Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Because of her sister, Li Yu extremely disliked those simple little demons who would disregard everything for love.

Actually, saying she disliked them is not correct. It should be said that it was a kind of hate iron for not becoming steel, mixed with some pity and anger - a complex emotion.

Qi Shuangshuang could understand Li Yu’s thoughts, but Feng Lin was someone who spoke without much thought. When he realized he had touched a sore spot for Li Yu, he didn’t dare to speak further, fearing he’d say something wrong again.

After Qi Shuangshuang interrupted Feng Lin, she turned her attention back to Ziteng, and apologized on behalf of Li Yu: ”Miss Ziteng, although Li Yu’s words are harsh, he means no harm. Please, don’t take offense.”

Ziteng smiled bitterly, her pale face full of bitterness as she said, ”The little demon is not angry. The senior is right. It’s indeed the little demon’s own disgrace. If only I had cultivated seriously and become stronger sooner, even betrayal would not have led to such an outcome.”

”Rest assured, Miss Ziteng. Since you have come to the Yin Yang Inn, you are our guest, and we will do our best to fulfill the guest’s wishes, ensuring you can enter the Yellow Springs unburdened and be reborn sooner.”

Ziteng stood up and deeply bowed to Qi Shuangshuang: ”Then I entrust the shopkeeper to help the little demon exact revenge. The little demon is extremely grateful.”

Since it was a matter of resolving grievances and obsessions, naturally, one had to return to the mortal world to find Ziteng’s enemies, following the rules of the Underworld that a life’s end leads directly to revenge.

If the person’s lifespan wasn’t over, then mark them, allowing Ziteng to trouble them first but not kill them until their lifespan ended to settle accounts comprehensively.

Qi Shuangshuang was about to leave, but the Yin Yang Inn couldn’t be left unattended. Qi Shuangshuang was now calculating who to take on this trip.

First of all, Pei Shaosen could not be taken along. He just signed a contract with the Yin Yang Inn and hadn’t started cultivation, so he had no strength. Taking him would be purely for sightseeing, and she’d have to spare efforts to protect him.

Moreover, Pei Shaosen’s main responsibility was bookkeeping. Going out was beyond Pei Shaosen’s job scope.

Besides Pei Shaosen, the only ones available to leave with Qi Shuangshuang were Feng Lin and Li Yu.

In the past, Qi Shuangshuang mostly left with Li Yu or went alone. Li Yu had strong combat power and could help Qi Shuangshuang a lot.

As for Feng Lin, Qi Shuangshuang rarely took him out. One reason was that Feng Lin’s combat power was not strong; the main reason was that Feng Lin’s temperament was too lively and restless. Taking him out required some divine attention to watch over him, which was exhausting.

However, this time Qi Shuangshuang didn’t plan to take Li Yu along mainly because she feared that Li Yu might be uneasy, so Qi Shuangshuang planned to take Ziteng to the mortal world alone.

Of course, before taking Ziteng away, Qi Shuangshuang didn’t forget to have Pei Shaosen do the bookkeeping for Ziteng. This was to ensure that what Ziteng said was all true, without deceit or concealment.

After the bookkeeping, Qi Shuangshuang prepared to take Ziteng away from the Yin Yang Inn. To Qi Shuangshuang’s surprise, Li Yu actively followed Qi Shuangshuang, clearly intending to go to the mortal world together.

Qi Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment and looked at Li Yu, whose expression was clearly not good: ”Li Yu, maybe you should stay in the inn this time, I can go by myself.”

Li Yu shook his head, walked to Qi Shuangshuang’s side, and said: ”You won’t manage alone if you go out. I’m not that fragile, the shopkeeper doesn’t need to always consider my feelings, I’m not a child anymore, I know my limits.”

Seeing Li Yu insist, Qi Shuangshuang didn’t continue to oppose it. Li Yu was always reliable, and Qi Shuangshuang was not worried about Li Yu messing things up halfway.

From the Yin Yang Inn to the mortal world, it was just a thought away. As soon as Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu, along with Ziteng, arrived in the mortal world, their first task was to find Ziteng’s Great Demon friend.

The purpose was naturally to inquire about the whereabouts of a Taoist, the strongest among Ziteng’s enemies, whose whereabouts were elusive and not with Cai Ruoyang.

Cai Ruoyang was shrewd and ruthless. After killing Ziteng, discovering her demon soul was rescued, he hired that Taoist with a high price to protect him for two years.

During those two years, Cai Ruoyang studied hard, passed the imperial examination as the top scorer, and cleverly requested a talismanic Jade Pendant from the Emperor.

The Emperor, blessed by the Heavenly Dao, is impervious to all evils, with demons and spirits avoiding him. Receiving a talisman directly stated by the Emperor to protect ministers allows one to be under imperial protection, and no demon or spirit dares to approach.

Cai Ruoyang has been able to dodge Ziteng and her Great Demon friend for many years, all because of the Jade Pendant personally granted by the Emperor.

One could say that even a powerful demon like Li Yu couldn’t harm Cai Ruoyang when protected by the emperor’s granted Jade Pendant.

Of course, to Qi Shuangshuang, Cai Ruoyang’s protective Jade Pendant was merely for show. If Qi Shuangshuang wanted, she could even deal with the Emperor, let alone someone protected by something the emperor granted.

Therefore, Cai Ruoyang was just an easy target waiting to be dealt with, so Qi Shuangshuang was not in a hurry to handle him, but that Taoist was elusive and harder to find.

Ziteng led Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu directly to her friend’s place, deep in the mountains, on a hill lush with vegetation.

When Ziteng led Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu to the foot of the hill where her friend resided, Qi Shuangshuang, and Li Yu sensed a subtle evil aura.

But before Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu could act, the foe openly appeared before them — a Mountain Spirit shrouded entirely in a black cloak.

The Mountain Spirit was a ghost who happened to die within a spiritually endowed mountain, driven by obsessions and grievances, corrupted by evil energy, and absorbed the mountain’s spiritual energy, thus becoming a unique ghostly being.

Only ghosts who were good-hearted could transform into Mountain Spirits, as a mountain with spirit would not allow Evil Ghosts to absorb its spiritual energy.

The Mountain Spirit, having absorbed the mountain’s spiritual energy, could never leave the mountain again, essentially being bound within it, but the mountain would also protect the Mountain Spirit from other demons and ghosts.

Seeing that it was a Mountain Spirit, Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu relaxed, and Ziteng rarely showed some joy, stepping forward: ”Brother Dashan, why are you here?”

The Mountain Spirit, called Brother Dashan by Ziteng, spoke in a hoarse voice: ”The master knew you would return to seek revenge, so he sent me to wait for you here.”

After speaking, the Mountain Spirit bowed to Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu: ”Please, both of you, follow me.” After speaking, he turned and floated into the mountain.

Seeing the Mountain Spirit floating ahead, Ziteng naturally followed and didn’t forget to beckon Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu to hurry along.

Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu fell two steps behind, following Ziteng and the Mountain Spirit. Qi Shuangshuang lowered her voice to Li Yu: ”Do you feel that Ziteng’s attitude towards this Mountain Spirit is somewhat odd?”
