Lei Yu immediately panicked, trying to spit the round bead out, but now it had become an impossible feat.
Afraid of any adverse effect, Lei Yu immediately sat down cross-legged. Monitoring the internal changes, he saw that once the round bead entered his mouth, it turned into a gas and went straight to his dantian where his purple energy resided. Both forces collided together for a short period of time, then calmed down. Lei Yu did not notice any feelings of discomfort, and did not feel anything else unusual. After a long period of observation, no conclusion could be made.
Opening his eyes, Lei Yu looked at the direction the river was flowing in. He himself floated down the river, therefore if he followed the opposite direction, he should be able to get back to the city. Making up his mind, he went to pick more of the fruits he had been eating for the past year. He then used his tattered clothing to wrap the fruits up. Ignoring his leg injury, he limped towards his destination.

Outside the Lei’s family main gate, a teen similar to Lei Yu’s age asked: “Where is Lei Yu? Is he home?”
Curling his lips in disdain, a man wearing a black suit replies: “Lei Yu? You mean that vile spawn? He’s dead.”
