Chapter 521 - 519: Turned Into a Pet Pig
"Hmm hmm..."
This time, the Lightning Pig was surprisingly docile, even its voice sounded so gentle, leaving Chen Tianlong dumbfounded.
What’s going on?
A flurry of question marks popped up on Chen Tianlong’s forehead. The Lightning Pig that was so fierce just moments ago suddenly became so tame.
"Lightning Pig, from now on, you’ll be the pet pig of this young brother here. You know what to do, right? Otherwise, if I find out, you’ll turn into roast pork... hmm hmm!"
Yue Xiaoyao’s next words were not explicitly stated, but the powerful aura he emitted completely subdued the Lightning Pig.
Generally, spirit beasts are like this; as long as they encounter someone much stronger, they will obey. Clearly, it has been intimidated by Yue Xiaoyao and is now kneeling on the ground.
Lightning Pig can’t speak human language, but it can understand it. Yue Xiaoyao’s words were clear—to be the pet pig of the person in front of it, so how could it defy?
Moreover, although the Lightning Pig was already quite powerful, it amounted to nothing in front of Yue Xiaoyao. As this person is sticking up for the young man, he must not be ordinary.
Thinking of this, the Lightning Pig immediately removed its rampage state and suddenly shook, transforming into a cute little white pig.
"Gah?"
Chen Tianlong was stunned; if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought he had traveled through time. How did the Lightning Pig become a cute pet pig?
"You... are you the Lightning Pig?"
"Choo choo... choo choo choo!"
"Oh gosh! Even the voice changed?"
Chen Tianlong was left scratching his head; the once snoring pig now became a cute pet pig, and even its voice changed to resemble an elf.
Chen Tianlong could only shake his head; the matters of the Spirit Beast Realm were beyond his understanding.
"Choo choo choo!"
The Lightning Pig emitted this sound again, indicating its excitement. Now, apart from appearing like a pig, it was indistinguishable in other aspects.
Especially the voice, it resembled a chick that hasn’t reached its voice-changing stage.
This was the Lightning Pig’s original form, only transforming during battle mode. Now that it has recognized its master, it has to revert to its original form.
"Lightning Pig, are you saying you want to be my spirit beast?"
Chen Tianlong took a deep breath; when Yue Xiaoyao communicated with the Lightning Pig through Vacuum Transmission, he could hear it too, indicating that the old man deliberately allowed him to hear.
The Lightning Pig nodded, then rolled its eyes and began gesturing on the ground with its hoof.
In no time, a line of words appeared. Chen Tianlong widened his eyes; today felt like a dream, meeting a shape-shifting spirit beast was one thing, but one that could write too?
"You are my master now; take good care of me in the future."
Chen Tianlong couldn’t help but burst into laughter after reading this sentence; it sounded like a double entendre, as if asking for a deeper commitment.
"Lightning Pig, I accept you, but you’re a pig and I’m a student, how can I carry you around? You’d better stay here."
Chen Tianlong smiled wryly; this Lightning Pig looked quite adorable and even a bit spoiled.
"Choo choo..." The Lightning Pig called while hopping around and scribbling, "No problem, I can hide in your dormitory later."
"Come on, you’re a pig! What if your snoring wakes my roommates, and they get angry and turn you into braised pork? You better believe it."
Chen Tianlong could hardly imagine keeping a pig in his dormitory; it was such a heaven-defying idea.
Setting everything aside, if the dormitory administrator found out, he’d surely get a major demerit.
"Choo choo!"
The Lightning Pig shivered at the thought, its head drooping.
Chen Tianlong seemed to understand Lightning Pig’s thoughts and quickly said, "However, you can follow me during this period. You’re a Cultivation Pig; why not go to Old Chen’s place? She can take care of you."
"Choo choo..."
Lightning Pig perked up hearing this and excitedly scribbled on the ground, "Is your Old Chen also a cultivator? Is he as formidable as the old man earlier?"
"Hehe, I don’t know, but I think he’s the most formidable," Chen Tianlong said proudly.
"Cough cough..."
In the Mysterious Space, Yue Xiaoyao deliberately coughed. He didn’t know who Chen Tianlong’s Old Chen was, but when it came to being formidable, Yue Xiaoyao didn’t regard anyone highly.
Chen Tianlong heard Yue Xiaoyao’s cough and laughed bitterly; clearly, he was chatting away with the Lightning Pig and forgot about the old man’s presence.
"Hehe, Yue Xiaoyao old man, tell me, should I accept this Lightning Pig?" Chen Tianlong hesitated for a moment, but ultimately sought the veteran’s advice.
"Come on, I wouldn’t introduce something bad to you, it’s a supreme treasure. You’ll understand later on." Yue Xiaoyao responded with slight irritation.
"It’s just a pig." Chen Tianlong chuckled.
"Choo choo!"
The Lightning Pig looked at Chen Tianlong with pitiful eyes, as if pleading to be kept.
"Alright, I’ll take you home then."
Chen Tianlong thought for a while; since the old man said it’s useful, and now it has acknowledged him as master, keeping a spirit beast couldn’t hurt. Maybe have Old Chen look after it and play with it.
If the Lightning Pig heard Chen Tianlong’s reasoning, it’d definitely be enraged.
Just as these words fell, Chen Tianlong suddenly felt something odd in his body; the sensation had been there while battling the Lightning Pig, a feverish heat throughout.
Initially, Chen Tianlong thought it was due to high concentration in battle, but now, calming down, the feeling not only didn’t subside but intensified.
"Ah~~"
Chen Tianlong could no longer endure the heat; despite it being a cold midwinter evening on the mountain, he was sweating profusely, feeling like he would explode.
Yue Xiaoyao quickly shouted, "Chen Tianlong, you’re about to break through, hurry into my space! The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi outside is too thin, unable to meet your breakthrough needs. Do it quickly, or you’ll implode and die later."
"Gah?"
Already overwhelmed by heat, Chen Tianlong was alarmed by Yue Xiaoyao’s words, quickly shutting his eyes, chanting the Heart Method Mantra, and entering the Mysterious Space.
Within the Mysterious Space, Chen Tianlong rapidly executed the Heart Method, controlling the heat throughout his body, though not fully dissipated, stabilized to a certain extent.
"Phew..."
Chen Tianlong took a deep breath, finally relaxing.
He realized, if not for discovering this Mysterious Space, he wouldn’t know if he might implode and die, still feeling a tinge of fear thinking about it.
After confirming everything was normal, Chen Tianlong transitioned into upgrade mode.
Strangely enough, this Mysterious Space was indeed wondrous; its plentiful Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was several times stronger than outside. At that moment, a powerful stream of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi filled his body, warmly soaking in.
Moreover, Chen Tianlong found to his surprise that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here was not only dense but exceptionally pure. If the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi outside was sixty percent, then within this Mysterious Space, it was over ninety-five percent.
