Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 137: Toying with the Yamen Bailiffs

According to research by the Pill Cauldron Peak, long-term consumption of meat baozi could lead to nutritional imbalances and impaired physical development. In order to improve the diet of the yamen bailiffs, the kind Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou decided that they had to do something for them.

In the morning, the diligent Shifu Lu and Shifu Meng decided to pack up all the meat baozi, which would force the bailiffs to consume vegetarian meals for nutritional balance while also encouraging them to exercise more, run frequently, and stay active.

The yamen bailiffs gladly accepted the two experts’ advice and expressed their resolve to follow the experts’ guidance and catch up with them as soon as possible to thank them in person.

These two experts were not all just talk. To prove the feasibility of their health theories, they set an example by personally taking the field to run.

The yamen bailiffs were extremely moved and also began to run and work out, persisting through the entire morning. They were in fervent agreement with the experts’ suggestions, helping to promote the two experts for free. Before long, the whole town could hear the yamen bailiffs hollering.

“Stop right there!”

“You two bastards, I guarantee I won’t beat you to death!”

“Why are you taking the meat baozi if you’re not eating them?”

The yamen bailiffs were livid, doggedly pursuing Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, who didn’t dare let the yamen bailiffs catch up with them. They instantly took to their heels, leaving the bailiffs behind them in a cloud of dust.

As they ran, Lu Yang remarked, “The rules really don’t lie! Look at how dangerous these yamen bailiffs are. They’re hot on our trail despite us not doing anything. We mustn’t let them catch us.”

Meng Jingzhou agreed wholeheartedly. “Exactly! Luckily, both of us are at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Had it been someone else, they would have been caught by now.”

The yamen bailiffs planned to take a shortcut to block them, but the two had long familiarized themselves with the town’s layout and evaded pursuit easily.

Just like that, the two led the yamen bailiffs on a chase from morning to night. When night fell, the bailiffs were panting heavily and light on their feet, clearly struggling to keep running.

As 9pm approached, the two returned to the inn, still carrying the meat baozi. The yamen bailiffs could only glower at them fiercely and reluctantly head back to the municipal office. According to the “Buyi Town’s Yamen Bailiff Rules,” they needed to stay in the municipal office between 9pm to 9am.

As for the other two, they found it a bit regretful. We’ve done many preparations in the inn. If only the yamen bailiffs entered the inn, we could have given them a surprise.

What a pity.

On the fifth day at 9am, the usually lazy yamen bailiffs arrived promptly at the restaurant. In the past, they would arrive a quarter of an hour late, waiting for the crowd to gather before suddenly appearing to scare the people. If they were lucky, they could even snap a few necks broken.

This time, for the sake of the meat baozi, they changed their habits.

After running for the whole of yesterday without eating a single meat baozi, their stomachs were already rumbling with hunger, so they rushed over. We gotta quickly eat as much as we can before those two immoral rascals mess around.

Halfway through their meal, they saw Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou coming out of the inn leisurely.

“How dare you still show your faces in front of us!” Recalling the events of the previous day, the yamen bailiffs were incensed, vowing to capture the two.

Lu Yang said unhurriedly, “I advise you not to chase us, else something terrible will happen.”

“Who are you trying to scare!” The leader of the bailiffs evidently didn’t believe Lu Yang. There are only twenty-one rules in Buyi Town. None of what he says will happen.

“Get them!”

Seeing their warning fall on deaf ears, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou sighed and turned to run.

After running for a bit, one of the bailiffs suddenly clutched his belly and rolled on the ground, his forehead breaking out in sweat. “My stomach hurts so much!”

As if it was a chain reaction, one by one, they doubled over in pain. Even the bailiff leader couldn’t endure it anymore and curled up on the ground, completely unable to stand.

“The meat baozi are poisoned...” The bailiff leader stared fixedly at Lu Yang, convinced that they were the culprits.

Lu Yang strolled over in a relaxed manner, “I’ve already told you not to chase us, but you wouldn’t listen. Look at how unlucky you are now!”

“How did you get the poison?!” The bailiff leader couldn’t figure it out. The apothecary owner couldn’t possibly have provided poison to this guy, so where on earth did he get it?

Lu Yang squatted down and patted the bailiff leader’s head, speaking amiably, “Remember, you shouldn’t engage in vigorous exercise after a meal; otherwise, it’s easy to get appendicitis. Read more books. Don’t think that everything is poison. We are from a righteous sect. How could we use poison?”

As one of the Five Great Immortal Sects, the Dao-Seeking Sect has always been upright in conduct and would never resort to something despicable like poisoning. At the very least, none of the living enemies have encountered the Dao-Seeking Sect using poison.

While some of the bailiffs writhed in pain on the ground, those who were fine stood fearfully, afraid to take action against Lu Yang. And thus, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou openly disappeared from the bailiffs’ sight.

What the two didn’t notice was the fear glimmering in the townsfolk's eyes as they watched from the side of the road. “It's fortunate that these two are following ordinary rules. If they were to wear black clothes and become yamen bailiffs, would we even have a chance to survive?”

“You can say that again. They even claim that they are from a righteous sect, but I suspect that they are diabolic spies who have infiltrated the righteous path!”

Nonetheless, the civilians of Buyi Town were relieved that Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were on their side; otherwise, they feared that they wouldn’t live past three days.

On the sixth day, the yamen bailiffs had learned their lesson. They grabbed the meat baozi first but didn’t eat them, blocking the entrance of the inn instead.

Having anticipated this, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou escaped through the window from the second floor.

“Chase them! Don’t let them escape!” The resentment built up over the last two days had reached a terrifying peak. Remembering their pain from yesterday, they wished they could tear the two into pieces.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had become more skilled in running from all the practice, and the yamen bailiffs didn’t notice that in their pursuit, they had arrived at the private school.

When the private school teacher saw Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, he gritted his teeth and beckoned to the people studying inside.

Perhaps these people could no longer be called “people.” They were covered in black hair from head to toe and had elongated mouths, while those in a more severe state lay flat on the ground, just one step away from becoming a black dog.

“Catch them!” the private school teacher ordered.

This enraged the yamen bailiffs. How dare you snatch our people!

The private school teacher also intended to look Lu Yang in the eyes, but the latter was prepared, whipping out a bronze mirror to shield his face. “You should look at your ugly appearance instead!”

In the mirror, the private school teacher saw his skinless face and bright red eyes, and he let loose a wail of anguish. Realizing that something was happening to his body, he hastily returned to the school and sealed his mouth shut.

Even without the private school teacher’s command, the black dogs continued to embroil themselves in a battle with the yamen bailiffs.

Amidst the chaos, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou pulled one of the bailiffs away and attempted to strip him of his clothes but found that it was impossible to get them off. As such, they could only settle for searching the bailiff for the “Buyi Town’s Yamen Bailiff Rules.”

Just like the waiter, the yamen bailiffs always carried the rules with them, lest they forget. With their desired item acquired, the two absconded.

As for the yamen bailiffs, the two decided to respect their wishes. Let them fight if they want to.
