It’s finally here! Damned weasel spirit. Even if my dad offended you, he’s lying in hospital now. You’re still not willing to give up? You want to kill him? Li Xianyu’s understanding of yellow weasels was only limited to online stories. The animals that were related to them were rats, snakes, foxes and hedgehogs. They were known as the five Immortals of the Northeast, also known as: Hu, Huang, Bai, Liu, and Hui.
The notion of “five immortals”, in fact, were little spirits and monsters. After opening the door of the new world, Li Xianyu thought that these would be the other species that had achieved an awakening.
In all kinds of stories, these beings had a very strong sense of vengeance towards those who offended them. The offenders usually did not end up in a good state. Of course, they did good things as well, such as eating incense left behind by humans to ensure human peace.
Yes, these were all folklore, which had been distorted and distorted in the process of being passed down numerous times. It was better to take all these with a pinch of salt.
It was also bad luck that his adoptive father offended a weasel which had awakened. Were both father and son trouble magnets?
Li Xianyu pretended to be sleeping, ready to “surprise” the other party. After the window was opened, the sound of movement disappeared. He could feel a weak force approaching, but why were there no footsteps?
With his current hearing power, he could hear the sound of a pin dropping. He could hear the heartbeat of his adoptive father and the middle-aged uncle on the next bed clearly.
The weak force circled the room. When passing by Li Xianyu, he had a slight “squeak” of excitement on his head. The next moment, his shoulders sank as something stepped on them. Did this mean it wanted to suck his essence? Although Li Xianyu had hidden the power of his blood, the smell was still thicker and purer than ordinary people.
It seemed that the yellow weasel was more ferocious than he imagined. They were not so clear-cut about gratitude and resentment as rumours suggested. On the way to revenge, it was normal for them to catch a prey and suck the essence of the strong.
Beasts were beasts. Their ways would not change.
Li Xianyu felt that there was something on the back of his head, as his body cooled down quickly.
It was now! Li Xianyu raised his head abruptly, turned his head and roared. The invisible qi, in the form of a sword, burst out of his mouth.
The thing behind him was either scared or hurt by the qi, as it screamed.
Li Xianyu saw the thing clearly. It was a weasel that looked in between the real one and the one in the legends. Its body was translucent, like a low-end poor quality 3D projection. It fell on the ground, arched and grinned at him.
“Primordial spirit?” Li Xianyu was surprised as he raised his eyebrows. Suddenly, he felt pain in his temple. He was being assaulted mentally.
It was popular in Northeast China that yellow weasels were very good at possessing human beings. It could manipulate humans and make them do strange things, even injuring themselves. A similar ability could be achieved by spiritual awakeners.
“It seems that yellow weasels are born to be an expert in the field of mental power. Maybe this is the ancestral ability of their species. Their spirits can even leave their bodies. Pfft, Taoist talismans and thunder methods work best against these weak spirits.” Li Xianyu pretended that he can’t stand the blow and slumped onto the bed to show that he had fainted.
The yellow weasel’s spirit watched him carefully with vigilance. A few minutes later, it let its guard down. He approached Li Xianyu carefully, hesitated, and then jumped on him, intending to suck his essence again.
Li Xianyu suddenly opened his eyes as his right hand was surrounded by electric sparks. He slapped the weasel hard once.
“Squeak!” Cries of agony. The weasel’s spirit disintegrated. After a few seconds, it reintegrated, but became more dim and transparent. It dared not stay any longer, jumped out of the window and escaped.
“Pfft. It doesn’t seem to be as powerful as I think.” Li Xianyu chased after the spirit.
According to the common sense of the human demon descendants, anyone who could get the spirit out of the body must have been a super expert, and he had to specialize in the mental skill of Taoism. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the spiritual awakener was, he couldn’t get the spirit out of the body.
The yellow weasel seemed to have a special skill of allowing its primordial spirit to leave its body. This could also be its talent. They could achieve it much easier than human beings.
