Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The young lady in the picture was stunningly beautiful. According to Great-Grandma, she was akin to a goddess. In the past, if she wasn’t hidden at home, she would inevitably have been sent to the palaces.

Li Xianyu sneered, “My dad, being like that, doesn’t need anyone to snatch him. He can go into the palace himself and be the emperor’s father.

When they were younger, their parents brought them to the temple to burn incense. His superstitious mother got divination lots for each of her children. However, she was still unsatisfied. When they descended the mountains, they saw some fortune tellers by the roadside. Hence, she used her own money to engage the fortune teller to read her children’s fortunes.

Presently, Li Xianyu had forgotten what he was told. However, he still remembered his sister’s fate vividly.

Then, the fortune teller analyzed his sister’s Eight Characters, her face, as well as her palms. He was shocked as he knelt down on the ground and chanted, “Long live the Empress Dowager!”

The passers-by along the crowded roadside stared at them. Each member of the family of four had contrasting emotions. His parents were unbelievably elated; his sister was unmoved, while Li Xianyu covered his face, humiliated, wishing that he could bury himself in a hole that instant.

In this era, fortune tellers had set a whole new standard of shamelessness. Their words were the same as those of Great-Grandma’s, who had self-proclaimed to be living an empress’s life. Based on her looks alone, she was destined to live a great life. It wasn’t exaggerated, but only her Eight Characters weren’t that good.

Li Xianyu had said something in spite, “Good figure, but a shitty life?”

After that, he was lectured by his sister for two whole months.

....

It was late at night by the time they got home. Great-Grandma had developed an addiction to games; she was unable to sleep unless she had played a few rounds. Li Xianyu laid on the sofa as he browsed the demon descendants’ chat. It was typical, no words of value were spoken as the elders gossiped about indecent topics.

King Kong was still complaining about how Long Aotian had not woken, despite begging him profusely.

Looks like even demon descendants were bound tightly by the laws.

This guy who was afraid of women, ha... Suddenly, as he thought about his hereditary kidney condition, the smile on his face disappeared.

His other colleagues were preoccupied with missions, and were only able to occasionally log on to talk a few words. It was the same few people talking in the chat, the others did not reveal themselves.

The Lady Killer had entered a virtual world, rendering him unable to communicate. After swiping for a long while, Li Xianyu found a video from Tongtong, the loli.

Tongtong: “I went to the big boss’s house as a guest today. His daughter is so cute. I made a video!”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady: “Send it here!”

Fire God: “That’s his god granddaughter. Of course she’s cute.”

File Manager Mo Fei: “Tongtong, you’re at his house so often. Why not just be his goddaughter?”

After reading the chat messages, Li Xianyu opened the video.

The background was that of a poshly decorated living room. A small lass, dressed in white, sat on the sofa obediently. She looked about four or five years old. Her eyes were big, while her face looked fair and chubby.

“Sister Tongtong, let me sing one song for you,” she said in a cute voice. “My mum taught me this.”

“Okay,” another crisp voice sounded out. The voice sounded neither young nor old.

The young lass proceeded to sing, “What colour is a green hat? The colour of a baby, followed by the colour of a handkerchief. Handkerchief, handkerchief, followed by the colour of a baby.”

Her pronunciation was not accurate, but her young voice sounded nice. That was the end of the video.

Li Xianyu went out of the group chat and switched to the news tab, where the following message caught his attention.

#Alert! The Great Deities Palace is about to open! The demon descendants community will welcome an era of chaos again!#

“After 20 years, the Great Deities Palace has reappeared again. As known to everyone, this palace was left behind by the ancient demon descendants. It is known that limitless powers are stored inside, left behind by rare ancient demon descendants. Whoever inherits their items will rule the world. 80 years ago, the Forgotten Demon stumbled inside and awakened the various deities. He was invincible. 20 years ago, Li Wuxiang, the descendants of the Li family’s war spirits, found this place after much effort, curing his hereditary kidney condition and breaking free of the curse. He went on a rampage, leaving behind sparks wherever he went. Presently, the palace is about to open again. Who knows, the next miracle might be you!”

Great Deities Palace. Great Deities Palace again?

As Great-Grandma finished talking about this topic, the app had flashed out the same topic. Li Xianyu felt a bad premonition.

Li Xianyu sat up and called out, “Great-Grandma, the Great Deities Palace is about to open again.”

The clicking sounds of the mouse suddenly stopped. Great-Grandma was silent as her back faced him, until the character she was playing was suddenly shot in the head. “How do you know?”

Li Xianyu walked to her side and put his phone in front of her. The light lit up her eyes, making stars appear under her long lashes.

“My dad died because of it. Now, it’s about to reopen. What kind of place is that?”

“An inauspicious place.”

“An inauspicious place?”

“Yes, those who entered that place had tragic fates,” Great-Grandma remarked. “It is the only place worthy of the demon descendants’ attention up till today. People said that that place was a burial site for the demon descendants, while others said that it was an ancient demon descendant’s home long ago, for it to store its treasures. No one knows where it is. It’s only known that it opens at periodic times. However, the interval is unfixed. Whoever is able to enter there will inherit the treasures there. After the Second Opium War, the court summoned the demons from all over the world to find this place, but none of them succeeded. If it was found back then, history would definitely have been rewritten.”

“That place was so hard to find, but my dad found it?”

“If the doors were to reopen, those with an affinity would be able to find it. Otherwise, even if you flipped the entire world around, you wouldn’t find it.”

“What about you?” Li Xianyu stared at her dead in the eye. “Do you know where it is?”

Great-Grandma shook her head. “Your dad didn’t bring me there. He wasn’t confident of making it back alive. My powers had not been unsealed. If I went there, I would most likely have been buried inside forever. He told me that since he had a child already, I was to take care of you if he did not make it back. He told me to groom you.”

Li Xianyu was suddenly moved. “So, my dad’s kidney condition was cured?”

Great-Grandma nodded and said yes.

After a long while of silence, he finally asked the question that he had been wanting to for a long time. “That year, did my dad... Acquire something?”

Great-Grandma looked at him and replied, “If I told you I didn’t know anything, would you believe it?”

Li Xianyu shook his head.

Great-Grandma smiled coldly. “Yes, they didn’t believe me either. Hence, I sealed myself in there for 20 years.”

She said in a deep voice, “Li Xianyu, don’t ask anything. You don’t need to know anything.”

Li Xianyu had never seen her so stern and serious before. His mood sank as he nodded subconsciously.

After she finished her words, she did not continue with her game. She got up slowly, and returned to her room.
