The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

Xiao Yu asked the ghosts to bring the medicine for Xiao's father, and ordered Zhu Huan to avoid people and go through the back door to find a doctor to check and see if there was anything wrong. He felt relieved to know that Madam Xiao had no intention of doing anything bad to his father.

After all, as long as he died, there would be no more obstacles in Mrs. Xiao's eyes, and there would be no need for her to take his father's life for nothing.

After staying in the house pretending to be seriously ill for a whole day, Xiao Yu confirmed that his father was safe and sound. He then planned to find an opportunity to expose Mrs. Xiao's true identity.

In the evening, You Mu, who had been away for a long time, appeared again.

Xiao Yu had already asked Zhu Huan to prepare the incense burner and offerings, and set up a large altar in the inner room, but the main seat was still empty, and Xiao Yu was unsure what to put on it.

"The altar is ready, but what should be placed on it to benefit you?" Seeing You Mu appear, Xiao Yu pulled him over and asked.

The red-robed ghost smiled as he glanced at the altar where offerings and lotus flowers were placed. He pulled out a blood-stained jade hairpin from his hair and placed it on the tray at the main seat.

As the hairpin was pulled out, a part of the tied-up black hair was freed and cascaded down like a rushing waterfall.

The contrast between red and black has always been strong, and Xiao Yu was unable to take his eyes away for a moment.

Fortunately, he did not forget what he had to do. He took out the incense, took off the lampshade and lit it with candlelight, and lit four incense sticks in the incense burner.

Finally, he asked again: "Is this all right? Is this okay?"

Wisps of white smoke curled up and floated away. When they reached mid-air, they seemed to suddenly come alive, following You Mu's direction, and after circling around a few times, all of it fell into the other's nostrils.

"Not bad." You Mu sniffed. The cannibal incense smelled pretty good, with a hint of lotus fragrance.

He felt a little fuller and the missing ghost energy seemed to have recovered. He took out a pill from his sleeve and put it into Xiao Yu's mouth.

"...What is this?" Xiao Yu naturally trusted the other party, but he didn't know what effect the pill he had just swallowed had.

"To relieve cough," the red-clothed ghost answered concisely, then leaned back on the couch.

In fact, it was not just to stop the cough. The fundamental reason why Xiao Yu was weak and frail was that the wandering Taoist's life-changing technique was not pure. It was a mixture of several techniques and was full of mistakes and omissions.

Although Xiao Yu looks like an ordinary person, he is essentially a living corpse. The yin and yang in his body are imbalanced and he needs to absorb ghost energy to absorb nutrients in order to relieve the imbalance.

However, ghost energy is weak and can easily lead to evil obstacles. If one is not careful, it is easy to lose one's mind and become an evil creature that is neither human nor ghost.

In order to eliminate the evil resentment in his own spirit and ghost energy and compress the beneficial effect of the ghost energy, You Mu spent some effort to refine this one.

[It takes so much effort to cut off soul pieces and refine them...] Tiandao, who had not shown up for a long time, muttered softly because of the previous refresh of cognition.

[…Just paying off a debt] You Mu lowered his head, his long, curled eyelashes shielding his eyes. He picked up the cup, skimmed off the foam, and took a sip.

[Yo yo yo! Just paying off a debt!] The Heavenly Dao, who thought he saw through everything, was acting weird and parrot-like.

In fact, it's not that there are no other ways, but Xiao Yu has been ill for more than ten years, and the deficiency is too severe. If he wants to make up for it in one day, it is not enough without eating essence and spirit.

Although he was staying by the other person's side, he was ultimately restricted by the rules and could not give a complete guarantee.

If Madam Xiao went crazy and lost her mind, and wanted to beat or kill Xiao Yu, even if she recovered from her illness, she would still have the confidence to fight back.

After all, Madam Xiao was a ruthless person who pushed Xiao's father into the lake and drowned him, so we have to be on guard against her.

[But wouldn’t this be too obvious?] Tiandao was a little worried. If it was discovered by the laws, it would waste energy again.

[Isn't there still the father-in-law? Heaven is omnipotent, why would it worry about the law?] You Mu lowered his eyebrows, and a faint light flashed in his pupils.

[Of course not...it's just that I have a special identity after all, so it's not convenient for me to take action easily.] Tiandao paused for a few seconds, explained loudly, and then quietly observed You Mu for a few more times.

Fortunately, You Mu didn't seem to take this conversation to heart.

"Actually, my coughing up blood has gotten much better since I met you. What's more, I won't die." The other person's face was still pale, but Xiao Yu felt that it was even paler than in the morning.

He didn't know where these pills came from, but he estimated that they were not easy to come by.

"Are you feeling better?" You Mu just smiled and said nothing in response to Xiao Yu's words. He just asked the other party whether he was feeling better.

"It's fine...but..."

As the pill entered his stomach, Xiao Yu could clearly feel the cool breath flowing through his blood vessels, dispelling most of his fatigue and making his whole body feel unusually relaxed.

The effect was so obvious and so shocking that it was definitely not an ordinary product.

Seeing a hint of imperceptible fatigue between the red-clothed ghost's brows, Xiao Yu felt that the origin of this elixir was more and more strange.

"How did you get this medicine? Could it be harmful to you?"

After refilling his own tea, You Mu saw that the other party kept asking questions and seemed determined to do so, so he did not hide anything and stretched out his hand to measure the size in the air.

"About that, a small piece of soul was cut out and refined. Is the medicine effective?"

The incense box in Xiao Yu's hand that contained the incense fell to the ground with a "plop". This was the origin of the elixir that he had not expected.

"Why..." Xiao Yu felt his hands and feet go numb, but it wasn't because of shock or fear. He just didn't understand why he deserved this...
