Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Qi Shuangshuang had long known that one day she would encounter Qi Shaobo at the Yin Yang Inn. She and Qi Shaobo had resolved their grudges and the debt of gratitude for raising her had been repaid with her life.

Meanwhile, Qi Shaobo had also repaid the life he owed her mother with his own. Now, Qi Shuangshuang is the Shopkeeper of the Yin Yang Inn, and Qi Shaobo is just a guest stepping into the inn, that’s all.

Seeing Qi Shaobo, who had been frightened out of his wits on the ground, thinking he was seeing a ghost every time he saw Qi Shuangshuang, once again forgetting he was already dead, Qi Shuangshuang pressed her lips together and stepped over Qi Shaobo, heading towards the inn.

Li Yu followed behind Qi Shuangshuang, glancing back at Qi Shaobo who was crawling backward on the ground, and said to Qi Shuangshuang, "Shopkeeper, aren’t you going to deal with him?"

Qi Shuangshuang casually shook the round fan in her hand, the tassels on the fan swaying: "No need to deal with him, let him be. A ghost meant to reincarnate will eventually enter the inn sooner or later."

Li Yu tilted his head, looked back at Qi Shaobo who had clambered to his feet and ran far away. He decided not to mention that if Qi Shaobo didn’t enter the Yin Yang Inn, he would become food for the Wood Demon.

Although Li Yu didn’t know the specifics of the grudge between Qi Shuangshuang and Qi Shaobo, instinctively he felt it was a source of heartache for Qi Shuangshuang and thought it best not to ask.

As Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu stepped into the Yin Yang Inn, they were greeted by the rich aroma of food. In the lobby, Feng Lin and Pei Shaosen were busy placing dishes on the tables.

Both Feng Lin and Pei Shaosen had watched the ghosts devour food ravenously and had inhaled the aroma for a long time, making them extremely hungry.

As soon as Pei Shaosen finished the accounts, they eagerly got Yuan Chongyuan to make a large feast, intending to have a big meal. That’s when Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu happened to return.

When Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu entered, Feng Lin meowed and directly pounced at Qi Shuangshuang, transforming into the form of a tabby cat mid-air and landing in her arms.

The entire cat snuggled and rolled in Qi Shuangshuang’s arms, purring contentedly: "Shopkeeper, you’re back! I’ve missed you so much, Shopkeeper."

Qi Shuangshuang held the playful tabby cat in her embrace, skillfully smoothing its fur. Feng Lin was the first demon Qi Shuangshuang formed a contract with after taking over the Yin Yang Inn.

When Qi Shuangshuang encountered Feng Lin, he was being pursued by a Dog Demon, and it was Qi Shuangshuang who saved him. Since then, Feng Lin had stayed by Qi Shuangshuang’s side.

At that time, the Yin Yang Inn had only Qi Shuangshuang and Feng Lin, just one ghost and one demon together, while the Wood Demon and Yuan Chongyuan were like invisible entities, hardly ever appearing unless necessary.

During that period, Qi Shuangshuang was feeling quite low, and with Feng Lin, a clingy Cat Demon, by her side, she devoted all her attention to him, practically raising him as a son.

This resulted in Feng Lin developing many pampered habits, such as Qi Shuangshuang not being able to leave for too long; if she did, she had to take him with her, otherwise, he would throw a tantrum.

Moreover, every time Qi Shuangshuang went out and returned, regardless of how short the duration was, Feng Lin would transform back into his original form and pounce on her, rolling in her arms and demanding she smooth his fur.

Li Yu couldn’t stand Feng Lin’s shameless behavior the most, crossing his arms, he couldn’t help but click his tongue, opening his mouth to mock Feng Lin.

"Stupid cat, can’t you have a bit more dignity? You are hundreds of years old, can you stop acting like a pet, requiring affection and hair smoothing every time the owner leaves for a bit and returns? Isn’t it embarrassing?"

Feng Lin paid no heed to Li Yu, believing Li Yu was simply jealous because he could snuggle in the Shopkeeper’s arms and get his fur smoothed, whereas the Shopkeeper never stroked Li Yu’s fur.

Feng Lin nuzzled Qi Shuangshuang’s palm, narcissistically thinking it was because he was cuter than Li Yu, and the Shopkeeper only liked him, not that stinky fox.

In reality, it was simply because Qi Shuangshuang viewed Feng Lin as still young, akin to a son or a younger brother, and comforting and caressing him felt natural. But Li Yu was different.

Li Yu was much older, a fox several thousand years old, his appearance resembling that of an adult man. It just didn’t seem appropriate to casually touch his fur.

Caressing Feng Lin was like admiring a cute younger sibling or son, indulging in affection, but stroking Li Yu would be taking advantage and acting improperly, the nature being completely different.

After enough cuddling, Feng Lin finally jumped down from Qi Shuangshuang’s embrace, instantly transforming back into his youthful form, revealing his little fangs and smiling adorably.

"Shopkeeper, you’re back at the perfect time. I just had Yuan Chongyuan prepare a big feast, you arrived just in time for the meal."

Qi Shuangshuang didn’t say much. Encountering Qi Shaobo today had left her feeling somewhat uneasy, making her relatively quiet during the meal.

Pei Shaosen, unfamiliar with Qi Shuangshuang’s temperament, didn’t perceive anything amiss, but Feng Lin, who had spent the longest time with Qi Shuangshuang, immediately noticed her mood change.

After finishing the meal and once Qi Shuangshuang and Pei Shaosen had left, Feng Lin asked Li Yu, "Did something happen during your outing? Why is the Shopkeeper in such a bad mood?"

Li Yu, pondering carefully, responded, "Today was just a matter of handling minor tasks, capturing evil ghosts that had escaped from the Underworld. We have a lot of experience with this yearly task, so we managed quite easily.

If anything stood out, it would be when the Shopkeeper and I were returning, we encountered the Shopkeeper’s father in the flower sea outside. Ever since then, the Shopkeeper hasn’t been herself."

"What! The Shopkeeper’s lousy father came!" Feng Lin exploded upon hearing Li Yu’s words, jumping up immediately and glaring with his big round cat eyes.

Li Yu noticed Feng Lin’s reaction, realizing there was something more, furrowing his brows and feeling uncomfortable he asked Feng Lin, "Do you know what’s going on?"

Without detecting the unease in Li Yu’s voice, Feng Lin angrily replied, "Of course I know! That scum has finally ended up in our hands, and his time is up!"

"He’s already dead, are you out of your mind?" Li Yu coldly retorted at Feng Lin, frowning and pursuing further, "What exactly happened? Tell me clearly."

Being the earliest to follow Qi Shuangshuang, Feng Lin had seen her at her lowest and knew her past well. Since Li Yu wasn’t an outsider, Feng Lin explained the grudge between Qi Shuangshuang and Qi Shaobo.

After listening, Li Yu’s fox ears stood upright, and an aura of malice appeared on his originally mischievous and demonic face: "That bastard dared treat the Shopkeeper like that, I’ll go finish him off!"

Feng Lin wholeheartedly agreed and nodded: "That scoundrel deserves to be finished, take me with you, I’ll go along."

As Feng Lin and Li Yu spoke, preparing to leave the Yin Yang Inn, Qi Shuangshuang’s resigned voice rang out from behind: "Don’t go causing trouble, you two. If you randomly attack a guest, you’ll end up dead. If the Underworld finds out, they’ll drag you to Hell for punishment, and I’d have to bail you out."
