The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1147 - 1116

In the southwestern border, vegetation was abundant, and snakes, worms, rats, and ants were countless.

During the journey, Xu Weiwei ate food specially prepared by Grandma Ma using these snakes, worms, rats, and ants.

At first, it was somewhat nauseating, but gradually, she found the taste quite delicious.

As she consumed these items, changes gradually occurred in Xu Weiwei’s body, and her Life-bound Gu increased significantly in size, transforming into thin threads spreading throughout her entire body.

Finally, they reached the deep mountains where human traces were rare and settled in a cave.

Under the guidance of Grandma Ma, Xu Weiwei had now learned to catch these creatures and turn them into tasty dishes.

At night, Grandma Ma was cultivating.

However, suddenly Grandma Ma felt an alien presence within her body and immediately opened her eyes, realizing the gravity of the situation.

Someone had placed a restriction on her, which meant that no matter where she went, that person would know her whereabouts.

In this case, it wouldn’t be long before those people caught up.

They hadn’t caught up yet, probably because something had detained them in Xiangjiang.

Xu Weiwei, who was sleeping, was suddenly grabbed by the arm by Grandma Ma.

"Grandma Ma, what’s wrong?" Xu Weiwei asked in surprise, "Is it because someone has caught up to us?"

Grandma Ma didn’t speak. She checked Xu Weiwei’s arms again, took a breath of relief, and nothing was on her.

This way, at the very least, she could still protect Xu Weiwei’s life!

Grandma Ma handed a black package to Xu Weiwei and said, "Weiwei, I’ve been restricted by someone else. No matter where I go, that person will find me. If you stay with me, you’ll definitely be caught. Inside this package is the legacy of our Sect. Leave alone, find a safe place to hide and cultivate properly."

Upon hearing this, Xu Weiwei was too frightened to speak.

"My God?" Xu Weiwei turned pale, "Master, I’m scared to be alone!"

"Do you want to live, or do you want to fall into the enemy’s hands?" Grandma Ma asked, "Staying with me will surely get you caught, as I can’t remove the restriction on me. If you stay with me, you will also be caught. Over the past period, you’ve already begun your training. Without me, you might progress slower, but you will still grow."

Xu Weiwei’s face was streaked with tears as she said, "Master, if I leave, what will you do? If you fall into their hands, they will kill you."

Grandma Ma held Yu Weiwei’s hand and said, "Weiwei, if your mom hadn’t saved me back then, I would have long been dead and wouldn’t have lived peacefully until now. Now that you’re in danger, even if it costs me my old life, I will protect you. Come, sit properly!"

Xu Weiwei was confused, but still did as Grandma Ma instructed.

Once Xu Weiwei was seated properly, Grandma Ma sat in front of her and said, "Keep your eyes wide open. If possible in the future, pass down the secret techniques of our Sect."

Xu Weiwei nodded.

Grandma Ma’s eyes bulged as she seemed to concentrate all the energy in her body, drew a knife, and sliced a large cut on her right index finger, then made a similar cut on Xu Weiwei’s right middle finger. The pale finger immediately bled profusely with fresh red blood.

Grandma Ma’s withered finger also bled profusely, but her blood was thick and dark. Soon after, a thin thread flowed out from Grandma Ma’s finger.

Xu Weiwei’s cut finger also released something resembling a thread.

These two thread-like substances emerged from Grandma Ma and Xu Weiwei’s bodies, entwining together and gradually merging into a slightly thicker "thread".

In fact, that wasn’t a thread. Under a microscope, the slender thread had several tiny tentacles.

Xu Weiwei was dumbstruck, not understanding why her master was doing this.

Just when the thicker thread was about to enter Grandma Ma’s body, Grandma Ma stopped it and used a secret technique to redirect it into Xu Weiwei’s body.

Xu Weiwei felt disgusted, but at the same time, she sensed the benefits brought by this disgusting thing.

Over the past few days, crossing mountains and rivers, Xu Weiwei wasn’t tired at all. This would have been impossible before, so she realized the change was from the Gu insect Grandma Ma had given her.

Slowly, very slowly, it finally all went in.

Xu Weiwei felt her body swell a bit and tingle, but at the same time, it was quite refreshing.

Grandma Ma relentlessly taught Xu Weiwei how to cultivate and preserve her life until dawn, and eventually could not endure anymore, lying limply on the ground.

"Weiwei, you must hurry and leave," Grandma Ma said, "I feel that person is coming, getting closer, you must go now."

Grandma Ma could feel the body’s restrictions growing stronger, surely because that person was getting closer to this place.

Seeing Grandma Ma’s emaciated body, Xu Weiwei said, "Master, I will carry you, I can’t leave you here."

"Hurry up and leave. My Life-bound Gu has already been passed on to you. I can’t survive anymore. Taking me with you will only be a burden," Grandma Ma said, "If it weren’t for the person tracking us, I might be able to continue teaching you, but now I can’t. Everything from our Sect is in that bundle. Hereafter, read the books and cultivate well on your own. Promise me, don’t use this power to harm the innocent."

Xu Weiwei nodded earnestly, "Master, I won’t harm the innocent, I won’t. Master... Master..."

Grandma Ma felt dizzy, and it took her a while to open her eyes and say, "Weiwei, go. If you stay, your fate will be the same as mine, a dead end. You preserving the artifacts of our Sect is enough for me to be grateful. Moreover, think about your mother; she’s still in Xiangjiang."

Xu Weiwei was startled, right, she still had her mom.

If she got caught, who would her mother rely on afterward!

"Alright, go now, go now," Grandma Ma said with a scattered gaze and weak spirit.

Xu Weiwei knelt in front of Grandma Ma and bowed three times, saying, "Master, your disciple is unfilial, your disciple is unfilial!"

"Don’t cry. To die in such a beautiful place, I’m already very satisfied..." Grandma Ma said and closed her eyes.

Xu Weiwei stood up, cleaned the cave, changed Grandma Ma’s clothes, and placed her on a clean, large rock.

Since her master was still alive, Xu Weiwei couldn’t just bury her. Instead, she personally gathered some food and placed it on large tree leaves next to her master.

After doing all this last night, Xu Weiwei, carrying the bundle, knelt again before Grandma Ma, bowed, and said, "Master, your disciple is unfilial..."

Xu Weiwei left, and only then did Grandma Ma open her eyes.

It was good that she left. Without any attachments, Grandma Ma could quietly wait for that person to arrive, eager to see who that person really was.
