I, the transmigrated villain, please wait, gentle master.

Chapter 20 He was sitting on someone else's coffin lid, cooking up an e-cigarette porridge.

Coffin shop.

It's much quieter than the one next door.

There wasn't a single living person in sight.

Li Tingyun fell to the ground, his mouth full of dust.

At the same time, I heard a "rip" sound, and my trouser leg felt cold as a blast of cold air rushed in.

It turned out that an iron hook, which appeared out of nowhere, grabbed his waistband and ripped his pants in half.

It's fucking higher than the slits on a cheongsam.

Li Tingyun cursed under his breath, thinking, "I'll just lie down wherever I fall."

But he's a little better than a salted fish; he even turned himself over.

He was suddenly confronted with the face of a woman with greasy hair and a deathly pale complexion; her pupil-less eyes stared straight at him.

Li Tingyun sprang to his feet and kicked the ugly paper effigy away.

Then, grabbing the pants that were slipping down, he hurriedly took off his storage bag and started rummaging through it.

Did Master prepare an extra set of clothes for him? Even a pair of floral shorts would be fine!

Unfortunately, there's nothing there.

But he found a package of oil paper and a package of lotus leaves, which contained pastries and snacks.

A warm feeling welled up in my heart.

But there are no pants!

Li Tingyun looked around the coffin shop, which was a square shop with only a coffin in the center and no one in sight.

So he lifted the unnailed wooden lid of the coffin and skillfully stripped the dead man of his burial clothes.

Without any hesitation, he applied it to himself.

When it comes to helping someone in an emergency, we don't stand on ceremony.

With a tightening of his wrist, the Binding Immortal Rope emitted a faint glow.

"Yuanbao, how are you?"

"Master, I am perfectly fine."

Li Tingyun was no longer worried about Mei Shiyu recalling his memories; after all, he couldn't very well come looking for him online to settle scores, could he?

So it seems that staying in the coffin shop and being with the dead for the time being isn't so bad.

Separated by a wall.

Mei Shiyu reached out and touched the wall in front of him. In an instant, the barrier ignited with red lotus fire, devouring the thin layer of ice crystals that had condensed in his palm.

If we hadn't been prepared, we might have already gotten ourselves into trouble.

His doubts grew stronger.

"Yuanbao, how did you get through the barrier?"

"Master, to be honest... I don't know."

Li Tingyun did indeed pass through the wall in a daze.

He changed the subject, saying, "Master, you need to be careful of those cultivators over there. They seem to be fellow disciples from the same sect. Their words, actions, and temperaments are all very similar. They are all cowardly bullies and equally shady. I don't know which sect in the cultivation world they are from, but they actually came to Fengdu for a team-building event. I can tell at a glance that they are not good people! So, Master, don't get entangled with them."

Mei Shiyu laughed and said, "Neither fish nor fowl? Not good people? They're not as... well, as... serious as you say?"

Li Tingyun assured, "Yes, there is. Only by always assuming the worst of others can you make yourself invincible."

Mei Shiyu paused slightly, then said meaningfully, "Then, may I also assume the same thing about you?"

Li Tingyun chuckled and said, "If Master believes that I will always be the taciturn, innocent child you remember, then you should indeed change your opinion of me and add a little more evil to your impression of me. I grew up alone and have no right to remain the most original innocence. Society is so cruel that even the most clumsy and reserved person can learn anything after being beaten down by reality a few times, including being shameless."

Mei Shiyu said seriously, "Yuanbao, remember this, none of this is 'evil,' and you are not an evil person. I will have no problems. I am worried about you. That fox demon is missing. She seems to be able to pass through the barrier. I am not sure if she followed you. The Qiankun bag is with you. There is something inside..."

Li Tingyun: "I know, there's food!"

Mei Shiyu: "..."

He said helplessly, "You should really be more careful!"

Li Tingyun: "Snacks? Yes, snacks, I saw them all, they were snacks prepared for me by Master."

Mei Shiyu fell silent again.

But then came the sound of a boy's soft laughter.

"Master, don't worry, I can protect myself."

In fact, Li Tingyun was aware of the fox demon's situation.

Previously, when he checked the merit tasks on the system panel, the one with the highest reward points was "Subduing the Thousand-Year-Old Fox Spirit", which could add 100 merit points, and the reward was quite generous.

The Qiankun Bag was with him. Mei Shiyu said that the items inside were necessities for the two of them to enter the underground realm, but in reality, they were all prepared for him alone. Mei Shiyu had no need for these odds and ends.

Li Tingyun's current situation is no different from that of an ordinary person, but with the blessing of a magical artifact, his situation will be very different.

Moreover, he could tell that the items in the Qiankun Bag were all genuine top-quality goods. He wondered how many spirit stones it would cost to buy even one of them. He couldn't help but sigh, "Mei Shiyu is indeed a senior professor from the Immortal Cultivation Academy; she's incredibly wealthy."

More than the possibility of a fox demon stalking him with ill intentions, he feared that Mei Shiyu would discover their common ground—that they were both demon cultivators—from the coincidence that both he and the fox demon could pass through the barrier.

Although Li Tingyun was not yet certain that the reason he passed through the wall was because of his cultivation of demonic arts, it was certainly inextricably linked to this.

Li Tingyun then said, "Master, don't kill that shopkeeper yet, lest you get into trouble."

Mei Shiyu resolutely replied, "I think so too."

He genuinely didn't want to have anything to do with the Taiji Hall whatsoever.

As the two chatted back and forth, Li Tingyun felt more and more like he was on the phone. He could even hear the other person's faint breathing, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance of plum blossoms lingering in his nose.

"call……"

He let out a long sigh of relief. "Master, I'm going to hang up now."

"???"

Mei Shiyu muttered to himself, "What is a 'telephone'?"

On the other side, Li Tingyun pressed down on the coffin lid, which was making strange noises, and then leaped down from it.

That's right, he was just sitting on someone's coffin lid, having a long phone conversation.

The zombie has turned into a zombie.

It can't be entirely blamed on him. There wasn't even a place to sit in the coffin shop. There were only a few paper figures lying haphazardly, and wood and wood shavings scattered all over the floor. The phrase "bare walls" was the most fitting description.

Strangely, after Li Tingyun jumped down from the coffin, he never heard the strange knocking sound again.

"Amitabha Buddha, the path to enlightenment is boundless, Amen!"

He bowed to the coffin, wishing for the blessings of Buddha, Lao Tzu, and Jesus.

Suddenly, he heard a strange "hehehe" laugh.

"Who's trying to show off their skills in front of Guan Yu?!"

Li Tingyun suddenly turned around and was surprised to find that someone could actually produce such a standard villainous laugh.

The sound didn't come from a fixed direction, but from all directions!

A gust of cold wind blew by, and I felt a chill on the back of my head.

"Little brother……"

A soft, boneless, and fair hand rested on his shoulder.

A girl's high-pitched voice came from beside him: "Why are you all alone?"

Li Tingyun wanted to grab that hand and drag this pretentious monster to his side.

But to his surprise, he found that his limbs were stiff and he could not move his body.

"Hehe, come and hit me then..."
