Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1242 - 225: Part 4

Later, it became less common. Nowadays, many official temples and wealthy families in Fujian take pride in their ancestral collections of tiger skins. It has almost become a status symbol. During festivals, the tiger skins are sometimes brought out for display.

Li Zhiyuan sat down next to him, picked up the pot, lit a fire, and began cooking.

"Oh, Brother Xiao Yuan, that old man at the lighthouse said the divine statue he worships ended up in his daughter who turned into a Deadman."

"Brother Run Sheng and the others should be able to find it. A Deadman can't hide from Brother Run Sheng's nose."

"Yes, at least it will free his daughter." Tan Wenbin paused, "Brother Xiao Yuan, can you tell which pot was used by Meng Meng?"

"There's a mark on her pot here, I had her carve it."

"Oh, that's good." Tan Wenbin rubbed his own cheek; chewing on this tiger whip was exhausting, "Actually, I really understand these guys. Ever since we landed, I've interacted with many of them. They're all people who have been misguided in their pursuit of power. In them, I seem to see the shadows of myself and Ah You."

Li Zhiyuan: "There's nothing wrong with the pursuit of power itself, as long as you can hold onto the control of that power. You and Ah You, you are different from them.

You used fatherly love to move those two resentful babies; they felt it, so they won't harm you.

As for the child... he treasures Ah You more than anyone else now."

The rice was cooked. Li Zhiyuan served himself a bowl, and Tan Wenbin took the rest, pot and all, and began eating with a spoon.

Just after they finished eating, Run Sheng and Yin Meng returned. They had brought back not only three pitch-black little divine statues but also a supply table, incense burner, bowls, and dishes.

Run Sheng said there was something like a large millstone on the ship, which was hard to unload; otherwise, he would have brought it too.

Tan Wenbin couldn't help but laugh quietly. This couple was indeed a perfect match, fearing they'd miss anything, so they just packed everything up and brought it back.

Li Zhiyuan carefully ran his fingers over the three small statues. Though he didn't know who these were devoted to, something extremely important to the Yin God was indeed sealed within the statues, something immensely nourishing.

This was initially prepared for someone to "enhance their power," but now it would all benefit Lin Shuyou.

This was also a form of compensation for Lin Shuyou. After all, he was the most seriously injured here, and from the team's interest perspective, Ah You was indeed used as bait this time.

Carrying the three statues, he walked into the tent.

Lin Shuyou was lying there, sleeping peacefully.

Li Zhiyuan placed the three statues beside Lin Shuyou, opened his right palm, and gathered a blood mist at his thumb, then pressed it onto one of the statues.

"Snap!"

The statue shattered, and a thick azure liquid immediately began to disperse.

Li Zhiyuan closed his palm, enveloped it with his blood mist, and guided it into Lin Shuyou's body.

In an instant, the azure liquid entered Lin Shuyou's body directly.

Lin Shuyou's body tensed immediately, his eyes opened, turning into vertical pupils, so sharply marked they nearly pierced his eye sockets.

"What is this..."

The White Crane Child turned around to look at the boy, so excited that words failed him.

The child knew well that the boy always alternated between harshness and kindness, but it was unavoidable to "fall" as there were simply too many rewards given, making the harshness linger as something gentle.

No one can resist such leadership, not even gods!

This was the accumulation of that one, meant to pave the way for his own entrance into the Zou Jiang. Now, it had been handed to Ah You and the child.

Li Zhiyuan pointed a finger at the White Crane Child.

This action was bold, yet the child showed no sign of anger.

Li Zhiyuan: "I'll allow you to open one eye."

The child bore a serene, innocent smile, unwilling to comply, so Lord of Yin played deaf.

This thing was much needed, capable of absorption in whatever quantity available, but given to the divination child, only a fraction can be absorbed, based solely on the divination child's 'Health Care Fist' method—what a waste.

Boy: "Hmm?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The child immediately closed one eye!

Then realizing it was wrong, the closed eye opened again, though now free of vertical pupils.

Li Zhiyuan knew full well that letting Ah You absorb this was 'unprofitable,' but some matters can't always be assessed through small gains.

The boy opened the remaining two statues and, as before, guided that azure liquid into Lin Shuyou's body.

After full absorption, the child emitted a long hum, the vertical pupils vanished, and he left satisfied.

Lin Shuyou continued to keep his eyes open, his gaze clear.

But soon, his body began to twitch violently.

Lines of different colors appeared on Lin Shuyou's face, neck, and arms.

This seemed like fully applying makeup before performing as a deity.

Finally, Lin Shuyou fully awakened, sat up, looking incredulously at his arms, and chest.

Li Zhiyuan: "Do you need a mirror?"

"Brother Xiao Yuan, I have one." Lin Shuyou took a mirror from his backpack, looked at his face and neck in it, then touched it, "Brother Xiao Yuan, this isn't oil paint?"

Tan Wenbin had been peering at the proceedings inside the tent, and seeing Ah You awake, he couldn't help but tease:

"Isn't it quite good this way? You could save a lot on makeup costs for deity performances in the future."

Li Zhiyuan: "Once you gradually absorb this power, the colors will fade away."

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Yuan..."

Tan Wenbin stepped forward, patting Lin Shuyou on the arm: "Ah You, let's skip this part, it would be a bit awkward."
