Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Pill Devouring, I am the True Path of the Tang Sect

"What were you doing just now? What was that screaming about?"

At this moment, the middle-aged man rushed over, his face full of dissatisfaction, and said.

"I'm sorry, butler. I made a mistake just now, and the pig squealed."

The butcher hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, explaining that wealthy families like this had rules for slaughtering pigs, one of which was to prevent the pigs from screaming in pain.

On the one hand, it's a joyous occasion for others, and the pig's squealing is a bad omen; on the other hand, it's also very noisy.

"The guests haven't arrived yet this time, so it's fine. But if there's a next time, I'll have to deduct your pay."

After giving Qin Qi a few words of reprimand, the butler saw him butchering a pig and was slightly surprised by the smooth movements.

"Is this your new apprentice? His skills are quite good."

"It is the butler's voice," the butler began.

"I'd like to take them in, but I'm not qualified."

The butcher chuckled twice and spoke.

“You’re the top butcher in our city, you…”

"Butler, butler."

"coming."

The butler had intended to say a few words to the butcher, but someone called him as soon as he opened his mouth, so he had no choice but to hurry off to deal with the situation.

In the following period, everything went smoothly under Qin Qi's leadership, until the end.

"The screams just now came from here."

"That sounds terrifying!"

"Is this a pig being slaughtered? It looks so bloody!"

Some children around eleven or twelve years old followed the sound and stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking inside.

After realizing that someone was slaughtering a pig, they covered their mouths in disgust, as if they could smell the blood and stench.

"The blood is all over the place, it's disgusting."

"Look, there's a little kid here. He's butchering a pig."

"The blood is all over his hands, how disgusting!"

"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't touch that pig!"

The children watched the situation in the yard and discussed it incessantly, their voices not lowered, so the butcher and his men could hear them clearly.

Listening to these people's discussions, the butcher couldn't help but turn to look at Qin Qi, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But Qin Qi was only six years old, still a child. The butcher was worried that Qin Qi wouldn't be able to bear being told something disgusting by other children.

Qin Qi didn't care at all about what the children were saying. What was there to care about the words of a bunch of brats who had never even seen blood?

Qin Qi continued slaughtering the pig, his movements still clean and efficient. The chatter of the little kids outside gradually subsided as they watched Qin Qi's actions.

Watching Qin Qi's incredibly smooth knife strikes, they suddenly found it quite fun, and they also had an urge to try it themselves.

"Slaughtering a pig doesn't seem that difficult, it's quite simple."

"Yeah, I feel like I could do it too."

"He's too slow. If I were in his shoes, I could definitely do it much faster."

"I think I shouldn't have made that cut just now; I should have cut around the bone."

The classic saying is that those who watch the spectacle know more than those who actually do it; the classic saying is, "I could do that too." Watching the spectacle is the same in every world.

"What are you doing? The banquet is about to start, why are you still playing around here?"

"Hurry up and come with me to greet the guests."

At this moment, a more mature-looking teenager walked over and scolded the playful children.

He then glanced into the courtyard and was immediately stunned.

"Junior Brother Qin Qi, what are you doing?"

Boss Xiao looked at Qin Qi, who was slaughtering a pig inside, and was a little confused. He asked a question.

"Hey, isn't this Senior Xiao? What a coincidence to run into him here."

Qin Qi looked at Boss Xiao and smiled. The person in front of him was the Boss Xiao, a graduate of the sixth grade.

He was one of the group of people who were defeated by Qin Qi during their graduation sparring session.

Chapter 39 Qin Qi: City people are really too wicked!

"Yes, it is a bit of a coincidence."

"But Junior Brother Qin, why are you doing this kind of work? You're a Soul Master!"

Boss Xiao frowned as he watched Qin Qi slaughtering the pig. He knew Qin Qi was a work-study student.

Even so, he shouldn't have to be reduced to slaughtering pigs, he's a Soul Master!

"It's just a job, it has nothing to do with whether you're a Soul Master or not."

Qin Qi smiled and spoke nonchalantly.

“Junior, you…”

Boss Xiao took two steps forward, intending to walk to Qin Qi's side, but stopped when he saw the scene in the courtyard.

A slight look of disdain appeared on his face. As the son of the city lord, he had been pampered since childhood.

I've never been involved in anything like slaughtering pigs before.

"Junior, come here for a second, I have something to tell you."

Boss Xiao waved to Qin Qi and spoke.

"Senior, you can't be that bad. You've hunted soul beasts before, you can't even stand a little bloodshed, can you?"

Qin Qi smiled and walked over, speaking to him.

"It's not that I can't stand it, it's just that... never mind, let's not talk about this."

"Junior, I wanted to tell you that if you need money, I can give it to you."

Boss Xiao looked at the bloody scene, his face turned pale, and he felt a little nauseous.

Killing a soul beast and dissecting a soul beast are completely different experiences.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I can't possibly pay you back."

Qin Qi always had an honest and simple smile on his face, making anyone think he was a good kid.

"It's not a loan, it's an investment in you. You can pay me back when you achieve success in the future."

Boss Xiao looked around and lowered his voice before speaking.

"Um……"

Qin Qi looked at Boss Xiao and understood what he meant after a moment's thought.

The position of city lord is not easy to hold, and the current city lord may not only have Xiao Laoda as his son.

Everything is peaceful now, but things will get unsettled when the future city lord gets old and has to abdicate.

If Xiao Laoda wants to take over his father's position, he must have enough power.

A promising and talented Soul Master would be a great asset.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I'm from the village, and we villagers don't like to owe money to others."

Qin Qi smiled and refused. The city lord was a nobleman, and noble forces were interconnected; moving one would affect the whole situation.

Getting involved with one side is equivalent to being entangled with the entire aristocratic power, which will bring a lot of trouble in the future.

It's not worth causing yourself trouble for that little bit of money.

"Junior, let me tell you something..."

"Hmm!"

Boss Xiao wanted to say something more, but the pig that had been tied up tightly suddenly broke free.

With bloodshot eyes, he started running towards the exit of the courtyard, just as Qin Qi and Boss Xiao were at the exit.

"what!"

When Boss Xiao saw the pig charging at him, he instinctively used his hands to protect himself.

He even forgot about the Martial Soul Possession and defended himself just like an ordinary person.

"Hey."

Qin Qi shook his head when he saw this. After all, he was just a child. He had to get into a fighting stance.

They might perform well then, but if they were to encounter a sudden attack, they wouldn't be able to react at all.

"Pfft!"

Qin Qi watched the pig approaching, but he didn't move. The moment the pig rushed in front of him, he launched his attack.

The unfinished instant strike was launched; he gripped the butcher knife and launched an attack like a bullet leaving the chamber.

The blade pierced the pig's body precisely, severing its heart meridian in one stroke.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

With a thud, the pig's massive body collapsed to the ground, and blood gushed from its wounds.

Unfortunately, it splashed onto Boss Xiao.

As Xiao Laoda felt the warm, damp, and rusty smell of pig's blood on his body, he couldn't resist any longer.

"Ugh! How disgusting! How disgusting!"

At this moment, Boss Xiao was covered in blood, and his stomach was churning. He couldn't help but vomit after a short while.
