Chapter 229: Dog Food
Yun Songxuan called to his daughter, "Yue'er, come here. I want to ask you some questions about your mother."
"I, I..." Yuan Che stammered, his face flushed red, "I'm not... I'm not Yue'er... Don't call me that..."
Yun Songxuan frowned. What was he saying? Did he spend too little time with his daughter, and she simply no longer recognized him as her father?!
When no one was watching, Mei Shiyu gently rubbed her temples. This was yet another messy and inexplicable matter.
So much can happen in a single day.
He was unsettled, and his head ached.
I feel weak in my shoulders and neck, and my head feels heavy; I feel very uncomfortable.
He cultivates the path of ruthlessness and should not be prone to anger or delusion. Once his emotions rise and fall drastically, he will suffer more than others. He sighed bitterly and lowered his hand.
The warm back of the person beside him brushed against his fingers, and without saying a word, took his whole hand in theirs and slowly channeled spiritual energy into him to ease the fatigue in his limbs and body.
Mei Shiyu tried to pull her hand away.
However, Li Tingyun intertwined her fingers with his.
The posture that is hardest to break free from.
Others couldn't see them holding hands under the table, but Wangcai, squatting between them, could see it clearly with his eyes wide open.
A feeling of fullness arises spontaneously.
Xue Shi explained to Yun Songxuan, "Your daughter's body contains someone else's soul."
"This young man is named Yuan Che. He once accidentally fell into my Ten Kings Palace and met Hua Yingyue."
"In my temple there is a Well of Reincarnation, a place where the souls of the dead can be reborn. If a man is thrown into the well, he will be reborn as a woman, and a woman will be reborn as a man."
"Hua Yingyue was lively by nature. Seeing that Yuan Che was so serious, she decided to tease him. The two of them played around in front of the Reincarnation Well and almost fell in."
"Their souls, influenced by the Well of Reincarnation, swapped bodies and entered each other's bodies."
"After the two of them swapped souls, they were unconscious for a while. Hua Yingyue woke up first and realized that she had caused a great disaster, so she went out alone to look for me everywhere."
"Soon after, Yuan Che also woke up. He searched the Ten Kings Palace but could not find her. He mistakenly thought she was in danger and forced his way out."
"Logically speaking, he didn't know the secrets of my palace and couldn't have escaped by just barging in, but he was very lucky and managed to get out."
"When I returned, he was nowhere to be found, so I sent my underworld messengers, Black and White Impermanence, to bring him back."
"Unexpectedly, he scattered the ghostly soldiers, caused chaos at the market, escaped the Gates of Hell, and hid in Eternal Calamity Town..."
"You all know what happened next."
The cause and effect are not complicated, and there was no malice involved; it was just a misunderstanding.
Yuan Che was so embarrassed that he dug his toes into the ground. He neither recognized Hua Yingyue's youthful appearance nor understood the situation. He was like a headless fly, rushing around aimlessly. He had wasted two lifetimes. It was quite embarrassing.
Mei Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief. "So that's how it is."
His two previous conflicts with the Black and White Impermanence were truly unacceptable, especially the second one, where his disciple Yuanbao... no, it was Li Tingyun, almost shattered Fan Wujiu's spirit core... The Black and White Impermanence share a single spirit core, so this time they are likely in grave danger.
Yun Songxuan asked anxiously, "Where is Yue'er? Where is Yue'er now?"
Xue Shi said, "I'll rest upstairs. If you're worried, go and check on me yourself."
Yun Songxuan then asked, "Is there any way to get them back to their original bodies as soon as possible? Men and women shouldn't touch each other... this is outrageous!"
Xue Shi said, "There's no need to worry," and that there are solutions, and it's not a difficult matter.
Yun Songxuan was relieved and got up to leave his seat. Yuan Che wanted to go with him, so he passed by Li Tingyun from behind. Mei Shiyu immediately tried to pull her hand away, but Li Tingyun let go in time and did not "make things difficult" for him.
Behind Yuan Che followed a burly man, who was naturally his godfather, Wang Wu, a minor character who should have died long ago in the original story.
As this person passed by Li Tingyun, he clenched his teeth, tried his best to control himself, and made sure his hands didn't tremble and his legs didn't go weak, striving to minimize his presence.
“Brother Wang,” Mei Shiyu called out to him, “I am not able to go there for the time being. Please take good care of Che’er. After everything here is over and their souls have returned to their places, I will send you back to Dao Xuan Sect.”
