Chapter 433: Chapter 432: Hui Liuliu Cries So Heartbrokenly

As an old mouse, passing out while injured basically spelled the end of any chance of survival.

He was very aware that he might never wake up again, perhaps to be injured in his sleep once again by someone in the village or by a cat, his cultivation destroyed in an instant, his soul returning to the Underworld.

Who would have known that upon opening his eyes, an elderly grandmother would be taking care of him.

They say that Gray Fairy had the ability to foresee the future, but it wasn’t really that magical. Even if he attempted to foresee, he could only get a glimpse into one out of ten matters related to himself.

For example, he had a premonition that he would encounter a disaster, but whether he would survive that disaster was unknown.

"She said she knew me." Gray Fairy scratched his head as he spoke, "Back when I was young, there was a severe drought in the mountains, with no water to drink or food to eat. I went down to a family’s home and asked for some water, leaving a gold nugget I dug up on the mountain in their home."

Upon hearing this, Pink Miaomiao suddenly chimed in along the topic of Gray Fairy’s conversation, "My grandma told me about this. There was a year when the drought was so severe that all the trees on the mountain dried up, and everyone had a hard time. Our family had a deep well, so drinking water wasn’t an issue, but food became a problem as the rice bin was nearly empty. She said she saw an old mouse drinking from the water bucket in her home, but she thought that mice were also living creatures, so she didn’t bother it."

"After the mouse left, there was a nugget of gold next to the bucket."

"It was that gold nugget that got my grandma’s family through the tough times; she was even able to use it as a dowry to marry my grandfather successfully. Otherwise, she might have been sold."

After all, it was a matter from over eighty years ago, when selling sons and daughters was a common affair.

Pink Miaomiao’s gaze toward Gray Fairy became much more composed.

Knowing the connection between Gray Fairy and her grandma, she was now able to adjust her mindset and accept the existence of Gray Fairy.

Hearing Pink Miaomiao take up his thread, Gray Fairy scratched his little paw and continued, "I didn’t even know these things. When I drank water at your grandma’s house and left that gold nugget, it was already to repay the kindness of the water. Your grandma saved me when I was facing a catastrophe, took great care of me, and even knitted this hat for me. So I stayed by your grandma’s side, wanting to keep repaying the kindness."

"But she always refused."

The old lady was getting on in years, her hearing also not what it used to be. Gray Fairy felt troubled that he wasn’t like Fox Fairy or White Fairy; he didn’t know the ways of healing or which herbal medicines were good for an elderly person on the verge of death.

All he could do was keep hiding some gold and such mundane objects in the grandma’s house, waiting for her to discover them.

But the grandma didn’t want them.

"What use would an old lady like me have for these things? Besides, the gold nugget you left back then has already brought great benefits to our family, that’s enough."

[My goodness, this grandma is really kindhearted, not even wanting gold and treasures.]

[I can understand the grandma’s thoughts. A glass of water exchanged for a gold nugget is already very advantageous; she doesn’t want to take more than that.]

The audience couldn’t help but discuss the grandma’s thoughts through their barrage of comments.

Gray Fairy couldn’t see the comments; he continued, "I was so troubled. You, your grandma saved my life, an act of kindness greater than heaven itself, which I must repay."

To Gray Fairy, the young grandma allowed him to safely drink that life-saving water, and the gold nugget he left was already repayment. But then, the grandma saved him again, and this act of kindness was a separate matter. If he didn’t repay this kindness, it would damage his Cultivation.

"The grandma was really kind to me; I always wanted to give her gold and treasures, but they were never accepted." Gray Fairy said, his eyes the size of beans welling up with tears. The little pink paw wiped away the tears, and he continued, "I was waiting for her to accept them, but what I didn’t expect was that her time was coming to an end. Before she died, she told me that if I had nowhere to go, I could follow her granddaughter. I didn’t need to give any gold or treasures. The granddaughter has the ability to earn money; all I needed to do was to ensure her happiness for her."

"I, I just followed you home when you were mourning her passing. I had tried to talk to you, but the moment I came out, you screamed in fright, so I had to hide. Seeing you were so exhausted, I tried to help you with your crafts, not expecting to scare you like that. I’m sorry."

Gray Fairy looked at Pink Miaomiao, and though he had the face of an old mouse with whiskers, there was an unexpected cuteness to him, and he seemed apologetic.

[I think there’s something wrong with me for finding an old mouse cute.]

[Hahaha, you’re not alone. I also find this old mouse cute.]

[Maybe it’s because he’s cleaner, and his eyes are more expressive? The eyes of a regular mouse don’t have this kind of Spiritual Qi.]

Comments started to discuss whether they liked or disliked mice.

The camera on Pink Miaomiao’s phone flipped, and she could now see the text on the screen as well.

Seeing that everyone was calling Gray Fairy cute, Pink Miaomiao felt perplexed.

She was still afraid of mice! It was normal for the netizens to find them cute from behind a screen. If she was only behind a screen, she wouldn’t feel anything either. But at that moment, she was face-to-face with a mouse, and even though she knew it wasn’t an ordinary mouse, just the thought of it scurrying around with its whiskers twitching sent a chill down her spine, giving her the creeps.

Noticing the fear in Pink Miaomiao’s eyes, Gray Fairy hung his head and retreated behind the books on the table, only revealing one eye.

He thought that by doing this, he could make Pink Miaomiao more comfortable, but instead, she shivered even more and appeared to be more frightened.

Now, Gray Fairy didn’t dare show his face anymore and resolutely hid himself properly.

"Now that he’s finished talking, Pink Miaomiao, what do you think?" Mianmian sought Pink Miaomiao’s opinion, "He came to repay kindness, and you can actually let him finish repaying, and then he can leave."

Pink Miaomiao shook her head, "No need, a glass of water is nothing, and grandma saved him because of that gold nugget, not expecting him to repay the kindness."

She grew up influenced by her grandmother, and with principles acquired through osmosis, she also believed that a good life should be created by one’s own hands and did not wish to live off handouts.

"Then Gray Fairy, what do you think?" Mianmian turned to ask the other party involved in the matter.

Gray Fairy’s voice came from behind the books, soft and tinged with both dejection and grievance, "I, I just want to repay kindness, I... my rank in the family is sixty-six, I am called Hui Liuliu. The family has high hopes for me, believing I have the talent to truly embark on Cultivation and become immortal. I don’t want to ruin my Cultivation because of this matter. But, this is actually secondary, I, I want to take care of her on behalf of her grandmother. Before the grandma died, she kept mentioning her granddaughter’s name, regretting not seeing her daughter get married and have children... I’ve promised already, sob sob sob."

Gray Liuliu, revealing his identity, cried profoundly.
