I, the transmigrated villain, please wait, gentle master.

Chapter 136 Don’t make noise, I’m thinking

"What? What did you say? Who did I bite on the neck?"

The zombie was completely bewildered and said innocently, "I've never even bitten my wife's neck, how could I have bitten that immortal's neck?"

"He's a man, and a Taoist practitioner at that. Why would I bite his neck? Does he smell good? Does he smell better than my wife?"

"Look at what you're saying! How presumptuous of you!"

Li Tingyun, at this moment, was speechless.

I was speechless.

In fact, upon closer reflection, one realizes that the previous guess was wrong: Mao Jiang's combat strength is not very high. At least compared to a high-level swordsman like Mei Shiyu, he is not worth mentioning at all, and there is no chance for him to bite him.

However, there is one point in Mao Jiang's words that he disagrees with.

He's a man, so what? He cultivates Taoism, so what?

Doesn't it smell good?

"You tasteless bastard."

It smells so good.

Li Tingyun looked at Mao Jiang with disdain.

He let go and threw him on the ground like trash.

"Tell me, why did you lead me here?"

Mao Jiang was silent for a moment, then said, "If I said that I didn't intentionally lead you here at all, and that you came with me by chance, would you believe me?"

"..."

Li Tingyun angrily retorted, "Then what the hell were you doing sneaking around in the haystack? Were you here to take a dump?!"

Mao Jiang said, "I didn't come here on purpose. I don't know the way, so I'll just go wherever I feel like! That immortal drew an array to send me out of the gates of hell, but I almost crashed to my death at the city gate..."

"The gates of hell were tightly shut, and I couldn't get out, so I had no choice but to return to the market the way I came. But I found the market empty of ghosts. Unfortunately, I encountered another group of cultivators. They grabbed me as soon as they saw me, but luckily I ran fast."

"And so, I escaped the market. I didn't know the way, and along the way, I encountered several groups of ghost soldiers who wanted to pass me. I found it really strange; why did the underworld suddenly become so 'heavily guarded'?"

It has a feeling of two armies facing off, with dark clouds looming over the city.

If he hadn't been told, he would have thought he was back on the battlefield.

Li Tingyun gleaned a bombshell from his words—the area was completely sealed off, and the teleportation array had malfunctioned.

Damn, where did he send Wangcai?

Li Tingyun rotated his right wrist, where there should have been a Binding Immortal Lock, but when Mei Shiyu decided to send Yuan Che and his group back to Dao Xuan Sect, he simply removed the binding on the "Yuanbao".

Li Tingyun had previously heard Mei Shiyu tell him, through the Immortal Binding Lock, that "Dao Xuan Sect is a safe place" and "Don't wander around after you get there," thus deducing that Wangcai was likely teleported back by him.

In order to prevent Wangcai, that stupid dog, from facing the pressure from the immortal sect alone, and to prevent him from being bullied by Wang Wu and Yuan Che, Li Tingyun decisively captured Wangcai. At the very moment Mei Shiyu cast his spell, it was done without anyone noticing, a race against time between life and death.

Later, Li Tingyun sent Wangcai back to Taiji Hall because he felt that the area was too dangerous for this silly dog.

Although Wangcai cultivates demonic arts and has a fire elemental root, his fire control technique is passable. His talent and cultivation are far superior to many spirit pets, but Li Tingyun still thinks he is too useless and utterly worthless.

Such a useless thing, yet it happens to be his dog.

His dog is not for anyone to bully.

Don't be fooled by Li Tingyun's habit of slapping dogs' heads all the time. If anyone dares to treat his dog like that, he'll twist their head off and use it as a treat for Wangcai!

Right now, Li Tingyun has learned from Mao Jiang that they can't get out of the Gates of Hell, and even using the teleportation array won't work. This means that Wangcai was not sent away by him and must still be in the underworld.

Correspondingly, Yuan Che and Wang Wu were not sent back to Dao Xuan Sect; they also remained in the underworld.

However, just as Mao Jiang said, the entire area suddenly seemed to be under heavy guard. Ghost soldiers were passing through, and hundreds of ghosts were walking at night. All of this was no coincidence. If Wangcai ran around, he would most likely encounter a similar scene.

However, Li Tingyun wasn't too worried that Wangcai wouldn't be able to handle it, because this dog had no other skills, but it was excellent at escaping and knew how to "play the victim".

As for Yuan Che...

The protagonist's life is tied to the system's mission, so Li Tingyun has to consider his situation as well.

Wang Laoliu said that Yuan Che's current life value is stable at 10%. Although he looks like he's on the verge of death and is in some danger, he has the protagonist's halo and always gets lucky. With Wang Wu by his side, he shouldn't have any major problems.

[Host, stop dawdling here and listen to me, go do the main quest!]

Something's not right here. We'd better find the protagonist's body as soon as possible, lest things get complicated.

Li Tingyun: "Don't make a sound, I'm thinking."

Wang Laoliu: [...]

Li Tingyun glanced casually at Mao Jiang and noticed that he was adjusting his sleeves, forcefully tucking the part of his inner sleeve that kept falling out back in.

Li Tingyun's expression changed. He grabbed the man's wrist and pulled him close. After confirming that the man was wearing a snow-white silk robe, he asked, "Was this robe given to you by the immortal you met at the Rebirth Inn? Tell me, what did he say to you at the time?"

That day, Li Tingyun, who was still a teenager, had his eyes covered by Mei Shiyu and was forced to shut down and go to sleep. After that, Li Tingyun had no idea what exactly happened between Mei Shiyu and the zombie.

All he knew was that after he woke up, his body returned to normal, and his cultivation level was back to normal. Then, he saw the bite marks on Mei Shiyu's neck.

Faced with Li Tingyun's questioning, Mao Jiang remembered that Mei Shiyu had told him not to tell anyone, so he simply shook his head.

He tried to cover it up by saying, "I don't know the person you're talking about. He didn't give me the clothes, and he didn't tell me anything."

His words were contradictory and confusing.

Li Tingyun's gaze suddenly sharpened. "Do you think your head is superfluous?"

Mao Jiang felt a chill, but after thinking it over, he said, "I can live without a head, so I'm a bit redundant... Go ahead and take it, I'll just try to grow a new one."

Li Tingyun said "Oh," and then suddenly realized, "Then your wife's head must be just like yours, it can grow back even if you take it off. After all, you can't sleep in the same bed with two different kinds of people."

"You dare to make a move on my wife?!"

The zombies suddenly sprang into action.

The next second, they were ruthlessly suppressed.

Li Tingyun moved his fingers, and a large pit suddenly appeared under the zombie's feet, causing him to fall into it.

Into the ground is safe.

Only the head was left outside.

It looks just like a carrot planted in the soil.

Li Tingyun stopped arguing with him and sent a wisp of divine consciousness into his brain, searching for memories of Mei Shiyu.

Memory recall.

In just a short while, Li Tingyun knew all the conversations that happened between Mei Shiyu and the zombie after he fell asleep at the inn that day.

[Host, what you're doing is a bit unfair.]

[The method of memory regression is too brain-destroying. Luckily, he's a zombie, resilient and durable. Anyone else would have suffered a mental breakdown.]

[No, I think he's starting to break down...]

The zombie's head was tilted back, its eyes looking up and down, its gaze full of wisdom. Its tongue slid out from the corner of its lips, like a hanged ghost, unable to be taken back in.

He felt as if his brain had been ripped out, rolled out with a rolling pin, pinched into pieces, mixed with water, kneaded back into a ball, and then stuffed back into his skull.

This tangy and refreshing flavor is the authentic way.
