Chapter 4050: Xie Hongying Shocked Everyone

This change instantly quieted the previously boiling scene, and everyone's eyes were filled with astonishment.

Ten-Crown Pill King Chu Jiuyu, in the hearts of many, already represented the strongest existence in the Dao of Pills, and he had always shown a strong presence before.

Moreover, he was the first to complete the refining of a crucial Medicinal Pill, and everyone thought he would once again retain his title, becoming the Eleven-Crown Dan Wang.

But no one expected that Mu Ji, who had never been seen before and had no reputation whatsoever, would surprisingly come from behind with his formidable strength.

In just a moment, the throne of Dan Wang changed hands.

Even the old monsters on the viewing platform were shocked beyond measure, rising one after another, not daring to believe it……

"I am a failure. I barely notice if the sun is bright or not, because I have no time.

"My parents couldn't support me, my education wasn't high, and I was alone in the city searching for a future.

"I looked for many jobs, but couldn't get hired. Perhaps no one likes someone who isn't good at talking, doesn't like to communicate, and hasn't shown enough ability.

"For three whole days, I only ate two pieces of bread. Hunger kept me awake at night. Fortunately, I had paid a month's rent in advance, so I could continue to live in that dark basement and didn't have to endure the unusually cold winter wind outside.

"Finally, I found a job, working as a night watchman at a hospital, guarding the morgue.

"The hospital at night was even colder than I imagined. The wall lights in the corridor weren't lit, and it was dim everywhere. I could only rely on the faint light seeping from the rooms to help me see where I was going.

"The smell there was awful. From time to time, deceased people were brought in body bags, and we would work together to move them into the morgue.

"This wasn't a great job, but at least it allowed me to buy bread, and the free time at night could be used for studying. After all, few people wanted to come to the morgue unless a body needed to be brought in or taken away for cremation. Of course, I didn't have enough money to buy books yet, and I couldn't see any hope of saving up money.

"I have to thank my former colleague. If he hadn't suddenly resigned, I might not have even gotten a job like this.

"I dream of being able to rotate to the day shift. Now I always sleep when the sun comes out and wake up when night falls, which makes my body a bit weak, and my head occasionally throbs.

"One day, the movers brought in a new body.

"I heard from others that it was my former colleague who had suddenly resigned.

"I was a little curious about him. After everyone left, I pulled out the drawer and quietly opened the body bag.

"He was an old man, his face was pale and blue, covered in wrinkles, and he looked terrifying in the very dim light.

"He didn't have much hair, most of it was white, and all his clothes had been taken off; not even a piece of cloth was left on him.

"I saw a strange mark on his chest, bluish-black. I couldn't describe its exact appearance; the light was really too dim at the time.

"I reached out and touched the mark; there was nothing special about it.

"Looking at this former colleague, I wondered if I would end up like him if I kept going like this until I was old…

"I told him that tomorrow I would accompany him to the crematorium and personally take his ashes to the nearest free public cemetery, so that those responsible for these matters wouldn't find it troublesome and just throw them into a river or an abandoned piece of land.

"This would sacrifice a morning of my sleep, but it's okay, it's Sunday soon, so I can make it up.

"After saying that, I tidied the body bag and put it back into the drawer.

"The light in the room seemed to grow even dimmer…

"After that day, every time I slept, I would dream of a thick fog.

"I had a premonition that something would happen soon, a premonition that sooner or later, something that couldn't quite be called human would come looking for me, but no one was willing to believe me. They thought that in such an environment and with such a job, my mind had become a bit abnormal and I needed to see a doctor…"

A male customer sitting at the bar looked at the narrator who had suddenly stopped:

"Then what?"

This male customer was in his thirties, wearing a brown tweed jacket and light yellow trousers. His hair was neatly pressed, and he had a simple dark top hat beside him.

He looked ordinary, like most people in the pub: black hair, light blue eyes, neither handsome nor ugly, lacking distinct features.

