Transmigrating to another world, starting as a mountain god

Yun Fugui left, clutching the sandalwood box and sporting a large belly.

He was in so much pain that he felt like he was about to die at any moment.

Inside the room, Zhao Wanjun rummaged through various items, hoping to find some clues about the thief.

Li Yuan sat listlessly on a rosewood chair:

"This fatso is so greasy, even the chair smells a bit oily."

He felt disgusted, realizing that being an immortal was so difficult.

If Li Yuan stayed in this room any longer, he felt he might actually vomit some immortal juice.

But Zhao Wanjun was very serious about finding clues.

"Do you think it's possible that the thief is a repeat offender who knows how to erase his tracks?"

Li Yuan was about to lose his temper over the lingering smell of grease.

Zhao Wanjun searched the entire room and carefully put all the items back in their places.

She turned to look at Li Yuan: "Indeed, the room was quite clean, without a single trace left."

"Why don't you try using the special abilities you mentioned?" Zhao Wanjun suggested.

Li Yuan covered his nose: "Wait, I'm a little..."

Zhao Wanjun was puzzled.

"I......"

"Ugh~"

Li Yuan gagged a few times and fled the room as if escaping.

Before Yun Fugui left, the room mainly smelled of grease.

Who knew that after he left, the room smelled like it was fermenting at an alarming rate, with an oily odor that assaulted the senses.

Li Yuan felt a little better after moving ten meters away from the room.

That smell couldn't harm his immortal body, but it could ravage his soul!

This is a source of extreme psychological discomfort.

"Suddenly, I felt a bit of admiration for that thief."

Li Yuan sighed with emotion.

What kind of person could possibly tolerate such a horrible greasy smell?!

Zhao Wanjun followed behind.

Her face was flushed red, clearly she had been holding her breath inside for a long time.

“Li Xiaoyao, it’s your turn to perform!” Zhao Wanjun said.

She was quite interested in seeing what the people from other worlds were capable of.

Li Yuan paused for a moment before saying, "Let me show you!"

Zhao Wanjun's eyes showed anticipation.

Li Yuan closed his eyes on the spot, and in less than three seconds said: "All done."

Zhao Wanjun: ? ? ?

Li Yuan looked confident.

"So fast?" Zhao Wanjun asked suspiciously.

“Of course! Do you think we need to set up a formation or chant a spell?” Li Yuan said matter-of-factly.

Zhao Wanjun coughed lightly: "No, it's just that I think you're moving too fast..."

For some reason, Li Yuan felt insulted.

He scratched his head: "That thief did leave a trace after all, on the top of the roof beam."

Zhao Wanjun's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Go and see for yourself, and you will know."

He cannot use his divine power on mortals, but as a deity, he still possesses powerful divine sense.

Zhao Wanjun took a deep breath and went back to her room.

After a while, her face turned purple from holding it in, and she quickly ran out.

"How is it?" Li Yuan asked.

He could never go back into that room; even Jesus couldn't help him!

Zhao Wanjun's chest heaved violently, clearly overwhelmed by the smell of oil from that fat man's room.

"We've come up with some clues." She took a deep breath, a hint of excitement on her beautiful face.

"The thief left half a footprint on the roof beam. Based on the size and depth of the footprint, it is estimated to be a thin man!"

“He was wounded by my arrow last night, and his legs are injured. We only need to check thin, injured men!”

Zhao Wanjun felt this was a major breakthrough.

If we block the city gates and keep searching every day, we'll eventually catch that thief!

But Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "Is that all the clues you have?"

"That fatso lost 30 years of his life for nothing... Uh, never mind."

Fortunately, Zhao Wanjun was deep in thought and didn't hear what Li Yuan was muttering.

Seeing Zhao Wanjun racking her brains to figure out how to ensure everything went perfectly, Li Yuan was speechless and said:

"Your method is so stupid!"

Zhao Wanjun suddenly looked up, somewhat displeased: "What brilliant idea do you have?"

Li Yuan pursed his lips and pointed his gaze at Old Wang, the servant who was secretly listening nearby.

The two realized that Yun's 'dog shit' mansion was not a place for detailed discussions, so they left immediately and found a corner.

Li Yuan squatted in a corner of an alley and spat, "Doesn't that thief love gold?"

"You should secretly contact a few wealthy families and ask them to exchange their silver for gold first, so that the thief will make his move!"

Zhao Wanjun stood aside and said disdainfully, "I thought it was some great idea!"

