Chapter 121: Born to be my pig [Seeking monthly votes]

"ah--"

Screams of terror erupted from the crowd. The more timid among them immediately closed their eyes, terrified of witnessing the gruesome sight of the wild boar knocking people over and trampling them until they bled. But others, seeing this, excitedly stood up and shouted at the burly man, "Lili, go and tear it to pieces!"

"Lili, go!"

"Kill it! Kill it!"

The tall, strong man had a resolute and focused expression, his jaw muscles were clenched, and his whole body was on high alert. His eyes were fixed on the fierce, dark-faced man rushing towards him, and he ignored the screams and jeers of the crowd.

Immediately following, a sickeningly loud "bang" rang out. Everyone watched in disbelief as the burly, fierce-looking man with the dark face collided head-on with the man without any cushioning. The result—as expected, neither being thrown into the air nor trampled occurred.

The moment they collided, the tall, muscular man, with his hands seemingly larger than palm-leaf fans, swiftly and decisively grabbed the dark-faced man's forelimbs, holding him firmly like an iron clamp. Despite the immense force of the impact, he only staggered back a mere half-step!

The man remained expressionless, but the dark-faced man sensed an intense and deadly danger. He let out a bloodcurdling scream, his body twisting and thrashing wildly, kicking and flailing his legs in an attempt to break free. But as he struggled, he realized his hind legs couldn't reach the ground.

The man lifted her up with both hands.

Seeing this, the crowd cheered and whistled. Encouraged by these cheers, the tall, strong man forcefully threw the over 200-pound black wild boar out. The boar landed heavily on the ground a meter away, howling mournfully.

Strangely, it didn't angrily charge back.

The tall, strong men were all bracing themselves for the next charge from the wild boar, but to their surprise, the boar, in pain, scrambled to its feet, and with a powerful push of its short, fat hind legs, the "boar" raced towards Chen Tang without stopping. It darted behind her in a flash, getting very close to Zhai Le.

It was making pitiful whimpering sounds, just like a poor little thing who had been bullied outside and was going home to complain to its parents.

Shen Tang: "...???"

Zhai Le: "...???"

crowd:"…………"

Tall, muscular man: "…………"

Sitting on the pig's back, Zhai Le suddenly broke down and burst out laughing, teasingly saying, "Brother Shen, your black-faced fellow is quite clever. Even when it was bullied, it knew to run back for protection... It's just that it seems to have forgotten that it nudged you earlier."

Shen Tang also had a black line on his face.

Clutching her sore backside, she glared fiercely at the dark-faced man hiding behind her, her pretty face flushed with anger. She kicked the wild boar, gritting her teeth, "There's an old saying, 'A dog relies on its master's power,' and I didn't expect you, a pig, to know that too. Knowing it, you still dared to provoke me and offend me?"

Shen Tang's kick wasn't very powerful.

However, this wild boar was quite clever; when kicked, it retreated, its pleas growing increasingly pitiful. This made Shen Tang think she was committing heinous acts of animal cruelty!

She rubbed her sore bottom, wincing in pain, and cursed inwardly—who the hell was being abused?

Her buttocks throbbed with pain, and she wondered if the blow had injured her tailbone. The thought made her increasingly upset.

I wish I could catch the wild boar and take it back right now!

Wash and kill it, then add plenty of scallions, ginger, and garlic.

This is the greatest respect and dignity one can show to a pig's life!

She was feeling annoyed when she suddenly noticed that the sunlight overhead was being blocked by the shadow of a tall, muscular man. She didn't know when the man had moved closer, and only when he got closer did she realize he was even taller than she had imagined.

Gong Shuwu approached two meters, but this person was definitely over two meters tall!

Chen, looking up at someone, asked Tang, "...What are you doing?"

The tall, burly man spoke, his words concise and to the point: "Catch the pig!"

Shen Tang said, "This pig is mine."

Although it hurt itself and her bottom, it was her pig in life and the pork in her bowl in death.

How could I let someone else grab me and cook me?

The tall, strong man looked down at the short, delicate Shen Tang in front of him. She was thin, frail, and had an overly feminine appearance. Even three of her tied together wouldn't be as strong as him. He could easily restrain her hands with one hand.

This very person actually blocked his way.

"You say it's your pig? Do you have any proof?"

Shen Tang chuckled and said, "Does this require evidence?"

The tall, burly man pushed aside Shen Tang, who was blocking his way, and said arrogantly, "Of course I need evidence. If you can't provide any evidence, this is just a stray wild boar. I caught it, so it's mine! This wild boar almost bumped into someone!"

Shen Tang, who took two steps back to steady himself, was speechless.

Wow, wow!

So she wasn't the only one who coveted this pig's body.

To appear more imposing, Shen Tang lowered her hand from rubbing his buttocks, tried to hide the pained expression on her face, and grabbed the man's outstretched hand. Compared to the man's tanned, dark skin, Shen Tang's hands were far too delicate and fair.

Her wrist was barely half the width of his, yet with just that one hand, she managed to keep the man's hand completely immobilized, unable to move an inch.

Shen Tang smiled enigmatically: "My brave man, it was indeed my fault for not keeping a good eye on it. But it truly is an owner's pig. There's something you need to know—it's my pig!"

Shen Tang spoke slowly and deliberately, asserting ownership in a domineering manner.

"Even if it dies, it will be the pork in my bowl!"

The tall, muscular man's lips twitched slightly as he secretly tried to throw Shen Tang away, but the latter seemed rooted to the ground. His seemingly delicate hand unleashed a force that collided head-on with his own, yet Shen Tang remained completely still, much to his astonishment.

"Are you going to let go or not?" the man asked.

Shen Tang said, "I won't let go!"

"Let go!"

"Don't touch my pork!"

Zhai Le chuckled, instantly breaking the previously serious and solemn atmosphere. Only then did the man notice Zhai Le riding on the back of another black-faced boar. Compared to Shen Tang's refined and elegant appearance, Zhai Le looked far too much like a wealthy young master.

Zhai Le laughed as he jumped off the pig's back, stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the tall, muscular man, and smiled slightly in his peach-blossom eyes: "This brave man, please give us face, we are willing to compensate you for the fright you suffered, but this black-faced beast is actually Brother Shen's 'beloved pet,' and we absolutely refuse to give it up."

As Zhai Le moved, the Martial Tiger Talisman at his waist collided with other odds and ends, making a crisp sound.

Upon hearing the commotion, the tall, muscular man instinctively glanced at his waist and, with his excellent eyesight, noticed the black jade tiger tally.

Brave warrior!

Although the man was an ordinary person, he had worked as a day laborer in a wealthy family and knew about this thing—ordinary people should never mess with someone who wore this thing around their waist.

But he wasn't afraid, simply because he had once killed two so-called third-class elite warriors with his bare hands. Ha, even martial arts masters are nothing special, not as amazing as outsiders say.

He narrowed his eyes and snorted.

Reluctantly, he let go of her hand.

I've been busy preparing for the Empress's five-star event next door these past few days, so the update is late. There are still two chapters left. The Empress should be able to get the five-star badge by 7 AM tomorrow, and then at midnight on the 4th, the game developer should be giving out monthly ticket red envelopes. Sweet!

P.S.: Thank you to the readers who helped with this star-level promotion event. Thank you very much.

P.S.: I'll try my best to get this book back from the serialization period and give it five stars!

PPPS: Lili is a mythical beast from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, with a pig's head, body, and tail, and chicken claws. Wherever it appears, there will be water and soil engineering projects, and it is said to be good at digging.
