Unknown area.

A gathering place for evil, an unnamed tube-shaped building complex, third floor.

It wasn't long before the heat around Chen Yu's body slowly faded away. The growth of his physique also came to a halt.

He clenched the syringe in his hand.

A moment later, Chen Yu jerked his head around and looked at the old lady, "Is there any more of this stuff? Can I get a refill?"

"Do you like my Bloody Mary, old lady style?" the wrinkles on the proud old lady's face smoothed out with her smile.

"I couldn't 'taste' if it's good, but this thing is pretty interesting. Pour me another."

"There's none left. My little darling Ma Li has been drunk by me to the point of anemia. If you want some more, let's talk about it the next time we meet."

"Next time we meet, huh."

Chen Yu felt unfulfilled.

He decided to come back again tomorrow.

"Although there's no more Bloody Mary, if you like my drinks and beverages, I can get you something else."

"Will it have the same effect?" asked Chen Yu.

The old lady grinned, "I don't understand what you mean by 'effect,' is it for virility? You can try it."

"Then... shall I try?"

"No problem!"

The old lady was unusually excited, swaying to her feet and heading towards the fridge. She took out a bottle of yellowish liquid, filled a glass to the brim, and enthusiastically handed it to Chen Yu, "Try this, chilled Granny's Urine. It's also a masterpiece of mine."

"Is it also injected into the veins?"

"NO, this one is for drinking."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu picked up the glass and scrutinized the "beverage". He noticed that not only was the color very yellow, but there were also various kinds of suspended particles floating in it.

No matter how you look at it.

Reason told him he should not "pass" this through his mouth.

After a long silence, Chen Yu set the glass down and forced a slight smile at the old lady, "Well, it looks quite nice. But I'll pass for now... No! Don't get mad! I meant, I would like to take it home to share with my family."

At these words, the old lady's anger turned to joy, and she danced with delight, "Ah— I have plenty more. Drink this now! I'll give you some to take with you when you leave."

"Then... then please prepare it for me first. I'm afraid we might forget when I leave."

"Alright, alright!"

Seeing Chen Yu's apparent accord and affection for her beverage, the old lady was overjoyed. She returned to the fridge and enthusiastically started rummaging through it.

"Tinkle, tinkle, clang" sounded incessantly.

Chen Yu took this opportunity to silently pour the liquid from the cup into a trash pile nearby.

"Hiss—"

With the accompaniment of green smoke.

The trash that the liquid touched was instantly corroded, creating a large hole.

Chen Yu: "Granny, your uric acid is quite high."

"Ah?" The old lady looked back, confused, "What did you say?"

"Nothing." Chen Yu showed the cup, "It tastes good."

"Ah— wonderful to hear you like it."

After five minutes, three large bottles of "Chilled Granny's Urine" were prepared for Chen Yu. The old lady then relaxed and sat on a heap of trash, wiping away non-existent sweat from her forehead, "We're neighbors, and neighbors are better than distant relatives. Come to me whenever you want to drink it at home."

Chen Yu: "Definitely."

"Ah— have you got anything else? If not, scram." The old lady seemed somewhat muddled and started to shoo him away.

"We haven't even started to discuss 'our' matter."

"Oh!" The old lady suddenly realized, "I've got a bad memory. What were we going to talk about again?"

"You mentioned it to me downstairs. What is 'destiny'?" Chen Yu straightened up, entering the main topic, "And what has your daughter arranged?"

"Did I talk about those things?" The old lady was baffled.

"You did."

"I shouldn't have said them so early. Worrysome. It's a spoiler."

Chen Yu: "..."

"But since I've already mentioned it, I might as well tell you everything." The old lady wiped off the bloodstains on her cheek (or rather, she smeared the blood into her wrinkles), scratched her head full of dandruff, and said, "Little Chen Yu, do you think one's life is predetermined?"

"What do you mean?"

"Exactly. It is predetermined. You came here today, to my room, all by destiny's design, orchestrated by my daughter."

Chen Yu: "..."

Old lady: "..."

Chen Yu: "Is that it?"

Old lady: "That's it."

"You didn't fully explain a damn thing!" After a moment of silence, Chen Yu suddenly roared.

The old lady was nonchalant, "If I explained everything, how could I continue to be the Riddle Woman?"

Chen Yu: "..."

After another lengthy silence, Chen Yu pondered for a while, then took out his phone, scrolled to the "Princess" of the Holy Temple's photo, and showed it to the old lady with a serious face, "Your daughter, this one, is it her?"

"Ah?" The old lady leaned in to take a closer look at the phone screen, shocked, "My daughter? Her?"

"Yes," Chen Yu nodded, "Is she your daughter? She's the current princess."

"Are you sick!" The old lady burst out in anger and slapped the phone away, "My darling daughter isn't even born yet!"

Chen Yu: "?"

"Whoosh!"

The old lady suddenly stood up, lifted her clothes, and exposed her slightly protruding belly, patting it, "She's still in my belly!"

Chen Yu: "???"

She tugged her messy, lion-maned white hair aside to reveal a title previously hidden by her hair—[The Sacred Pregnant Woman].

With a gloomy face and a string of curses: "That woman in your photo just looks slutty. How could she be my daughter?"

"..."

Chen Yu was completely numb.

An emaciated, disheveled, mentally eccentric old crone.
