Guilongchao: I played the domineering CEO to the bone.

Little Impermanence led Minmoyou through the gate of the ancient house.

Upon entering the room, the two were pulled into the Dragon Realm without any explanation.

A phantom chain also appeared on Xiao Wuchang's body, one end connected to her heart, and the other end extending to the deepest part of the ancient house.

In the original storyline, the commission that Xiao Wuchang gave to Longchao Pavilion was "to assist in ferrying people across the river," but the person being ferryed was not clearly identified.

After Tong Dao accompanied Xiao Wuchang into the old house, Xiao Wuchang told her that Wuchang was afraid of becoming the kind of monster who would lose their memory and be unable to ferry others across, so after finding this place that was the only place in their memory that they cared about, they wanted to ferry themselves across.

As soon as the chains appeared, Little Impermanence was about to sever them and send himself to the River of Oblivion—but even if he severed the chains, he couldn't send himself there now.

Because she was detained by the people of Min Moyou, and spent every day with everyone in Min Moyou's family, she was constantly generating new memories and attachments. Xiao Wuchang didn't need to fear becoming an empty shell monster with lost memories.

In the original storyline, Director Tong was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see such a cute little girl like Xiao Wuchang commit suicide—at least that's how Tong saw it.

So he wanted to find an excuse to keep her here. Just then, the soul of a little black cat suddenly appeared. Tong used the excuse of letting Wuchang ferry the little black cat first to delay Wuchang's action of ferrying himself.

But the little black cat ran very fast, and seemed to be intentionally trying to lead Tong and Wuchang somewhere.

And so, while chasing the cat, Xiao Wuchang and Director Tong explored the Dragon Realm within the ancient house and gradually unraveled the mystery of Wuchang's origins.

"Meow~"

Sure enough, the soul of a little black cat jumped down from an old, withered tree that caught the eye of Min Moyou and Wuchang after they entered the old house, and swaggered around in front of them defiantly.

It looks very spiritual.

"Ah, it's a cat."

Wu Chang let out a small gasp—though there was no expression of surprise on her face.

"No, it's the cat's soul."

The little impermanence carefully sensed it and corrected his own linguistic error.

"Do you need a ferry too? Stay there and don't wander off, I'll help you."

Little Impermanence shook his bell staff and slowly and cautiously approached the little black cat. Min Moyou was also ready to follow.

Upon seeing Min Moyou and Wuchang approach, the little black cat turned and ran away!

Agile and swift! Like a black lightning bolt skimming the ground!

But how could a mere little black cat escape from Min Moyou's grasp?

Please!

The mighty Fujian tyrant has no interest in exploring the entire Dragon Realm, traversing a long stretch of rugged terrain, doing parkour, and solving puzzles while fighting monsters.

Suddenly, several earthen walls and ice walls appeared on the ground centered on the little black cat, surrounding it from all sides, layer upon layer, quickly closing in and compacting, trapping the little black cat in a small mound of frozen earth.

"Little brat, you think you can escape right under my nose?"

Min Moyou gave a wicked smile, walked closer to the small mound of earth where the little black cat was trapped, rolled up the sleeves of his suit, attached his magic power to his hands, and poked the small mound of earth from top to bottom, grabbing the little black cat's soul trapped inside and pulling it out in one swift motion.

"Overestimating one's abilities."

Why are you arguing with the kitten?

Xiao Wuchang walked over and patted the dust off Min Moyou's sleeves, seemingly with a hint of resentment.

Perhaps the amnesiac Xiao Wuchang also really likes cats.

After doing all this, Little Impermanence wanted to ferry the little black cat across.

But Min Moyou stopped him again.

"Not urgent."

"Ok?"

The little impermanence was somewhat puzzled.

"Weren't we supposed to be searching for your background? So, what are your thoughts?"

Min Moyou first shifted Wuchang's attention away from the ferry cat.

As expected, Wuchang's attention was diverted by Min Moyou's words, and he pointed to the chains spreading from his body.

"Following this path might lead me to something related to my memories, which could help me remember..."

"Wait, Little Impermanence, don't rush. There's a proper way to do things."

Min Moyou stopped Xiao Wuchang, who wanted to immediately follow the chains in pursuit.

"Since you said that this chain is connected to something, could you hold the chain and pull the thing connected to the other end over? That way we wouldn't have to go through the trouble of making the trip."

"But...this chain is illusory, not a real chain...just as a person cannot hear the words of a soul, a person cannot touch this chain..."