In the middle of the night, there were few vehicles on the road, much less pedestrians. On the spacious road, the yellow weasel that could not be captured by cameras ran for its life, crossed the road, office building and flower gardens, and finally plunged into the bushes as its primordial spirit was on the verge of collapsing.
A few seconds later, the bushes shook slightly, and the head of a yellow weasel stuck out, looking around on guard.
“Hey, behind you,” the man’s voice sounded.
The hair of the yellow weasel’s body stood upright. As it was just about to escape, its neck was picked up by someone. Then, its small head was hit by a heavy object, blow after blow.
“Let go of me. Let go of me, you damned human being.” The yellow weasel was knocked dizzy.
“Fuck, you can talk?” Li Xianyu was shocked.
“Die!” yelled the yellow weasel angrily.
Poof! Its butthole opened, as a stream of pungent yellow smoke streamed out.
Li Xianyu’s eyes turned, and he released the yellow weasel, staggering back and forth like a drunkard. The yellow weasel was in a no better state. Having been struck on the head heavily and repeatedly, it staggered back and forth on the ground as well.
Li Xianyu held his knee and puked for a while. Resisting his nausea, he bit his teeth and stepped on the yellow weasel. His lightsaber transformed into a metre long weapon as he said, “Fart again. I’ll pierce your anus.”
The yellow weasel struggled for a moment in panic, before realising that it was unable to escape. He said maliciously, “You dare to oppose the Huang family. You are waiting to be skinned alive.”
Its voice sounded quite immature, and it was not big as well. It was probably a young man in the yellow weasel’s body.
“Huang family? Is it powerful? Is it as powerful as Baoze?” Li Xianyu sneered and said, “No matter human or alien, demon descendants are not allowed to attack ordinary humans. Don’t you know this rule? You’re under arrest.”
“You’re from Baoze?” The yellow weasel was quite surprised, but immediately sniffed. “So what? This is the northeast, it’s our territory. We have the privilege to kill a few human beings.”
“Based on this sentence, you don’t deserve to be spared,” Li Xianyu said angrily.
As the yellow weasel realised that his intention to kill was real, he struggled violently. “I don’t agree. What I said is true. Our Huang family is privileged. We kill people without breaking the law.”
“Fuck you and your mum’s bullshit.”
“That’s not as bad as our fart,” the yellow weasel said. “The elders in the family said that. Baoze also admitted that. If you kill me, don’t dream of stepping out of the northeast.”
“Baoze admitted? A demon is a demon. Research before you try to bluff me.”
“You are the boaster. My family, the Huang family, has ruled the Northeast demon descendant community for hundreds of years. You are the little demon. I am the direct descendant of the Huang family’s leader. Are you sure you want to kill me? You dare to kill me?”
Li Xianyu was stunned. It sounded like he had a high standing with his bluffs.
He thought of his own penchant for attracting trouble. He was also here for the first time. Before he took action, he had his reservations. He intended to send this fellow to the Liaoning branch, and get them to deal with it appropriately.
“You, weakling? I think your family is not strong enough either. I heard there are five immortals in the northeast, not only you stinking weasels.” Li Xianyu squatted down. “Come on, tell Master.”
“I’ve just trained my primordial spirit, but I haven’t learned how to transform. Give me another ten years, and it will be easy to beat a human being like you. There are many experts in my family. If you call me Grand Master, I’ll tell you.”
Li Xianyu sneered. The laser blade brushed against the yellow weasel’s anus, scorching its fur and reddening the area.
The yellow weasel squeaked and screamed. This time, the struggle was particularly fierce.
“If you dare, let me go, I will call Dad to beat you up.”
As the laser blade neared its anus, Li Xianyu saw that the hold tightened. He sneered, “Can you speak to me properly?”
“Yes, yes…” The yellow weasel gave in. “Don’t do it, brother. I’ll tell you what you want to know.”
“Why kill my dad?”
“He provoked me first.”
“But he’s in the hospital.”
“I didn’t do it. The Lius did it.”
“Fuck, there’s one more?” Li Xianyu’s face changed. Shit, his adoptive father was still in the hospital.
