Chapter 146: The Second Brother Who Became Resistant to Electricity

***

As soon as those words came out, several unmarried male villagers around suddenly lowered their heads in unison, their eyes darting around, not knowing what they were thinking.

But Lin Muyu knew exactly what they were thinking, after all, she shared the same sexual orientation as these people.

She understood just how attractive a beautiful, wealthy, and powerful fairy could be.

Unfortunately, she was now that fairy, and her working tools had been confiscated…

Wait, could it be that these people taught the little boy to say that?

The more Lin Muyu thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Her expression instantly darkened, and her tone grew colder:

“The last person who dared to lust after this sister’s body is now playing mahjong with the ghost officials in the underworld.”

“So, don’t even think about it, okay~”

The little boy was immediately frightened into a daze by these words.

He neither understood what “lusting after her body” meant, nor knew what playing mahjong was. He only felt that Sister Rain Fairy in front of him had suddenly become a bit scary.

Lin Muyu hadn’t expected the little boy to understand anyway. She was saying this for those around them to hear, warning them not to be foolish enough to bother her.

Otherwise, even if they couldn’t pose any real threat, it would still be disgusting enough.

“Alright, alright, Xiao Zhuang, stop bothering her. Study hard, and you’ll definitely become as amazing as Sister Rain Fairy in the future.”

The Village Chief noticed Lin Muyu’s expression was off and immediately came out to smooth things over.

In his heart, he actually sided with these men, after all, having Lin Muyu stay would only benefit them.

But if Lin Muyu was unwilling, they couldn’t force her. The difference in their status was like heaven and earth.

And he didn’t want to offend their village’s guardian deity either.

Just then, a huge boom suddenly came from the center of the farmland.

“BOOM!”

Everyone’s attention was instantly drawn over.

Lin Muyu looked up and saw the pig demon had forcefully crashed through a low wall by the field’s edge, sending dust flying everywhere.

Within the dust and smoke, the pig demon slowly turned around. The wounds on its body were still bleeding, dyeing its brownish-black bristles bright red.

Those originally murky eyes had now turned blood-red, and its demonic power had clearly surged up a level. The muscles on its body had also swollen somewhat.

“You’ve got to be kidding me, this demon has a second phase?”

Lin Muyu quickly activated her Insight again, and new information popped up:

【Pig Demon?

Rank: Peak of Demon Entry (temporary)

Status: Berserk (unknown cause)】

“It jumped straight to peak of Demon Entry?”

Lin Muyu’s heart sank.

Though she didn’t understand why this pig demon could temporarily increase its realm, she was very clear about the current situation.

Xiaoyun and the tree spirit couldn’t hold on anymore.

Earlier, the two at middle stage of Qi Refining could barely restrain the late-stage Demon Entry pig demon through coordination.

But now the pig demon had become peak of Demon Entry. With Xiaoyun and the tree spirit crossing two minor realms, they couldn’t possibly win without special methods.

Lin Muyu didn’t hesitate. With a flick of her wrist, the Crystal Staff instantly appeared in her hand, and she immediately charged toward the red-eyed pig demon.

“Sister!”

Xiaoyun, who was dodging, caught sight of Lin Muyu’s figure. Her eyes instantly lit up, and her tense body relaxed somewhat.

“Leave it to me.”

Lin Muyu gave Xiaoyun a reassuring look. Without stopping, she swung the Crystal Staff in her hand directly at the pig demon’s head.

This pig demon’s state was too strange, she planned to knock it out first and bring it back for research.

But the next instant, Lin Muyu felt like the staff in her hand had struck solid iron. The Crystal Staff was actually bounced right back.

She was inwardly shocked. Though it was just a casual strike, she hadn’t expected this pig demon’s hide to be so thick. After taking a hit to the head, it had only dented slightly.

Its movements weren’t affected at all.

Seeing this, some villagers couldn’t help but sidle up to the Village Chief and whisper:

“Village Chief, that pig demon seems even more powerful now. What if the fairy can’t beat it?”

They couldn’t understand cultivation realms and only felt the berserk pig demon’s aura was more frightening, so they couldn’t help worrying.

The Village Chief also frowned, his eyes fixed tightly on the direction of the fight, but he could only steel himself to reassure them:

“It should… it should be fine. Rain Fairy is so powerful…”

Though he said this, he had no confidence in his heart either.

They hadn’t even gone to seek help because they were too confident.

Lin Muyu had no time to care what the villagers thought. She was currently studying the pig demon.

