Chapter 52: Old Fogeys Advice (1/2)

The old man waved his hand, and suddenly the time froze inside the room, leaving only the old man and Snowy unaffected. Snowy felt suffocated by the old man's power. She didn't expect to meet someone this unfathomable in the Eastern Region.

If the old man had a bad intention to her or Feng Xue, no matter if she were alone or joined hand with Feng Xue, they would be helpless to resist. In the end, she could only clench her fist and stare at the old man with vigilant eyes.

”You don't need to be so hostile to me. If I want to harm you, we won't have a chat like this right now. And who I am is not important. I'm just an old man that had long been forgotten, not worth mentioning. You can call me old man or old fogey like that rabbit lass or whatever,” said the old man nonchalantly.

Then, he looked at Snowy with narrow eyes, ”But you...you're far more interesting. Who are you, really? You shouldn't have existed, but yet here you are. And your soul also incomplete, unlike most living beings. Yet, you're obviously a human. How curious.”

The old man fell quiet seemed to be deep in thought. He once again glanced at Snowy. After a moment, a small sigh came out from his mouth, ”So you're that existence. You must be very important to her for her willingly paid such a price.”

”Do...do you know my origin? What was my relationship with her?” Snowy choked back when she heard the word ”her” came from the old man's mouth. She had a hunch that he must have known more about what had happened in the past. Her heart pounded wildly in expectation of uncovering some of the secrets of her origin. Alas, the old man's next word poured cold water over her.

”It's not my place to say. She must have her reason why she did this. You can only ask her directly to get an answer. Besides...” 'She will beat me like a dog if I reveal something to you and accidentally spoil her plan' The old man kept the continuation of his word to himself and shuddered as he imagined what will happen if she became furious.

”Besides what?” Snowy insisted on getting even the slightest clue about the goddess and her past.

”Besides, it's your business, not mine. I'm not that free to meddle with someone else problem, got it?” said the old man lazily while he rocked his chair and enjoyed the swing.

Snowy stared at him intensely, certainly won't give up easily. Feeling prickling sense on his skin, he heaved a deep sigh from the bottom of his heart before saying, ”Go to the west. You'll find more clues about her. That's the only thing I can say about this matter, more than that won't be good for both of us...”

”Thank you...”

Snowy, actually still not satisfied by his answer but dropped her shoulder helplessly and let the matter rest. If the old man didn't want to speak anymore, she couldn't do anything to force him.

”What's your mission?” Asked the old man suddenly.

”Ascending to become a God,” replied Snowy honestly.
