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

Chapter 153 The Xiang River Breaks and the Jade Mountain Collapses (2)

About a day ago.

Wangcai was knocked to the ground by Li Tingyun's homemade elixir, foaming at the mouth and rolling his eyes back. He almost lost his life, but luckily he was tough. After slowly waking up, he took off running!

He left the Taiji Palace and went far away to Yongjie Town to find his cat.

Unable to find him, he slipped into the gates of hell again, and finally found Xuan Yu in the mural space in the underworld.

However, Xuan Yu seemed to have encountered something major and didn't have time to pay attention to him.

The dog followed closely behind the cat, its face scratched raw, and it wouldn't leave no matter how hard you tried to shoo it away.

Xuanmao had no choice but to tell him that he was looking for someone and that he should get out of the way and not get in his way.

Wangcai said, "Then tell me first, who are you looking for?"

Xuan Yu said, "Get out of the way. A good dog doesn't block the way."

Wangcai said, "I'm not a good dog, I'm a scoundrel! I won't move aside until you tell me."

He coaxed, "I have a very keen sense of smell. Tell me who you're looking for, and I'm sure I can help you."

Xuan Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I'm looking for a fox."

Wangcai said, "I knew it! You must be looking for Si Wuyou! Si Wuxie lost her again?!"

Wangcai always followed Xuanyu around, and Si Wuxie was the black cat's designated servant. With more contact, Wangcai naturally became more familiar with Si Wuxie's family affairs.

According to Xuanmao, Si Wuxie, this two-legged beast, has been his "servant" for hundreds of years. The dog counted on his fingers and found that it had been with his master for much longer!

Xuanmao also said that Si Wuxie once had a younger brother who loved to pick up stray cats outside. That's how he was taken in. Si Wuxie not only had to take care of his younger brother and sister, but also had to feed more than a dozen stray cats. He was cursing and swearing every day, and he was going crazy.

However, he is equally adept in the living room and the kitchen, and his cooking skills are exceptional.

When Wangcai thought about the years he spent wandering with his owner, and how he had to cook for himself, he was overcome with sorrow and tears streamed down his face. Indeed, there is no pain without comparison.

Xuanmao then said that later, Si Wuxie's "younger brother" was kidnapped by human traffickers, so Si Wuxie took his sister and a large group of stray cats and left their hometown to settle in Yongjie Town near Fengdu.

Later, Si Wuxie became a messenger of the underworld and was appointed "Si Hun" by the Ghost Emperor, which is equivalent to guarding the gate of the underworld. Yongjie Town is the only place to go from the Gate of Hell and the last stop between Yin and Yang. The title "Si Hun" is a very apt description of Si Wuxie's position.

Wangcai also asked Xuanyu if Si Wuxie's abducted younger brother had been found.

Xuanmao said no. Si Wuxie thought that since he wasn't his biological brother, he might as well lose him and there was no need to look for him.

Si Wuxie has only one younger sister, Si Wuyou. Like him, she is a thousand-year-old fox spirit, but she only has one tail, is not very bright, and is naturally a bit dim-witted.

Si Wuyou has a favorite saying: I'm still a little fox who's just turned a thousand years old!

She tells this to everyone she meets.

Regardless of whether the other party is human, ghost, demon, or immortal, she dares to introduce herself as soon as she comes up.

Even when facing Taoist priests who are exorcising demons, this is no exception.

The Taoist priest shouted at the demon to reveal itself, and she transformed into a fox and jumped out, wagging her tail and saying, "I'm a little fox! I'm over a thousand years old!"

The Taoist priest shouted at the demon to stop and not run away, so she stood still and waited for him to catch up. She insisted on asking him clearly: "Why won't you let me go? Is there something you want to say to me?"

The Taoist priest pulled out a peach wood sword and a Bagua mirror, and she panicked. She crouched down, covered her ears, held her head, and shouted, "Brother—a bad guy is trying to catch me!!!"

Everyone who has seen her thinks she's not a vixen, but clearly a silly roe deer!

Si Wuyou is innocent and naive, with a lively and unruly personality. She is disobedient and especially likes to sneak out to the human world to play.

She goes wherever there are crowds, and she flocks to wherever it's lively.

Si Wuxie was afraid that she would encounter danger and cause trouble everywhere, so he had no choice but to draw a formation to confine her.

Although Si Wuyou is not very bright, he is very clever when it comes to "running away from home". Like a cunning old loach, he is outwitting his brother and going back and forth. They have come up with eight hundred different tricks!

The more Si Wuxie tried to keep an eye on her, the less he could.