That last hit didn’t work, she needed to try something else.

Watching the pig demon charge at her again, the corner of her mouth suddenly curved up in a smile.

Since physical attacks didn’t work, then she’d go with something even more physical!

She gripped the Crystal Staff tightly, and the spiritual energy within her body surged and transformed.

Pale purple electrical current instantly wrapped around the staff’s body, and the crackling sound of electricity rang out in the air.

Taking advantage of the moment when the pig demon rushed close, Lin Muyu dodged to the side to avoid the charge, then swung her staff viciously at the pig demon’s side.

The electrical current instantly spread throughout the pig demon’s entire body. Its massive body suddenly stiffened, then convulsed and fell to the ground, its four limbs still kicking continuously.

“Good! Well done!”

The villagers immediately breathed a sigh of relief and cheered one after another.

They didn’t understand the intricacies of electrical current, they only knew that the pig demon that had been so ferocious just moments ago had been taken down with one strike from the fairy. They clapped their hands one by one, their faces full of excitement.

Lin Muyu smiled with satisfaction and lifted her foot to walk toward the fallen pig demon.

“This Thunder Transformation Art really is useful, perfect for paralyzing enemies.”

Who would have thought that a cultivator with Wood Spirit Root would suddenly produce lightning from their hand?

This unexpected move always caught enemies off guard.

Currently, her lightning could only be attached to weapons. Once she became more proficient, she’d be able to use it at a distance.

But just as she walked up to the pig demon, the pig demon that had been lying on the ground convulsing suddenly snapped its eyes open!

Its blood-red eyeballs stared fixedly at Lin Muyu, then it struggled to get up, turned around, and madly rushed toward the mountain forest.

“You want to run now? Too late!”

Lin Muyu was momentarily stunned, then immediately gave chase. The Crystal Staff in her hand wrapped in electrical current again as she struck at the pig demon’s rear.

But this time, when the electrical current hit the pig demon’s body, it only made it pause for a moment. It didn’t convulse and fall like before.

“You’re kidding me, it has electrical resistance now?”

Lin Muyu frowned and simply increased her spiritual energy output. The electrical current’s color changed from pale purple to deep purple as she struck at the pig demon again.

But no matter how she attacked, after the pig demon fell it could always quickly get up and continue running. Moreover, it became more resistant to electricity each time, until eventually it completely stopped fearing the electrical current.

“Oh no you don’t, you think I won’t do anything to you?”

Lin Muyu was thoroughly enraged. The Crystal Staff in her hand instantly transformed into a gleaming Crystal Sword.

She had originally wanted to research this ‘Second Brother’ before letting it go, after all, Second Brother’s cultivation wasn’t easy either.

But now, that method for temporarily increasing one’s realm, she didn’t care about it anymore.

Now she just wanted to slaughter this pig and treat the whole village to pork!

She circulated her Foundation Establishment stage spiritual energy, and her speed instantly increased. In the blink of an eye, she caught up to the fleeing pig demon.

The Crystal Sword, carrying fierce sword energy, slashed viciously toward the pig demon’s neck.

With a “squelch” sound, the pig demon’s running instantly stopped. Its head and body, due to inertia, fell in two different directions.

Lin Muyu had been prepared. While swinging her sword, she used spiritual energy to seal the pig demon’s blood vessels. The entire cut surface was smooth and clean, not a single drop of blood splattered out.

The Crystal Sword was even cleaner, without a trace of blood on it.

“Run, go ahead and keep running.”

Lin Muyu sheathed her sword and looked at the pig demon’s corpse on the ground, her tone full of disdain.

“You dare come destroy farmland, don’t want me to research you, and still want to run? As if things could be that easy.”

But just then, the pig demon’s headless body suddenly twitched twice, as if there was still some movement.

Lin Muyu instantly became alert. She summoned the Crystal Sword again, assumed a defensive posture, and frowned:

“Don’t tell me it’s still not completely dead?”

After waiting a moment, the pig demon’s body didn’t move again. Instead, from its neck wound, a wisp of faint black qi slowly drifted out.

The black qi seemed to have life, twisting in the air a few times before drifting toward Lin Muyu.

“What is this thing?”

Only after confirming the pig demon really had stopped moving did Lin Muyu lower her sword and lean in to carefully examine the wisp of black qi, her heart full of doubt.

This black qi gave off a strange aura. It didn’t seem like the pig demon’s own demonic power, but rather like some kind of external thing.