The narrator in his eyes was a Young man of eighteen or nineteen, tall and slender, also with short black hair and light blue eyes, but with deep-set features that made him striking.

The Young man looked at the empty wine glass in front of him and sighed:

"Then what?

"Then I resigned and went back to the countryside, and came here to chat with you."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face, a somewhat mischievous smile.

The male customer was momentarily stunned:

"What you just said was a tall tale?"

"Haha." A burst of laughter erupted around the bar.

As the laughter subsided slightly, a thin middle-aged man looked at the slightly embarrassed customer and said:

"Outsider, you actually believe Lumian's story. He tells a different story every day. Yesterday he was a poor unfortunate whose engagement was broken off because of poverty, and today he's a morgue keeper!"

"Yes, he talks about thirty years on the east side of the Serenzo River, thirty years on the right side of the Serenzo River, just spouting nonsense!" another regular pub patron chimed in.

They were all farmers from the large village of Cordu, wearing short jackets of black, grey, or brown.

The black-haired Young man, called Lumian, propped himself up on the bar with both hands, slowly stood up, and said with a smile:

"You know, these aren't stories I made up. They're all written by my sister. She loves writing stories and is even a columnist for something called 'Fiction Weekly.'"

After speaking, he turned his body, spread his hands to the foreign customer, and smiled brightly:

"Looks like she writes really well. Xingwen Reading app

"I'm sorry for the misunderstanding."

The ordinary-looking man in the brown tweed jacket was not angry. He stood up as well and responded with a smile:

"A very interesting story.

"What should I call you?"

"Isn't it common sense to introduce yourself before asking someone else?" Lumian said with a laugh.

The foreign customer nodded:

"My name is Ryan Coase.

"These two are my companions, Valentine and Leah."

The latter sentence referred to a man and a woman sitting nearby. Xingwen Reading app

The man was twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with yellow hair lightly powdered. His eyes, not large, were a deeper shade of blue than lake water. He wore a white waistcoat, a blue fine-wool jacket, and black trousers, clearly having dressed meticulously before going out.

His expression was rather indifferent; he barely looked at the surrounding farmers and herders.

The woman appeared younger than the two men. Her light grey hair was styled into an intricate bun, covered by a white veil serving as a hat.

Her eyes were the same color as her hair, and her gaze towards Lumian carried an undisguised smile, as if she found what had just happened merely amusing.

Under the gas lamps of the pub, the woman named Leah revealed a delicate nose and beautifully curved lips, certainly a beauty in a rural village like Cordu.

She wore a white, unpleated cashmere fitted dress, paired with an off-white short jacket and a pair of Maziel long boots. Two small silver bells were tied to her veil and boots respectively, jingling all the way when she walked into the pub, drawing considerable attention and making many men stare.

In their eyes, this was the kind of fashionable attire only seen in big cities like Bigorre, the provincial capital, or Trier, the national capital.

Lumian nodded to the three foreigners:

"My name is Lumian Lee. You can just call me Lumian."

"Lee?" Leah blurted out. Xingwen Reading app

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my surname?" Lumian asked curiously.

Ryan Coase helped Leah explain:

"Your surname makes people fearful. I almost couldn't control my voice just now."

Seeing the surrounding farmers and herders looking puzzled, he further explained:

"Anyone who has dealt with sailors or sea merchants knows that there's a saying circulating on the Five Seas:

"'Rather encounter pirate generals and even kings than meet someone named Frank Lee.'"

"That person's surname is also Lee."

"Is he very terrifying?" Lumian asked.

Ryan shook his head:

"I don't know, but since there's such a legend, he certainly wouldn't be bad."

He stopped the topic and said to Lumian:

"Thank you for your story. It's worth a drink. What would you like?"

"A 'Green Fairy'." Lumian was not at all polite, sitting back down.

Ryan Coase frowned slightly: Xingwen Reading app

"'Green Fairy'… Absinthe?

