AST 2080 - Can’t I Even Think About It? (1/2)

Qing Shui laughed as he said, “Grandpa Qi, don’t worry. I will take care of her for the rest of my life; no one will be able to bully her. I will make her feel like the most blissful girl.”

“Hahaha, good. You rascal want to take responsibility. I also trust her judgment. The guy that she fancies is definitely not an ordinary man. I am old already, you are also grown up as well. You have achieved a lot, but you must remember to ground yourself from time to time,” said Grandpa Qi smilingly.

Shen Huang’s emotions were mixed, but she still wore a smile. “Grandpa Qi, you’re my closest and most beloved family. I couldn’t have lived through these years without you.”

“You would still be able to live well without me. In the future, this boy will be your closest family. Give him and yourself a chance. I wish you happiness, it is my greatest wish for you. Seeing him with you, I am relieved. Even though there’s nothing to worry about now, I trust my judgment. You will be with him for the rest of your life.”

Grandpa Qi joyously remarked, as though he had seen the happiness Qing Shui and Shen Huang would experience.

While looking completely blushed, Shen Huang asked, “Grandpa Qi, do you really think that we are a good fit for each other?”

“Haha, whether you are a good fit or not, I think you already know the answer. Alright, I need to leave. I don’t have much time left and I still have some unfinished business,” Grandpa Qi stood up and walked out after saying that.

“Grandpa Qi, Qing Shui is a great physician, let him take a look at you!” said Shen Huang hastily.

“My natural lifespan is coming to an end. Even a deity can’t save me. Furthermore, It’s time for me to go. You’ve already become independent. Everyone dies eventually, so there’s no meaning in trying to live any longer. It’s time for me to rest.”

Grandpa Qi then disappeared into the distance.

Shen Huang was slightly depressed. Looking at the yard, her feelings could not be expressed. Grandpa Qi was an eccentric man. She knew that he had been silently helping her out, getting rid of many people who threatened Shen Huang’s safety. Though there was no evidence, Shen Huang knew that it was Grandpa Qi who was helping her.

Grandpa Qi treated Shen Huang as his own daughter. His abilities were unfathomable, but he usually never revealed them.

The people of Phoenix City knew of an old man, Phoenix’s kin, but they could never know of his strength and wisdom.

Shen Huang realized that Grandpa Qi was never coming back. However, she was also open-minded, so despite her sadness, she remained strong. She turned back to look at Qing Shui,” let’s go to the Phoenix City’s largest restaurant to drink.”

Phoenix City’s largest restaurant was known worldwide.

Its name was ‘Enthralling Fragrance’

Its popularity was definitely exaggerated in its title, but the fragrance of its alcohol was undeniably strong. In Phoenix city, it was definitely a busy restaurant. Qing Shui and Shen Huang were sitting near the window.

The people there seemed to not recognize this lady. Actually, Qing Shui was one of the few people who could easily understand Shen Huang. Outsiders who glanced upon Shen Huang would only feel confused, unable to clearly see what Shen Huang looks like, just her luscious bearing.

“Let me tell you guys a story that will shock you.”

An intelligent young man said from a nearby table.

The table had 8 people seating. Based on their clothing and mannerism, they were the middle class from Phoenix city. Life wasn’t bad, but they traversed the boundaries between life and death. They had the aura of bloodshed and death.

“What story? What other stories could shock us,” remarked a sloppy fellow. This person struck others as a loafer. As the legends typically go, those with messy hair, but were not ugly, had a different type of charisma.

“Lang San, who do you keep taking notice of?” said the previous man while laughing.

“Is that even a question? The one he respects the most in Phoenix City is Ms. Phoenix. That is the goddess in his heart. Though he has not personally seen her, it only took one drawing for him to be enchanted. If you mention to him that she might be in danger, he will go there unquestioningly to save her,” a spiritless voice rang out.
