Chapter 149: You are getting a bit full of yourself, little sister

"Damned pig, I've already given you one chance! This is my last chance: call that damned monkey out right now, or else... I'll have you bleeding on the spot."

As soon as Qing Cheng finished speaking, the atmosphere in the area instantly heated up.

Old Pig was nearly frantic. How he wished he could summon the monkey out, but the problem was that the monkey was still in seclusion and simply had no time to spare.

"It's over! I'm completely doomed this time. Should I... just make a run for it?"

Old Pig lowered his head in silence, and a sudden idea popped into its mind. It immediately put the plan into action, saying, "You want to see our Monkey Brother? Fine, you're dead meat. Just wait right here, and don't even think about running away..."

While speaking, Old Pig turned its head back, swung its snout around, and flew away toward the edge of the horizon.

Everyone present: "???"

Hey, isn't that the wrong direction?

"Crap, it's trying to run away! Stop it..."

By the time everyone realized something was amiss, that damned pig was already miles away.

"It, it, it actually ran away?!"

This sudden turn of events made this farce even more chaotic.

Could this pig's realm be a bit too... well, you know? It was acting all fierce just a moment ago, only to turn tail and bolt?

"Elder Pig, what kind of game are you playing..."

With Old Pig making a dashing departure, the remaining fierce beasts instantly panicked! The script wasn't supposed to go like this.

We agreed to raise a ruckus together, so why is the instigator running away first?

"Damn it, are you playing me?"

Qing Cheng was furious. He instantly drew his Tri-pointed Double-edged Sabre and hurled it directly in the direction Old Pig had fled.

"Ah, that hurts like hell..."

A miserable scream echoed from miles away, though the pig itself remained invisible.

Before long, the Tri-pointed Double-edged Sabre flew back. There were bloodstains on the blade—presumably Old Pig's blood—suggesting it had indeed been impaled by Qing Cheng.

"Damn it, bad luck! First time in my life I've been played by a pig. How humiliating..."

Qing Cheng caught his returning weapon and cursed angrily.

Meanwhile, sitting in the barren wasteland and watching the battlefield the entire time, Ye Qiu remained completely motionless, looking as though he had been struck by lightning.

"How embarrassing! If you ever go out, never say you're a pig raised by me. I can't afford to lose that kind of face..."

Ye Qiu couldn't bear to look anymore. Was this pig really that cowardly? It was nothing like him at all! Couldn't you be a little braver and fight the enemy to the death...

I can't bear to watch! How did something I raised turn out to be such a piece of work...

After a moment of emotional sighing, Ye Qiu continued to focus on the battlefield, muttering to himself, "Strange, where did that damned monkey run off to? Why hasn't it shown up yet? Could it be that it doesn't dare show its face?"

No, that didn't fit its personality. It must have had some urgent matter to attend to, which was why it hadn't appeared.

The only explanation was that it was likely trying to break through its realm.

"Crap, why didn't I think of that? Damn it, that fellow stole a basket of immortal peaches from me. It couldn't have eaten all of them and broken through to become a mortal-level immortal, could it?"

Ye Qiu suddenly snapped to attention, his expression turning extremely tense. If the monkey really had broken through to the realm of a mortal-level immortal, then Qing Cheng was in serious danger.

With his half-baked skills, how could he possibly defeat the monkey? Even though Ye Qiu had taught him how to counter the monkey, it would still be difficult to fend it off.

"It's over, it's over! I have a feeling another major disaster is about to happen!"

Ye Qiu muttered to himself, feeling deeply uneasy. At that moment... a cold yet exquisite voice came from behind him: "Do you need help?"

"Huh?"

Ye Qiu turned his head and saw Yuechan...

"When did you get here?"

"I've been here for quite a while! Seeing that you were completely absorbed and entranced, I didn't want to disturb you..." Yuechan said indifferently. She then walked over to Ye Qiu, gracefully seated herself beside him, and watched the events unfolding in the mirror.