"I think I need to remind you that absinthe is harmful to the human body. This drink can potentially lead to mental derangement and cause hallucinations."

"I didn't expect the popular trend from Trier to have spread here already," Leah added with a smile from the side.

Lumian said "Oh":

"So people from Trier also like to drink 'Green Fairy'…

"For us, life is already hard enough; there's no need to care about a little more harm. This drink can give our minds greater relaxation."

"Alright." Ryan sat back down and looked at the bartender. "A 'Green Fairy', and add a 'Spicy Heart' for me."

"Spicy Heart" is a famous fruit brandy.

"Why don't you get me a 'Green Fairy' too? I was the one who told you the truth just now, and I can tell you everything about this kid!" The thin middle-aged man who first exposed Lumian's daily storytelling shouted in dissatisfaction, "Outsider, I can tell you still have doubts about the truth of that story!"

"Pierre, you'll do anything for a free drink!" Lumian retorted loudly.

Before Ryan could decide, Lumian added:

"Why can't I tell it myself? That way I can have another 'Green Fairy'?"

"Because they don't know whether to believe what you say," the middle-aged man named Pierre said with a triumphant smile. "Your sister's favorite story to tell children is 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'; people who always lie will inevitably lose credibility."

"Alright." Lumian shrugged, watching the bartender push a glass of pale green liquor towards him.

Ryan looked at him, asking for confirmation:

"Is that okay?"

"No problem, as long as your wallet is enough to pay for these drinks." Lumian didn't care at all.

"Then another 'Green Fairy'." Ryan nodded.

Pierre's face immediately lit up with a smile:

"Generous outsider, this kid is the most mischievous person in the village. You must stay away from him.

"Five years ago, he was brought back to the village by his sister Aurore and has never left since. Think about it, before that, he was only thirteen, how could he have worked as a morgue keeper at a hospital? Well, the closest hospital to us is in Daliezhi down the mountain, a whole afternoon's walk away." Xingwen Reading app

"Brought back to the village?" Leah asked sharply.

She tilted her head slightly, causing the jingling sound.

Pierre nodded:

"Then, he took Aurore's surname 'Lee', and even his name 'Lumian' was given by Aurore."

"I've forgotten what his original name was," Lumian said with a grin, taking a sip of absinthe.

He seemed neither self-conscious nor ashamed about his past being revealed like this.

After an endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed. To read the latest chapters, please download the Xingxing Reading app. Read the latest chapters for free without ads. The website no longer updates the latest chapters; the Xingxing Reading novel app updates the latest chapters.

He gasped for fresh air, his chest heaving.

Confusion, incomprehension, all sorts of emotions surged into his mind.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and became even more bewildered.

A single dormitory room?

Even if he had been successfully rescued, he should be in a hospital room now.

And his body… how could there be no injuries at all.

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept across the room, finally settling on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, around seventeen or eighteen years old, very handsome.

But the problem was, this wasn't him! Download the Xingxing Reading app, read the latest chapters, ad-free and free.

Before, he was a handsome Young man in his twenties with an extraordinary demeanor, who had been working for some time.

And now, this appearance looked like that of a high school student no matter how he looked at it…

This change left Shi Yu in a daze for a long time.

Don't tell him the surgery was very successful…

His body and face had changed; this was no longer a matter of surgery or not, but rather immortal techniques.

He had completely transformed into another person!

Could it be… that he had Transmigrated?

Besides the mirror at the head of the bed, which was clearly placed in a bad feng shui position, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked them up and his expression instantly became solemn at the titles.

"Essential Handbook for Novice Breeders"

"Postpartum Care for Pet Beasts"

"Guide to Appreciating Heterogeneous Beast-Eared Girls"

Shi Yu: ???

The titles of the first two books were normal enough, but what was going on with the last one?

"Cough."

Shi Yu's eyes sharpened, and he reached out, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, a sharp pain shot through his brain, and a flood of memories surged forth.
