Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

This Taotie cub is named Bai Yao, hmm, it’s a female. Taotie is a Divine Beast, so it already possesses spiritual sense while still inside the egg, allowing it to perceive the outside world.

And the name of Taotie is decided before they are born, so Bai Yao knows what her name is.

Having spiritual sense while in the egg naturally leads to different personalities, and Bai Yao is a particularly mischievous and playful egg.

Originally, Bai Yao was out visiting friends with her father, but midway, she got intrigued by two demon beasts fighting and fell from her father’s embrace, landing directly from the Heavenly Realm to the Mortal World.

Fortunately, Bai Yao was already at the point of hatching, so despite falling into the Mortal World, she wasn’t harmed and successfully broke out of her shell.

However, Bai Yao didn’t know how to return to the Heavenly Realm, so she wandered in the human world, thinking maybe she could encounter an Earth Immortal or a descending Immortal who could take her to the Heavenly Realm to find her father.

But instead of meeting an Immortal, she encountered a Fierce Beast named Taotie that was rampaging through the human world and looked exactly like their Taotie clan.

As an Ancient Divine Beast, Taotie had been guarding the human world since ancient times, with a natural inclination to uphold righteousness and ward off evil in their bloodline, prompting Bai Yao to instinctively try and stop Taotie from wreaking havoc in the human world.

However, Bai Yao was also self-aware, knowing she was just a cub. If she rashly confronted the beast, she might not even be enough for one bite from it.

On one hand, the sense of responsibility in her bloodline compelled Bai Yao to keep following Taotie, while on the other hand, fear prevented her from revealing herself and getting noticed by the beast.

So, during this period of following, Bai Yao found herself genuinely conflicted, not knowing what to do.

Eventually, while continuing to follow, she encountered Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu, who had come to deal with Taotie. Watching them kill the monster daring to use the appearance of their Taotie clan, Bai Yao was absolutely thrilled.

Initially, Bai Yao contemplated whether to ask the obviously formidable Qi Shuangshuang for help in sending her back to the Heavenly Realm to find her father.

However, before she could act, she caught a whiff of an incredibly enticing aroma, so deliciously fragrant that it made her mouth water uncontrollably.

As Taotie prefers consuming all sorts of Yin and evil energies and various fierce spirits, the Yin Sha Qi gathered by Qi Shuangshuang was an ultimate delicacy for Bai Yao.

Previously, the Yin Sha Qi was dispersed, making it tempting but bearable for Bai Yao.

Yet once Qi Shuangshuang gathered that Yin Sha Qi, the fragrance became overwhelmingly strong, and Bai Yao couldn’t resist the temptation any longer.

Then, unable to contain herself, Bai Yao jumped out and devoured the Yin Sha Qi that Qi Shuangshuang had just gathered, enjoying the most sumptuous meal since hatching.

Once Bai Yao was identified as a Taotie, Qi Shuangshuang felt relieved and placed the fluffy Bai Yao in her palm, saying, ”You want to find your father, that’s simple.

As a Gatekeeper of Yin Yang Inn, I cannot leave for the Heavenly Realm on my own, but I can take you to the Underworld and ask the Netherworld King to send you back to the Heavenly Realm to look for your father.”

Bai Yao’s eyes twinkled, and she wrapped her body around Qi Shuangshuang’s wrist: ”I don’t want to return to the Heavenly Realm right now. I like you, I want to follow you.”

Bai Yao thought it through, with Qi Shuangshuang being so formidable, if she stayed with her, she’d surely have plenty of delicious treats like today.

Qi Shuangshuang saw through Bai Yao’s little thoughts at a glance, but she didn’t expose her, allowing Bai Yao to stick with her for the time being, knowing she wouldn’t keep the Divine Beast cub.

Moreover, losing a child would drive her father crazy with worry, and keeping the child wouldn’t be ethical, so Qi Shuangshuang decided to return to Yin Yang Inn and hand Bai Yao to the Netherworld King at the Underworld.

...................

When Qi Shuangshuang, Li Yu, and a Taotie cub, Bai Yao, returned to Yin Yang Inn, they found that the Wood Demon had transformed again.

The entire Yin Yang Inn was draped in red and bright colors, with several wooden hands extending from the center of the inn, holding long colorful ribbons, waving at Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu.

Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu twitched the corners of their mouths in unison. The Yin Yang Inn currently looked like a madam in a brothel, heavily painted and waving handkerchiefs to attract customers, quite an eyesore.

Not far away, Pei Shaosen and Feng Lin sat in a pavilion amidst a sea of flowers outside the inn, with their backs to the Yin Yang Inn, bearing expressions of disbelief.

Upon seeing Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu return, Pei Shaosen and Feng Lin immediately stood up and walked briskly to greet them. Pei Shaosen, keeping his composure, greeted the shopkeeper and then stood aside.

However, Feng Lin, directly complained to Qi Shuangshuang: ”Shopkeeper, you must restore the Wood Demon to normal. If this continues, life will be unbearable! My eyes are going blind!”

Qi Shuangshuang glanced at the eye-scorching Yin Yang Inn, coughed, turned aside to avoid looking at the brothel-like inn, and asked Feng Lin in a low voice: ”What happened to the Wood Demon? What triggered it?”

Feng Lin sighed: ”I’ll tell you just one name, Black Impermanence Lord Luo Yao is on vacation recently and decided to stay at our Yin Yang Inn for a couple of days, and now the Wood Demon manager is like this.”

Qi Shuangshuang oh-ed in understanding, realizing that the Wood Demon was overwhelmed with excitement because Black Impermanence is the one who enlightened the Wood Demon.

A so-called enlightener is a person or demon who awakens a demon’s Spiritual Wisdom, guiding them onto the path of practice.

Wu Chang is an official position, with numerous Wu Chang in the Underworld, yet only two bear the title of Black and White Impermanence: Black Impermanence Luo Yao and White Impermanence Luo Feng.

Luo Yao and Luo Feng are transformations of Ancient Great Demons, possessing boundless Mana, and for them, enlightening an oblivious, unawakened spirit into a demon is far from difficult.

The Wood Demon was casually enlightened into a demon by Black Impermanence Luo Yao, hence the Wood Demon’s immense admiration for Luo Yao, even insisting on a demon-like ”Yao” in its name.

Although Luo Yao is an immensely powerful Ancient Great Demon, his sense of aesthetics is exceedingly peculiar, favoring a brothel madam style for house decor.

The Wood Demon’s own aesthetic is actually quite normal, as seen from its usual dark, luxurious style for Yin Yang Inn, showing not only normal but quite refined taste.

Yet the Wood Demon is a die-hard fan of Black Impermanence Luo Yao, having no bottom line when it comes to Luo Yao, doing anything as long as Luo Yao likes it.

Thanks to the sea of Manjushaka flowers outside Yin Yang Inn, the scenery here is actually breathtaking, a rare beauty in both the human world and Underworld, attracting Underworld staff for vacation.

Every time Luo Yao takes a vacation, he also visits Yin Yang Inn for a short stay, and during each of Luo Yao’s visits, Qi Shuangshuang and others must endure several days of the Wood Demon’s highly eye-scorching style.
