A bizarre resurgence begins with a pact made by a weasel.

Mother's skin!?

How is this possible?!

Xie Qing withdrew his fingertips as swiftly as lightning. He rubbed his fingers together as if to wipe away any grime, then looked down at the old butler and said:

"Du Shenggge, no, Mother should have died long ago, how did you recognize her?"

The old steward stared intently at the elephant's feet and said:

"It's the instep!!"

"Sixth Madam has twelve red moles on the instep of her foot."

"I will never admit my mistake."

As he spoke, the old butler's face gradually calmed down from its distorted expression, but Xie Qing could tell that he had become completely obsessed. The madness had not disappeared, but it had been hidden in his eyes and buried deeper.

"It's probably influenced by the Three Phases Diagram, which can confuse the mind, diminish rationality, and unearth the deepest desires."

'This guy really does have feelings for the original owner's mother.'

The next second, the panel displayed a strange and blurry scene.

The red-nosed white elephant god in the scroll smiled and poked out his red trunk, gently slipping into the old steward's bosom.

Glug glug!

Glug glug!

Amidst the sizzling sound, clumps of pinkish-white light were continuously extracted—the old butler's desires and vital energy!

This is the artifact's inherent [Appetite E-], and [Sperm Absorption E-] is in effect!

If this continues, the old butler probably won't live much longer.

But he seemed oblivious, continuing his incessant chatter:

"The master once said that the fifth wife had an extraordinary background, with a red birthmark like a star, and was of inestimable nobility."

"They say a fallen phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken. Luckily, it fell into the mud, otherwise it wouldn't have been its turn!!"

"This is the lady's skin!!"

"I can't be wrong!!"

······

Xie Qing immediately thought of the opportunity hidden in the human skin.

It seems that the cheap mother indeed has quite a background.

He wanted to press for more information, but the old butler kept repeating the same few sentences. Seeing that his breath was getting weaker and weaker and the whites of his eyes were getting more and more visible, Xie Qing had no choice but to give up.

He took out the will from his pocket, and a line of text quietly appeared:

[Whether to use props: Xie Lan's Will]

Using this will will remove the seal on the Three Phases Diagram and activate the medium-sized dungeon, "Five Immortals Seize the Gods."

[The trap set by Xie Lan:]

My children, let them fight each other.

They carved bones for firewood, bled blood to render oil, skinned animals to make vessels, and used immortals as insects to forge a ladder to godhood!

Only the victor can have their wishes fulfilled!

[By combining the bodies of five people and the spirits of five immortals, one can summon the Triad Holy Grail]

The winner will receive a membership in the Tripartite Freemasonry Society and be included in the Register of Immortals and Gods.

This panel is the cheat code Xie Qing brought with him when he transmigrated.

It's called a cheat code, but it's actually just a game modifier from Earth, and its usefulness in this world is limited.

Firstly, it can integrate the information and causal relationships of this world and present them to Xie Qing in the form of panels and tasks, thereby providing some convenience.

Secondly, some extra rewards can be given after completing the task.

"use!"

call! !

The will burst into flames instantly.

The three gods in the painting looked over at the same time, and even the Red-Nosed Elephant God stopped his drawing. When Xie Qing saw this, he flicked his finger, and the will immediately turned into a ball of ghostly fire and entered the nose of the Red-Nosed White Elephant God.

The three gods' eerie faces simultaneously revealed expressions of enjoyment. Their six arms were bent and intertwined, forming the shape of three flower petals. Then, with a click, the wooden door behind them slowly opened, revealing a dark and gloomy space inside.

The Five Immortals' Struggle for Godhood is About to Begin

[Countdown: Seven Days]

[Please complete the prerequisite quests as soon as possible: Defeat the Yellow Immortal and establish a contract]

Xie Qing picked up the scroll that had fallen to the ground. At this moment, the old butler gradually regained his senses. He lay on the ground like a worm, his rapid, silent sobs echoing in the narrow corridor.

Xie Qing kicked his butt:

"You like my mother, don't you?"

The sobbing stopped abruptly. The old butler trembled as he raised his ashen face. The shock of his secret being revealed had barely taken hold when he was struck again by the next piece of news.

Xie Qing continued:

"No wonder your father wanted you to die here."

"There is a maze behind this door. Only the blood of a specific living person can be used as a guide to find the room where the Yellow Immortal is located."

The five offspring correspond to the five immortals, and the five servants need to sacrifice themselves to open the way. Xie Lan had made arrangements from the beginning.

