"Grandma, you've woken up! How are you feeling now?"
The voice of Dawn, filled with surprise, echoed once more in the dilapidated house.
"Grandma is fine. But... Grandma... Grandma is going to see your grandpa."
The old woman spoke with tears streaming down her face.
At this moment, her breath was steady and her mind was clear.
However, Yang Yan knew this was just a flash before the end.
Her words were not nonsense.
"Grandma, don't say that, please don't say that. You will live to a hundred years. I'll buy you a big house and lots of delicious food in the future. You will get better!"
Dawn gripped her grandmother's hand tightly, crying as she spoke.
"Child, don't cry. Grandma knows her own situation. Besides, I've already seen your grandpa, he is waiting for me over there!"
The old woman lovingly caressed her granddaughter's head as she comforted her.
Outside the door, Zhou Hanyun heard the woman's words and couldn't help but look at Yang Yan in confusion.
Yang Yan gently shook his head:
"Her life span has come to an end, it's entirely possible she is seeing things. But more likely, it's hallucinations. It's better this way, at least she can leave more peacefully."
"Alas! They really have had it tough."
Zhou Hanyun said, wiping away tears, sighing as she spoke.
"Good child, it's nothing for me to leave, but I can't rest easy about you. You must take good care of yourself, understand? Living alone, you must be extra cautious."
"Since the day I picked you up, I have imagined seeing you get married. Unfortunately, now I won't see it. You must go on living well, you must live well."
After the old lady whispered her last word, she fell silent, and the hopeful gaze in her eyes began to fade.
"Grandma!"
Dawn let out a heart-wrenching cry, her body swayed, and she fainted.
She was already exhausted, possibly skipped lunch, and now suffered such a massive blow she couldn't bear it.
Yang Yan held her wrist, quickly infused a warm energy, and soon she came to.
Upon waking, she immediately knelt before Yang Yan:
"Please, save my grandma. I will repay you even if I become your servant. Please save her! Save her..."
Zhou Hanyun hurriedly crouched down to help Dawn up, but the young girl was stubborn and refused to rise.
She just looked at Yang Yan with a face full of pleading, constantly begging.
"Alas! Why do you insist? Your grandma died peacefully, it's considered a happy passing!"
Yang Yan sighed and said.
"Just let her see me again, just let her see me, I still have some words to say to Grandma."
Dawn cried as she spoke.
Hearing Dawn's words, Yang Yan turned his head to look at the door, then said:
"Ten minutes, you only have ten minutes. Otherwise, this is not good for her. You don't want her to be unable to rest in peace after death, do you?"
"En!"
Dawn hurriedly nodded and then looked at Yang Yan with hopeful eyes.
Seeing Dawn nod, Yang Yan slowly walked to the door and then spoke towards the door:
"Gentlemen, please do me a favor, ten minutes, I will see you off when you leave, it won't delay your time."
"Mom, there are two people over there."
Cai'Er said nervously to Zhou Hanyun.
Zhou Hanyun looked over there after hearing Cai'Er's words.
But she looked for a long time and saw nothing.
Thinking of what Yang Yan just said, she couldn't help but shiver all over.
After Yang Yan finished speaking, he waited for a while before saying thank you.
He said to Dawn:
"Go in! Remember, you only have ten minutes, speak quickly."
As Yang Yan finished speaking, the old woman inside had woken up again.
But this time, her face appeared somewhat stiff and bloodless.
Dawn, however, didn't notice these details at all. She ran inside crying and threw herself into the old lady's arms.
Seeing this, Yang Yan gently closed the door and then stood aside, continuously speaking to the air about something.
Time is a strange thing.
The more you wish it to pass swiftly, the slower it seems.
But the more you wish it would slow down, the quicker it goes.
Ten minutes quickly passed.
Yang Yan drew Asura from the Void and then sliced it towards the ground, the space instantly became distorted.
Yang Yan said towards the door:
"Thank you! Consider this I owe the two of you a favor."
Zhou Hanyun stood quietly to the side watching this eerie scene without saying a word.
She's long grown accustomed to the strange happenings around Yang Yan.
"Did the old woman leave?"
Zhou Hanyun asked softly.
"En, she left."
Stowing away the blood-colored Asura, Yang Yan nodded lightly.
"Then she..."
Zhou Hanyun hesitated to continue.
Yang Yan showed a faint bitter smile, then turned and opened the door to enter.
Inside, Dawn was still clinging to the stiffened body of the old woman, crying incessantly.
Seeing Yang Yan come in, she gently laid the old woman on the bed, then stood up and knelt before him with a plop:
"Thank you, Mr. Yang, but could you help me bury my grandma? I know saying this is quite presumptuous, but I really have no money."
"As long as Mr. Yang helps me bury my grandma, I will sell myself to Mr. Yang. I can be your servant."
Dawn's expression was very serious, afraid that Yang Yan would refuse.
Although she was not old, the hardships of life made her understand far more than other children her age.
Unintentionally seeing Dawn's eyes, Yang Yan felt a chill hit his heart.
It was as if something suddenly appeared before him that he would lose if it wasn't grasped firmly.
"You, stand up first, bury the old woman first."
Yang Yan said seriously.
"Did Mr. Yang agree?"
Dawn looked up at Yang Yan, asking excitedly.
"Don't be like that, we'll help you bury your grandma, but don't say those things, we don't need anything from you."
Zhou Hanyun burst out with motherly instincts, hurriedly holding Dawn, comforting her as she spoke.
"Sister, I know what I am doing. Grandma always taught me from a young age to repay those who are good to you, because they don't have to be that way."
"But now, besides myself, I have nothing else. So, the only promise I can give is myself."
Dawn said stubbornly.
"Those words, talk about them later. First, bury your grandma, let her rest in peace."
Yang Yan didn't want to continue this topic and straightforwardly reminded her.
Dawn nodded, and with Zhou Hanyun's support, stood up again and sat back by the old woman.
The young girl, having lost her dearest kin, was actually very weak at the moment.
Seeing this, Yang Yan sighed deeply, then turned around to go outside and made a call.
After briefly explaining the situation, he turned off his phone and returned to the small room.
