One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning

I learned about the water-suppressing mythical beast from the mistress of the Xu family.

She is gone, and I cannot avenge her; I can only do my best to protect you.

The Dong family is just the beginning. Back then, your Dong family joined forces with three other extraordinary families to exclude the Xu family and divide up everything belonging to the Xu family.

Now, the company's people have completely surrounded the Dong family's residence; not even a fly can get out of the entire Guanxian County. Dong Yuxin, think about it yourself: will those three families try to rescue the Dong family, or will they take the opportunity to swallow the Dong family up, just like you did with the Xu family back then?"

Originally, such memories were too heavy for Hu Jiu'er to bear. But it was Xu Yuyi who asked about them.

These things had to be told to him eventually, so Hu Jiu'er simply told him.

Dong Yuxin was unaware of what happened a hundred years ago, since he wasn't even born then. All he knew about were the four major families.

If it weren't for the task of unearthing the water-suppressing mythical beast beneath Tianfu Square, he wouldn't even know about the Xu family.

After all, the Xu family was in such a state of decline that it was impossible to find anyone.

Originally, Dong Yuxin didn't need to get involved in this matter, but he happened to be in Chengdu, which made things relatively convenient for him.

If he could turn back time, he might not have made the same choice.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs," and there's no going back.

Xu Yuyi thought about it more deeply.

So, your mother still has friends, and she entrusted them to take care of her?

Feeling a mix of emotions and unable to express his feelings, Xu Yuyi looked up at the head of the water-suppressing divine beast.

"Where is the original head of the Dong family's water-suppressing beast? Why did they replace it with the head of our Xu family's water-suppressing beast?"

Since Hu Jiu'er is her mother's friend, and her mother foresaw all of this, did she already know the truth?
Hearing Xu Yuyi ask Hu Jiu'er this question, Wang Ye, Daoist Qingfeng, and the others also waited for Hu Jiu'er's answer.

Wang Ye even looked at Shen Tongyu. Shen Tongyu came with Hu Jiu'er, so it's likely that Shen Tongyu already knew the truth before coming here, which is probably why Director Huang sent them here.

"You shouldn't ask me why the Dong family's water-suppressing beast has become like this; you should ask the head of the Dong family!"

Hu Jiu'er's gaze suddenly fixed in one direction, and she spoke with a cold smile.

The long sword that Wang Ye was carrying flew off his back and flew straight in the direction that Hu Jiu'er was looking.

With a "thud," came the sound of a longsword piercing into a body.

A figure fell awkwardly from that direction, a sword sticking out of his chest—Wang Ye's longsword.

"Master? What are you doing here? Weren't you already under the control of the company?"

Dong Yuxin was the first to come to her senses, looking at the head of the Dong family with a voice full of astonishment and confusion.

He was currently a paper figure, hopping and skipping on the ground, completely inconspicuous. However, the head of the Dong family recognized his voice, so he looked down at the paper figure on the ground.

With just one glance, he saw through the soul of Dong Yuxin, which was imprisoned inside the paper figure.

Normally, the head of the Dong family would have already freed Dong Yuxin from his restraints. But he had just been struck by Wang Ye's sword, and the sword was still embedded in his chest, leaving him temporarily unable to retaliate.

He kicked the paper figure away with a fierce kick, gritted his teeth, and glared at Hu Jiu'er and her group.

How did you find me here?

He hid it very well.

"After you appeared, the sleeping bodies of these Dong family members who have lost their souls showed subtle reactions."

Besides, I don't believe the real head of the Dong family would be taken down so easily.

"To you, the head of the Dong family, nothing and no one is more important than the water-suppressing divine beast you guard, is that right?"

Hu Jiu'er sneered. She hadn't actually noticed the head of the Dong family at first. But everything was too coincidental. The souls of those people in the Dong family had clearly been forcibly extracted. The only person in the entire Dong family capable of doing that was the head of the Dong family.

When Hu Jiu'er was explaining her identity to Xu Yuyi, she noticed that the bodies of those lying down moved slightly.

Actually, Hu Jiu'er wasn't the only one who discovered this. She just gave Shen Tongyu a wink, signaling her to keep quiet.

Otherwise, how could Wang Ye's longsword have happened so coincidentally to pierce the head of the Dong family? There was no tacit understanding between Hu Jiu'er and Wang Ye.

"The water-suppressing divine beast is closely linked to the fortune of the Dong family. As long as the water-suppressing divine beast is there, even if the Dong family declines temporarily, it will always have a day when it will rise again."

