"Okay, okay, thank you, Brother Yuyou~"

Ningbao happily shook her head and swayed her body; she had never eaten anything like the Ice Fruit before.

Wen Ya, who was standing to the side, was thinking, "Ning Bao can address people normally, so why does he always call me 'Big Brother Ghost'?"

Yu You, however, was thinking that cubs were indeed terrifying creatures. He had actually begun to get used to them and was even taking special care of a cub's feelings. This was truly a terrifying ability.

Now that they were full, it was time to get down to business. Although Ningbao actually wanted to take a nap, seeing Wenya and Yuyou's serious expressions, she yawned and tried to pry open her eyelids with her paws.

"We previously suspected that the final task here was to piece together a corpse. By the way, can you still piece back together that pile of meat chunks that you just turned into mincemeat?"

……

No, some parts are still missing.

... "

Ningbao listened in a daze, feeling like she was asleep, but also like she wasn't. It was possible that she was asleep for a while and not asleep for a while. In any case, her mind wasn't very clear.

……

"Ningbao, wake up! We've already pieced the bodies back together!"

Wenya nudged the puppy that was sleeping sprawled out on the ground.

"Huff~ Huff~"

Ningbao waved her little paw impatiently in her dream, turned over, and continued sleeping.

"Ningbao!"

Wenya was truly exasperated. She had offered to help, but Ningbao had fallen asleep after only a few words. Sigh, but little ones really need sleep, so there was nothing she could do. That's why she didn't wake Ningbao; after all, Ningbao wouldn't be of much help if he were awake.

But now that the mental activity is over, it's time to get physical. Why hasn't Ningbao woken up yet?

"I'll do it."

Yu You picked Ning Bao up directly, and wisps of ghostly energy spread from his palm, making the sleeping Ning Bao shiver from the cold.

"Mumu, Ningbao, wake up, it's time to go to kindergarten..."

In her half-awake state, Ningbao thought Mumu had pulled off her blanket again, and mumbled unconsciously while rubbing her eyes with her little hands.

Yu You thought Ning Bao had woken up, so he put her back on the ground.

Ningbao lay on the ground, her eyes half-open and dazed, motionless for a long time. Yu You and Wen Ya waited for two or three minutes, and then saw Ningbao finally move, but then she lowered her head and lay back down.

Yu You: ...

He had underestimated the cubs.

It took the wolf and the ghost 15 minutes to finally wake Ningbao up. Yuyou was starting to doubt her own existence; how come this weak, troublesome, and spoiled brat hadn't been eliminated by nature yet?

Of course, Yu You's idea is based on the fact that demons do not have a cub form at all. Moreover, Yu You has no friends at all. If he had a friend of another race, he would tell him that cubs all have parents to take care of them.

If all the offspring are eliminated by nature, wouldn't the entire species perish?

Besides, what kind of spoiled brat is Ningbao? What spoiled brat is so resilient? It's definitely troublesome, as Wenya, who doesn't know how to take care of kids, knows all too well.

"Ningbao, come and see."

After finally managing to wake Ningbao up, Wenya immediately pulled Ningbao to the reassembled corpse.

Ning Bao's delayed brain slowly started working. She looked at the corpse, then at Yu You, then back at the corpse, then back at Yu You.

"Big brother, you two look so alike!"

It's more than just similar; it's completely pieced together, and it looks like the same person, only at a different age. The corpse looks younger, while Yu You looks older.

"That's not all, Ningbao, do you remember? Brother Pizi was always afraid of those monsters, even though he could have easily beaten us."

"It doesn't look like it at all. I'm not afraid, I hate it."

Yu You's face remained expressionless.

"And I didn't have a childhood, nor am I a twin."

Ning Bao nodded to Wen Ya for a moment, then to Yu You, feeling that everyone's points made sense. And...

Ning Bao stared at the ordinary corpse for a while longer. Although the corpse really resembled Yu You, it also looked a lot like Gui Ya. When she first saw Yu You, she thought Yu You and Gui Ya looked alike. This corpse seemed to resemble Gui Ya even more than Yu You, but it also looked a lot like Yu You. Hmm, all three ghosts look very similar.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

"Big brother, do all people of your race look like this?"

Why would you think that?

Yu You was stunned for a moment:

"Of course not..."

Halfway through his sentence, he realized that dogs probably couldn't really tell the difference between ghosts, so he continued:

"The differences in appearance between ghosts are similar to the differences in appearance between giants."

Ning Bao scratched her head in confusion. It wasn't like she and Wen Ya hadn't seen giants before. In other words, under normal circumstances, ghosts couldn't possibly look so alike; they all looked like they were carved from the same mold.

"So what's going on here?"

Wenya was more concerned about something else: why could a ghost, even after being dismembered, have each part transform into a monster? If every creature in the ghost world were like that, wouldn't they be invincible?

"Theoretically speaking, it's possible. Ghosts and monsters can transform into each other; a ghost might become a monster when it dies, and a monster might become a ghost when it dies, but it's not certain."

Yu You explained:

"Only monsters born directly from heaven and earth can become ghosts after they die; bloodline inheritance doesn't work. And only powerful ghosts can become monsters after death... However, this transformation doesn't inherit memories or personality, so death is simply death; it can be understood as a kind of zombie transformation."

A few days earlier, Wenya would probably have asked a stupid question like "Do ghosts die?" But things are different now, and she has a general understanding of the concept of "ghosts".

In fact, the so-called "ghosts" in this world are not the same as the "ghosts" she knew in the Beast Taming World. Ghosts are not souls; they have physical bodies and can die. To put it bluntly, they are just another form of life.

but……

"If we dismember every powerful ghost into countless pieces after it dies, wouldn't that create many more powerful monsters, making it easier to cheat?"

Ning Bao nodded in agreement. Even so, the goblins hadn't won against the giants. Was it because the giants were simply too strong, or the goblins were too weak? Or perhaps, the goblins weren't as united as the giants?
