'This guy is the one who tried to assassinate me?'
Xia Pingan's mind jolted, and he immediately squatted down to size up the man who had been thrown to the ground like a dead dog.
The man looked to be in his forties, and his eyes were tightly shut. His face was thin, and his cheekbones were prominent. The skin on his face was rough and dark, and his aquiline nose made him look exceptionally vicious. What left a deep impression was that the man had two thick, black, spiral-shaped eyebrows that were slightly red, making him look murderous.
That's right, it was that guy.
This guy was extremely daring and decisive. After failing to assassinate him the night before, he didn't even wait for a day. After finding out that he was in the Inspection Department, he came to the Inspection Department to assassinate him. However, he didn't expect that a Seven Sun Realm bodyguard would silently appear by his side. He had bumped into an iron plate.
"Hahaha …" Xia Pingan laughed heartily as he stood up. "I really didn't misjudge you. Iron Mask, you're really amazing!"
"A Six Sun Realm expert. Normally, it wouldn't be so easy for me to take him down. However, the weather was in my favor last night, and he was unlucky, so I took him down!" Iron Mask said calmly.
"How is he now? Is he alright?"
"He's fine. He was just knocked unconscious and suffered some physical pain. I've already sealed his secret mandala with the Spirit-Controlling Needle, so he can't use his divine power now …"
"This guy almost took my life. I didn't expect this day to come. Haha, sorry, I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about this guy on the ground …" Xia Pingan looked at the man on the ground, and with a flick of his hand, he took out a twenty thousand gold coin banknote and handed it to Iron Mask. "This is for you!"
Iron Mask looked at the banknote in Xia Pingan's hand and didn't take it. Instead, his eyes moved, and he calmly asked, "What's the meaning of this?"
"Nothing, it's just for you. I know you're short on money. At your cultivation level, buying realm pearls, pills, divine sense crystals, and all kinds of cultivation resources requires a lot of money. Your friends need to help you financially, and your confidantes need to compete for the top courtesan, beauty pageant, and freedom. Everything requires money. If you weren't short on money, you wouldn't have owed the Huang Family a favor. You didn't become my bodyguard for nothing. You've solved a huge problem for me, so you naturally deserve the reward. After spending some time with me, you'll know that being my bodyguard isn't actually something difficult to accept!"
Hearing Xia Pingan's words, the iron-masked man felt an urge to cry.
Yes, the iron-masked man was very short on money. So what if he was a Seven Sun Realm summoner? Without money, it would be difficult to do anything in Shang Jing City. When others sold realm pearls and pills to you, they wouldn't give you a few copper coins or give you nothing just because you were a Seven Sun Realm expert. On the contrary, they would increase the price even more if they knew that you were a Seven Sun Realm summoner.
Your friends knew your strength and would always think that you would never lack money. They would always borrow money from you. If you told them that you were poor, no one would believe you. If you said too much, they would think that you were pretentious and hypocritical. Your family knew your strength and also thought that you were rich. They were very bold when doing business. If they accidentally lost money, they would only look for themselves when they needed to fill the hole.
However, in all honesty, there were crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Shang Jing City. Even a Seven Sun Realm summoner wouldn't have it easy. This was especially true for those who had relied on their own hard work to reach their current position. It was even more difficult.
In this world, there was no money that was easy to earn apart from what one's parents gave them.
The iron-masked man actually … didn't know how to earn money. However, he spent too much money in too many places. Therefore, he was truly poor …
After taking a deep look at Xia Pingan, the iron-masked man looked at the 20,000 gold coins in Xia Pingan's hand. He didn't stand on ceremony with Xia Pingan anymore. He directly took the gold coins and put them away. After hesitating for a moment, he said gloomily, "Thanks!"
20,000 gold coins was no small sum. It could solve many problems.
Xia Pingan smiled and didn't say anything more. He looked at the black-clothed man on the ground and his heart stirred. All of a sudden, an idea popped into his mind.
Then, under the iron-masked man's gaze, Xia Pingan moved his hand and summoned a jade pen. Xia Pingan held the jade pen and kicked the guy on the ground. He flipped the guy over and faced the sky. Then, he activated his divine power. The jade pen immediately shone brightly and emitted a golden brilliance.
