Chapter 192 - 193: Repayment Plan
"You’ve ruined my aesthetic!"
This made Sister Xu even angrier, her voice filled with rage. "What’s wrong with a six-foot-tall guy with abs? What is this chubby thing you picked for me? It’s so gross!"
When she was possessed, she had actually found those chubby figures to have rather delicate features. But now that she was back to her senses, Sister Xu was furious.
She was a completely different person from the one who had just been charmed by its cuteness. The Sister Xu of this moment wanted to jump up and beat someone up!
To her, there was nothing wrong with hiring a male model. There was nothing wrong with spending a lot of money on one, either. The problem was spending a lot of money to hire someone who looked like a pig. That was what made her skin crawl.
Su Nian saw that her face was red with anger. She blinked, then looked over at the timid Pig Demon.
"This Pig Demon might be foolish, but it’s also genuinely cute," Su Nian said. "Its heart is in the right place; it’s just a bit presumptuous, that’s all. It’s not a hopeless case."
[Official certification: foolish, but genuinely cute.]
[But it’s so adorable! I want to pinch its cheeks. They must feel amazing!]
Sister Xu was fuming. "Master, can you believe this? It’s hard to even find someone that fat on the street, and it insisted on spending a fortune to ’bring me joy’!"
With the Pig Demon gone from her body, her past memories became clearer. She recalled spending a fortune at the club to order a male model with a "five-plus" body type.
The thought made her feel sick all over.
Su Nian understood her pain and turned back to the Pig Demon. "The rules for humans are different. By possessing her without permission, you’ve already lost karmic merit, not to mention you’ve harmed her."
"Ah! I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Benefactor, I didn’t do it on purpose!"
The Pig Demon was at least able to recognize its mistake. It had achieved a certain level of cultivation and only returned to repay a debt of gratitude. It never expected to cause such a ridiculous fiasco.
Seeing Sister Xu looking absolutely furious, it grew nervous.
"Benefactor, what can I do to make you forgive me!"
A ball of anger was pent up inside Sister Xu, just waiting to be released. After all, she had just been incredibly unlucky. It would have been better if this debt was never repaid at all!
She felt like such a sucker!
"Just stay away from me!"
The Pig Demon’s large ears flapped gently, and an idea instantly popped into its head!
"I know! Don’t you like handsome men? I’ll give you temporary X-ray vision so you can see a man’s size, and you can also... Mph... Mph mph..."
[What? What was that?! I didn’t hear clearly!]
[Is this something I’m allowed to be hearing?]
[What kind of Pig Demon is this? It’s clearly my little Sweetheart!]
[If you’d done this from the start, you would’ve repaid your debt ages ago!]
[Can’t wait, I’m off to rescue some stray cats and dogs right now!]
[Pausing my studies! I’m off to do some rescuing!]
[Pausing surgery! I’m off to do some rescuing!]
[Pausing the match! I’m off to do some rescuing!]
But before the Pig Demon could finish, Su Nian expressionlessly clamped a hand over its mouth.
"No lewd content!"
"Huh!?"
The Pig Demon looked completely baffled. In their shallow understanding of the world, a demon who had gained sentience was supposed to repay debts and cultivate.
After that, they would gain the recognition of heaven and earth, and humans would offer them incense and tribute. It was a mutually beneficial relationship.
Yet now, such a great plan for repaying its debt had been interrupted.
It was a little indignant.
But Su Nian smacked it right on the head.
"Is your brain stuffed with pig feed?"
"I told you to repay your debt, not grant her wishes, especially unrealistic ones like this!"
Pig Demon: ???
The Pig Demon looked confused and bewildered. "But she saved me. If I don’t repay my debt, I’ll face divine punishment, and my cultivation will never advance."
Besides, it seemed like granting wishes was the only appealing thing it had to offer.
After all, its initial idea of changing her aesthetic preferences had already proven to be a very foolish and stupid choice.
Meanwhile, Sister Xu, who had just been looking expectant, became disappointed after hearing Su Nian’s words.
"Er, I actually kind of want to see the, uh, sizes..."
Sister Xu spoke haltingly, but the Pig Demon nodded in vigorous agreement, its face a mask of "yes, yes, yes."
Su Nian: ...
The live comments...
[I want that power too!]
[Saying that out loud would probably get bleeped.]
[That’s actually pretty exciting. I’ve decided: tomorrow, I’m going to a slaughterhouse to rescue a pig!]
[I... I think I’ll stick to rescuing stray dogs. I can’t live without eating pork...]
