Chapter 187: Chapter 184: Your Whole Family Are Pig Demons
"When will Liu Hui wake up?" Mo Qi asked.
The Pig Emperor snorted. "Who knows? Just wait. He’ll wake up when he’s supposed to."
The Pig Emperor’s attitude was curt. After speaking, it burrowed straight back into Mo Qi’s arms.
Mo Qi smiled faintly. He knew exactly why the Pig Emperor was upset.
The Silver-backed Earth Dragon had been roasted whole and pan-fried as steaks. Everyone had eaten their fill, but the Pig Emperor, the biggest glutton of all, couldn’t take a single bite.
It was only then that Mo Qi learned there were two types of food the Pig Emperor wouldn’t eat: Demon Beasts with the blood of the Dragon Race, and pork.
Mo Qi guessed it was probably because they shared a common ancestry, so the Pig Emperor couldn’t bring itself to eat them.
Smelling the aroma and only being able to watch others eat while getting none for itself was undoubtedly the greatest torture for the Pig Emperor.
’Who was to blame? The chef, Mo Qi, of course!’
’Who told him to make the Earth Dragon Meat so fragrant? Hmph!’
’I worked so hard to sense the Dragon Vein’s location for you, but what did you do? The moment that Wu the Old Ghost showed up, you forgot all about me.’
’You dared to cook Earth Dragon Meat in front of me today. Does that mean you’ll dare to eat pork in front of me in the future?’
’I absolutely cannot spoil you!’
’I’m not speaking to you for four and a half days!’
As for why four and a half days, it was because the Pig Emperor’s food stash would only last that long.
Seeing the Pig Emperor’s proud and petulant expression, the corners of Mo Qi’s mouth turned up.
"I just remembered, before leaving the Void Sect, Brother Ni and the others prepared nearly a hundred Demon Beasts for me. They said they were all plump, high-quality breeds. I was just thinking, with so many Demon Beasts, how long would it take for me to eat them all by myself? Ah, what a dilemma!"
The moment his voice fell, the Pig Emperor reappeared on Mo Qi’s shoulder with a SWOOSH.
’Not speaking to him?’
’What’s that?’
’I’ve never even heard of such a thing!’
"Mo the kid, I think we shouldn’t delay any longer. We should set off for the Dragon Vein Core as soon as possible. Let’s go, let’s go! I will clear the way and ensure your safety!" the Pig Emperor said with a straight face.
Mo Qi chuckled, ignoring the "fired-up" Pig Emperor.
He first helped up Jin Sanpang, who had been stuck in the ground. He wasn’t seriously injured, just wedged in by his own fat.
Then he went to Liu Hui’s side and checked his condition, finding that it was indeed a blessing in disguise, just as the Pig Emperor had said.
Having undergone the infusion of Dragon Energy, as long as he finished absorbing the Earth Dragon’s Bloodline Essence, his Dragon Transformation Divine Technique would reach a new level.
"How is Brother Hui?" Nangong Yan asked worriedly.
"Don’t worry," Mo Qi comforted her. "He’s fine. Not just fine, he’s doing great."
Qian Duoduo and the others, however, were staring blankly at the Pig Emperor.
They had assumed the Pig Emperor was just a pet pig Mo Qi was raising for meat, but they never expected it to suddenly start talking!
And with a single word—"Disperse"—it had scattered all the Dragon Energy within a ten-li radius.
’What terrifying power was this?’
Wu the Old Ghost was no longer surprised by this. The shocks Mo Qi had given him came one after another, and he was almost numb to them.
First Jin Sanpang, then Liu Hui, and now a little pig!
Wu the Old Ghost suddenly felt that even if Mo Qi really did ring the Dragon Vein Imperial Bell, it wouldn’t seem like such a big deal. It was completely acceptable!
"My dear brother, what kind of precious Pig Demon is this?" Qian Duoduo asked, unable to contain his curiosity.
He was already calculating in his mind. ’Once I get out of this place, I’ll definitely make my old man get one for me.’
Before Mo Qi could answer, the Pig Emperor flew into a rage and roared, "You’re the Pig Demon! Your whole family are Pig Demons! Believe it or not, with a single glare, I can make you pass out from pleasure!"
