Chapter 96 Reborn as a Dog
"Enough...enough."
After a long while, Mei Shiyu pushed him away, stopping him, and said, "Let's stop here this time."
The hand pressing down on his neck was like an eagle's claw, firmly restraining the back of his head and preventing him from moving.
He hadn't been here for a long time.
The Bone-Stealing Bone was starving.
He bit down hard on the warm neck with his teeth, partly to vent his resentment.
Mei Shiyu felt pain and stopped indulging him.
He raised his leg and kicked out.
Two hundred years ago, when he retrieved the boy's green-haired corpse from the bottom of the cliff at Wanren Peak, the boy's physique was similar to Yuanbao's; both were twelve years old and very light-bodied.
But after the boy endured excruciating pain to clean himself of all the filth, his body grew rapidly, like a willow bud sprouting. In just three to five years, he grew into the skeleton of an adult.
Over the next one or two hundred years, his bones slowly turned to jade, and it wasn't until recent decades that flesh and blood began to grow back, reshaping his physical body.
The skeletons of the adult remains were tall and large, as solid and sturdy as steel.
Mei Shiyu was tall and proud, but he was a full half a head shorter than him.
The Undying Bone stood in front of him like a wall, creating an inexplicable sense of oppression and making him eager to escape.
So he kicked him directly, trying to push him away.
But Mei Shiyu's kick hit a brick wall; the Undying Bone remained unmoved, raising its skull.
Two dark, hollow eye sockets stared at him, seemingly oblivious.
Both of them remained silent.
The "uncorrupted bones" are actually people who cannot see.
There wasn't a single piece of good flesh above his neck; it was just a smooth, white skull. He couldn't see people, hear sounds, or speak.
They can only perceive the existence of all things through fluctuations in their aura.
Mei Shiyu kicked him mercilessly, and all he wanted to know was why she was tickling him.
"Okay, let me go."
Mei Shiyu braced her arm against his chest and pushed him hard.
Only then did Bu Hua Gu comply with his wishes, releasing his body and taking a small step back.
Then she tugged at the strips of cloth wrapped around her body, indicating to him that it was too stuffy and uncomfortable.
The entire skeleton, which was not decomposed, was wrapped in layers upon layers of blood-stained bandages.
That was snow silk made from the silk spun by the golden silkworm gu.
Mei Shiyu pulled back the fabric on his chest to take a closer look.
The scene that came into view was extremely explicit.
Indeed, he saw two rows of symmetrical and neat ribs.
A thin layer of blood film covered the ribs.
Through the blood membrane, you could vaguely see the heart beating rhythmically inside the chest cavity.
The blood vessels of varying thicknesses are intertwined, sometimes contracting and sometimes dilating, like the breathing roots of an old tree.
The entire scene was crimson.
Mei Shiyu's tightly furrowed brows never relaxed.
"If you feel uncomfortable, you can only keep it like this until the skin and flesh have fully healed, then you can wear loose clothes... Don't scratch, even if it itches."
Mei Shiyu slapped his hand away and rewrapped the snow silk tightly for him.
In truth, he knew that since the Undying Bone hadn't absorbed enough fresh blood, its flesh and blood regenerated very slowly, like a malnourished infant. When would it ever grow a full body of flesh? It seemed like a long way off.
But Mei Shiyu couldn't possibly let him go out and harm innocent people.
Once the non-molting bone is formed, it gradually loses its sense of pain, becomes immune to all external damage, and its destructive power and aggression increase day by day.
Now, this skeleton has inexhaustible energy every day, but no one to entertain him. In addition, he is starving for three days and his thirst for blood can never be satisfied. His temper is becoming more and more irritable, and he will bang his head against rocks when he has nothing to do.
To temper his character, Mei Shiyu assigned him the arduous task of "moving mountains and filling seas".
To the west of this bamboo hut is a large mountain, and to the east is a vast sea.
The Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains and Jingwei Who Filled the Sea – he did the work of two people all by himself.
Mei Shiyu last entered the Bodhi Precepts three months ago.
Three months is neither long nor short.
Mei Shiyu stepped out of the bamboo hut and surveyed the surrounding area for miles, only to find that the mountains had collapsed and the earth had cracked, and the sea had turned into mulberry fields.
...Its ability to destroy houses is also exceptional.
He returned to the bamboo hut, and as soon as he entered, he was entangled by the skeleton again, with sharp teeth circling his neck.
