"Reporting …" Just as Ji Dong and Fury were deciding on a name for the new armor, a messenger's voice came from outside.
"What's the matter?" Fury shouted outside the tent.
"Reporting to Lord Fury, there are three people outside the camp. They're asking to see you and Lord Ji Dong."
"Asking to see us?" Fury looked at Hyōhime suspiciously. Ji Dong was also stunned. Three people. He immediately asked the messenger, "What do they look like?" Could it be that the leader of the Demonic Alliance, Miao Miao, was here? Did she bring someone else?
The messenger's reply broke Ji Dong's thoughts. "The three of them don't seem to be from the same group. They're all very young. Two of them look similar. They're in their early twenties. They seem to be brother and sister. The other one is dressed in ragged clothes. He looks like a beggar."
Fury and Ji Dong looked at each other. "Do you know someone like that?"
Ji Dong shook his head. "It's not strange to be able to call out Big Brother's name. But to be able to call out my name, it should be someone I know. Should we go take a look or bring them here?"
Fury said, "It's just three people. Messenger, bring those three people here."
"Yes …"
The messenger left to carry out Fury's order. Fury and Ji Dong looked at each other. They were both thinking about who it could be. Suddenly, Ji Dong's mind flashed. Brother and sister. Could it be that pair of brother and sister? I've already clearly rejected them from coming here!
As he thought about it, Ji Dong walked to the front of the Holy King Divine Flame Armor. He raised his right hand and pressed on the chest of the armor. A white light flashed in his eyes. His strong spiritual power had already entered the armor. Accompanied by a clanging sound, the armor instantly disintegrated into pieces. Under the guidance of his spiritual power, they all landed on Ji Dong's body.
Strangely, when each piece of armor came into contact with his body, they did not fuse together. Instead, they directly merged into his body and disappeared.
Ji Dong's divine art fusion had reached a high level through his understanding of the assimilation circle and the law of the will. However, after fusing with the Vulcan's Dual Swords, there was a limit to what he could fuse. After fusing with the Celestial Fire Holy Monarch Armor, it was difficult for him to fuse any other large equipment into his body.
Not long after, the three people were brought over. When Fury and Ji Dong walked out of the tent and saw the three people, they couldn't help but be shocked.
"Du Ming, Xin 'er, why are you two here?" Fury looked at the pair of siblings in shock. They were the son and daughter of the God of Wine, Du Sikang. He had a good relationship with Du Sikang, so how could he not recognize them?
Du Ming chuckled and exchanged glances with his sister. He respectfully said to Fury, "Greetings, Uncle Fury, Master. We are also here to participate in the Battle of the Holy and Evil!"
"Master?" Fury looked at Hyōhime in confusion.
Ji Dong said, "Du Ming's philosophy in bartending is the same as mine, so I agreed to take him as my disciple and teach him the knowledge of bartending. Du Ming, I clearly refused to let you participate in the Battle of the Holy and Evil. Furthermore, why did you bring Xin 'er here?"
Du Xin 'er interrupted, "Master, I was the one who insisted on coming with big brother. In the past half a year, I've improved a lot. My magic power is about to break through level 50. I've long heard that the greater the pressure, the better it is for a Mage's cultivation. The Battle of the Holy and Evil is such a fun thing, how could I not come? You must let us participate."
"Fun?" Ji Dong unhappily snorted and said, "Stand aside first, we'll talk about this later. Friend, we don't seem to know each other. What business do you have with me and senior brother?"
Ji Dong waved his hand and had Du Ming and his sister stand aside. His gaze fell on the other person. This person's clothes could be described as ragged. Not only were his clothes tattered, his entire body was dirty. His hair was unkempt and his face was dirty. Even his appearance couldn't be seen clearly. He looked worse than a beggar. However, Ji Dong could clearly feel a sense of danger from this person. He was definitely not an ordinary person.
Fury also felt that it was strange. He didn't remember knowing such an ordinary person!
The beggar smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Fury, Ji Dong, don't you recognize me?"
When he opened his mouth, both Ji Dong and Fury were stunned. Ji Dong said in shock, "You … You're Yao Qianshu. You're a dignified Heavenly Stem First Wood Saint. How did you become like this?" His appearance couldn't be seen, but his voice couldn't be faked. Wasn't this Yao Qianshu?
