Chapter 111.1 He had waited for so many years (The End) (1)

Ning Meng felt that Shi Qi’s image of her was a bit strange.

Why would he think that she had such dirty thoughts? He spoke as if she was looking forward to fulfilling their marital duties…but the most she had done before, was to just have a wet dream about it…

She shook her head, “I didn’t have such thoughts. It must be your own imagination, don’t misplace it on me.”

Shi Qi nodded without refute, “Sure.”

Such words were uttered with half-heartedness but Ning Meng already felt so mentally exhausted that she couldn’t give him a retort. As such, she turned her face away and ignored him.

Shi Qi stepped forward and took away all the memorial tablets on the table, leaving only the top one.

Although it was Ning Meng’s first time seeing the name, she knew that the person wasn’t anyone ordinary to be able to have been placed there. There was an eighty percent chance that the person was Shi Qi’s grandfather, the legendary Lord Shi.

Her impression towards the old man was very complex. When she was possessing Grandma Shi’s body in the beginning, she was amazed at how Grandpa Shi doted on Grandma Shi alone but also felt that something was fishy, until she learned of Grandma Shi’s constitution.

As expected, there was something fishy going on.

Shi Qi turned his face and reached out a hand to her, “Come here.”

Ning Meng hurried over and took his hand. Without a doubt, holding onto his hand or grabbing onto his clothes gave her a peace of mind.

The aisle seemed to be very long, but the two of them kept walking forward.

Perhaps because there was no light all year round, and there was also no ventilation, the air was filled with dampness, adding onto the fragrance from the ancestral hall behind them that wafted over.

The heat in Shi Qi’s hands continuously spread to Ning Meng’s body.

As they went in further and further, the passage had changed from being a flat ground to a gradual upward slope, and it was also very steep. If she hadn’t paid attention, she would’ve immediately slid down from above, and walking up would’ve been very painful.

The entrance behind them was no longer visible, leaving behind only countless candle lights lighting the way. When Ning Meng looked back, she merely saw a very small spot with no end in sight.

Shi Qi would occasionally speak in her ear in order to ease her fright.

Ning Meng couldn’t speak out even if she was scared. Besides, with him by her side and the system in her head, she stuck her head and reaffirmed, “No.”

Shi Qi didn’t refute her, and raised a brow.

Ning Meng simply spoke the truth, “As long as you treat me well, I definitely won’t be afraid.”

Shi Qi was taken aback, before replying, “Alright.”

He couldn’t deny that he liked this answer very much and was very happy.

Ning Meng was blushing from the embarrassment of her own words when the system suddenly jumped out and said, “There’s light ahead!”

She quickly looked ahead, and saw a speck of light.

As they continued to move forward, the speck of light grew bigger and bigger, and the sound of wind came in. The air also seemed to begin circulating, and she could smell some scents of vegetation.

Shi Qi had seen it too and squeezed her hand tightly.

The continuously flickering candlelight shone on his face, reflecting a large shadow and highlighting the tall bridge of the nose as well as his deep and delicate features.

Ning Meng was stunned by this sight for a while, and by the time she reacted, she saw Shi Qi stare at her thoughtfully. Her face became hot and she turned away her eyes in haste, “It looks like we’ve almost reached the end.”

Shi Qi didn’t tease her either, “Yeah.”

After a while, the front exit came into view, and the sound of the wind gradually became louder. A stone gate was left open, and the outside was too bright to see anything but a vast expanse of whiteness.

Ning Meng’s feet had already gotten tired from walking so when her eyes caught sight of the exit, they lit up in joy but she didn’t dare to move. After all, she knew this place was unusual at first glance, and Shi Qi must have never been here before.

The farther they went, the brighter the light grew, but after reaching a certain distance, they were able to see what the outside scene looked like.

The moment she stepped foot on the exit, Ning Meng’s hair was messed up by the wind.

Shi Qi stood in front of her and also covered everything in front of her.

The wind whistled in her ears, causing Ning Meng to cover them. It was as if a wild animal was roaring, making one’s ears hurt and feel dizzy.

She asked in a smothered voice, “What’s going on outside?”

Why did they suddenly stop here? Was it because they couldn’t go ahead any further?

Shi Qi stepped a little to the side, allowing her to see the situation outside. Ning Meng squinted, and was immediately stunned by the sight before her.

How was this the mountain where the Shi residence was located? This was clearly the inside of a tall mountain. How did they end up here?

Looking down from the exit was a very steep downhill. Outside, there were countless trees and weeds. Not far away was the foot of the mountain. When they raised their heads, they couldn’t see where the top of the mountain was, the summit covered in a field of white.