Little Impermanence tilted his head and explained to Minmo You.

"But isn't Xiao Wuchang a ferryman? Isn't Xiao Wuchang in a special state? Doesn't Xiao Wuchang understand the speech of souls?"

Min Moyou's three consecutive questions left Xiao Wuchang speechless.

"Oh yeah..."

Impermanence tentatively reached for the chain attached to its body, and surprisingly, it grabbed it instantly!

"Brother is so smart."

Little Impermanence rubbed against Min Moyou like a kitten, showering him with praise.

The real kitten struggled and howled in Min Moyou's hands, even attempting to attack him, but to no avail.

And so, the little impermanence grabbed the chains of obsession on his body and tugged and tugged. Before long, the other end of the chains was connected to two items—a yellowed old photograph and a broken tin can—which the impermanence pulled into his hand.

Eh?

Min Moyou suddenly felt a pull on his hand. Thinking it was Xiao Wuchang pulling him and trying to take the little black cat away, he subconsciously let go.

Only when he let go did he realize that the little black cat was also connected to a chain, but it was very faint, almost transparent. It wasn't until Xiao Wuchang pulled the two ends that were connected to the can and the photo that the chain connecting the little black cat to Wuchang gradually became clear.

The little black cat was thus pulled into someone's arms and held, along with the two things connected by chains.

As soon as the three things related to Xiao Wuchang's past came into contact with her, memories of the past flooded into Xiao Wuchang's little head like a tidal wave.

A hundred years ago, Lion District experienced a period of frequent natural disasters, plunging society into chaos. The pervasive calamities and misfortunes sparked countless conflicts, unleashing the Lion's Fury within many individuals with cursed bloodlines. Monsters roamed the streets.

The law enforcement organization in the Lion District, the Lion Guard, is overwhelmed with the task of both rescuing disaster victims and suppressing the ubiquitous Lion Demons.

The disaster caused extensive damage to property, leading to a shortage of resources throughout the Lion District. Coupled with social unrest, the Lion Guards were overwhelmed, and various factions, large and small, in the Lion District engaged in gang warfare to seize resources.

Overall, the entire Lion District was in chaos during that period, and the survival of ordinary people became extremely difficult.

At that time, the Wuchang family of three, although ordinary people without public office or imperial lineage, were considered a well-off family. They owned a large house and always had a stock of various supplies.

Logically speaking, such families should be able to weather this disaster period in the Lion District, or at least survive until resources and aid come from other districts, which would make things much better.

During this period, countless families were torn apart, people were displaced, and the kind-hearted and doting father of the impermanent child adopted a stray black cat because the impermanent child liked kittens. He also couldn't bear to see a little girl die near his home because she collapsed. In fact, in the chaos of the world, the fate of girls was often far more painful than death.

Therefore, despite the advice of Xiao Wuchang's mother, Xiao Wuchang's father adopted the little girl.

Although she was called a little girl, she was actually fifteen or sixteen years old, older than the thirteen or fourteen-year-old Xiao Wuchang at the time. So, Wuchang gained an older sister.

It turns out that the little black cat in Wuchang's arms is the soul of the little black cat that Wuchang adopted before his death.

A hundred years ago, when Wuchang and her sister were still alive, Wuchang's sister always compared herself to this little black cat, sentimental and secretly desolate...

But Xiao Wuchang's sincere and passionate love made him regard the little black cat and the sister he picked up as important family members, like the winter sun, melting away little by little the heart of Wuchang's sister.

However, with two more mouths to feed, the little black cat didn't eat much, but the family's supplies were running out—the supplies that were planned to last the three of them until the end of the period of natural disasters and man-made turmoil were no longer enough.

To make a living, the unpredictable parents had to go out to find and exchange goods to ensure the family's survival.

In an accident, Little Impermanence's parents went out to find supplies and never returned.

According to the neighbors, after the supplies were found, they were discovered by some thugs who stabbed them to death in an attempt to seize them, and even their bodies were...

Little Impermanence and her sister were so heartbroken that they almost lost the will to live.

In the end, it was Xiao Wuchang's older sister who took the lead, took the initiative to support the family, and encouraged Xiao Wuchang to live on.

Fortunately, with the passing of Xiao Wuchang's parents, there are two fewer mouths to feed in the family. The remaining supplies and the supplies that Xiao Wuchang's parents have found in the past few days should be enough for the two surviving people and their cat to get through this disaster.

Xiao Wuchang and her sister no longer need to go out to find supplies, which significantly increases their safety.

