Immortal God of War-Chapter 75: Locked in a Pigsty_1

Dragging Fatty along, Qin Feiyang approached the three leaders.

Seeing Fatty tagging along, Ji Jin’s expression flickered. Enduring the intense pain, he said in a low voice, "Fatty, what are you doing here? Does this concern you?"

His eyes held a subtle threat.

Fatty had initially been quite nervous, but Ji Jin’s insolent attitude instantly infuriated him. He retorted, "Don’t you know? Master Fatty has a hobby: standing up for justice wherever he sees injustice!"

Ji Jin’s gaze darkened.

Beside them, Ling Yan and Lu Hong looked at Ji Jin, their eyes filled with suspicion.

Qin Feiyang scanned the three of them and sneered, "Master Fatty, let’s skip the nonsense and get straight to business."

"You got it!" Fatty chuckled, rolling up his sleeves as if preparing for a brawl.

"Ahem!" Elder Feng coughed pointedly. "If anyone dares to make a move in front of me, don’t blame this old man for dismantling their bones!"

Fatty flinched and hastily lowered his sleeves, chuckling obsequiously. "Elder Feng, it’s just a habit, I wasn’t actually going to fight! Please don’t misunderstand!"

With a dark expression, Elder Feng snapped, "If you have something to say, spit it out! Stop wasting time!"

"Alright, alright." Fatty nodded repeatedly and recounted everything he had overheard, down to the last detail.

How could Fatty know? Ling Yan’s expression changed drastically as he shot Ji Jin a silent, questioning look.

Ji Jin’s heart, however, was filled with an incomparable bitterness. Now, not only had he offended Jian Haotian, but he would also offend Cheng Yi. Why was his luck so terrible!

At this point, Fatty had recounted most of it. He looked at Luo Xiong and the other two leaders and said, "That’s the gist of it. In other words, all three of them were used as tools by Cheng Yi."

Elder Feng asked, "Then what about the Pill Furnace exploding?"

Fatty shook his head. "This disciple doesn’t know about that. You’ll have to ask Jian Haotian."

"At the time, I was fusing the Spiritual Liquid, and it was at the most critical juncture when Ling Yan suddenly yelled that his stomach hurt."

"Everyone knows this was my first time performing Alchemy. How could I withstand such a disturbance?"

"The Pill Furnace exploded, and a shard lodged in my chest, right here. It’s still there, only an inch from my heart!" Qin Feiyang declared solemnly, pointing to his chest.

The three leaders looked at Qin Feiyang’s chest, and their expressions changed dramatically.

"Why didn’t you take it out immediately? If it had shifted even an inch deeper during your fight just now, you would have died, do you understand?" Elder Feng rushed over to Qin Feiyang. Cursing angrily, he gently removed the fragment.

Qin Feiyang said, "If I had removed it, the evidence would be gone."

"You silly boy! Even if you’d removed it, the wound would still be there as evidence! We’re not fools; did you think we wouldn’t be able to tell?"

"To be so careless with your own life, you’re the worst kind of fool!" Elder Feng cursed, incensed. If he had died, wouldn’t the Alchemy world have lost a monstrous talent?

Qin Feiyang was quite touched. However, he wouldn’t have left the shard embedded in his chest if he wasn’t completely confident.

After removing the shard, Elder Feng took a healing pill from his Qiankun Bag and, without a second thought, forcefully shoved it into Qin Feiyang’s mouth.

Then, holding the shard, he turned to face Ling Yan and the other two, his expression as cold as ice.

"Do you have any idea what you’ve done?"

"Let me tell you this plainly: if Jian Haotian had died today because of you, even if we added your three lives and Cheng Yi’s together, it wouldn’t be enough to atone for his!" Elder Feng roared, his fury making his hair stand on end. It looked as if he might kill the three of them at any moment.

Ling Yan and the other two trembled violently, their faces ashen.

