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

Chapter 27 Immortal Venerable, that little tagalong by your side is no good!

Li Tingyun: "Tell me, what exactly is this little girl's identity?"

Ah... that's hard to say... I... I'm not really sure either.

Please understand, the system's capabilities are limited, and background checks aren't something that can be done just by asking...

Li Tingyun remained silent.

The atmosphere was a little solid for a while.

【Uh, well... okay, okay, host, I admit it, I did lie.】

[This little girl, she, she... oh dear, she's exactly how you imagined!]

You guessed correctly, so I don't need to go into details.

[System tasks are not issued randomly, nor am I allowed to manually change them. Even if you already know the little girl's identity, you still must protect her safety.]

This is a main quest; you must obey.

Li Tingyun: "That's why I put her in a coffin! It's the best way to protect her, so you don't need to say anything more, right?"

Yes, yes, I spoke out of turn, okay?

We're all good brothers, why single me out here...?

"You think I'm your brother? You fucking think I'm an idiot!"

Frustrated, Li Tingyun kicked up a pebble that was in his way.

The small stone passed through the golden light barrier and, with a "thud," hit the head of the only dog ​​in the cat army.

The urgent barking woke Li Tingyun.

He stopped being anxious and looked at the strange stray dog ​​that had appeared out of nowhere. He thought it looked just like the big yellow dog he owned in the real world.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "Wangcai?! Is that you, Wangcai?"

Big Yellow immediately puffed out its chest, perked up its ears, wagged its tail like a propeller, and barked even louder at him—amazing, its owner still recognized it!

Li Tingyun thought to himself: Sure enough! Nine and a half out of ten big yellow dogs have this name.

A dog appeared among the cats, and suddenly the whole place erupted in chaos. Big Yellow chased the cats away while barking at its owner.

Li Tingyun thought to himself, "This bastard seems to be urging me to follow him."

On a whim, he decided to go and see for himself.

So they stepped out of the protective barrier.

The big yellow dog circled him twice, then barked twice at the cats.

This didn't seem like a hostile signal, but rather a call for reinforcements... Li Tingyun watched as a group of cat demons, lying prone on the ground in a state of alert, folded their ears back into airplane shapes, making way for him.

At the end of the road stood a black cat.

Li Tingyun seemed to be deep in thought.

Judging from appearances, this cat demon guarding the coffin shop is the leader of the cat pack.

The big yellow dog darted forward and stood majestically in front of the black cat.

Dogs are more than three times the size of cats, and can completely overwhelm their opponents in terms of presence.

Li Tingyun, emboldened by his dog's power, thought to himself: "Good dog! Kill him! Dominating the cats is just around the corner."

Then, he watched helplessly as the dog lay down on all fours, prostrating itself before the black cat, licking its paws humbly and affectionately... Even after being slapped by the black cat, it didn't change its sycophantic nature and continued to frantically lick its paws.

Wangcai: "Cat, this is my master. Please be lenient and let us out, okay? I have so much to say to him!"

Black Cat: "Bullshit! What master? He's just a stinky poop scooper."

Wangcai: "A dog must be loyal. Humans are our best friends, and he is my master forever!"

Black Cat: "Being a cat means being proud. Humans are our most loyal dogs, and I will always be their master."

Wangcai: "...A gentleman seeks harmony without uniformity. I respect your ideas, but I reserve my own stance."

Black Cat: "You spineless bastard!"

With a howl and a slap, the big yellow dog had three scratch marks on its muzzle.

Upon seeing this, Li Tingyun couldn't help but hiss; it looked incredibly painful.

The big yellow dog suddenly sprang to its feet.

He stood up!

He finally stood up!

Li Tingyun secretly cheered him on, thinking to himself, "Wangcai, as long as you can kill him, you're still a good dog!"

Big Yellow had grown taller, forcing Black Cat to look up at him, its emerald green eyes narrowing slightly.

Wangcai: "Did you scratch my owner until he bled?!"

Black Cat: "So what if it is?"

Wangcai bared its teeth at him, then suddenly lowered its head and continued licking its injured paw, acting as obsequiously as possible.

Li Tingyun was completely petrified.

He said to Lao Liu, "Does the system offer animal language translation? I want to hear what's going on in his dog brain!"

Wang Laoliu rubbed his hands together like a fly, clearly wanting to watch the excitement. He said:

Hey, you know what, this actually works!

Wangcai was gently licking the wounds on the cat's paws that had been burned by the demonic energy.

"Hey...why did you scratch him?"

"You don't know, my master's blood is so poisonous that anyone who touches it will be injured!"

"Ahem, I'm only telling this secret to one cat."

"In short, my master is very strange. He has a bad temper and high cultivation. You can't stand him, but you can't do anything about it. It's best not to provoke him in the future."

Although the black cat was ungrateful, it didn't grab him again, but said with disgust, "You stinky dog, stay away from me."

Wangcai clung to him with a grin and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll go back to Master's medicine room and steal a Banlangen that cures all diseases for you!"

Li Tingyun was so angry that he jumped up and down, "Oh ho, you good-for-nothing!"

Wangcai's body trembled, its front paws were suddenly grabbed and it was lifted up, its belly exposed. Its four legs became upright, and it could only rely on its two hind legs to step on the ground and tap dance back and forth.

"Woof...woof...woof woof..."

The dog's face turned yellow, and it quickly squeezed its legs together, almost exposing its testicles in front of the cat.

Lose someone to death.

"Master, Master! Give me some face... I really love this black cat..."

Li Tingyun ignored him, grabbed the dog, and dragged it away.

Behind him, the black cat transformed into human form and squatted on the ground.

He did not send a signal to his companions to intercept or attack.

The man in black slowly stood up and watched their departing figures from afar.

The warmth seemed to linger between the fingers of the drooping hand.

"Xuan Yu, Xuan Yu! You let them go, how are we going to explain this to Si Wuxie?"

A chorus of meows rose and fell as the cat demons huddled together, discussing their next move.

"When did I need to explain my affairs to that old vixen?"

Xuan Yu said coldly.

On the other side, the "old fox spirit" that the black cat mentioned was hiding in a corner, trembling as she wrapped her head with her nine tails.

"Immortal Lord, spare my life!"

"Go ahead."

Mei Shiyu sheathed her sword. "Si Wuxie, did you bring me here to say something to me alone?"

Si Wuxie immediately perked up, crawled out from the corner, and approached Mei Shiyu, asking in surprise, "How did you know it was me? And how did you know I deliberately lured you out?"

"It does not matter."

Mei Shiyu pulled away from him and said, "I know you have an unusual appearance, with double pupils that can see secrets that no one else knows... What exactly do you want to tell me?"

"Immortal Venerable, haven't you already guessed what I wanted to say?"

Si Wuxie frankly said, "I can tell that the little tagalong beside you is no good!"

Upon hearing this, Mei Shiyu did not show any surprise on his face.

He simply tightened his grip on the sword.
