Chapter 130 Can we win?

Qi Fei wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he suddenly stopped, raised an eyebrow slightly, and said thoughtfully, "You and your young lady—are from the Three Seas Society."

The little pig nodded with teary eyes: "Yes."

Qi Fei added, "Most of these pregnant women seem to have arrived here riding the giant loach from the Three Seas Society."

The little pig's expression remained unchanged, still bearing its憨憨 (simple and honest) look, and its tone was remarkably natural: "I don't know either—but they paid for the boat, so we can't just not let them board, can we?"

Qi Fei pondered for a moment, his gaze slightly narrowed, and he said to himself, "They killed the young lady of the Three Seas Society, and then rode the Three Seas Society's giant loach to participate in this so-called 'Descent of the Divine Child'."

""

He paused, a hint of amusement in his voice: "Why does it feel...so strange?"

The little pig was sweating profusely, almost dripping down his forehead.

It quickly approached and rubbed its furry body against Qi Fei's leg, saying urgently, "Boss, why don't we just ask on the ship?"

"Perhaps—perhaps those people on the ship had no idea that Miss was dead!"

Before it could finish speaking, its voice choked again, its eyes reddened, and it began to sob, "My lady—she died so tragically—"

Qi Fei thought about it and decided not to rule out that possibility.

He released the flying boat, leaped into the cabin, and steered it towards the harbor by the sea.

The journey there was slow, taking a whole day; but the return trip was lightning fast, taking only half a day, and then we could see that familiar sea goby in the distance.

The airship landed on the deck of the giant sea eel.

As soon as the piglet landed, it ran crying to the captain and first mate, recounting in broken sentences how the young lady had been murdered.

Upon hearing this, the people on the boat looked at each other in astonishment, speechless for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the entire boat was thrown into chaos and activity.

Some rushed off to deliver messages, some frantically searched for communication devices, and some, sweating profusely, contacted the Chamber of Commerce headquarters.

The message was passed up the chain of command, and everyone looked grim.

The death of a young lady from the Sanhai Society is a huge tragedy.

Qi Fei stood calmly to the side, watching them busily working away.

After a moment, he suddenly spoke up: "Since this pig was your young lady's pet, and she's no longer here—why not give it to me?"

Upon hearing this, the captain looked troubled: "This—"

Qi Fei waved his hand, his tone somewhat forceful: "After all, I'm the one who saved it, so I won't mistreat it."

The captain hesitated, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. The man before him was, in name, the benefactor who had saved the little pig and delivered the news of the young lady's death.

But in reality—

In reality, the pig in front of you isn't a pig at all.

The situation before our eyes is not what it seems on the surface at all.

The little pig was quite clever at this moment, and quickly came over, rubbing its fluffy body against Qi Fei's leg. It looked up, its little eyes full of dependence: "I want to follow the boss, the boss can bring me safety!"

The captain looked at the little pig's devoted expression, weighed the pros and cons, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I'll talk to the chairman for a moment—"

This is no small matter. If Miss Sanhai is going to give away her pet, she should at least inform the president.

Qi Fei didn't say anything more, picked up the little pig, and took it back to his private room.

Once the door is closed, the noise outside is shut out.

Qi Fei placed the piglet on the table, but instead of sitting down, he stood there, looking down at it with a deep, thoughtful gaze.

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

The little pig tilted its head back with a half-smile, the corners of its mouth slightly upturned, making it impossible to tell whether it was genuinely adorable or just putting on an act.

It blinked and asked, "Boss, what are you thinking about?"

Qi Fei didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I'm wondering, what are you?"

The little pig in front of me isn't a demon, it looks more like a monster.

Upon hearing this, the pig's smile finally faded. It remained silent for a moment, as if considering its words, or perhaps hesitating whether to tell the truth.

Finally, it sighed softly, its voice trailing off.

"You have a good eye, boss."

"Have you ever heard of this, sir? —"

Qi Fei raised an eyebrow slightly but did not reply.

The little pig said, "It is recorded in the 'Eastern Mountain Classic'. Five hundred li further south is called Ying Mountain. Looking north, one sees Juqu, and looking east, one sees Zhu. There is a beast there, which looks like a pig but has a pearl. It is called Gou Gou, and its cry is self-reproaching."

"Like a pig but containing a pearl" means that the body is like a pig, but the body contains a precious pearl.

The little pig raised a tiny hoof and gently tapped its belly, saying, "I am that dog. But I am not yet an adult, and the pearl has not yet formed inside me."

"Then I'll believe it for now." Qi Fei nodded.

Upon hearing this, the little pig immediately said, "Boss! What do you mean by 'for the time being'? I'm telling the truth!"

"Honest people never say they are honest," Qi Fei said.

He already has a "sword" by his side who thinks he's very honest.

On the other side, in the cargo hold at the very bottom of the Great Loach, there is a mysterious altar connected to the sea.

The captain, the first mate, and another person were discussing something around the altar.

The person emerged from a pool deep within the ship's cabin that connected to the sea.

When he emerged, he was completely dry; the ocean was his support, as was the support of the Three Seas Society.

This man was a priest on the island of gods. He was pale and had bloodshot eyes, clearly in a state of extreme anger.

A day earlier, he and the other priests were blasted senseless by Qi Fei's thunder magic and watched helplessly as Qi Fei snatched away the Celestial Venerable.

His first words were filled with rage: "It was him! He's the one who interrupted the ceremony and stole the Celestial Venerable!"

He slammed his fist on the edge of the altar, gritting his teeth as he said, "The Celestial Venerable was forced to take human form and cannot return to the Divine Kingdom! We must bring the Celestial Venerable back to this altar and reopen the path to the Divine Kingdom!"

The captain frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I have already sent someone to report this matter to the chairman. This round trip will take at least three to five days."

The first mate nodded in agreement, saying, "For now, the only thing we can do is keep him calm and prevent him from harming the Heavenly Venerable."

"Never alert the enemy."

The priest bit his lip, his gaze shifting back and forth in the dimly lit cargo hold. Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him, and he hurriedly said, "Let those believers on the island cause trouble! Let them use their influence to make things difficult for the Great Sea Loach!"

He spoke faster and faster, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "As long as there are enemies outside, chaos will surely ensue on the ship. At that time, Captain, you can take Luffy and hide in the cabin—hide, lead him, and wouldn't that naturally lead him to this altar?"

As long as Qi Fei steps into the area of ​​the altar, the Celestial Venerable can take the opportunity to return to the divine realm.

After listening, the captain looked at the priest and asked a crucial question: "The problem is the trouble they've brought upon us—"

"Can you beat that guy?"
