Chapter 5

Yulinghe slowly opened his eyes, and gradually stood up. He looked at his body in surprise, and his breathing became rapid in an instant.

This was because he suddenly realized that his body had changed.

If after taking the Star Marrow Pill, his body had undergone some changes, but that was just a feeling, like the sensation of unloading a burden that had been carried for years. Although it felt light, it did not easily show on the surface of his body. However, this time it seemed to be completely different.

Yulinghe clearly felt the changes in his flesh. This change was not a vague, intangible feeling from the spirit, but a real and intense impact.

He clenched his fists, feeling the immense power emanating from deep within his body.

At this moment, he felt as if he had become an invincible powerhouse. Looking at his fist, he even had a strange thought. If he swung his fist now, no matter what was in front of him, it would be shattered into pieces. Even if it was a mountain, he could do it.

Moreover, he felt that his body was as light as a feather, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

Such a significant change could not be ignored by anyone.

"Ooh... ooh..."

Outside the window, the familiar rooster crowed. He looked up and realized that an entire night had passed.

He pushed the door open and looked into the distance. The sunlight, which usually felt blinding, now seemed very gentle. A faint smile appeared on his lips, and the gloom in his heart was swept away. He knew that after this night, he had undergone a complete transformation.

His ears twitched slightly, and he immediately caught the sound of footsteps.

If it were before, Yulinghe would definitely not have heard such a low sound. But today, everything was different. He not only easily heard this sound but also knew who the owner of the sound was.

He took a step forward and opened the door first.

Outside the door, Yuziyan looked at him in surprise and smiled after a moment, saying, "Little brother, how do you feel?"

Yulinghe nodded heavily and said, "Sister, thank you." This gratitude might be because it came from two different souls, so it seemed particularly sincere.

Yuziyan smiled gently and said, "Since we are siblings, do we need to thank each other?"

Yulinghe nodded heavily. Since he had made up his mind, he would act according to his heart in the future, and there was no need for polite words.

Yuziyan looked up and down at her brother, and after a moment, her expression suddenly changed.

"Little brother, your body... no, there seems to be a star force reaction on you."

Yulinghe chuckled and said, "Sister, you can't fool you. The Star Marrow Pill you brought indeed has a miraculous effect."

Yuziyan looked puzzled and incredulous. She waved her hand and was about to speak when a loud voice came from outside the door, "Miss Yu, I am here by the order of the city lord to invite you."

Her eyebrows furrowed, and she sighed softly, saying, "Little brother, stay at home for now. We'll talk about anything when I come back." She gently patted her brother's shoulder, though she was reluctant, she finally turned around.

Yulinghe stammered, though he had a thousand words to say, but when the words reached his lips, he said softly, "Sister, take care."

Yuziyan stopped, petted his head affectionately, and said, "I'm just going to the city lord's residence, don't make it seem like a life-and-death farewell."

Yulinghe smiled awkwardly and watched his sister leave.

If it were before, after a sleepless night, he would definitely be drowsy and listless the next day. But now, he was completely different. Not only did he feel no physical fatigue, but his spirit was also vibrant, with no sign of exhaustion.

After a brief hesitation, Yulinghe finally took a big step and left home.

Since he had taken over this body, this was the first time he had left the courtyard. As soon as he went out, someone greeted him. Yulinghe responded according to his memory and sped up his pace. In a short while, he had already left the village.

Their home was in a small town with over a hundred households. However, apart from Shen Sheng and Uncle Fu, he had no other concerns for the rest of the people.

Perhaps because of his good mood, his steps became faster. Before long, he had left the village and entered the wilderness behind it.

Although this was a mountainous area, it was close to the village, so there were no large wild beasts living there.

Yulinghe took a big step, ready to run wildly and test how much his body had changed. However, his ears twitched again.

For some reason, after the star force infusion yesterday, his hearing seemed to have become extremely acute, especially for footsteps.

He felt a slight movement in his heart, crouched down, and hid in the grass.

After a moment, two figures appeared nearby, their faces covered with thick masks, completely concealing their faces. When they stopped and looked around, Yulinghe's heart tightened.

Although there was no evidence, he had a feeling that these two were after him.

These two looked around for a long time but found nothing. They looked at each other and finally one of them said, "Brother, has that kid taken the Star Marrow Pill?"

The other hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, but no matter if he has taken it or not, since we have found the opportunity, we can't let it slip."

He clenched his fists and said angrily, "Why should he have the Star Marrow Pill and we don't? It's really unreasonable."

Yulinghe crouched in the grass, not daring to move. Although he had military experience in his previous life, the body he was in now was still a half-grown child. The two masked men exuded a fierce aura, making him dare not act rashly.

However, sometimes, even if you don't want to cause trouble, trouble will come to you.

When Yulinghe heard that these two were indeed after him, he was slightly panicked and involuntarily took a step back, accidentally stepping on a dry branch. The branch couldn't withstand his force and snapped with a "crack."

The two masked men were startled, looked at each other, and quickly came over.

At this moment, even if Yulinghe wanted to run, it was clearly too late. He smiled bitterly, stood up, and bowed to the two men, saying, "Gentlemen, I apologize for disturbing you."

The two men were both surprised and delighted, laughing out loud. One of them said loudly, "Mr. Yu, where is the Star Marrow Pill? Hand it over obediently, and we'll spare your life."

The other nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, hand it over quickly."

Their four eyes glowed green with greed.

For most ordinary people in this world, the Star Marrow Pill was the only way to improve their status. To obtain this pill, even risking their lives was worth it.

Yulinghe took a deep breath, trying to suppress his rapidly beating heart, which was almost in his throat. He let his hands hang down, not making any movements that might be misunderstood.

Then, he said slowly, "Gentlemen, you must be mistaken. I am just an ordinary person, how could I possibly have such a treasure as the Star Marrow Pill?" He paused and added, "If I really had the Star Marrow Pill, would I be a useless person who can't absorb star force?"

The two men were taken aback, exchanged a glance, and one of them sneered, "Mr. Yu, don't try to fool us. Your sister has already obtained a Star Marrow Pill from the city lord. As long as you hand it over, we'll leave and won't harm you."

Yulinghe's face immediately showed anger, and he said quickly, "Gentlemen, don't believe lies. My sister has never obtained any Star Marrow Pill." He asked hurriedly, "May I ask from whom you heard this information?"

One of them subconsciously said, "It was Mao..."

"Shut up," the other man shouted, turning his head and saying, "Mr. Yu, you don't need to ask so many questions. Whether you have the Star Marrow Pill or not, you must hand it over today." He grinned and said, "If you have it, that's even better. If not, well, we'll have to take you and make your sister exchange the Star Marrow Pill for you."

Yulinghe's head suddenly lifted, and his gaze became sharp.

Perhaps because of this body, Yuziyan was like a forbidden scale in his heart, and no one could desecrate her.

Now, these two dared to use him to threaten Yuziyan, which naturally aroused his boundless anger.

The two men were intimidated by Yulinghe's gaze and felt a chill. They thought it was strange, and one of them whispered, "Brother, don't waste time with him, just take him first."

"Alright."

The other man responded loudly, took a big step, and walked toward Yulinghe, extending his large hand to grab him.

These two were tall and strong, though they had not cultivated star force, they were naturally powerful. Facing Yulinghe, a half-grown child, they could easily capture him.

However, Yulinghe's situation was somewhat strange.

His eyes were peculiar, and as he looked at the large hand reaching out, he did not turn to run. Instead, he clenched his fist, gritted his teeth, and punched straight at the hand.
