It turns out I'm a second-generation demon.

When Li Xianyu found her, it was already half an hour later. She was sitting alone on the curb, hugging her knees, her pupils reflecting the city lights, but her mind was unfocused and wandering.

Her silhouette resembles a pitiful girl heartbroken from a breakup—beautiful and lonely. If photographed, it evokes the poignant beauty of a young woman experiencing heartbreak.

Li Xianyu noticed that his great-grandmother had very long legs. She was sitting with her knees drawn up to her chest, and from the side, her calves were straight and her skin was fair and tender under her skirt.

Perhaps because the city streets were so interconnected, she got lost as she walked. Looking around in bewilderment, the world had long since changed; her era was 150 years past. The world was so vast, and the only person she truly connected with was her current great-grandson.

This is the greatest loneliness.

Feeling resentful but refusing to answer Li Xianyu's call, she could only sit by the roadside in a daze.

Li Xianyu, who had taken many detours to find her, finally felt relieved. Her great-grandmother's earth-shattering cultivation was sealed, making her no different from an ordinary girl. If she encountered a lustful villain at night, she wouldn't even have the ability to resist. At most, she could only shout a few times: "Yamete!"

"Great-Grandma..." Li Xianyu approached and called out.

Grandma ignored him in a huff.

Li Xianyu sat down next to her and said, "I'm sorry."

Grandma turned her head to one side.

Li Xianyu scratched his head, a little anxious. He knew how to coax women, after all, he was an experienced one, but sweet words were not suitable for dealing with his great-grandmother.

After all, no great-grandson in the world would be so cruel as to use sweet words to coax his great-grandmother.

"You are different from them."

After a long silence, the great-grandmother suddenly spoke.

"Who?"

"My great-grandchildren."

Li Xianyu: "In fact, we are the same, because we are all wearing green military uniforms."

"They don't dare to talk to me like that, including your father. When my great-grandchildren see me, it's like seeing a rare treasure. Whether it's out of respect for my power or admiration for my ancestor, they obey me without question and serve me at my beck and call," the great-grandmother said.

"Perhaps it's because I... know nothing about power?"

Li Xianyu imagined his ancestors, and he groveled at his great-grandmother's feet like a little dog, shouting: "Great-grandmother, please take me to show off and fly high!"

Great-Grandma let out a queen-like, maniacal laugh...

He thought to himself, "No wonder you've developed such a wasteful spending habit."

"That's not all," the great-grandmother said in a muffled voice, "They wouldn't dare to peek at my chest and butt like you do. You're such an unfilial and unlovable great-grandson."

Li Xianyu was shocked. It turned out that she had seen him peeking at his great-grandmother's chest and buttocks.

Grandma turned her head, glaring angrily, "I don't want to live with you anymore. I'm going back to the beaded house to wait for your next generation."

Li Xianyu shrugged and said, "But how are you going to get the beads back?"

Great-grandmother: "I'll have that old bald monk seal me away."

Li Xianyu: "Would you like to think about it?"

"There's nothing to consider."

"Alright then, we'll talk about the sealing later. Let's eat first."

"I won't eat it."

"It's delicious."

"Hmph, my Li family was once a renowned and prestigious clan. What delicacies haven't I eaten?"

"Really not going to eat?"

"Even if I starve to death, die outside, jump into the middle of the road and get hit by a car, or be sealed away, I will not eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xianyu heard a "gurgling" sound coming from his great-grandmother's flat little belly.

Great-grandmother: "..."

Twenty minutes later, on the second floor of the restaurant, on the open-air balcony.

A gentle evening breeze stirred the bonsai on the balcony. The lights were bright, and Li Xianyu and his great-grandmother sat facing each other at a two-person table. On the table were dishes including pineapple rice, coconut chicken soup, lemon fish, curry chicken, and two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice.

Pineapple fried rice is refreshing and delicious, with a hint of sweetness.

The coconut chicken soup is rich and flavorful, with a sweet aftertaste.

