Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1189 - 215:

The states of falling into a demonic trance and a heart demon backlash are essentially results. A sensible person would instinctively stop once they sense something is wrong, especially him.

Aunt Liu also felt that her diagnosis was somewhat absurd, but she reiterated, "Perhaps it’s my lack of knowledge, but this is the result I came to."

If that young man wasn’t Li Zhiyuan, but someone else, Aunt Liu would probably have forcibly subdued him by now.

There’s no choice; a guy with a heart demon backlash is just too unstable and dangerous, no one can predict what he might do next.

At this moment, Alii came out of the East Room, holding two plaques of different materials.

Liu Yumei raised her hand and called, "Alii?"

Alii stopped and looked at her grandmother.

Liu Yumei: "Never mind, it’s nothing, you go ahead with your work."

Alii continued with the plaques up the stairs.

Aunt Liu: "Old lady..."

Liu Yumei lowered her head, sipped her tea, and said calmly, "It’s nothing."

Aunt Liu: "What I mean is, shouldn’t we do a more specific examination, after all, Xiao Yuan is..."

Liu Yumei shook her head: "No need, Xiao Yuan is still Xiao Yuan. If he changed, he might fool others, but not Alii." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Aunt Liu paused for a moment before nodding: "Indeed."

Liu Yumei: "Everyone has their own secrets, Xiao Yuan more so. I believe he can handle it."

Aunt Liu: "I understand, then I’ll prepare some calming herbal soups for him."

Liu Yumei: "Alright."

Aunt Liu: "One more thing, didn’t Ali mention the other day about arranging the funeral for that family in Xigou Village?"

"Yes, what’s up with that?"

"I’m curious why Xiao Yuan was so cautious and restrained."

"Not just this time, but the last time under the Peach Forest when that one turned over for a nap, wasn’t it the same?"

"It’s just a few lives... anyway, they deserved it. I feel there’s no need for such a hassle and caution."

"Ah Ting, you haven’t gone into the Jiang."

"Yes."

"Do not do evil no matter how small; do you think this saying is meant for the protected weak?

It’s like playing Go; every move must be ’meticulously carved,’ for a random move might turn into one’s flaw at any moment.

Moreover, restraint and caution, don’t they denote a larger scheme or plan?"

Aunt Liu: "It seems that not having ventured into the Jiang means not being able to deeply understand some matters; ultimately, it’s a regret."

Liu Yumei: "No one’s stopping you, you can go light a lamp now, it’s not too late."

Aunt Liu: "That’s not right, if I venture into the Jiang, who will cook for you?"

Liu Yumei lightly patted her mouth:

"It’s the fault of my mouth, preventing the Liu family from bringing about a Dragon King."

...

This morning, Li Sanjiang wandered a bit farther; mainly because after loosening his body, not only did the discomfort from last night’s sleepiness vanish, he actually felt more energetic.

Li Zhiyuan knew it was because he brought back that dream, and Luck started restoring Grandmaster’s health.

Once a person truly ages, their body gradually transitions from science to mysticism.

A healthy body might suddenly falter, while those riddled with ailments might persist.

As he walked further, Li Sanjiang realized he had truly wandered far, even past the village. At the neighboring village’s convenience store, he bought a soda for Xiao Yuan, while he asked for a bowl of water.

His face was well-known in the neighboring village too; the shopkeeper was polite, not only did he waive the soda charge, but also specially prepared a bowl of brown sugar water for him.

Li Sanjiang sat on a stone stool at the convenience store’s entrance, with Xiao Yuan beside him.

The grandfather and grandson sat and sipped, watching the constant passing of people and vehicles on the village road.

After drinking, Li Sanjiang handed Li Zhiyuan a bill: "Go, buy some cigarettes for Grandmaster."

Li Zhiyuan took the bowl from Grandmaster, along with his own finished soda bottle, and returned them to the convenience store counter. After buying the cigarettes, he shook the change in his hand at Grandmaster, then casually slipped it into his own pocket.

"Hahaha!"

For some reason, a genuine happiness welled up in Li Sanjiang’s heart.

He bent down and said, "Come, Little Yuanhou, Grandmaster will carry you back."

Li Zhiyuan climbed onto Li Sanjiang’s back.

Though the old man was aged, his back was still as sturdy and upright as a pine tree, unlike Mr. Shan, who had already begun to shrink.

As Li Sanjiang walked, he hummed a segment from a storytelling session on the radio about Water Margin.

Each time Li Sanjiang got stuck, Li Zhiyuan would promptly remind him from his back, helping him continue.

Walking on like this, they saw their home.

A familiar figure was also walking up ahead on the village road.

"Mr. Li, Brother Xiao Yuan!"

Lin Shuyou, carrying a hiking backpack and laden with local specialties in both hands, began running upon spotting them.

After just a few steps, the bag tore, spilling the contents all over. In his overly excited state, he didn’t immediately realize it and only noticed when his hands felt lighter after a stretch of running, letting out an "oh" and ran back to collect them.

Li Sanjiang: "Zhuangzhuang being able to get into college, that’s understandable to Grandmaster. I remember he was really diligent and hardworking that year. But this You Hou is a university student too, for the life of me, I can’t comprehend it.

Still, You Hou is indeed a good person, upright and reliable.

If his hometown weren’t Fujian, too far, I’d want to arrange a marriage for him. Zhuangzhuang’s already started dating.

By the way, what kind of girls does You Hou like?"

Li Zhiyuan: "He likes girls like Zhou Yunyun."

In the previous wave, Ah You had been frequently manipulated by Zhao Yi. Though every time he surrendered just after half of Zhao Yi’s words, Li Zhiyuan, with his keen hearing, heard it all and naturally guessed it too.
