Black Myth: The Legend of Tianpeng Seeking Demons

Zhu Feiyang, with his boar-like body, was seen running wildly across the playground like an out-of-control heavy truck, recklessly rampaging through the area. With each step he took, the ground trembled, as if a small earthquake had occurred.

The panicked students scattered like startled birds, their faces filled with fear and despair. Sharp, piercing screams and angry curses mingled and echoed throughout the campus, instantly transforming the once peaceful playground into a living hell.

"My God! What... what kind of monster is this?!" A timid boy's face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

"Run! If you don't run, you'll be trampled into a meat patty!" another girl cried and shouted, her voice distorted with extreme terror.

"Security! Where is the security guard?! Please come and save us!" Many people ran desperately, shouting the security guard's name at the top of their lungs.

At this moment, Liu Meiqi and her friends in the crowd were also terrified by the scene before them. The usually arrogant and haughty women were now like fallen leaves in the cold wind, clinging tightly to each other, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. Their beautiful faces were contorted with fear; their former arrogance had vanished, replaced by endless panic and helplessness.

"What...what...what happened?" Liu Meiqi stammered, her face pale.

"I...I don't know either..." Her friends were also quite frightened. They held Liu Meiqi's hands tightly, as if that would give them a sense of security.

Zhu Feiyang looked at the group of girls who were terrified and wet themselves, and felt secretly pleased. He deliberately made a few deafening pig noises, which made them even more frightened.

"Hmph, let's see if you dare bully Xiaoxiao again!" Zhu Feiyang thought to himself with smug satisfaction. "Let's see if you dare to be so arrogant again!"

"You idiot, you...you...you'd better stop this!" The voice of the Ringwraith Little White rang out from the Moonlight Ring, tinged with anger. "You...you...do you know you've caused trouble?! You...you...if you make this a big deal, we'll all be arrested!"

Zhu Feiyang then realized that he had gone a bit too far, and he quickly controlled his emotions and tried to calm himself down.

As his emotions gradually stabilized, his body began to shrink slowly, the pig bristles gradually disappeared, and his nose and ears returned to normal size. Finally, he transformed back into the handsome and dashing Zhu Feiyang.

The students around were stunned by what they saw. They stared at Zhu Feiyang as if he were a monster.

"He...he...he just...he turned into a pig?"

"I...I...I think I saw it too..."

"My God! This...this is unbelievable!"

Liu Meiqi and her friends were still shaken, their eyes fixed on Zhu Feiyang, their expressions a complex mix of fear and confusion.

Liu Meiqi's body trembled slightly, and her lips quivered. She managed to squeeze out a few words through her teeth: "You...you...who exactly are you?" Her voice seemed to be blown away by the wind, drifting lightly into everyone's ears.

Zhu Feiyang took in everything, and he couldn't help but feel secretly pleased when he saw Liu Meiqi's terrified expression. He calmly tidied his somewhat disheveled clothes, then walked towards Lin Xiaoxiao, who was standing to the side.

His steps were light yet steady, each step carrying an indescribable confidence.

When he finally reached Lin Xiaoxiao, his face showed concern, and he asked softly, "Xiaoxiao, are you alright?"

Upon hearing Zhu Feiyang's question, Lin Xiaoxiao raised her head and looked at the man in front of her who felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

Her eyes shone with gratitude, but also with a hint of barely perceptible worry.

After a long while, she slowly answered, "Feiyang, I...I'm fine..."

Although she said she was fine, her voice trembled uncontrollably, clearly indicating that what she had just experienced had a great impact on her.

"It's good that you're alright." Zhu Feiyang smiled and comforted her. "If anyone dares to bully you again in the future, just tell me, and I'll teach those guys a lesson for you!" After saying that, he gently patted Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulder to show his encouragement.

However, Lin Xiaoxiao seemed hesitant at this moment, as if she wanted to ask something, but ultimately swallowed it back.

She opened her mouth several times, but in the end, she only let out a soft sigh.

She really wanted to ask Zhu Feiyang why he had suddenly turned into a pig; such a strange sight was truly baffling to her.

But for some reason, she couldn't say the words no matter what she said, perhaps because she was afraid of getting an answer she couldn't accept.

"Just now... just now that was... a... a special kind of magic trick..." Zhu Feiyang quickly explained, not wanting Lin Xiaoxiao to know his true identity. "I... I... I'm a magician!"

"A magician?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Zhu Feiyang with a puzzled expression. "But... but..."

"Alright, Xiaoxiao, stop asking so many questions," Zhu Feiyang quickly interrupted Lin Xiaoxiao. "Let's go back first."

Zhu Feiyang led Lin Xiaoxiao away from the playground, leaving Liu Meiqi and her friends trembling in place.

"You...you...you all think he...he...could he really be a monster?"

"I...I...I don't know..."

"Oh my god! I...I...I'll never bully Lin Xiaoxiao again..."

Back in his dorm, Zhu Feiyang lay on his bed, reflecting on what had just happened.

"Xiaobai, do you think what I did...was a bit too much?" Zhu Feiyang asked. Although he had taught Liu Meiqi a lesson, he didn't feel much joy; instead, he felt somewhat uneasy.

"You idiot, you've finally come to your senses!" said Little White, the Ringwraith. "What you did was really a bit excessive. You...you...do you know that your actions just now have seriously violated the rules of Heaven?"

"The Heavenly Court's regulations? What regulations?" Zhu Feiyang asked in confusion.

"Heavenly deities are forbidden from using magic indiscriminately when descending to the mortal realm, and even more so from harming mortals!" Xiao Bai said. "You...you...your actions just now have attracted the attention of Heavenly Court. If...if...if you are discovered, you...you...you will be severely punished!"

"What?! It's that serious?!" Zhu Feiyang was startled. He quickly sat up in bed. "Then...then...what should I do?"

"Now you're scared? Why didn't you say that earlier?" Xiaobai said irritably.

"I have erased the part of their memory that turned you into a pig from their memories."

Zhu Feiyang exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Bai, you're so amazing?"

"You...you...you'd better keep a low profile and don't cause me any more trouble!"

Zhu Feiyang realized that he had to learn to control his emotions and hide his identity, otherwise he would bring greater trouble to himself and those around him.

He looked out at the dark night sky, his heart filled with confusion and unease.

Just as Zhu Feiyang was deep in thought, the Ringwraith Xiaobai suddenly blurted out, "Speaking of which, that 'Pig-style Intimidation' move was really effective. It scared those girls so much that they couldn't even curse anymore!"

“Pig-style deterrence?! Xiaobai, don’t describe me in such a… uh… down-to-earth way!” Zhu Feiyang protested, both amused and exasperated. “Couldn’t you have come up with a more sophisticated name? Like ‘Rabid Pig Charge’ or something.”

"Hmm...that sounds pretty impressive. No wonder it always amazes everyone when you use that move," Xiaobai teased. "But aren't you really afraid that if you turn into a pig again, Lin Xiaoxiao will run away in fear?"

"That definitely won't work!" Zhu Feiyang exclaimed in surprise.
