The old man said,
"Whether it's possessing a corpse to return to life or soul possession, both require a strong soul body, and your ghost seems to be much weaker than the average ghost. If you want her not to become a living corpse that can't move after possessing a corpse to return to life, then think of ways to feed her more of the blood and flesh of extremely yin exotic beasts like the Fish Kui Beast, to stabilize her spirit. Only then will she be able to control her body easily after regaining a physical form, and be a true person!"
Gu Shi Yi prostrated himself on the ground upon hearing this,
"Thank you for your advice, old sir!"
After thinking for a moment, he continued,
"Old sir has given this humble one advice, for which I have no way to repay. Please allow me to feed the exotic beasts for one more day to thank you for your guidance!"
The old man looked at him with some surprise, then laughed heartily and said,
"Alright, alright, alright, you're pretty good at this. Off you go!"
Gu Shi Yi hurriedly carried the jar back to the backyard. It was another bustling day. The three-headed cow was very satisfied, the ill-tempered sheep knocked Gu Shi Yi over twice, and the angriest little monkey, seeing Gu Shi Yi eat three of its fruits, pounced on him and almost scratched his face, scaring him to run while screaming,
"Don't scratch! I'm not married yet!"
If my face were to be scratched, who would compensate me for my Brother Qiangsen!
After all the commotion throughout the day, until dusk, Gu Shi Yi cleaned the little shop inside and out, ready to leave. He bowed respectfully to the old man,
"Thank you, old sir. I dare not disturb your peace any longer. I shall take my leave now!"
The old man nodded and looked at him,
"Have you eaten the fruits again?"
Gu Shi Yi sheepishly grinned and slapped his own mouth,
"Well... the things here are just too good, I couldn't help myself... got greedy for a taste!"
The old man then asked,
"What did it taste like?"
"Like... chicken flavor... crisp and crunchy!"
The old man smiled slightly and said,
"The soup left in the jar is too good to waste; go heat it up and finish it!"
"Ah..."
Gu Shi Yi opened his mouth wide, somewhat unwillingly,
"But... that soup... it's got the poop of the three-headed cow in it!"
The old man said with a grin,
"Drink it, and I'll tell you a secret that will be of great benefit to you!"
"Benefit? Secret?"
The old man nodded. Gu Shi Yi thought for a moment and said,
"Alright! I'll eat it!"
He courageously resigned himself,
What a joke! Missing out on an incredible opportunity, I would regret it for a lifetime!
After spending two days together, Gu Shi Yi could see that the old man truly didn't care about harming him. Even if the old man didn't offer any benefits and insisted he drink the soup, he wouldn't dare make a peep and would have to finish it all!
Thus, Gu Shi Yi heated the soup again. The abdominal limbs of the Fish Kui Beast in the soup had already melted away. The aroma this time wasn't as strong as before, but it was still fragrant!
The little monkey leaped from the old man's shoulder onto Gu Shi Yi's,
"Squeak..."
It gesticulated at Gu Shi Yi, who said,
"Fine, I ate a few of your fruits. I'll share a mouthful of soup with you in return!"
So, with that one spoon, he took a mouthful and then fed the little monkey. He didn't mind the monkey, and the monkey didn't mind him. They finished the soup together. The old man watched with narrowed eyes and didn't speak until the soup was finished. Gu Shi Yi, knowing what was expected, washed the jar clean and then stood respectfully beside the old man,
"Old sir, the soup is finished!"
The old man, still smiling, asked,
"Do you know... you have a half-demon body?"
Gu Shi Yi replied,
"I'm aware, it should be passed down from my mother's lineage..."
"Hmm..."
The old man nodded and then asked,
"Do you know from which Great Demon your bloodline originates?"
Gu Shi Yi shook his head,
"This humble one does not know..."
The old man nodded and said,
"There are quite a few half-demons in this realm who are unaware of the origins of their bloodlines. It's not strange that you don't know..."
He paused and then looked at Gu Shi Yi strangely,
"Do you want to know which Demon Clan's bloodline you have?"
Gu Shi Yi, having listened to his questions, had a hunch and eagerly nodded,
"Yes, yes, yes! I really want to know! Has the old sir figured out what kind of Demon Clan bloodline I have?"
He looked at the old man with anticipation. The old man chuckled,
"I don't know either!"
I x! If you don't know, why the hell did you say anything! Are you playing with me!
If it weren't for being outmatched, Gu Shi Yi would have wanted to throw a punch!
As the old man looked at Gu Shi Yi, his nostrils flaring in and out, he chuckled and said,
