Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 123 The Living Dead Ghost

"Tell me about my parents and my grandfather. I think I'm old enough to know about my family's past."

He did not choose to enter a state of mind to control his emotions, so the tone of this sentence sounded low and a little sad.

After hearing this, the old butler saw that the young master lowered his head, so he wiped away his tears, reached out and held him in his arms, and told him about the past under the moonlight.

"Young Master, I will start with the story of the Master..."

……

The night passed.

In the morning, the sky is bright.

Lin Rong woke up from her deep sleep and found herself lying on the bed, wearing comfortable pajamas.

"Really? I fell asleep while lying in Grandpa Yu's arms last night, listening to him?"

I threw back the quilt and climbed out of bed. Just as I was about to get out of bed, I saw the old butler pushing the door open with breakfast in his hand.

"Young Master, you're awake."

The old butler placed the breakfast on the table, walked to the bed and sat down, skillfully picked up the white towel that had been prepared on the bedside table, wet it in the washbasin filled with warm water, wrung it dry, and then wiped the young master's sleepy face.

Although he was a time traveler, Lin Rong had long been accustomed to these things over the years. He sat on the bed blankly, allowing the old housekeeper to greet his face with a warm, wet towel.

A few minutes later.

"Pfft~"

Lin Rong spat out the mouthwash in his mouth and took the handkerchief handed to him by the old housekeeper to wipe the remaining water stains around his mouth.

Lin Rong casually threw the used handkerchief into the trash can, looked at the old housekeeper, and asked in a somewhat nervous tone:
"Grandpa Yu, I didn't talk in my sleep last night, did I?"

"Oh? Young Master, do you have the habit of talking in your sleep? How come I don't know?"

As he said this, the old butler frowned and searched his memory to see if the young master had ever talked in his sleep.

Hearing this, Lin Rong was no longer nervous and thought to himself:

"It's fine if it doesn't, it's fine if it doesn't."

Last night, he dreamed of scenes from his previous life. If he talked in his sleep, his identity as a time traveler would be revealed.

Although he knew that due to the affection they had for each other for so many years, even if the old butler knew of his identity as a time traveler, he would still treat him as usual.

But for this kind of thing, we should try our best not to let the old housekeeper know about it.

If the time is right one day in the future, he will consider telling Grandpa Yu about his identity as a time traveler.

Seeing that the old butler was still thinking about this matter, Lin Rong pulled his beard and said:
"Okay, Grandpa Yu, don't think too much, I'm just talking casually."

"I'm hungry now, you should bring breakfast over first."

After hearing this, the old housekeeper stopped thinking about it, turned around, brought the breakfast on the table to the bed, and told an interesting story:
"Young Master, when I went to the kitchen to make breakfast this morning, I saw Yue Guan fiddling with something in the kitchen."

"From what I can see, it was Dugu Bo who asked Yue Guan to cook for him. However, this guy obviously had never cooked before and almost set the kitchen on fire."

"In the end, Yue Guan learned something from watching the old slave making breakfast, and then he followed his example and managed to make a decent meal."

"Uh..." Lin Rong swallowed the snack in his mouth, recalled what happened last night, and complained speechlessly:
"He used his hands to wash his feet last night, and he cooked with them this morning. What was going on in Dugu Bo's mind? How could he eat such food? Wouldn't he feel disgusted?"

……

Dining room on the first floor.

Dugu Bo sat at the dinner table, looking at the black dish in front of him, his face full of black lines, and asked:

"You call this a golden scroll? Are you kidding me?"

Across the table, Yue Guan slammed the table hard upon hearing this and refuted without any hesitation:
"Old... This is the first time in my life that I've cooked in the kitchen. I'm already gifted to be able to cook like this. Just be content!"

"Besides, you asked me to cook. The snacks are right here. Don't be ungrateful."

"You know, you are the first person in the world who has the honor of tasting the snacks I made. This is an honor that even old ghosts don't have."

"Anyway, I've prepared the breakfast you wanted. If you like it, eat it. If you don't want to eat it, forget it!"

"However, if you don't eat, I will risk giving up the opportunity to practice my unique skills and will not obey your orders anymore."

After saying that, Yue Guan imitated Dugu Bo's behavior last night and leaned back on the chair in a very arrogant manner.

"Damn it!" Dugu Bo cursed inwardly. In order to be able to order Yue Guan to do things in the future, he picked up a piece of black pastry with a look of disgust, gritted his teeth and swallowed it.

When Lin Rong put on her clothes with the help of the old housekeeper and walked downstairs, she saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh in her heart:

"As expected of you, you are the old poisoner. This nickname is not for nothing. Your ability to resist poison is really strong. You can even eat this."

