The "Mother’s Love Mountain Slash" talisman paper in my pocket can even kill those in the Ascension Realm!
Mrs. He, with a fox face and human body, stood up straight from the ground. She tilted her head and moved her neck a bit while letting out a creepy laugh, saying, "Boy, I’ll bury you outside the ancestral tomb of the Sun family, and you can be a graveyard guardian spirit here.
I can see you have some Tao Practice, is it Guiyuan Realm?
It’s useless, you are still no match for me, old lady. Be quick and don’t make a fuss, I’ll make sure you suffer less."
She extended her right hand, surprisingly it was a claw, with fingers curved like hooks, sharp as knives, and then she grabbed at Chen Yan’s neck!
Chen Yan didn’t move!
He stood still, not even stepping back a bit.
Instead, watching the claw reach for him, Chen Yan swiftly spoke in a cold voice.
"Huang Shunying is my grandmother."
Mrs. He froze two steps away from Chen Yan’s neck!
Her fox face showing an incredulous expression, staring at Chen Yan, "You... what did you say?"
"I said, Huang Shunying is my grandmother!" Chen Yan repeated with a casual tone.
Mrs. He’s body trembled, her eyes darting around in panic, "I-I don’t believe it! You little brat are lying! You must have heard this name somewhere, trying to trick me!"
Chen Yan chuckled, took out his phone from his pocket, quickly opened the album, and clicked on a photo of him and his grandmother taken last summer break.
In the photo, he and his grandmother were leaning heads together, smiling brightly at the camera.
Mrs. He’s gaze fell on the photo on the phone screen...
The fox spirit monster knelt on the ground, staring wide-eyed at Chen Yan, filled with astonishment.
Chen Yan’s expression remained unchanged, but at this moment, he quietly released the "Formless Tribulation-breaking Slash" talisman paper in his other pocket.
Grandmother’s name is effective!
Mrs. He sat on the ground for over ten seconds, still muttering, "How is this possible, how is this possible, impossible..."
Chen Yan squinted at the fox spirit old lady, his thoughts stirring, deliberately asked, "Why is it impossible?"
"Because..." Mrs. He started to say, then abruptly stopped.
Chen Yan slowly said, "You mean, because... how could the Lord Venerable of the Domain Realm have a grandson in this world?"
Mrs. He’s eyes widened suddenly, "You know the Domain Realm? No! You are from the Domain Realm?!"
Chen Yan said nothing, just looked at Mrs. He with a feigned cold expression.
In fact, countless thoughts surged in his mind!
This fox spirit monster Mrs. He... she knows the Domain Realm!
This is an important piece of information.
Because... even the Gui Geng at home doesn’t know about the Domain Realm!
From the few words Young Lady Gu had said, Chen Yan knew roughly: Gui Geng didn’t come to the human world from the Domain Realm. Rather, its ancestors came from the Domain Realm, seemingly involving an event called "Escape Realm" many years ago.
A group of beings from the Domain Realm came to the human world, reproduced, and left descendants.
The old tortoise at home belonged to this category. But due to the long passage of time, the cultivation heritage left behind was somewhat incomplete, and its origin was unknown.
But this fox spirit monster Mrs. He, spoke of the Domain Realm directly, and when Chen Yan mentioned "Venerable," she showed no confusion or surprise.
Chen Yan said nothing, but Mrs. He misunderstood, thought for a moment and then nodded, "Indeed... you must be from the Domain Realm. Hmm, judging by the days, the Array of the World Wall should be reopening."
Curiously, she looked at Chen Yan, "Fellow Taoist... are you of the Ghost Race as well? But I don’t smell the scent on you."
Hmm, having backing really helps, huh.
See, the boy has now become a fellow Taoist... Chen Yan coldly chuckled inside.
He slowly crouched down, squatting in front of Mrs. He, and handed her a cigarette.
Mrs. He hesitated, then took it. With a snap of her hand, a green flame lit the cigarette.
"Mrs. He, don’t ask about my affairs, talk about yourself."
"What’s there to talk about." Mrs. He seemed somewhat helpless, smoking, her voice muffled, "You are the grandson of the Venerable, how can I dare to kill you? If I harm you, your karma will be left on me.
Even if I don’t return to the Domain Realm, the Lord Venerable could deduce this karma, then peel my skin, draw my tendons, grind my bones to ashes, and even my primordial spirit would be extracted and made into a ghost puppet... not only me but my entire clan would suffer."
Saying this, she shivered again.
Chen Yan carefully tasted the details in Mrs. He’s words.
She said "return" to the Domain Realm!
Thinking about this, Chen Yan calmly asked Mrs. He, "Do you want to return to the Domain Realm?"
"..." Mrs. He didn’t speak, but obviously her breath hitched a bit.
After a long silence, she slowly shook her head, "I do want to, but... I can’t go back."
Chen Yan instinctively wanted to ask: why.
But he held back the words on his lips.
Not wise... asking directly might reveal flaws.
He took a deep breath, lightly sighed, showing a deeply emotional expression, and said with a nostalgic tone, "Actually... what’s good about returning to the Domain Realm?