Undying Bone wrote on his back with his finger, “If you want it, give it to me.”
Mei Shiyu gestured to his chest in the same way, "Bear with it, don't give it to me."
A skull rested on his shoulder, rolling back and forth listlessly, looking every bit like a spoiled brat.
He was eccentric and unruly, he was pushing his luck, yet he was also desperately begging for approval.
He won't do it if he doesn't get permission.
But they will definitely act very sad.
Like a stray puppy that's been bullied... no, a big dog, a super big dog.
He's a real jerk.
He was very skilled at using a set of tricks to catch the sly and charming, just like Yuanbao.
If it weren't for the fact that he was almost starving to death but still had the energy to smash mountains and seas with his bare hands, Mei Shiyu might have fallen for his trick, felt pity for no reason, and then exposed her neck, letting him take a few more bites.
"Yuanbao..."
Mei Shiyu wrote two words on his chest.
Undying Bone rubbed his head against his cheek in response.
Mei Shiyu wasn't talking to him about his little apprentice.
They were calling his name.
Two hundred years ago, when Mei Shiyu first met the young man, she asked him his name, and he gave her these two words in response.
What a coincidence.
Two hundred years later, Mei Shiyu took a boy who claimed that his nickname was "Yuanbao" as his apprentice.
Even more coincidentally, the two have remarkably similar personalities.
When they encounter the plum rain season, they always hide their true faces and are unwilling to show them to others.
They even used the exact same excuse: "I'm too ugly, I'm afraid I'll scare you to death."
While innocent and funny, it also reveals a just-right sense of humility and sensitivity, pretentious and pitiful.
In reality, he is fearless, arrogant, and not someone to be trifled with.
Various coincidences... Are they just coincidences, or is there another reason behind them?
Mei Shiyu always felt that the apprentice he found by the roadside had an inexplicable connection with the boy from two hundred years ago.
Just today, something else happened that made him suspicious—
He was so tired that he fell asleep in his room.
The disciple had slipped inside at some point and untied his belt, which was formed from the Azure Frost Sword.
What his apprentice thought of him was secondary.
What surprised him most was that the spirit of the Azure Frost Sword actually allowed his little apprentice to act so rudely, without reacting at all.
Having spent so much time with the sword spirit, Mei Shiyu knows his temperament best; he's always been someone who keeps strangers at bay and is not to be trifled with.
No one is allowed to even get close to him, let alone touch him directly.
However, his young apprentice was adept at using the Azure Frost, and the belt revealed its true form in his hands, which he then set aside.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Mei Shiyu couldn't figure out why this was happening.
The most reasonable explanation he could think of was that his disciple was the reincarnation of the boy from two hundred years ago.
The boy died at the bottom of the cliff, his blood drained away, and he became a sword spirit. His body then rotted and turned into a zombie.
Only the soul has vanished without a trace.
It is highly likely that his soul returned to the underworld and was reborn as a human.
No, it should be "reborn as a dog".
Mei Shiyu had mixed feelings.
What terrible sins did he commit in his previous life that he was reborn as an animal?!
However, the situation was urgent, and he couldn't afford to dwell on it.
At the Rebirth Inn, there is another zombie waiting for him to deal with; his troublesome little apprentice is still sleeping on the table, and may wake up to cause trouble again; Si Wuxie and Xia Changfeng are nowhere to be found, and may they suddenly return, adding to the threat?
All of these things worried him.
Mei Shiyu suppressed her emotions and continued writing on Buhua Gu's chest.
Do you remember the snow silk robe I gave you before?
He said, "Go find where you put it and give it to me."
Undying Bones retorted, "What do you want that for?"
The snow-white silk robe was a gift from Mei Shiyu.
Mei Shiyu originally planned to dress him in this outfit when he was almost fully grown and no longer needed bandages.
But it seems like it's still a long way off.
It's better to use it for emergencies; compared to that, the pathetic, hairy corpse needs it more.
Undying Bone replied, "I won't return what you gave me."
Mei Shiyu bargained with him: "How about I give you another one later?"
Undying Bone said decisively, "Not good."
He wrote on Mei Shiyu's back, and the pressure of his fingers on the paper indicated the weight of his words.
If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.
He almost shattered Mei Shiyu's spine.
Mei Shiyu was far weaker than him, and wished she could carve words on his chest with an iron chisel.
"Listen to me! Go! Get it!"
My fingers are sore from writing.
Give him a punch to urge him to hurry up.
