Chapter 522: Chapter 522: The Three Demons Leave, Tian Peng Suffers

"Tian Peng, if it weren’t for us, do you know where you would be right now!" the Roc Demon King said, looking at him with his indifferent tone and growing a bit angry, he spoke loudly.

They hadn’t told Tian Peng that he was originally going to be reborn as a pig. Tian Peng’s reaction when he first inherited his memories was not very good, so after discussing it, the three of them unanimously decided not to tell him for the time being.

Since Tian Peng was already very sad, they thought it best not to share this and avoid making him even sadder.

But now, Tian Peng was not only ungrateful for their years of help, but he also mocked them.

The Three Demons couldn’t stand it any longer. Seeing Tian Peng’s indifferent attitude, they felt as if all the years they had worked for Tian Peng had been eaten by dogs.

"Tian Peng, it seems your conscience has been eaten by dogs. Do you even know that without us, you might still be in those deep mountains of Gao Laozhuang, rooting in the muck, unable to even speak?"

Tian Peng sneered, "What, knowing you’re leaving now, you want to use this to mock me?"

"I’m not mocking you, this matter is actually true. Without us, you wouldn’t even be able to become a person."

"Not only have you become a person now, but your appearance is much more handsome than before, yet your heart has become much darker. It seems that we really shouldn’t have saved you, and should have let you live in those mountains!" the Roc Demon King said.

Upon hearing this, Tian Peng clenched his hand on the door frame with such force that he gouged out a piece of it.

Tian Peng glared at them viciously, "Say that again?"

"What’s the matter? Even at this point, do you still think I’m mocking you?" the Roc Demon King said.

"Are you calling me a pig and I should thank you for it?" If Tian Peng’s conscience weren’t holding him back, he would probably have thrown a punch at the Roc Demon King already.

"It’s not that we’re calling you a pig, but without us, you might indeed have been a pig!" the Roc Demon King said.

Tian Peng naturally didn’t believe this; he still thought the Three Demons were mocking him.

"Alright, you don’t believe it, do you? Fine, I’ll show you the proof right now." As he spoke, the Roc Demon King looked towards Xiong Daoren.

When Xiong Daoren originally discovered that Tian Peng had been schemed against by the Jade Emperor and thrown into a pig’s womb, he used a magic artifact to project evidence so that Tian Peng could one day settle accounts with the Jade Emperor.

But now, unexpectedly, this evidence had to be shown to Tian Peng first, to let him know if he was truly reborn as a pig.

With Xiong Daoren casting spells, an image appeared before them.

How the Three Demons extracted Tian Peng’s soul from the wild pig’s body, how they sought out Chen Nuo, and how they placed it into the current body, all of it was fully recorded.

After seeing it, Tian Peng felt extremely uncomfortable.

"No, I don’t believe it; this must be fake, it must be, it definitely is!" Tian Peng said as he laughed and stepped backward.

Deep down, he had some belief, but the shock was too great, and he found it impossible to accept at the moment.

"Anyway, we have already told you the truth. If you don’t believe it, there’s nothing we can do about it."

"It’s not that we want you to remember our kindness, it’s just that your current attitude really shows ingratitude. We just wanted you to know, without us, you would not be who you are today," the Great Roc also changed his previous demeanor and said to Tian Peng.

"I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! It must be you playing tricks!" Tian Peng shouted as he stepped back, his emotions running high, his back hitting the door frame.

Tian Peng’s emotions relaxed a little, but not very much. He just stared at the Three Demons intently, trying to see if their faces gave anything away.

But unfortunately, Tian Peng saw nothing at all.

The look in the eyes of the Three Demons held anger, helplessness, and even pity, which Tian Peng truly could not accept.

"Tian Peng, whether you can accept it or not, we have already done enough for you," they said. "If you really want to continue this way, we can’t help you anymore."

"Right now, the Shopkeeper hasn’t spoken out, and we can’t just take you away either. After all, you have been living here for quite a long time and must be accustomed to life here. We are leaving, you should take care of yourself." Xiong Daoren said, turning to leave.

As Xiong Daoren left, the Golden Great Roc and the Roc Demon King quickly followed. Before departing, they said to Tian Peng, "Tian Peng, we are going. We hope you can live well, so that we might have the chance to meet again."

"No, no, no! Don’t go!" Seeing that they were truly leaving, Tian Peng took two steps forward, trying to stop them. "Wait a moment, the conversation isn’t over, you can’t just leave like this!"

Unfortunately, no matter how much Tian Peng shouted, it was all in vain; the Three Demons had already left, leaving nothing behind.

Tian Peng stayed in place for a while as the sky gradually darkened, then he went back inside the house, getting ready to sleep.

Just as he lay down, Tian Peng realized something was wrong; there seemed to be some odor in the house.

But he had just been through a lot and had no energy left to consider those things. By the time he truly realized what was happening, it was already too late.

When Tian Peng awoke, he found himself not in the dark, dim little house, but in a cool and damp place, with many screams resounding around him.

He looked around and saw the red-hot tongs, and some scattered implements on the ground, the use of which he was not certain.

Tian Peng had never seen the human world’s torture devices and could only guess that what he saw were indeed instruments of torture.

He knew that without the protection of the Three Demons, the County Magistrate would certainly come looking for him, thinking about suppressing him since his existence posed a threat to the County Magistrate.

As long as Tian Peng was alive, there would always be a thorn in the County Magistrate’s side, one that could never be removed unless Tian Peng was dealt with; otherwise, the matter would never be resolved.

"How about it? Awake yet?"

An irritating voice interrupted Tian Peng’s thoughts. He looked toward the source of the voice and realized the person was speaking to him from below his stomach.

There was no helping it. Tian Peng’s stature was just too tall, and with the County Magistrate being short in addition to old, if it weren’t for his wealthy relatives, he probably couldn’t even manage to find a wife.

Indeed, to live among humans, one still needed the support of friends and family, whether it was for ordinary folks or those seeking to rise in rank and fortune.

"Heh," Tian Peng chuckled, unable to restrain himself.

"What are you laughing at?" the County Magistrate asked.

"I apologize, but if you didn’t speak, I wouldn’t have been able to tell where you were," Tian Peng replied.

"You’re asking for death?" the County Magistrate said with fury, then laughed as he looked at Tian Peng, who was tied to the rack.

He was indeed asking for death; no choice there. Catching Tian Peng had been such a challenge, and now that he was finally caught, he must be put to death.

If he wasn’t killed, the County Magistrate would never be able to quench the hatred in his heart. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"What, you’re so short and can’t handle a couple of remarks? You’re lucky we’re inside a prison cell. If we were on the road, I might not see you and accidentally step on you without even realizing it," Tian Peng taunted.
