Nine Astra Skies - Chapter 203

Chapter 203: Zhu Gonggong

Little Wingsy opened his mouth and stuffed in a large chunk of spiced beef. He felt that strolling through the street was a wonderful thing to do.

“Big Brother Ye Chen, do you want some spiced beef?” Little Wingsy’s mouth was full as he looked up at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen burst out laughing and shook his head. “Go ahead and eat it.”

To prevent being tracked like the last time, Ye Chen had released his Astral Body, which was much stronger than before. It could cover a range of ten miles. Even the slightest movement would not escape his notice.

There was no one nearby that harbored malicious intentions toward them. Ye Chen was about to move forward when he overheard the words of some passersby.

“Did you know? Lately in the Capital City, a Demon Pig has been appearing fre uently,” a middle-aged man dressed in gray said softly, a fearful expression on his face.

Demon Pig? When Ye Chen heard these two words, he stopped in his steps and focused on listening. Could some mystical beast have barged into the Capital City? That did not make sense. Were the experts of the Capital City did nothing and being freeloaders, allowed the mystical beast to have its way in the Capital City?

“Is that Demon Pig powerful? Why didn’t the city guards capture it?” a well-rounded married woman asked nervously at one side. Although she was over forty years old, she had a middle-aged beauty. There was an inexpressible, flirty look in her brows, and she dressed in a somewhat revealing manner. Her fair skin was widely exposed underneath her collar.

“Why didn’t they capture it? Reportedly, some city guards set up a trap to capture the Demon Pig, but it was too clever. I heard that it could change its size, even turning as tiny as a mouse. Dozens of Ninth Level city guards worked together but couldn’t capture it!” The middle-aged man seemed to have witnessed everything and his spittle flew everywhere.

When she heard these words, the married woman shuddered in fright and asked, “Does this Demon Pig eat humans?”

“Eat humans?” The middle-aged man paused, then shook his head. “I’ve not heard anything like that. I’ve only heard that the food in the officials’ kitchens would inexplicably go missing.”

“That Demon Pig only steals and eats food, not humans. What’s there to be afraid of?” The married woman chortled and her shaking bosom caused the middle-aged man to stare and gulp surreptitiously.

“That… There’s nothing to be afraid of indeed.” The middle-aged man was very embarrassed. He glanced directly at the woman’s chest, then snickered. “Besides stealing food, the Demon Pig also nuzzled the bottoms of young ladies from rich families. Supposedly, Assistant Minister Li’s daughter had her buttocks nuzzled by the Demon Pig and was so shocked that she stayed in bed for three days. Besides that, Councilor Qin’s daughter, Councilor Zheng’s daughter… More than ten well-known beauties had their buttocks nuzzled by that Demon Pig. What a shame – these beautiful ladies were not yet married and had not been nuzzled by a man, but already have been nuzzled by a Demon Pig.”

“That Demon Pig has such a strange obsession!” the married lady mumbled to herself. She had never heard of a Demon Pig that only nuzzled buttocks.

“Third Missus, you’d better be careful!” The middle-aged man gave a mischievous laugh as he glanced at the woman’s round bottom.

“Hey now, keep your eyes up here!” The married woman threw him a reproachful look but did not look that bothered. Her eyes danced playfully and she laughed daintily. “I have to go first. My man is still waiting for me at home.”

The middle-aged man stared at her figure that was as curvy as a water snake and clicked his tongue in admiration. Her man was truly lucky to have such an alluring wife.

“Only nuzzles women’s buttocks?” Ye Chen’s brows drew together as he murmured. Where did this Demon Pig come from? Why did it have this obsession?

Just as Ye Chen was deep in thought, he looked down and suddenly saw that Little Tanuki’s cheeks were flushed red. Her limpid eyes were filled with embarrassment as she stared at Ye Chen, peeved.

“Little Tanuki, what’s wrong?” When Ye Chen noticed Little Tanuki’s expression, he asked, puzzled.

Ye Chen had been walking along just fine when he suddenly blurted the vulgar words “only nuzzles women’s buttocks”. This made Little Tanuki feeling indignant. Was this Ye Chen’s hobby?

Little Tanuki’s Astral Body was not as powerful as Ye Chen’s, so she did not overhear the conversation between the middle-aged man and the married woman. It was not surprising that she would mistake his meaning. Ye Chen thought for a moment and realized that Little Tanuki had misunderstood. He hurriedly waved his hands and explained, “Little Tanuki, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not the one who said that line.”

Little Tanuki’s bright round eyes stared at Ye Chen, but she still wore a doubtful look.

Ye Chen’s face and ears turned red. “Little Tanuki, you’re misunderstanding me. Earlier, my Astral Body eavesdropped on a conversation between a middle-aged man and a married woman.”

Little Tanuki blinked a few times and seemed to realize something. Ye Chen’s words were too ambiguous. To think that Ye Chen had a penchant for listening to people fooling around – after all, his Astral Body would be a fine tool for that purpose!

Upon seeing Little Tanuki’s expression, Ye Chen knew that Little Tanuki was further misinterpreting his words. He said in a panic, “It’s not what you think. The middle-aged man was telling the woman that a Demon Pig had appeared in the Capital City. This Demon Pig doesn’t eat humans and only nuzzles women’s buttocks. I was somewhat puzzled as to the origins of this Demon Pig.”

It turned out this was what Ye Chen meant. Little Tanuki laid down on Ye Chen’s shoulder.

Now that he had explained himself at last, Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief. After a long while, he smiled awkwardly. “Little Tanuki, do you think that I’m such a vulgar person?”

