Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

”You’re not Cai Ruoyang. Where did Cai Ruoyang go? Who exactly are you?” Ziteng frowned, staring at the man before her whose face was familiar but whose aura was completely different, and demanded angrily.

The man with the same appearance as Cai Ruoyang looked nervously at the people in front of him and stammered a little as he said, ”Cai Ruoyang and I are twin brothers. He’s my elder brother, but he died a long time ago. What did you come looking for him for?”

”Died a long time ago? When did he die? Why are you parading around under his name?” The moment Ziteng heard that Cai Ruoyang was already dead, her first reaction was utter disbelief.

”We’re twin brothers, we’ve always been close. My brother died three years ago. The reason I go by this name is to commemorate him.” The man answered nervously.

Li Yu gave a mocking snort from the side. ”That excuse is full of holes. I’ve never heard of someone ’commemorating’ a brother by changing his own name to the brother’s after he dies.

Your brother died three years ago, but you’ve been using the name Cai Ruoyang for more than three years. I say you’re definitely hiding something shady—better spit it out now.”

Qi Shuangshuang kept her brows knitted the whole time, feeling that something was off about this person in front of them. The man looked perfectly normal, but Qi Shuangshuang just felt that something wasn’t right.

The man across from them was still crying injustice. ”Cai Ruoyang and I really are blood brothers. If you refuse to believe me, there’s nothing I can do.”

As he spoke, his eyes were discreetly sweeping the surroundings, clearly very shifty.

Just then, Da Shan, who had remained silent ever since entering, suddenly spoke. ”You’re not Cai Ruoyang’s brother. Cai Ruoyang has no brother. You are a Monster!”

Da Shan’s words shocked everyone. The man opposite them let out a cold laugh. ”You suddenly break into my home like this, then slander me as a Monster—what is the meaning of this?”

Qi Shuangshuang had already felt that there was something off about this Da Shan. Thinking back on how, all along the way, his attitude toward her and Li Yu, compared to Ziteng, had been completely different, a thought rose in Qi Shuangshuang’s heart. It was hard to believe, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was true.

Because of this thought, Qi Shuangshuang did not dismiss Da Shan’s words. Although there was no trace of demonic aura on this man, there were countless methods in this world to conceal it. It wasn’t impossible for someone to slip past her senses.

This time Qi Shuangshuang did not rely on sensing. Sensing was the primary method to distinguish between human and demon, but the Revealing Spell was more reliable. So Qi Shuangshuang directly drew a Revealing Spell and struck it onto the man’s body.

The moment the Revealing Spell landed, thick black smoke burst from the man’s body. When the smoke dispersed, the person before them had become a gleaming skeleton of white bone, and on the floor lay a complete human skin.

Qi Shuangshuang let out a cold chuckle. ”So you’re a Bone Demon that’s taken shape. No wonder you could masquerade as a human without being discovered.”

The so‑called Bone Demon is a Monster formed when a human corpse, reduced to bare bones, by some twist of fate transforms into a demon.

Because it’s a Monster born from human bones, unlike other Monsters, it can perfectly conceal its demonic aura, to the point that even many Taoists and Mages with deep cultivation cannot detect it.

When the Bone Demon realized its true form had been exposed, it immediately tried to flee. It was incredibly fast—its figure blurred into an afterimage rushing straight for the door.

But while the Bone Demon was fast, Li Yu at the side was even faster. Just as the Bone Demon reached the doorway, Li Yu, his face icy cold, kicked it back in with one sharp blow.

Li Yu’s kick was merciless and full of force. The Bone Demon was kicked apart on the spot, bones scattering across the floor.

But the Bone Demon’s Life Force was extremely tenacious; even torn into a pile of little bones, it did not die.

Li Yu stepped forward a few paces and planted his foot on the Bone Demon’s skull, his voice chilling. ”Your human skin’s already been stripped off. You might as well tell the truth. What is really going on?”

The Bone Demon clearly wasn’t one for backbone. It couldn’t win in a fight, couldn’t escape, and could only helplessly spill the truth of what had happened back then.

As it turned out, when Cai Ruoyang came down the mountain that year, before he could even make it home, he was killed by this Bone Demon.

The Bone Demon killed Cai Ruoyang purely because it had taken a fancy to Cai Ruoyang’s identity.

The Bone Demon possessed a special ability: it could peel off a human’s skin, then put that skin on itself as if getting dressed.

In this way the Bone Demon could become that person and inherit their identity to go on living.

The Bone Demon knew Cai Ruoyang was involved with Ziteng, this Monster. In fact, that was precisely why it chose Cai Ruoyang’s identity.

First of all, because Cai Ruoyang was frail in body, he had lived for many years in a separate residence to recuperate, rarely seeing his parents. They had never been particularly close.

Later, Cai Ruoyang fell in love with a demon and, for her sake, did many things that defied his parents, to the point of nearly severing ties with them. If Cai Ruoyang’s temperament changed drastically because of this, no one would find it suspicious.

So the Bone Demon killed Cai Ruoyang, stripped off his skin and draped it over itself, stealing Cai Ruoyang’s life.

Originally, after taking over Cai Ruoyang’s body, the Bone Demon planned to kill Ziteng at once. After all, for the Bone Demon’s future, Ziteng was a problem.

Unexpectedly, before the Bone Demon could free its hands to deal with Ziteng, Master Dongxu came knocking, seducing it into killing Ziteng to obtain the ability to extend its lifespan.

The Bone Demon had already intended to get rid of Ziteng. Now that it had a partner, naturally it didn’t refuse. Thus the Bone Demon and Master Dongxu joined forces to kill Ziteng.

The Bone Demon had only just killed Cai Ruoyang; Cai Ruoyang’s aura still lingered on his own skin. After the Bone Demon put on Cai Ruoyang’s human skin, Cai Ruoyang’s aura concealed it, and Ziteng never realized that the one who joined Master Dongxu to kill her was not Cai Ruoyang.

After killing Ziteng, Master Dongxu obtained the extension of the Yang lifespan he wanted, and the Bone Demon obtained a human identity.

Afterwards, the Bone Demon found an opportunity to kill Cai Ruoyang’s parents, who might have discovered its true identity, then went up to the Capital City to sit for the imperial examinations, using demonic power to bewitch the examiners and successfully becoming the top‑ranked scholar.

Because of the Bone Demon’s peculiar nature, as long as it didn’t give rise to evil thoughts, the Emperor’s Purple Qi could not harm it and would even protect it. Thus the Bone Demon was able to thrive in the Capital City.

After listening to the Bone Demon’s account, Ziteng’s eyes filled with a hatred that was almost bleeding. So the lover she had resented for so long had never betrayed her—he had already been killed early on by this Monster!

”You bastard! I’ll kill you and make you pay with your life for my Ruolang!” Ziteng could no longer hold back. She roared and pounced, intent on tearing the Bone Demon to pieces.

Qi Shuangshuang, however, turned to look at Da Shan beside her. ”Are you still sure you want to keep hiding your identity?”