Fatty, on the other hand, had a keen glint in his eyes. It seems this Jian Haotian isn’t just valued; he’s exceptionally valued! This also means my choice was correct. If I had chosen to help Ling Yan and the other two, I would have definitely angered this person. The consequences would have been unthinkable!

"Hall Master, those four must be severely punished," Elder Mo suddenly interjected.

"Ling Yan and the other two certainly need severe punishment. But Jian Haotian is the victim; he nearly lost his life! And you still want to punish him severely? Mo, you old dog! Do you still have a conscience?" Elder Feng’s beard bristled as he glared and berated Elder Mo.

Elder Mo’s face darkened. He stepped forward and yelled into Elder Feng’s ear, "I was talking about Cheng Yi, not Jian Haotian! Can’t you even hear that straight? Are you a pig?"

"Uh!" Elder Feng was taken aback. "My apologies, I misunderstood you." He immediately rubbed his ears, offering Elder Mo an apologetic smile.

"Hmph!" Elder Mo snorted. Seeing Luo Xiong still in thought, he said, "Let’s do this: starting today, send those four to the pigsty to reflect for a month. And confiscate their Alchemy rooms!"

"What?"

"The pigsty!"

Ling Yan and the other two turned deathly pale with fright.

Fatty was also dumbfounded.

Luo Xiong glanced at Ling Yan’s group, frowning. "Old Mo, I agree with confiscating their Alchemy rooms, but sending them to the pigsty... isn’t that a bit too much?"

Elder Mo stated firmly, "It must be done this way, to teach them a lesson they won’t forget!"

Elder Feng chimed in, "I also agree." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Glancing at them both, Luo Xiong shook his head resignedly. "Do as you wish. Jian Haotian, from now on, you will use Cheng Yi’s Alchemy Room Number Four. And you..." Luo Xiong looked at Fatty. "What’s your name?"

Fatty quickly replied, "Reporting to the Hall Master, this disciple is Situ Tianyu."

"Situ Tianyu?" Luo Xiong paused slightly; the name sounded quite imposing, but the person... his appearance... was truly somewhat... indescribable.

"Alright, you. From now on, you can use Lu Hong’s Alchemy room," Luo Xiong instructed.

"Thank you, Hall Master!" Fatty was overjoyed and quickly bowed in gratitude.

Luo Xiong nodded, then looked at Elder Feng and Elder Mo. "You two handle the rest. I’m going to get some rest."

"Hall Master, please wait a moment," Qin Feiyang suddenly said.

"Is there something else?" Luo Xiong looked at him, puzzled.

Qin Feiyang asked, "I was wondering, does the hunting competition still count?"

"Why do you ask?" Luo Xiong was perplexed.

Qin Feiyang stated, "Because I’m confident I can take first place, and I’m waiting for my prize!"

"That confident, are you?" Luo Xiong’s interest was piqued. "Alright, alright, bring out all the Vicious Beasts you hunted on Black Bear Mountain and let me see. If you’ve hunted more than last year’s first-place winner, I’ll personally give you one million Gold Coins."

Qin Feiyang’s eyes lit up. "You’ll keep your word?"

Luo Xiong said, displeased, "Isn’t that obvious? As the dignified Hall Master of the Elixir Palace, would I go back on my word?"

Qin Feiyang said, "Then let me first clarify, how many Vicious Beasts did last year’s first-place winner hunt?"

Luo Xiong recalled for a moment. "It seems it was over a hundred, all Martial Master-level Vicious Beasts."

"That many? Well, I’m not focused on quantity, only quality." With a confident smile, Qin Feiyang waved his hand, and the corpses of five Vicious Beasts appeared before everyone.

Luo Xiong’s gaze swept over them, and his pupils constricted sharply! They were Martial Ancestor-level Vicious Beasts! Just how many more abilities did this kid have that no one knew about?

Feng Cheng and Elder Mo were also utterly astonished.

Suddenly, the three exchanged glances, then turned and walked into their respective courtyards.

"Hey, Hall Master! What about the one million Gold Coins?" Qin Feiyang called out hastily.

