Chapter Sixty: That Pig from Back Then

  Kong Xuan was still talking about his own thoughts, where did he think Zhuang Xiong would suddenly change the subject? Unconsciously stunned for a moment, he blushed and said: "Others wouldn't change their name, others' names are Kong Xuan, grass head Xuan, a very beautiful flower, it's what mom left me. Symbolizing motherly love, can't be changed."

  Zhuang Xiong was taken aback for a moment, actually he always thought that whenever he heard the name Kong Xuan, he would think of the handsome guy from Feng Shen, and it was really hard to match him with the little loli in front of him, so he wanted to change Kong Xuan's name, didn't expect there was this saying, although Kong Xuan is also acceptable, but Zhuang Xiong still felt a bit uncomfortable.

  Zhuang Xiong called out as he spotted Zi Yu hiding in the corner: "Ah Zi, come over here."

  Zi Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly jumped over, smiling brightly at Zhuang Xiong, as if saying: "Master, what orders do you have for me?"

  Zhuang Xiong coughed lightly and said, "Speaking of which, Ah Zi, you are my mount, right? Now, however, I still have to drive the cloud and take you with me. What kind of situation is this? Hurry up and transform back into your true form, and take me back to Emei Mountain!"

  Zi Yu's face suddenly turned red with shame, she lowered her head and refused to speak, nor did she change.

  Zhuang Xiong was puzzled, and beside him, Kong Xuan said: "Master, you didn't know that Zi Yu sister is a girl before, but now that you do, why are you still riding her every day? How can she face others?"

  Zhuang Xiong couldn't help but roll his eyes and shouted: "I knew it, no good deed goes unpunished! When you two were in beast form, I was annoyed by the animal duo. Now that you've transformed back, my disciple is gone and my mount is also gone. I'm at a huge loss because of you two. What should we do now?"

  The two women exchanged a glance and were both taken aback.

  Zhuang Xiong let out a cold snort and said, "Kong Xuan, you've lost my Tongzi, so from now on, it's your responsibility to find me another one. Don't look at me with that expression, I know it's not your fault, but in the end, my Tongzi was lost because of you. Anyway, you have to make up for it by finding me a new one, or else you'll become a Tongzi yourself and follow me around every day."

  Kong Xuan was speechless for a moment and could only nod in agreement.

  Zhuang Xiong said again: "Zi Yu, you lost my mount, you go and find me a new one."

  Zi Yu had learned from Kong Xuan's experience and didn't dare to refute, so she hastily agreed.

  Zhuang Xiong nodded in satisfaction and said, "Although you, Purple Jade, have a lot of problems, such as being hypocritical, refusing to speak, deceiving Master, etc., but at least you don't talk back, which is somewhat redeeming."

  Zi Yu Kong Xuan exchanged a glance, and couldn't help but look at each other in dismay, weakly rolling her eyes.

  Just as the three of them had reached an agreement, Zhao Gongming suddenly exclaimed, "Huh? Teacher, sister, look over there! There's a really cute little pig."

  Zhuang Xiong casually said: "What's wrong with the little pig? Are you trying to ride a pig to watch the sunrise?"

  Kong Xuan and Zi Yu rushed over excitedly to take a look, and couldn't help but exclaim in unison: "It's really so adorable!"

  Zhuang Xiong's eyes scanned the area, and he saw a small pig lying on the sunny slope of the ground, basking in the warm sunlight. The pig's adorable appearance was quite endearing, but Zhuang Xiong couldn't help but feel that he had seen it somewhere before. He muttered to himself, "It seems like I've seen it somewhere?"

  Kong Xuan said: "How lovely! Master, let's take it back to Emei Mountain? Otherwise, it will be eaten by other witch tribes or demon tribes."

  Zi Yu also nodded beside him, but Zhuang Xiong suddenly realized and thought to himself: "Ah, I knew it looked familiar. It was because of this little pig that I wanted to eat meat back then. Why did he run here if not for Zhouzhi Mountain? So many years have passed, how come he still hasn't transformed?"

  Kong Xuan's eyes rolled, and with a mischievous grin, she said: "Old master, you just mentioned riding a pig to watch the sunrise? I think this little pig is quite cute! Why don't you choose him as your mount instead?"

  Zi Yu also looked at Zhuang Xiong with eager eyes.

  Zhuang Xiong was stunned, his eyes quickly conjuring up an image of himself riding on a small pig.

  Kong Xuan saw that Zhuang Xiong was a bit dazed, so she quickly pulled at Zi Yu and pointed to the little pig, giving her a signal.

  Zi Yu had been communicating with Kong Xuan through eye contact for a long time, and with one glance at Kong Xuan's eyes, she understood. She quietly glanced at Zhuang Xiong, who was still confused, and suddenly slipped out of the old man's cloud, rushing towards the little pig. It turned out that she wanted to get it first before talking.

  That little pig was sleeping in, but suddenly felt a strong gust of wind coming, didn't have time to open his eyes, and quickly rolled over to dodge. Turning back to look, he saw a woman in purple clothes staring at him with shining eyes. He couldn't help but sigh: "Another one who thinks I'm cute and wants to catch me. It's not my fault that being cute is really not my fault."