They sacrificed their souls to protect the water-suppressing divine beast. As the head of the family, I am deeply grieved. All I can do is bestow honor upon them after their deaths; they are the heroes of the Dong family!

As he spoke, the head of the Dong family gripped his longsword and yanked it out!
Blood gushed out, and the longsword slipped from his hand and flew back into Wang Ye's hand.

Even though blood was streaming down his chest, the head of the Dong family seemed completely oblivious and laughed wildly.

"Since this kid from the Xu family has delivered himself to my doorstep, how could I miss such good 'fertilizer'? For the head of the guardian beast to be completely fused with the body, it requires the bloodlines of the Xu and Dong families to donate blood, and even their souls to be sacrificed."

I was originally worried about not being able to find the last member of the Xu family. After all, I wouldn't have peace of mind until the water-suppressing divine beast was fully integrated.

Kid, you should be glad you fell into my hands. If you had fallen into the hands of the other three families, they wouldn't have been as merciful as me, giving you a chance to know the truth. They would have torn your bones and blood apart, forcibly extracted your soul, leaving you to watch all of this unfold, wishing you were dead!
I let you in so you could see with your own eyes that the water-suppressing beast guarding your Xu family has fallen to such a state. You should be content!

The Dong family patriarch looked at Xu Yuyi with extreme fervor.

He even had an urge to devour Xu Yuyi alive.

Hu Jiu'er stepped in front of Xu Yuyi, blocking the Dong family patriarch's view. "The people from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau are all here. What makes you think everything will go as you wish?"

"What is a company? As long as I bury you all here, to be buried with the water-suppressing beast, who will know where you went? You'll be nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead—that's the end you deserve!"

Now that things have come to this, why would the head of the Dong family care about these people from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau?

As long as they all die here, what can anyone do to him?
The water-suppressing mythical beast is still here, and that's enough.

"The head of the Dong family, you've really got a clever plan!"

Wu Xie couldn't help but applaud. The Dong family head who was captured by Commander Gao and his men outside was definitely an imposter. The real Dong family head had been here all along, waiting for them to walk right into his trap.

"You flatter me. I was just trying to protect the water-suppressing beast!"

The head of the Dong family smiled slightly, looking at Wu Xie and his group as if they were a group of dead people.

"Pah! You're really shameless. The Xu family's water-suppressing beast has already been purified, but the Dong family's water-suppressing beast has long been corrupted. Do you think a purified water-suppressing beast can be used on your corrupted one?"

"I advise you to take a good look at your water-suppressing divine beast first! Don't find out later that we're the only ones who can save you. We won't get involved in your Dong family's messy affairs!" Shen Tongyu stood with her arms crossed, looking at the water-suppressing divine beast.

Strangely enough, as soon as Shen Tongyu finished speaking, the water-suppressing divine beast standing in place suddenly changed.

On Shi Zhu's body, starting from the instep, black lines spread upwards.

Before long, black lines crawled all over the four thick legs of the water-suppressing divine beast.

"What...what's going on?"

The familiar black lines had become a nightmare for the head of the Dong family. How could everything he had painstakingly changed have started all over again in the blink of an eye?

"Tongyu, do you know why this water-suppressing divine beast has become like this?"

No sooner had Shen Tongyu finished speaking than the water-suppressing divine beast underwent such a drastic change. This not only shocked and devastated the Dong family patriarch, but also filled Ma Xiaoling and the others with doubt.

After all, Shen Tongyu's words were too coincidental.

Ma Xiaoling lowered her voice and whispered in Shen Tongyu's ear.

Although she spoke in a very low voice, everyone present could hear her clearly.

"Didn't I say that this polluted water-suppressing divine beast has not been purified at all? The Dong family wants to rely on the water-suppressing divine beast protected by the Xu family to restore it. How is that possible?"
As the guardian of the water-suppressing divine beast, the lineage has been passed down for so many years, and many secrets have been lost to time.

The heads of each family were only interested in making a show of things and were unwilling to make the necessary sacrifices for their families.

They may not want to acknowledge the debts they owe, but Heaven remembers them all; no one can escape them!

Although Shen Tongyu has not yet recovered some of his memories, as the current head of the Shen family, he still knows some of the secrets.

Regarding the water-suppressing mythical beast, she is capable of speculating on the cause and effect.

"So that's how it is! Now, what should we do with this water-suppressing beast?"

After hearing Shen Tongyu's explanation, Wu Xie and the others understood what had happened.

They didn't care what would happen to the Dong family, but the water-suppressing beast absolutely could not be allowed to have any problems, otherwise the people of Xichuan District would suffer.

