The Daily Life of a Lazy Author Transmigrating into a Book and Doing Nothing

"Sigh, where are they? Where did they all go? Senior Sister Yun? Peak Master?"

The thatched hut, which was crowded with people just a quarter of an hour ago, now has only a few people left, and naturally, the two people that Yu Xianxian was desperately calling for were not among them.

"Hey, sir, have you seen two beauties wearing veils? One is wearing red, and the other is wearing green."

"Oh, those two strange girls, right? They seem to have been gone for a while."

"Ah, they're gone!?"

Yu Xianxian was stunned. Could it be that the peak master and Senior Sister Yun thought she was too much of a glutton and too useless, so they didn't want her anymore?

It's possible. After all, Ling Yao originally didn't want to take her down the mountain, but then agreed. Maybe Ling Yao really thought she was too much trouble, so she used this opportunity to get rid of her.

Ahhh, if I had known this would happen, why did I insist on coming down the mountain in the first place? I would rather have been chased and interrogated by Ling Qi three hundred times a day on Lingqi Peak.

Ling Yao and Yun Meng, who were simply engrossed in solving the case and had forgotten about Yu Xianxian: ...No, no, no, you're overthinking it.

Feeling utterly abandoned, Yu Xianxian squatted down and drew several circles to express her disappointment.

But soon, she suddenly realized an even more important detail.

"Excuse me, ma'am, there was a corpse here just now, but it's gone now?"

"Ah, oh, this one? He was just taken away by the authorities, didn't you see him? If you ask me, it's better if the authorities keep this madman's body safe, lest..."

"Oh, okay, thank you."

Before the woman across from her could finish speaking, Yu Xianxian immediately ran in the direction she had just pointed.

Judging from the letter Ling Yao mentioned, there are serious problems with the local government. The body was only recently discovered, yet they are in such a hurry to take it away. Something seems very wrong.

Yu Xianxian felt she had to go and see. Of course, it wasn't just because she was kind-hearted; a small part of the reason was that if she obtained any information and gave it to Ling Yao and Yun Meng, she might still have a chance to return to the Immortal Sect.

Of course, this is only a small part of the reason.

So when Ling Yao and Yun Meng rushed back, Yu Xianxian was nowhere to be found.

"Strange, where did she go? I thought she would stay where she was and wait for us."

"It's really strange; she doesn't seem like the type to wander off like that."

Yu Xianxian: Thank you, but I tend to overthink things.

"Master, look, the body is gone. It's probably been taken away by the government officials."

"Ha, they're quite fast."

"Maybe Xianxian saw the government officials taking away the body and wanted to find out what they were up to, so she secretly followed them."

"That's possible, but this child is too reckless."

Okay, although there was a slight deviation in the process, at least the direction was correct.

After figuring out the location of the government office, the two immediately headed there.

However, no one expected that Yu Xianxian would encounter a small accident on the way.

Yu Xianxian had quickly found the officials who were transporting the corpses and secretly followed them. However, as she passed through a dark alley, someone covered her mouth with a handkerchief and dragged her inside.

Just before the sleeping potion on the handkerchief took effect, Yu Xianxian couldn't help but lament the decline of morality: ... In this day and age, do they even dare to kidnap people on the street in broad daylight?

……

"Ugh, I feel so dizzy."

After vaguely regaining consciousness, Yu Xianxian sat up, supporting her poor head with both hands.

Why her hands? Her hands and feet were bound with rope, her eyes were tightly covered with a black cloth, and even her mouth was gagged with a cloth.

Now, all she could hear was the rumble of wheels; there was none of the previous lively shouts and hawking, which meant they had most likely left the town.

Okay, Yu Xianxian, calm down. It's not the first time... no, this is the first time she's been kidnapped.

Well, now there's no experience to follow. Yu Xianxian, who has chosen to give up, feels like she'll soon be saying goodbye to the world.

"Why did you only arrest this one? What about the other two? Didn't I tell you that the other two are the ones that can fetch a good price?"

"Ugh, don't even mention it. I don't know what those three women were doing going to such an unlucky place with dead bodies. When the government officials came to collect the body, could I just openly kidnap them? As a result, I lost track of the other two women and left this one to make do with."

Yu Xianxian, who is only good enough to make do: ...

Damn, are human traffickers this particular about product quality these days?

Ah, kidnapping people in broad daylight, is there no law in this city?

At this moment, feeling utterly hopeless, Yu Xianxian leaned her head against the bumpy carriage, her mind already chanting prayers to every Buddha and deity she could think of.

Oh, dear Buddha, dear Guanyin Bodhisattva, or dear Great Sage, whoever it is, please come quickly and save her dog's life!

Whether it was true that the prayers worked or not, not long after, the two bandits in front actually started shouting.

"Oh dear, look, what's that?"

"What? Oh my god, what kind of monster is that? Oh no, it's charging at us."

Then came two piercing screams.

Before Yu Xianxian could react to what was happening, the curtain in front of her was lifted by a white tail.

Wait, a tail? That can't be human.

Yu Xianxian reassured herself again, "It's okay, it's okay, as long as it's not a magical beast. Spirit beasts are all very gentle, right?"

Well, the blood from the two people in front has already flowed over, so it seems there's no hope. Feeling nauseous, Yu Xianxian thought that was the last thing she could think of before she fainted.

Unexpectedly, the next second, as the curtain was lifted, the full appearance of the thing was revealed, and Yu Xianxian immediately stopped fainting.

Oh, excuse me, please remove the cloth from her mouth. She's genuinely disgusted by how ugly it looks.

From a distance, it looked like a white tiger, with a long, thin, and powerful tail, and its body was covered with thick fur with black stripes.

But why would such a fierce yet somewhat handsome white tiger have a human face, and that human face is covered in blood and gore?

The other person had large eye sockets, but they were dark inside, like two big pits.

Furthermore, the forepaws of this unidentified creature are clearly two human hands, making it look extremely bizarre.

At this moment, the creature was staring at Yu Xianxian with its large, black eyes, already regarding her as food.

Faced with this situation, it's rare that Yu Xianxian can still think to herself, "Dude, can you really see anything?"
