Wang Qi's words made him feel that the things happening to him might be real, and that these had influenced the women through his descendants.
Before, Yu'er had always called herself his maid, and he had dismissed it.
Because what Yu'er said should only exist before the Ming and Qing dynasties; it was unheard of in modern times.
Even if it did, it would only be in very wealthy families; for someone like him, it was impossible.
As his abilities grew stronger, his perception and thoughts were no longer limited to this world or this planet.
The universe was vast, and Earth was merely a speck of dust in its immensity.
As for him, he was an unremarkable existence on Earth.
If not for his abilities, he might have long since turned to ashes and been buried in some obscure corner.
Given the current situation, it couldn't be said that he possessed immortality, but it was close.
In the past, he always thought these abilities were powerful enough to let him do whatever he pleased.
Now he realized that these so-called abilities were merely tools for him, or for the great being who created him, to test him.
Yu'er's hesitant words resurfaced in his mind: there had been a mutation back then, which was why Yu'er was imprisoned and transformed into an ability sprite.
And the main reason for this mutation was a rebellion in the harem, someone colluding with the enemy and stabbing him in the back, causing him to die in regret throughout the river of history.
As these events became clearer, he felt that his return was not far off.
Especially in recent times, his contact with women had become more frequent, and the seeds he sowed had multiplied.
It seemed that this was also an important condition for his return.
"Yangzi, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and eat," Zhan Yifang's words interrupted his thoughts.
"Ah? Have you guys eaten?"
"Not yet. Xiaoyu just got back."
"Big brother, what's wrong? I called you several times just now and you didn't respond," Xiaoyu said, looking at him.
"I was lost in thought. How long has it been since school ended?"
"We just got back not long ago. Hurry up and come eat, it'll all get cold soon. Sister Jiajia made it a while ago."
"Let's eat." Guo Xuyang went to the restroom to wash his hands and sat down.
"Are you alright? Why do you look so lost after coming from Kiki's place?" Zhan Yifang asked, looking at him.
"I'm fine. How is the renovation of the upstairs rooms coming along?"
"It's almost done, just needs the wall paint."
"Why not use wallpaper?"
"Xiaoyu doesn't like it; she prefers the natural look."
"Is Xiaoyu keeping up with her studies?" Guo Xuyang turned to look at Xiaoyu.
"She's keeping up, but it's a bit difficult. The teachers here have a faster pace. But with Sister Kiki and Sister Fangfang teaching me, it's manageable."
"If you don't understand, ask. They are both legitimate graduates from prestigious universities," Guo Xuyang said with a smile.
"I know. The methods and approaches the two sisters teach me are more practical than what the teachers teach."
"Good study methods can yield twice the results with half the effort, saving a lot of time for other homework."
"It's true. I feel I've improved a lot compared to before. Big brother, can I take the college entrance exam next year?"
"Do you have confidence?"
"Yes."
"If you do, we'll take it. If you get good results, you go; if not, you can try again when you get back."
"You agreed?" Xiaoyu was surprised that Guo Xuyang agreed so readily.
"Why wouldn't I agree? If you have the ability to get in, why waste another year?"
"Thank you, big brother. I will work hard."
"Go for it, I have faith in you. By the way, Wu Jia, when you go to the restaurant next time, get two portions of lamb, two portions of beef, and two portions of venison. Nutrition must be maintained."
"Should you mention this venison to Manager Liu? I usually only get lamb and beef, I've never gotten venison."
"I'll speak to Liu He when I get back. Have you seen Xiao Yun recently?"
"No, I haven't seen her in a long time. The last time I saw her was at Sister Xiaoxi's baby shower. What's up?"
"Nothing. I noticed she's like she's gone missing. I haven't seen her since she got back."
"Isn't she with the other sisters by the artificial lake? Should I call her?"
"No need. She's usually at the 4s shop or the restaurant, so it's strange that you haven't seen her."
"I heard she was very upset about not getting pregnant last time and apparently went somewhere to find folk remedies? I don't know if she's back or not."
"I understand. Let's eat, don't just keep talking." Guo Xuyang served a bowl of lamb soup.
"This lamb soup is good. Why doesn't Wang Qi drink it?"
"I don't know. She doesn't eat lamb or beef. Sometimes she drinks clear soup, and she's gotten so thin she looks like a different person," Zhan Yifang said.
"When she gets back, prepare some venison for her to eat and see how she does," Guo Xuyang said.
"Or perhaps we should buy a small freezer for her room and get more venison to store in it."
"Does she eat it? If she eats it, we'll prepare it; if not, preparing it is useless."
"Let's see."
After dinner, Xiaoyu went to her room to rest, and Guo Xuyang followed Wu Jia to her room.
"Do you feel anything different with your body?"
"No, why?"
"Have you noticed anything unusual about Wang Qi?"
"She vomits whatever she eats. Other than that, nothing."
"Does she eat the raw beef and lamb you prepared?"
"Raw? How is that possible? I usually prepare it cooked."
"No wonder. From now on, prepare some raw lamb and raw beef and put them in Wang Qi's room to see if she eats them."
"What's wrong, Yangzi? Don't scare me. It's so creepy," Wu Jia said, grabbing Guo Xuyang.
"It's nothing. Wang Qi seems to have a form of pica, an eating disorder caused by pregnancy."
"Are you saying Wang Qi likes to eat raw meat?"
"Today I prepared two pieces of raw venison for her, and after she ate it, she fell asleep."
"No wonder you told me to get two portions at dinner. Should I get one raw and one cooked from now on?"
"That's fine too. She'll be fine after she recovers for a while."
"I still feel a bit scared."
"If you feel anything uncomfortable, tell me immediately."
"Will I become like that if I get pregnant?"
"I don't know. Probably not."
"If you asked me to eat raw meat, I don't think I could."
