Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies-Chapter 554: Live A Good Life
Gao Shuwei released her wrist, shook his head, and replied, "No. I'm already dead in your world."
Sensing a deeper meaning in his words, Yao Ran asked, "You mean you are still alive in another world?"
Gao Shuwei nodded, then glanced at the man lying on the bed and explained, "That is my real body. Actually, I shouldn't be able to speak with you anymore after completing my mission, but I made a transaction with the owner of your world."
Yao Ran's eyes flickered with curiosity as she asked, "The owner of my world?"
Gao Shuwei replied, "Yes. You can call him God or Heaven."
"What kind of transaction?" Yao Ran asked again after a moment of silence.
After her words fell, Gao Shuwei opened his palm, revealing a small green seed.
"This is my reward for completing the mission. If I take it back to my world, it can be exchanged for a great deal of money. However, I'm already the number one wealthy person in my world, so I don't need it."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "Instead, I'm giving it to you. You can plant this seed in your world, and it will assist in the world's recovery. In exchange, all I ask is for you to give me Grandfather."
Yao Ran was momentarily confused by his words. "Grandfather has already passed away. How could I give him to you?"
Gao Shuwei smiled and replied, "You don't need to worry about that. I only need your agreement. Once you agree, this seed will be yours."

Yao Ran narrowed her eyes, studying Gao Shuwei's expression carefully. After a long silence, she asked, "Why do you want Grandfather?"
Gao Shuwei looked up at the sky through the windows, his expression distant. "In your world, I was given the identity of an orphan. But in my world, I'm the richest man alive… yet I lost my entire family at a young age."
He exhaled softly before continuing, "Your grandfather was the only person who treated me with genuine kindness in your world."
"I have always treated him as my own grandfather. Since he has already passed away here, I requested the owner of your world to send him to mine and revive him—as my grandfather."
Looking back at Yao Ran, he added, "If you agree, you will be able to restore your world, and I will have a family again. It's a win-win situation for both of us. Besides, don't you want to save our grandfather?"
He paused before asking, "Xiao Ran, will you give me Grandfather in exchange for this seed?"
Yao Ran knew there was nothing she could do to change the fact that her grandfather was gone.
She clenched her hands tightly before glaring at Gao Shuwei and threatened, "If you dare to mistreat Grandfather in any way, I will find a way to settle the score with you."
Gao Shuwei's eyes lit up at her words. Handing over the green seed, he reassured her, "Don't worry. I will take good care of our Grandfather. Thank you, Xiao Ran, for fulfilling my wish."
As he spoke, the scenery around them began to distort. Seeing this, Gao Shuwei gently patted Yao Ran's head. He smiled and said, "Goodbye, Xiao Ran. I hope you find happiness and live well."
Hearing this, Yao Ran hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and hugging him.
Startled by her sudden hug, Gao Shuwei was slow to react. Before he could come back to his senses, Yao Ran said, "Live a good life, Elder Brother."
Hearing this, the corners of Gao Shuwei's lips curved up. Before everything faded into fog, Yao Ran heard his gentle voice one last time.
"I will."
Waking up from her dream, Yao Ran opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling. After a while, she sat up and unclenched her hand. Looking at the small green seed resting in her palm, she smiled.
Noticing that Long Yu was still asleep beside her, Yao Ran carefully got out of bed without making a sound. She quietly left the bedroom and headed to the rooftop.
As she pushed open the rooftop door, the chill morning breeze brushed over her, instantly clearing her mind. Seeing that no one was around, she walked up to the railing.
As the first rays of sunlight broke through the clouds on the eastern horizon, illuminating Colossal City below, Yao Ran murmured, "Don't worry, Elder Brother. I will live a good life."
While Yao Ran watched the sunrise, Long Yu woke up. Not seeing her by his side, he asked, "Ran Ran, are you in the bathroom?"
Receiving no response, Long Yu quickly put on his clothes and searched for her. Soon, he sensed her aura on the rooftop. Curious as to why she had gone up there so early, Long Yu made his way upstairs.
Seeing the rooftop door slightly open, he pushed it open and stepped outside—only to find Yao Ran standing by the railing, bathed in the golden morning light.
Long Yu watched her for a moment before softly calling out, "Ran Ran."
Hearing his voice, Yao Ran turned around and smiled. "A Yu, good morning."
Seeing the woman he had loved for two lifetimes smile at him, Long Yu felt warmth spread through his heart. He walked up to her, pulled her into his embrace, and kissed her lips.
With their breaths intertwined, Long Yu whispered softly, "Ran Ran, please marry me."
Caught off guard by his sudden proposal, Yao Ran raised an eyebrow and said, "We can't get a marriage certificate. How could I marry you?"
Long Yu pondered for a moment before replying, "I heard that Commander Fu and the senior officers have decided to take care of that issue. In two weeks, those who want to register for marriage or birth certificates can go to the public office and get their documents."
He kissed her again and added, "Ran Ran, we can go register our marriage when the public office opens later. After that, we can invite all our friends and hold a wedding banquet."
Seeing that Yao Ran remained silent, Long Yu pouted. "Ran Ran, you already slept and lived with me for more than a year. Are you planning not to take responsibility after taking away my innocence?"
At his words, Yao Ran chuckled. She shook her head and said, "A Yu, you are really shameless. We just sleep together, nothing more. How can you say it like I have done something to you?"
After she said that, Long Yu smiled and nodded in agreement. "You are right. Since you have said that, then let's just do it—just in case you decide you don't want me anymore."
Before Yao Ran could protest, Long Yu scooped her up in his arms, kissing her as he carried her back to their bedroom.
Soon, behind the closed door, soft whispers and laughter filled the room. As the two lovers became entwined in passionate love, the world slowly awakened from its long dream–basking in the sunlight.
