Chapter 181: The Warcraft of Retirement

Meng Qing's grandmother is an old lady with gray hair and a kind face.

She doesn't like to go out on weekdays, and unlike other old ladies in the village, she is keen on playing cards and mahjong.

Instead, I like reading and embroidery.

Her education level is quite high, and she seems out of place in this environment where most people are rough.

Although she has never opened a private school, many adults of her parents’ generation in the village will respectfully call her teacher.

It is said that many young people in the village were named by her.

Of course, that includes Meng Qing.

The old lady took great care of Meng Qing and gave him a lot of warmth that he had never felt from his parents before.

Although she didn't say it on the surface, Meng Qing already admired her grandma in her heart.

However, there are always bad rumors circulating among the local children...

After Meng Qing returned to the village, he entered a private school in the local village.

The habit of petty theft still existed, but due to his status as a grandmother, most of the teachers at the private school only reprimanded him but never fired him.

As a result, Meng Qing became more and more inflated, causing dissatisfaction among many peers.

The children began to form a group to exclude this lonely and unpopular guy.

While mocking him for having no father and mother, he also said that his grandmother was a cannibal old witch and a monster turned into a monster.

Meng Qing couldn't stand the ridicule, so he immediately got into a fight with those who said bad things and was beaten with a bruise on his nose and a swollen face.

After returning home, grandma did not reprimand him or comfort him.

Instead, he took his hand and told him a story that his father often heard when he was a child.

An old-fashioned heroic story that even seven-year-old Meng Qing found childish.

The protagonist of the story has a tragic life experience, but he is an upright person. He kills demons, punishes evil and promotes good along the way, and finally gets a happy ending.

But for some reason, Meng Qing listened to such an old boring story.

The next day, grandma and Meng Qing visited the children one by one and apologized to the children whose things had been stolen.

Regardless of whether they accepted it or not, Meng Qing felt much better.

Since then, Meng Qing, with the help of her grandma, has filled in the missing "how to be a human being" education from her parents.

Although each story is more cliched than the last, grandma's narration is particularly attractive.

As she grew older and more experienced, Meng Qing also understood her grandmother's good intentions. Instead of hearing those messy cliche stories, she paid more attention to the connotation of the story.

In this way, Meng Qing slowly grew up, awakened to his strange profession, was spotted by Dongfang Changming, and submitted an application to Tongxuansi.

But at this time, something happened.

Meng Qing's world view was once again impacted.

Five months ago, when the Death World Youdu just appeared.

Beast tides began to erupt one after another around the world.

Even a small village like Zhenlongshan, located in a ravine, was inevitably besieged by the beast tide.

The village, which had already declined at this time, had no remaining strength to resist the attack of the monsters.

Just when everyone thought they were going to die...

The huge beast tide was repelled by a wooden dragon falling from the sky.

The wooden dragon turned into a barrier and surrounded the village until the beast tide subsided, then slowly left.

The people in the village cheered and devoted themselves to the restoration work of the village with enthusiasm.

But Meng Qing discovered that grandma was missing.

He risked his life and took people into the mountains to search for him for a day and a night, trying to find people dead and corpses.

Finally, grandma returned home unscathed one night.

However, grandma's behavior and temperament at this time were the same as before.

The feeling given to Meng Qing was completely different.

She said she was injured, and all the exposed skin on her head and hands was covered with bandages.

Only two eyes were exposed, still spinning.

But Meng Qing could still see it at a glance.

She has become younger.

Shockingly young, even younger than his mother in his memory.

After holding it in for two days, Meng Qing finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He secretly used his professional skills to steal the bandages on her body.

After seeing that young appearance, I fell into deep self-doubt.

Whether it's his daily small actions, his personality, tone of speech, behavioral habits...this is his grandma.

But the only thing is that the age does not match.

Grandma saw that the matter was exposed and had no choice.

He had no choice but to lock the door and tell his story.

She is the wooden dragon falling from the sky.

Decades ago, by mistake, he acquired some strange powers and used them for his own use.

She possesses extremely high sanity and the power to change her own form at will.

Therefore, she spurned the bloodthirsty and brainless habits of her kind, and instead mingled with the pioneers as a human being.

Going around and around and living with the pioneer team for more than twenty years, I feel like I have experienced everything. I have been hiding and trying to keep myself from being exposed during battles is really tiring.

So he stayed in this village and planned to retire.

Moreover, she adopted a child from the town.

Firstly, it was to dispel other people's doubts about her, and secondly, she wanted to stay in the village more legitimately.

She watched this village step by step from the thatched huts in the beginning to what it is today.

I also hope to see it become a town, a city with tall buildings in the future...

When the beast tide invaded, she also knew that the village could not survive by its own strength.

So she took action without hesitation and repelled the beast tide with all her strength.

But she didn't expect...

Because she had been a human for many years, she felt unfamiliar with her own strength for the first time.

It took a lot of effort just to change back to human form, not to mention making other subtle adjustments...

...

"So, as a human, you learned the principles of being a human from a monster?"

"No wonder Dad always says you have a weird personality, hahahaha, cough cough, sorry..."

Xiao Pu grinned, then quickly covered his mouth and stopped talking.

Li Yang gained some knowledge.

It is common for animals to transform into humans and get married to others.

It was the first time that a monster transformed into an old man and hid in the village to live out his retirement.

Meng Qing paused and added the last words:

"She said that she had been a human for too long, and subconsciously could no longer accept that she was a non-human race."

"She wanted to die as a human, rather than being captured and sliced ​​up for research as a rare monster."

"It took her several days to return to her normal appearance. She was afraid that if she used her power again, she would never be able to change back."

"So she told me that it was definitely the last time she used her power..."

"No matter what, she would never look like that again."

"But this time..."

Meng Qing did not finish her words.

What Li Yang saw through his innate ability was enough to explain everything.
