Chapter 1653: Chapter 1654: The Most Beautiful Woman
A gentle, or perhaps benevolent, sensation wrapped around him—a feeling Su Chengyu had never experienced before.
Su Chengyu opened his mouth but then closed it again. Despite having conversed in his Sea of Consciousness, at this very moment, face to face with her, he still didn’t know what to say.
The gazes of Bai Qiu and the others deliberately averted elsewhere, and even Yu Yanshu sensibly stepped aside to stand next to Su Chengyu. Yet, despite their efforts, Su Chengyu still felt incredibly awkward.
This sudden emergence of a familial connection left Su Chengyu somewhat at a loss.
Even knowing that she had always been hidden within the Heavenly Fox Orb, quietly watching his journey, couldn’t dispel the unease lingering in Su Chengyu’s heart.
Noticing Su Chengyu’s hesitation, the Green Hillock Empress gently waved her hand. A ray of green light enveloped Su Chengyu and pulled him closer to her.
Yu Yanshu instinctively tried to grab Su Chengyu, but Bai Qiu stopped her.
Seeing Bai Qiu shake his head slowly, Yu Yanshu exhaled and eventually stayed to the side, refraining from interrupting Su Chengyu’s personal moment.
Passing through the green light, Su Chengyu instantly found his connection to the outside world completely severed—not just with the others, but even the Heaven-Mending Stone at his right hand could no longer communicate with him at this moment.
This Immortal-level technique surprised Su Chengyu greatly, but it also made him realize that the woman before him had once been an existence standing at the summit of the cultivation world.
A legendary figure who should not have been outshone by his grandfather, Su Linyuan, but whose brilliance had been immensely overshadowed by his dazzling presence. A woman who had once held the top spot on the Red List.
Su Chengyu lifted his head and opened his mouth. He clearly had countless questions, yet he couldn’t even utter a simple address at this moment. A peculiar feeling enveloped his entire body, leaving him deeply uncomfortable.
"I’m sorry, Yu Er. It’s only at this critical juncture that I’ve come to meet you. Don’t blame me—and, more importantly, don’t blame your grandfather."
Su Chengyu raised his head to look at the Green Hillock Empress, her face still indistinct, and hesitated for a moment before finally managing to say his first words: "Why would I blame you? I just... find it strange..."
"Strange about what? Strange about how your grandfather fell from his position of eminence back then? Or strange that, at that critical moment, I neither did anything for the Qiuqiu Fox Clan nor did anything for you or Tian Er?"
Su Chengyu was startled and looked up. He hadn’t yet spoken, yet she had preempted his innermost thoughts with startling accuracy.
Indeed, these were the issues that had always preoccupied Su Chengyu’s heart.
Even though he understood that his grandfather had been ambushed and schemed against by enemies from all sides, what he couldn’t fathom was why the Green Hillock Empress, also at the Demon God Realm, seemed to have vanished into thin air during that time, doing absolutely nothing.
Not even during the years when Su Linyuan hid away in Lin Jiang and single-handedly raised him did the name of the Green Hillock Empress ever surface again.
"I’m sorry for the grievances you’ve endured all these years."
Instead of offering an explanation, the Green Hillock Empress chose to apologize first. As she said this, she slowly extended her arms and pulled Su Chengyu into her embrace.
Su Chengyu stood there woodenly, neither resisting nor rejecting her. Surrounded by the green light, he felt an unprecedented gentleness.
Seeing Su Chengyu’s evident discomfort, the Green Hillock Empress chuckled, reached out to pat his head, and smiled softly. "Don’t worry; they can’t see what’s happening here. Besides, if you stay so cold and distant, Grandma will be heartbroken."
Su Chengyu raised his head again, and at that moment, he finally saw the face of the Green Hillock Empress—a visage of unmatched beauty.
Having met countless peerless beauties throughout his life, Su Chengyu’s understanding of the word "beauty" was once again redefined.
Unlike Lin An’s regal elegance or Xu Nanzhi’s serene grace, the beauty of the Green Hillock Empress conveyed a sense of Unity of Heaven and Man.
Her very presence felt as though it fused seamlessly with the heavens and earth. The stars and galaxies seemed like mere ornaments beside her, while her faintly upturned lips appeared capable of ensnaring one’s soul.
Su Chengyu instinctively swallowed and blinked. "No wonder Grandpa didn’t care about the world’s opinions and insisted on being with you back then."
The Green Hillock Empress couldn’t help but laugh at his words. She then reached out and lightly flicked Su Chengyu’s forehead. "What’s this? In your eyes, is your grandfather the kind of man who acts purely out of infatuation?"
Feigning an aggrieved expression, Su Chengyu rubbed his forehead and muttered, "I didn’t mean that. I just... get why even someone like Grandpa would be moved."
The Green Hillock Empress seemed somewhat appeased upon hearing this, nodding slightly. "Well, that’s true enough. For me to agree to be with your grandfather, you could say I got the short end of the stick."
Su Chengyu dared not refute. Listening to this breathtaking woman refer to herself as his grandmother felt undeniably strange.
After all, in his memories, Su Linyuan was an aged figure, even if not yet white-haired, at least middle-aged and weathered—completely incongruous with the unparalleled beauty before him now.
Noticing Su Chengyu’s inner thoughts, the Green Hillock Empress chuckled. "Back then, though your grandfather’s fame hadn’t yet peaked, I have to admit, he was handsome—both in looks and in his conduct. But he was rather different from you. If I had to describe him... Hmm, I’d say he was more upright."
"Upright?"
"At the very least, he wouldn’t promise to spare someone’s life only to cripple their martial arts and cut out their tongue afterward."
Su Chengyu fell silent immediately, realizing with dismay that everything he had done earlier outside had been within the Green Hillock Empress’s view.
"Don’t worry," she reassured him. "I don’t know how your grandfather would’ve felt, but I don’t mind. From my perspective, even if you’d gone back on your word and killed him, it wouldn’t have been unjustified. After all, he was the one who tried to kill you first."
"Grandma..."
Su Chengyu was a bit perplexed as to why the Green Hillock Empress was sharing this with him. Raising his head, he saw her gentle, smiling face as she spoke slowly.
"I’m telling you this because I want you to understand—you are not Linyuan. Whatever you want to do and however you want to do it, it’s all up to you. Even though Linyuan brought you into this world, your life is ultimately your own. The path you walk and where it leads—all of it should be decided by you alone."
Su Chengyu clenched his fists silently, beginning to understand the underlying message in the Green Hillock Empress’s earlier words. After taking a deep breath, he finally summoned the courage to ask the question buried in his heart for so long.
"Then... are you and Grandpa still alive?"
However, in response to Su Chengyu’s most crucial question, the Green Hillock Empress merely smiled bitterly and shook her head slowly.
"I don’t know if my original body is still alive, but as for your grandfather... it’s highly likely that he’s truly gone."
Su Chengyu’s heart tightened as the image of Yang Chengyin once again surfaced in his mind. He blurted out instinctively, "So it really was Yang Chengyin who drove Grandpa to his death?"
"Him? Is he even worthy?"
