Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 4 The Four Evil Men

Yun Yi looked towards the courtyard and saw four figures looking back at him. Their eyes were like torches, and their appearances were strange, making them obvious cultivators.

One was as fat as a ball, holding a pig's trotter in his hand and eating it with relish; one was as strong as an iron tower, and was pouring wine into his mouth continuously; one was a beauty, but she was so delicate that she looked like she could be blown down by a breeze; one had shifty eyes, was tall and thin, and was playing with a few dice in his hand.

Song Xinci said coldly, "Eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, you were the first to find this place."

The charming woman among the four smiled and said, "We put in a lot of effort to find you. I visited every brothel within a hundred miles and searched the souls of those women. Only then did I find clues about Qiu Qinglian and learned that you were hiding here in an ugly disguise."

Song Xinci showed disgust on her face. What she hated most was this "prostitution".

Yun Yi, however, was just the opposite. He thought that the "prostitute" was the most interesting. She was obviously a woman, but she became the sex-hungry ghost among the "Four Evils".

However, there was no time to find out the other party's origins, because the four of them would die here in a few breaths.

Just a few insignificant passersby.

Piao then said, "How about you obey me today, and I'll let you die in a few days?"

Eat echoed: "When you are tired of playing with her, you can let me eat her."

He also said, "Excellent, excellent. You eat the meat and I drink the blood."

Yun Yi interrupted, "I bet you can't do it, how about it?"

Bet was shocked, "Why are you interrupting me?!"

Song Xinci was well aware of her current situation. After her mother's death, her bottleneck in the Return to Void Realm had finally loosened somewhat. However, her realm was unstable, and Yun Yi's words had further agitated her mind, so she simply couldn't muster her full strength to fight the enemy.

The four evil men are all masters in the Spirit Transformation Realm, so it would be a bit tricky if they were to fight each other.

What's more, there are probably people hiding in the dark, watching the show, waiting for the mantis to stalk the cicada while the oriole is behind.

Seeing this, Yun Yi secretly thought that Song Xinci was not in a good state. In her previous life, she had recovered her cultivation after Qiu Qinglian's death, but she had been deliberately hiding her abilities and showing weakness to the enemy.

But she had just been so angry that she vomited blood. Obviously, not only was her mood not perfect, but it became worse.

The more popular realm divisions in the world of immortal cultivation are "Qi Refining Realm", "Spirit Transformation Realm", "Return to Void Realm", "He Dao Realm", "Ascendence Realm", and the "Immortal Realm" after ascension.

These six realms are roughly divided into early, middle, late and peak stages.

The first four realms correspond to refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into harmony with the Dao.

Of course, this is just the most common realm division. For example, sword cultivators, martial arts cultivators, etc. all have their own set of statements, which are different from each other, but they all agree that the ultimate goal is to become immortals.

Song Xinci was originally in the late stage of the Return to Void Realm, just one step away from the He Dao. But now she only looks like she's at the Spiritual Transformation Realm, having failed to even recover her cultivation to the Return to Void Realm.

Those four evil guys had bad intentions. Since they could recognize that the ugly girl was Song Xinci, they must have known about her self-proclaimed cultivation level, otherwise they would not be so brazen.

Yun Yi wanted to help, so he deliberately spoke to distract the four villains: "I bet you don't know that the most delicious meat in the world is not human flesh, the best drink is not human blood, and the most beautiful woman is not Song Xinci."

"Eat" asked curiously: "What's the most delicious?"

He asked, "Is there anything more delicious than the blood of a cultivator?"

Piao said, "Boy, although I have never been interested in men, now I am a little interested in you."

"Bet" said angrily: "It's me who wants to bet with you, they must not know this!"

Yun Yi explained one by one: "Speaking of food and wine, have you two ever heard of a poem?

