Yenma was currently staring at the empty pond before him.
Although Yenma couldn't be considered as extremely smart…. He was not extremely dull either. He had figured out that the "disappeared pond and fishes" had somehow made him younger and muscular.
"Hmm.. looks like this can be considered as my fortune? Atleast I wouldn't have to worry about dying due to old age for now~", Yenma merrily hummed as he proceeded back to the entrance of the cave.
After he fell previously into this weird cave, Yenma being an old man then couldn't climb his way back out….but the times had now changed! Yenma believed that given his greek god-like body, he could easily climb his way back out.
After a couple of hours Yenma had already reached the entrance of the cave and strangely enough he didn't feel tired throughout the journey, in fact he felt even more energized.
Like a sleek leopard, Yenma easily climbed his way out of the pit and this didn't even wear him down, in fact it was like a walk in the park for him.
To Yenma his new found body was full of mysteries and this always kept him enthralled.
'This pit… I need to cover it somehow.. maybe later when I can cultivate then the Spiritual Crystals in the cave could help me a lot in my cultivation…', Yenma pondered before lifting up some nearby medium-sized rocks with ease and covering the entrance of the pit with them.
"Huh… a pit full of rocks in middle of a mountainous forest…. I just made it look even more suspicious..", Yenma laughed to himself as he then proceeded to put some dry leaves and mud to cover the area around the pit.
If Yenma had the proper tools he could have completed the task with ease, but now he was forced to use his hands to gather the soil and mud to cover the pit, it took him quite a while to get the job done.
.
'Perfect..!!', as Yenma looked at the covered pit which looked as if it had merged with the rest of the surroundings, he felt like giving himself a pat in the back.
'...Now I should try to find some clothes for myself..', after the incident at the pond, Yenma found out that not only had he become young and muscular…. He was in fact somehow naked!
But this didn't bother Yenma too much for some reason.
'I was a dog in my previous life… I didn't wear any clothes then..did I? So why should I suddenly care about it now?', although Yenma justified himself in his own way, he nevertheless plucked out some leaves and branches to cover his private parts.
It took him a day before he reached the outskirts of the Sirgil Village.
.
Sirgil Village was a simple village where people made their livelihood from farming and hunting. They didn't have much contact with rest of the world as this village was pretty isolated from the nearby villages and towns.
Yenma rubbed his chin as he looked at the village in the horizon, 'The previous owner of this body was from this village and was from a prominent family there…. Looks like I should check it out…'
.
Yenma proceeded towards the Tin family household in the village. Since Yenma had the memories of the previous owner of the body, he was well aware of all the sorrows and hardships the latter had experienced.
.
.
Looking at the carved: "Tin Family Residence" at the entrance of the gate, Yenma for some reason felt nostalgic and happy. Yenma had not only inherited the previous body owner's memories but also a bit of his feelings and longings.
Before Yenma could realize what was happening, he found many guards around the entrance glare and surround him.
.
"Huh….?", Yenma spoke out.
"Intruder! How dare you show up naked in front of the village head's residence! Are you trying to disrespect the village head!?", One of the guards shouted out.
"Are you blind?.. I'm not naked.. I have covered my lower-half with leaves", Yenma replied indignantly as if he had suffered some great injustice.