“That thief is very vigilant. We can arrange for gold, but as long as we send people to keep watch nearby, it’s as if he knows in advance and doesn’t show himself at all!”

"If we don't send someone to guard it, that thief can easily succeed, and all our efforts will be wasted!"

Li Yuan smiled wickedly:

"Then you could just smear some colorless and odorless poison on the gold..."

"As long as that thief succeeds and touches the gold, won't that solve everything?"

Zhao Wanjun was taken aback: "This...this seems a bit inappropriate..."

"Gold laced with poison—if it falls into someone else's hands, wouldn't that harm them...?"

Li Yuan clicked his tongue: "Why don't you get some poison with an antidote?"

"Once that thief makes his move, inform the entire city that a batch of gold has recently been accidentally contaminated with poison powder, and the government office has the antidote..."

"Summon everyone who has recently come into contact with gold to the yamen. They must come in person. The antidote will be distributed according to each individual's degree of poisoning..."

"Then the thief will come to us on his own. Why would you need to guard the city gates?"

Zhao Wanjun's eyes lit up slightly.

Li Yuan had something big planned.

"Besides, isn't that thief incredibly monstrous?"

"You should prepare some special poison and apply it to those undergarments..."

"The gold might have been passed down through someone else, but this thief's perverted personal quirks... humph..."

"A double trap. If he falls for either one, unless he's suicidal, he'll come begging for the antidote!"

A wicked glint flashed across Li Yuan's face.

Zhao Wanjun stared at Li Yuan in horror.

"Are you... are you the devil?"

Her youthful and energetic face was filled with fear.

She couldn't even imagine how terrible it would be if the thief fell for her trick!

Li Yuan, however, was reminiscing about some basic operations from the 21st century.

He thought of the outrageous antics of the villains in those online novels.

"what is this!"

“You can even have some people pretend to be bricklayers, build roofs, and coat the roof tiles of those houses with volatile poison.”

"Even if the thief approaches at night, the poison will still dissipate in the air and knock him unconscious!"

"This method doesn't even risk accidentally hurting others; all you have to do is tell these people not to go on their roofs for a while!"

Zhao Wanjun quietly swallowed.

Is this guy a little poisoner?

Why does every single scheme involve poison?

What kind of hermit is she? She thinks she's a poison-using madman!

Zhao Wanjun felt a sense of disdain for Li Yuan.

Li Yuan noticed the subtle change in Zhao Wanjun's attitude.

"To deal with this kind of perversion, you have to use even more perverse methods!"

"You want to use a clumsy method and search for years on end."

"Or should we exploit the inherent weakness of the thief's actions to solve the problem once and for all?"

"Using poison is the most manpower-saving method."

"What's the use of having more people? If they could catch them, they would have done it long ago. The fact that they haven't been able to bring them to justice means that the thief has some powerful backing."

"But if you alert the enemy, all your plans will be for nothing, and you'll have wasted a lot of energy, won't you?"

Actually, Li Yuan really wanted to say:

It's a pity it's an ancient world, otherwise we could just secretly install a surveillance camera and avoid all this trouble.

Zhao Wanjun seemed to be deep in thought.

"But this is ultimately too malicious... I'm worried about accidentally harming other innocent people."

She feared that innocent civilians would be implicated in this wicked scheme.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Who among the common people has access to gold? Many people don't even own a whole tael of silver."

"The poison is all coated on the gold."

"As long as you operate properly, no one will be an innocent victim of poisoning."

Zhao Wanjun finally understood what was going on.

"Are you saying that there are high-ranking officials and nobles in the city who secretly associate with this thief, so the thief can always avoid our surveillance?"

"Is the poisoning not only for capturing the thief, but also to expose the person behind it all?"

Li Yuan smiled without saying a word.

Zhao Wanjun was silent for a moment, then her eyes blazed with intense anger:

"Let's go with your plan!"

"The theft has disturbed the peace of the capital. A large amount of gold has been stolen, and countless women have had their intimate clothing stolen, leading to widespread rumors and damage to their reputations!"

"If there really is collusion between officials and traitors, I hope they'll be tough enough not to come begging for the antidote!"

Although Zhao Wanjun was a woman, she was an extremely upright person.

She even persuaded her family to let her, as a daughter, enter the government as an official.

He even rose to the position of Si Ya, a rank second only to the city yamen in the capital.

It is easy to imagine how much determination and courage lies beneath her beautiful appearance.

The thought of collusion between officials and criminals, which caused countless people to suffer losses and even ruined the reputation of respectable women, filled Zhao Wanjun with boundless rage!