The people of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau are responsible for guarding the feng shui of their region and ensuring peace in the world.

The water-suppressing mythical beast has malfunctioned, affecting the feng shui of the entire Jiangyan area. If this continues, the Xichuan region will inevitably face disaster once again.

The mishap involving the Xu family's water-suppressing beast was the work of the other four major extraordinary families in the area. Wu Xie and his companions originally thought that as long as they retrieved the Xu family's water-suppressing beast and released it back under Tianfu Square, Jiangyan's feng shui could be suppressed again, gradually returning to its original state, or even better than before.

But when they arrived at the Dong family's residence and saw the water-suppressing beast with their own eyes, they discovered that the water-suppressing beast had also encountered trouble.

Shen Tongyu and Hu Jiu'er arrived later, having been personally sent by Huang Miao. It's likely they were aware of the arrangements to come.

"Hehe, Patriarch Dong, what do you think we should do for your water-suppressing divine beast?"

The problem is clear; how to solve it depends on what choice the Dong family head makes.

"Hehe, the water-suppressing divine beast is in this state, and you seem to know why it has changed like this. So tell me, what should I do?"

The head of the Dong family revealed a self-deprecating smile.

He thought that as long as he replaced the head of the water-suppressing beast, removed the polluted parts, and integrated a new head, everything would return to normal.

Who would have thought that this was just the beginning?

"I want to take the head of the water-suppressing beast back with me!"

At this moment, Xu Yuyi had already stood up, supported by Hu Jiu'er. His expression was firm and his tone was serious. He would never compromise on this matter.

"You're dreaming! This belongs to the Dong family!"

Upon hearing Xu Yuyi's words, the Dong family head couldn't hold back any longer and shouted at him.

Once it's in the Dong family, everything belongs to the Dong family, and no one can take it away from the Dong family!
"Patriarch Dong, you need to understand this: the water-suppressing divine beast guarded by the Xu family is beyond your control. Don't even think about things that don't belong to you."

Who can't be tough?
Hu Jiu'er made a hand seal, and eight paper figures appeared out of thin air, floating down in front of her. The paper figure possessed by Dong Yuxin's soul also floated up and landed in front of the eight paper figures.

Centered on it, the paper figures, majestic and imposing, lined up in formation and, under Hu Jiu'er's control, flew onto the head of the water-suppressing divine beast.

Xu Yuyi bit his finger, forcing out a drop of blood. This drop of blood, following the scent, landed directly on the head of the water-suppressing divine beast.

In an instant, the eyes of the water-suppressing divine beast blazed with a bright red light, and even the red line on its neck faintly glowed with blood.

The water-suppressing divine beast opened its mouth and let out a roar.

With a "crack," the neck of the water-suppressing divine beast began to slowly turn.

The nine paper figures emitted beams of white light, which intertwined to form a large net that lifted up the heads that had detached from the body of the water-suppressing divine beast.

The light net carried the head of the Water-Suppressing Divine Beast to Xu Yuyi. Xu Yuyi reached out, and the head of the Water-Suppressing Divine Beast spun rapidly, shrinking continuously until it was the size of his palm. With a "smack," it landed in Xu Yuyi's hand.

After putting the head of the water-suppressing beast into his pocket, Xu Yuyi looked again at the headless water-suppressing beast belonging to the Dong family.

"You...you've gone too far!"

The head of the Dong family was going crazy. Right before his eyes, the head of the water-suppressing divine beast was taken away. This was a slap in the face to the Dong family.

He made hand seals and attacked Xu Yuyi frantically, wishing he could die together with Xu Yuyi.

Shen Tongyu made a move, and a white flower flew out of her hand, seemingly at a very slow speed towards the Dong family head. During its flight, the white flower constantly changed, one flower becoming two, two becoming four, four becoming eight, and by the time it reached the Dong family head, it had transformed into a wall of flowers.

All of the Dong family head's attacks landed on the flower wall.

The flower wall suddenly trembled, and he himself took two steps back.

The madness in his eyes faded away, and the head of the Dong family finally calmed down.

He is now all alone and is no match for these people.

After taking one last look at the headless water-suppressing beast, the Dong family head prepared to flee.

Before he could escape, the flower wall rushed up and completely enveloped him. From the outside, it no longer looked like a flower wall, but rather like a flower ball.

"We've recovered part of the Xu family's water-suppressing beast. Wu Xie, you, Daoist Qingfeng, and Wang Ye can go back to headquarters to report to Director Huang. Ma Xiaoling, Hu Jiu'er, and I will handle the rest here!" (End of Chapter)