Qian Duoduo was startled by the Pig Emperor’s grating voice and subconsciously shrank his neck.
’What the hell is the world coming to? I, a young master, just got cussed out and intimidated by a pig!’
Mo Qi quickly grabbed the Pig Emperor, who was about to go berserk. If it accidentally stared Qian Duoduo and got him pregnant, that would be a huge mess.
"You all wait here. I’m going alone to see this so-called Dragon Vein Imperial Bell."
Mo Qi put away the Token. He didn’t know what method the Pig Emperor had used, but the area within a ten-li radius had become a safe zone.
"My dear brother, I’ll go with you!" Qian Duoduo volunteered bravely.
"A half-dead little brat like you should stay out of it. If the Soul-Draining Mother Spider gets out, you’ll probably kick the bucket halfway there." The Pig Emperor glanced at Qian Duoduo without a shred of politeness. It held a grudge.
Startled by this, Qian Duoduo discreetly hid behind Zhu Fan, clutching his stomach. "Ouch, my stomach hurts."
Mo Qi was dumbfounded. He quickly looked at the Pig Emperor, his eyes asking: ’Did you just glare at him?’
The Pig Emperor shook its head, looking completely baffled. ’No, I didn’t.’
Just then, Qian Duoduo continued, "My dear brother, your little brother here was determined to go with you no matter what, but this abdominal pain is unbearable. It must be an old injury acting up. I can’t, I just can’t. I need to rest."
"You go on ahead without worry! Your little brother will be here at the rear, waving flags and cheering you on!"
Everyone: "..."
"San Pang, don’t worry. Brother Mo will definitely ring the Dragon Vein Imperial Bell and save your father. You wait here obediently and watch over Liu Hui, understand?" Mo Qi said, patting Jin Sanpang’s large belly.
Jin Sanpang nodded seriously. "San Pang understands."
Mo Qi then cupped his fists toward Wu the Old Ghost. "Brother Wu, I’ll have to trouble you to look after them."
Wu the Old Ghost smiled. "It’s no trouble at all."
Afterward, Mo Qi took his External Incarnation and the Pig Emperor and set off toward the Dragon Vein Core.
With the double protection of the Token and the Pig Emperor, the Dragon Energy was practically nonexistent to him.
After traveling a hundred li for two hours, Mo Qi arrived at the foot of the Dragon Vein Core.
The color of the surrounding Dragon Energy had actually faded quite a bit, but the Dragon Might had intensified by more than just a little.
Mo Qi suspected that if he hadn’t been protected by the Token and the Pig Emperor, he would have long since been obliterated by this Dragon Might.
The Dragon Vein Core was a mountain so tall its peak was out of sight. Behind it was a continuous mountain range that snaked and twisted into the distance, with no end in sight.
Mo Qi studied the Dragon Vein Core before him. The more he looked at it, the more it resembled the head of a giant dragon.
The External Incarnation carried him into the sky, where he looked down upon the land.
Mo Qi was stunned by the sight before him.
This wasn’t a mountain and a mountain range at all—it was clearly a Divine Dragon coiled upon the earth!
It was just that this Divine Dragon had perished many years ago. Its bones had merged with the earth, turning into rock and mountain.
"Something’s not right. How could a dragon of this caliber have fallen in the Mountain and Sea Empire?" the Pig Emperor said with a puzzled frown.
"What do you mean?" Mo Qi asked.
"It’s simple. If this dragon were still alive, it could shatter the Mountain and Sea Empire’s Imperial City with a single slap. As for Void Realm and Void Realm cultivators, it could wipe out tens of millions with a casual breath of dragon fire. The Mountain and Sea Empire couldn’t possibly have had the power to slay it here."
Mo Qi thought for a moment and guessed, "Maybe the founding ancestor of the Mountain and Sea Empire was extremely powerful."
"Impossible!" the Pig Emperor said, shaking its head. "If he had that kind of power, why would he establish a kingdom in such a trashy region!"
"Come on, let’s go down and take a look!" The Pig Emperor’s expression was grave as it pulled Mo Qi down onto the dragon’s head.