His younger sister was even harder to manage than a seven or eight-year-old child who was disliked by everyone and dogs; she would seize any opportunity to slip away.

Si Wuyou yearns for the outside world, even though going out means facing danger, trouble, and the possibility of falling down. But she still wants to leave her brother's protection and go out to experience things on her own.

Perhaps this was simply inevitable.

People have to grow up, and bamboo shoots breaking through the soil are unstoppable.

Human growth inevitably comes at a price, and no one can bear it for her.

In the territory, Wangcai followed Xuanmao to several border markets, but they still couldn't find anyone.

"Stupid dog, didn't you say your nose was pretty sharp? How come it's not useful at all?"

"There are so many demons and monsters here that the fox scent is completely masked. My nose has gone malfunction."

Wangcai added, "Besides, if Si Wuyou is missing, why doesn't her brother come looking for her himself?"

Xuanmao stopped and said to him, "I haven't told Si Wuxie about Si Wuyou's disappearance yet... Si Wuxie is already in a precarious situation, so I'd better find Si Wuyou for him before he finds out."

Wangcai asked, puzzled, "What happened to Si Wuxie? What does 'besieged on all sides' mean? His sister is missing, doesn't he know that yet?!"

Xuanmao said, "You must have already heard that the Yunlan Sect has recognized Si Wuxie and is still considering him as their successor, right?"

Wangcai said, "Of course, I've heard about it before! The reason is that Yun Songhe, that stallion, died too suddenly. He had so many women and so many children, but none of them were his, hahaha—do you know why?"

"Because he played with people's feelings, he was cursed by his former lover, a fox spirit! The fox spirit, with a sincere heart, wished him infertility but also many children and grandchildren!!! This fox spirit, of course, is Si Wuxie's biological mother. I have to say, his mother is really too talented."

"The Yunlan Sect values ​​bloodlines, and the sect leader can only choose from the direct line. They had no choice but to acknowledge Si Wuxie back."

Xuanmao was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why do you know these things better than I do?!"

Wangcai confessed: "Yun Songhe was killed by my master. These words were his own confession before he died. Besides this, he said many other things, but I can't remember them."

Xuanmao's eyes narrowed. "Yun Songhe's death is related to the Taiji Palace? He was killed by your palace master?! Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Wangcai said innocently, "You didn't ask me either."

Xuanmao paced back and forth, saying, "Do you know that since Yun Songhe's death, Yunlan Sect has been in chaos? Among those people, there are many who covet the position of sect leader. They fight each other like dogs, trying to pin Yun Songhe's death on the other side. The internal strife and infighting are endless..."

Although Si Wuxie has recognized his ancestors and taken the position of sect leader, it is conceivable that he is just a cannon fodder who is dragged away to attract fire in times of crisis. He is no different from a "puppet emperor". He must feel very uncomfortable sitting in that position.

However, Si Wuxie was no pushover. If he didn't want to get involved in the mess of the Yunlan Sect at all, he could have avoided being dragged into it entirely with his status and power in the local area.

Ultimately, it was his own insistence on going back that led him to decide.

He is ambitious.

Even though he hated his own father and equally loathed everyone in the Yunlan Sect, it couldn't outweigh his ambition.

He was determined to swallow the hot potato that was the Yunlan Sect.

Xuan Yu couldn't go into the deeper stuff with Wang Cai, nor did he have time to explain it to him. He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, "...Never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told you!"

Wangcai complained, "I don't understand. Anyway, none of them are good people."

The black cat said disdainfully, "Yes, they are not good people, but your master is no different."

Wangcai said, "It's different! My master is a bigger bad guy than them all!"

He proudly declared, "My master is a big bad guy, and I'm a little bad guy, woof woof!"

The black cat swept its tail across his face. "Listen to me, after Si Wuxie returned to Yunlan Sect, he handed over all matters concerning the territory and Yongjie Town to me."

"However, Si Wuyou had a falling out with him and refused to go with him, so she stayed here. Si Wuxie asked me to keep an eye on her... He can't even do that himself, yet he's making things difficult for a cat like me!"

"I'm so angry, meow."

He meowed, indicating his strong dissatisfaction.

But he still diligently carried out the tasks assigned by Si Wuxie.

After all, the two have been friends for hundreds of years.

When Xuan Yu was still a stray cat, without even a mind of his own, Si Wuxie cooked for him, cleaned his litter box, bathed him, and groomed him every day, and even graciously didn't castrate him.

Now that Xuan Yu has cultivated into human form, he naturally feels obligated to repay the kindness shown to the "servant" who used to clean his poop.

