Chapter 903: Chapter 436 The Truth Behind "Fool" Game

After receiving the message from Mu You, Fuya, who was out shopping with Little Ya, hurried back to the pet store.

"You said my ancestor has come? Where are they?" Fuya rushed into the store like a gust of wind and urgently asked Mu You, who was waiting for her at the front desk.

Mu You looked up and saw Fuya dressed in light summer clothing, apparently having been halfway through getting her hair done, still with multi-colored hair clips on top of her head.

It was hard to imagine that just a week ago, she was a dusty street waif from another world, a young lady of a storied house. Now, however, she appeared to have completely assimilated into urban life.

"This way."

Mu You led her into the living room and brought her in front of the old man who had entered the store just before.

"This is the descendant of the Chris family you were looking for," Mu You introduced to the old man sitting at the dining table.

Then he turned back to Fuya: "This gentleman, is your ancestor."

"Ancestor..."

Fuya looked blankly at the white-haired old man in front of her, momentarily at a loss.

This was completely beyond her expectations. Fuya had assumed that an ancestor from a magic lineage, in a world without magic, must be thriving, if not immensely wealthy, then at least living comfortably. Perhaps even having started a new family here, with descendants all around.

Yet, to her surprise, the so-called ancestor was now so aged... and simple. His attire looked like that of a lone elder who had just emerged from a poor mountainous area.

At this moment, the old man was also looking up at Fuya. After a few glances, he nodded and smiled, "Indeed, she is a child of my Chris house..."

"Child, how is the Chris family doing now, which generation’s child are you? Who is your father?" the old man asked gently with a smile toward Fuya.

"Ah... The Chris family has now moved to the Imperial Capital of the Lan Ai’er Empire. I am from the seventeenth generation of the family. My father is Chris·Swenborn·Joseph, currently serving as an Earl in the Lan Ai’er Empire..." Fuya quickly recounted her family’s situation.

"Joseph, ah..."

At the mention of this name, the old man became quite emotional, "The child who hadn’t been born back then, now has a daughter this grown..."

After reflecting for a moment, the old man looked up again at Fuya and said with a smile, "By that account, you must be my great-granddaughter."

"Ah... so you are my... great-grandmother?" Fuya asked with some uncertainty.

"Good child." The old woman nodded with a smile in response to Fuya’s question, her gaze filled with affection, "It’s just a pity that I didn’t manage to save any assets in the Forgotten Land, and I’m afraid I can’t offer you much help..."

As she spoke, the old woman reached shakily into her bag, rummaged around for a moment, and pulled out a handful of crumpled banknotes, including hundreds, fifties, twenties, and even a few smaller denominations.

Clutching the money, she pushed it into the stunned Fuya’s hand: "Child, take this and use it for now..."

Fuya stared at the assorted bills in her hand, suddenly feeling her nose tingle and her eyes moisten.

She had not imagined that her ancestor would be living so miserably on Earth. From the old woman’s actions, these few bills were probably all she had...

Looking at the old woman’s frail and emaciated form, who clearly had no one to take care of her and likely lived in poverty from meal to meal, Fuya felt even worse, knowing that her curiosity alone had activated the jade stone and caused the elderly lady to travel all the way with her luggage to the city, just to bring her money...

"What’s wrong, child, is it not enough? Don’t worry, I have more here..."

Seeing Fuya clutching the money with tears welling up, the old woman hurriedly opened her bag wider, revealing bottles and jars inside.

"These are magic artifacts I brought over from the Star Spirit World when I came. Although the magic power inside is almost depleted due to the passage of time, and they’re not as valuable as before, you can still sell them as antiques for some money..."

"Ah..."

Fuya was taken aback again upon seeing the full bag of jars and bottles.

She had basic discerning ability; most of these were ancient noble magic ornaments with little practical use. But if sold as antiques, they might fetch even higher prices than before — each piece could go for a seven-figure sum at auction!

"Great-grandmother, if you have these items, why not sell them yourself?" Fuya asked, puzzled. These things, if sold, would surely allow her to live a quite wealthy life here.

After hearing this, the old woman gave a wry smile and shook her head. "Silly child, I came here in the first place to escape the strife. These items could be sold for money, but they would also reveal my identity and drag me back into those messy affairs. I’ve been hiding them desperately. When I arrived in the Forgotten Land a thousand years ago, the first thing I did was bury them all underground. If it weren’t for my descendant in trouble seeking me out, I wouldn’t have dug them up..."

Fuya felt even more guilty after hearing this.

"I’m sorry, great-grandmother, I didn’t activate the jade stone because I was desperate. I was just curious to see my ancestor, so..." Fuya said, her face reddening as she looked down.

Far from being desperate, with Mu You lending her money and Little Ya and others taking care of her and managing everything, her life here was nothing short of a pleasure!