"Evening glow over the river, boats ply the water, nets dry on the shore. The family, young and old, free from worries, chatter and revel. New glutinous rice wine, fragrant orange and lotus sprouts, golden unicorn fish, purple crabs, and red shrimp. After drinking and serving, we compete to get drunk, and the moon rests on the reeds.

"Good food and wine are meant to be shared. Seeing others enjoying themselves makes them feel even more delicious." The two who were eating and drinking actually drooled at what they heard. "That seems to make sense."

"Besides, there is one woman who is the most beautiful in the world, and even fairies can hardly compare to her. She is:

"Graceful as a startled swan, graceful as a flying dragon, glorious as autumn chrysanthemums, flourishing like spring pines. Its wings are like the moon obscured by azure clouds, and its wings flutter like snowflakes blown by a gentle wind..."

Piao's face was full of longing: "How could there be such a woman in the world? If I could see her once, I would be willing to die."

At this time, "Bet" said something to spoil the mood: "I bet you're talking nonsense!"

Yun Yi raised his eyebrows slightly: "I almost forgot about this gentleman. I have a bet here. Do you dare to bet with me?"

"Bet" said: "Why are you afraid? Everyone knows that I like betting the most. Tell me what you want to bet on."

"My bet is, do you dare to bet my life with you? If you win, I will give you my life."

"This...let me think about it."

Yun Yi had a half-smile on his face, and he was not at all inferior to the four evil men. He clearly had no cultivation at all, but at this moment he seemed to be completely superior to the cultivators.

Song Xinci was also a little dazed when she saw Yun Yi like this. She only remembered that he had been beaten badly by a thug not long ago, but she didn't expect that he seemed to have a new mind and was now a different person.

"Bet" angrily said, "Your question is tricky. If I ask you if you dare to bet, you can just say you don't dare, and I lose. But if I say you don't dare, you can still be unreasonable and insist that you dare, and I still lose!"

Yun Yi smiled and said, "I promise not to mess around with you. If you bet that I dare not do it, I will die on the spot. In this way, although you lose, I will still die. How about it?"

"Your death is useless. What I want is to win!"

"Then just bet on whether I dare or not."

"What if you change your mind and say you don't dare?!"

The two exchanged sharp words for a long time. Yun Yi suddenly felt Song Xinci secretly glaring at him, and immediately understood what she meant and said, "Fool, since I have already made a bet with you, it means I dare to bet my life with you. This is not a bet at all, it's just a question."

"Du" was furious: "How dare you play tricks on me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Xinci, who had been secretly accumulating strength for a long time, attacked like lightning, hoping to kill the enemy with one blow and leave no one alive.

I saw a flash of silver light, like the flapping of a butterfly's wings, or like the fleeting beauty of a flower, coming and going silently without a trace.

Yun Yi didn't even see what the magic weapon looked like, not only Song Xinci's, but also those of the four evil men.

Because before they could even start to act, the eating, drinking, whoring and gambling had already been torn apart. The expressions of those who were eating and drinking were still intoxicated, the expressions of those who were whoring were full of longing, but the expressions of those who were gambling were full of reluctance.

After killing the four evil men, Song Xinci used a true fire to burn his mother's body into ashes, so that it would not fall into the hands of evil people and would not have peace even after death.

Yun Yi witnessed all this and asked, "Why don't you burn the ones outside as well?"

"They are too dirty to do it."

After saying that, Song Xinci pulled Yun Yi and rushed towards the nameless town. She could feel that a more terrifying existence was approaching here rapidly.

--------------

Note: The realm of cultivation comes from Taoist inner alchemy. The Qi Refining Realm = a martial arts master with great internal strength, the Spirit Transformation Realm = a cultivator who can use magic weapons and supernatural powers, the Return to Void Realm = returning to the original state and becoming invisible, and the Hedao Realm = the fusion of the great Dao and touching the power of rules.

In particular, the state of transformation into a god does not match the description of mortals. The author has considered changing the name, but the term "transformation into a god" is indeed the most appropriate.