Wangcai barked, "The capable should do more! Si Wuxie must trust your abilities to entrust his sister to you. Look at me, my master never lets me do anything because he knows I'd never do a good job, hahaha!"

Xuanmao was speechless, but then thought that this was probably a case of fools having good luck.

Si Wuyou, that stupid fox, is just like that, and so is Wangcai, that stupid dog.

Xuanmao said, "No matter what, I lost Si Wuyou, and I have to find her. If things get serious, I'll have to tell her brother... Let's go, let's go look for her again."

Wangcai said, "How do you know that Si Wuyou is definitely in the underworld? Doesn't she usually love going to the human world? If she sneaks into the human world, the area is too vast. Even if you have the ability to see and touch everything, you can't find a needle in a haystack!"

Xuanmao said, "Before this, Si Wuyou was kept in the barrier of the mural. Without my permission, with her little magic power, she couldn't get out at all... That should be the case, but in fact, she still managed to find a loophole."

"It's not the Ghost Festival yet, and the Gates of Hell haven't opened. Si Wuyou's cultivation isn't high enough to draw a teleportation array, so she can't get out. Therefore, I'm sure she's hiding somewhere in the market, deliberately trying to keep me from finding her."

Wangcai said, "I see, but this search isn't going to work. There are a total of 108 border markets in the area, and Si Wuyou's whereabouts are unpredictable. Even if we run ourselves ragged, we might not be able to find him."

Xuanmao said, "What you said makes sense. Let me think about it... By the way, Si Wuxie has planted spies and informants in the market. We can go find those informants first. With their help, things might be easier."

Wangcai complained, "Why didn't you use the helper sooner? It's exhausting!"

Xuanmao cursed, "Stupid dog! This is the Netherworld, where everyone has their own agenda. You can't easily trust anyone! Si Wuxie has been away from the Netherworld for so many years. Who knows if those people who used to work for him are still useful today?"

As he was talking, he suddenly remembered someone, "However, I think there is one person who is most likely to be trustworthy."

Wangcai asked, "Who is it?"

Xuanmao said, "A small-time vendor selling counterfeit goods."

Wangcai said, "Selling counterfeit goods? Are you sure this person is trustworthy?!"

If everything sold is fake, how could the people selling it possibly be genuine?

The black cat said, "Shut up, just come with me."

He trusted this person because he trusted Si Wuxie's judgment of character.

Si Wuxie's double pupils are very accurate in judging people, and coupled with his many years of experience, his insight is even more discerning.

Si Wuxie described that small vendor as "wise in appearance but foolish in reality, and genuine in appearance but deceitful in reality." He looked slick and oily, but was actually kind-hearted.

For this reason, Si Wuxie treated him differently from others, not only pulling him into the murals to hide every forty-five years, but also wanting to help him be reincarnated as soon as possible.

However, I heard that the vendor gave up his chance to be reincarnated to someone else.

His actions seemed foolish to everyone, but they precisely proved how precious it is that white sand can remain pure even when mixed with mud, without becoming black.

Si Wuxie rarely misjudges people, so Xuan Yu believed that this vendor could help him.

And so, Xuanmao, with Wangcai in tow, arrived at Tiankui City, the premier of the 108 border markets.

They went to the vendor's house but didn't find him. Instead, they ran into Judge Cui Jue.

No one knows what happened, but the vendor's house was completely destroyed, and a mountain of magic stones was piled up there. Cui Jue was standing in front of the mountain counting it, and behind him was another small mountain of magic stones, which he had already counted.

After counting to the 49,810 magic stones, Cui Jue turned his head and said to Xuan Yu, "No need to look anymore, he has been reincarnated." Then he turned his head back and suddenly forgot where he had been counting.

Just then, a mischievous unicorn jumped out of the pile of magic stones he had counted, and then jumped into another, larger pile of magic stones that he hadn't counted yet. It jumped around and around until it caused a cave-in.

The two piles of magic stones were mixed together, each containing the other. Those that had been counted and those that hadn't were indistinguishable, completely indistinguishable. Haha, great, another wasted count. Let's start over.

With a smile on his face, Cui Jue grabbed the little Xie Zhi by its single horn, lifted it up, and gave it a good slap on the bottom.

Seeing this, Xuan Yu thought to himself, "I'd better not disturb him."

Turn around and leave.

Cui Jue suddenly called out to him, but her purpose wasn't with him; instead, she was staring at the dog beside him...

"Sniff sniff sniff, little dog, come here, come quick, uncle has a bone here."
