Rebirth: I was born into the Golden Elixir Stage

Chen Diji sat down on the chair, his body twitching, but his cheeks were rosy and his skin was fair. He was wearing an extremely luxurious dress. No matter how you looked at him, he didn't look like he was starving.

But he frowned, held his stomach with both hands, and kept groaning, "I'm so hungry, baby is so hungry, baby wants to eat."

It was the first time he called himself that, and immediately, goosebumps appeared all over his body.

Seeing Chen Diji in such pain, the thin man quickly gave the only food in the house to Chen Diji, with a hint of worry in his eyes, "Eat quickly! You won't feel uncomfortable after eating this!"

"You came from... a lot of older brothers, right? Alas... how come they can't even raise a child properly?" As he spoke, he frowned, looked at Chen Diji with a bit of coldness in his eyes, and said for no reason, "Eat well so you can get going. We won't let you die of hunger and be reincarnated as ghosts."

Chen Diji raised his head suddenly, his eyes blinking and his eyelashes fluttering, "What did you say?"

The man didn't expect Chen Diji to hear clearly. He thought Chen Diji was a three-year-old child who didn't understand it at all. Unexpectedly, Chen Diji not only heard it, but also asked back.

Suddenly, thousands of thoughts flashed through his eyes, and he hesitated whether to tell the truth to the ignorant child in front of him. After all, the child can be coaxed easily, so why not pour out the secret that has been hidden in his heart for several years?

Now is a good time!

His eyes were slightly narrowed, revealing strong malice.

Chen Diji tilted his head, pretending to be innocent, and asked in a baby voice, "What were you talking about just now? What is a full-dead ghost? Why do you want to be a ghost?"

The thin man raised his lips and smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits, "A gluttonous ghost, a gluttonous ghost is a ghost that dies after eating a lot."

"But we won't die, so why would we become ghosts?"

"You won't die now, but you can't say for sure in three days..." The thin man said seriously. He laughed twice and stared at Chen Diji. This look made Chen Diji very uncomfortable, as if tens of thousands of ants were crawling on his body. The thin man didn't care whether Chen Diji was comfortable or not. He slowly opened his mouth and tempted him, "Do you want to know? If you want to know, just tell me and I'll tell you."

"Hmm..." Chen Diji hesitated, frowning slightly, as if he was in a dilemma. Although he really wanted to know something, it seemed that the thin man opposite him wanted to tell the secret more than he did. Thinking of this, he had an idea, "Forget it, my mother told me not to ask other people's secrets casually, otherwise... I will be disliked by others."

When the thin man heard this, he quickly said, "No, if you want to know, I will tell you, and I won't hate you."

"Really?" Chen Diji asked back, curiosity in his eyes.

"Of course it's true, so... do you want to know?"

"Hmm..." Chen Diji saw the thin man's urgency, but he was unwilling to do as the thin man wished. He frowned again after finally loosening his brows, and muttered, "Forget it, my mother told me not to meddle in other people's business, and I still want to listen to her."

The thin man lost his patience, he closed his eyes slightly and leaned back in his chair.

Humph! I told you I don’t like kids!

He looked at Chen Diji with a hint of disgust, his chest heaving, he was irritated by Chen Diji, his pale lips trembling. After a long while, he finally calmed down.

Chen Diji didn't want to listen, but he insisted on speaking.

"How about this!" He approached Chen Diji, "Your mother won't let you ask, so I'll tell you."

"Really?" Chen Diji's eyes sparkled, and he seemed to be very interested. He looked at the thin man's eyes with great expectation. The thin man's eyes were full of smiles. Seeing that Chen Diji had taken the bait, he slowly said, "Of course, all this depends on..."

"That's great! Is it a story?" Without waiting for the thin man to touch his wrist, Chen Diji abruptly interrupted him.

The thin man was shaking with anger and whispered, "I hate being interrupted when I'm talking!"

