Chapter 1792 The Dream of the Water Spirit Orb
"Mother," Ruan Yu called softly, her voice hoarse.
That one cry of "Mother" broke the old woman's heart.
"Sigh!" she responded, then burst into tears.
Ana and Ata couldn't help but tear up, and in an instant, the whole house was filled with the joy of their long-awaited reunion.
Everyone except the old woman knew that this joy would be short-lived.
"Mother, I'm back." Once the old woman had calmed down a bit, Ruan Yu asked, "How did you..."
"I missed you so much that I did such a foolish thing," the old woman said, then looked at Ana and reached out her hand.
Ana quickly reached out her hand.
"And then there's Ana. Ana is a good girl. After you left, she took good care of me, but I'm just a paralyzed cripple! Ana has to clean up my excrement and urinate for me every day. I... I'd rather be dead than alive!"
"Mother! You can't die!" Ana cried uncontrollably.
She had long regarded the old woman as her own mother.
"Oh, Mother won't die! Mother's strength has returned! Mother can't bear to die!" The old woman smiled happily.
The tear stains on her face were still wet.
But Ana couldn't laugh.
She dared not imagine how heartbroken her mother would be if she knew the person before her was not Juli…
"Mother, these are pills I brought back from the human realm. Taking them will restore your health." Ruan Yu took out the pills.
The old woman ate it without asking any questions.
Even if Ruan Yu were to give her poison, she would willingly eat it.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!" After the pill was swallowed, a warm current spread throughout his body.
The old woman comfortably closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Ruan Yu carried her to the bed, Ata went out, and Ana began to clean the old woman's body of dirt.
Once she was sure the old woman was really asleep, Ana asked softly, "My benefactor, can Mother... really recover?"
"You've recovered too, haven't you?" Ruan Yu's words greatly comforted Ana.
Yes, my benefactor is so amazing. He was able to heal my broken body and make me feel like a normal person again.
She shouldn't have doubted her benefactor's abilities.
The old woman was asleep, making it difficult to administer the medicine. Ruan Yu crushed the beauty pill, mixed it with water, kneaded it into a paste, and then applied it to the old woman's face.
"What is this?" Ana asked curiously as she finished washing the old woman's body and saw Ruan Yu's actions.
"You can use it as a beauty cream."
Ana was well aware of the beauty cream's effects, but her mother was already like this...
“I will have to leave eventually. She has lost the will to live, so let’s find another way to ignite her desire to live,” Ruan Yu said.
After applying the ointment to the old woman's entire face, Ruan Yu waited for it to solidify before peeling it off.
The old woman's wrinkled face suddenly became smooth, like a peeled egg.
They're so tender, you could almost squeeze water out of them.
Her skin tone has brightened several shades, and she looks even younger than Ana.
What an amazing beauty cream!
The giants also have many kinds of beauty creams, but none of them can compare to Ruan Yu's beauty cream!
"Here, take this." Seeing that Ana also wanted it, Ruan Yu gave her a whole bottle of beauty pills.
"No, no, no, I can't accept it." Ana was too embarrassed to take it: "You've already helped me so much."
"Really not?"
“…Thank you so much, my benefactor.” Ana shyly put away the pills.
No woman can resist such temptation.
So does she.
Ana herself didn't realize that her withered heart seemed to have come back to life.
Inside the space, the Water Spirit Pearl absorbed all the water essence that Ruan Yu had obtained from the Heavenly Spirit Clan.
He finally woke up: "Master."
"I had a very long dream."
"What dream?" Ruan Yu asked.
“I dreamt that the giants were invaded by foreign races, and everyone died, including my master who was seriously injured.”
Ruan Yu's right eyelid twitched. "Continue."
She communicated with the Water Spirit Orb through her thoughts, and her body moved accordingly, walking out of the room.
“God…” Ata called out instinctively when he saw her. But then he realized that Ruan Yu didn’t like him calling her that, so he stopped talking.
“My name is Ruan Yu.” Ruan Yu glanced at him.
He then flashed into the space.
"Do you know which race of foreign invaders is invading the giants?"
Shui Lingzhu hesitated.
Ruan Yu pressed, "Speak."
"It's...it's the Celestial Spirit Clan."
"Are you sure?" Ruan Yu's heart skipped a beat.
“I’m sure, I saw the patriarch of the Heavenly Spirit Clan, Zang Xu.” The Water Spirit Pearl bounced up and down in front of her twice. “But Master, this is just a dream, don’t take it seriously.”
Ruan Yu: "Do you really think this is all a dream?"
Water Spirit Pearl wouldn't have such a dream for no reason.
Moreover, she also had a strong, uneasy premonition.
"I have to go back to the Celestial Spirit Clan." Regardless of whether the dream will come true, it's always good to go ahead in advance, just in case.
"Mmm." Water Spirit Pearl agreed and then went back to rest.
It has only replenished less than one percent of its original water source, and is very weak.
I feel weak all over after saying just a few words.
Emerging from the space, Ruan Yu saw that Ata's expression had become solemn and respectful, and she couldn't help but find it amusing: "Tell me, what exactly did that woman who looks exactly like me do that made you call her a goddess?"
After thinking about it, Ata decided to tell Ruan Yu.
"When foreign tribes invaded and our people were brutally slaughtered, a goddess descended from the heavens and slew all the foreign tribes with her sword!"
"I see."
“Although you may not believe what I’m saying, I can confirm with 100% certainty that you are the goddess!” Ata’s eyes shone brightly.
"If you still don't believe me, you can come with me to a place."
"I won't go for now." Ruan Yu's mind was completely occupied with the dream about the Water Spirit Orb, and she had no time to think about anything else.
“I have to go,” she said.
Ata's heart tightened: "So fast?"
Ana heard the noise and ran out of the room: "My benefactor, will you come back?"
"do not know."
“…I’ll take you.” Ana was extremely reluctant to part with him. It wasn’t just that she was reluctant to part with the “giant” body, but even more so that she was reluctant to separate from Ruan Yu.
She was like the backbone of their family; the moment she appeared, their precarious little family became indestructible.
Ruan Yu did not refuse.
Ana remained silent throughout the journey. Ata followed behind them, also without uttering a word.
The air was filled with the somber atmosphere of parting.
Only when they reached the exit of the barrier did Ana muster the courage to ask, "Can I hug you?"
“Of course.” Ruan Yu opened her arms.
Ana bit her lip and threw herself into her arms. This embrace was a farewell to her lover.
It is also a time to welcome new life.
Goodbye, my benefactor.
"Goodbye." Ruan Yu stepped out of the barrier. Little did she know that when she left, the next time she saw Ana and the others, they would be corpses.
