Chapter 1133 Scared Straight
After leaving these words, Mei Ling opened a tear in s.p.a.ce and disappeared. The young woman on the ground"s body trembled in fear. She had no idea what she had just witnessed, but she knew one thing. The person just now was not Kana"s daughter, Mei Ling! That was a frightening existence that was beyond comprehension!
"I need to leave… I need to go back immediately!" The young woman did not even dare to cause trouble for Kana anymore. She was afraid that if she did, she would not be able to deal with what would happen to her. She dragged her trembling body off the ground, quickly tore a hole in s.p.a.ce, and left without looking back.
"So…. Grandpa, you want me to stay in this realm for a while?" Kana asked as she beat into her new serving of meat.
"Yes, although I am not sure if you want to stay so long. I just really want to clean this place up in a more natural way. If I were to pull the evil energy out of this realm, it would cause the people here to die, which is why I did not do it. This was my mistake, and while the people here were not living good lives, I couldn"t bring myself to kill them all because of my mistake. At least they were still alive even though the life they were living was one of madness." The old man sighed. He felt helpless. To him, all the life forms he created were his children. Her did not wish to destroy them with his own hand. Especially when it was his fault that they had become what they were.
"I can stay for a while. Not like I planned to go back to the Academy. But you must watch over my domain and family. If anyone dares to touch them, make a door ornament and give it to my baby Rain. She will know what to do with it." Kana needed to make sure nothing happened while she was here. If she suddenly got caught up in something and was unable to check in on her family, at least she would have someone keeping an eye on them.
"No problem. I will not let anything happen to your family." The old man would never let anything happen to his great grandchildren. Since Kana took him as her grandpa, he had become her children"s great grandfather.
"Then I will be counting on you. As for this realm, just leave it to me. I will keep traveling through the lands, and hopefully, it will eventually make this realm a better place." Kana could see the difference in the people"s aura. While it was still hazy, it was starting to clear up, and the madness that was instilled in them was disappearing.
"You have my word. I will be heading off. I still have much to do. I leave this place to you. And Kana…. Thank you." The old man was truly grateful. He was glad he did not mischoose his heir. Kana was kind yet still stuck up for injustice. He knew she would not stay in this realm long since her strength far exceeded it, but he hoped she would still hang around for a short while.
The old man said his goodbyes to Kana before returning to Eden. It was there that he sat in his chair, looking blankly at the doc.u.ments in front of him. "I had long planned to retire, but it seems fate has decided I can not…."
It was at that moment the young woman who had once wanted to cause trouble for Kana walked in with a tray that had a freshly brewed kettle of tea on it. "Your Holiness…."
The old man looked up and almost fell out of his chair when he looked at the young woman"s face. "What the h.e.l.l happened to you!? You look as if someone stomped on your face!"
The young woman gritted her teeth. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d did not hold back even when hitting a woman! She had tried to reduce the swelling with magic, but there seemed to be a strange energy fluctuation that would reject the healing. She could only put up with her current look at this time. Not wanting the old man to know she had gone to the realm below, she gritted her teeth and said: "I tripped and fell on the corner of a rock wall."
"I see…." The old man looked at her strangely. He did not understand why she did not heal it! From what he could see, there should be no issue with her healing her own wounds. He did not understand why she was doing such a thing. He could only guess she had some kind of strange swollen face kink. Deciding not to think about it anymore, he said: "I have a new task for you. You are to watch over my granddaughter"s family, especially the two younger ones, Bi Ling and Mei Ling. Do not let anything happen to any of them."
Hearing the name Mei Ling made the young woman"s entire body tremble in fear. She looked at the old man, wondering what she did to receive such punishment. She did not know if he knew that she had followed him or not. All she knew was now she had to look after that monster!
"You okay?" The old man saw that the young woman seemed to be troubled by something.
"Ye-Yes, Your Holiness. Thank you for caring about me. I wil-will be sure to watch over your granddaughter"s family." The young woman had no choice but to comply. She felt like she was walking on thin ice as it was. If she said no or tried to make up some kind of excuse not to do as she was asked, the old man might end up punis.h.i.+ng her for her acts. But what really worried her was angering that monster of a child. The young woman could only curse her luck. She hated Kana and her family, but she did not dare do anything to them.
