Chapter 423: Chapter 420: The Pig Emperor’s Painting (2)

’What the fuck is this?’

This was Huangfu Yu’s first reaction upon unrolling the scroll and seeing its contents.

A murky, unidentified black splotch, plus a highly irregular circle that could generously be called an oval.

Huangfu Yu was covered in question marks. ’This thing... it can’t be a painting, can it?’

’But what the hell is this supposed to be a painting of?’

’Even a child’s random scribbles would be better than this!’

Just as Huangfu Yu was staring at the scroll in utter confusion, the black splotch and the white oval in the painting suddenly overlapped.

Huh?

Huangfu Yu shuddered. He fixed his gaze on it again, but the black splotch was still just a black splotch, and the oval was still just an oval. It was as if nothing had happened.

’An illusion?’

’Impossible!’

At his current Realm, he would never experience a so-called illusion unless there was some external interference.

’Then... what was that external interference just now?’

Huangfu Yu was given no time to think. He suddenly felt something wrong with his body. The Vitality within him, as if guided by some unseen force, all began to converge toward his lower abdomen.

’What’s happening?!’

Huangfu Yu’s face paled in horror. He stumbled back in fright, and the scroll in his hand fluttered to the ground.

He mobilized his True Essence, Divine Sense, Secret Techniques, and every other method he could think of to stop the strange convergence of his Vitality, but it was all useless.

His Vitality was completely beyond his control, as if an invisible hand was orchestrating everything.

"You... What did you draw on that paper?" Huangfu Yu asked, his voice trembling with terror.

In less than ten seconds, he felt like something new had appeared in the region of his Dantian.

The Pig Emperor grinned from ear to ear, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and let out a sinister chuckle.

"You don’t get it, do you? What I, the Emperor, have drawn is the Yin Yang Primordial Qi Egg that separated from Chaos since the dawn of time!"

Uh...

Huangfu Yu was stunned. He didn’t understand any of the Pig Emperor’s long-winded description, except for the very last word: "Egg"!

’So... the splotch and the circle on the paper are two eggs?’

It wasn’t just Huangfu Yu who was dumbfounded; Mo Qi and the others at the side also wore blank expressions.

They all turned to look at the Pig Emperor in unison.

’All that flair with your brush strokes like a soaring dragon, that flourish like a phoenix dancing in the heavens... you spent a full half-minute on all that, just to draw an egg?!’

’Brilliant!’

’Outstanding!’

’You’re the goddamn best in the whole world!’

Just then, Huangfu Yu suddenly cried out in pain and clutched his lower abdomen.

Then, his stomach began to swell at an incredible rate, soon bursting through his clothes.

Mo Qi’s group was once again stunned.

’What a familiar scene!’

’Isn’t this the Pig Emperor’s first outlandish ability?’

’Doesn’t it require eye contact to be activated?’

’Why does a painting work now?’

"Hehe, I can now imbue that ability onto a scroll. How about it, Mo the kid? My control is pretty decent, right?"

Mo Qi: "..."

He felt that things were getting more and more interesting.

Because of Jin Sanpang’s casual remark, the Pig Emperor had opened the door to a whole new world.

Reciting poetry had turned into singing, and staring someone pregnant had upgraded to impregnating them with a painting. It was straying further and further down the path of tricking and tormenting people.

It was hard to imagine what kind of impact this "egg" painting would have if it were to circulate in the world.

"AAAAH! It hurts! What did you do to me?" At this moment, Huangfu Yu was drenched in sweat, his face ashen, with not a trace of color on his lips.

He staggered about, clutching his massive belly, his face a mask of pain and shock.

’What’s happening to me? I just looked at a painting, right? Why did it turn into this?’

Huangfu Yu couldn’t make sense of it at all. Soon, as waves of pain crashed over him, he lost even the ability to think.

Mo Qi and the others didn’t answer him. Instead, they stood around watching the show like a bunch of gossiping onlookers, laughing and chatting.

’That’s what you get for coming over to act tough. Still wanna show off now?’

"Yu’er, what’s wrong with you?"

Huangfu Yu’s master suddenly appeared. The matter was too important; he absolutely would not allow anything to happen to Huangfu Yu.

"Master, my stomach hurts so much!" Huangfu Yu managed to squeeze out the words before he could no longer stand, collapsing to the ground.

"That stomach of yours..."

After spreading his Divine Sense and observing Huangfu Yu’s condition...

Even though Huangfu Yu’s master was worldly and experienced, at this moment, he was completely dumbfounded.

He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He hurried forward, grabbed Huangfu Yu’s wrist to check his pulse, and with one probe—

CRACK!

Huangfu Yu’s master froze on the spot as if turned to stone.

’Holy shit, he’s actually fucking pregnant!’

Whether it was the external appearance, the findings from his Divine Sense, or the reading from the pulse, they all pointed to the same conclusion: Huangfu Yu was with child!

"Master, what’s happening to me?" Seeing his master’s expression, Huangfu Yu’s heart sank.

’Why is Master reacting like this? Am I beyond saving?’

After a long moment, Huangfu Yu’s master wore a strange expression, looking at Huangfu Yu as if he wanted to say something but couldn’t.

"Um... if I were to say you’re pregnant, would you believe me?"

Huangfu Yu: "..."

’Master, I’ve known you for so many years, and only now do I discover that you have a sense of humor.’

’Motherfucker!’

’If I hadn’t lost all my strength, and if you weren’t my master, believe me, I’d slap the shit out of you!’

’Pregnant?’

’I’m a man! A real man!’

’Is getting pregnant something a guy like me can even do?’

"Yu’er, although it is unbelievable, and even though I have seen it with my own eyes, I still find it hard to believe... but you are, indeed, with child!" Huangfu Yu’s master said with a grave expression.

Huangfu Yu felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his mind going completely blank.

Since his master had said it, it was clear he wasn’t lying.

’So... I... a grown man... am really... pregnant?!!!’

An overwhelming sense of humiliation washed over him. Huangfu Yu was about to lose his mind.

Right now, with the young talents from all one hundred Sub-Palaces of the West District gathered here, Huangfu Yu had clearly become the most dazzling star of them all.

In the face of a spectacle like a pregnant man, even the outstanding performance of Mo Qi and his group paled in comparison.

This was not something that could be hidden. People from other Sub-Palaces had already been drawn by the commotion and were looking over with curiosity.

"Hey, look, that guy’s stomach is getting huge!"

"Why does it look like he’s pregnant?"

"Tch, are you stupid? How can a man get pregnant?"

"That’s true, but he looks really weird. C’mon, let’s go take a look."

"Let’s go, let’s go!"

And so, a large crowd swarmed over, forming an aggressive circle of spectators.

Huangfu Yu felt like dying.

"Master, quick, save me!"

Huangfu Yu’s master was also helpless. He had already tried to alleviate Huangfu Yu’s suffering while probing him earlier.

However, after several attempts, he found himself powerless to do anything.

"Yu’er, how on earth did you manage this?"

Huangfu Yu was in so much pain he could barely breathe. He used all his remaining strength to point at the scroll on the ground.

Hmm?

With a thought from Huangfu Yu’s master, the scroll flew into his hand.

"Don’t—" Before Huangfu Yu could even get the word out, his master had already unrolled the scroll.

’It’s over!’
