Let's debut, fairy!

Chapter 49 I Dreamed of You (Thanks to the guild leader "Don't Worry, I'll Think of a Solution")
A vast sea.

Two transparent figures flew swiftly close to the sea surface.

"Are you sure there really is a Su Tang?" Meng Bai thought about it more and more and felt it was unreliable. Where did a 19-year-old Su Tang suddenly come from?
“I did dream about Su Tang. She was 19 years old, her parents died early, her family was quite wealthy, and she was raised by her grandparents. Her grandfather passed away 19 years ago, her grandmother passed away a few days ago, and she herself passed away unexpectedly today.”

"Forget it, let's go take a look first." Meng Bai didn't ask any more questions; it was pointless to ask anyway.

After flying for a while, the two finally saw the island. Su Xintang suddenly said, "Let's fly around it."

"What's wrong?" Meng Bai looked at the island in front of him. The island didn't look very big from mid-air, so it probably wasn't the main island. It was likely the Penghu Islands, the one in "Grandma's Penghu Bay".

“There’s a large statue of a deity over there,” Su Xintang pointed in a direction.

"A statue?" Meng Bai looked in the direction she was pointing and indeed saw a statue in the distance.

Meng Bai recognized the statue; it was the famous Mazu.

After acquiring the Yin Spirit Soul, Meng Bai was able to see the incense offerings. The incense offerings to Mazu had even condensed into liquid, demonstrating the extent of Mazu's prosperity.

In fact, faith isn't just about the number of people; it also depends on the degree of devotion.

Just like the righteous gods like He Gu, they generally have only five or six million followers, but that's far more than five or six million fans.

"It's true that we have to take a longer route." Influenced by Su Xintang, Meng Bai now keeps his distance from the gods of Earth, especially such powerful deities.

After saying that, the two moved a little further apart.

After flying for a short while, a long coastline came into view.

Staying close to the ground, the two headed straight for the island.

After flying for a while, the two stopped over a rural area.

It was afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and the surrounding rice paddies and hills seemed not much different from the countryside on the mainland.

However, Meng Bai didn't have a GPS and didn't dare to take out his phone and randomly turn on navigation, so he didn't know his exact location.

Floating in the air, Meng Bai looked around and asked, "Are you sure this is the place?"

"It should be." Su Xintang nodded.

“But you said Su Tang’s family is quite wealthy. It doesn’t seem like there are any very wealthy families here.”

"Let's look for it."

The two of them circled the village several times like two birds, when Su Xintang suddenly pointed to a courtyard and said, "It looks like it's over there."

After saying that, she took Meng Bai and flew directly to the top of the courtyard wall to stand there.

Looking at the somewhat dilapidated but clean little building, Meng Bai was about to say something when an old woman came out carrying a basket.

The old lady was wearing reading glasses, her hair was neatly combed, and her clothes were very clean.

After coming out, she slowly walked to the bamboo chair under the tree in the courtyard and sat down, holding a needle and thread from a basket and embroidering something.

"Who is this?"

"I don't recognize her. Could it be Grandma?" Su Xintang wasn't sure; they didn't look very alike.

"Didn't you say the old man had passed away?"

"I don't know how to say it." Su Xintang shook her head. The face of the old woman in her dream was gradually blurring and began to overlap with the one in front of her.

Meng Bai pondered for a moment, then suddenly guessed, "Is it possible that Grandma and Su Tang were each other's only family, and Su Tang suddenly passed away? Grandma missed her granddaughter, so she connected with your dream?"

Or perhaps Su Tang is in the hospital with a terminal illness, and she's worried about her grandmother, so she prayed to God that someone would come and take care of her. That's why you sensed it?

“That makes some sense.” Su Xintang thought it made sense; this kind of thing seemed to be more in line with the “divine way.”

But just then, a young woman came out of the house.

The girl walked straight to the old woman's side and sat down, then chatted casually about everyday things.

This scene made Meng Bai overturn his previous guess, and he said, "This can't be Su Tang, can it? She doesn't look like you at all."

"I never looked in a mirror in my dreams."

"So, neither of them died. Could what you dreamed of be something from the future? In the future, this girl is going to study in mainland China, and then this old lady is going to suddenly suffer a cerebral hemorrhage and die?" "Isn't that just standing by and watching someone die, killing them and taking their place?" Su Xintang frowned. She couldn't do something like that.

Meng Bai frowned as well; he couldn't do this either.

There's room for debate about refusing to help someone in distress, but to watch an entire family die and then try to claim their identity is utterly absurd.

Just then, another middle-aged man arrived outside the courtyard.

The man pushed the door open and said to the old woman, "Grandma, I have to tell you, you need to see a doctor."

The embroidering grandmother looked up at the man, then lowered her head again and asked, "Why do we need to see a doctor?"

"You keep talking nonsense every day, everyone is worried about you." The man said anxiously.

"I'm not going. I'm so young, why should I see a doctor?" Grandma rubbed the needle on her head and continued embroidering methodically.

"You're talking nonsense again." The man stood with his hands on his hips, turning around anxiously.

The girl sitting next to the grandmother also sighed and joined in the persuasion.

Through the conversation, we learn that they are a father and daughter, and they are Grandma's neighbors.

The two tried to persuade her for a while, but the old lady kept giving the same answer. Helpless, they walked out one after the other.

Meng Bai and Su Xintang exchanged a glance and then followed.

After walking a little further away, the girl whispered, "What should we do? It's gotten worse and worse in the last year or two. She just told me that she has a granddaughter in mainland China. Doesn't she not even have any children? Where did she get a granddaughter?"

“I don’t understand. Last year, she showed me her son’s and granddaughter’s ID cards. I suspect those ID cards are from ghost populations created during the voting years ago.” The man scratched his bald head.

She then cursed, "Ganlin's mother, good people never get good rewards! Grandma has been here for over ten years and has always been kind to everyone, how did she end up with this kind of disease?"

"How about we send Grandma to visit relatives on the mainland? She's been talking about it for years."

"Where did she go to visit relatives? I heard that her parents died a long time ago, and she came with her grandparents. Now that they are so old and confused, where can she visit relatives?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Bai and Su Xintang exchanged a glance and then floated back to the courtyard.

Just as they were about to go inside to take a look, the old woman seemed to sense something, stopped what she was doing, and slowly raised her head to look at the two of them.

This action made Meng Bai and Su Xintang stop in their tracks.

"The invisibility glitch has failed?"

"No."

"You've arrived?" Grandma suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Meng Bai's hair stood on end.

What do you mean?
Did you know we were coming?

Just then, Meng Bai saw a point of light on Grandma's shoulder, which echoed the light on Su Xintang's body.

Sensing something, Meng Bai reached out and grabbed at the point of light on Grandma's body, only to see it transform into a butterfly in his palm.

"Butterfly?" Meng Bai and Su Xintang were taken aback.

Before she could figure out what the butterfly was, she heard her grandmother looking at Su Xintang and saying, "You are so beautiful. I was not nearly as beautiful as you when I was young."

Meng Bai and Su Xintang exchanged a glance, and for the time being, they did not study the butterfly.

The two first dispelled their invisibility spells to conserve their magical energy, and then Su Xintang asked, "Do you recognize me?"

"I know you. I've dreamt about you."

"Dreaming about me?"

"Grandma, what did you dream about?"

“I dreamt that I became a 19-year-old young man named… Su Tang,” Grandma said, putting down her needlework.
