Chapter 638: Chapter 638 Eat Everything
Cheng Lu looked at the item on the ground and wept with joy. He didn’t care what was on the Demon Egg as he knelt, picked it up, and cried until tears streamed down his face.
"Oh, my son, your father has finally found you! We were almost separated by life and death!"
The sight was too much to bear. Zhu Liang’s lips twitched as he silently used a corner of his robes to wipe the little golden egg before carefully placing it in his bag.
"Junior Brother, your little black pig is really something else! It swallowed two eggs without making a sound!"
Li Nian’er looked on with pride. Having a demonic pet that eats everything is truly impressive. How cool would that look? He is my junior brother, after all!
Ye Qingchen wished he could find a hole to stuff his demonic pet into. But then he remembered how it had been continuously absorbing Demonic Qi ever since they arrived, and his curiosity got the better of him.
"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, take a look at this little guy. Can you tell what its attribute is? What is it capable of?"
As he spoke, he picked up the little black pig, which was sprawled limply on the ground, its stomach completely topsy-turvy. After vomiting the two Demon Eggs, its body shrank back to the size of a palm, looking like a little toy in Ye Qingchen’s arms.
Its resentful red eyes stared intently at Ye Qingchen, but it could only lie limply across his arms, possessing no intimidating power whatsoever.
Meanwhile, the Demon Egg Cheng Lu held grew even colder, becoming like a chunk of ice that nearly froze him to death. The moment he felt the chill, Cheng Lu quickly let go. Enduring his frostbitten hand, he carefully placed the egg on the ground, his expression full of reluctance.
"Junior Brother, that little black pig of yours is too unfair! How could it swallow my egg when I wasn’t looking? This won’t do! You have to compensate me. Look at my son! Now it won’t even let me touch it!"
Cheng Lu pointed at the egg on the ground, his heart full of resentment. I finally had something fun, but now, thanks to my junior brother, I can’t even touch it.
Seeing his pathetic state, Li Nian’er wasn’t about to indulge him and immediately retorted.
"That’s not right. You’re the one who failed to look after your own Demon Egg, so how can you blame our Junior Brother? Besides, this little black pig doesn’t look very intimidating. It probably just thought the Demon Eggs were interesting toys and wanted to see what swallowing them was like. Why make such a fuss..."
Before Li Nian’er could finish, the little black pig, which had been languishing in Ye Qingchen’s arms, suddenly leaped up. Even though Ye Qingchen tried with all his might to hold it, he never expected its hind legs to be so powerful. With a single kick, it shot far into the distance.
The little black pig’s mouth opened impossibly wide as it lunged, aiming to bite the crook of Li Nian’er’s arm.
Everyone was dumbfounded, but Li Nian’er reacted in a flash, instantly channeling the water-type Attribute Energy in her body to form a defense.
The Heaven-Devouring Azure Python on her wrist, which had been as still as a lifeless object moments before, was now panicking frantically. In an instant, it unwrapped itself from her wrist and fled in terror!
The little black pig, which had been attacking her defense, now floated in mid-air with its eyes shining brightly. It gave chase to the Heaven-Devouring Azure Python, its little pink mouth snapping open and shut, coming dangerously close to swallowing the python with every bite.
Seeing this, Cheng Lu was absolutely delighted. Just a moment ago, she was laughing at me. Now it’s her turn! He quickly pocketed his own Demon Egg, clutching it tightly.
Zhu Liang also realized what was happening. His hand instinctively tightened over his pocket, terrified that the Demon Egg he had just recovered would become a snack for his Junior Brother’s demonic pet.
Xiao Xiao watched the entire process from the side, unable to help but hug her little gray mouse tightly. There’s a good chance this little guy is the reason my own demonic pet and my Senior Sister’s were acting so strangely earlier!
Li Nian’er had just been mocking Cheng Lu, only to become the butt of the joke herself. Her sharp eyes snapped up to stare straight at Ye Qingchen, her gaze a cold warning.
"Junior Brother, control your demonic pet. Not everything is edible. Otherwise, it’ll only give itself a stomachache!"
As she spoke, she subtly reached for the sword at her waist.
Alarm bells screamed in Ye Qingchen’s mind. He leaped up and desperately chased after his little black pig. Despite its struggles, he managed to snatch it up and hold it firmly in his arms. The little black pig’s stomach grumbled as it gazed reproachfully at its master, as if to say, Why won’t you let me eat?
Ye Qingchen gently patted its head to soothe it, his own heart quivering as he complained internally. Eat what?! If you keep eating recklessly, Senior Sister’s sword will eat you!
The little black pig seemed to sense Ye Qingchen’s emotions. Gripped by fear, it glanced lingeringly at the Heaven-Devouring Azure Python hiding on Li Nian’er’s hand and gulped. Li Nian’er felt its gaze and shot it a glare filled with warning.
Feeling utterly helpless, it silently retracted its head and curled up pitifully in Ye Qingchen’s arms.
"Is it hungry?"
Xiao Xiao looked at her young master’s demonic pet, finding it more and more adorable the longer she looked. She couldn’t bear the thought of it being hungry. The moment the little black pig heard that, its spirits instantly lifted, and it propped its head up to stare eagerly at the little gray mouse in Xiao Xiao’s arms.
Seeing its excitement, Xiao Xiao awkwardly hugged the shivering little gray mouse in her arms even tighter.
"I didn’t mean for you to eat it..."
The little black pig instantly deflated like a balloon, lying back down limply with the light gone from its eyes.
Having witnessed the entire hatching process of her young master’s demonic pet, Xiao Xiao made a connection. "If I remember correctly, Little Black hatched in that pond," she suggested. "There should be food it needs in there. Why don’t we put it back in and see what happens?"
Hearing this, Ye Qingchen’s eyes lit up. Without heeding the little black pig’s protests, he placed it by the edge of the pond.
The aura within the pond was a chaotic mix, one moment filled with Demonic Qi, the next with the natural energy of the world.
The little black pig seemed to understand his intention, but it still turned its head away unwillingly. However, when it met Li Nian’er’s warning gaze, it smacked its lips and reluctantly dipped its front hooves into the water. Its front hooves must have sensed something, because its eyes instantly brightened. It flipped its body over and, with a PLOP, fell right into the pond.
Surprisingly, the onlookers on the shore didn’t panic and simply watched calmly. They all figured that since the little guy had just come out of the water, there was no way it could drown. With this in mind, everyone fixed their gaze on the pond, not wanting to miss a single detail.
Ye Qingchen activated his Double Pupils to observe the situation inside the pond. He watched as the little black pig took a sharp dive, heading straight for the bottom! Before he could process what was happening, he saw the little black pig paddle furiously toward the source at the bottom. With great difficulty, it positioned itself in a corner at the very edge, and as if it had found something, its short little legs began to dig and dig.
Ye Qingchen looked closely. But there’s nothing in that corner! It’s completely empty!