But looking at Chen Diji's extremely expectant eyes, he nodded angrily and said, "You can listen to it as a story."

"That's great!" After Chen Diji finished his meal, he stood up immediately. He seemed to be asking for the man's opinion. He asked, "Can I ask my friends to come and listen together?"

"Friends?" The thin man thought that Chen Diji was the only one there, but he didn't expect that there were other children. He was stunned. When did those guards become so useless?

"Is it okay, uncle?" Chen Diji saw that the thin man had not spoken. He thought the man was going to go back on his word, so he asked cautiously, "I...my friend also likes to listen to stories."

He had tears in his eyes as he spoke, looking very pitiful, "If...if you don't want to, then...then I won't listen."

Chen Diji didn't really want to share the news with Chu Weizheng, but he thought that the man in front of him had ulterior motives, so he might as well call Chu Weizheng to irritate this man.

The thin man kept his eyes on Chen Diji, as if thinking about this possibility.

They are all children, so it shouldn’t be a problem to tell them!

I have been holding this matter in my heart for so long that it is killing me. My father and his family do not allow us to tell them, but I am telling this to a dying person who is just a child...it should be no problem...

After thinking it over, he smiled kindly at Chen Diji again, "Of course, but where is your friend? Go call him over!"

"Okay!" Chen Diji ran to the door and pulled it open. When he was about to leave, he turned around and looked at the thin man with concern, "You...you won't leave!"

"I won't leave, but you have to come here as soon as possible. If you don't come soon, I can't promise."

Upon hearing this, Chen Diji quickly left with his short legs, but before leaving he left a message, "Wait for me, he is nearby, I will be back soon."

After saying that, his figure completely disappeared. The door was open and the cold wind whistled in. The thin man was immediately shivering with cold. He used all his strength to run to the door and slammed it shut.

After the door was closed, he slowly sat down on the ground against the door, his body trembling. He hunched his waist and curled himself into a ball.

There was only a slight breeze, but a layer of frost formed on his eyebrows, as if he had been outside all night.

After Chen Diji walked out of the door, he could easily sense the breath in the room. The thin man's every move was also within his sensing range. He found that the man's body temperature seemed to be dropping rapidly, which was unlike the normal body temperature of a normal person.

What secret is here?

His face looked slightly gloomy, and he always felt that this village was not simple.

The people in the main capital did not realize that there was such a place here, and he had never heard of it before. The most important thing is that the Chen Mansion has not found them yet, which means... there must be something wrong here.

"How did you get out from inside?" Chen Diji frowned in thought. Suddenly, Chu Weizhen's voice came. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Chu Weizhen had hidden in the tree at some point.

He looked up at Chu Weizhen and beckoned him to come down, "Come down! I found an uncle who wants to tell us a story. Shall we go and listen to the story together?"

Chen Diji acted like a child, and Chu Weizheng was a little unable to adapt to it for a while. When had he ever heard Chen Diji speak like this?

He frowned, hesitating whether to go down, only to see Chen Diji continue to shout, "Can't you come down? If you don't come down, you won't be able to hear the story."

Chen Diji pointed inside as he spoke, and continued, "I met a very nice uncle inside. He not only gave me food, but was also willing to tell me stories. I treat you as a friend, so I want to take you with me to listen to the stories. If you don't want to, then... I will go and listen by myself."

He turned around and was about to leave, but Chu Weizhen quickly jumped down from the tree and said, "Don't go. I'll go with you and listen. Is that uncle really so kind that he's willing to tell us a story?"

"Yeah!" Chen Diji was extremely confident. He nodded solemnly, "Uncle is a very nice person. I like uncle."

Then, he lowered his voice again and complained to Chu Weizhen carefully, "He must be feeling uncomfortable holding things in his heart, and wants to find someone to talk to."

"We were all kids, so he had no defense and wanted to vent everything in his heart."

After saying that, Chu Weizhen glanced at him with a meaningful tone, "In other words... he is a... colander?"
