Chapter 21: Young Man, Are You Interested in Making a Contract with a Pig?

"By the way!"

The voice of Hua Zhongxian suddenly became more enthusiastic and asked, "Young man, are you interested in making a contract with a pig?"

"What?" Ye Xiyun widened his eyes. "Are you kidding me?"

I'm a transmigrator, after all. Are transmigrators treated so poorly now? When someone transmigrates, the first spiritual beast they contract should be a divine dragon, phoenix, or qilin, or at least a top-tier spiritual beast like a howling moon sky wolf. But here I am, and I'm being asked if I want to make a contract with a pig?

Is it possible that I'm not the main character in this story? Why do I feel like I'm not getting any protagonist treatment?

"Don't be too quick to reject it," Hua Zhongxian said. "Let me explain. This might be an opportunity for you."

"Sister, you better explain it to me," Ye Xiyun said. "We share honor and disgrace, and you can't deceive me, right?"

"Of course, I won't deceive you," Hua Zhongxian said. "You see, for now, your Immortal Martial Body is still relatively unknown, and with your low-level Five Elements spiritual root, you don't have an advantage in cultivation. At the Tianxuan Sect, it's unlikely that you'll get good cultivation resources. Even if you encounter some precious spiritual beast cubs, it probably won't be your turn to make a contract with them. Moreover, with your low-level Five Elements spiritual root and mediocre talent, forcefully contracting a high-level spiritual beast could backfire. This bloodline-reverting demonic beast might actually be your chance."

"But isn't this bloodline-reverting demonic beast just a regular demonic beast?" Ye Xiyun asked. "Sister, even if I can't contract a top-tier spiritual beast in the future, do I really need to make a contract with a low-level demonic beast like this?"

"What if this demonic beast can evolve into a spiritual beast?" Hua Zhongxian suggested.

"What?" Ye Xiyun's heart skipped a beat.

"Among these little piglets, there must be one whose bloodline far exceeds the racial limit of this wild boar demonic beast," Hua Zhongxian explained. "As long as you can take that piglet with you, with my knowledge, I can find several evolution paths for you. If you can gather the materials required for evolution, you can cultivate that piglet into a spiritual beast."

"Hmm? Can I do that with a fox instead?" Ye Xiyun asked.

"What are you thinking?" Hua Zhongxian said. "Without bloodline reversion, do you think just any demonic beast has the potential to evolve into a spiritual beast?"

"But..." Ye Xiyun hesitated.

Making a contract with a pig...

In novels, when other protagonists make their debut, they either ride a soaring eagle, exuding heroism, or stride on a majestic wolf with dignity, or have a dragon wrapped around them, showing strength, or are accompanied by a fierce tiger, intimidating all sides.

And here, when it's the crucial moment for the protagonist's debut, a dashing youth arrives riding a pig...

It should be a time to enjoy the admiration and respect of thousands of young girls. But when you're sitting on a pig's back, what kind of image can you have?

Do I have no sense of dignity?

"Why are you still hesitating?" Hua Zhongxian asked. "Cultivating a spiritual beast is much faster than cultivating yourself. I estimate that even before you reach the Ninth Meridian of the Meridian Opening Realm, I can help you cultivate this pig to the Gathered Stream Realm. Imagine the tremendous boost it would provide!"

"I feel like you're insulting me more than a pig!" Ye Xiyun said with a conflicted expression.

"I'm asking if you want to do it or not," Hua Zhongxian asked.

"Strength can be cultivated over time, but being handsome is a lifetime thing!" Ye Xiyun remarked.

"Of course, you can choose not to make a contract," Hua Zhongxian said. "After all, as long as you raise it properly, it should be fine."

"Raising it properly may not be easy, but cooking it properly is quite simple," Ye Xiyun joked.

"What did you say?" Hua Zhongxian asked.

"Nothing, I was just asking how to do it," Ye Xiyun quickly responded.

Initially, Ye Xiyun was considering accepting the offer. After all, riding a pig is not a big deal. For men, besides being strong, there's another important quality—being charming.

Being charming!

Just think about it. When a villain is about to harm a beautiful girl who can't defend herself, at the moment of her despair, a clear, deep, and magnetic voice echoes from the forest behind: "Let go of that girl!"

Hearing that voice, the girl's heart races, and she thinks, "This is a hero who has come to rescue me. He's a chivalrous and righteous person who will surely want nothing in return, except, perhaps, my hand in marriage." She has already planned a hundred and one ways to repay him.

But then, a shadow emerges from the forest, and a massive wild boar pins down the villain, causing him to cough up blood like a whale spouting water. It's a spectacular sight. And on the back of the wild boar is a dashing young hero in white robes, like a gallant swordsman.

The girl can't help but bow in gratitude. Shouldn't she at least kowtow to thank him for saving her life?

Thinking about it this way, making a contract with a wild boar doesn't seem so bad!

As for what you said about having a peach blossom luck, is that more important than a man's charm? Just like a woman who doesn't believe in light, how can she qualify to accompany you? A woman who can't even win over a wild boar rider is not worthy of offering herself to someone like me!

However, since Hua Zhongxian said it's optional, Ye Xiyun decided not to make the contract. After all, he can be charming for a while, but being charming for a lifetime is another matter. With his talent, he can't cultivate to become an immortal as a single man.

Oh, the thought of having to maintain a harem for the sake of cultivation is causing Ye Xiyun some inexplicable sadness.

"Let's go, first, find some herbs nearby," Hua Zhongxian said. "There should be some low-level spirit herbs on this mountain. Although you can't refine pills, I know some combinations of herbs that you can directly mix and consume to help replenish your energy and heal your injuries. And that wild boar is a demonic beast, so as long as it replenishes its energy, it should recover quickly. You saved the wild boar, and by preparing some herbal elixirs for those little piglets, with the intelligence of a first-level demonic beast, you might genuinely win their friendship."

"Let's go!" Ye Xiyun said, shouldering his spear and began searching the forest outside the cave.
