Chapter 179 The Useless Prince's Power Seizure (57)
At this point, Jingli no longer concealed the "Emperor" inside the pig's body and directly condensed the energy into chains to bind it.
Back in the previous world, Jingli was already able to use her energy to harm the physical body; with the enhancement of this world, the power is even greater.
The emperor's soul had been tempered by the divine water for a long time, and black energy lingered everywhere. Not to mention later on, Jingli released black shadows near the divine water he had visited.
Jingli's energy is the natural enemy of the shadow. The pig has an energy shield that Jingli set up before, and now it is trapped by energy locks outside its body, making it twist and turn in discomfort.
However, Jingli had already sealed its mouth, so it couldn't even make a pig squeal.
The Little Pig Emperor was now sitting cross-legged next to the "Little Pig." He didn't know that this was its previous body; he was just curious about the chubby white thing in front of him that was wriggling around.
Jingli was reporting to 6058.
[Jingli: Everything went smoothly. The old man and the little pig have already swapped souls, but there's something a little strange about it.]
Jingli pointed to the soul-nourishing talisman in front of him: "Eunuch Wan's soul seems to be incomplete and flawed."
Upon hearing this, 6058 carefully examined the soul within and frowned (though it was not very noticeable that the bird was frowning).
[6058: Indeed, it is missing a soul and a spirit.]
As an observer, 6058 has also wandered through various small worlds before and has encountered this situation before.
[6058: It doesn't seem like this soul and spirit were lost naturally, because the other souls also show some damage, as if they were deliberately extracted.]
The spirit form of Eunuch Wan had fallen into a deep sleep. 6058 tried to recall his experiences, which was a milder version of the Soul Searching Technique. It would not cause too much damage to the spirit form, but its effect was not as powerful as the Soul Searching Technique.
Wan Gonggong's memories were relatively continuous after the late emperor ascended the throne, but they became somewhat fragmented before that. However, 6058 still managed to capture some information.
For example, the "Heavenly God" took away "Eunuch Wan's" supernatural powers, which allowed "Eunuch Wan" to stay.
There are some speculations about 6058, but we still need to wait for the soul to be nurtured again and have the impurities of the past few years removed before we can make any specific decisions.
After discussing it with Jingli, the little pig was marked and sent back to the pigpen by 6058 that night.
The next day, Jingli went there again in person, which frightened the palace servants in the pig enclosure so much that they didn't dare to lift their heads.
It was thanks to Jingli's habit of running around the palace that the emperor never said anything. Now that he was here, the palace servants had some doubts, but they were more worried about what this legendary little tyrant prince was up to.
Jingli was both amused and exasperated. She simply said that her companion and guards were leaving and she wanted to host a farewell feast with roasted pigs. Then, she pretended to glance at the pigpen casually, where the little pig marked with an energy symbol was in the corner, shouting hoarsely.
"This one is good, let's take this one."
The palace servants nearby quickly chimed in, saying that the piglets were just the right size, interpreting it as the piglets having been marked, and said they would wash them clean and send them over.
The roasted pig was to be roasted alive. It wasn't that Jingli intentionally wanted to torture the emperor (well, actually, that was partly true), but rather it was 6058's idea.
The emperor, or rather the former emperor, not only disrupted the development of this world with external forces, but also oppressed the people with "divine power" and imperial authority, causing them to suffer.
At the same time, he feeds on public resentment and the power of people's will, helping him to defy fate and continue to rot away at the world.
Now he is truly suffering the consequences.
The emperor, the messenger chosen by Sefosi, through his regret, misery, and suffering, can, to some extent, contribute to the destruction of the pseudo-world consciousness.
Piglets were originally raised in the palace pigsty, and if they were kept in captivity for no more than a year, they would become the food of nobles.
The real piglet has now escaped death. The emperor inside him is protected by the round jade, and his soul will not dissipate. This is exactly the effect that 6058 wanted to achieve.
The most painful thing is not being able to die.