Walking to the dining table and finding a chair to sit down, Lin Rong looked at Dugu Bo's expression, which did not change, pointed at the black dish on the table, and asked curiously:

"Don't you think this thing tastes bad at all?" Dugu Bo did not answer after hearing this. Instead, he silently picked up a glass of water and drank it all, answering the question with his action.

Seeing this, Lin Rong immediately understood.

"Okay, I understand."

In fact, Yue Guan also knew what his food tasted like. After all, as the person who made this dish of dessert, he had tasted a piece of it himself.

Precisely because he knew how it tasted, he would try every possible means to make Dugu Bo eat it.

Moreover, if it was Dugu Bo who complained about the taste after eating, he would definitely refute it, but the one who started to complain was his current master, so Yue Guan gave up the idea of ​​refutation.

In order to get into the topic, Yue Guan looked around, pretended to have noticed something, and asked curiously:
"Strange, the old ghost never sleeps in, why hasn't he come down yet?"

Although he asked this, Yue Guan actually knew the reason why the ghost absorbed the Narcissus jade bones last night, and was still in meditation and practice at this moment.

Because his room was right next to the ghost's, he could easily sense the unique scent of the magical herbs emanating from the ghost's room.

Originally, Yue Guan also wanted to absorb the Qirong Tongtianju, but he changed his mind and realized that he had just made a breakthrough and his aura could not be completely restrained, so he would definitely not be able to hide it from the old poisonous creature's eyes.

Who knows if the old poisonous creature will become even more jealous and order him around after learning about his breakthrough.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Yue Guan decided to get the approval of the old poison first in the next few days. It would not be too late to absorb the Qirong Tongtianju after that.

……

The second floor.

The old ghost in Yueguankou underwent significant changes in his body after absorbing the Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bones.

Because of the bizarre experience in childhood, the ghost's body was abnormally thin and his skin was as pale as a person who had drowned, without any blood color.

At this moment, under the effect of Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone Medicine's nourishing and tendon-replenishing effect, the ghost's dead-but-dead tendons and bones were nourished, and his thin body returned to normal shape.

At the same time, under the effect of the Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone Medicine's ability to open the eight extraordinary meridians, the ghost's body gradually began to regain the activity of a living person from the state of the living dead.

The face, which was as pale as a deathly person, began to have a rosy tint.

Ever since the bizarre resurrection from the dead, the ghost no longer had any body temperature, but now its cold body has also risen to the temperature of a living person.

When the ghost finished his meditation and opened his eyes, his empty eyes actually sparkled with a lively luster.

After feeling the incredible changes in himself, Guimei scratched the skin on the palm of his hand with his sharp fingertips, and immediately a slight pain appeared in his perception.

"It's been so many years, I can't even remember how long it's been since I last felt pain, so long that I almost forgot what pain feels like."

The ghost said happily, and his tone was no longer as cold and ruthless as before, but turned back into a normal human voice.

"Immortal product, immortal product, with such miraculous effects, it is indeed worthy of the title of immortal product."

"No wonder Juhuaguan praises these immortal herbs so highly and wants to praise them to the sky. The effect of this Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone is indeed worthy of Juhuaguan's boasting."

"Once my body is fully restored to normal under the effect of Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone, my soul power cultivation will be able to break through to level ninety-six naturally."

The medicinal power of Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone dissolved into his flesh, blood, and bones, but due to his special physique, it could only be absorbed slowly.

Guimei estimated that this process would probably last for half a year.

He has been a living dead for so long, it’s only half a year, he can afford to wait.

He got off the bed and came to a dressing mirror. Looking at his changed self in the mirror, the ghost gently stroked his flushed face and couldn't help saying:

"It has changed so much, I don't know if Juhuaguan is still recognizable."

"Let's go downstairs and take a look."

First floor.

Hearing footsteps coming from the stairs, Yue Guan, who was sitting in the dining room, immediately looked over.

"Old Ghost... Who are you? Old Ghost?"

Looking at the well-proportioned, fair-skinned, and handsome middle-aged man in front of him, Yue Guan jumped up from his chair, widened his eyes, and said in disbelief:

"No, that's impossible. I remember that Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone is not some magical beauty drug. How did you become like this? You are so much more handsome than me!"

When he said this, his tone became sour.

Seeing Yue Guan's big reaction, Dugu Bo, who was sitting next to him, turned his head curiously, watching the ghost with a changed appearance walk to the table, and thought to himself:

"Is this guy really an old ghost? But the 'Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone', as soon as I heard it, I knew it was some rare treasure they got from the adults."

"But you have quite a few good things in your hands. Originally, there was the unknown white herb that looked like a swan's neck, and now there is also the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone."

"It's just that Juhuaguan swept my medicinal garden clean, including the roots and soil, and didn't find the herbs that made the old ghost change so much. So where did you get these things, sir?"
