Chapter 174: Mountain demon

Long Haotian's unit is just down the hall from theirs, hence, Long Zhanye very casually carries Huo Zaiyuan over his shoulder and knocks on the door, not the least bit afraid to interrupt someone's day this early in the morning.

"Coming, coming." Grandfather Long's voice drifts out from behind the door. Following the sound of feet shuffling closer, the door opens. As soon as the old man registers his precious grandson carrying little Yuan and is standing outside his unit, any trace of sleepiness vanishes. "This...what's the matter?"

"Grandfather, I have something I need to tell you," Long Zhanye says in a very serious manner.

"Come in and talk, don't stand outside."

As the pair walk in, Long Haotian glances at the white-haired man draped over his grandson's shoulder. Although his outer appearance has changed, based on Zhanye's every move and speech, it is clear to see that this is still Huo Zaiyuan. The matter of a lightning bolt splitting the military hospital in half was witnessed by more than a few people in the safe zone. While Long Haotian refrained from prying, he knows that his grandson and his companions have something to do with it to some extent.

Stepping into the living room, Long Zhanye sets Huo Zaiyuan down on the sofa. He is rewarded with a stink eye and a foot to his shin. Laughing, he bends to drop a kiss on a flushed cheek.

Heheh...the embarrassed, bushing look on this powerful Taoist's face is really too innocently enticing ah. Even with snow-white eyebrows drawn together in annoyance and lower lip stuck out in a pout. If they don't have to hold a serious discussion with his grandfather right now, he will definitely love his little Yuan tenderly for a while.

"Did you find me to discuss about the sudden collapse of the military hospital a few days ago?" Long Haotian eventually speaks, breaking the sweet moment between the couple, making them freeze as though a cup of ice-water has been upturned over their heads.

"Grandfather guessed half of it. I actually came for another reason. This other matter pertains to little Yuan and the entity behind this zombie apocalypse." Long Zhanye sits down on the sofa beside Huo Zaiyuan before recounting how Huo Zaiyuan was stabbed in the chest by a cursed dagger, which led to Lian Xiang and him (LZY) performing a heavenly-defying deed, causing the hospital to be struck down by lightning. Finally, he also divulges that Huo Zaiyuan only has nine days of life in this body.

Suddenly, Long Zhanye kneels before Long Haotian after ending his story, shocking his grandfather. "You...what's with you, child? Get up, quickly get up."

"Zhanye..." Even Huo Zaiyuan is alarmed by Long Zhanye's abrupt action.

No one understands Long Zhanye's past life and how much he suffered. No one besides him, who has regained all the memories of Huo Tianji. This domineering and unruly individual...very little can make him kneel.

"Grandfather, listen to me..." Long Zhanye grasps Long Haotian's arms before the latter can help him to his feet, expression solemn. "After mum and dad passed, it was grandfather who brought me up. You instructed me, trained me, loved me. I have never once forgotten it, but..."

"Grandfather is unaware of my other identity. My soul comes from a dragon residing in another world. A dragon that was dubbed the harbinger of chaos, created to defy the Heavens. Without a father or mother, without name or family. I was reborn as grandfather's treasured grandson, was given the name Long Zhanye, and became a member of this family. I wouldn't kneel to the Heavens or the Earth, wouldn't kneel to a father or a mother. But to me, grandfather is more than worthy of my respect and honour..."
