Transmigrating into a Man's Wife: I Share the Pain with the Male Protagonist

"But there is no point for you to stay here. The royal power is overwhelming. Your resistance alone is like trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm. It is meaningless." The old Taoist said incisively.

Li Mofu pursed his lips. He knew that in the end, he would only die, but he would regret it for the rest of his life. "Why did the Taoist priest help Lu Mingyun in the first place? He is half a royal family member, right?"

This time it was the old Taoist priest's turn to pause, "Alas, it's just fate."

"......Then is it not your destiny to be in the Marquis' Mansion this time?" Li Mofu asked curiously.

"I helped the Marquis' Mansion in the past, and now the Marquis' Mansion has also helped me, so the fate between us has been formed." The old Taoist priest said slowly.

Li Mofu looked up and down at the old Taoist priest, and seemed to understand something in his mind.

"You're right not to leave," the old Taoist sighed. "You have quite a few friends here, right? Those who are alone and helpless crave them the most."

Li Mofu was silent.

"Although my fate with the Marquis' Mansion has ended, I truly feel guilty towards you. Since you are unwilling to leave with me, I will give you a transformation bead today. This bead can transform into any animal you wish. However, you can only use it three times, each time for only one hour. After three uses, the transformation bead will disappear." The old Taoist priest put down the orange and took out a bead from his pocket while walking towards Li Mofu. "I believe you will need it one day."

Li Mofu took the emerald green bead in a daze. It was the size of a glass marble and looked like a cat's eye.

"You must cherish these three chances. It may not be able to change the situation or turn the tide, but it will definitely save you from danger. Maybe you can even save one or two friends." The old Taoist priest instructed again.

Li Mofu touched the beads in disbelief, "Can it really change?"

"Even ghost immortals can use humans to refine medicine to help them live longer, but my beads can't transform?" The old Taoist said angrily, "If you don't believe it, return it to me!"

Li Mofu immediately grabbed the beads and said with a playful smile, "How can you take them back after you've given them to me? Hey, do you have any other treasures? I've been helping you suppress lives for so many years, so give me another treasure."

"No more. How much you gain or lose depends on your own luck." The old Taoist said calmly, "From now on, you are no longer Lu Mingyun's life-guard, and the transmission of pain will also disappear."

Li Mofu wanted to curry favor with the old Taoist priest again, but he disappeared from his sight in the blink of an eye.

"......" Li Mofu was about to say what was in his throat, but the person just disappeared like that?

At this time, the big orange cat let out a cry, then jumped up and rubbed against Li Mofu, with its tail raised high as if inviting Li Mofu to come and play.

The backyard soon became quiet, and the moon in the night sky appeared from behind the clouds. Li Mofu picked up Daju and then sighed silently and long.

When Li Mofu returned to the house with Daju in his arms, Xiaoque rubbed his head to welcome him. He whispered, "Everyone, go to bed."

After saying that, he carried the two cats into the basket, and he also lay down on the bed. However, no one in the room was sleeping and neither were the cats. The cats were licking their fur, and Li Mofu was thinking about what the old Taoist said.

The old Taoist priest said that he would not interfere in the affairs of the royal family, but he saved Lu Mingyun a few years ago and used Li Mofu as a chess piece to save his life. This may be because he anticipated the blood medicine incident that would happen in the capital so many years later.

Just as he himself said, he helped the Marquis's Mansion, and the Marquis's Mansion also helped him. This is cause and effect.

The only person Li Mofu could think of who could help the old Taoist priest enter the palace was Marquis Wu'an, so during the blood medicine incident, Marquis Wu'an often went in and out of the palace, often asking for an audience with the late emperor under the pretext of discussing matters of cultivating immortals.

This is probably why Marquis Wu'an did not take the blood medicine he was rewarded with, nor did he let the sick people around him take the blood medicine.
