Old Dao didn't know what happened to me yesterday, but he could glean some information from my conversation with the old man.
"Come with me..."
The old man turned slightly, walked forward with a hunched back, and then headed towards our bathing area.
I was skeptical, but I followed the old man closely with my lightning sword.
Old Dao actually wanted to follow, but the old man only glanced back at him once before his body became immobile.
"You stay; you still have a use!"
The old man's words were like a command, directly binding Old Dao.
Despite his burly physique, Old Dao is nothing more than a chick compared to the old man's magic.
"You stay in your room and rest. I'll go see what's wrong!"
I raised my voice and gave Lao Dao a reassuring look.
What's meant to happen can't be avoided, but for now, the old man doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards us.
"Sir, this reservoir should be a passageway, right?"
I followed the old man to the reservoir and pointed at it softly.
The old man suddenly turned around, a look of astonishment on his face. Then, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.
"As expected of the Owl God, your insight is astonishing. How did you figure it out?"
The old man asked a question.
In other words, he indirectly acknowledged what I said.
"Because this reservoir is not normal; its water is flowing water, and there are signs of life in it now!"
"I suppose absorbing the yang energy from Lao Dao last night was also to feed something inside him?"
Now that I've guessed this far, I'll make an even bolder guess.
"In all four roles you played, your body was completely covered up. I think it must be to hide something, right?"
I stared intently at the old man's cuff, my heart pounding faster and faster.
My intuition tells me that the old man is hiding a huge secret in his cuff.
The old man suddenly let out a strange, cackling laugh, and then he rolled up his sleeves.
The scene that came into my view made my pupils shrink.
His arm was covered in fish-like monsters, which were already deformed.
The entire fish was completely twisted.
The rest of the old man's arm had also been eroded by the fish.
I instinctively took two steps back, as if I could see my future.
"Old sir, are you like me?"
My heart was filled with mixed feelings.
I also glanced at the tattoo on my arm and felt a little scared.
Is the old man's today my tomorrow?
“I don’t know why I’m so lucky! You are someone who has gained the approval of the Owl God, while I have only gained a portion of the god’s power…”
The old man gave a bitter laugh, his tone filled with envy.
It seems my situation is quite different from the old man's.
The old man must have used some kind of secret method to forcibly tattoo that thing onto his body.
It's just that because it didn't gain that thing's approval, it turned into this inhuman and ghostly state.
The old man's body began to twist and contort, and right before my eyes, he transformed once again into that young woman.
“My body changes all the time. In order to cure it completely, my sister thought of asking the gods.”
But I ultimately did not gain God's approval, and my body was constantly being devoured by Him. Only by continuously absorbing Yang energy could I sustain my life!
The old man, now a young woman, continued to explain to me in that alluring voice.
Holy crap!
Hearing this, I roughly understood.
"Your sister isn't the landlady of that guesthouse, is she?"
