Before fleeing famine, marry a playboy!

"Eh? The fur ball has grown horns on its head." Xie Shi reached out and touched the newly grown small nubs of flesh on the fur ball's head. They were furry and the same color as its body, with a hint of green.

Li Yuening took a look and said, "The hair ball was not fully developed in the egg, and I accidentally split it with my sword.

Now it seems that sleep can help it recover. "

Xie Shi knew this. Looking at the pair of small horns, he chuckled, "It's becoming more and more like the dragon in the legend. The only thing missing is two long whiskers."

The two of them retreated from the Hantan Cave while talking.

In order not to attract attention during the day, the two of them ate some food at a roadside stall.

It was still early in the space, so Xie Shi asked Li Yuening, "Are you hungry?"

Li Yuening nodded.

"You need to rest later. I'll make some easy-to-digest food when we get back."

"Well, I'll take care of what happened these days." Li Yuening handed the two drops of stone milk she had just left to Xie Shi.

"This is for you. You are about to advance, and it will be smoother with the help of stone milk."

Xie Shi took the jade bottle. He knew that this was extremely precious stone milk, the output was extremely rare, and it was saved from Mao Qiu.

Xie Shi was deeply moved, "Thank you!"

Li Yuening, "You're welcome, do we still need to be so polite to each other?

Oh, and I have one more thing to tell you. The fruits on the fruit trees we planted earlier are already ripe."

Xie Shi's eyes lit up, remembering that he had mentioned before that he wanted to make fruit wine.

He smiled and asked, "Do you want me to make wine?"

Li Yuening thought about the apricot blossom wine she had drunk before, and a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes. "There are too many fruits, and I can't finish them all at once.

It would make a good wine, too.”

Xie Shi rubbed his fingers together and said confidently, "Don't worry, I will definitely let you drink delicious fruit wine in a few days.

I'll make some preserves for you to enjoy on your journey."

Li Yuening smiled and nodded and said yes.

Perhaps he wanted to try out the effects of stone milk, so after the meal, he prepared bath water for Li Yuening.

Xie Shi found a place, opened the porcelain bottle, and poured the stone milk into his mouth.

I thought the things I took out from the Cold Pond Cave would be as cold as the air in the cave.

Unexpectedly, my lower abdomen felt warm.

Xie Shi was enjoying it with his eyes narrowed, when he suddenly felt as if his limbs were being bitten by countless ants.

The itching was unbearable, and it felt like countless needles were moving through the meridians, causing stinging pain wherever they passed.

He couldn't help but groan, his brows furrowed tightly, and a layer of fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead.

The numbness and pain became more and more intense, making it difficult for Xie Shi to bear.

"What's going on?" Xie Shi was shocked and immediately became alert.

He did not dare to be careless, and quickly sat down cross-legged, circulating his spiritual power, trying to resist this strange feeling of pain.

As time went by, Xie Shi found that his spiritual power did not play a big role.

The numbness and pain still existed, and even became more intense.

Xie Shi gritted his teeth and persisted, continuing to practice his skills.

At the critical moment of advancing his water-related abilities, Xie Shi suddenly fell into bottomless darkness.

In the chaotic hallucination, he was horrified to find that he was bound by a powerful soul force. It was the soul of another person, which was quietly invading his body.

"Possessing someone else's body!" Xie Shi was horrified.

He struggled desperately, but his body was unable to move as if it was frozen in ice. He could only watch as another person, using his identity, and lived the life he had always dreamed of with his wife Yue Ning.

They watched the flowers bloom together with a smile, watched the clouds roll and unfold together, they had children, and enjoyed the ordinary and happy life that Xie Shi had always dreamed of.

Xie Shi felt heartbroken. How could he allow such a thing to happen?

He not only lost himself, but also lost the person he loved most.

Xie Shi struggled to wake up Yue Ning and let her know that it was not the real him.

But the man's soul power was too strong, and Xie Shi couldn't even make a sound.

Xie Shi did not give up, he knew very well that only Yue Ning could save him, and only Yue Ning could recognize that that was not the real him.

Xie Shi began to try hard to recall every detail between him and Yue Ning, those unique memories that belonged only to them, those secret codes and gestures that only they could understand.

In the hallucination, Xie Shi saw Yue Ning's gentle eyes and her trust and love for him.

Xie Shi tried his best, used all his strength to call her name, and used all his strength to convey his emotions and memories.

He tried to make Yue Ning notice the subtle difference.

Several times, Xie Shi saw the mockery from another soul's face, "Is it useful for you to make these meaningless struggles?

Your body is mine now, and your beautiful wife is mine,

Look at you, such a pathetic failure!"

Xie Shi's anger was fruitless.

Finally, on a moonlit night, Yue Ning seemed to realize something.

She looked at the "Xie Shi" in front of her, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

He gently held her hand, Yue Ning raised her head and looked into his eyes.

At this moment, Xie Shi used all his strength to call out weakly: "Yuening, it's me..."

Yue Ning's body trembled violently. She seemed to have heard something, but she was not sure.

She held his hand tightly, feeling the familiar warmth and heartbeat.

"Thank you?"

Xie Shi smiled, but the next moment, his soul was imprisoned again. He watched Yue Ning return to her former appearance and ask about the fake Xie Shi's well-being.

"What happened to you just now?" Yue Ning put her hand on his forehead and muttered, "You don't have a fever."

The man chuckled, took Yue Ning's hand away, and kissed it lightly on the lips. That smile and kiss were the greatest mockery and provocation to Xie Shi.

"I'm fine, but why do you act like you don't know me?"

Yue Ning, "It just suddenly occurred to me that when we first met, I wanted to kill you.

You lied to me and said you would keep the secret for me, but I didn’t expect so many years to have passed in the blink of an eye..."

Xie Shi was overjoyed, Yue Ning was doubting him.

Xie Shi's soul has gained new power, and he wants to take his body back.

"Yeah, if I hadn't been quick-witted at that time, you would have lost me." The fake Xie Shi sat down and pulled Yue Ning into his arms, with his face against Yue Ning's chest.

Yue Ning looked down at "Xie Shi" who was buried in her arms.

She knew that the man in front of her was not her beloved husband, but a strange soul that had occupied her husband's body.

With a flip of his wrist, a dagger appeared in his hand.

She raised the sword, pointed it at the back of "Xie Shi"'s head, and stabbed it with her eyes closed.

"Xie Shi, it's my fault that I was blind and didn't recognize you earlier.

I'll come find you right now." Yue Ning said as she stabbed her throat with the dagger.

The soul of Xie Shi shouted "No."

"What don't you want?" A familiar voice came from my ear.

Xie Shi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Li Yuening folding her arms and looking at him, "You actually advanced in your sleep?

Aren't you afraid of going astray?"

Xie Shi rolled and crawled to his feet, rushed over and hugged Li Yuening tightly in his arms, "Fortunately, fortunately it was just a dream..."

Li Yuening was stunned for a moment, then she put her hand around Xie Shi's back and patted him, "Are you... okay?"

Xie Shi shook his head, and as he did so, a mark disappeared on the back of his neck.
