Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 258 A Bone Woman Who Sold Her Father to Bury Him (11)

After listening to the story of the White Bone Demon.

Those present discussed among themselves for a long time, criticizing the scholar for being ungrateful, lamenting the parents' love for their son, or focusing on worldly matters, discussing issues such as quack doctors causing trouble and fake Taoist priests running rampant.

Regardless of one's stance.

They all shared a common opinion: the White Bone Demon was truly endearing!

If it were me, I would never have let her down.

Regardless of which lifetime or whether we remember her or not, we should cherish her and treat her well.

So when someone curiously asked about the White Bone Demon's name, everyone paused and looked at the smiling storyteller.

It is clear that many people secretly take the story seriously.

Or perhaps he was seized by a creative urge and wanted to uncover more inside information so he could put pen to paper.

"Hehe, coincidentally, I do know a thing or two." The storyteller, Shan Bo, stroked his beard, his expression enigmatic.

"Sir! Just say the word, and you'll definitely get your reward!" The young master at the head of the group tossed a silver ingot onto the stage, indicating that his pockets were full and that he would reward the young master if he was pleased.

"I won't keep you in suspense any longer. That family's surname is Xia."

"Miss Xia, the White Bone Demon."

"Alright! I'll remember that. I'll have my uncle check it out when I get back."

"..."

Xia Youmi felt a chill run down her spine as she listened to the story, which resonated with her own experience to some extent.

Since Xia's name can be found, his title and other details must also be recorded.

Although he didn't recognize any of the people in the story, upon repeated recalling, he realized that he was the only skeleton demon in Ganzhou City.

No, we'll have to change the name temporarily.

Back at the inn, Xia Youmi checked out first, and then, in the middle of the night, while the innkeeper got up to use the night, she went back and replaced the page in the inn's register with her name, changing it to Xiao Xiaobai, who was on business in the east.

When dawn broke, after saying a final goodbye to Xiaodouzi's beloved horse, Xia Youmi left Shun'an Town and sped off southwest.

We finally arrived in Anle City at dusk.

this time,

She registered the new name she had discussed with Nian Nian while on her journey—Mi You.

The clearance documents were all purchased from the half-demon merchant introduced by the tree spirit. I bought ten copies at once, and the contents were blank so I could fill them in however I wanted.

In this world, when policies are implemented by those at lower levels, it often results in chaos, with people doing whatever is most convenient.

Nobody checks it; it's all illegal anyway.

Half-demon merchants are the kind of intermediaries who emerged from this gray area.

Most of them are born from the union of humans and demons. Although their bloodlines are different, they can be distinguished as demons, humans, and half-demons based on their transformation behaviors.

Demons are offspring who cannot directly transform into human form; they must awaken their innate talents and cultivate.

Humans, on the other hand, are in human form and do not possess the original form of the demon race. They are almost incapable of cultivation and are no different from ordinary people, except that they are physically stronger.

Half-demons are very special; they are neither human nor demon, possessing the physiological characteristics of both. However, cultivation is extremely difficult for them.

They are like sieves; without a complete dantian (energy center), no matter how much you cultivate, it all leaks out.

It poses no threat to humans and is very easy to identify.

Therefore,

Half-demons are usually not accepted by either side.

Many half-demons were abandoned immediately after birth.

If they are picked up, they are usually destined to be secretly hidden away and domesticated.

Gradually, the number of half-demons decreased.

Until a genius appeared.

It successfully persuaded the kings of the human and demon realms to allow it to open a friendly passage connecting the two sides.

Furthermore, this trigger can only be set by a half-demon.

In this way, many half-demons trapped in the cracks gradually gained a glimmer of hope for survival.

For thousands of years, both the human and demon realm leaders have forbidden any spirits or monsters from appearing in front of ordinary people. If this taboo were broken and chaos ensued, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, when Xia Youmi knew she would be tracked down, she subconsciously erased all traces.

This deeply ingrained concept is a lesson learned through the sacrifices of countless ancestors.

Some spirits, if they are born close to humans from the beginning, will forget their instincts in the collision of ideas.

They are often among those who give birth to half-demons.

The half-demon is like a sieve, not only targeting itself but also its mother, disrupting the mother spirit's cultivation.

If the mother is a human.

As soon as the half-demon is born, the mother will perish.

Xia Youmi heard from the tree spirit grandfather that such bad outcomes are usually caused by a mismatch in the strength of the two sides.

As long as one party is the weaker party.

The probability of giving birth to a half-demon is almost 100%.

However, with the spread of this knowledge, the chances of accidentally giving birth to a half-demon have become increasingly smaller in recent years.

No one wants to face ethical dilemmas.

Xia Youmi had come all the way from Gangu City and, apart from the book vendor introduced by the tree spirit, had not seen any half-demon.

But right now!

She had a foxy smile on her face, smelled nice, and was dressed in a neat black robe with a white undershirt.

The hat was worn high, and with each movement, you could feel something moving inside.

Xia Youmi's intuition told her not to linger.

But she really couldn't walk. Why, why was there a half-demon fox spirit acting as a waiter to attract customers here?

She was completely captivated by his alluring eyes.

Truly, she is alluring yet not gaudy, charming and graceful yet with a touch of coldness and playfulness, as if she is saying to you, "Come on!"

As she followed him inside, she could still see the waiter behind her, his robes bulging and swaying.

"Sir, our superior rooms are private courtyards, and we can even provide you with personal service."

"Don't worry, the horses will have their own separate pens, and the hay they use will be picked by specialists."

Fox Xiao Er quickly arranged everything.

They didn't seem to think Xia Youmi couldn't afford the money.

This confidence stemmed from the fact that even if she didn't pay, the inn had every means to make her work for them.

"Then... I'll stay for one night?"

To outsiders, Xia Youmi's words seemed to be directed at Xiaodouzi.

In reality, she was asking Niannian's opinion in her mind.

After reviewing the layout of the inn every year, analyzing its advantages and disadvantages, and concluding that it was a place worth staying for a while,

Xia Youmi discovered that Xiaodouzi had been happily led to a brand-new shed by Hu Xiaoer.

Lying there chewing grass, looking so comfortable, it was incredibly annoying.

Fox Xiao Er still stood there, watching Little Bean with a loving smile.

"Lead the way!"

"Alright! One VIP room!" Fox Xiao Er announced loudly.

Soon, several waiters dressed as waiters suddenly appeared from all directions and greeted Xia Youmi in unison.

She rubbed her skin until she could sit up on the tatami mat, her skin covered in goosebumps.

Listen to the innkeeper gently describe their services, which not only ensure good food and sleep, but also offer many experiential services, such as hot springs in the mountains, a dedicated area for storytelling, and guided tours of the nearby forest.

Xia Youmi only scratched the surface using human logic, without delving into the strangeness behind it.

Throughout Anle City, everyone knows that outsiders are after the forest.

She suddenly understood.

The city lord's idea was to develop everything, whether it was human or demon, as long as there was business and money to be made.

E.g,

In the forest area near Anle City, a number of astonishing projects have been explored and developed.

What? Experience the life of a spirit or monster?

What? A short drama about a human and a transvestite falling in love?

Completely subverting conventional wisdom.
