Chapter 105: Saving the Innocent Little Kitten 26

Hello, Grandfather! Hello, Grandmother! Hello, Father!

Yun Mi today changed into an especially lively light-blue outfit.

Her silver hair was tied up, she wore a pure white T-shirt with blue overalls, and a blue wristband on her wrist, looking very cute.

Following behind Jin Chen as he entered, he saw the three elders sitting on the sofa in the reception hall and immediately greeted them sweetly.

Even his way of addressing them changed.

Oh my, how cute! Good, good, good, come sit quickly!

Grandma Jin loved it; Jin Chen, even as a child, already had the domineering aura of a CEO, always stern and unsmiling, just like his father.

Now that a cute child has finally come over, Grandma Jin happily kept calling him her good grandson, pulling Yun Mi's hand and patting it repeatedly.

Come, eat the fruit; it's all grown in the orchard, fresh as can be.

Thank you, Grandmother!

Yun Mi smiled, her eyes crinkling.

Jin Chen sat down beside him, his face also showing a smile.

Father Jin sat for a while, then after a long sigh went upstairs.

He brought down a box.

Child, come over.

Father Jin waved at Yun Mi.

Go on, your father has something to give you.

Grandma Jin recognized the box, smiling as she gave Yun Mi a push.

Father Jin opened it; on the soft cloth inside lay a bracelet.

This is your mother's; she said on her deathbed that this bracelet should be passed to the future daughter-in-law.

Father Jin's eyes reddened as he took out the bracelet, seeming to recall everything from the past.

After all these years, Xiao Chen has finally grown up, and only now am I anxious about his marriage.

Now I give this bracelet to you; you two must live well together, understand?

Father Jin's appearance is handsome and refined, resembling Jin Chen's looks, but his temperament is more mature and settled, reminding Yun Mi of the elders in the clan.

He took the bracelet and immediately put it on his wrist.

Thank you, Father! I know! I will be very happy together with Xiao Chen.

Good, good.

Father Jin also showed a smile, took off his glasses, and wiped his tears.

Yun Mi sat back beside Jin Chen; he, being highly empathetic, also had moist eyes, feeling moved.

Jin Chen gently rubbed the top of his head.

Child, Grandfather, may I have a few words with you alone?

The always stern Grandfather Jin stood up, trying to soften his expression as much as possible.

Yun Mi blinked and said, 'Okay, Grandfather.'

Jin Chen took a sip of water and said, 'Grandfather, please don't say nonsense.'

Grandfather Jin's eyes instantly turned angry, 'You little brat, what are you saying!'

Don't be angry, Grandfather; let's talk over there.

Yun Mi hurried forward to support Grandfather Jin's arm, timely stopping their bickering.

When they walked to the side hall, Grandfather Jin finally spoke.

Yun Mi, you are a cat demon; we all know that.

Before Yun Mi could react, Grandfather Jin continued speaking.

Don't worry, I won't separate you two; whether human or demon, as long as this brat likes it, it's fine.

But there is a very important factor standing between you.

Yun Mi frowned, not really understanding.

What does Grandfather mean?

Age.

Grandfather Jin spoke bluntly.

He is already close to 80, yet his posture remains straight, hands behind his back, gazing out the window with a distant look.

Child…… the lifespan of demons is much longer than that of humans, but Jin Chen will only live a few decades; in a few decades, you will still look the same while he grows old and frail.

By then, what will you two do?

Yun Mi was stunned.

He had never thought about this problem.

For a moment he paused, looking out at the garden beyond the window.

After a long while, he seemed to finally think of a solution, his cat eyes glimmering slightly.

Grandfather, I can share half of my demon core with Xiao Chen! That way our lifespans can be shared, and we can both live to a hundred years together.

Grandfather Jin looked back in surprise.

I originally thought…… to let you two separate after a few decades, although it's a bit cruel, compared to watching Xiao Chen die, this ending would be better.

Child, separating the demon core will cause you pain; that's not good.

Yun Mi shook his head, a bit stubborn.

I can't be separated from him, Grandfather; without him, I couldn't go on living.

Grandfather Jin was stunned by those words.

He vaguely remembered that years ago his daughter-in-law died in an accident, and his son had once said similar words; if it weren't for Xiao Chen, he would have probably followed them.

"Since you insist, Grandfather won't stop you, but you need to discuss it well with Xiao Chen; I'm sure he wouldn't want you to suffer."

"I will, Grandfather! Thank you."

"Forget it," Grandpa Jin pointed to the reception hall, "that brat can't wait for you and will come looking for someone again."

Let the Old Man stay here quietly.

Yun Mi nodded obediently and left the side hall.

When he returned to the reception hall, only Grandma Jin and Jin Chen remained.

"Where's Father?"

Jin Chen took his hand, "He went upstairs to the Study; he's been wanting to travel lately and is looking at guides everywhere."

Grandma Jin smoothed her shawl, smiling, "You two chat; remember to stay for dinner later."

Yun Mi nodded obediently.

Grandma Jin rose and left.

In the side hall, Grandpa Jin heard the footsteps and a smile appeared on his face.

Lately it's cold, just let the wind blow by the window; then your bones will ache.

Grandma Jin said, closing the window, her tone reproachful yet full of concern.

Aching bones—just perfect for drinking the soup you brew.

Grandpa Jin laughed heartily; his usual stern, unsmiling demeanor was always a smile in front of Grandma Jin.

He took Grandma Jin's hand and explained his chat with Yun Mi.

Grandma Jin listened and said, "That child is thoughtful, cute and obedient—perfect for Xiao Chen."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; we shouldn't worry too much. Ah Zheng is going on a trip tomorrow—it's also a way of emerging from the earlier gloom."

"Everything will only get better."

"Yeah," Grandpa Jin sighed, his tone light.

——

After staying a whole day at the old residence, that night after finishing dinner and returning home, Yun Mi told Jin Chen her idea.

She repeatedly emphasized it was her own idea, not Grandpa Jin's intention.

Jin Chen frowned slightly, somewhat disagreeing.

"Bao Bao, separating the monster core will be very painful."

"I know, but I want to be with Ah Chen for a long, long time."

Yun Mi pouted, snuggling into his arms and acting coquettishly.

"Ah Chen, will you promise me?"

Jin Chen lowered his eyes in thought.

Originally his plan was to use Spiritual Power to maintain his appearance and lifespan decades later; although it would consume a lot, it would have no side effects.

But explaining that to others would ultimately be problematic.

【Host, you can exchange points for pain-relieving pills to cancel all the monster's pain.】

0731 appeared in time.

【Exchange!】

The stone in Jin Chen's heart finally fell.

【Ding! Pain-relieving pill exchanged for Host, points -100, remaining 2300!】

The medicine bottle appeared in his pocket; Jin Chen thought and said, "Bao Bao, wait a few days I'll ask friends for some painkillers, then you can proceed with separating the monster core, okay?"

"Okay!"

Seeing Jin Chen finally agree, what could Yun Mi not wait for?

A few days later, Jin Chen gave the pain-relieving pill to Yun Mi to take.

The process of separating the monster core isn't overly complicated, though sitting in meditation for half an hour requires the two to practice dual cultivation, and they ended up making a fuss all night.

From that night on, Yun Mi's Heartbeat Value reached 100%.

The two shared their lifespan, held a wedding, hung it online for a whole month, and fans jokingly called it a monumental wedding fit for little monsters.

Later, the two lived in many cities, also encountered many kind monsters, and Yun Mi happily made friends with them.

In this life, Yun Mi lived very happily.

【Congratulations, Host completed the mission, gained 500 points, total now 2800!】
