Chapter 51: Chapter 10_2

The cat-faced old lady smiled and nodded, saying to the chubby master and others: "Everyone has worked hard, let’s eat together."

According to local customs, during the banquet, after the first and second rounds are finished, the guests are taken care of, and then one or two tables are set for the cooks, helpers, and family members to eat.

"Alright, old nanny." The chubby master and the old grandmas regained their energy and began to clean up and prepare to eat.

"Bring the child along too."

After giving the order, the cat-faced old lady turned and walked towards the outside of the kitchen. Li Zhiyuan noticed that her footprints had water marks, and the fabric shoes she wore were particularly dark in color. They made a "squeaking" sound as she walked, as if filled with water.

Could this be, hitting the nail on the head?

"Come, child, let’s eat." The chubby master grabbed Li Zhiyuan’s hand, interrupting his thoughts.

Li Zhiyuan noticed that the old grandmas didn’t try to grab Qin Li, clearly the cat-faced old lady was not interested in her, the "dim-witted" girl. He let go of Qin Li’s hand and turned to her, saying:

"You go ahead... no, just stand here and don’t move."

Not knowing where to go, it would be safer to stay in the kitchen. After all, what the old lady wanted was him.

Li Zhiyuan was taken out of the kitchen, where it was now eerily silent, even though it was previously filled with people.

Not that there were no people, on the contrary, many were there, shoulder to shoulder, packed together in a tight group, yet no one spoke or even moved.

The tables and chairs that were originally there had been neatly stacked against the walls. Now, only two relatively open areas remained.

One had a table with food and drinks, and the other was occupied by the three children performing.

Everyone else was crowded around, waiting to watch the performance after the meal.

Li Zhiyuan was dragged by the chubby master to the table.

The cat-faced old lady was already seated at the head, patted the empty spot beside her: "Come, child, sit next to grandma."

Li Zhiyuan had no choice but to sit down, deliberately looking back in the direction he came from, only to discover that Qin Li hadn’t listened and stayed in the kitchen. Instead, she had followed out and was now standing among the crowd, her gaze fixed on him.

People are ignoring you, why are you still trying to get closer?

The cat-faced old lady noticed as well and smiled, asking: "Why not, invite her to sit with us?"

"No, grandma, she has eaten already, she has a bad temper, is shy, and could unsettle everyone here."

"Oh? Then why are you still playing with her?"

"She’s a neighbor, so I just bring her along."

"Hehe, you are kind-hearted." The cat-faced old lady placed her hand on Li Zhiyuan’s head, gently stroking it, "All my grandchildren, when they were young, were also taken care of by me. Back then, they would call me ’grandma,’ but as they grew up, they couldn’t wait for me to die. They all think that because I don’t die, they can’t live well and can’t become wealthy."

Li Zhiyuan listened quietly.

"How could I understand how they turned out like this? Perhaps, it really is my fault, I have lived too long, draining their good fortune, am I sorry for them? I think, it would be better for me to die sooner and be reborn, for their sake too, child, am I right?"

If that’s really what you think, why have you become a Corpse?

According to "Jianghu Chronicles," a Corpse is a being driven by resentment.

How can you be sitting here without resentment, driven by memories?

"Grandma, you shouldn’t think like that. My mother once told me, reflecting on oneself and trying to understand a beast when faced with one are both ridiculous things."

"Oh... your mother is quite wise." After a pause, the cat-faced old lady laughed to herself, "Hehe, I think the same, but still feel somewhat reluctant, after all, they are children I raised."

"Do they treat you as their mother, as their grandma?"

"In my eyes, they are still children, after all, children are bound to make mistakes, aren’t they?"

"But they themselves are now grandparents, have been parents, how could they not understand your feelings, yet they still do this."

"Right, they are truly detestable!!!"

The green light in the cat-faced old lady’s eyes began to swirl rapidly, and sharp teeth flipped out of her lips.

"Child, you are absolutely correct, I really fancy you so much!"

This time, both her hands grabbed Li Zhiyuan’s face, continuously kneading it.

Li Zhiyuan felt like his face was about to freeze.

"Gran... you must not let them go."

The cat-faced old lady let go of Li Zhiyuan’s face, her hands clutching the tabletop, leaving ten deep indentations with her nails:

"I couldn’t possibly let them go, these people are even worse than animals!"

Li Zhiyuan: Worse than us animals?

So, is the main controller of this Corpse Demon a cat?

The cat-faced old lady turned to look at Li Zhiyuan, word by word she said: "Child, watch closely, I will make them pay for what they have done!"

Am I going to live to see that?

Li Zhiyuan immediately concurred: "Of course, grandma!"

He didn’t feel any guilt about directing her hatred, as he was simply filling in the answers to the questions he knew. Without his influence, the old lady would act in this manner anyway. If he tried to persuade her to let go, it would be his head on the line.

At this moment, the chubby master spoke up: "Old nanny, can we start eating now?"
