Bringing some shocking pranks to the Cultivation World
Chapter 72 - 72 65 You're actually quite good

72: Chapter 65 You’re actually quite good 72: Chapter 65 You’re actually quite good Jinyiwei Thousand Household?

Beneath the city wall, Gui Daozi’s face changed instantly upon hearing these words, his originally composed steps faltered, and his right foot almost slipped off.

No, you are a Jinyiwei Thousand Household, why are you doing grunt work on top of the city gate?

Is there something wrong with your brain?

Shouldn’t you be inside the Jinyiwei headquarters in the city, cuddling with a couple of beauties, reading the Emperor’s quotations, and occasionally ordering your servants to sweep up the city’s poor?

What are you doing up on the city gate wall?

Gui Daozi might be a bit mad, after all, his favorite thing to do is to devour his disciples after taking them in, but that doesn’t mean he’s out of his mind.

Gui Daozi, now controlling this body, is merely a Second Realm Spiritual Qi Master, and even with the zombie’s traits of “never tiring, never feeling pain,” he has no way to confront a Jinyiwei Thousand Household.

No, I can’t lose this body.

If it were any other city, Gui Daozi wouldn’t care about losing this government official’s body; he’d just discard it and get another one.

After all, for someone like Gui Daozi, killing people is even more convenient than eating, because eating involves washing dishes afterward.

But he couldn’t have imagined that the County Magistrate Li Kuan of Beiliang City would act so decisively, immediately locking down the city upon detecting the presence of a zombie, and to such an extent that truly no one in the city could go out, nor could anyone enter.

Gui Daozi’s tried-and-true method of murder and body-snatching turned out to be useless here.

Wait a moment.

Sighing silently in his heart, Gui Daozi tugged at the token around his waist, preparing to quietly leave this place.

However, just as he turned around and took the first step, he heard a commanding shout.

“Hey, you, stop right there!”

Gui Daozi’s heart tightened, for he recognized the voice as calling for him.

He thought about running away at first, but quickly calmed down, realizing that a body of a Second Realm Spiritual Qi Master trying to escape the control of a Jinyiwei Thousand Household was nothing short of a pipe dream.

Heh, what haven’t I, Young Master Dao, seen?

With a cold sneer in his heart and having impersonated countless people he had killed and devoured, Gui Daozi had long mastered superb acting skills.

He turned around, looked up, and was just about to speak when suddenly, his body shuddered.

All he saw beneath the moonlight was a man holding a long saber, draped in a red robe, his righteousness like Guan Yu returned to life.

He stared fixedly at Gui Daozi, his eyes as wide as brass bells, shooting out lightning-like sharpness.

Damn it, have I been discovered?

Gui Daozi’s heart chilled, and just as he was about to speak up in explanation, he heard the caring inquiry of the Thousand Household from the city gate tower.

“What happened to your right leg?

Why is it bleeding?”

Hm?

Gui Daozi was momentarily stunned, only then remembering the injury on the right leg of the body he occupied, which had not yet spread to the lower leg due to the zombie’s constitution.

His eyes darted, and he lifted his head, his tone full of sorrow:

“Sir, I was patrolling near the city gate and accidentally fell off the city wall.

Fortunately, the bushes cushioned my fall, and I was not smashed to death, but my right leg was cut and I have difficulty moving.

I hope you will forgive my negligence and allow me to return to the county to recover.”

“No!”

What Gui Daozi had not expected was that the Thousand Household atop the city gate unconditionally rejected his humble request without leaving any room for negotiation.

Heh, it seems that those earlier words were just lip service to win over the people; now faced with a lone pawn like myself, his true nature is revealed.

Gui Daozi sneered silently in his heart, and just as he was ready to abandon this body, suddenly, a shadow leapt down from the city wall, and the righteous, square-faced Thousand Household appeared before Gui Daozi, declaring sternly:

“It’s easy for you to aggravate your wound if you enter the city by yourself, come…”

The Thousand Household turned around, his back facing Gui Daozi, speaking gently:

“I’ll carry you.”

Three Pure Ones above, I’ve really never seen anything like this motherfucker.

Looking at the Thousand Household in front of him, who was sincere and caring, brimming with emotion, Gui Daozi felt as sick as if he had swallowed half a pound of garlic-ridden flies.

“You should first go to my place and apply some medicine to treat your injuries,”

Damn, this Thousand Household is strangely nice, huh?

In an instant, Gui Daozi made up his mind that if he could get into the city by mingling with the Thousand Household, it wouldn’t be a bad deal at all.

After all, the Thousand Household’s residence was definitely near the Jinyiwei outpost, close to the crowds, perfect for him to strut his stuff.

Five minutes later, looking up at the run-down thatched hut on top of the city gate tower, Gui Daozi fell silent.

“Haha, I’m afraid you’ll have to put up with it for now,”

Pushing open the door of the thatched hut and placing the wounded man on the only bed, the Thousand Household said with a sunny smile,

“The city defense duties have been heavy recently, and everyone has been awfully busy, hardly going home.

I figured since I’m a bachelor with nothing much to do, I’d just set up a temporary shelter and take a few shifts for the brothers, so they could go home for a hot meal.”

Fuck, what a saint of nine generations.

At this moment, Gui Daozi’s world view was under unprecedented challenge.

The Thousand Household in front of him might not be uniquely outstanding within the Jinyiwei, but he could certainly be described as shockingly unconventional.

Please, you’re a Jinyiwei, the Emperor’s dog, the Imperial Court’s executioner.

Besides bullying men and overpowering women every day, you should be enjoying the game of exterminating nine kin; what the hell are you doing here acting like you’re one of Da Ming’s Top Ten Inspirational Figures?

Is there something wrong with your brain?

“My lord…

Your lordship is so cultured.”

To preserve his body, Gui Daozi could only submit and said weakly, “I really am troubled by your lordship,I’m immensely grateful.”

“Hey, we’re all brothers striving for a living, no need to be polite.”

The Thousand Household waved his hand dismissively and said, “I’ll go get the medicine, you take a good rest.”

With that, the Thousand Household walked over to a shelf with a box on it and began searching for medicine.

No, this is too intriguing.

Gui Daozi narrowed his eyes, as he truly couldn’t understand whether the Thousand Household was genuinely good or just pretending.

If he were truly good, then him being able to hold the position of Thousand Household was surely due to great fortune, since kind-hearted people simply couldn’t survive in the Jinyiwei.

But if it were pretense, then this man’s thoughts were much deeper than Gui Daozi had imagined and even possibly had already seen through his identity.

Observation was necessary.

With a slight movement of his thoughts, as a fugitive who betrayed his sect and an evil villain, he had not only killed his own master and devoured the weak within his sect, but he had also stolen the sect’s Founding Root Secret Technique—False · Peeping Heavenly Fate.

By relying on this technique that could observe the fates of others, Gui Daozi fed on souls and bodies and had somehow cultivated himself into a Sixth Realm Spiritual Qi Master.

And now, he was ready to use this secret technique once again.

The reason this technique had a “False” tag was that it was incomplete; it was developed spontaneously by the sect’s First Generation Sect Leader during his training when he encountered an Immortal Artifact.

But while he was comprehending it, that Immortal Artifact shattered his lower half, abruptly halting his insights.

Therefore…

Pain, a bone-deep, unforgettable pain.

The veins in Gui Daozi’s lower body bulged, and an unbearable pain spread to his lower half, as a part unspeakable began to gradually disintegrate.

Yes, this was the flaw of the technique.

Using it would consume one’s own lower parts as the price to activate the technique.

“If I can’t have it easy, neither can you”—First Generation Sect Leader.