The lemon fish has a delicate and tender texture, and the slight sourness of the lemon adds to its flavor.

Curry chicken is the finest of the fine, a dish that Li Xianyu always orders.

Claiming to be the daughter of a wealthy family over a hundred years ago, and a great-grandmother who had tasted all the delicacies of the world, she pounced on the table and wolfed down her food. Her little mouth was bulging with pineapple rice, and she greedily wanted to stuff in a spoonful of coconut chicken soup and a piece of curry chicken.

The diners nearby kept glancing at her, startled by the way the pretty girl ate.

"Is it delicious, Grandma?" Li Xianyu said with a smile.

"Delicious, delicious..." Grandma mumbled, struggling to swallow the food. She choked and quickly picked up a freshly squeezed orange juice to drink a mouthful.

"Does it smell good?" Li Xianyu coaxed.

Grandma's eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she tapped her head and exclaimed, "It smells so good!"

My great-grandmother was a woman of unwavering integrity.

Li Xianyu smirked: "Grandma, when are you going to call that bald monk?"

Grandma was taken aback. She glanced at the delicious food on the table, her small eyes darting around. "Let's talk about it another day."

Li Xianyu pressed his advantage: "Then let's not go back into the bead, but we need to agree on three rules."

Grandma looked at him and said, "Hmph, since you're so sincere in trying to persuade me to stay, I'll listen to your story."

Li Xianyu said, "You can see my situation; I'm dirt poor. You can play games from now on, but you can't recharge your account, and your daily expenses can't exceed one hundred."

Grandma threatened, "Then I'm going back to the bead."

Li Xianyu: "Then call quickly."

The great-grandmother said angrily, "...You are a very unfilial and disobedient great-grandson."

Once you go back into the bead, you'll never be able to eat this food again, and you'll never be able to play the game again...

She cautiously observed Li Xianyu, and seeing that he remained unmoved, she extended her slender, fair little finger, pinched it with her thumb, and gestured: "Add just a little bit more."

Li Xianyu: "How much is 'a little bit'?"

Grandma tentatively asked, "One thousand yuan?"

"go."

"Those five hundred."

"Fifty is the most I can do."

"You are a very unfilial and disobedient great-grandson."

Therefore, the great-grandmother's daily expenses were limited to 150 yuan.

Li Xianyu thought smugly, "Our ancestors were such idiots, they couldn't even discipline a girl properly."

The phone rang, playing "Exaggeration" from a certain day later.

Li Xianyu glanced at the caller ID; it was the doorman, whose call back came belatedly.

"Li Xianyu, I've checked with the finance staff, and there's no mistake. There is indeed 200,000 in the card." The doorman's voice came through the phone.

Li Xianyu glanced at his great-grandmother, who was happily eating. She had already finished the lemon fish and was now drinking fish soup and eating pineapple fried rice. He tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and sighed, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake."

The doorman asked, "How's your decision about joining the Baoze Group going?"

Li Xianyu fell silent, the alluring and terrifying figure of Qingqing reappearing in his mind, as well as the image of Liu Wei being carried away wrapped in a body bag.

Although he longs to be like Spider-Man, able to scale walls and shoot enemies at them, he also fears danger and death.

Although he had only recently opened the door to this new world, he knew that it was fraught with danger and chaos, as evidenced by the deaths of Zhang Mingyu and Liu Wei.

After hesitating for a while, Li Xianyu said, "I'll think about it some more."

The doorman readily agreed: "No problem, call me when you've figured it out."

After hanging up the phone, Grandma had almost finished eating. She took out a tissue and elegantly wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth. As if seeing through his concerns, she pouted and said, "What are you afraid of? With Grandma protecting you, I guarantee you'll be the king of the bloodline world."

Li Xianyu chuckled, "How come you, an old man, are so incredibly powerful, yet you couldn't protect my father?"

Grandma was speechless, gave a haughty snort, and turned her head away, ignoring him.