She turned to Shi Qi and murmured, “What’s going on?”

Before Shi Qi could even give her an answer, the system popped out, “Obviously, the person here had set up a formation, which led directly to the Shi Residence. This would save them a lot of time and effort.”

Shi Qi suddenly said, “This is Mount Yan.”

“Mount Yan?” Ning Meng was dumbfounded, “Isn’t this the same as the one we went to before…”

They had once visited Mount Yan and Shi Shanxing and also escaped from there. It was also the place where several corpses had nearly turned into zombies.

Was the culprit really someone from the Shi family?

Shi Qi’s face was heavy and he walked straight forward, “He was injured so he couldn’t have gone far.”

Ning Meng asked, “Is this what you did last night? Were you injured because of this?”

Shi Qi turned his head and looked straight at her, “You will know later on.”

Ning Meng didn’t quite understand him.

What did he mean by she was going to know later on? Why couldn’t she know about it now? What other secrets were there for her to learn before she could know?

After she thought about it for a long time, Shi Qi had already taken her forward. It was difficult to walk the mountain road, so he simply carried her on his back.

Ning Meng laid on his back and asked in a low voice, “Will I hold you back?”

She couldn’t do anything. She said she was going to learn how to draw talismans but was only able to learn a bit in the past. The talismans she drew were only able to fly for less than a minute too, that wasn’t even one-third of Shi Qi’s talismans.

“You won’t.” Shi Qi said firmly.

Ning Meng breathed a sigh of relief and stopped asking further questions. She obediently observed the surroundings, for fear that someone would secretly ambush them.

They ended up returning to the cave they had visited before.

The difference was that there were a lot of things inside this time. Ning Meng never thought that she would be able to see those things that only existed in mythology. The legendary nine sons of the dragon were also present, looking very lifelike as if it was real.

These sculptures were lined up in every corner, their eyes indistinct, and they stared at them as if life was breathing in them.

The system suddenly appeared, “Look at that corner!”

Ning Meng quickly looked over—and saw an old man.

Even though she said it was an old man, it was still too light of a term. Ning Meng didn’t know how to describe that person. He looked like a dead tree now, and the wrinkles on his face were so deep that she could barely see his skin.

His height had shrunken down to the size of a child, and his clothes were too big on him, looking like a child who had stolen an adult’s clothes, the whole proportion very strange.

He was very old, his skin sagging. His whole body shrank into a ball, and his lower body was hidden in the darkness, leaving only the upper body visible.

One could see that he was hanging on his last breath.

Ning Meng didn’t want to make trouble, also noting how most novels wrote how several people died due to speaking too much. Even when the main lead turned into the villain, he would die because he had spoken too much.

Shi Qi took out two wooden tablets from his clothes.

Ning Meng swept a glance over and saw that one turned out to be her name and the other one had Shi Shanyan’s name…and she wondered when he had gotten his hands on them.

Seeing the familiar wooden steles, movements finally came from the other party.

The system quickly reminded her, “He is seriously injured at the moment, don’t waste any words on him and quickly have him dealt with. Once that’s settled, you can finally enjoy life!”

In this way, its host can enjoy the next few decades, and its tasks can also be considered completed. It wouldn’t have to worry about being taken back for repair.

Ning Meng had yet to move when Shi Qi had already stepped forward. She couldn’t see his movements clearly, and could only hear the sounds of the old man’s coughing and vomiting blood.

Before long, Shi Qi stood by her side again, and said coldly to the man, “Grandpa, don’t waste your effort.”

He had already recovered now, and he was more than enough to deal with a seriously injured person.

Grandpa… Ning Meng sighed, this really was the same as her previous conjecture.

To start with, apart from the Shi Family members, who else was able to learn of Shi Shanyan’s birthdate as well as go out of the Shi residence freely?

And in this world, who was stronger than Shi Qi…it was naturally none other than his ancestor.

Grandpa Shi was only mentioned in the novel but had never really played a part. He was extremely capable, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to grow the Shi family to this degree.

Unfortunately, he had taken the wrong step, and this caused the following steps he took to be in the wrong direction as well.

“I won’t die…” The old man’s turbid eyes flickered, and the strength to speak suddenly grew as if he had come back to life.

Ning Meng was surprised, and the system said, “It’s terminal lucidity. This old man can’t live anymore. The lamp has already run out of oil.”

That was true. He had exhausted his body and even committed atrocious sins, to be able to live until today was already very generous to him.

While he was still lucid, he remembered to give Shi Qi a heavy blow. The moment he spotted Ning Meng, he revealed a greedy expression, “You…You’re much better than that old woman…”
