The old master Cheng was a little uneasy today, not sleeping soundly and tossing and turning. Unlike before, when he snored like thunder and slept for a whole day.
When Guo Xuyang and the other person arrived at the villa, Cheng Liguo suddenly sat up, no longer sleepy.
His fat body moved quickly to the window, his eyes fixed on the two. Fortunately, there were no outsiders to see, and no one would believe that Cheng Liguo was a seventy-year-old man. His movements were so agile.
Guo Xuyang had a feeling and glanced at the window. He clearly saw Cheng Liguo's bulky body blocking half the window, his eyes staring intently at him.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Guo Xuyang sensed the unease of the "soybean worm" within Cheng Liguo and even asked him what he wanted.
He didn't know how to answer the question, as he could only perceive it now. He hadn't learned to communicate with his mind yet.
Seeing that the other party didn't respond, the "soybean worm" became even more flustered. But it couldn't leave the old man's body. It had entered the old man's body by chance.
When Cheng Liguo returned home, he was heartbroken and exhausted from the journey, and his mind and body were weak. The worm took the opportunity to possess him, controlling Cheng Liguo's thoughts and demanding food daily to supply the nutrients it needed.
The reason everyone saw Cheng Liguo as fat was merely the excess fat accumulated in his body due to overeating. The essence of the food had long been absorbed by it. As long as it could endure for another three months, it could transform.
Unexpectedly, Guo Xuyang showed up at this time. Yesterday, it could clearly feel that Guo Xuyang could see it, but he was helpless, so it didn't pay any attention. However, since last night, it had felt uneasy, sensing a great danger. It didn't know where the danger came from, nor how to resolve it.
When Guo Xuyang entered, it immediately stood up. It had found the source of the danger, this young man. But when it questioned him, the other party didn't answer. This made it feel very uneasy. It was likely that this matter would not be easily resolved today.
Cheng Xiuping saw the two arrive and quickly stepped forward to shake hands and welcome them.
"My father is still resting upstairs, please come with me." He said, leading the way to Cheng Liguo's room on the second floor.
When Cheng Xiuping saw Cheng Liguo, he was very surprised. He didn't expect his father to be up.
"Father, why are you up? Please sit down quickly."
Indeed, for a seventy-year-old man, a three-hundred-pound fatty, it was rare to be able to stand.
After Cheng Xiuping helped his father sit down, Cheng Liguo spoke, "I want to chat with this young man for a moment. You take the little girl and leave for now."
Cheng Xiuping was very surprised. He didn't expect his father to talk to Guo Xuyang proactively and even ask them to leave. His father had no reason to have met Guo Xuyang. However, since the old master had spoken, he had to take Xiao Yun out of the room.
"Young man, you are very good. I didn't expect that at such a young age you could see my true form. Who is your teacher?"
I don't have a master, okay? But I have a cheat tool.
"I don't have a master, and I don't know who you are or where you come from. But I don't want you to stay in this old man's body any longer. You have already caused him great harm." Guo Xuyang spoke without politeness, directly telling it to leave.
"I didn't intend to possess this person; it was out of necessity. My soul body is quite weak. If I can't find a suitable place to reside, I will dissipate into nothingness. I haven't harmed him, but I need energy. I apologize for the harm caused to him. Since you can see me, you must have a way to accommodate me."
"I have no way to accommodate you, nor will I. To prevent further harm to the old man, I can only destroy your soul body," Guo Xuyang said expressionlessly.
"Please, you must have a way. Just give me three more months, and I can come out and won't need to possess anyone else. If you save me, I swear I will be loyal to you for life."
"Who are you? How did you get into this body? Explain it clearly. I will consider whether to accommodate you."
"I am Kasa, from an ancient planet. My planet was in turmoil, and my country was occupied by enemies. I was killed in battle and came to Earth by chance. I was originally residing in a caterpillar, but later I found this old man on the road, so I moved my residence. I truly have no intention of harming anyone."
"What do you need me to do to accommodate you and stop harming this old man?"
"You just need to relax your consciousness and your mind, and I can transfer to you myself."
"You're not trying to take over my body, are you? That's impossible. I won't take that risk. Are there any other ways?"
"There are other ways, but they are too demanding. I need a box made of stone essence to reside in. You just need to shape the stone essence into whatever form you desire, and I can reside within it. I need the essence of stone to nurture my soul body."
"In that case, I can try. Can jade work?"
"I have seen jade in the possession of this body's current host, so it should be fine. Of course, the better the quality, the more suitable it is for me to reside in."
"Mm. That's good. I'll come back tomorrow. You can come and reside in the box directly then. But during this period, you cannot harm this old man, or I will definitely make you dissipate into nothingness."
"No, I will start cleaning up the garbage in the old man's body right away. But don't be afraid. Before I leave tomorrow, I will fully restore the old man's bodily functions. Under normal circumstances, his body will be better than before, and he should be able to live for another twenty or thirty years."
"I believe you. I hope you don't disappoint me." Guo Xuyang said and turned to leave.
"Please wait a moment. Please call the son of this host over. Thank you!" This "soybean worm" was becoming more polite, likely due to the relief of danger.
"Mr. Cheng, your father is looking for you." Guo Xuyang called Cheng Xiuping over.
"Xiuping, take this gentleman to find a piece of top-quality jade and make a box. I need it urgently. I've already spoken to the gentleman. Also, tomorrow, please ask him to come up directly."
Cheng Xiuping was bewildered, not understanding why his father was giving these instructions. He thought Guo Xuyang had fed his old father some nonsense.
Cheng Xiuping agreed and walked out of the room with Guo Xuyang.
Xiao Yun saw Guo Xuyang come out and quickly asked, "Yangzi, did you figure anything out? Is he possessed?"
"Possessed by what? Don't talk nonsense."
"Are you going back on your word about giving me that piece of jade? Or did you not see anything?"
"I didn't see anything? I saw very clearly. Don't think about my jade anymore. You won't get it. That jade is useful. You'll know tomorrow."
Cheng Xiuping listened in confusion, what jade? What about reneging on a promise?
