CHAPTER 192: CHAPTER 161: UNDYING WORSHIP! (TWO IN ONE, 2/5)_1

After listening to Liu Yiyi’s explanation, Liu Yuanzong recalled his illness.

"What illness did I have?"

"It’s a very difficult illness to cure. Thankfully, Mo managed to get the Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine, which is why you woke up so quickly."

"The Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine?"

Liu Yuanzong had heard of it before. He had even looked up its price out of curiosity. On the Heavenly Trade Market, items like that sold for billions.

"The Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine is so expensive! Where did Mo get his hands on it?"

Faced with Liu Yuanzong’s puzzled expression, the three of them quickly explained the whole story to him.

After hearing everything, Liu Yuanzong was stunned for a long time, unable to process it all.

How had his family’s assets reached billions by the time he woke up from his illness?

It was too outrageous!

"Oh, right! Now that you’ve recovered, I need to go get a refund for the remaining treatment fees," Qiu Yuehong suddenly remembered. She recalled that Chen Mo had paid all the treatment fees in advance. It amounted to tens of millions, which wasn’t a small sum, so a portion definitely needed to be refunded.

With that, Qiu Yuehong entrusted Liu Yuanzong to Chen Mo’s care and hurried out of the room, moving with surprising speed.

Watching her retreating figure, a nostalgic look appeared in Liu Yuanzong’s eyes. He was reminded of the days when they lived together in their youth.

Watching his grandmother dash out, Chen Mo turned to his grandfather and asked, "By the way, Grandpa, now that you’ve recovered from your illness, do you feel any discomfort?"

Liu Yuanzong took a moment to assess his condition. He felt refreshed and invigorated, perhaps even healthier than before he had fallen ill.

"Nothing at all. I feel full of beans!" He laughed, hopped off the bed, and moved around a bit.

"Dad, you’ve only just recovered! Don’t jump around. You should rest for one more night," Liu Yiyi said, concerned, as she quickly helped him back onto the bed.

Feeling his daughter’s concern, which he hadn’t experienced in a long time, Liu Yuanzong was very happy and touched. He obediently lay back down.

"Oh, right, Grandpa, did your lifespan take any damage?"

Liu Yuanzong immediately checked himself. "Fortunately, not much. Just one year less."

Hearing this, Chen Mo immediately took three items out of his bag.

"Grandpa, this is a Life-Lengthening Fruit. Eating it will increase your lifespan by three years. The other two are an Age-Preserving Holy Fruit and a Resurrection Cross."

"Eat the Age-Preserving Holy Fruit, and you’ll become as young as Grandma. As for the Resurrection Cross, just keep it in your bag for emergencies, just in case."

"How do you still have so many valuable items?" Liu Yuanzong looked at Chen Mo in disbelief.

Although Liu Yuanzong hadn’t participated in the joint examination himself, he had heard about its difficulty and mortality rate. He was already overjoyed that his grandson had returned safely; he hadn’t expected him to gain such a great Harvest from the examination instance. It was truly hard for him to believe.

"It was mainly good luck this time. A friend, who’s a five-star initial professional, teamed up with me, and that’s how I managed to get so much," Chen Mo explained.

As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, Liu Yiyi immediately chimed in, "And she’s a girl from his school, you know."

Hearing this, Liu Yuanzong burst out laughing. "It seems our Mo is quite something, able to make friends with such a nice girl! When are you going to bring her home for Grandpa to see?"

Chen Mo was momentarily speechless. "It’s not like that, Grandpa. We’re just ordinary friends."

"Well, didn’t your grandma and I start as ordinary friends?" his grandfather said, giving Chen Mo a knowing look.

Chen Mo gave a helpless smile and rephrased, "Really, we’re just good friends, that’s all."

"Never mind if you were or weren’t before. If you put in some effort in the future, then you’ll find out, won’t you?" his grandfather said with a grin.

Liu Yiyi also chimed in with a laugh, "But that girl is a five-star initial professional. I’m just worried she might not take a liking to our Mo."

"What’s wrong with that? A man has to pursue what he wants. Girls like to be coaxed. Since you’re from the same school, it means your backgrounds are probably similar. The difficulty isn’t that high. Mo, you have to give it a shot!"

"Grandpa, perhaps you should eat the fruits first," Chen Mo said. He found that there was nothing else he particularly feared from his elders, except when they started discussing these kinds of topics. A group of relatives had already made a fuss about this before. Now that his grandfather was awake, he was bringing it up again. Chen Mo, being naturally shy and easily embarrassed, dreaded these conversations the most. He quickly tried to change the subject.

Liu Yuanzong looked at the two fruits in front of him. "These are worth a fortune," he murmured. Like Liu Yiyi and Qiu Yuehong, he felt a bit hesitant to eat them.

However, with Chen Mo’s encouragement, he ate both fruits.

Soon, his appearance began to change. He now looked to be about thirty years old, similar to Qiu Yuehong’s youthful age. He certainly looked quite handsome and dashing.

"Well? How do I look? Am I a good match for your mother now?" After eating the Age-Preserving Holy Fruit, he immediately touched his face and asked Liu Yiyi.

Liu Yiyi laughed and replied, "A very good match! You look even better together than in your wedding photos."

Not long after, Qiu Yuehong returned.

"Old man—" She was about to call him ’old man’ out of habit, but when she saw Liu Yuanzong’s current appearance, she couldn’t help but laugh. "I suppose it’s not quite right to call you ’old man’ anymore."

Liu Yuanzong chuckled. "And you’re no longer an ’old woman’ either."

Seeing the good atmosphere between the two, Liu Yiyi quietly led Chen Mo out of the room.

"Mom, Dad has just recovered. Let’s have him rest in the hospital for one more night, and we can go home tomorrow. I’ll take Mo out for a late-night snack, and we can bring some back for you and Dad later."

"Alright. Come back early."

Outside the hospital, at a late-night snack stall, Liu Yiyi smiled at Chen Mo and said, "Mo, this time, it was truly all thanks to you. We, as your elders, couldn’t help much, and instead, when something happened, we ended up relying on you. It really is..."
