Chapter 5: How About You Be My Dog?
Feng Shi was temporarily detained in an abandoned cave abode, guarded by two inner sect disciples. A restrictive barrier was also set up outside the cave to prevent entry and exit.
” The Demon Slaying Tower opens in ten days. Someone will come to take you there then.” The two disciples who escorted Feng Shi said this, holding him by the arms and throwing him into the damp cave.
Feng Shi walked obediently into the cave. Then, he heard the two talking behind his back:
“What bad luck. I heard he did that to Immortal Lord Yubai. Being thrown into the Demon Slaying Tower by the Sect Leader serves him right!”
“The Demon Slaying Tower is so dangerous; he won’t be able to come out, right?”
“At the very least, he’ll go mad!”
The two walked away, talking as if no one was there.
Seeing them leave, Feng Shi let out a sigh of relief. He passed through the passage covered in slimy green moss and entered the inner chamber.
Although this place was abandoned, it still retained a basic stone bed and stone table. Except for being a bit dirty, everything was usable.
The spiritual energy inside the cave was very thin; perhaps that was why the original owner abandoned it.
Feng Shi sighed and took the Qiankun bag off his waist, rummaging inside for usable items.
Fortunately, cultivators had no fixed abode and always carried luggage and clothes with them.
The original host was a disciple under Shen Songhe; his resources and treatment weren’t bad. He lacked neither pills nor spirit stones.
ăDetected that the Host has five thousand low-grade spirit stones, one thousand mid-grade spirit stones, fifty high-grade spirit stones, as well as several low-grade pills and two mid-grade pills. Friendly reminder: Spirit stones and pills can be exchanged for System points. If needed, please type 1~ă
Feng Shi was in the middle of cleaning the moss off the stone bed. Hearing this, he looked up. “There’s such a good thing?”
“What are the exchange rules?”
ăTen low-grade spirit stones equal 1 point. Two mid-grade spirit stones equal 1 point. One high-grade spirit stone equals 2 points. Pills are exchanged based on quality~ă
Feng Shi struggled for a moment but eventually exchanged some spirit stones and useless pills for some points.
ăExchanged two thousand low-grade spirit stones and several low-grade pills. Current accumulated total points: -4600~ă
“Phew~ Finally done tidying up.”
“Say no more, I need to sleep first.” Feng Shi lay down unceremoniously on the makeshift bed he had just cleaned and soon fell asleep.
He didn’t know how much time had passed.
The sky outside was already dark, and the light inside the cave was dim.
Feng Shi was tortured awake by pain in his body.
The familiar pain swept through his whole body. Feng Shi’s newly changed clothes were soon soaked with sweat again.
“Sh*t… System, your pill isn’t working!” Feng Shi gritted his teeth, rolling around on the stone bed.
ăHost…ă Qingqing seemed to want to say something but stopped.
“Hey! Who are you talking to?” A voice containing a smile suddenly came from the direction of the stone table. “What System? Tell me about it?”
Feng Shi was startled. He opened his eyes abruptly and looked up toward the voice. Then, he saw another person who had appeared in the cave at some unknown time.
This person wore black clothes, embroidered only at the collar and hem with exquisite red flowersâflowers blooming brilliantly, red as blood.
The manâs features were feminine, his raven-colored hair dragged on the ground, and he uninhibitedly exposed a large area of skin on his chest.
With just one glance, Feng Shi recognized this person.
ăDing dong, System unlocked new character: Name (Main Character): Pei Qi Identity: Demon Lord Level: Unknown (Host level lacks authority) Current Favorability: 10 Strategy Progress: 0% Expand for more info…ă
Pei Qi. One of the main characters in the original work, and a character whose popularity was second only to Shen Songhe and Xiao Yuhui.
He was also someone not to be messed withâa smiling tiger with twisted morals.
“I’m asking you, why aren’t you talking?” Pei Qi stood up, crouched in front of Feng Shi’s bed, and lifted Feng Shiâs chin with a finger.
You’re asking a damn rhetorical question!
Isn’t this all your doing?!
Seeing the mocking smile on the face hidden in the shadows, Feng Shi gritted his teeth: “It hurts…”
Pei Qi chuckled twice. “Hurts?”
