328: Chapter 322 Fierce Blade Eats Pig 328: Chapter 322 Fierce Blade Eats Pig During the journey back to Liuhua Alley, because of the pig situation, Chen Hai had specifically called Xiang Dong.
Returning from the Black Stone Reservoir, this trip took two to three hours.
He arrived home just as dusk was setting in.
If he hadn’t arranged this matter ahead of time, did he think he could go and buy a pig at the last moment after getting back?
That would certainly be too hasty.
“Boss…” Xiang Dong, listless, followed behind Ye Qingqing.
Upon seeing Chen Hai, he quickly approached and greeted him.
It seemed that before Chen Hai returned, as he had rushed a few pigs into the yard, Ye Qingqing had likely spared no opportunity to complain.
“Godfather!”
“Godfather!”
Bai Xiaofeng and Bai Xiaoyu, these two siblings, also rarely came over today.
Compared to the first time they met, they both looked much more spirited.
Their clothes, although not branded, were clean and tidy.
When they greeted Chen Hai, each of them held a bamboo stick in their hand.
In this courtyard, there were many flowers and plants, and initially, to set these up, Xiang Dong had put in a lot of effort.
Yet now, Xiang Dong had brought over four pigs.
To prevent these animals from running wild and chewing everywhere in the yard, aside from Xiang Dong himself, the siblings Bai Xiaofeng and Bai Xiaoyu had also put in a lot of effort in this matter.
“Xiaofeng, Xiaoyu, did you two not go to class today?”
Upon seeing the siblings, Chen Hai was slightly startled, then nodded and smiled at them, casually asking.
With Ye Qingqing’s connections, the matter of their schooling had already been early taken care of.
In a neighborhood near the school, she had also arranged accommodations for the two of them.
His girlfriend was naturally kind-hearted.
After learning from Bai Xiaohang how pitiful the siblings’ childhood was, her decision to take them in as godchildren was indeed driven by compassion.
She wanted to do a good deed, and Chen Hai naturally wouldn’t say much!
The matter of having godchildren, he had just gone along with it.
As for Bai Xiaofeng and Bai Xiaoyu’s academic performances?
Not to mention that for now, but at least, they were quite sensible.
Usually, if they had time, they would occasionally come to Chen Hai’s siheyuan.
When they saw any household chores, they did not need anyone to tell them; they would rush to do it.
“Today is Saturday, Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu don’t have classes!”
“Originally, they came over to help me tidy up the courtyard.”
“But then?
Halfway through, Xiang Dong brought over a few pigs.”
“The flowers and plants, although ruined, are one thing, but just smell at the entrance of this courtyard—isn’t there a stench of pig manure!”
Annoyed, Ye Qingqing glared at Chen Hai and muttered with a pout.
“Qingqing, about the pigs, it’s not Xiang Dong’s fault, I actually instructed him to do this!”
“I really have a significant use for bringing these creatures here.”
Chen Hai chuckled dryly and explained.
Considering that there were two children here, he was concerned about the matter being too gruesome, so he didn’t elaborated further but leaned closer to Ye Qingqing and whispered a few words in her ear.
“This…
really?” Incredulous, Ye Qingqing also blinked.
“True?
False?
We’ll find out soon.”
With an inscrutable expression, Chen Hai nodded with a smile.
He looked at the two children and Xiang Dong, and after a moment of thought, he instructed, “Dong, could you please take Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu home first?”
As to how the Hongming Blade devours pigs, Chen Hai wasn’t quite sure yet.
However, he felt it was better to spare the children from witnessing such an event.
Xiang Dong could have been of some help had he stayed.
Unfortunately, his girlfriend was very enthusiastic and interested in the matter of the Fierce Blade Hongming.
Therefore, with no other choice, he had to trouble Xiang Dong to take the children back to their place first.
“Xiaofeng, Xiaoyu, your godfather and godmother have some matters to attend to, let Uncle Xiang take you home first!”
“I will come over tomorrow, and we can go out for a good stroll together.”
While Chen Hai was giving instructions to Xiang Dong, Ye Qingqing also began advising the children with a smile.
Both had agreed, so naturally, neither Xiang Dong, Bai Xiaofeng, nor Bai Xiaoyu objected.
Once Xiang Dong and the children had left, Chen Hai shut the large courtyard gate, and his gaze finally settled on the Hongming Blade he had been carrying.
The courtyard in Liuhua Alley was spacious, but it certainly didn’t contain any pig pens.
The four pigs brought over by Xiang Dong couldn’t possibly be kept inside the rooms and could only wander freely in the yard.
Before Xiang Dong and the children had left, their presence kept the havoc wrought by the pigs relatively minimal.
But now, two of the pigs had even started rolling directly in the beautifully groomed flower beds.
“Chen Hai, where’s your blade?
Hurry up and bring it out!”
“I’ve painstakingly taken care of these flower beds, and these beasts have ruined them.
Hurry up and let your blade devour these two pigs!”
A woman’s curiosity could kill a cat.
Though curious, Ye Qingqing still looked pained, her eyes wide as she urged Chen Hai.
“Um,” he nodded and chuckled lightly.
He patted the Hongming Blade, which was still wrapped in cloth, “Master Hongming, wake up, it’s dinner time!”
These were just a few jesting words, and Chen Hai wasn’t sure if the Hongming Blade would respond.
But no sooner had he spoken than the blade in his hand began to tremble visibly!
“Pfft…” several times.
The cloth wrapping around the blade burst instantly into shreds and tatters, scattering all over the ground.
The next moment, the Hongming Blade, initially in Chen Hai’s grip, slipped from his control and hovered in front of him.
It seemed to identify its target, as it twirled around.
Then, the blade twisted, and transformed into a blood-colored Cloud Magpie the size of a palm, flying directly above the heads of the two pigs in the flower beds.
The two pigs, originally rolling around, stood up swiftly.
As if facing their worst nightmare, clear terror and fear were visible in the eyes of both pigs.
When the blood-colored Cloud Magpie, transformed from the Hongming Blade, genuinely landed on one of the live pig’s head.
From their position, Chen Hai and Ye Qingqing could clearly see a large porker, weighing over two hundred kilograms, visibly starting to shrink in size.
Just like the squeals heard when slaughtering pigs during the New Year, which lasted less than a few dozen seconds, they soon became completely silent.
The other pig, still perfectly intact and visibly terrified to the extreme, obediently lay down, seemingly not daring to resist in front of the Hongming Blade.
“This blade is terrifying!” Witnessing this scene, Ye Qingqing’s face uncontrollably turned pale.
As these words left her mouth, she felt as if her teeth were chattering.
Especially at the moment just now, when the Hongming Blade was suspended in air and twirling around, an odd thought of sacrificing her own flesh and blood had abruptly arisen within her.
