Chapter 783

"Then should I go and probe Grandma Kallen's attitude for you?"

Grandma Kallen?!

Otto was instantly invigorated. Otto felt that he hadn't spoiled Theresa for nothing all these years.

Just this one word, "Grandma," was enough to keep Otto excited for several months.

"Hmm... I'll leave it to you, Theresa. If she doesn't want to see me..."

Otto sighed, standing silently in place while gazing at Himeko's cave dwelling, saying nothing more.

"Really! Grandfather, you're just being too cautious!"

Theresa said helplessly:

"Grandma Kallen has been resurrected after five hundred years; she has no familiar people left around her, only you, Grandfather."

"Even if you are a bastard, Grandfather, and have done many things that disappointed Grandma Kallen, she only has you, an old friend, now."

Otto nodded with a complex look in his eyes.

"I understand, but..."

This was a hurdle in Otto's own heart; no one else could help him cross it.

Theresa shook her head and did not try to persuade him further.

She walked straight into Himeko's cave dwelling.

Besides Kallen, there was also Immortal Fu Hua; Kiana and the others were already waiting inside.

After learning of Immortal Fu Hua's identity, Theresa naturally wanted to let Immortal Fu Hua know about cultivation as soon as possible; she would definitely be a powerhouse no weaker than Kevin.

Perhaps even stronger in cultivation.

After all, Immortal Fu Hua's realm was right there.

Otto stood at the entrance, not even blinking, staring intently at Himeko's cave dwelling.

Even at this distance of just a few steps, he could already imagine the person he had been yearning for for five hundred years waking up inside.

But he dared not approach; only Kallen could make Otto feel cowardly.

"Why not go and take a look?"

Suddenly, a calm voice came from behind him.

Otto looked back and said softly:

"Elder Kevin... forget it. I, a sinner, am not qualified to see her."

"You are troubling yourself for nothing..."

Kevin shook his head and walked toward Himeko's cave dwelling.

"Is Elder Kevin going to see Immortal Fu Hua?"

"Hmm..."

Kevin paused slightly and said softly:

"Hua was a powerhouse no weaker than me in the previous civilization. After fifty thousand years, her state of mind and cultivation realm might even be higher than mine."

"If she cultivates, the foundation of Shushan and the Honkai world will be even stronger. Perhaps Shushan will gain another Elder."

"I have consulted with Sect Leader Seeing Zhongli; as inner disciples and Elders, we are qualified to recommend geniuses directly to the Sect Master."

"When the Sect Master comes out of seclusion, I will introduce Hua to him."

Hearing this, Otto nodded in a distracted manner and watched Kevin enter the cave dwelling.

Calculating the time, Kallen should be awake by now.

Theresa and the others might be explaining the situation to Kallen.

I wonder if they mentioned him...

He didn't see Kallen the moment she woke up; Otto felt this was a lifelong regret, but...

He really didn't dare.

Otto, who dared to scheme against the Imaginary Tree even when he was a mortal, showed cowardice at this moment.

It was truly something that made one sigh.

Otto stood at the entrance, gazing at the deep portal of the cave dwelling, his mind filled with unknown thoughts.

He stood there for an entire day, until evening.

Kevin came out of the cave dwelling with a calm expression, though when he looked at Otto, he seemed somewhat moved.

This made Otto feel a bit panicked.

Not long after, Theresa also walked out, looking at Otto with a strange expression.

"Theresa... what's wrong?"

"Nothing, Grandfather..."

Theresa pursed her lips and added:

"I told Grandma Kallen about you, and she knows you're waiting outside. She asked me to come out and tell you something."

Otto felt nervous, clenched his fists, and said in a low voice:

"What?"

Theresa coughed, paused for a moment, and then mimicked Kallen's tone.

"Tell that bastard Otto to roll in here!"

510. Kallen: This slap is for Theresa!

Hearing Theresa say this, Otto's face turned green.

He understood that if Kallen weren't extremely angry, she would never say such things.

At this moment, Otto's legs suddenly felt weak.

But thinking that it was Kallen who told him to go in, and wanting to see her, he finally gritted his teeth and walked toward Himeko's cave dwelling.

Just as he stood at the entrance, he suddenly asked a follow-up question.

"Theresa, what did you tell Kallen?"

Theresa guiltily turned her head away and muttered:

"I didn't say anything, and Grandma Kallen wouldn't let me say anything either. She was afraid I would shield you. It was Kiana who said it."

"Kiana..."

Otto gave a bitter smile, prepared for the worst.

He understood how much that girl Kiana hated him; it was already good that she didn't add fuel to the fire, let alone expect her to be tactful.

That was truly wishful thinking.

In the past, Otto could have thought of a dozen solutions in a minute.

But now...

His mind was too chaotic.

Even knowing what he would face upon entering, he couldn't help but want to see Kallen.

"It should be fine, Grandfather. I think Grandma Kallen has a pretty good personality."

Theresa scratched her cheek and looked at Otto with confusion.

The latter sighed.

"Most of the time, Kallen is very gentle, although... sometimes she can be a bit playful."

"Otherwise, how could she have become a Saint? But when it comes to this kind of matter, Kallen will absolutely..."

Otto didn't say anything more; he took a deep breath and resolutely stepped into Himeko's cave dwelling.

The scene before him blurred slightly; this moment felt incredibly long to Otto.

It was so long that he recalled everything from the past five hundred years.

When he was inside Himeko's cave dwelling and saw the silhouette he hadn't seen in five hundred years...

He didn't know if his "Kallen filter" had activated, but Otto could see her hazy yet incredibly holy and radiant soul light.

Just one glance made Otto feel ashamed of himself; he felt like a rat in the sewer that had suddenly seen the light.

Otto had been fantasizing about what to say and do after meeting Kallen.

Later, in his long life, Otto had done too many wrong things.

So much so that in the end, he understood he was no longer qualified to stand by Kallen's side as he once had.

Now, everything had changed.

She was still as pure and holy as she had been five hundred years ago, her smile incredibly pure, warming everyone who had ever seen her.