He wanted the old steward to watch the skin of the man he admired die in pain and resentment.

"Young Master, I'm so sorry."

The successive blows left the old butler heartbroken and resigned to death.

Xie Qing looked at him and smiled:

"However, your father wants you dead, but I insist on keeping you alive."

"!!!"

"You can leave now."

"Young Master, what... what's going on?"

"Because I would rather not have this inheritance than do this heinous thing."

What compassionate words! The old butler couldn't help but look at the young man. His handsome face looked strangely eerie in the lamplight. His eyes, beneath his long eyelashes, were both bright and cold, the kind of eyes that seemed to be calculating the prey.

He instantly realized:

"The young master wants me to be bait to lure the other four young masters and ladies to this garden."

"Only by taking my life at this door can they obtain the inheritance behind it. They have no choice but to come, and I have no choice but to hide."

"And the young master can use this opportunity to launch an ambush..."

Xie Qing said calmly, "It seems you've thought it through. If you have, then let's go."

"Go back and make arrangements for Yan-ge'er's escape route. No matter what, you will eventually have to return to this door."

······

After the old butler left, Xie Qing stepped into the room.

【Ding】

【Task 01: Win over Huang Xian and establish a celestial pact】

[After fulfilling Huang Xian's request and establishing a contract, you will automatically be promoted to a Lawyer.]

The so-called Lawgiver is one who upholds the Three Realms, governs the gods, and rules over all living beings.

[Bonus Reward: Attribute - Lightness E]

Darkness instantly enveloped Xie Qing.

The feeling wasn't like entering a dark environment; it was more like having your seven orifices blocked with wet cotton, surrounded by the sound of water, making you dizzy and unable to distinguish things.

Fortunately, he has a system.

"map!"

The panel was projected directly into his mind.

On the pitch-black map, the green cursor represents oneself, while the yellow cursor represents the target. This maze can confuse others but not the system, which is why Xie Qing dared to let the old steward go.

Even without blood sacrifice, he can find a way out!

Following the map's directions, he soon arrived at a door. Xie Qing turned the handle...

Click!

As darkness receded, a very spacious room came into view.

Countless paper dolls hung down from the ceiling, varying in height and each about the size of a real person, draped in colorful feathers, some depicting sorrow and others joy.

Xie Qing pushed aside the paper figure in front of him and whispered:

"An immortal?"

Perhaps a draft blew in when the door was opened.

now,

All that responded to him were swaying, slender legs and pairs of brightly colored embroidered shoes.

The embroidered shoes were pointed and long, set into her pale calves, looking like pickaxes that could pierce Xie Qing's head at any moment.

He didn't move forward, but continued speaking:

"I came for the contract, the contract between Xie Lan and you."

"If a contract cannot be signed within seven days, then the other four immortals will be coming."

The voice just fell,

Click!

The door behind him suddenly slammed shut.

The moment Xie Qing turned around, all the paper figures suddenly moved. They stood up, their heads drooping, and stared fiercely at Xie Qing.

Seeing that Xie Qing remained unmoved, the paper figures spoke at the same time:

"Guess where I am?"

"Only if I guessed it are you qualified to meet me."

finished,

They burst into laughter.

They laughed so hard they trembled, their brightly colored feathers opening and closing. Just one glance made Xie Qing feel dizzy.

It felt as if the entire space was shaking, and there was no stable place to stand.

He tried closing his eyes.

suddenly,

whee!

A little girl's laughter rang out right behind the back of his head.

Xie Qing turned around abruptly, and a pale human face fell from above.

He forcefully pushed the other person away.

Another laugh flowed past his back and crashed into him as he turned around. Xie Qing staggered a few steps and almost fell, and then more and more laughter rose and fell.

The laughter was everywhere, near and far, left and right, completely disrupting Xie Qing's hearing.

even,

Some of the laughter was sharp, like needles piercing Xie Qing's head.

"This formation is even more troublesome than the one Xie Lan set up."

Xie Lan was merely confused; she did not set a trap.

The opponent, however, was using the resonance of the paper figures to disrupt or even attack the consciousness of those entering the formation.

Even with eyes closed,

The mind and body are still unconsciously affected by the sounds and movements around them.

Fortunately, he had a map.

The location of Huang Xian is clearly shown above.

Xie Qing took out a lighter from his pocket and pointed it forward.

Swish! !

As the firelight blazed, several paper figures in front of them were suddenly hoisted upwards.

"It seems even your aunt isn't well-off!"