Little Tanuki sat up with an innocent look, staring at Ye Chen with her clear eyes. Bit by bit, her cheeks turned red and she nodded. She recalled her own previous unfortunate experience – Ye Chen had touched her buttocks so many times and had even touched her other part…

When he saw Little Tanuki’s naïve, frank, serious expression, Ye Chen was momentarily thrown off and scratched his head in distress. Why would he have given Little Tanuki such an impression?

When Little Tanuki saw Ye Chen struggling to speak, she secretly snickered. Her brows danced in an alluring manner and she sprawled across Ye Chen’s shoulder. In truth, she was only kidding him.

The curvaceous married woman swiveled her hips and had turned to leave when she felt a strange sensation on her bottom. It was as if someone was constantly fondling her. She thought it was that middle-aged man earlier, who was even touching her at a sensitive place, causing her to shiver deep inside. She laughed enchantingly. “Xu Laowu, you pervert. You usually appear so well-behaved. To think that you’re so lewd! Touching my butt in broad daylight, you b*stard!”

The woman turned around, about to playfully slap him away but saw that Xu Laowu was standing five meters away, staring at her in alarm. She was dumbstruck and looked down, seeing that a pig was nuzzling her buttocks incessantly.

This pig was around the size of an ordinary pig, only it was pink all over and very clean. Its large ears drooped down like two cattail-leaf fans, flapping constantly. There was a massive jade pendant hanging from its neck, earrings in its ears, and jade bracelets around its ankles. It was covered in the splendor of jewelry. When the woman looked at it, it raised its head and snorted twice with its long snout. That lecherous look was no different from a human’s.

The married woman cried out in shock, “My goodness!” Her eyes rolled up and she fainted.

The Demon Pig lowered its head and nuzzled her bottom a few more times, clicking its tongue in admiration. “This one’s fleshy, much better for nuzzling than those young ladies who are practically skeletons.”

People from both sides yelled in alarm, “Third Missus Mo has been nuzzled by the pig!”

“The Demon Pig is here!”

“Third Missus Mo’s butt has been nuzzled by the Demon Pig!”

There was a clamor at the surrounding stalls. Many had heard of the Demon Pig and knew that this pink-all-over, seemingly harmless pig behind Third Missus Mo was a Demon Pig. They fled in terror. The married women, in particular, turned pale one by one, wishing that their parents had given them an extra pair of legs.

When Ye Chen was speaking to Little Tanuki, he had not withdrawn his Astral Body. He only saw a red flash and the Demon Pig suddenly appeared within the range of his Astral Body, nuzzling that Third Missus Mo’s bottom. Its speed was astounding.

This Demon Pig had considerable strength! Ye Chen was rather surprised. Surely even Heavenly Adept or Mystique Adept Rank mystical beasts did not have speed like this? Ye Chen had detected powerful energy coming off the Demon Pig’s body. Could it be that this Demon Pig that appeared harmless was a Daemon King?

Ye Chen had only lost focus for a moment when the Demon Pig moved a few hundred meters away in a “whoosh”. It had reached another gorgeous married lady and nuzzled her bottom with its long snout. The lady turned back and fainted as well.

Ye Chen’s heart trembled. This Demon Pig’s speed was truly shocking. If it was a Daemon King Rank mystical beast, it was best not to provoke it. Otherwise, if a Daemon King went berserk in the Capital City, there would be trouble.

“Little Wingsy, Little Tanuki, let’s go,” Ye Chen said urgently. His Astral Body was keeping track of that Demon Pig.

If it was a Daemon King Rank Celestial Beast, it would have noticed that Ye Chen was spying on it with his Astral Body long ago. That Demon Pig must be a mystical beast!

The Demon Pig nuzzled five beautiful married women in a row, its fan-like ears flapping ceaselessly as it wore a self-satisfied look. It said to itself, “The women in the Capital City are fair and rosy indeed, so juicy and fragrant, so different from the women in other places!” It took a few joyful, excited steps, and its slick, round eyes narrowed into slits. “In front is the legendary Silk-washing Bridge Lane. The women there are fair and voluptuous and they are exquisite as flowers. I’ll get to nuzzle the butts of young ladies. After nuzzling the women in Silk-washing Bridge Lane, I’ll nuzzle the women in the emperor’s harem, the princesses, and the pretty ladies-in-waiting! I, Zhu Gonggong[1], have the noble dream of nuzzling the pert buttocks of every beautiful woman under the sun! I’m willing to use my one great life to fulfill this noble dream!”

The Demon Pig snorted excitedly two times and turned into a whooshing blur as it dashed into Silk-washing Bridge Lane.

However, the Demon Pig did not know that its monolog had been heard by Ye Chen. Ye Chen was so surprised that his mouth fell open and an incredulous expression overtook his features. There was a Demon Pig like this in this world. This Demon Pig was… A marvel!

Ye Chen did not know what kind of chaos this Demon Pig would cause in the Capital City.

Ye Chen’s Astral Body chased after the Demon Pig into Silk-washing Bridge Lane. He could practically imagine the uproarious situation in Silk-washing Bridge Lane. With the Demon Pig’s Daemon King Rank strength, even the buttocks of Great Emperor Mingwu’s wives would not escape a nuzzle.

“Being nuzzled briefly isn’t a great loss.” Ye Chen gave it some thought. Even though he was well acquainted with Great Emperor Mingwu, he could not possibly provoke a Daemon King for the sake of the buttocks of Great Emperor Mingwu’s wives.

[1] a literal translation of this character’s name would be ‘the nuzzling pig’