"No trouble at all, it's nothing..." Wang Wu's voice trembled slightly.
Mei Shiyu looked at Li Tingyun and said softly, "Can the Yin-Yang Curse be lifted for him now?"
In Eternal Calamity Town, the noodle shop owner used the Star-Picking Step to secretly place curse marks on everyone. Mei Shiyu saw through it at a glance and did not fall into the trap, but the others suffered an undeserved disaster.
Without saying a word, Li Tingyun released a burst of energy, and Wang Wu immediately felt refreshed and his Qi Sea was full. Without a doubt, his spiritual power had returned!
"Thank you so much..." He thanked Mei Shiyu, but didn't dare to look at Li Tingyun.
The Yunlan Sect members were all dumbfounded: What?! So breaking the curse is that simple, just a matter of a few words? Mei Shiyu just said it, and Li Tingyun did it?!
A complex mix of emotions welled up inside him: What about their previous trip to Xuanwu City to pick snow lotus seeds, which resulted in heavy losses? Did it mean they were physically strong and could handle any kind of ordeal?!
Mei Shiyu hadn't expected the curse to be broken so quickly, in the blink of an eye, that Yin-Yang curse he'd been afflicted with in his past life...
Li Tingyun had explained to him that she had been confused when she cast the curse on him, and that she had tried to undo the curse many times, but only temporarily, and that it would relapse at any time.
Mei Shiyu asked what it meant to be "unconsciously" cursed on him. Li Tingyun hesitated and refused to answer. Mei Shiyu was skeptical of his words, but gradually he became convinced that Li Tingyun really had no way to completely remove the curse mark from him.
Having spent so much time together in their past lives, it's easy to tell whether Li Tingyun's explanation is true or false. Why would he lie about this? But Mei Shiyu remains highly skeptical of his words "muddled and confused."
Do you know who the owner of that noodle shop in town is?
"……do not know."
"He knows the Star-Picking Step and the Yin-Yang Incantation. Are there many people like him in Four Symbols City? Is your technique something that everyone can learn?"
“…Okay, it’s Wangcai.”
Li Tingyun couldn't last more than two rounds before betraying his teammates.
Mei Shiyu helplessly placed her hand on the dog's head and patted it several times. She had expected this answer. The dog kept its head down. Oh dear, he just wanted to swindle spirit stones to make a little money. It would be stupid not to make money when you can.
Mei Shiyu continued, "And those disciples of the Yunlan Sect, you..."
"Who?" Li Tingyun asked directly to everyone present, "Who has been cursed?"
All of you come here, I'm going to become a Buddha today!
But no one raised their hand.
Yun Songhe said awkwardly, "Those who were cursed didn't come... Those who came were all from other families or collateral branches..."
Li Tingyun crossed his arms and said, "Then I won't worry about it."
They gave me a chance but I didn't use it.
Who cares whether you're surnamed Yun or not, or whether you're related by blood or not?
Upon hearing his words, Yun Songhe and Yun Songxuan naturally looked troubled, but their juniors were all suppressing their laughter, gloating, and unable to resist clapping and cheering.
Mei Shiyu felt that Li Tingyun seemed to have become more agreeable. Even if he went a step further and asked for a promise to "remove the curse for those disciples who didn't come in the future," Li Tingyun would probably agree.
He looked at Li Tingyun, and Li Tingyun was also looking at him, as if he knew what he was thinking. He smiled and said, "Alright, let them come to me themselves..." As he spoke, he looked at the Yunlan Sect members, "Whoever is cursed, comes to me. You don't want me to come knocking on your door, do you?"
"Thank you so much!" Yun Songhe was extremely grateful. Was this really the Taiji Hall Master who was rumored to be a ruthless and cruel killer? He was so reasonable and kind!
Wangcai raised its head: Master, you're truly compassionate! Are we giving up being the world's number one villain? Should I continue following you and be the world's second-worst villain?
Xia Changfeng and Xue Rendong also looked at Li Tingyun with surprise.
But their temple master only had eyes for the dignified and upright Immortal Mei.
Mei Shiyu felt her ears burning under Li Tingyun's intense gaze. She wanted to rebuke him, but decided against it.
Their attitude toward him softened somewhat.
Li Tingyun: Finally, finally.