"When did I say I was going to give you a reward?" the Hall Master’s voice came, devoid of expression, before his courtyard door slammed shut with a BANG.

He’s going back on his word? Qin Feiyang was stunned. He then looked towards Feng Cheng and Elder Mo.

SLAM! SLAM!

The two of them also closed their courtyard doors without a word.

"Gu Eight, Ho Five, Elder Mo and I are tired and wish to rest early. You deal with Cheng Yi and the others," Feng Cheng’s voice drifted from behind his door.

"Yes," Gu Eight and Ho Five replied respectfully, bowing.

Veins throbbed on Qin Feiyang’s forehead as he fumed, "Not only do you renege on your word, but all three of you do it together! Don’t you have any dignity as elders?"

Luo Xiong and the other two hid silently behind their doors, their faces filled with embarrassment. This time, they had truly been humiliated. And they really couldn’t figure out how this kid had managed to hunt those five Vicious Beasts.

Gu Eight approached Qin Feiyang and bowed. "I truly apologize for misunderstanding you earlier."

"It’s alright, you were just doing your duty," Qin Feiyang said with a slight smile.

Gu Eight said, "Then rest well and recover. Continue to work hard on your Alchemy, and don’t disappoint the expectations of the Hall Master and the two Elders."

"I will," Qin Feiyang nodded with a smile.

"Ho Five, take them. Let’s go." Gu Eight picked up Ji Jin and turned to leave.

Ho Five also grabbed Ling Yan and Lu Hong, gave Qin Feiyang a friendly nod, and quickly followed.

"They’re finally gone." Fatty let out a long breath. He appeared relaxed on the surface, but inwardly, he was still very tense.

"Let’s go too," Qin Feiyang said to Fatty, storing the five Vicious Beast corpses. He didn’t press the issue of the reward any further. After all, the three leaders had helped him considerably.

Fatty quickly scurried after him, chuckling. "The esteemed Hall Master of the Elixir Palace, actually breaking his promise so easily. If word of this got out, I wonder how many people would laugh their heads off."

Qin Feiyang warned, "I’m warning you, you’d better not spread this around."

"Don’t worry, Master Fatty knows discretion." Fatty couldn’t stop his猥琐 (obscene/sleazy - needs naturalization) laughter, a lewd grin on his face that made one want to slap him. (Let’s rephrase "猥琐 laughter" to "smirked repulsively" or "chuckled sleazily". "grinned repulsively" is good for 猥琐 here).

Fatty couldn’t stop laughing, his grin so lewd it made one want to slap him.

"What is a ’pigsty’?" Qin Feiyang asked in a low voice.

At the mention of this, Fatty shook with laughter. "A pigsty is a place where pigs are kept."

"The Elixir Palace keeps pigs?" Qin Feiyang was astonished.

Fatty replied, "Yes, but not for eating. They’re specifically used to punish disciples."

Qin Feiyang couldn’t help but smile. Cheng Yi and the other three were all arrogant individuals. Sending them to a pigsty for an entire month would be a punishment worse than death for them. Of course, he found it quite satisfying.

Fatty said mischievously, "The pigsty is in a corner over by the Elixir Fire Palace. Want to go take a look?"

Qin Feiyang shook his head. "No, I’m going to practice Alchemy."

"What’s the rush? It won’t be too late to practice Alchemy after we take a look. Come on, don’t you want to see Cheng Yi’s expression when he enters the pigsty with your own eyes?" Fatty dragged him along, snickering.

Qin Feiyang forcefully broke free and shook his head. "I’m really not going. They don’t deserve any more of my time. If you want to go, go by yourself. Just let me know what happens when you get back."

Fatty said, disappointed, "You really are a busy man. Fine, I’ll go by myself. I’ll find you in the Alchemy Room later."

Qin Feiyang nodded.

Fatty, despite his bulk, moved quickly and disappeared into the night.

"I hope you all learn your lesson from this. Otherwise, next time, it won’t be settled so easily!" Qin Feiyang muttered to himself, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he walked straight towards the Elixir Fire Palace.
