In the forest, a group of small demons watched as their king's silhouette disappeared into the distance. They were trembling in fear.
The world was truly unpredictable.
Who would have thought that the arrogant Demonic Pig Emperor would be carried away in the blink of an eye?
Also, it seemed like some big shot had taken a fancy to its pork. It would probably become a dish soon.
All the little demons shuddered at the same time. The Immortal Cultivation World was truly too terrifying.
…
The next day.
Morning.
Yao Mengji carried the Demonic Pig Emperor to the foot of the Fallen Immortal Mountain. Qin Manyun was beside him.
Qin Manyun asked with concern, "Master, are you sure you don't want to rest?"
"It's alright!" Yao Mengji looked haggard, but he still waved his hand casually. "If it weren't for the fact that I've lost so much energy, why would I need to team up with you to deal with the Demonic Pig Emperor? It's more important to visit the expert now. "
The two of them were about to walk up the mountain.
However, they paused and looked in a direction.
There, two figures were slowly walking toward them.
Qin Manyun's gaze froze. He said softly, "Master, it's the scholar who talked about Journey to the West. He said he's the expert's page boy."
Yao Mengji's expression froze. He walked up to them.
He said in a friendly manner, "I'm Yao Mengji, the Palace Master of the Linxian Palace. Greetings, Young Masters."
When Zhou Yunwu first saw Yao Mengji, he sympathized with him. He thought he was a lonely old man who was all skin and bones.
However, when he heard that he was the Palace Master of the Linxian Palace, he was shocked.
Were all Palace Masters so weak? Did he fight with some big demon and have his Yang Qi sucked away? That was too tragic.
Zhou Yunwu looked at the huge Maned Wild Boar on his shoulder and understood immediately.
The boar was most likely a sow.
"Prince Zhou Yunwu of the Xia Dynasty. Greetings, Palace Master Yao." Zhou Yunwu bowed without any change in expression. Then, he introduced, "This is my military advisor, the future Imperial Advisor of the Xia Dynasty, Meng Junliang."
"Oh, you're the Prince of the Xia Dynasty." Yao Mengji nodded.
He obviously didn't pay much attention to mortal dynasties, let alone recognize them.
Qin Manyun said to Meng Junliang, "Manyun greets Senior. I didn't expect to see you again."
Meng Junliang bowed and said, "Lady Man Yun, I've said before that you shouldn't call me Senior."
"Then I'll call you Young Master Meng," Qin Manyun smiled and asked, "Are you also here to visit Young Master Li?"
"Yes." Meng Junliang nodded. He was a man of few words.
Zhou Yunwu sighed and said, "Ah, a plague has appeared in the Xia Kingdom, so I came here to seek help from Young Master Li."
"What? Qin Manyun and Yao Mengji frowned at the same time.
Had it really spread over here?
A plague in a dynasty was too scary. Because the population was too dense, it would spread very quickly. If it couldn't be controlled, it would be very scary.
"Yesterday morning, I realized that something was wrong. I immediately rushed here with Junliang. I don't know how the situation is now." Zhou Yunwu's face was full of worry.
Yao Mengji asked curiously, "Why are you here to ask for help from Young Master Li?"
Zhou Yunwu said immediately, "I've visited Young Master Li before. He said that if there's a plague, I can come and find him."
Yao Mengji and Qin Manyun looked at each other. Zhou Yunwu's weight in their hearts suddenly changed.
They didn't expect a mortal prince to be favored by the expert.
Why did the expert make this move? Could it be that this was just a casual game of chess?
As for the expert being able to cure the plague, they weren't surprised at all.
Yao Mengji smiled and said, "What a coincidence. Let's go together."
Immediately, the four of them became closer. They chatted and laughed as they walked up the mountain together.
Just as they were about to reach the four-part architecture, Yao Mengji's expression changed. He looked at a place in the forest.
There, a pig's head was hidden in the forest, looking at him with fear.
Yao Mengji immediately showed a friendly smile and walked over slowly. "So it's Brother Pig. I haven't thanked you for saving my life last time."
The Wild Boar Demon was so scared that it jumped up. Its entire body was trembling. It screamed nervously, "Don't come over!"
It stared at the Maned Wild Boar on Yao Mengji's shoulder. The fear in its eyes grew bigger and bigger.
"Oh my god! It's really the Demonic Pig Emperor! "The Wild Boar Demon shivered all over. It turned around and ran into the forest.
That old man was too scary. Nothing good would come out of meeting him!
The last time it met him, it was almost struck to death by lightning.
This time, it saw him carrying the Demonic Pig Emperor up the mountain.
That was the Demonic Pig Emperor, the strongest among the pigs. It was its idol and goal.
Now, its idol was peacefully carried on the old man's shoulder. This visual impact was terrifying to the Wild Boar Demon.
This was killing a pig to warn the pigs!
This old man was definitely a pig killer. It had to stay away from him in the future.
Yao Mengji looked at the Wild Boar Demon's back and shook his head with a bitter smile. "Forget it. Let's continue up the mountain."
Soon, a courtyard house appeared in front of the four of them.
Qin Manyun stepped forward. "Is Young Master Li home?"
Creak.
The door opened.
Li Nianfan saw the Demonic Pig on Yao Mengji's back at a glance. Its size was too eye-catching. It was hard not to notice it.
Yao Mengji smiled and said, "Young Master Li, here's some game. Please accept it as a token of my respect."
Li Nianfan laughed and did not stand on ceremony with them. "Yo, this Demonic Pig is not small. It must be a demon. Thank you for your trouble."
Qin Manyun smiled and said, "It's just a little Demonic Pig. I just got it casually."
"Thank you." Li Nianfan joked, "You brought your own ingredients. I think you want to take the opportunity to have a meal here."
Pork was a top quality delicacy. High-quality Demonic Pig was even rarer. Last time, the pig helped him test his lightning rod. He did not have the heart to eat it. He did not expect Yao Mengji to bring one this time. How thoughtful.
Yao Mengji and Qin Manyun both smiled. They naturally wanted to have a meal. It was not good to agree directly, but they could not bear to reject. They could only smile awkwardly.
However, seeing Li Nianfan's reaction, their hearts were lifted. As expected, reading the expert's mind was the key. The expert was very satisfied!
Then, Li Nianfan's gaze fell on Zhou Yunwu and Meng Junliang.
He said in surprise, "It's you guys."
Li Nianfan had a deep impression of the scholar. Why was he with Zhou Yunwu?
However, it was not strange for a scholar and a prince to be together.
Meng Junliang and Zhou Yunwu bowed at the same time. "Young Master Li, sorry to disturb you."
Li Nianfan was curious. He could not help but ask, "Scholar, long time no see. Are you still pursuing the path of immortality?"
