I am an insect

Ji Ye smiled wryly. How could he explain this to her? He couldn't very well say that he was only temporarily using her husband's body and that he wasn't the real Wang Yecheng now.

"Of course not. We've been married for so many years, don't you know what kind of person I am?"

Wu Yumei snorted and said, "In the past, I would have believed you didn't have any other women, but now I know you've been hiding a lot from me. Like Qinshu said, you can take on a group of thugs by yourself and even break a knife. I'm not stupid; do you think I can still believe you're the same Wang Yecheng from before?"

Ji Ye frowned. Did this woman suspect him?

"What do you mean?" Ji Ye asked back.

"I know you must have had some reason for hiding your identity and keeping it a secret for so long. We've been married for so many years, and I didn't even know..." Wu Yumei sighed as she spoke, her eyes reddening. She felt wronged, knowing that her husband had a special identity and had been deceiving her for over a decade.

She felt increasingly aggrieved after thinking about how she had suffered alongside him for over a decade without enjoying any happiness, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Judging from Wang Yecheng's skills, he is definitely not an ordinary person. How could someone like that be penniless? To put it bluntly, it was all a disguise. In the end, only he and his son suffered because of him.

Looking at Wu Yumei's appearance, Ji Ye didn't know how to explain. After thinking for a while, he sighed and said, "I have indeed been feeling unwell these past few days. I'll be fine in a few days. You've suffered so much these past years. I promise you, I will make sure you and your son live a good life from now on. I will never lie to you."

Hearing Wang Yecheng say this, Wu Yumei finally raised her head and asked, "Is what you said true?"

Ji Ye nodded affirmatively. Wu Yumei thought for a moment before saying, "Alright, I'll trust you this time. We'll see how you perform after that." Only then did she let him leave.

Back in the second bedroom, Ji Ye wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and gave a wry smile.

"Facing Wu Yumei every day is a headache. I need to find an excuse. I might as well say I'm going on a long business trip and won't be going home for a while."

Having not slept well last night, Ji Ye fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. When he woke up, it was already late at night. After confirming that Wu Yumei and Wang Qinshu were both asleep, he quietly went to the rooftop again, faced the moonlight, and began to try to enter a meditative state.

Although my mind was still full of distracting thoughts and I couldn't completely forget myself, after several attempts, I finally slowly entered a meditative state, guiding the power of my mind into my body with each breath.

This time, Ji Ye meditated for a long time. When he opened his eyes, the sky in the distance was beginning to lighten.

"This time the effect is good..." Ji Ye muttered to himself, feeling his body full of power. The muscles he had strained when he escaped from Kongoji Temple last night had basically recovered. He stretched out his right hand, and the black hook extended outward. The hook, which could originally extend half a meter out of his body, had now grown a few centimeters longer, and the color of its surface had become darker.

Ji Ye reached out and touched the black hook, gently stroking it, and could feel the powerful energy contained within.

"I've been practicing according to the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic these past few days, and the results have been quite good. If I keep at it, it won't be long before I can easily break free from Wang Yecheng's body."

Previously, if he wanted to get rid of Li Hao's body, Li Hao needed to be in an extremely weak state, because the body has a strong binding force on the mind.

Of course, this is also because Ji Ye's mental body is not strong enough. In the past few days of cultivation, absorbing and refining the mental power between heaven and earth, Ji Ye's mental body is getting stronger every day. If this continues, even if Wang Yecheng's body is not in a weak state in the future, he will have the hope of getting rid of the body's constraints on him.

At that time, he could easily choose to possess or leave a human body, and he would no longer have to fear the forces that might exist behind the white-hatted man, because he could easily change bodies, and no matter how powerful the other party was, they would have no way of tracking him down.

When Ji Ye got home, Wu Yumei was already busy in the kitchen, making pancakes and boiling eggs. Ji Ye smelled the aroma of the pancakes and felt a little hungry.

Wu Yumei was no longer surprised that Ji Ye had returned from outside, after all, Wang Yecheng was now a mysterious figure in her mind.

After waking Wang Qinshu, the three of them ate breakfast and then went out together to "Jin Gang Zhi Temple". This was a vow that Wu Yumei had made to the Bodhisattva. Now that Wang Qinshu's matter had been peacefully resolved, she needed to take her family to "Jin Gang Zhi Temple" to fulfill her vow.

Ji Ye thought of the strange scene at "Kongoji Temple" last night and wanted to go and see for himself again today.

After all, he had only peeked through the crack in the door from outside the main hall last night. Now it was daytime, so he wasn't afraid of anything hidden inside the statue of Vajrabodhi Bodhisattva causing trouble.

The three of them took a car to the "King Kong Zhi Temple". This "King Kong Zhi Temple" is famous far and wide. It was only around nine o'clock in the morning, but there were already quite a few people. Some of them were believers who came to burn incense and worship Buddha, but most of them were tourists.

Ji Ye and Wang Qinshu followed Wu Yumei into the temple. Wu Yumei bought incense and candles and bowed to the statues she saw. Ji Ye just followed silently behind, his mind focused on the statue of Vajrabodhi Bodhisattva in the central hall.

As they walked further in and approached the main hall, Ji Ye heard the sound of chanting scriptures coming from inside.

At this moment, the two large doors of the main hall were fully open, and he could see from afar a group of people inside the hall, led by an elderly monk, circling around the Vajrabodhi Bodhisattva statue inside the hall, chanting scriptures as they went.

"This is a circumambulation of the Buddha, which only happens once in a long while. We just happened to come here today, which is a good omen. Let's join in too," Wu Yumei said excitedly.

Ji Ye understood that circumambulating the Buddha meant walking around the Buddha statue, which was a way to express respect, as well as a way to accumulate merit and pray.

At this moment, among the group of people circumambulating the Buddha in the main hall, the leaders were a few monks, and the rest were believers who came to burn incense and worship the Buddha.

Ji Ye stopped outside the main hall, silently watching the scene inside. His feet seemed rooted to the spot, and he dared not approach the hall at all.

Ordinary people might not be able to see it, but in his eyes he saw a terrifying and bizarre scene: the elderly monk at the head of the group seemed to have his body fused with a giant octopus, with giant tentacles all around his body.

He chanted scriptures as he circled the statue, while the giant tentacles extending from his body continuously passed through the statue and spread in all directions.

These giant tentacles are somewhat similar to the giant tentacles that appeared inside the white-hatted man's body, but compared to the old monk's tentacles, the white-hatted man's tentacles are simply insignificant.

As the chanting of scriptures continued and people circled the statue, the monks and believers following behind the elderly monk released a faint but powerful force of thought—their faith.

More and more giant tentacles grew from the old monk's body. These tentacles were like giant pythons. They slithered around the group. Ji Ye saw Wu Yumei join one of them and come to the back of the group. One of the giant tentacles wrapped around Wu Yumei's body and slowly began to wriggle on her body.