But misfortune struck – the gang warfare outside, coupled with the influence of conflicting bloodlines and the Lion's Curse, escalated from the outset and became uncontrollable…

Many factions, in order to increase their own power, force ordinary people to join their gangs and hand over resources; those who disobey are killed.

That's what the higher-ups ordered, but how the thugs below actually did it is another matter entirely.

Until one day, the fire finally reached the home of the Impermanent One.

Several vicious men, armed with bloodstained knives, forced their way into Xiao Wuchang's house, intending to rob him of supplies and people.

After discovering that the mansion housed two beautiful girls who were completely defenseless, he was filled with wicked thoughts.

At this moment, Little Impermanence's older sister stepped forward! She launched a frenzied attack on the group without regard for the consequences.

The little black cat also risked its life to desperately attack those bad guys, and only by getting injured could it barely drive them away.

Little Impermanence's sister knew that things would not end there, so she made a quick decision. She took some food, fabricated some traces of their escape, and hid with Little Impermanence in the hidden cellar of their house.

Sure enough, a day passed, and Little Impermanence's sister tentatively came out of the cellar to look around, only to find that the whole house had been ransacked—those villains had indeed come again—and they might have even returned as soon as they entered the cellar.

The unpredictable older sister was secretly relieved, but also filled with worry—they had been hiding in such a hurry that the food they had taken was only enough to last for a day or two.

Left with no other choice, the unpredictable older sister had to go out into the streets to find supplies for survival.

Each time she returned to the cellar, the wounds on Wuchang's sister's body would become even more numerous.

In the fight during the intrusion, the little black cat was almost fatally injured, unable to eat anything, and its breathing became increasingly weak.

The same was true for her sister, who suffered from numerous injuries that went untreated. Her body grew weaker day by day, and within a few days, she was plagued by both injuries and illnesses, becoming delirious and only able to stay awake for a short time each day.

Wuchang realized that at this moment, it was her turn to step forward!

Wuchang resolutely went out alone to find medical supplies in an attempt to return home and save her sister. Wuchang's sister, whose condition was extremely poor, was powerless to stop her and could only make an appointment with her to wait for her to return under the ginkgo tree above the cellar.

But Xiao Wuchang's luck was really bad! She hadn't gone far from home, carefully avoiding man-made disasters, when she was swallowed up by a raging flood.

A massive flood swept away Xiao Wuchang to who knows where, and countless gangs fighting in the streets also suffered heavy casualties because of the flood, which brought the man-made disaster to a slight end.

However, another flood worsened the overall situation in the Lion District. The major powers in power in the Lion District finally decided to stand up, unite to fight the disaster, suppress those unruly gangs, and pay a considerable amount of their profits to urgently request assistance from other districts and the Dragon Suppression Division.

Within a few days, the disaster in the Lion District subsided.

The impermanent sister and the little black cat waited anxiously for the medical supplies brought by the impermanent spirit, until they collapsed just before dawn...

What about the little impermanence?

She should have died.

At the brink of life and death, the obsession with "going home (No. 11, Yuchang Street, Fanyu Town) to save my sister" kept echoing in her mind. Her unwilling soul resonated with the curse power from an unknown source, awakening the unconscious Little Impermanence into Long Yin, and transforming him into the state of being neither dead nor alive he is now.

After Xiao Wuchang became the Dragon's offspring, the power of the Dragon Curse protected her body from decay. However, her near-death state prevented her from regaining consciousness, and she was trapped at the bottom of a body of water.

Obsession constantly struggles against death, and Xiao Wuchang's consciousness tries countless times to break free from the state suppressed by the rules of life and death. Unconsciously, Xiao Wuchang's soul learns to control the power of incantations and experiences the rules of the River of Oblivion in countless struggles, honing the power of the Dragon Curse.

A full hundred years passed before she finally surfaced from the water, her skin pale and white, looking like a dead person.

She touched her chest blankly—there was no heartbeat.

She sat unconsciously on the water, her memories of her past life gradually fading over the past century.

Only one voice remained, stubbornly echoing in my mind—

“Go back... Fanyu Town... Fishing Street... No. 11.”

..........

Then, she was found by a ferryman who was amazed by her beauty and pulled her into the ferryman's organization. He taught her the ferryman's philosophy and the most basic life skills, making Xiao Wuchang a ferryman with the goal of ferrying herself, and she embarked on a journey to find and sever the chains of her own obsession.

This is the background of Xiao Wuchang.
