Chapter 47 - 47 47 It's Difficult for Me if You Don't Die Today

47: Chapter 47 It’s Difficult for Me if You Don’t Die Today 47: Chapter 47 It’s Difficult for Me if You Don’t Die Today Whether demons and monsters are formidable depends on who you compare them to.

It’s the same with humans.

Some people don’t dare to fight back when hit, not because they lack the ability, but because the cost of fighting back is too high.

If you go to places where there is a scant awareness of the law, the locals play dirty, each more so than the last.

When Wang Yunxiao first arrived in this world, he hesitated to strike monsters that ate people.

Because he was unfamiliar with the situation here and didn’t know what this thing was.

Wu Dalang killing a tiger with three punches not only isn’t illegal, but he could even claim a reward.

You try slide tackling a tiger; if you don’t die, you’re guaranteed a long prison sentence.

As the saying goes, the weirder the look, the quicker the execution; who knows whether something that looks like this mess counts as a nationally protected waste?

But now is not like before; nowadays, Wang Yunxiao has not only gotten a preliminary grasp of the local laws and regulations, but he has even spent a night in the cells.

He now strikes with fewer concerns.

A rat grown so big probably has some spiritual power, but not much.

If it had grown to the size of a tiger or leopard, Wang Yunxiao would guarantee not to mess with it and would turn and run.

Looking like a skinny dog, what do I have to fear from you?

People aren’t afraid of rats unless it’s a many against one situation.

What’s there to fear about one rat?

Without a word, Wang Yunxiao kicked the big black rat hard in the face.

For an average human, this kick would land right on the temple, and the consequences would naturally be clear.

The big black rat didn’t fare well either, squealing miserably as it was kicked against the wall, its skull cracking and an eyeball flying out.

However, being a demon with a cultivation achievement, even such severe injuries didn’t kill it on the spot.

It still struggled desperately, opening its mouth to spit demon Qi at Wang Yunxiao.

But as it opened its mouth, Wang Yunxiao took the opportunity to grab back his shovel.

Before it could spit out the black Qi, Wang Yunxiao picked up the shovel, swung it around, and smashed it down on its head.

With a dull thud, the big black rat was sent flying three meters away.

Spot on!

This was the last bit of consciousness it had before it passed out.

The unconsciousness didn’t last long, and soon it woke up under the excruciating heat.

Opening its eyes, it found itself tightly tied upside down on a large willow tree, with a fire blazing below its head, roasting it until it sweated profusely and felt half-dead.

Seeing Wang Yunxiao sitting beside it, holding a small iron blade and leisurely whittling a stick, the big black rat couldn’t help but grind its teeth and roar, “You little bastard, have you eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, daring to mess with your Black Lord?

You should ask around about me—I am a direct disciple of Black-Fur Ancestor.

If you hurt a single hair on me, once the old ancestor finds out, he’ll slaughter your entire family…”

“I only know about Black Cat Sheriff; never heard of Black-Fur Ancestor.”

Wang Yunxiao shook the stick in front of the big black rat, speaking calmly, “I’ll give you a chance to rethink your words, consider how you should talk to me.

Otherwise, see this stick, isn’t it just perfect for skewering meat?”

The big black rat instantly shut its mouth.

The stick in Wang Yunxiao’s hand was actually a wooden rod, about a meter long and as thick as a finger.

Just used for roasting a batch of rats.

As it watched the stick slowly slide up its back, finally stopping at its buttocks and starting to force its way in…

The big black rat began to tremble all over.

“Young Hero!

Let’s talk this out!”

Wang Yunxiao laughed and said, “Haven’t I been talking nicely to you the whole time?

What’s your name?”

Black-Fur Six hastily replied with a smile, “I am called Black-Fur Six.

This time I couldn’t recognize Mount Tai and fell into the hands of the Young Hero.

Old Six knows his mistake, please show your great mercy and spare me this time…”

Wang Yunxiao snorted coldly and slightly increased the pressure in his hand, pushing the wooden stake three inches deeper.

“Ouch, damn it…your mother…Young Hero…Hero!

Spare my life!

Spare me!”

Black-Fur Six wriggled like a maggot, screaming and begging simultaneously.

“You see, Sixth Master, you really don’t understand things.”

Wang Yunxiao chuckled and asked, “Tell me, who exactly kidnapped your descendants to use them in a sacrifice for the Evil Object?

Are you truly unaware or just pretending to be confused?”

“I really don’t know…truly!”

Black-Fur Six vigorously shook his head, tears streaming down his face.

“Even if we assume, for argument’s sake, those rats were also killed by me, why didn’t you come to me instead of going to someone else?

What’s that all about?”

Wang Yunxiao tightened his grip on the stake, giving Black-Fur Six a chilling smile, “The rules of the Jianghu World are clear, mischief should not involve family or innocent people, especially those unrelated to me.

If I don’t skin you alive today, how will I, Wang Yunxiao, ever establish myself in the Jianghu World?

Should I let others mock me for not even being able to deal with a mere rat?”

Black-Fur Six was stunned, utterly horrified.

Do you hear what you’re saying?

How can you be so ruthless at such a young age?

If people know you, they know you’re a student in school.

If they don’t know you, hearing what you just said, they might think you’re a bandit from the mountains!

What do you mean by skinning me alive?

Is there no law anymore?

The new government has even abolished the punishment of dismemberment; do you think I’m uneducated?

But as the saying goes, a wise man does not suffer losses before his eyes.

Black-Fur Six was very decisively cowardly.

“Young Hero!

Hero!

Great man!

I admit I was wrong this time.

I hope you can spare me this ordeal, and I will definitely repay you generously in the future…

no, right now!

Please name your price, how much money will buy me my old life?”

“Money is not important to me,”

Wang Yunxiao said calmly, “If you want to live, I’ll give you a chance.

Explain everything clearly about today’s matter, from start to finish, and I’ll let you go.

If you can’t explain, even if Laozi himself comes, you’ll still die here!”

Black-Fur Six shivered all over and immediately confessed everything he knew.

It wasn’t originally called Black-Fur Six.

Creatures like it that had just learned to speak but couldn’t transform yet had no right to a name.

In the Former Dynasty era, the North often saw the practice of invoking, also known as Shamanic Spirit Communication, serving the five Home-Protecting Immortals of fox, tawny, white, willow, and ash.

The reasons were twofold: it was inexpensive and practical.

Those temples and Taoist retreats, the Reputable Sects, even visiting them for a prayer required Incense Offerings, and conducting rituals wasn’t cheap without Silver Coins.

If you wanted to serve at home, at the very least, you’d need a statue and two recitations of the scriptures… Such expenses might be nothing for rich people, but they were unbearable for ordinary folks.

Home-Protecting Immortals weren’t so demanding.

You just find a wooden plank, write the name of the Immortal Family on it, set it up, and that’s it.

Whatever you eat, you offer.

Everyone understood that these weren’t official deities, but rather mountain spirits and wild demons.

They weren’t after your money or possessions, only a bit of Incense Offerings to aid their cultivation.

In big troubles, you’d still need a master to solve them.

But for ordinary folks, how many big troubles do they encounter in a lifetime?

It was nothing more than curing a minor illness or entrusting a simple dream, and that was it.
