The siblings, Feng Zeyuan and Feng Zeyang, each rode a tiger.
As they approached the city gate of Qingxi County, to avoid causing panic, Feng Zeyuan exchanged two “Universal Disguise Talismans” from the system shop.
In a flash of spiritual light—
The two majestic striped tigers in the eyes of ordinary people instantly transformed into two oversized, well-fed orange cats with absurdly glossy fur.
The only problem was… these “orange cats” were still ridiculously huge, each as big as a young calf.
The system prompted:
【Host, the Magistrate’s household has had six consecutive children die young. The magistrate’s wife has been emotionally devastated and is currently inviting monks and Taoist priests to perform exorcism rituals.】
Feng Zeyuan’s eyes lit up.
When drowsiness brings you a pillow—this was exactly the opportunity she needed.
She immediately exchanged two sets of proper-looking Taoist robes.
Flowing azure garments with cloud patterns, wide sleeves fluttering—combined with the siblings’ ethereal appearances, they instantly radiated immortal-like aura.
With the system’s cheat abilities, they were even more convincing than real Taoist priests.
The siblings rode their “giant orange cats” leisurely into the city.
The strange sight instantly exploded across the entire street.
“Good heavens! What kind of cat is that? It looks like a mountain tiger!”
“Have you ever seen such a well-behaved tiger? That’s an orange cat… just a bit overfed.”
“My goodness, only imperial cat food could raise something like that!”
“Look at the people riding them! They must be immortal masters—otherwise how could they sit on such divine mounts?”
The crowd whispered in shock and reverence, instinctively making way.
Feng Zeyuan and Feng Zeyang headed straight to the county yamen.
The gate guards panicked at the sight, legs trembling, scrambling inside to report.
Soon, a woman in a simple but elegant silk dress hurried out.
She looked about forty, well-maintained and gentle in appearance, though dark circles under her eyes betrayed deep exhaustion.
【Host, this is Magistrate Yun Wanshu. Both she and the magistrate are honest people who have no idea their son is a monster.】
【Oh, that makes things easy then.】
【If they were all in on it, I’d be considering leveling the entire yamen.】
Feng Zeyuan nodded inwardly.
Yun Wanshu looked at the pair of “Taoist priests” riding giant cats in confusion.
Suddenly, two clear voices echoed in her mind.
She froze completely, scanning her surroundings—but the servants all looked normal.
When she looked back at the young Taoist siblings, her dim eyes suddenly lit up with shock and hope.
Immortals!
These were absolutely immortals who could read hearts!
She quickly bowed.
“May I ask which immortal masters have descended upon our humble residence? I apologize for not welcoming you properly!”
Feng Zeyuan calmly nodded, lightly leaping down from the “Big Orange.”
Feng Zeyang followed and performed a Taoist salute.
“Madam need not be so formal. We are wandering cultivators passing by. We sensed overwhelming resentment above your residence—an omen of premature death—so we came to investigate.”
Yun Wanshu’s eyes immediately reddened.
She treated them as honored guests and invited them into the main hall, serving the finest tea.
“To be honest… my household is indeed plagued by misfortune.”
She choked up as she explained: her daughter-in-law had married her son for seven years and had given birth to six children—yet every single one had died shortly after birth due to “accidents.”
Now, she was pregnant with the seventh child, and delivery was imminent. She was terrified.
“We have sought every famous doctor, prayed to every deity… nothing has worked. Please, immortal masters, save my unborn grandchild!”
She nearly knelt.
Feng Zeyuan raised her hand gently, a soft force stopping her.
“Madam, there is no need for this. But I do have one question—why has your son taken no concubines in all these seven years?”
Yun Wanshu sighed, a mix of relief and helplessness on her face.
“My child… is deeply devoted. He says he will only love his wife, never take a second woman.”
【What a devoted man, only loving one woman for life!】
Feng Zeyuan rolled her eyes internally.
【What devotion? That’s just a liar’s sweet talk. More like ‘ruining one woman for life.’】
The servants nearby shivered inexplicably at the sudden commentary.
At that moment, a maid announced: “Madam, the young madam has arrived.”
Everyone turned.
A frail woman entered slowly.
She wore a pale moon-white dress, her face delicate but deathly pale, supporting a slightly swollen belly as she walked carefully.
【Sigh… what a sin. Such a beautiful woman, how did that beast treat her like this?】
The system snorted:
【Because of a poisonous ‘white moonlight’ obsession in his heart. Everyone else is just a stepping stone.】
【She’s severely anxious too—seven pregnancies, six deaths… even iron couldn’t take this.】
The young woman sat down and soon heard Feng Zeyuan’s thoughts.
White moonlight?
Ruined by someone else?
Her brows furrowed slightly, a sense of unease rising.
Yun Wanshu quickly introduced them.
Feng Zeyuan pretended to calculate, then performed a small “miracle.”
A flame appeared in her palm—
She flicked it, and it turned into ice inside a teacup.
The room was instantly stunned.
“Divine powers!” they exclaimed.
Feng Zeyuan then declared solemnly:
“The issue… lies with your son.”
Her words struck like thunder.
“In plain terms—your son is incompatible with both wife and children. He brings misfortune upon them.”
“Put simply… he is a jinx to his own family.”
“Impossible!”
Both mother and daughter-in-law denied it immediately.
“My son is kind and respected!”
“He would never harm me…”
Feng Zeyuan clicked her tongue inwardly.
【Wow… this guy’s acting skills are terrifying. He’s fooled both his mother and wife completely.】
