Chapter 1658: Chapter 1501: Yin Yang Inn 57
Feng Lin has always liked Bai Yao. During this time, he has been taking care of Bai Yao. Now that Bai Yao’s second uncle is like this, Feng Lin also feels bad, but he still wants to say a few good words for Bai Yao.
Qi Shuangshuang shook her head, didn’t say anything, but on the side Li Yu mercilessly said: "You, you are really naive enough, you treat her as a friend and wholeheartedly take care.
But look at today, she is quite proud of her standing, a Divine Beast by birth, never mentioning you once, don’t go up thinking too much of yourself, you are just an ordinary Cat Demon, a world apart from her Divine Beast status."
Li Yu’s words were quite impolite, but Feng Lin, who usually liked to oppose Li Yu the most, did not speak up, instead, with a difficult expression, turned around and ran away.
Qi Shuangshuang watched Feng Lin’s departing figure, sighed, and said to Li Yu: "I know you mean well, afraid Feng Lin might genuinely develop feelings for Bai Yao and get hurt in the future, but did you have to be so harsh?"
Qi Shuangshuang knows Li Yu thought about Bai Yao’s background as a Divine Beast; she herself is still young, without much concept of status differences, and played well with Feng Lin.
But seeing her second uncle’s attitude today, it’s clear that her elders definitely won’t want Bai Yao to befriend someone like Feng Lin, an ordinary Cat Demon.
Rather than letting Feng Lin always cherish the bond with Bai Yao and face disappointment later, better to say it harshly now, directly severing that bit of sentiment Feng Lin has for Bai Yao.
Li Yu was completely indifferent to Qi Shuangshuang’s words: "You’re only thinking of hiding that cat under your wing. Without experiencing storms, he’ll never grow up in this life, moreover, long pain is worse than short pain, better to see clearly early."
Qi Shuangshuang silently shook her fan without speaking, actually feeling a bit guilty. At the start, when Feng Lin and Bai Yao were having fun together, Qi Shuangshuang had some vague concerns.
In mythological novels and folk tales, the Underworld is always managed by the Heavenly Court, or rather the Heavenly Court always has an advantage over the Underworld, but actually, it’s not like this.
The Heavenly Court governs life, the Underworld governs death, originally neither is superior, each performing their duties, the Heavenly Emperor has no authority over the Netherworld King, nor can the Netherworld King influence the Heavenly Realm.
However, the immortals in the Heavenly Court don’t know if it’s because they watch too much folk tales, truly think themselves superior to the Underworld, always viewing those from the Underworld as beneath them.
Even though the Yin Yang Inn claims not to be under the jurisdiction of the Underworld, it is closely related to it, in the eyes of those celestial beings up above, they are aligned with the Underworld, naturally not looked upon favorably.
In the eyes of the immortals above, people from the Underworld don’t deserve to be treated equally with them, they really view the Underworld like subordinates, this sense of superiority is deeply rooted.
With such a mindset, Qi Shuangshuang had long thought Bai Yao’s family might not allow Bai Yao and Feng Lin to be friends, but Qi Shuangshuang still held a bit of luck seeing Feng Lin and Bai Yao getting along so well.
Because most Divine Beasts are peaceful by nature, not seeing much of a status gap in people, Qi Shuangshuang thought since Taotie Clan are Ancient Divine Beasts, perhaps noble in character, unlike those celestial beings.
Who’d have thought maybe having spent too long with those celestial beings, as a Divine Beast, she also learned those hypocritical and proud faces of immortals, making Qi Shuangshuang regret not stopping Feng Lin and Bai Yao from getting so close earlier.
Had she known earlier, Qi Shuangshuang would not have let Bai Yao stay at the Yin Yang Inn to interact with Feng Lin, but followed the original plan to hand Bai Yao over to the Netherworld King.
Fortunately, Feng Lin is a child who can see things clearly, after being upset for a day that’s all, of course, the thanks offered by Bai Yao’s second uncle were randomly piled in a corner by the Wood Demon, with no one going to take them.
After Bai Yao left, life in the inn returned to peace. The newly joined Yun Qing only returns once every few days, spending most of his time outside doing good deeds, accumulating virtues.
With Yun Qing around, Li Yu who was busiest before, now rarely enjoys leisure, recently taking a liking to turning into his true form and watching flower seas with Qi Shuangshuang.
Li Yu’s true form, the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox has fluffy snow-white fur, combined with red demon patterns, very striking, but the form he usually takes is a jet-black fox, completely black without a speck of mixed fur.
A pure black fox may not have the striking appearance of a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, but it has a mysterious allure with its uniform black fur, not unattractive.
It’s said this is because Li Yu’s mother was a black fox, and his father a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, hence he has two forms, one ordinary black fox and one Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox.
The passage of time in the Mortal World means nothing to those in the Yin Yang Inn, as time flies by, humans in the Mortal World age and are reborn, experiencing the cycle of life and death.
For those in the Yin Yang Inn, they do not feel the passage of time, they do not die or age, eternally guarding here, completing the soul crossing mission.
In such repetitive days, the Yin Yang Inn welcomed an old acquaintance of both Qi Shuangshuang and Pei Shaosen.
This person was the one who, when Qi Shuangshuang called Pei Shaosen back, helped Pei Shaosen resolve his grudge against his enemy Qian Jing, relieving Pei Shaosen’s resentment, named Xing Yanfei.
Xing Yanfei was only in his fifties, a martial artist, strong and healthy. Dying at fifty counts as early demise in his prime.
When Xing Yanfei arrived at the Yin Yang Inn, he looked extremely distressed, his body covered in wounds, each wound appeared deep, continuously bleeding.
The blood dyed him like a blood-soaked person, leaving a trail of blood footprints on the ground with his movements.
Xing Yanfei woodenly walked into the Yin Yang Inn, upon seeing Pei Shaosen only hesitated briefly, without much reaction, sat in a chair, silently asking for a bowl of noodles to eat.
Pei Shaosen was always grateful to Xing Yanfei. If it weren’t for Xing Yanfei, it wouldn’t have been so easy for him to take revenge. Seeing Xing Yanfei dead and arriving at the Yin Yang Inn now, Pei Shaosen became quite anxious.
It’s well known that all spirits coming to the Yin Yang Inn harbor unresolved issues or grievances, so Pei Shaosen, worried, immediately sought out Qi Shuangshuang.
Qi Shuangshuang was originally lying in the room sunbathing with Li Yu, Qi Shuangshuang was dozing off on the beauty bed, Li Yu lay on the balcony, his fur fluffed from sunning.
But at that moment, Qi Shuangshuang was hurriedly dragged out of the room by Pei Shaosen to the hall to see Xing Yanfei.
Eating noodles, Xing Yanfei saw Qi Shuangshuang, hesitated for quite a while before recognizing who Qi Shuangshuang was.
In fact, if not for the deep impression Qi Shuangshuang left on Xing Yanfei back then, Xing Yanfei would have long forgotten who Qi Shuangshuang was.
After all, Xing Yanfei was a Dragon Wei Guard, working to offend people for the Emperor, having interrogated, caught, and dealt with countless people, it’s impossible to remember them all.