Yao Qianshu took a few steps forward and arrived in front of Ji Dong. He suddenly burst into tears and said, "Ji Dong, you have to save me. I really can't take it anymore. These five years, I've been tortured to death."
Ji Dong hurriedly supported him and said, "What's wrong with you? You used to be a famous money tree. Medicine cures diseases that die, but money helps those who are fated. You should have a lot of savings, right? Why do you look like a beggar? "
Yao Qianshu stopped crying and said, "I didn't want to be like this. I was forced into this. I was forced into this by that fat pig. I sold everything that could be sold and exchanged it for food for that pig to eat. I couldn't even break the contract with it. If I don't let it eat its fill, it won't let me eat. These few years, I've been tortured to death by it."
Ji Dong said, "You're talking about that Chrysanthemum Holy Pig? It actually ate you to the point of collapse? "
Yao Qianshu said in pain, "Of course it did. It had to eat a ton of food in one meal. Although it wasn't picky, three meals a day, every day. Even if I was a mountain of gold, it would still be eaten by it. Even my clothes and storage magic tools were exchanged for food. These five years, you don't know how miserable I was. If it wasn't for my medical skills that allowed me to earn some money, I'm afraid it would have eaten me too."
"What about that Chrysanthemum Pig?" Fury asked from the side.
Yao Qianshu smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know where it is either. In any case, as long as it's time to eat, it will definitely appear. Boss Fury, this time, you must take me in. I'll do anything you want me to do. As long as I let that pig eat its fill and stop bothering me, I'll be one of you in the future."
Fury laughed and said, "Don't say it so ambiguously, okay? I'm not interested in you. How about this, I'll get someone to take you to tidy up and change your clothes. What do you call this? Don't worry, there's no shortage of food in this military camp. At least there won't be a problem for the time being."
At this moment, Yun Tianji walked out of the big tent. Seeing Yao Qianshu, he wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "First Wood Holy Disciple, long time no see. Congratulations."
Yao Qianshu was stunned for a moment and said, "Congratulations? What's there to congratulate? Don't laugh at me. "
Yun Tianji shook his head and said, "I'm not laughing at you. I'm really congratulating you. Although you've been tortured for five years, in these five years, you've truly gained its friendship. It will bring you far more than what you've given. Treat it well."
Yao Qianshu blinked his eyes and said, "Brother Yun, what do you mean by that?"
Yun Tianji smiled and said, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. When the time comes, you'll naturally understand."
Yao Qianshu scratched his messy hair and said helplessly, "Alright, I'll go wash up and change my clothes first. Right now, it's really too embarrassing. By the way, how's Tianji?"
Yun Tianji sighed and said, "I'm Tianji."
Hearing this, Yao Qianshu's body suddenly trembled. Of course, he understood the meaning of Yun Tianji's words. His gaze shifted to Hyōhime and saw Ji Dong nodding at him. Instantly, sorrow surged in his heart. His already fragile nerves from being tortured collapsed again. He cried bitterly and said, "Lord Tianji, he's gone just like that? This, this is really … "
Du Xin 'er, who was at the side, whispered in her brother's ear, "Brother, what's wrong with this guy? Why is he always crying like a woman?"
Without waiting for Du Ming to speak, Yao Qianshu raised his head and looked at Du Xin 'er and said, "You're the woman. Oh, no, you're a woman. Who's like a woman? Try being tortured for five years. Brother Yun, oh, no, Tianji, restrain your grief. Old Tianji dedicated his life to the continent. He will always live in our hearts."
Du Ming glared at Du Xin 'er. Du Xin' er stuck out her tongue and thought to herself, "This beggar's ears are quite sharp."
Fury had someone lead Yao Qianshu to wash up and change his clothes. Yun Tianji raised his head to look at the sky and mumbled, "Teacher, you're right. In the face of great danger, there's still a chance of survival."
At this moment, a lazy voice suddenly sounded from the side, "Where's that brat Yao Qianshu? Haha, isn't this Ji Dong and Fury? It's great to see you guys. These past few years, I've almost starved to death because of that brat Yao Qianshu."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a small, round pig that was no more than a foot long walking over with its head swaying. The chrysanthemum pattern on its back was very obvious, and it shone with a faint golden light under the sunlight. Wasn't that the Poplar Flower Saint Pig?
