My wife who comes from a wealthy family-Chapter 851 - 852: Grandpa’s Diary

"God-grandfather, I won!" Ye Wudao was beyond excited, waving a golden fishing rod, jumping and dancing in joy!

"Good, good, good!" The old rogue repeated the word "good" three times. Ye Wudao managing to defeat the bull python dragon in just one week was far beyond his expectations!

According to the old rogue’s predictions, it would take at least twenty days, if not half a month at the shortest!

"You beast, spit out the Jiao Dragon Pill now!" the old rogue scolded angrily.

"Yes..." The bull python dragon conceded, opening its large mouth to spit out a golden Jiao Dragon Pill the size of a fist, radiating dazzling light.

"Scram!" the old rogue waved dismissively.

"Yes, yes, many thanks to the senior for sparing my life and being lenient!" The bull python dragon was immensely grateful and immediately dove back into the sea.

"God-grandfather, you’re not killing it?" Ye Wudao asked curiously.

"Heh, I fished it out only for the Jiao Dragon Pill, not to satisfy my appetite! It’s better to let things live than kill them!" the old rogue explained.

Ye Wudao, half-understanding, couldn’t help but give him a thumbs-up. "You truly have a higher state of mind, god-grandfather!"

The old rogue tossed the Jiao Dragon Pill in his hand to Ye Wudao, saying, "This is for you!"

What!!!

Ye Wudao fumbled to catch the Jiao Dragon Pill in shock. "You’re giving this to me? I... I really can’t accept this!"

"Haha, boy, you think I brought you out to the sea to fish big ones for fun? It was all for this Demon Core, to help you solidify your foundation when you break through to the True Pill stage!" the old rogue revealed the truth.

Hearing this, Ye Wudao’s eyes turned misty. He bowed deeply to the old rogue and said, "God-grandfather, your immense kindness and virtue, Wudao will never forget in this lifetime!"

"Alright, enough with the formality. Let’s head home. You need to prepare to break through to the True Pill stage, boy!" the old rogue said.

With excitement in his eyes, Ye Wudao exclaimed, "Alright, let’s go home!"

...

After returning to the island, the old rogue said, "Follow me!"

"Yes!" Ye Wudao nodded and quietly followed behind the old rogue as they quickly made their way into the mountains.

The old rogue stopped in front of a cave entrance.

"Here we are!" the old rogue said, taking out a pill from his clothes and tossing it to Ye Wudao. "Swallow it!"

Ye Wudao didn’t ask much and swallowed it in one gulp!

In an instant, the sealed cultivation within him was fully restored!

Not only that!

A powerful aura erupted from Ye Wudao’s body!

"Peak Battle Saint!"

Ye Wudao’s face was filled with shock. Unlocking his cultivation actually pushed him straight to the Peak Battle Saint level!

"Chopping Golden Thunder Bamboo and exhausting your strength against the bull python dragon during this time have all unknowingly increased your power!" the old rogue explained.

"So that’s how it is!" Ye Wudao nodded.

Looking back, he did indeed put in a lot of effort during this time!

"Alright, go in and break through to the True Pill stage!" the old rogue said.

"God-grandfather, this cave..." Ye Wudao couldn’t help but ask.

"This cave was used by your grandfather when he broke through to the True Pill stage!" the old rogue said, his gaze falling into reminiscence.

What!

Ye Wudao was shocked. "This is the cave where my grandfather broke through to the Spirit Transformation stage?"

"Exactly." The old rogue nodded.

"God-grandfather, what exactly was your relationship with my grandfather?" Ye Wudao couldn’t help but ask.

"Your grandfather, Ye Zhenguo, and I were inseparable friends, brothers who faced life and death together! Back then, we were both genius Martial Artists. Later, we simultaneously broke through to the True Pill stage and stepped onto the path of cultivation!" With his arms crossed behind him, the old rogue’s eyes turned nostalgic. "As time went on, your grandfather became more and more dazzling, his brilliance ever-growing. Unfortunately, a large tree attracts wind..."

"What happened to my grandfather later?" Ye Wudao asked curiously.

"That’s not something for you to ask now. When you reach the Spirit Transformation stage, everything will be revealed!" the old rogue replied.

Hiss!

When I reach the Spirit Transformation stage!