  Zi Yu saw the little pig flash by, and couldn't help but be surprised. Upon closer inspection, he found that the little pig had also become a Taiyi Golden Immortal, yet for some reason it still hadn't transformed its form. However, since it was a Taiyi Golden Immortal, it wasn't so easy to catch.

  Zi Yu's eyes rolled, and the Four Elephant Pearl floated up, temporarily trapping the little pig inside. Just as she was about to go in and grab the little pig, Kong Xuan suddenly flashed by her side, and a five-colored light flashed by, taking away even the Four Elephant Pearl. The little pig was naturally caught too.

  Zi Yu looked at Kong Xuan with an inquiring gaze.

  Kong Xuan smiled and said: "The old master says you're not suitable for capturing these. He called me over to help you. Let's hurry up."

  Zi Yu couldn't help but feel great joy, and asked with her eyes: "Could it be that Master has agreed? Is he going to take this little pig as his mount?"

  Kong Xuan smiled and said, "I don't know what he's thinking, but anyway, it's good that he called me over to help. However, I think he likes this little pig too, judging from the way he looks at it."

  Zi Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly followed Kong Xuan to ride the cloud and fly up to Lao Ye's cloud.

  Just then, Zi Yu jumped onto the old master cloud, and Zhuang Xiong suddenly had a feeling, his eyes rolled over and he knew what the two women were planning. He couldn't help but tease them, seeing that the two women had just stepped onto the old master cloud and stabilized their footing. Zhuang Xiong hastily said: "Where's Little Pig? Kong Xuan, quickly bring it out for me to see."

  Kong Xuan busily flashed a five-colored divine light, and the little pig and Sì Xiàng Zhū were released. Zi Yu waved her hand to collect the Sì Xiàng Zhū. Then she looked forward to Zhuang Xiong's praise.

  Zhuang Xiong didn't care about the two women at all, staring at the little pig for half a day, nodding and saying: "It's really you."

  That little pig had just caught sight of the light and was still feeling dizzy, when he heard someone speaking, he couldn't help but take a peek, and immediately let out a startled squeal, turned around and tried to run away. But where could he run to?

  Zhuang Xiong's big hand reached out, and the little pig was lifted off the ground, automatically falling into Zhuang Xiong's hands. Zhuang Xiong laughed and said: "In those days on Mount Buzhou, it was you who tempted me to start eating meat, I've been craving meat for a long time, since we have met again by chance, it can be seen that you are destined to be eaten by me, so just resign yourself to your fate."

  That little pig saw the big face of Zhuang Xiong right in front of him, his eyes were still as they were back then, as if he wanted to devour him whole, and before he knew it, everything went black and he fainted.

  Zi Yu couldn't help but look at Kong Xuan with a puzzled expression, and Kong Xuan stuttered: "Ol...old master, you caught it...is it for eating meat?" Zi Yu didn't want to speak, and could only look at Zhuang Xiong with inquiring eyes.

  "Of course, about 70,000 or 80,000 years ago, I met this little guy in Mount Buzhou. At that time, I really wanted to eat him, but was disturbed by my sister Nüwa and he escaped. This time we meet again, how can I let him go?"

  Kong Xuan seemed to have digested the news a bit and spoke more fluently, saying: "But that's no excuse for eating him! Master shouldn't be eating meat in the first place."

  Zhuang Xiong couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Master, I am a bear, why can't I eat meat? Why can't I eat it?"

  "Master, I know you can eat meat and sometimes I want to too, but eating meat harms other living beings, it's not right. We can just eat fruit instead. Actually, we don't need to eat anything at all, so why do you always have to eat?"

  Zhuang Xiong couldn't help but ask in confusion: "But if Xiaozhu doesn't come to eat, what else can it be used for?"

  That little pig had just woken up and hadn't even stood firm yet, when he heard Zhuang Xiong's words, his legs went soft again, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

  Kong Xuan and Zhuang Xiong both ignored him, Kong Xuan said: "Actually, it can still be used as a mount, didn't you just say that riding a pig to watch the sunrise is great? I think it's pretty good, and Purple Jade sister won't have to go around helping you find a mount either."

  Zi Yu nodded repeatedly beside him.

  That little pig also heard this and didn't care about its weak legs, it hurriedly squeezed forward and cried: "Yes yes yes, I can be a mount too." The little pig wasn't stupid, this Zhuang Yuan was obviously a great master, especially at this time when humans were the cutting board and we were the meat on it, being a mount was better than being eaten.

  Zhuang Xiong disdainfully glanced at the little pig, kicked him to one side with his foot, and said: "Just look at how small he is, can he be used as a mount? Moreover, he's a pig, can he fly quickly? With this appearance, wherever we go, it will bring shame to me."

  Zi Yu gazed at Zhuang Xiong with his eyes, as if wanting to say: "You told me before that the mount doesn't need to be too fast." Unfortunately, Zhuang Xiong was arguing with Kong Xuan at this time and didn't notice his gaze.

