Chapter 794: Chapter 794 Zhao’er Looks So Beautiful Today_1

"Little Lui An."

Upon hearing this name, Grandma Meng’s brow immediately furrowed, "Could it be that you’ve already gathered those three items?"

"Mhm."

Seeing you nod, Grandma Meng fell silent.

Rain, pitter-pattering, as if two lovers deep in romance were whispering sweet nothings by the window sill.

After a long while, Grandma Meng spoke again, "Could you let this old woman have a look at those three items?"

With a casual flip of your hand, the three items miraculously appeared in your palm.

Resting on your left hand was a cheap plastic bowl, inside of which was the Grandma Meng Soup; your right hand held two things, a copper lock, and a black gourd the size of a thumb.

Grandma Meng’s attention was first drawn to the Soul Lock. Without waiting for your consent, she reached into the air with a light grab, and the Soul Lock, breaking through the spatial boundaries, appeared in her hand.

"Soul Lock, this thing was once a personal treasure of Master Zhang of Mount Longhu, where did you find it?"

The Dragon King Temple was a taboo and currently the place you least wanted to mention, so you kept silent.

Seeing you not speaking, Grandma Meng chuckled lightly, "You little ghost head, if I really wanted to know, do you think you could hide it from me?"

With that, Grandma Meng casually tossed the Soul Lock into the air, and as soon as she threw it, the Soul Lock instantly reappeared in the center of your hand.

"As for this little gourd..." Grandma Meng didn’t move but stared at it for a long time before looking up and asking, "Who gave it to you?"

"Lord Wu’An, Li Mu."

"Indeed, there were rumors that the object was in his possession back then. But the man disappeared without a trace upon being imprisoned, and the Sect of Heavenly Secrets searched in vain for dozens of years before they gave up the search, closed their sect, focused on cultivation and ceased to meddle in worldly affairs."

Hearing Grandma Meng sounding quite familiar with the Profound Dark Gourd, you couldn’t help but ask, "Grandma, does the Profound Dark Gourd have any other magical effects?"

"He didn’t tell you?"

You shook your head slightly, "Maybe there wasn’t enough time, or perhaps he didn’t want to say."

"Where is he now?"

"His bodily form has perished, as for his soul..."

Seeing your hesitation, Grandma Meng waved her hand dismissively, "Never mind, I don’t want to hear about it. Anyway, I can’t manage the affairs of the Sect of Heavenly Secrets, and I don’t want to."

Then, Grandma Meng continued, "However, Little Mu Yun, you should take good care of this little gourd. Don’t take it out when it’s not necessary, especially in front of Taoists."

"Oh, I understand."

But as Grandma Meng’s gaze inadvertently swept over the Grandma Meng Soup, a flash of surprise crossed her eyes, but it was fleeting, and she did not speak about it, instead, she repeated her previous caution, "Little Mu Yun, though I can no longer dissuade you from your decision, I still want to warn you one thing, once it’s done, never regret it, and don’t fantasize about turning everything back to the way it was."

Her words made you startle, and just as you were ready to ask for clarification, a crisp voice came through the rain from not too far away, "Elder sister is preaching again, how boring. Isn’t it that as people age, they all become like this, huh?"

She was an elf of the rain.

She was still wearing her black princess dress, stepping in a pair of black rain boots, joyfully jumping on the wet stone slabs in the rain.

Despite the intensifying rain and occasional puddles on the stone slabs, she, with no umbrella, remained untouched by the rain. Her body seemed to repel water, as every drop of it was energetically repelled.

"Daddy, daddy, have you prepared all three items?"

The appearance of Little Lui An caused Grandma Meng to stop talking. Without another word, she turned, got into her car, and gradually disappeared into the rain...

Although confused at heart, just as Grandma Meng had said, no one could change your decision at this moment.

Seeing the three items in your hands, Little Lui An immediately grinned and walked up to you, saying, "Daddy, let’s go home. Tonight, I want to sleep with Daddy and Mommy."

After the maroon BMW X5 pulled away, a man in a black wind coat slowly emerged from a noodle shop by the small bridge. Raindrops fell and were repelled by an invisible force, keeping even a single drop of rain from clinging to his clothes.

He walked up to Grandma Meng’s food truck and said, "Give me a bowl of dumplings."

Grandma Meng silently served the man a bowl of dumplings. When she saw he had finished, she finally spoke up, "So, you’re not going to stop him?"

The man paused for an instant and let out a light sigh, "If this is a destiny he cannot avoid, then he must bear the consequences for his actions, even if they are the worst kind of misfortune."

Grandma Meng chuckled lightly, "That doesn’t sound like something a father should say."

The man in black slightly raised his head. Under the dim streetlight, his face bore some resemblance to yours. However, compared to you, his face was more weathered and rough, with a long scar on the left cheek.

"A man cannot understand the grandeur of the sea without facing the storms."

With those words, the man in black turned away and walked slowly into the rainy night.

"Oh, by the way, there might be some twists and turns. I think you should be prepared," Grandma Meng called after him.

"Hmm?" The man turned around, looking at Grandma Meng with a hint of surprise.

Grandma Meng smiled and added, "Actually, Mu Yun is much stronger than you imagine, much stronger."

The man halted, his face unconsciously reflecting a myriad of complex emotions.

"Let’s wait and see."

The next day, the sun shone brightly.

Yuhang District, northwest suburb, at the midsection of a mountain, within a private estate.

Aside from Yu Xiaomei, who had disguised herself as Xiao Meiyu, everyone from the supernatural detective society was there.

They all gathered on the lawn beside the woodland of the estate, chatting intermittently. At this moment, however, everyone’s thoughts were not on the conversation. Instead, they were focused on Little Lui An, who was playing with Little Hei on the grass nearby.

"Boss, are you really ready?" Zong Wangyue came to your side and asked.

You were currently intently reading a piece of paper, which Little Lui An had given you the night before. It detailed how to restore Zhao’er’s consciousness and transform her into a human body.

At the same time, Little Lui An had also prepared three items, but she hadn’t taken them out yet, waiting for you to be ready before presenting them together.

"Yeah, almost there."

You looked up towards the others. At this moment, Wu Qiyi and Zhao’er were approaching slowly. Naturally, their arrival caught everyone’s attention.

"Wow, Zhao’er looks so beautiful today," Lin Panxia said with undisguised admiration.

Nie Ying wrapped her arm around Lin Panxia and said softly with a smile, "You’re very beautiful too, Xiaxia."

"Really?" Lin Panxia looked at herself and said, "But Brother Mu Yun hardly pays me any attention. He always sees me as a child. I’ve tried to seduce him many times, and I’ve never succeeded."

Yang Kai and the others, upon hearing this, all bowed their heads to hide their laughter.