From the moment they chose Show Lo as their stand-in, 6058 had been looking forward to this moment.
The appointments of Yuan Lanying and Yu An have been officially issued, and they can set off once the Yuan and Lang families have assembled their teams.
Jingli sent invitations to the Yuan and Zeng families, and also invited Langyue to the East Palace for a roasted pig feast.
Of course, the Little Pig Emperor didn't need Jingli's invitation; he simply accepted the banquet on his own initiative, with just a slight thought from Jingli.
Outsiders only thought that the emperor truly loved Jingli, and as for the princes who were envious, Jingli didn't need to worry about them for the time being.
As the campfire was lit, the piglets were brought up, bound and terrified. Their screams echoed through the night, and they were slapped several times by the palace servants wielding the knife. They painfully turned their gaze to Langyue, who sat in the high seat.
Langyue felt this was indeed cruel and couldn't bear it, but Jingli gently but firmly stopped her.
"Mother, Xiao An and Ying Ge are going to the battlefield. If they can't even bear to see this, what about the mountains of corpses and seas of blood?"
Langyue thought about it and still couldn't stand it, so she used feeling unwell as an excuse to avoid cooking the pig for the time being.
The hope in the piglet's eyes gradually faded, and it listlessly blew air into its head.
Nobody knows what it's thinking.
Yu An had been outside the palace for the past two days, working with the Lang family to make necessary arrangements at the Yuan family residence. Today, he returned to the East Palace with Yuan Lanying and was somewhat surprised to see the "Emperor" there.
Jingli, however, didn't care at all. She called Yu An to her side, raised her chin slightly towards the piglet whose limbs were tied up, and asked, "Xiao An, do you recognize him?"
The burning fire crackled softly, and in the darkness, Jingli's face was tanned pink by the heat.
Yu An was momentarily stunned by the scene before him, but at that moment he felt the "emperor's" gaze.
He clenched his fist and asked vaguely, "Is it... the one from the cold spring before?"
Jingli laughed, a laugh more dazzling than the flames.
"Yes and no."
Jingli Road.
The emperor, who was standing to the side, seemed to understand something as well, and softly uttered the word that Jingli had taught him: "It is I."
Upon hearing this, Jingli suddenly chuckled, making Yu An even more puzzled.
Jingli's relationship with the emperor seems to have changed, and the emperor is no longer like an emperor, but all of this makes Yu An feel a little flustered.
Jing Li casually used a soundproof talisman to shield himself and Yu An, and asked, "Didn't you want to kill Emperor Jing with your own hands, devour his flesh and blood, and make him suffer endless torment?"
Jingli pointed her slender finger at the lifeless piglet, a smile playing on her lips: "You can do that today."
Yu An felt as if he understood something, but he didn't quite understand it.
Jingli stopped keeping them in suspense: "Emperor Jing's soul is there, and Little Pig's soul is here."
Before Yu An could react, Jing Li continued, "Xiao An, if you told him before you landed that you are of the Yu family bloodline, what would his reaction be?"
All of this was clearly bizarrely outrageous, but it seemed perfectly natural to happen to the young prince.
Yu An even felt that Jing Li's smile, tinged with a hint of wickedness in the night, was inexplicably alluring.
Everything around him seemed to blur at this moment, and Yu An could no longer hear the voices of others clearly. He could only hear His Highness's whispered incantation-like voice - Go, Xiao An, take your knife and cut him into a thousand pieces.
The palace servants in charge of burning the pigs had made preparations. It is said that in earlier times in this world, burning animals alive was generally a kind of sacrificial ritual, using blood, torture, pain, and screams to gain the mercy of the heavens. However, due to its bloody and violent nature, some armies would also use it to train the courage of new recruits and stimulate their fighting spirit.
Once the water is boiling, let it flow evenly down the pig's head.
The piglet cried out in pain and began to struggle violently. Then, the experienced palace servants began a series of procedures, including bloodletting.
Holding a knife, Yu An followed the palace servant's instructions and swiftly made a cut.