At this moment, Wang Wu scratched the back of his head, bent down, and asked Mei Shiyu in a low voice, "Immortal Venerable, where is that...that little disciple of yours?"
Fuck!
Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about?!
All those surnamed Wang are bastards!
“When you said you were going to send us away, I asked you about it, and you said…” Wang Wu pointed to Wangcai, who was squatting between Mei Shiyu and Li Tingyun.
"You're saying this is a dog?! Isn't that ridiculous? How did your disciple suddenly turn into a dog? Immortal Venerable, I thought you were sleepwalking???"
Those directly involved are often blinded by their own opinions, while bystanders see things clearly.
After all, this was too outrageous. When Li Tingyun lied and said, "I am the dog next to the Taiji Hall Master," he would have been mistaken for a lunatic if the person opposite him was not Mei Shiyu.
What nonsense!
Mei Shiyu felt extremely ashamed.
How could he explain why he was so stupid to believe so easily that Yuanbao was a dog—blame it on that misunderstanding between him and Wangcai in that dilapidated temple in his past life.
He couldn't help but pat the dog's head a few more times, thinking to himself: It's all your fault for impersonating Yuanbao and making me look bad.
Li Tingyun suddenly felt like laughing.
Putting everything else aside, the whole thing itself is actually quite funny.
But he kept a tense expression on his face, not daring to show the slightest emotion.
Mei Shiyu's face was as cold as frost as he said to Wang Wu, "I don't remember having any apprentice by my side."
"Huh?" Wang Wu found this very strange. "You don't remember?"
"That grumpy kid with a huge appetite, how could you not remember him?"
“We’ve been following him all the way, and you’ve been protecting him! You said that even if he had mixed spiritual roots, you would still take him as your disciple.”
Li Tingyun remained outwardly calm, but a little voice inside her was nodding frantically in agreement.
Mei Shiyu coldly replied, "He's grown up, he's got his wings, he doesn't need my protection anymore, he left on his own a long time ago."
"Huh?" Wang Wu felt even more confused.
First they said he turned into a dog overnight, now they're saying he grew up overnight... This is just...
"Immortal Venerable, are you still sleepwalking?"
"Anyway, don't ask anymore... Go quickly, Yuan Che is still waiting for you."
Mei Shiyu was at his wit's end. He felt that if he continued talking, people would think he was crazy.
Li Tingyun glanced at him and said to Wang Wu, "Get lost."
Concise and concise.
Wang Wuli quickly left.
After a group of people left, some empty seats were made, making it quieter.
Li Tingyun tugged at Mei Shiyu's sleeve and shook it gently, as if to say: "We're both alone now, can you give me your hand?"
He's childish, annoying, and delusional!
Mei Shiyu stood up, brushed off his sleeves, and walked to his original seat in Yunsongxuan, where he sat down.
Li Tingyun: "..." Immortal Mei, you're childish too.
It's like assigning seats in kindergarten; if someone doesn't like you, they'll sit far away and ignore you.
Xue Shi coughed forcefully, "Gentlemen, please listen to me, there's something else..."
Mei Shiyu frowned slightly.
He smelled a strange odor.
A sidelong glance revealed that Yun Songhe was applying powder to his face, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.
He noticed Mei Shiyu's strange gaze, so he put away the exquisite face powder box and unconsciously leaned closer. When dealing with beautiful women, whether men or women, he would subconsciously move a little closer and chat with them for a bit.
But this time, before he could even open his mouth, he was thrown away by a tremendous force.
His body smashed through the wall and landed heavily on the main street of the market, without making a sound of any ghostly activity.
I don't know if he's dead or not.
When everyone came to their senses, they realized that it was Li Tingyun who had overturned the table, causing him to take off.
Yun Songhe: I dare say this is the infamous, ruthless, and cruel Lord of the Taiji Hall who is rumored to be a mass murderer!
Si Wuxie: Ah, that felt great.
Xue Shi: My table, my wall???
Mei Shiyu: Although... the air is indeed much fresher...
The disciples of Yunlan Sect quickly ran out and surrounded their sect leader.
Once they left, there were only a few people left.
Li Tingyun picked up a chair, walked straight to Mei Shiyu's side, put it down in the empty space Yun Songhe had left, and sat down calmly as if nothing had happened. He said to Xue Shi, "Continue."
"Si Wuxie," Xue Shi said without saying anything more, directly calling out his name, "What tricks did you use your position as a ghost messenger to tamper with the Book of Merits?"
