Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Moreover, Qi Shuangshuang now looks very different from when Xing Yanfei first met her. Her attire is now luxurious and grand, far from the female knight’s image when they first met.

Xing Yanfei once considered recruiting Qi Shuangshuang to work for the Dragon Wei Guard, but with Qi Shuangshuang and Pei Shaosen vanishing without a trace, Xing Yanfei had to abandon this idea.

To find this extraordinary person, Qi Shuangshuang, Xing Yanfei spared no effort, deploying all the spies of the Dragon Wei Guard, yet it ended up yielding no results.

It was at this moment that Xing Yanfei realized Qi Shuangshuang was not an ordinary person or someone humans could interact with. How could someone like her be recruited?

All of Xing Yanfei’s thoughts only lingered in his mind for a moment. Whatever he used to think is now useless; he was already dead. Thinking about his death made Xing Yanfei’s expression even more silent.

Seeing Xing Yanfei’s silent demeanor, unlike someone ready to speak, Qi Shuangshuang sat across from him and broke the ice, saying, ”You and I are quite old acquaintances. How about a little chat?”

Xing Yanfei took a big bite of noodles, his voice hoarse, ”Your status is different; I’m merely a mortal and now only a dead man. How could I be worthy of chatting with you?”

Xing Yanfei’s words had no other meaning; he was simply stating the facts. After speaking, he continued eating, as if he hadn’t eaten in a long time, having already finished several bowls of noodles.

Seeing Xing Yanfei continually eat noodles, Qi Shuangshuang asked Feng Lin to tell Yuan Chongyuan to prepare more good dishes. He couldn’t just eat noodles; it was, after all, his last meal in the Mortal World, so it should be something good.

Yuan Chongyuan acted quickly, soon serving over a dozen sumptuous dishes. Xing Yanfei glanced at the splendid meal before him, muttered a low ”thank you” to Qi Shuangshuang, and ate in silence.

Xing Yanfei ate quickly, and the empty plates on the table were constantly replaced with new dishes, yet Xing Yanfei showed no signs of stopping.

Pei Shaosen, watching him eat like this, couldn’t help but worry. Having been in the inn’s accounting for so long, he knew that while ghosts had no stomach, they could eat endlessly.

But the food at the Yin Yang Inn was different, inducing a fullness in ghosts. Though limited, eating continuously could still cause problems.

Qi Shuangshuang remained seated in front of Xing Yanfei, so Pei Shaosen asked Li Yu beside him, ”Is it okay for him to keep eating like this?”

Li Yu crossed his arms, yawned slightly, and a layer of mist veiled his eyes, having been woken up from a good sleep, still a bit dazed.

Leaning against a pillar, eyes half-open and half-closed, upon hearing Pei Shaosen’s words, he glanced at Xing Yanfei and finally said casually, ”It’s fine. He’s a hungry ghost; he indeed needs to keep eating.

Hungry ghosts only feel at peace when full; otherwise, they constantly feel hungry. And whatever they eat doesn’t give them a sense of fullness, except the food at the Yin Yang Inn, which can.

If he can’t eat to satisfaction now, he’ll remain hungry until he reincarnates. It’s quite unpleasant to be hungry.”

Hearing that Xing Yanfei wouldn’t eat himself sick, Pei Shaosen finally breathed a sigh of relief but then frowned. Xing Yanfei had been the Dragon Wei Guard, the Emperor’s trusted guard; how did he end up a hungry ghost?

He had witnessed Xing Yanfei’s abilities in the Capital City himself when Xing Yanfei avenged him. How could someone embedded in the Emperor’s heart end up as a hungry ghost?

Xing Yanfei continued eating, and after four rounds of dish changes at the table, he finally began to feel full, with the long-lost hunger being soothed, improving Xing Yanfei’s gloomy mood.

Seeing Xing Yanfei slow down, Qi Shuangshuang spoke again, ”Every soul entering the Yin Yang Inn has an obsession hard to dispel.

The inn’s purpose is to help souls let go of their obsessions, enabling them to enter the Yellow Springs and head to their next life without lingering attachments. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, please speak up.”

Xing Yanfei tightened his grip on the chopsticks in his hand, hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth, saying, ”I’m worried about my master. He’s a very kind person, a true gentleman.

He is currently in great danger, and I’m truly worried about him. If possible, I hope you can help my master out of his predicament; this is my only obsession.”

”Alright, may I ask, who is your master, and how did you end up dying?” Qi Shuangshuang gently shook the round fan in her hand, asking casually.

Xing Yanfei lowered his head, ate a few more bites, then sighed, put down his chopsticks, and began narrating his story.

Xing Yanfei was the Emperor’s trusted Dragon Wei Guard, initially only loyal to the Emperor. But as the Emperor’s sons grew, the Emperor developed preferences.

The Emperor had five sons, the most favored being the Third Prince. He was raised under distinguished teachers, learned the path of a gentleman, was upright, and had no ambition, simply wanting to be a carefree prince.

Compared to his other sons, who constantly eyed the throne, this unambitious third son caught the Emperor’s eye.

The more the Third Prince shunned fame and fortune, the more the Emperor favored him, with constant rewards and always taking him along on outings.

The Third Prince himself remained unaffected by favor and disgrace, but unfortunately, his favor drew envy, leading his brothers to target him, even employing assassins, almost killing him.

Upon learning of the plot, the Emperor was furious and ordered the Dragon Wei Guard to conduct a thorough investigation, with Xing Yanfei in charge. He delivered, uncovering the plot.

The perpetrators were the Second Prince, with the Fourth Prince as accomplice. Upon learning the result, the Emperor severely punished them both.

To ensure the safety of his favorite son, the Emperor assigned Xing Yanfei and some Dragon Wei Guards to protect the Third Prince’s safety.

Initially, beside the Third Prince, Xing Yanfei felt nothing, but the Third Prince was charismatic, treating everyone with respect and mercy, and avoiding punishing subordinates, being very generous.

Gradually, Xing Yanfei truly considered the Third Prince his master, wholeheartedly devoted to him, thwarting plots by the other princes.

Unfortunately, Xing Yanfei was only one man, and due to the Emperor’s favor, the Third Prince had many enemies, not only his brothers but also the ministers betting on them.

Xing Yanfei focused on protecting the Third Prince, unaware that as his defenses tightened, unable to touch the Third Prince, they turned their sights on Xing Yanfei!