“It’s right that it hurts. Who told you to be so useless? I gave you the chance, yet you were still this stupid.”
As soon as he spoke, Feng Shi felt the backlash become even more severe. He really wanted to curse this person, but he patiently said: “Demonic art… I can’t do it…”
Hearing this, Pei Qi laughed again. Then he stood up, wiped his fingers, and his smile vanished instantly as he looked down from above: “It’s just that you’re too useless.”
Feng Shi remained silent.
Although the other party said this, since the Demon Lord himself had come in person, he definitely didn’t just want to see how miserable Feng Shi was.
In the original work, Pei Qi helped the original host because he wanted to possess him to toy with Shen Songhe. The poor original host foolishly let himself be used as a gun.
In this world, the Demon Race and the cultivation world were equal in power, posing a great threat. Therefore, the Chongshan Sect had high-level arrays specifically targeting the Demon Race. Even for someone like Pei Qi, the Demon Lord, entering would take some effort.
That was why he thought of using the original host.
“Demon Lord… help me…” Feng Shi endured the pain, trying hard to replicate the reaction the original host would have.
Pei Qi seemed to be waiting for him to speak up. Hearing this, he hooked the corner of his lips, playfully spitting out two words slowly: “Beg me.”
“I beg you… I beg the Demon Lord…” Feng Shi opened his mouth without any baggage, tightly grabbing the hem of Pei Qiâs clothes and shaking it.
Only then was Pei Qi satisfied. He turned around, crouched down again, and locked eyes with Feng Shi: “If you want me to help you, it’s not impossible. But… I have a condition.”
Feng Shi was silent.
“How about you be my dog?” Pei Qi laughed, a trace of malice revealing itself between his brows. “As long as you agree to this Venerable One, this Venerable One will reluctantly…”
Feng Shi didn’t hesitate and cut in: “Deal!”
Now it was Pei Qi who was stunned, not expecting him to agree so easily.
Tsk, it seems the methods I prepared earlier won’t be needed.
“So I judged you wrongly.” Pei Qi was silent for a moment, looking at him with great interest. Then, he waved his large hand.
Almost at the same time, Feng Shi felt a warm and cool aura spread from the top of his head to his entire body. The pain in his body instantly alleviated and disappeared.
Once the pain completely vanished, Feng Shi collapsed limply on the bed, too tired to even open his eyes.
“I can suppress the backlash brought by the demonic art for you, but it is only suppression. From now on, it will flare up once every month.”
“Alright, this Venerable One will not stay here any longer. Here, take this token. Next time it flares up, you can naturally summon me over.”
A token was thrown onto Feng Shi. When he opened his eyes again, there was no one in the cave.
Feng Shi rested for a moment, then sat up straight to stretch his muscles and bones, muttering: “Clearly you could cure it completely, yet you still pretend. You just want to use me.”
The token in his hand was unique to the Demon Race. The black jade was crisscrossed with grooves, within which flowed dark red blood patterns.
Since it was a Demon Race item, to be safe, Feng Shi temporarily stored it in the System account so it wouldn’t be detected by others.
ăSystem Reminder: Diligent cultivation to improve one’s own ability, combined with specific medicinal ingredients, can completely get rid of the backlash~ Of course, you can also seek help from others.ă
ăAdditionally, Pei Qi favorability +5, currently 15. Host Total Points: -4570ă
“Even this can get me favorability?” Feng Shi had a strange expression.
ăYes~ As long as the Host works tirelessly, there is hope to reach the peak of life~ă Qingqing spun a circle in front of the panel: ăHowever, Qingqing must remind the Host again, you do not have OOC authority yet. Please continue to work hard to maintain the character setting!ă
Feng Shi clicked his tongue.
This point was also a headache. He didn’t have the original host’s memories, so maintaining the persona wasn’t easy; he could only make simple sketches based on the original work.
“Why weren’t the original host’s memories given to me?”
According to the trope, shouldn’t the memories arrive as soon as he transmigrated?
Qingqing spoke with a beaming smile: ăHost Big Shot, that is an additional price~ă
Feng Shi: “…”
