Chapter 1446: Chapter 379: Are the Pigs All Acting for Me?!

Yuchi walked in the deep mountain forest. He wasn’t in a hurry to hunt; it was better to first avoid attracting attention from others. He overheard two people talking, and his expression turned rather peculiar upon hearing their conversation.

Standing in front of a small tree, he looked at two little birds that were staring at him from the tree, and he couldn’t help but laugh to himself.

"If the issue is supposed to be solved within an hour and then she would get an elixir, maybe it’s best not to stir up any trouble now. I’ll lay low for a bit."

"After all, I’ve just arrived here, unfamiliar with the place. If I start messing around right away, it might concern the entire camp’s safety. Since others live here permanently and I am just a passerby, I shouldn’t disrupt the place’s functioning for my own benefit."

"So I’ll head back after an hour. No need to rush—maybe in an hour and a half. After that, I’ll catch a wild boar and bring it back. This way, Lin Qing won’t lose face excessively, and Zhao Feiyun can chat with Lin Qing."

Yuchi’s thought process was pretty simple. If Lin Qing can indeed be with Zhao Feiyun, his interference wouldn’t make much of a difference.

And if Zhao Feiyun can really win over Lin Qing, there’s no need for such little tricks.

For now, Yuchi thought the odds were quite uncertain.

Yuchi planned to find a place to hide, but just as the thought crossed his mind, he suddenly saw two wild boars appearing in front of him.

The two wild boars ran straight toward him.

Yuchi: "..."

"Hey, Brother Two, don’t deliver like this. Can you guys stay further away, instead of rushing right to my face like you’re delivering pig heads?"

Feeling quite speechless, Yuchi decided not to take direct action and just pretended not to see. He figured he could just let them run off, and no one would know he had deliberately let them go.

"Yep, I’ll just let them go. No big deal."

He stepped aside, appreciatively watching the two small wild boars ahead. Neither boar was very big, about half a meter tall, with one being a male and the other a female.

The female boar was larger than the male. The female boar led the chase, with the male trailing, both making soft grunting sounds as they hurried along the slightly winding mountain path.

Their hair flowed in the breeze, and the boars’ faces radiated happiness.

Yuchi felt very satisfied, leaning against a tree with his arms crossed, watching the two wild boars approximately ten yards away.

The wild boars ran merrily, one chasing and the other being chased.

Observing this in such a remote mountain forest is akin to a romantic scene where you are the wind and I am the sand, wandering endlessly.

"Very nice. If in my next life I could be a wild boar, it wouldn’t be bad. Wild boars have a strong attack power, good reproduction capabilities, and great environmental resistance."

"But if I were to become a wild boar, better not be a boar of this era, which isn’t a protected species. Being a boar from a previous era would be better."

"And while you’re running, could you please see ahead? It’s dangerous to turn your head while playing."

"Hey, sister!"

"Sister wild boar, pay attention to the road, sister."

Yuchi’s face gradually became a bit tense, initially watching the wild boars run.

For reasons unknown, the two wild boars suddenly lost their senses and charged straight toward him.

First, one boar crashed into a tree, while the other stumbled over a rock by the roadside, smashing into another tree.

Both boars fell, apparently knocked out.

Yuchi: "???"

Staring at the boars lying on the ground, still grunting loudly even in their final moments, Yuchi was utterly amazed.

"Brother, sister, are you really just jesters sent by monkeys?"

"What are you doing? Do you not watch the road when running away?"

"Have you not noticed all the obstacles atop the mountain? You ran full throttle chasing each other, what’s that about?"

Yuchi had heard of "waiting for rabbits by a tree," but this was his first time seeing someone "waiting for pigs by a tree."

Outside, Lin Qing and Zhao Feiyun heard the wild boars’ cries; Lin Qing’s face lit up with glee. She couldn’t help but tell the astonished Zhao Feiyun, "Let’s go have a look at how many wild boars he caught."

"I already told Brother Zhao, despite looking scholarly, he’s somewhat dependable at crucial moments. Though he hasn’t caught much game, he’s also at the third level of Qi Refining Stage. With more elixirs and diligent cultivation, he could reach the Foundation Establishment Stage."
