The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

Just at this moment, the scorpion, with its shell broken and injured but victorious, crawled in from the threshold, with the tail of the venomous snake still clamped in the pincers of its forelimbs, and dragged the long venomous snake in.

As if to seek credit, the scorpion tapped the ground with its other pincer, making a small sound to attract You Mu's attention.

Putting Yu Huai on the couch, You Mu leaned over and tapped the scorpion's head with his fingertips. Purple demonic energy instantly enveloped the scorpion and quickly repaired its injuries.

"Well done. This is given to you as a reward." After praising the scorpion's diligence, You Mu pointed at the unfortunate snake that was dragged in by the scorpion and left it for it as food.

"Da da"

After being praised and rewarded, the scorpion looked very excited. It knocked its fat pincers on the ground and shook its tail tip. It first turned around towards You Mu a few times, and then dragged the dead snake out again with great effort. It did not start to slowly eat the snake meat until it hid in a patch of grass.

You Mu, who was in the room, reached out and took away all of Yu Huai's tattered clothes, and briefly checked the other party's condition through the magic pill.

Unlike his previous life, this time Yu Huai changed to the path of magic in advance. He no longer had a broken body, and the poison of those poisonous insects could not have much effect on him.

However, in order to conceal his own cultivation level, Yu Huai seemed to have deliberately allowed the poison to spread. The purple lips and bite marks all over his body looked much more serious than the last time.

[Eh~ It hurts just looking at it. He can obviously resist, so why does he have to endure the bites and bites of these poisonous insects? ]

The skin and flesh that had been eaten and corroded by insects and ants had turned black and ulcerated. The original injuries on the limbs had not yet healed, and new wounds had been added. Just looking at them was shocking.

He is on guard against me

Taking a thin quilt to cover Yu Huai temporarily, You Mu turned around and walked to the wall of bottles and jars in the room where medicinal herbs and poisonous water were placed. He picked out a few porcelain bottles and took out some gauze.

[Aren't you asking for trouble? You won't harm him. If you wanted to, why did you save him before?] Tiandao was a little annoyed. They came to save Yu Huai, why are they working so hard but getting nothing in return?

Jiang Huai and Xiao Yu were not like this before!

Pour all the dry materials and venom from the bottles and jars into the mortar, mix and grind into a paste.

It was clearly a very ordinary job, but it looked exceptionally elegant in You Mu's hands.

While mixing the medicine, he answered Tiandao's questions.

[How can I not harm him? What I am doing now is something that will harm him. Isn't it normal for him to be on guard against me?]

[But, we are also trying to save him!] Tian Dao couldn’t understand.

It just didn't understand. Even though it had memories of the future, Yu Huai still wanted to make it suffer.

And doesn't he like villains the most? Why is he so afraid of them in this world?

When the time came for Heaven to fulfill its wish, Yu Huai's behavior made Heaven a little uncomfortable.

He doesn't know

[He is protecting himself, and there is nothing wrong with that]

While pounding the medicine, You Mu saw with his spiritual sense that the scorpion had eaten most of the poisonous snake guarding the yard. He then summoned two servants in the yard and ordered them to move the wooden barrel out of the room and throw it away, and then replace it with a new one.

Taking the time to speak to Tian Dao:

[Heavenly Dao, we are different from you. No one is born with the perspective of God. Even if you have the ability to predict the future, you still need to move forward carefully and think more in order to live safely.]

[Besides, I am the biggest threat to him right now. He cannot escape from me in any way, so hiding his strength is naturally the best option.]

[…Okay] Human emotions and thoughts are too complicated. The Heavenly Dao tried to understand them, but ultimately gave up because they were too convoluted.

As they were talking, the servant received the summons and stepped into the courtyard that he had been forbidden to enter before with trembling hands.

The two low-level demon cultivators were submissive and obeyed orders. Forced by Liao Qi's evil behavior of testing drugs on servants anytime and anywhere, they were afraid of causing dissatisfaction to the other party. They lowered their heads and dared not look at You Mu, nor did they dare to take a close look at the person lying on the couch. They worked together to move the half-person-high wooden barrel out.

After replacing the new wooden barrel, You Mu sat in front of the couch and called two servants over.

The two men were so frightened that they trembled like a sieve. They fell to their knees at You Mu's feet and cried for mercy, begging You Mu to spare their lives.

In fact, there were originally more than a dozen slaves who had sold their indentures in the front and back courtyards of Liao Qi's mansion. Unfortunately, after being killed by Liao Qi, only these two were left.

How could the two not be afraid when they saw that the number of servants working with them was decreasing?

But their lives were held by Liao Qi, and escaping would mean death, so they had no other choice.

"Here are your indentures and your wages for these years, take them and leave."

You Mu didn't say much. He threw two bags of silver and jade in front of the two men and told them to leave quickly.

The two servants were crying loudly, and were stunned for a moment by the sudden reward. Then, they could not hide their excitement, hurriedly put away the deeds and money, kowtowed and thanked, and fled out of the house in a hurry.

After sending away the two servants, the mansion finally became completely quiet.

According to the plot, he has to stay in Wangliang City for at least ten years under the name of Liao Qi and torture Yu Huai for ten years.

Although he was a bad man, he was not to the point of killing people for no reason. These two servants were of no use to him, so he just let them go.

--------A side note---------

[About Tiandao] (If you don’t like it, you can just ignore it! Just skip it!):

[First the world is created, and then the story line and framework are born. As the characters and events in the small world continue to enrich, the plot appears, and the Way of Heaven comes into being. However, it takes a long time for the Way of Heaven to go from rigid mechanical operation to the birth of consciousness.

The Heavenly Dao has just gained consciousness. It does not understand the complexity of the human heart, has not witnessed the various human natures and conflicts, and its initial thinking is still straightforward and black-and-white. Its behavior is in an absolute lawful stage. Because it is in a high position overlooking all living beings, it is inevitable that there is arrogance in its words and deeds.

It has all the shortcomings of those in high positions: willfulness, arrogance, and double standards. At first, it cares about the protagonist not as a person, but the part of the protagonist's identity that is related to itself and the stability of the original world.

So although it cares about the protagonist, it will ignore the details of the protagonist's problems (for example, in the first world, it was focused on punishing You Mu, which caused Jiang Huai to fall ill).

It initially hated the villain You Mu, not only because of the identity issue, but also because You Mu destroyed the stable order of the world, causing the protagonist to willingly give up his identity, touching and violating the rules and order that it followed first.

But the fact that Heaven can go against the law and punish the savior of the world is the beginning of it breaking away from stereotyped cognition and becoming an independent thinking individual.

After experiencing the adjustment of the two worlds, the concept of the Way of Heaven has changed, but it will take time for me to understand and experience it.

At this moment, in its understanding, You Mu came to save Yu Huai, so Yu Huai should trust You Mu without reservation. It did not understand the twists and turns of human thinking.

It requires a process of adjustment to understand and appreciate the difficulties of all living things, rather than sitting on a high platform as an idealist and watching from the sidelines.

PS: Tiandao's position was initially positioned as a neutral character. To You Mu, Tiandao was a punisher rather than an ally at the beginning.

At first, Tiandao didn't understand the protagonist's crazy behavior. As soon as it gained consciousness, it received the protagonist's rebellion and the big changes in the original world's plot. In anger and confusion, it took out all its resentment for being "forced to work overtime" on You Mu. So it was really mean to You Mu, and it deserved to be scolded by everyone, but without Tiandao, the story could not go on.

In fact, punishing the world is also a process for Tiandao to learn to love all living beings. It will slowly appreciate the richness of each character, rather than looking at things superficially according to the character settings.
