Venerable Demon Chef
Chapter 424 - 421: The Pig Emperor’s Painting (3)
’What is this?’
Just like Huangfu Yu, his master was completely baffled when he saw the black spots and circles in the painting.
The next second.
THUD!
The scroll fell to the ground again, and Huangfu Yu’s master’s face went pale with shock.
He was going through the same ordeal as Huangfu Yu; the Vitality in his body was rapidly converging on his Dantian.
"Stop!"
He let out a low shout and mobilized his Immortal Power, enveloping his Dantian in an attempt to temporarily sever its connection to the outside world.
However, it was all in vain.
Wisps of Vitality separated from every corner of his body, ignoring the blockade of Immortal Power and gathering above his Dantian.
Soon, his stomach began to swell at a visible rate.
It was exactly the same as what had happened to Huangfu Yu.
"Hahaha, now things are getting interesting!" Mo Qi burst out laughing.
’Huangfu Yu’s master was far too overconfident. He knew there was something wrong with the Pig Emperor’s painting, yet he still dared to look at it without taking any precautions.’
’Does he really think that after becoming an Immortal, he’s invincible in this Hall of Envoys?!’
In fact, that was exactly what Huangfu Yu’s master thought.
In his eyes, possessing an Immortal Body and protected by Immortal Power, he was invincible unless an expert of the same level attacked him!
No one below the level of an Immortal could possibly harm him.
Such was the confidence of an Immortal!
Unfortunately for him, today he had encountered the Pig Emperor, an oddity who didn’t play by the rules.
Its pregnancy spell ignored all differences in level and was one hundred percent effective!
Forget Huangfu Yu’s master; even if a Saint Ancestor from the Immortal Realm were to accidentally fall for it, they would likely be just as helpless.
Because he had used his Immortal Power, causing a significant fluctuation, Huangfu Yu’s master immediately became the center of attention for all the experts present.
They thought something major had happened, but who would have imagined that when they focused their gazes on him, what they saw was an old man with a large, pregnant-looking belly.
The experts: "..."
’Strange things happen every year, but today is especially full of them!’
"Mo Qi, you little brat, what trick did you play with that painting?" Huangfu Yu’s master asked in a low, grim voice.
Waves of intense pain emanated from his lower abdomen. He could already feel that something extra was inside him.
Although it was hard to believe, he knew his situation was now the same as Huangfu Yu’s.
In other words, he was also pregnant!
Mo Qi shrugged with an innocent expression and said, "Senior, you’re wronging this junior with such words. This junior did nothing at all. Besides, you were the one who picked up the painting to look at it, Senior. No one forced you."
’That actually makes sense. I’m speechless!’
Huangfu Yu’s master was rendered speechless.
By now, the crowd of onlookers had grown larger and larger.
The appearance of Huangfu Yu and his master was simply too peculiar!
The news that "a man is pregnant" spread like ink in water.
Upon hearing this, many people were even willing to postpone entering the Spirit Pool just to come and join the spectacle.
The world is vast and full of wonders, but a man getting pregnant was truly a first—something completely unheard of!
Being gawked at like a joke was infuriating enough, let alone while sporting a giant belly.
Huangfu Yu’s master was a ruthless man. He knew it was obviously impossible to get any information out of Mo Qi.
’If it’s a pregnancy, then there’s only one way to return to normal—give birth!’
’Men don’t have a birth canal, which leaves only one option—cut it out!’
With this in mind, Huangfu Yu’s master gritted his teeth, took out a dagger, and sliced open his own belly, removing the object inside.
He then did the same for Huangfu Yu, freeing him from his suffering.
Under everyone’s strange gazes, two bloody lumps of dead flesh were tossed aside.
’Holy shit, those two old guys were actually pregnant with something! And they gave birth to it!’ This was the thought running through everyone’s mind.
They were shocked and surprised, but more than anything, they were in disbelief.
Huangfu Yu’s master endured his discomfort, took out a small vial, and poured some white powder from it onto Huangfu Yu’s wound. He then infused it with Immortal Power to heal him as quickly as possible.
A short while later, Huangfu Yu’s injuries were fully healed, and his condition returned to its Peak.
"Thank you, Master, for saving me." Huangfu Yu knelt and bowed deeply.
"Enough. Get into the Spirit Pool first. We’ll deal with everything else after you come out!" Huangfu Yu’s master waved his hand dismissively, swallowed a Healing Elixir, his expression as cold as ice.
"Yes!"
Huangfu Yu glanced back in Mo Qi’s direction. He raised his right index finger and drew it across his throat in a slitting motion.
"You’re dead!"
After leaving this harsh threat, Huangfu Yu pushed through the wall of people and jumped into the Spirit Pool without a backward glance.
Seeing this, the corners of Mo Qi’s mouth lifted. He thought to himself, ’Just you wait. The real show is yet to come. Your despair has only just begun!’
At this point, Huangfu Yu’s master had also finished healing. Although he hadn’t recovered as completely as Huangfu Yu, he was no longer in serious condition.
"Mo Qi, you little brat, don’t you think you owe me an explanation? Hand over that pig!"
A magnificent Immortal, tricked by a mere pig, becoming pregnant and giving birth under the watchful eyes of a crowd—it was an absolute, utter humiliation!
Only blood could wash away this shame!
When an Immortal rages, corpses pile up for a thousand miles.
If not for the last shred of reason he had left, Huangfu Yu’s master really wanted to slap Mo Qi to death right then and there.
Before Mo Qi could even speak, several auras, no weaker than that of Huangfu Yu’s master, appeared in front of him.
The Feng Family, the Liu Family, the Long Yang Sub-Palace, the Five Poison Sub-Palace, and the Suffering Cultivation Sub-Palace—all had Immortal experts step forward to confront Huangfu Yu’s master, clearly intending to protect Mo Qi.
"Old Huangfu, I advise you to calm down. Don’t do something that both you and I will regret." The Feng Family Immortal’s threat was completely undisguised.
Ever since Liu Hui, Jin Sanpang, and Niu Kexin had displayed their transcendent talent, he had completely adjusted his attitude.
Previously, when dealing with Mo Qi, he would maintain the airs of an Immortal, more or less, even if he didn’t say it aloud.
But now, he truly saw Mo Qi as an equal partner.
The expression on the face of Huangfu Yu’s master turned extremely ugly. He knew that under these circumstances, it was a fool’s dream to think he could do anything to Mo Qi by himself.
Without him realizing it, Mo Qi had already amassed such a powerful network of connections that even he had to hesitate.
Now, to deal with him, aside from waiting for Huangfu Yu to emerge from the Spirit Pool, his only option was to resort to some special tactics.
"Hmph, you think you can protect him just like this?" Huangfu Yu’s master sneered.
He pointed at the crowd of onlookers and continued, "Five Poison Sub-Palace, Suffering Cultivation Sub-Palace, others might not know what Mo Qi possesses, but do you not know either? Look at them. How many of them have been plotting against Mo Qi from the very beginning?"
"The inheritance of an Ancient Great Power! Don’t you want it?" Huangfu Yu’s master suddenly asked.
"If you had your doubts at the beginning, what about now? A brat who came out of the Mortal District is surrounded by so many powerfully talented subordinates. If it’s not because he obtained the inheritance of an Ancient Great Power, what else could it be?"
