Chapter 317: When science can't explain it, use metaphysics to deal with it!

"Bang."

"Thump."

"Clatter."

From time to time, inappropriate sounds came from the kitchen. After Old Master Lu in the side room woke up and came out, seeing his grandson-in-law being clumsy in the kitchen, he thought he had seen a ghost.

He rubbed his eyes; it was correct, it was his grandson-in-law.

Why was he suddenly clumsy?

"Ah Ye, are you not awake yet? Why are you so clumsy?

Forget it, you must have been very busy lately, and your brain is muddled. Leave the kitchen to me; you go watch Xiao Mantou and Xiao Nuomi."

"Yes, thank you, Grandpa."

"Jiang Ye's" face and hands were stained with flour to varying degrees, and his whole person was in a miserable state.

Think of him as a dignified Marquis; since birth, he had been pampered with fine food and clothing, surrounded by servants. Where had he ever done chores?

But the Jiang Ye in his memory, this life's background, was really...

The distraction just now was because "he" suddenly realized why Jiang Ye would be reincarnated into an infant in this era?

Their memories were different; they were different life trajectories. The turning point was at the age of adulthood; before adulthood, the memories matched, but after adulthood, the memories were completely different!

"He" had originally said righteously that they were one person; now, "he" wasn't so confident either.

Idiot, occupying my body, and can't even satisfy the tomato and egg noodles my wife wants to eat. Useless!

Look, when a person is ruthless, he even scolds himself.

Facing Jiang Ye's indiscriminate attack, "Jiang Ye" walked toward the well with a cold face.

"Brother-in-law, today is a day off; how about we go out for a meal outside the Sea Island?"

Lu Xiu Bai greeted him with a smile, but was directly ignored. His hand stiffened in mid-air, and he opened his mouth in astonishment.

What's the situation?

Early in the morning, the brother-in-law gave him a cold face?

The angry Lu Xiu Bai subconsciously used his left hand to grab his brother-in-law's shoulder, and then—

"Ah!"

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!

He was directly thrown over the shoulder and pressed to the ground.

"Let me go, it hurts to death!"

Lu Xiu Bai was truly angry now. Why was the brother-in-law so heavy-handed, rubbing his handsome cheek on the ground? Is this right?

"You were the one who attacked first."

"Jiang Ye" released him after a short thought.

He thought it was a sneak attack, so subconsciously he...

After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, he was struck by lightning—

Lu Xiao?

"Letting your hands be lazy, see if you dare to sneak attack your brother-in-law again in the future."

Pei Yan Ting came over with her daughter to check the situation. Seeing that it was just a play between men, she didn't take it to heart.

"Iya ya."

Lian Lian saw her aunt's husband pressing her father, and immediately glared at her aunt's husband fiercely.

Although she liked the pretty aunt's husband, she liked her father even more!

"Awu."

The little teeth were bared, milky and fierce.

"Jiang Ye's" eyebrows knitted even tighter. Pei Yueting.

"He" looked at Lu Xiao, who was now "his" brother-in-law, and then looked at Pei Yueting, who was now "his" sister-in-law.

Eh?

It's a mess, it's all a mess.

"He" suspected that they had all guessed wrong; it wasn't just two lives, right? 【317

The morning was spent in chaos. Tangyuan didn't know where it had hidden, and it hadn't even been home for breakfast.

"Jiang Ye" made an excuse about having things to do and went out.

The whole family felt that Jiang Ye was acting strange today, but they couldn't put their finger on what exactly was wrong.

Clearly, he was still the same person, but his attitude toward them was noticeably distant and carried a sense of scrutiny.

Only Shen Man knew that the core of her husband had changed.

Melancholy—could he ever change back?

Even with the identical face and physique, the moment she thought about how it wasn't her own husband in the flesh, she wilted.

What had Tangyuan gone to do?

It had gone to find peach wood!

When science couldn't explain something, one had to use metaphysics to deal with it!

With a huff and a puff, it picked out a hundred-year-old peach tree and pulled it up by the roots to store in the space!

Eager to return, it found an angle and flashed back into the space.

Then, it meowed and meowed, calling for its master to come in!

In the main room, Amei was very good at looking after the children, and Shen Man felt very at ease.

After hearing Tangyuan's signal, she greeted Amei, went to the bathroom, closed the door, and flashed into the space.

"Meow."

Master, peach wood. This is a hundred-year-old peach tree; it can ward off evil.

"Do you think the thing on A-Ye is an evil spirit? But I feel like he has no hostility and hasn't hurt anyone..."

The most crucial thing is that there is a golden light in the center of his chest; that can't be faked.

If the other party had malicious intent, she would be able to tell!

Gold—that is the soul color possessed only by special existences.

"Meow."

But he isn't a big shot; a big shot wouldn't pinch my neck.

Tangyuan aggrievedly raised its neck, though unfortunately, it was all fur, so the pinch marks were impossible to see.

"He pinched you?"

Shen Man had been a bit hesitant before, but now she wasn't.

"Meow."

He did. If I hadn't pretended to be an ordinary cat and acted cute, he might have really pinched me to death.

Tangyuan tattled; it only liked the original big shot!

It didn't like this stranger!

Even if the power of merit on the other party was very strong and absorbing some would be good for it, it still didn't like him!

Shen Man stroked Tangyuan's head and nodded, pondering how to awaken her husband's true self.

"Is this peach wood useful?"

"Meow."

Evil spirits are all afraid of it, so it should be useful.

"Alright, I'll process the peach tree right now."

Inside the space, Shen Man had absolute control.

With Tangyuan offering advice, a thumb-sized peach wood sword was soon fresh out of the oven.

Tied with a red string and with the edges smoothed down, it looked quite exquisite as a small charm.

As for the largest one, a normal-sized peach wood sword, Shen Man gripped it tightly, though it felt rather amateurish.

Man proposes, God disposes; if she didn't try, what if it worked?

Over here, "Jiang Ye" found a secluded spot and spoke to himself—

"Didn't you notice the suspicious parts? How could Lu Xiao and Pei Yuting become your brother-in-law and sister-in-law?"

"Lu Xiao, Pei Yuting, who are they? Do you mean Lu Xiu Bai and Pei Yan Ting?"

"You... don't remember Lu Xiao?"

"I don't. In my memories of my past life, they don't exist."

"Jiang Ye" went silent, and the Jiang Ye in his mind went silent too. With the two of them having equal intelligence, whatever the other could think of, he could think of too.

"Is there a possibility that we are people from different worlds, or people who existed in different timelines?"

"What you experienced and what I experienced have similarities, but also differences."

"For example, your memories and my memories both truly existed."

"In this world, can there be two identical flowers?"

"..."

The fact that two people could appear in one body, and that Jiang Ye could be reborn—the existence of "Jiang Ye" was a phenomenon that no materialist could explain.

"Let's not worry about that for now. Give me back control of the body. What you did this morning was excessive and will cause unnecessary trouble."

"Hmm?"

"Jiang Ye" thought for a moment and agreed, but added, "Before we fully figure out the reason, you are not allowed to occupy this body, and you are not allowed to occupy my wife."

"Fine."

Jiang Ye agreed quickly. Once he regained control of the body, what he was thinking surfaced—

I won't occupy the body, but if my wife needs me to, I am happy to contribute...

"Jiang Ye":???

Damn it, I got played.
