Many times before, Ye Tiancheng had transferred his true qi to him, so the fat man understood the process. When Ye Tiancheng once again transferred his true qi to him, the fat man felt very embarrassed.
He had just obtained the divine artifact, the shovel, and felt like he was about to stand up, only to rely on Ye Tiancheng's help again. He always felt that this was not good. Placing all his hopes on others was not what a man should do.
However, the fat man was not that powerful now, and in the face of reality, he had to bow his head. This was the most annoying thing.
"Brother Ye, I'm really useless. I can't even protect myself and I'm dragging you down again. I'm the weakest in our team, so they targeted me. If they had targeted the two of you, they wouldn't have done this. Because that spider spirit couldn't have crushed you in terms of strength."
"When people become a little stronger, there's sometimes a gap, but this wasn't the original intention when I gave you that shovel. Fatty, don't think too much about it. I hope you can be happy and always be the mood-maker of our team."
This was Ye Tiancheng's greatest wish, but for the fat man, he had already tasted the joy of power and could no longer be at peace as a weakling. He also wanted to be like Ye Tiancheng, to stand at the forefront sometimes, playing the role of a hero. This was like a dream for the fat man.
"I'll try my best to adjust my mindset, but I also want to become a strong person. I also want to protect you, Brother Ye. I hope you can understand my feelings."
What the fat man said did not make Ye Tiancheng feel uncomfortable. Instead, he felt it was normal. After all, Brother Fatty was a good person, a responsible person, and naturally, he would want everyone around him to be safe. Being able to contribute more was also a kind of happiness for him.
"Alright, let's not talk about other things. Fatty, you were also frightened this time. Let's rest for a few hours and then continue to explore Black Wind Mountain."
Actually, Ye Tiancheng had already thought of letting the fat man wait at the campsite outside, but he couldn't say it when it came to his lips. Seeing the fat man's very enthusiastic appearance, Ye Tiancheng felt that he couldn't open his mouth.
The fat man would definitely want to follow. Ye Tiancheng also didn't want to disappoint the fat man's good intentions. As for encountering any danger, Ye Tiancheng decided to stand in front of the fat man and absolutely not let his good brother suffer any grievances.
"Okay, Brother Ye, I can definitely keep up with the team and won't drag you down."
After all this trouble, it was almost noon. Fatty wanted to roast some fish for everyone, but now he didn't have the energy. After being tossed around by that spider spirit, he felt like his soul had been drained, and he immediately became much weaker.
"Forget it, Fatty, I see you've worked hard. You should rest for a while. I'll take care of the rest. Although my cooking skills are not great, I can make some steamed buns for you."
"Okay, Brother Ye, to avoid dragging you down, I really need to sleep. After this sleep, I, Fatty, will definitely be a good man again."
After Fatty finished speaking, he lay down and fell asleep. After sleeping for about ten minutes, he suddenly woke up and started coughing. Fatty had a slight headache, and the symptoms were like a cold, but also a bit different. He felt that the symptoms were slightly more severe than a cold.
"Brother Ye, help me. I think I'm sick. Please take a look."
When facing problems, asking for help from your buddies is not shameful at all. Only those who stubbornly endure but clearly cannot hold on are truly disgraceful, as this will delay the entire progress.
"Okay, I'll take a look."
Ye Tiancheng was about to examine Fatty when he saw his snot flowing out. It seemed that he really had a cold. If it wasn't that serious, his snot wouldn't have flown straight down for three thousand feet. This was clearly a severe cold.
Ye Tiancheng quickly probed with his true qi and found another problem. This time, he was really seriously ill because there was a trace of evil energy in Fatty's body, and the source of this evil energy was very suspicious.
"Fatty, don't worry. I'll use my true body to communicate with the evil energy in your body. I want to see what that guy wants to do."
"Then it's up to you, Brother Ye. I'm really out of strength now and can't resist at all. Everything depends on your ability."
Ye Tiancheng quickly drilled into Fatty's body with his true qi and found that there was a stranger inside. In fact, without thinking too much, he knew that this was the previous owner of the shovel, the one who wanted Fatty to help him defeat demons and accumulate merit.
"Thank you for blocking for my brother just now, but I have a question. How did you get into his body? You two cannot blend well, and now he's showing symptoms. I suggest you leave quickly. Your presence will make my friend uncomfortable, and I cannot allow you to stay here."
Ye Tiancheng had no other thoughts, only one: to keep Fatty safe. Now, this person who was dead but not completely dead was trying to influence Fatty, and Ye Tiancheng would never agree to this. This kind of thing was inherently unreasonable.