Hearing this, Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, breaking out in a cold sweat. He thought to himself, "Crap, thank goodness I didn't secretly talk trash about her just now, or I'd be done for!"

That was too close. The fact that she could appear behind him without a sound was utterly terrifying.

"Wait, you..."

It was only then that Ye Qiu suddenly realized something was wrong.

The immortal Qi emanating from Yuechan seemed increasingly dense, unexpectedly carrying a faint, refreshing fragrance—the fragrance of a lotus flower.

A single glance to probe the Qi within her body revealed it to be steady and brimming with vitality...

"You... when did you break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm?"

Ye Qiu asked in astonishment. He truly hadn't expected Yuechan to quietly break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Just how old was she? Counting her age, she was barely over twenty. In the cultivation world, someone of that age was like a toddler just learning to walk.

How could she possibly break through so quickly, catching up to and surpassing withered wood Daoists who had cultivated for millions of years at the tender age of twenty-some?

"My dear mother, I finally know what a protagonist is. This is even more terrifying than cheating—a Great Luo Golden Immortal in her twenties, truly unprecedented and unrepeatable..."

Ye Qiu sighed from the bottom of his heart. Just this heaven-defying talent alone earned her the title of peerless elegance...

This was the talent that the number-one prodigy of the younger generation of the Great Wilderness should possess...

Yuechan gave a faint smile, rarely revealing a trace of gentleness, and said, "Not long ago! Back when that kid was undergoing his heavenly tribulation, I already showed signs of a breakthrough, so I hurried back. I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Not long after entering seclusion, I successfully broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!"

"Tsk tsk... You're a freak!"

Yuechan: "???"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Ah! No one, I was talking about myself..."

"Oh, then that's not surprising! If we're talking about freaks, who in this world can compare to you? You're the real freak..."

Yuechan said without the slightest exaggeration. In terms of aptitude, talent, and cultivation base, who in the world could compare to Ye Qiu?

It was just that he always selectively ignored himself and talked about others instead...

Returning his gaze to the mirror image, after Old Pig left, the situation had already begun to spiral out of control, and those primeval fierce beasts all showed intentions of retreating.

Watching the scene inside, Yuechan softly asked, "Well, do you need this elder sister to help you solve these troubles?"

"Elder sister? Are you kidding me, little sister? You're getting a bit full of yourself, aren't you..."

Ye Qiu was amused to the point of laughter. If I remember correctly, I seem to be a few years older than you?

"Hehe... That's not important! What is important is that you seem to be in trouble..."

Yuechan didn't mind his words and signaled Ye Qiu to look at the Mirror of Heaven and Earth.

Uncomprehending, Ye Qiu looked over, and his expression instantly froze in shock...

"Crap, the Monkey King has been born?"

In the image, the entire Penglai Immortal Mountain was shrouded in a golden light. A powerful force erupted instantly, and the entire immortal mountain seemed as though it had been blown apart.

The sea water boiled, and everyone was driven back dozens of steps by the shockwave...

"What happened?"

In an instant, the entire scene erupted in commotion. Everyone looked toward the immortal mountain below with puzzled expressions. Seeing that the situation was bad, Cao He retreated behind the crowd.

Feeling a sudden chill in his heart, he thought, "It's over, it's over! Things seem to be getting bigger and bigger! Looks like I can't keep putting on airs anymore. Let's see if little Chengzi can hold on for a bit longer. If he really can't hold on... I'll have to make a run for it too."

Cao He's thoughts were quite pleasant, but what he didn't realize was that because of his performance just a moment ago, everyone had unconsciously regarded him as their backbone.

Seeing that things were going wrong, the crowd immediately pushed him forward and anxiously said, "Senior, that demonic monkey seems to have grown even stronger. Please consider the living creatures of the East China Sea and eliminate the demonic monkey as soon as possible..."
