Chapter 988: A Gift From the Future
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhou Zhi felt that this was a very strange feeling. He was dead, but he was still alive.
He was a timeless body.
He looked at Su Xiaolu quietly and watched her cry. Zhou Zhi sighed softly.
Fortunately, this was only for a short time. His Xiaolu would continue on the path she had to take. One day, he would tell her that they would meet again in the future.
Zhou Zhi watched as Su Xiaolu calmly dealt with his funeral arrangements and quietly buried him by the peach tree they had planted together. According to his wishes, she did not carve a tombstone.
Su Xiaolu accompanied him here for several years. She was so quiet that she seemed to have become one with the mountains and rivers.
It was as if she was the only one left in the world. Zhou Zhi’s heart ached when he saw this. Fortunately, time would calm everything down.
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter did not stop passing. Zhou Zhi saw some familiar faces. Su Kuo and Little Niu had returned.
He knew that Su Kuo was not human, so he was not surprised that Su Kuo was still alive. However, Little Niu was actually still alive too. He had not aged. He must have comprehended his own Dao.
With them here, Su Xiaolu was no longer lonely.
Su Kuo transformed into his beast form and carried Su Xiaolu away. The three of them accompanied each other. Zhou Zhi felt that this was very good. Apart from never being able to come into contact with Su Xiaolu again, nothing had changed.
Actually, he was following them too.
Zhou Zhi watched as Su Xiaolu and the others experienced many difficulties.
This world was ever-changing. When one cultivated to their peak, more and more children with good foundations were born.
There were also more changes in sects.
Guiyuan Academy was a large sect and represented royal justice.
Zhou Zhi could know anything as long as he wanted to, because everything was set in time.
He accompanied Su Xiaolu and watched with his own eyes as she experienced countless lightning tribulations and escaped the shackles. Su Kuo turned into a little beast and went with her.
There was no one else he was familiar with in this world.
It had only been ten thousand years since the recovery of spiritual energy dried up.
As the spiritual energy dissipated, all the foreign races died. The only thing the world favored was humans.
Ordinary, weak, but strong.
The demons of the past and all kinds of rare treasures gradually became legends in the eyes of future generations.
Zhou Zhi searched for a long time before he finally found Su Xiaolu’s original world.
The traffic here was prosperous, and men and women were free and equal. Technology was developing at a high speed. Those strange worlds were movies and television dramas filmed by people.
His Xiaolu came from such a place.
People believed in science, but there was no definite answer to what lay at the end of it.
Over the long years, he had also realized that Su Xiaolu was unusual. It turned out that she had lived two lifetimes. He had traveled through countless time and space to find her.
He finally found Su Xiaolu.
He was furious as he watched the woman secretly leave Su Xiaolu on the cold street.
But he knew that this could not be changed. This was Su Xiaolu’s life.
That kind and old-fashioned old man was a little similar to her former Master.
He was wearing a coat and holding a tobacco pipe. When he returned home drunk, he heard Su Xiaolu crying. He walked over to take a look. He was suspicious and finally sighed helplessly. He carried Su Xiaolu home.
The old man lived alone. He had been studying Traditional Chinese Medicine since he was young and was now an old Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner. He usually treated his neighbors for a living.
He thought about how old he was. He had to have someone to take care of his funeral.
When he opened the swaddling clothes and saw that it was a girl, the old man smiled. It was expected. Who would bear to throw away a boy?
So be it.
The old man was not rich, but he gave Su Xiaolu the best. He gave her a name.
“Lu, you gather and disperse well. You’re strong, but you’re especially timid. You run when you see a shadow. From now on, your surname will be Su and your name will be Xiaolu.”
When Su Xiaolu grew up, she would run all over the mountains with the old man. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, her face was rosy and healthy. She liked to learn from the old man and had been like a young doctor since she was young.
She took people’s pulses and treated them well.
The old man was not restrained, making Su Xiaolu unbelievably wild.
But an old man with a young girl was always conjectured.
Zhou Zhi was also angry when he saw this. People’s hearts were dirty.
The old man had always been kind and benevolent, but after hearing such rumors, he was also angry. His face turned red as he walked down the streets and scolded them sarcastically. His scolding was not pleasant.
Who said anything behind his back? They didn’t even dare to say anything after being scolded by him. Even if there were a few who were unwilling to admit defeat, the old man could quickly mock them back.
He was famous for being a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner in this small town. He remembered clearly which family had looked for him to treat their illness and which family was poor and he did not collect the medicine money from them. He could spout dirty words, but he could also scold people without using a single foul word.
Su Xiaolu had officially become his disciple.
The old man taught her more and more diligently.
When Su Xiaolu went to school, the old man personally picked her up no matter what.
Just like that, Su Xiaolu grew up.
The old man did not expect himself to die so suddenly. He was fine when he fell asleep at night, but he passed away in his sleep.
Actually, one could see that it was unusual.
For example, he had recently cleaned up the house completely. He had counted everything and recorded some complicated things in his notes. This way, Su Xiaolu would not be in a mess when she returned. She was so smart and understood at a glance.
Before the old man realized that he was about to die, he had already quietly arranged his funeral arrangements.
People could not stop separations.
Seeing Su Xiaolu return and seeing her cry sadly, Zhou Zhi sighed. His Xiaolu had suffered.
It was Su Xiaolu’s regret that the old man could not enjoy his life.
However, she was as outstanding as the old man had hoped. Her medical techniques were famous in the academic world. After she finished studying, she inherited the old man’s legacy and opened a Traditional Chinese Medicine pharmacy. She often did consultations and often went out to pick herbs.
However, thinking that she would leave this world, Zhou Zhi began to plan.
He remembered everything about Su Xiaolu, so the hardships of Su Xiaolu’s reincarnation were what he was concerned about.
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao could not die so that his Xiaolu could have someone to protect her.
Su Chong and Su Hua couldn’t stay stupid forever. Only then could he and Xiaolu meet again.
The fusion of the two worlds would cause changes. His Xiaolu would become stronger and stronger under the protection of the Space.
He found an uncivilized world and condensed it in time. When Su Xiaolu died and was reborn as a human, he would give it to her as a gift.
This gift gathered spiritual energy and could protect one’s lifespan and cleanse irreversible injuries. It was also Su Xiaolu’s greatest reliance. It would protect Su Xiaolu forever on his behalf.
His love was like this Small World, majestic and silent.
After settling this matter, Zhou Zhi was relieved. He had to continue looking for his Xiaolu. In the future, be it unfamiliar faces or anything else, they would meet and reunite in the end. He would always be by Su Xiaolu’s side.
Past, present, and future.
Time was everywhere.
After the finale, there will be an additional story that had nothing to do with the main story. Xiaolu and Su Kuo would repair the world. Zhou Zhi and Xiaolu would reunite in countless worlds and continue to fall in love with each other.
It was a multi-elemental world. If you don’t want to see it, you could stop here.
Thank you. The world is a big place. Let’s continue to meet in the past, present,and future..
