After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

But now, fear has appeared in the eyes of this "wolf cub".

"How did my fearless granddaughter become so timid and cowardly?"

The old man smiled, a smile that was both kind and slightly teasing. "You weren't like this before."

"do you remember?"

“When you were little, you insisted on learning to ride a horse, but your father wouldn’t let you. So you secretly went to the horse farm and fell off the horse three times, but you didn’t cry once.”

Listening to Grandpa recount his past.

Su Yunshang lowered her head and remained silent.

"Later, when you grew up, you wanted to go into business," the old man continued. "Those old foxes wanted to squeeze you out, but you single-handedly made Yuntian Group the industry leader."

“Back then, even your grandfather was proud of you.”

He stood up, walked up to Su Yunshang, and looked into her eyes.

“My granddaughter has never submitted to anyone.”

"But now, how can you so highly approve of a young man? Even..."

He paused for a moment. He had found out and seen how much his granddaughter cared about this young man named Xu Ze.

"Even fear?"

Faced with the question from her closest person, Su Yunshang didn't know how to answer.

Outside the window, a golden ray of light appeared on the horizon.

The sun is about to rise.

Those skyscrapers, those crisscrossing streets... all of them seemed so small in the morning light.

"Grandpa," she finally spoke, her voice a little hoarse.

"Ok?"

“I don’t approve of him.” She looked up and into the old man’s eyes.

"what is that?"

Su Yunshang opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found herself unable to find the right words.

She recalled the scene when she first met Xu Ze.

With a single sword strike, his life, his cultivation, and everything he had worked so hard to achieve vanished into nothingness.

He is not strong.

It's not horror, it's terror.

It was so terrifying that it utterly suffocated anyone who dared to resist.

It wasn't because of what he did, but because he just stood there doing nothing, yet he exuded a sense of oppression that emanated from his very bones.

She had never experienced that feeling in the business world, nor in the world at all.

I only experienced that feeling in that world of cultivation, only when facing Xu Ze.

“Grandpa,” her voice suddenly became firm, “you must believe me.”

The old man looked at her.

He looked at the seriousness in her eyes, and at the hint of awe he had never seen before.

He suddenly laughed.

“You silly girl,” the old man reached out and patted Su Yunshang’s shoulder, “how do you know that Grandpa doesn’t believe you?”

Faced with this sudden change, Su Yunshang was stunned.

She had thought she would only be questioned today.

"You think Grandpa's gotten senile?" The old man shook his head with a smile. "You think Grandpa doesn't know what you're doing?"

"Although Grandpa doesn't understand games and such."

"But this is a very important matter concerning the survival of the world and humanity."

He turned around, walked back to the mahogany chair, sat down, and picked up the cup of tea that had gone cold again.

"The children of the Su family never do anything they are not sure of."

"You must have your reasons for trusting him so much."

He looked up at Su Yunshang.

"This time, Grandpa will listen to you completely."

"Grandpa will do everything in his power to support him."

Su Yunshang looked at her grandfather, at the loving smile on his aged yet wise face, and her eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

She turned her head away and looked out the window.

The sun had already peeked out from the horizon.

Golden sunlight bathed the city, casting a warm glow over everything.

"Thank you."

……

After the familiar feeling of shuttling through things ended.

Xu Ze opened his eyes.

He was lying on a soft patch of grass.

Beneath me lay a thick meadow, exuding the scent of earth and grass.

The sky was very blue, a pure blue, without a single cloud.

The sunlight streamed down from above, warm and comforting, with a soothing quality that made one feel drowsy.

This place, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, is peaceful and serene.

It's exactly the same as his hometown in the southern part of the continent.

"This is called the 'Wilderness Demon Realm'??"

Xu Ze sat up and looked around.

These familiar scenes stirred a strange feeling within him.

Shouldn't this place be teeming with monsters or fraught with danger?

Why does it look like a paradise?

He looked down at himself; he was still wearing a simple blue robe, and the Zhan Yan sword was still there, wrapped tightly in a white cloth.

[Current Location: Dongsheng Shenzhou, Aoqu Kingdom.]

A system notification sounded in my mind.

As always, mechanical; as always, clear.

[Current instance: Savage Demon Realm.]

[Prerequisite for achieving perfect completion: How to Train Your Dragon.]

Xu Ze stared at those four words for a long time.

How to Train Your Dragon?

What do you mean?

He waited a moment, but the system offered no further explanation.

There were no task instructions, no objectives, and no clues.

Only these four words, coldly suspended in my consciousness.

Xu Ze stood up and patted the grass clippings off his clothes.

It was very quiet around us, almost unnaturally quiet.

There were no birdsong, no insect chirps, no human voices, only the rustling of the wind through the treetops and the murmuring of the river in the distance.

"call out--"

Just then, a pebble flew from behind.

Xu Ze didn't turn around. He just turned slightly to the side, and the pebble flew past his clothes, landed on the ground, rolled a few times, and stopped next to a clump of wildflowers.

Another pebble flew by.

This time, Xu Ze reached out and gently pinched the pebble between two fingers.

The pebbles were small, round and smooth, as if they had been picked up from the river.

He turned around and looked in the direction the pebble had come from.

A small head peeked out from behind a big tree.

It was a little boy, about seven or eight years old, with tanned skin, big, round eyes, and a messy bird's nest on his head.

"You caught it?"

When the other person saw Xu Ze catch the pebble, they were taken aback at first, then retreated behind the tree and made some rustling noises.

Xu Ze didn't move; he just stood there, looking at the tree.

A moment later, the little head popped out again.

This time, he had a slingshot in his hand, which he was aiming at Xu Ze.

"Hmph, let's see how you respond this time..."

His expression was serious, his lips were pursed tightly, and his eyes were narrowed into slits, like a little hunter.

Xu Ze found it somewhat amusing.

With a thought, a wisp of his divine consciousness silently emerged and gently brushed against the slingshot.

In an instant, the slingshot's rubber band snapped, and the projectile fell to the ground with a "thud."
