Rebirth: I was born into the Golden Elixir Stage

"Well...it's nothing." Zhu San hesitated whether to tell Chen Diji about this matter, but then he thought again, since the matter had been resolved anyway, it might be okay to tell him.

"Well," he changed the subject, "something did happen last night."

"But don't worry, the matter has been resolved."

Don't tell me? Chen Diji frowned slightly. This was the first time he saw Zhu San not telling him something.

He asked, "What is it?"

"Isn't it just the thing that happened before?" Seeing that Chen Diji insisted on getting to the bottom of it, Zhu San was about to answer when he heard Chen Diji continue asking.

"Is it related to Zhu Wuhen?"

As soon as he said this, Zhu San looked up suddenly.

Wow, it’s really Zhu Wuhen.

Chen Diji couldn't explain his feelings for Zhu Wuhen, but as a 24-year-old soul, Chen Diji felt very sympathetic towards Zhu Wuhen, who was only a few years old.

In his eyes, Zhu Wuhen was well-behaved and obedient, and his personality was first-rate, but he had suffered a great disaster in the past, which forced him to live like a beggar.

Thinking of Zhu Wuhen, he frowned.

Zhu Wuhen's life is so miserable.

He always felt that Zhu Wuhen had experienced a lot and that the burden on him was too heavy. He practiced all the time every day. He wanted to become stronger, even stronger than Chen Diji.

After finally being accepted into the sect, he didn't expect that Xian Youran would come and want to steal his soul.

Oh no! What happened last night was not done by Xian Youran! Could it be that...he went to find Zhu Wuhen again?

Thinking of this, Chen Diji waved his hand, and a path appeared in the bamboo forest.

"But you don't have to worry." Zhu San said, "I have already solved the problem. It's just that my soul has not returned to its place yet. I need to sleep for a while. I think I will wake up soon."

After saying that, he looked towards Chen Diji's position and found that Chen Diji had disappeared.

"Eighth Junior Brother! Eighth Junior Brother!"

No wonder I said that I felt something weird early this morning. I thought the incident happened to Zhu San, but I didn’t expect it to be Zhu Wuhen.

He ran to the hut where Zhu Wuhen was and found that his second, fourth and fifth senior brothers were all there, and even Zhi Yan and Li Guang, who were supposed to pick him up, were there.

A faint sobbing sound was heard. It was Zhiyan, she was crying.

The others, including his fellow brothers, had gloomy expressions, as if something big had happened.

Chen Diji's heart was pounding with nervousness. Eighth Junior Brother...he wouldn't...

When he thought of the scene he shouldn't think of, his eyes suddenly turned red.

No, he will be fine!

While denying it in his heart, Chen Diji rushed to Zhu Wuhen's room, opened the door, and saw Zhu Wuhen's body lying quietly on the bed.

In this world, except for Baihu and Zhu San, this was the first time he was so afraid of someone leaving.

He felt so heartbroken that tears welled up in his eyes and he almost couldn't breathe.

He walked to Zhu Wuhen's side, raised his hand and pushed him, and asked, "Eighth Junior Brother! Wake up."

There was a cry in his voice. He was really scared, scared of this boy who regarded him as family.

"Eighth Junior Brother..."

"Eighth Junior Brother..."

"Eighth Junior Brother... please don't leave me..."

Chen Diji cried out in a loud voice, and finally he couldn't control his emotions anymore and he cried out loud.

A sound of "Wow..." came from the house, and the people outside the house became even more sad. The sound of cigarettes exploding followed, and then Li Guang sobbed softly.

Half a year is enough time for them to develop feelings.

Even if they are not close friends or relatives, one would feel grief in one's heart when hearing of the death of a fellow disciple, not to mention that they had been together for half a year.

"Eighth Junior Brother...please take care of me...I don't want you to leave..."

Chen Diji climbed onto the bed in disbelief, and laid his whole body on Zhu Wuhen, with his head tilted and one ear pressed against Zhu Wuhen's chest.

No heartbeat...

He has no heartbeat...

He is really...dead...

Tears blurred his vision. He never thought that after only being in the world for half a year, he would have such deep feelings for someone.

Perhaps it was because he had a deep impression of the boy when he first met him, or maybe it was because he always saw Zhu Wuhen practicing day and night and showing endless care for him.

Not only did Zhu Wuhen treat him as a family member, but he... also treated Zhu Wuhen as a family member.

Before this, he never knew that Zhu Wuhen meant so much to him, but when Zhu Wuhen really left, he felt extremely sad.

What kind of feeling is this?

Chen Diji couldn't believe that he could develop such deep feelings for someone in such a short time, and he began to think in his little head.

What kind of feeling is this?

younger brother?

elder brother?

No! Neither! It's my son!

Every time he thought of Zhu Wuhen's bloodstains on the 9,999 steps, he couldn't help but feel pity for him and treated him as his own child.

If I were his father, I would never let him suffer such hardship.

"It's so noisy!" Chen Diji lay on Zhu Wuhen's body and cried loudly. A somewhat strange but very familiar voice came, and he said, "Kid, why are you so noisy?"

At first Chen Diji thought it was Zhu Wuhen who made the sound. He quickly looked down and saw that Zhu Wuhen was still sleeping and unwilling to wake up.

At this moment, the voice sounded again.

"Puchi!" He chuckled and said, "Whose child are you from? You are so dark."

"Oh, I see." He seemed to have seen Chen Diji's face clearly and said, "It's you, little brat!"

"Who are you calling a brat?" Chen Diji stopped crying immediately. He sat on Zhu Wuhen's body, waving his claws in anger. "I'm not a brat. I have a name. My name is Chen Diji."

"Chen...Di...Ji!" The voice in the void read the name again, and then said, "Okay, I remember it! Little Black Egg."

Little...little black egg!

Damn it! Apart from the group of people in the fairy world, he had never been called by anyone else. Unexpectedly... when he came to the human world, this abominable name would be called upon him again.

He was about to get angry, but then he thought of Zhu Wuhen under him, and tears suddenly welled up in his eyes again.

"Don't talk to me." Chen Diji said in a crying voice, "Can't you see that I'm in pain?"

"So I ask you...why are you crying!"

Asking questions knowingly!

Chen Diji complained in his heart that he now hated the owner of this voice so much that he really had no tact at all.

"My junior brother died, and I can't cry?" he said.

"Ah..." The owner of the voice dragged out the sound as if he had just reacted. After a long while, seeing that Chen Diji had cried enough, he continued, "But... your junior brother is not dead!"

"Not dead?" Upon hearing this, Chen Diji's eyes widened immediately, and his tears stopped flowing. He hoped very much in his heart that this was true.

"Of course it's true. I won't lie to you."

"You're lying." Chen Diji scratched Zhu Wuhen's face several times. He listened to Zhu Wuhen's heartbeat over and over again, and finally came to the conclusion that his junior brother was gone. Then he cried again, "Junior brother's heartbeat... stopped, junior brother... is gone..."

"Wow..."

"Damn..." Hearing Chen Diji crying loudly, he said helplessly, "It's really a headache to meet such a child..."
