Chapter 121: Divine Pig (3)
The old farmer's voice was low and hoarse, with an irresistible charm.
Lu Yuguan and Li Chonglin looked at each other and saw a hint of vigilance in each other's eyes.
None of them felt any spiritual power fluctuations from the old farmer.
"Could it be that this old guy has already reached the Golden Core stage?" Li Chonglin frowned.
"It shouldn't be that serious...right?" Lu Yuguan was surprised.
He and Li Chonglin are both powerful people in the Foundation Establishment Stage. If the other party was not a whole realm higher than them, they would not be unable to feel the fluctuation of spiritual power.
The old farmer's sunken eye sockets were bloodshot. He looked past the four people and said to the sacred pig in the house, "My dear, I've only been away for a while, and you're already so hungry..."
"Hmph!"
When the divine pig heard the old farmer's words, it turned over and squirmed again, making joyful sounds from its mouth.
"Good boy, good boy..."
The old farmer pouted and called the "divine pig" like he was coaxing a child.
Although the old farmer ignored everyone, Li Chonglin still did not dare to let his guard down.
"Demon, surrender, or don't blame us for being rude." Li Chonglin shouted in a deep voice.
The smelly cold wind blew in the courtyard again, making Lu Yuguan's stomach churn.
The old farmer stared at Lu Yuguan with dull eyes, grinning as he said, "This young man has such good looks, but it's a pity to use him as pig food..."
"I have a granddaughter, would you two like to get married?"
"Don't even think about it!——"
Before Lu Yuguan could respond, Li Chonglin stretched out his hand to protect Lu Yuguan and stepped forward to block him.
"Oh? You really love to show off..." The old farmer sneered, "Are you the prince from Kyoto?"
"Humph, so what?" Li Chonglin shouted.
The old farmer pretended to sigh and said, "Alas, what a pity, you are not qualified..."
"Brother Lu, what does he mean by this?"
Chen Xian approached Lu Yuguan and asked.
"You ask me, how should I know?" Lu Yuguan was speechless. "You can't say that Li Chonglin is ugly, right?"
"If it was the boy next to me, I would believe it too," the old farmer said with regret, "but unfortunately——"
"too ugly."
Lu Yuguan: ...
Chen Xian: ...
Li Chonglin:?
"Are you saying that this king is ugly?"
Li Chonglin's mouth twitched and his eyebrows were twisted into a knot.
Lu Yuguan pouted, but he was already laughing in his heart.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha!"
"Tong-chan, did you hear that?"
"Li Chonglin was called ugly by the villain!"
You're not much better.
The system couldn't bear to complain.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense like that," Lu Yuguan said angrily, "that old guy just said I was pretty—"
"My good boy likes to eat animals with good skin..." the old farmer laughed.
Lu Yuguan: ...
Do you still think you are good-looking?
"I have been honest, please let me go."
Li Chonglin couldn't help but say, "Don't change the subject. Tell me, where are the remaining people in Taocheng?"
The old farmer did not answer, but slowly took out a clay pot from his backpack and gently placed it on the ground.
"This is..." Li Chonglin frowned. He could feel that there seemed to be something sealed in the pottery jar.
"What's in the jar?" Lu Yuguan couldn't help but ask.
"The nobles from Kyoto really look down on things from our southern border," the old farmer said indifferently, "Didn't you ask me where everyone has gone?"
Li Chonglin's heart skipped a beat and he gripped the dragon-patterned sword in his hand even tighter.
"It's all here—"
The old farmer gently lifted the lid of the pottery jar, and a strong fishy smell came to their noses. The three of them involuntarily took a step back.
"This is……"
Lu Yuguan covered his nose and widened his eyes in disbelief.
A lot of wriggling maggots crawled out of the mouth of the pottery jar, bringing out the meat paste in the jar and making creepy chewing sounds.
"What...what does this mean?" Lu Yuguan's voice trembled.
The old farmer slowly stood up, a sly look in his eyes, "The officials really don't understand."
"Out of kindness, I've deliberately preserved their precious flesh," the old farmer said with a malicious grin. "This is their last ration until the divine pig is raised!"
"Beast!" Li Chonglin cursed angrily.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince really doesn't understand," the old farmer chuckled and shook his head, "The day the divine pig is fully developed will be the day thousands of people in Tao City will ascend to heaven."
"Stop talking nonsense and give me your life!"
"Look at the sword—"
Li Chonglin's dragon-patterned sword flashed a cold light in the night, pointing directly at the old farmer.
The old farmer was not afraid at all and threw the clay pot away with one arm.
"damn it!"
Li Chonglin was afraid of being contaminated by the filth in the jar, so he deflected the sword and used the sword to knock the jar back.
The old farmer looked disabled, but his body was extremely flexible. He easily took the clay pot in his hand with a sly smile on his face.
"Your Highness, do you really think you can hurt me with your limited skills?" the old farmer said contemptuously, "Don't forget, everyone, I am only the owner of the divine pig."
"If you want to stretch your muscles, let it exercise with you."
"Good boy, come out."
Oops!
Lu Yuguan turned his head quickly, and the house behind him began to shake. The panting sound of the divine pig in the house turned into a roar, and it rushed out of the door in just a breath.
"Boom——"
The door was smashed and several people dodged quickly. Chen Xian even hugged Zhang Xiu and jumped onto the side beam to prevent him from getting hurt.
"Chen...chen——"
Zhang Xiu was awakened by the strong feeling of weightlessness, and when he saw the full appearance of the divine pig, he was instantly frightened and fainted.
"Hold!"
"Master Zhang, please don't sleep. I can't hold you anymore!"
Chen Xian looked up to the sky and let out a long roar.
Lu Yuguan stared at the huge monster in front of him, and quietly produced a stinging thunder in his hand, ready to attack it at any time.
"It's useless... I've already seen your tricks at the city gate," the old farmer said, looking at him darkly. "My divine pig has thick skin and flesh, you can't break it..."
"Who said we should hit the pig?"
Lu Yuguan glared fiercely and threw the stinging thunder at the old farmer.
"Old thing, let me teach you a lesson about being struck by lightning!"
Facing the impending beam of lightning, the old farmer smiled but said nothing.
Hum!
Seeing that the old farmer was about to be hurt, the divine pig jumped its fat body and quickly stood in front of the old farmer.
zizi...
The stinging lightning struck the divine pig's skin, then turned into wisps of white smoke and dissipated into the air.
"What the hell, what kind of defense is this!?"
Lu Yuguan was stunned.
Li Chonglin and Chen Xian were also stunned.
"Even Yuguan's lightning strike can't cause any damage. How tough is this guy?" Li Chonglin gritted his teeth.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
"What happened?"
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
Several lights were lit outside the City Lord's Mansion. It was obvious that the soldiers heard the movement in the City Lord's Mansion and hurried to support.
The old farmer slowly said, "My dear child, it seems that new food has arrived..."
Hum!
The divine pig jumped up with joy, and the ground beneath its feet trembled.
"Don't come over, go back quickly!--" Li Chonglin shouted hysterically towards the door.
however.
It's too late.
