I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 14 Chameleon

"How scary, Grandma! That monster has a long tongue."

Pidan gestured with his dirty little hands, his eyes still glistening with tears, but his expression wasn't as frightened as before, probably because Mengqi was by his side.

Pidan is Meng Zichen's son, one year younger than Meng Qi. When he was two years old, his mother ran away with someone, so Meng Zichen had no choice but to send him back to Yunmeng Village to be raised by his parents.

This kid was a late talker; he didn't start calling people until he was three, and now at four, he still can't speak in complete sentences. He's been teased by the village kids a lot because of it.

However, no one dared to laugh at him in front of Meng Qi, because Meng Qi would start hitting him without warning, and even a ten-year-old child could be beaten until he cried.

The little girl's thinking was very simple. This was her grand-nephew. How could he bully her grandson in front of her? Did he think she was dead?
Therefore, Pidan feels very safe around Mengqi, even safer than when he is with his grandparents and father.

Because as long as his great-aunt is around, no one dares to bully him.

"Where is the monster? Take me to see it."

"There, there." Pidan pointed towards the back of his grandparents' house, eager to take Mengqi there. In his eyes, his great-aunt was invincible and could defeat any demon or monster.

Meng Ziyang grabbed Meng Qi, glanced at Pi Dan, and leaned closer to whisper, "You actually believe that?"

"Why not believe me? Pidan never lies," Mengqi said with certainty.

Upon hearing this, Pidan puffed out his little chest proudly and raised his chin at Meng Ziyang, "Uncle, I'm telling the truth."

"Okay, okay, you're telling the truth, it's true."

Meng Ziyang rolled his eyes and resignedly followed the two of them to the back of the house.

There is a vegetable garden behind the house, and a pigsty not far away next to it.

The old sow raised by Grandpa and Grandma Pidan gave birth to eight piglets five days ago, four white and four spotted, but now there are only six left in the pigpen, two white and four spotted.

However, apart from the old sow and six piglets, there was nothing else in the pigpen.

"Where's the monster?"

Meng Ziyang asked Pidan with schadenfreude, knowing that the guy was talking nonsense.

"Yes, yes"

Pidan raised his arm and wiped the snot off his face with his sleeve. His eyes scanned the pigpen, finally settling on the blue brick wall inside.

He stared intently, his eyes unblinking.

Meng Qi followed his gaze to the wall. At first glance, she couldn't see anything, but upon closer inspection, she vaguely felt that the wall was moving.

Meng Qi was stunned.

"Grandma, it, it, it changes color."

Meng Qi stared at the wall and reached out to the side, "Zi Yang, get me a brick."

Meng Ziyang bent down, picked up a small piece from the ground, turned around and put it in Meng Qi's hand. Then he also leaned over the pigpen wall and looked at the wall strangely.

Is there really something there?
I don't see anything. Could monsters also perform magic?

Whether it could perform magic or not, Meng Qi didn't know, but she took the brick and smashed it against the wall.

With a loud "bang," the brick slammed into the wall, then fell to the ground and rolled twice to the sow's side.

The sow, who was cuddling her piglets while they slept, grunted twice and then fell silent again, the lazy pig not even opening its eyes. But the three little ones were no longer paying attention to the sow; they all stared wide-eyed in shock at the child who had to expose himself in the pigpen to avoid the bricks.

No, no, no, that's not a child.

The creature was about the same size as a preserved egg, and wore the same clothes as a preserved egg, but its face was green, its mouth was very big, its eyes bulged out like a frog's, and there was a bluish-triangular thing on its head with what looked like tentacles moving on it. It looked disgusting.

What's even more disgusting is that its belly is swollen, and there are things wriggling inside.

Meng Qi was the first to react. She spread her arms and pushed Meng Ziyang and Pidan, who were standing on either side of her, back, and whispered to them, "Stand back, don't get in the way."

This was the first time she had encountered such a small but unusual-looking monster, completely different from the large green snake and other things her master had tested her with before.

But she didn't underestimate the other party.

Master said that those who know magic are all cunning, and the smaller their bodies are, the longer they live.

They've become sentient and can mimic people, so they're definitely more cunning than those stupid creatures that only rely on brute force.

Meng Ziyang pulled the preserved egg backward, while Meng Qi in front of him jumped over the pigpen wall in a flash, and then darted into the pigpen at an even faster speed.

At the same time, the green-faced little monster opened its mouth wide, and a fleshy tongue shot towards Meng Qi like lightning.

Meng Qi dodged to the side, and with a grab of her right hand, a specially made small pig-slaughtering knife appeared out of thin air.

Upon seeing the weapon appear in the other's hand, the green-faced little monster quickly retracted its tongue and turned to run away.

But the pigpen was cramped and narrow. Mengqi blocked one side, leaving the sow and piglets on the other. In a panic, she ran out, stepping on the sow's belly.

Meng Qi thrust a sharp knife straight at its back chest. Suddenly, its pants ripped open, and a thin green tail lashed out like a whip. Meng Qi didn't dodge; instead, she swung her knife horizontally. With a ripping sound, the tail was severed and fell to the ground curled up.

"Ow"

The little demon cried out in pain, startling Meng Ziyang and Pidan who were hiding in the distance.

“Go, go and call Ninth Master. Tell him that your great-aunt is fighting with a pig here, that your pig has gone mad, and that he should bring a knife.”

Meng Ziyang had never seen such a monster before. Fearing that Meng Qi would be at a disadvantage, he pushed Pi Dan and told him to go and call for help. He then gripped the wooden stick he had just found, intending to go and help if things went wrong.

Pidan turned and ran away.

He knew he couldn't be of much help here. Although he believed that his great-aunt was so powerful that she could definitely defeat the monster, since his uncle had said so, he decided to listen to his uncle for now.

Anyway, if Ninth Grandfather is around, my great-aunt will definitely not suffer any losses.

Just as Pidan ran away, the little demon was angrily attacking Mengqi with its tongue. But to its surprise, the human cub's dodging speed was ridiculously fast, beyond its comprehension.

The little demon felt even more terrified.

This fair-skinned, sweet-smelling little cub is different from the one that ran away earlier. She is very strong; she is the strongest person it has ever seen since it came here.

Three days ago, it stole and ate a newborn baby in a small village 10 kilometers away from here. Because it was afraid of being discovered and caught, it quickly ran away after eating it.

I came here the day before yesterday to rest in the pigsty, and I got hungry and ate two piglets. What's wrong with that? Is it too much?
As for the chicks that were being given a treat, it didn't take them seriously at all.

It had its eye on the little cub that had just run away, planning to eat it when it got dark and no one was looking.

But before it could even make a move, this wicked little thing actually brought in helpers.
Good afternoon!