"I won't leave. This is not my fault. I only had a simple thought, which was to leave this place. I don't want to be a wandering ghost anymore. I want to be reincarnated. It's all the fault of that dead fatty who is too weak and can't withstand a little pressure, causing me to suffer too. Why did my shovel choose such a weak owner?"
The wandering ghost was no longer there. Now that he saw Ye Tiancheng could communicate with him, he didn't know why his temper flared up, and he started to get angry.
"You still have the nerve to get angry? I'm truly impressed. Do you think you're still the tomb-robbing king you once were? Since you're dead, just be peaceful."
Like Fatty, Ye Tiancheng also seemed to have social anxiety. He didn't care about threats at all and even retorted.
"You and your friend, you two are truly birds of a feather. You have no respect for me at all, but it doesn't matter. I don't need your respect. I just need you to help me eliminate demons and accumulate merit."
"I don't care what your problem is. Now that Fatty is experiencing physical discomfort, I will absolutely not let you stay in his body and cause trouble. Now that I'm still talking to you nicely, I advise you to leave quickly, don't wait until I get angry, and then it will be difficult to resolve."
Ye Tiancheng hadn't been so angry for a long time. The reason he was so angry today was that he really couldn't stand it. Everything was a struggle.
He just wanted to find a shovel, but he never expected it to turn into this.
This was simply rubbing someone on the ground. He just casually found a handy weapon, but he attracted a tomb robber who was completely evil and had stolen graves and accumulated great karma.
"Are you threatening me?"
"It's best if you can understand. I am threatening you. Behave yourself. I'll give you three minutes. Please leave here quickly. If I find out you're still in Fatty's body, I'll scatter your soul directly. You know I have this ability."
Now, Fatty not only had cold symptoms but was also shivering all over and his complexion was dark, which were clearly symptoms of being possessed. How could a wandering ghost in his body feel comfortable?
"I know you have this ability, but I beg you, don't let me go, okay? I have nowhere to go. I only have forty-nine days. If I miss this time, I will never be able to enter reincarnation and will wander in the human world forever."
Some wandering ghosts are cunning and like to say some unfounded things to deceive people, but this wandering ghost was truly sincere because he even shed tears while speaking. When the tears dripped down, Ye Tiancheng was shocked.
"What are you crying for!" Ye Tiancheng was in a panic. "Can you stop crying? A grown man in front of me, you're making it seem like I'm bullying you, which is also detrimental to my reputation. I haven't done anything to you. Even if I give it to you, it's because you harmed my friend's health first."
Seeing someone cry, Ye Tiancheng would definitely be moved by compassion, just like at this moment. He felt that he was the one who had done wrong, and he shouldn't have been so harsh to a wandering ghost. After all, the wandering ghost was already miserable enough.
"I'm already so miserable, and you won't even let me cry? If you take away even this right, you might as well kill me now and scatter my soul."
The man never knew that a man could be so unreasonable. He originally thought this was a woman's privilege.
"I'm warning you, don't cry anymore. If you cry again, I'll hit you, believe it or not?"
"Just kill me, scatter my soul into dust, and I'll be at ease, not suffering in this human world."
Ye Tiancheng was really a little unbearable. As a man, he understood men's feelings. He had seen a man cry like this, and he must have suffered immense grievances. In this situation, he shouldn't be adding insult to injury.
"I'm sorry, old man. Tell me what grievances you have."
"I know I did wrong in my life, and I died miserably when I died. The tomb collapsed and crushed me. I touched a taboo and was cursed by the tomb owner, so I couldn't enter reincarnation. I only had to accumulate merit. This was my only way out."
"Seeing how weak you are, I can help you, but the situation is not that simple now. As you know, my friend has no cultivation and is just an ordinary person. If you are on him like this, I'm afraid my friend will be harmed by you."
When Ye Tiancheng said this, the wandering ghost quickly retorted, "You're really overthinking. How is that possible? I was injured while resisting damage, which caused my yin energy to be too heavy. So I'm borrowing him to resist the cold."
"Then what if my friend continues to feel so uncomfortable!"
"Then what if my friend continues to feel so uncomfortable!"
"At most, one night. I can guarantee that after this night, there will be no more trouble!"
"Why should I believe you?"
"I harmed my host to death, what's the use? Although I really dislike this fatty, I can only rely on this fatty now. Otherwise, who can I rely on to help me complete my merit and enter reincarnation?"
"Then I'll give you one more night. If my friend doesn't return to normal tomorrow, then you'll be in trouble. I hate liars the most. No, even ghosts cannot lie to me, otherwise, I will definitely punish you."