Ye Wudao was shocked internally and decided to ask no more!

"Go on now, this cave contains some things left behind by your grandfather!" the old rogue waved him off.

"Yes!" Ye Wudao nodded and walked into the cave with curiosity in his heart.

The cave wasn’t big, but it was clean and neat, with not even a cobweb in the corners. It was clear someone regularly tidied it up.

All these years since his grandfather’s disappearance, the only one who could have kept cleaning this cave was his god-grandfather, the old rogue!

Ye Wudao curiously examined the cave.

There was a shelf of books inside the cave, with many books neatly arranged on it, each impeccably clean.

Ye Wudao picked up a book and casually flipped it open. To his surprise, it was a diary personally written by his grandfather.

"Hehe, the rogue got beaten up today. The culprit was a spoiled son from some noble family. How could I let anyone lay a hand on my brother? That night, the rogue and I snuck into that brat’s room while he was sleeping and gave him a serious beating!!"

"Haha, my grandfather was so interesting when he was young!" Reading the diary entries, Ye Wudao estimated his grandfather must have been no older than twenty at the time.

Ye Wudao flipped through more pages.

"I broke through to Battle Saint level before the rogue. He was so envious he didn’t speak to me for a week!"

"Three years later, the rogue and I stepped into the True Pill stage together. Becoming cultivators changed everything—many of our old enemies became respectful overnight. I also had a chubby son by then. The rogue named him Ye Lingtian and insisted on becoming his godfather, even claiming he’d have a daughter to set up a future marriage pact. That bastard! What girl would even take a liking to him?"

As Ye Wudao read the diary, he muttered to himself, "So this was when Father was born!"

The diary’s timeline leapt forward, each turn of a page skipping several years!

"My son Ling Tian is growing up. He’s already nine now, but his talent is average, far worse than mine! Alas, I can’t demand he be like me. As long as he’s safe and sound, that’s enough!"

"My son Ling Tian has turned eighteen. I regret missing his coming-of-age ceremony..."

"Ling Tian got married at twenty-three to a woman named Jiang Qin. I’m quite pleased with her as my daughter-in-law. But my time is running out..."

"My grandson has been born. This boy is truly one of a kind—his birth was accompanied by heavenly signs, purple energy from the east. The rogue was insanely jealous and joked again about having a granddaughter as a match for my grandson. Bah, he doesn’t even have a son! This little rascal had the audacity to pee and poop on his grandfather’s head. And me, at the peak of Spirit Transformation stage at that time! Simply outrageous! I named my grandson Ye Wudao. Bold and resounding, isn’t it?"

"Haha, I actually pooped on my grandfather’s head. The scariest part is that he was already at the peak of Spirit Transformation stage back then. That’s terrifying!" Ye Wudao winced at the thought, feeling chills run through his scalp!

That must have been over twenty years ago!

Such a long time ago!

"I couldn’t attend Wudao’s hundred-day banquet because the situation was becoming increasingly tense. The rogue told me not to meddle with Ye family matters to avoid implicating them. Time is running out for us!"

"Today, I secretly returned home and found that my grandson is already three years old, a chubby boy. It makes me so happy! Alas, I can’t be there to watch him grow. It’s my greatest regret!"

As Ye Wudao read the diary, his hands trembled, and tears streamed down his cheeks!

Through these brief entries, the image of his grandfather vividly came to life in his mind!

"So, my grandfather always cared about me. But what did he mean by ’time is running out’?" Ye Wudao wanted to continue reading the diary, but suddenly, it emitted a blinding light that nearly hurt his eyes.

"Ah, it hurts!" Ye Wudao immediately covered his eyes, dropping the diary to the ground.

"Little Tower, what’s going on?" Ye Wudao couldn’t help but ask.

"Master, your grandfather included content in the latter part of the diary that’s too terrifying for your current cultivation level to handle!" Little Tower replied.

Hiss!

Ye Wudao’s heart trembled. He suspected that his grandfather’s disappearance for these twenty years must be tied to what lay in the diary’s unrevealed content!

Picking up the diary, Ye Wudao carefully stored it away. "Grandfather, I will find you!"

After calming himself, Ye Wudao took out the priceless Jiao Dragon Pill from the bull python dragon. His gaze firm, he declared, "The time has come. It’s time to break through to the True Pill stage..."