Xia Pingan then wrote the word "pig" on the black-clothed man's forehead.
The golden "pig" word sank into the black-clothed man's forehead. Then, the black-clothed man's body began to twist and change. In less than ten seconds, the black-clothed man turned into a pig — a little black pig that was more than a foot long. It was lying in a pile of clothes on the ground. However, the little black pig's face was long and narrow. Its nose was high and the hair on its eyes was especially exuberant and slightly red. Only if one looked carefully would they be able to see that the pig's appearance was somewhat similar to the black-clothed man's.
"Polymorph …" The iron-masked man was shocked.
Xia Pingan's move just now also shocked him. It was the first time he had seen a secret technique that could directly turn a living person into a pig.
"It's not Polymorph …" Xia Pingan shook his head and smiled. "It's Polymorph Technique. Polymorph Technique is to change one's appearance. This Polymorph Technique is to change one's appearance. Oh right, you can take out your Requiem Needle now. Now, this little pig can't escape from my palm …"
The iron-masked man took a deep breath and pointed at the little black pig on the ground. A golden light flew out of the black pig's body and circled around his finger twice before being stored in his space-teleportation equipment.
As the Requiem Needle was stored, the little black pig on the ground slowly woke up and staggered to get up.
When the assassin woke up, he probably didn't realize that he was already a pig and not a human. He struggled to raise his head, and when he saw the "tall" figures of Xia Pingan and the iron-masked man, he tried to stand up with his two hind legs, but he fell to the ground. He raised his hand, only to see a pitch-black pig's trotter … … Translator's Note: This chapter was sponsored by Patreon
At this moment, the iron-masked man could even see the shock in the pig's eyes.
Yes, a pig that looked at its own pig's trotter with a face full of shock!
Then, the little black pig screamed and staggered backward. As a result, its steps were uncoordinated and it fell to the ground again.
Then, the little black pig screamed and ran around Xia Pingan's office. It ran up and down the smooth wooden floor, trying to drill into the ground.
In Xia Pingan's office, for a moment, only the sound of a pig screaming and running around could be heard, as well as Xia Pingan's malicious laughter.
"Don't run. You're not dreaming. There's a mirror over there. You can run to the mirror and see for yourself …" Xia Pingan said faintly.
When the pig heard Xia Pingan's words, it finally ran to the mirror in the office and saw itself in the mirror … It really was a pig!
Then, in the next second, the pig's eyes stared blankly. Its body stiffened and its limbs stiffened. It fainted again.
It really couldn't take this blow.
"Hehe, I didn't expect this assassin's psychological quality to be so weak …" Xia Pingan shook his head.
…
Wei Meiyu came to work early today. When Wei Meiyu came to work, she found that there was an iron-masked man outside Xia Pingan's office. There was also a pig in the office, a grumpy and desperate pig.
Yes, Wei Meiyu found that when she saw the pig, she could actually feel the emotions on the pig's face.
Xia Pingan found a dog chain from the warehouse of the Inspection Department and tied the pig up.
It didn't take long for the summoners of the Inspection Department to come one after another. Everyone found that there was an iron-masked man and a pig in Xia Pingan's office.
The office building of the Inspection Department was very large. Xia Pingan directly asked people to clean up a room outside his office, next to the secretary's room. It was a place for the iron-masked man to rest. If he was in the office, the iron-masked man could stay in his room.
Xia Pingan directly introduced the iron-masked man to everyone, saying that the iron-masked man was his new bodyguard.
As for the pig, Xia Pingan also introduced it to everyone, saying that it was his new pet.
The pig was very grumpy. It rushed around Xia Pingan's office and was not well-behaved. Then Xia Pingan called Luo Laoji to the office and handed the chain that tied the pig to Luo Laoji. He asked Luo Laoji to take the pig to the yard below for a walk. He would use his dog to teach the pig the rules.
Luo Laoji did as he was told.
A few minutes later, Xia Pingan stood at the window and drank tea. He saw that in the yard below the Inspection Department, Luo Laoji's dog was chasing the little black pig all over the yard. The pig was tied to the railing in the yard and was constantly screaming as it was chased by the dog.
Xia Pingan in the office let out a pig-like laugh …