"Why didn't you just cover these things with fire-resistant cloth?! Why did you have to use chicken feathers?!"

The paper figures screamed angrily, but dared not get any closer to harass them, which relieved Xie Qing.

"Sure enough, they're afraid of fire. They're piled up so tightly and densely that once ignited, they spread out extremely rapidly."

"They would never dare to perish with me."

Holding the lighter in his hand, he stumbled toward his target with his eyes closed.

As they got closer to the window, the paper figures' movements gradually became quieter until they disappeared completely.

Xie Qing suddenly opened her eyes.

A blonde girl was sitting on the windowsill.

She leaned her head against the windowsill, her figure slender, clad only in a loose white robe that barely covered her thighs. Her two long, slender, white legs were crossed, appearing as delicate as if sculpted from ivory in the moonlight behind her.

Her fair complexion made her look very innocent.

but,

However, he had a somewhat sleazy and uncouth demeanor.

Like a ghostly girl from a new world.

The girl shook her head.

Click!

After a few crisp cracking sounds from her neck, she asked suspiciously:

"Hey kid, how did you find me?"

She leaned forward slightly, her loose neckline falling down to reveal large expanses of smooth skin beneath, her azure-gold beastly eyes coldly fixed on Xie Qing:

"Furthermore, I did not smell any blood; you did not offer a blood sacrifice to your servants."

She had originally hoped to extract something useful from the paper figure, but she found nothing.

What a sneaky guy...

Xie Qing completely ignored the first question:

"He was the butler who watched me grow up, and I couldn't bring myself to lay a hand on him."

"I didn't realize you were so kind."

The girl's eyes widened.

Xie Qing initially thought it was mockery, until the girl happily swung her feet...

He then realized that the weasel was genuinely happy about it.

But soon,

The girl's mood was off again.

"I miss my grandpa too."

She ground her teeth.

"Xie Lan has trapped me for twenty whole years!!"

"I couldn't even be there for him in his final moments. The Xie family is a bunch of bastards!!"

"You're a complete waste of space too!!"

Amidst the roars, the paper figures surged forth once more.

this time,

They didn't laugh.

Even with the flames still burning, they continued to approach little by little, like moths drawn to a flame.

If looks could kill, Xie Qing would already be riddled with holes by now.

but,

"Wasn't this your own choice?"

"To sign a contract with Xie Lan in order to obtain the Triad Holy Grail and achieve the status of an immortal?"

The paper figures suddenly stopped.

The girl trembled all over, and the next moment she grabbed the nearby paper figure and hugged it to her chest, then burst into tears.

"You're right!"

"I've let Grandpa down!"

"I was greedy!"

Even though the paper figure struggled desperately, it softened under the soaking of tears.

The girl grabbed the piece of paper and smeared it haphazardly on her face.

'Her emotions are really unstable...'

And without any attempt to conceal it.

This weasel spirit possesses both the wildness and naturalness of a beast.

It's obvious that he hasn't been socialized and isn't the cunning type.

This is undoubtedly a good thing.

With a thought,

The girl's information was immediately displayed on the panel.

Name: Huang Jue

[Race: Yellow Immortal (Spirit Seed)]

[Faction: Linzhou - Heretical Path]

Job Rank: None

[Rank: E-]

[Special Skills: Paper-Making Technique E, Enchanting Breeze E-, Seal-Seeking E-]

[Attributes: Strength F+, Resilience E, Endurance F, Spirit E, Agility E]

[Secret Treasure: Heng and Ha Generals (Paper Dolls) E-]

[Note: This is a wild god from beyond the realm, who came to seize the Holy Grail and claim the throne.]

The F grade here refers to the standard for adult males.

Based on the information on the panel, this Yellow Immortal is probably capable of defeating a hundred men.

That is, not counting firepower.

"So, let's sign a contract."

Huang Jue gave the middle finger:

"You wish! You'll have to fulfill my demands first."

What do you want?

"I want to eat chicken."

"Winning chicken? That's easy."

"Hehe, I want to eat foreign chicken, not local chicken."

Having said that, he snapped his fingers before Xie Qing could speak.

A dim, yellow flame appeared out of thin air, and a figure emerged from it—a Western priest dressed in a black robe, with a plump, blood-red parrot perched on his shoulder.

"It's this chicken."

Huang Jue pointed at the parrot, his eyes gleaming with a faint blue light; he was practically drooling.

"It has the bloodline of the Western phoenix, I'm going to eat it!!"