A trace of surprise appeared in Ji Dong and Fury's eyes. It must be known that this Chrysanthemum Holy Pig didn't come with Yao Qianshu. The battle between Saint and Evil was about to begin, so one could imagine how tight the defenses of the five countries' allied forces were. Even if one flew into the sky or burrowed into the ground, it would be impossible to sneak in quietly, but this guy came just like that.
"Wow, what a cute little pig!" When Du Xin 'er saw the chrysanthemum pig, her eyes immediately lit up. She ran over with a few steps and hugged the chrysanthemum pig.
The chrysanthemum pig took advantage of the situation and rubbed against Du Xin 'er's embrace. It looked as cute as it could be, but Ji Dong and Fury could clearly see the wretched light in this guy's eyes.
"What the beggar said just now was that you ate it poor? It's so cute and soft, it's so comfortable to hold. That guy must be lying. You're so small, how could you possibly eat him poor?" Holding a spotted pig, Du Xin'er giggled as she was cuddled by it. She seemed to be overflowing with love.
The chrysanthemum pig said indignantly, "That's right, Yao Qianshu is so heartless. How could I eat him poor with such a small body? That's all because he spent his own money. Sigh, I really regret it. If only I had met you the last time I met them, I would have formed a contract with you. " Ji Dong shook his head helplessly, while Yun Tianji's gaze fell on the chrysanthemum pig with a trace of deep meaning.
Du Xin 'er blinked her eyes, "Can this contract be changed? I like you so much, you're so cute."
The chrysanthemum pig's face was bitter. Its nose, mouth, and small eyes seemed to be gathered together. It shook its head and said, "No, that contract isn't that easy to break. Moreover, I don't have any offensive or defensive abilities. Didn't you see that Yao Qianshu regretted using me as a magical beast?"
Du Xin 'er said, "I don't care. When I have a magical beast in the future, I won't be willing to let it fight. I will treat it as my friend, my good companion, and I can't wait to protect it. Piggy, you're so cute. That guy must have mistreated you. Look, you're so thin."
Hearing Du Xin 'er's words, Ji Dong slapped his forehead. Together with Fury, he turned around and entered the account. Although Du Ming didn't know the identity of this Chrysanthemum Holy Pig, looking at its completely spherical body and saying that it was thin, his infatuated sister …
Others didn't think much of it, but the way the chrysanthemum pig looked at Du Xin 'er was different. It no longer rubbed its head against her slightly clear chest, and kept chatting with Du Xin' er, as if it regretted not having met earlier.
When Yao Qianshu returned and saw the obedient and lovable appearance of the chrysanthemum pig, his eyeballs almost fell to the ground. Was this still the wretched fat pig that had exploited him for an entire five years and forced him to eat until he was poor?
The Chrysanthemum Holy Pig naturally saw him and glared at him threateningly. Then, it rubbed against Du Xin 'er's embrace and said, "Xin' er, my master is back. I have to go with him. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will hit me."
Du Xin 'er's gaze immediately glared at Yao Qianshu fiercely, as if she had the intention of immediately making a move.
"I …" Yao Qianshu almost spat out a mouthful of blood. I hit it? Do I dare? If this fat pig was as simple and cute as it looks, I wouldn't have ended up like this!
"You guys chat, I'll be leaving first."
That night, it wasn't until dinner time that Du Xin 'er truly understood Yao Qianshu's pain. The Chrysanthemum Holy Pig's body didn't look big, but when it started to eat heartily, it definitely brought about a shocking level of terror. It ate almost a hundred portions of dinner by itself, and its body didn't change at all. After it finished eating, it laid in Du Xin' er's arms and fell asleep with its belly up.
Yao Qianshu's face twitched. Thinking back to the torture he had suffered for the past five years, he really wanted to rush up and strangle this fat pig to death. However, no matter how much he loved money, he was definitely not a person who repaid kindness with enmity. After all, the Chrysanthemum Holy Pig had saved him before, and he had always hoped that the Chrysanthemum Holy Pig would be able to display its strength as a Level Ten Divine Beast. However, things didn't go as he wished.
"It seems to be able to eat a little." Du Xin 'er rubbed the Chrysanthemum Holy Pig's round belly.
Yao Qianshu laughed bitterly: "Then it really can't eat a little!"
