Chapter 238: Senior, You’re Back

“This way, please. The patient is in this room,” the nurse said to Yuchi, who nodded.

Yu Shengyun stood outside and waited for Yuchi. She did not want to disturb his meeting with the old man.

Yuchi had not noticed Qin Lanyu and Yuanyuan.

His focus was on this old man. He could feel his Dao aura maintaining the old man’s crumbling soul.

The old man’s soul was too fragile.

Each time the Dao aura repaired his soul, it diminished bit by bit.

Yuchi was here to check on the old man’s situation. At the same time, he wanted to gain a rough understanding of the human race’s current situation.

The door opened.

There were a few disciples in the ward, but when these disciples saw Yuchi walking over, although they did not know who Yuchi was and simply felt that he looked a little familiar, they still chose to nod in his direction and left the room of their own accord.

Now, it was just the two of them.

Many years had passed, and it seemed that the old man had aged to this extent.

His body was as thin as a match, and because he had been dehydrated for a long time, his fingers were curled up like chicken claws.

His skin had already turned dark brown, and his muscles had atrophied.

His eyes were sunken and there was not a single ounce of fat on his body.

Everything that could be used by this body to survive had already been used up. His body was at the end of its rope.

It was a shocking sight.

Fortunately, the old man’s soul was still in a normal state, which meant that he was still capable of conscious thoughts and actions.

The old man looked at his disciples who were leaving.

At first, he was still a little puzzled, but when he saw Yuchi appear in front of him, his eyes instantly turned misty and tears flowed out.

An old man hurriedly got up to bow to Yuchi.

Yuchi gently pressed him down on the bed.

The old man opened his dry lips and tried to say something, but he could not suppress the raging waves in his heart.

The sun was setting, and the dim light fell on his face. In the city made of human steel and cement, Yuchi was facing the setting sun, while the old man had his back against the light.

“I’m back,” Yuchi said.

“Senior, you’re back. I’m in such an embarrassing state.” The old man’s voice was very hoarse.

Yuchi shook his head and smiled, but he did not say anything.

The old man, on the other hand, had mixed feelings.

He really wanted to live.

He had clearly seen the signs of the revival of humankind. He could already envision the day when human ancient martial art practitioners rose up, and beast tamers were no more.

It had only been a dozen years.

Everything had happened too quickly, yet it had all been like a dream.

How he wished he could stay by his granddaughter’s side!

How he wished he could see how the human race would develop in the future!

How he wished he could see if the human race had the ability to fight on the battlefield against the other races!

In the end, he could not. Time had been his enemy, and he had lost to it..

To a martial artist, this was the greatest insult in the world.

He would rather die at the feet of his enemies on the battlefield.

He did not want to pass away in such a squalid state, yet there was nothing he could do about it.

Yuchi still didn’t say a word. He just sat quietly beside the old man. From the beginning to the end, his face exuded an aura of kindness.

The old man’s feelings…

He understood.

While Yuchi and the old man were in the ward, outside the ward, Yu Shengyun was recalling what she had seen in the human city.

“There are so many humans! So many people!”

“I heard from Yuchi that this is just one human city, and there are actually 10 billion people in this city.”

“Oh my God!”

“There are actually 10 billion people. That’s nuts!”

“If the angel race had 10 billion people, we would be invincible!”

This was the first time she had seen so many people. It looked like a whole new world.

However, everything seemed too calm and complacent here.

She did not feel any sense of danger or urgency here.

Did they really think that humans were the only living beings in the world?

It was strange.

Back in the angel race’s territory, everyone was busy cultivating, and only a few people were responsible for the administration of the angel race’s daily affairs.

Here, there were colorful billboards and entertainment centers everywhere.

Still, there seemed to be some sparks of life in the city.

There were a number of humans training and cultivating now.

“It seems that there is hope for this race.”

“After all, their population is so large, so once enough people change their perspectives, they should be able to grow stronger quite quickly.”

“I’m just really envious that they are so good at reproducing though. I want a child too.”

While she was thinking about this matter, she was also quite worried about Yuchi. Perhaps she should go in and take a look?

Then…

A trembling voice spoke up from behind her.

“Hello.”