  That little pig, upon hearing this, suddenly had an epiphany, let out a loud roar, and in an instant transformed into a size of several dozen zhang, its ears flapping wildly, its four hooves treading on clouds, its entire body as white as snow but clearly radiating a cold glow, powerful yet still endearing, seemingly awkward yet somehow harmonious.

  The sudden movement startled several people to turn around and look at him, Zhuang Xiong couldn't help but sigh: "What a big pig, so much meat, finally we can have some meat dishes."

  Zi Yu Kong Xuan was speechless. At this time, he actually still wanted to eat? The master of his own house seemed not to be reliable at all.

  That little pig also shuddered and said: "I'm not carnivorous, I'm vegetarian."

  Zhuang Xiong couldn't help but ask in surprise: "I've never heard of pork being vegetarian before. Tell me, what's the reason behind this?"

  Zi Yu, Kong Xuan and Zhao Gongming also gathered around out of curiosity to listen to what the little pig had to say.

  The little pig's eyes rolled a few times, and he said: "I was born too white, and I have the dual attributes of ice and wind. The longer I cultivate, the more lovely I become. Later, a great godly predecessor said that although I am in a pig form, I am actually a vegetable spirit. Look at my skin color, doesn't it look like a cabbage? My friends all like to call me Little Cabbage. So, I'm not meat."

  Zhuang Xiong couldn't help but laugh and said: "Which great deity has ever said such a thing? You'd better say it again, let me see if I recognize it or not."

  That little pig was so anxious that it was sweating all over, saying: "I don't know what to call that person, but at the time there was a black bear who wanted to eat me and was stopped by that person. The person was old and weak, but no matter what attack came, he would dissolve it with a wave of his sleeve. Later, he told the black bear that I was innocent, and then the black bear let me go."

  Zhuang Xiong thought to himself, "With such an appearance and skills, it's probably Yang Mei. I didn't expect Yang Mei to be kind-hearted, this little pig is quite lucky to have met that person." He had only intended to tease Kong Xuan and Zi Yu, but unexpectedly found this little pig to be quite interesting. Now that he knew the little pig was related to Yang Mei, he couldn't help but smile and say, "Alright, let's not discuss whether what you said is true or false, I've enjoyed listening to it, so I'll let you go."

  Zi Yu hurriedly stepped forward to block the little pig, Kong Xuan said: "Old master, you see that he is just a Taiyi Golden Immortal, it's dangerous for him to travel in the vast wilderness like this? Why not take him back to Emei Mountain instead? Let him be your mount. And since I and Zi Yu sister can't be your disciples, we'll be your maidservants instead. Who says that you must have a disciple anyway? Hongjun Daozu has a disciple, but for you to find another one is just following the trend. Finding a maid servant, however, is something new, old master."

  Zhuang Xiong's face turned black with anger, but he had to admit that the maid was somewhat endearing. However, this mount of his would be a problem in the future when he became a saint - what kind of saint rides a pig? The very thought made him lose face.

  Seeing Zhuang Xiong's dark face and silence, Zi Yu approached him wanting to say something, but Zhuang Xiong just let out a cold hum, turning his head away. Zi Yu was helpless and could only exchange glances with Kong Xuan while talking. Zhuang Xiong couldn't help but let out another cold hum, muttering: "Rather spend so much effort not speaking, is it that hard to speak?"

  Kong Xuan roughly understood Zi Yu's meaning, and his eyes rolled around a few times before he smiled: "Master, most people in the Hong Huang haven't even gotten their mounts yet, so you're already one step ahead of everyone else. And by choosing a small pig as your mount, it makes you stand out even more, doesn't it? They're probably all trying to find some majestic and powerful mount right now, but Master, you've changed the style on them - they'll definitely be left staring in confusion. Master, you're just meant to be the first, let them follow after you."

  Zhuang Xiong felt a little dazed, as if he always felt that something was very familiar. It took him half a day to react and realize that this was just like the entertainment circle of later generations. As long as you make a name for yourself, it's good, no matter what kind of reputation it is. But do I still need to be even more famous?

  Yan Jian De Zhuang Xiong was still frowning, Kong Xuan couldn't help but roll her eyes. This old man was indeed stubborn when he got going. However, Kong Xuan still spoke up: "Old sir, what's the point of having a mount? It's not about speed, nor is it about strength, but about being cool! What does being cool mean? It means to attract everyone's attention! Do you think there's anything that can attract more attention than this little pig? He's simply a natural-born attention absorber!"

  Zhuang Xiong's face changed suddenly, and Kong Xuan added another sentence, saying: "Master, it's settled then. If you don't want him as a mount, we won't let you have her as a maid either. At worst, we'll just go to the vast wilderness to find a child to be his mount; we'll definitely find one."

  Zhuang Xiong muttered: "I didn't say I wouldn't agree. There's just one thing that needs to be asked first."

  Zi Yu and Kong Xuan were curiously looking at Zhuang Xiong, wondering what he was going to ask. Zhuang Xiong pretended not to notice and walked up to the little pig, asking: "You tell me first, are you male or female? Or should I say, are you a male or a female?"
