Junjie Trains

Sprinting through the hole in the wall, Qin Rong quickly disappeared into the Zhao Clan.

"Elder Bing, what's with these Challengers?"

Sighing, Elder Bing said, "It's due to that Brother Zhao killing so many in duels that their families desire retribution. Legally, he's obligated to accept such challengers. Earlier if you recall, Senior Zhao said things would be lively for awhile. Brother Zhao, will be constantly challenged like this everyday.

Astonished, Ling Fan said, "Really!? Let's go take a look."

Everyone rose up to leave. Surprisingly, Shensheng didn't move.

With a raised eyebrow, Ling Fan asked, "Your not going?"

"Mhm."

"May I ask why?"

"Little Junjie needs to train."

"You're going to start training him."

"As my Master aren't you supposed be training me?"

"You're probationary still. However later, this Queen will give you pointers."

Ling Fan turned to leave. She was about to exit the gate, when Shensheng said, "You-You watch for that anomaly. She still very much wants to kill you."

Ling Fan and the Fierce Fairies ran back into the Ling Clan manor in a huff. As the main gates were closed and locked, Ling Fan released a long sigh of relief.

Angrily looking at Shensheng, Ling Fan exasperated, "Who's that crazy b*tch!? Did you see those eyes...she was killing me all kinds of sideways with her looks. Weren't you going to end her?"*1

Shensheng chortled.

"Are you laughing at me!!" vehemently hissed Ling Fan.

"Is this Queen's little disciple scared? Perhaps you feel safer closer to my side? Indeed this makes Master happy."

"What?"

It was at this time, Ling Fan discovered she was actually huddled behind Shensheng who stood like her shield before the main gate.

Ling Fan's face blackened.

Sh*t!

An hour later, Shensheng was still chortling.

Sipping a cup of tea, Ling Fan said, "I wasn't scared."

"The Almighty Cutter, Queen of Gangs in Neon City..scared? Never!"

"Stop laughing already. When will you do something about that psycho?"

"Later, Master will go negotiate."

"Ha! The almighty Queen of the Cosmos has to negotiate?" scoffed Ling Fan.

"If it weren't for Little Genius intervening, she'd already be dead."

"Do you at least know why she hates me?"

"She refers to you as Little Hussy."

"B*tch! I'll cut her!!"

Shensheng gave a strange look to Ling Fan.

"What."

"You recall those fluctuations earlier, the ones that shook the foundations?"

Ling Fan nodded in affirmative.

"That was your two idols exchanging pointers with her. Neither of the Zhao Empyreans could hurt her. Tian Cai's Mother even used her Heavenly Sun Slicer. Now you want to cut her?...Ridiculous."

Ling Fan stiffened. "She could defend against the Heavenly Sun Slicer?"

"Mhm."

"I'm dead, she's really going to kill me."

"This Queen promises she will not. I have already determined her weakness."

Ling Fan's eyes brightened. Quickly, she went over and started rubbing Shensheng's shoulders. "Our Shensheng is the most beautiful Queen in the Cosmos. Your might and power is renowned throughout the multiverse."

"Yes, Disciple's hands are adept..You..You have a talent! But do Master a favor."

"Mhm."

"Master has an itch...Move your hand a little down my back."

"Here?" asked Ling Fan.

"It's truly a resilient itch...in fact it's gotten worse. Try further down."

"How about here?"

"Ah, yes that's the spot."

Unbeknownst to Ling Fan, Tang Xifeng was stumbling about in a drunken stupor. Her blurry eyes constricted as they saw a peculiar sight.

My eyes, what what are they seeing? Is Young Miss actually scratching that pig's bottom?

Noticing movement, Ling Fan looked up.

Immediately, Tang Xifeng tumbled into a roll, faking an accidental tripping. Incoherently, she crawled away.

Please don't call my name...Please don't call my name.

Ling Fan turned to Shensheng, "Sister Tang is extremely talented but-but she may be too attached to wine. We may have to do an intervention."

"Intervention? The only thing needing intervention is the itch on my rear. Hurry!"

"Your rear?"

Ling Fan's face blackened as she realized what she was scratching.

Are you not scratching?

Ling Fan raised her fist and was about to smack Shensheng when a servant came rushing in.

The servant was scared, her knees wobbling. Meekly, she said, "Young Miss, Sm-Small Disaster King is here to visit."

"Little Genius?"

"Brother Zhao?"

Both Master and Probationary Disciple were surprised by this news.

Clearing her throat, Ling Fan said, "Please escort him in."

Tian Cai came striding forward. Surprisingly, he was without an escort. Cupping his hands, he said, "Sister Ling, Brother Zhao greets you."

Shensheng sauntered forward. "What you greet her but not your Teacher?"

In the next moment, both Shensheng and Ling Fan saw a side of Tian Cai that no one ever witnessed before. Slipping next to the Divine Pig he brought out a heavy fan.

"Teacher, these last few days have been unexpectedly warm. Let your student cool you down." With that he started waving cool refreshing air over Shensheng's face. It was at this time, he noticed Shensheng was wearing multi-colored clashing clothes.

He shot a look at Ling Fan while motioning with his eyes.

What the hell is this?

Understanding his intention without hearing his question, she shrugged helplessly. A second later, she was covering her mouth trying to control herself from laughing.

"Teacher your robes they er-er really redefine the new you. That-That mask it-it makes you appear intrepid and heroic. Tian Cai was wise to choose such a mighty teacher."

Shensheng chortled in pleasure with the praise. "Little Genius your words sure are sweet. Indeed the cool air greatly comforts this Queen. However, Teacher desperately needs your help with something. On my back is this insufferable itch."

"Ah you have an itch, Tian Cai will surely be able to help with this." Starting to scratch her back, he asked, "How about here?"

"Your hands are even more talented than Disciple's. However, in fact, the itch is farther down."

"How about here?"

"Close, but still further down."

Tian Cai was about to relocate his hand when he realized what was about to happened. Then he remembered what the Divine Pig had asked him never to do.

"Teacher, seeing how your itch it so resilient, Student will need to utilize stronger methods. Tian Cai will utilize his TOE to scratch vigorously."

With sleepy content eyes, Shensheng murmured, "Toe?"

Then the Divine Pig recalled a horrifying memory Tian Cai had shared with her earlier. That memory detailed the origins of his Toe Jam.*2

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" she roared. She hurriedly scrambled away. "Keep your toe away from this Queen!!!!"

Tian Cai smirked.

Humph, you dare try to trick me into scratching your rear!?

Ling Fan looked at Tian Cai in astonishment.

What exactly did he say to her that would cause such a reaction.

Hopping forward with an exposed toe, Tian Cai said, "Teacher, I'm sure this toe can kill whatever scratch you may have. The bacteria alone..."

Shensheng snorted in horror, scrambling away from the toe like it was the bane of all pigs. Huge masses of swirling black clouds formed as an unbearable pressure was rising from the Divine Pig. Recognizing the signs of Ascension, Ling Fan's eyes popped out in fear.

"Why now!! Just what did he say to her?"

Ling Fan ran forward and whispered into his ear.

"So you're saying if she ascends, she recovers her true power...remembers all her enemies...and then uses her tail to destroy their worlds?"

Ling Fan nodded an affirmative.

This?

Realizing any further action on his part would cause a premature apocalypse, Tian Cai retracted his toe.

"Ahh, that's right Teacher, Tian Cai failed to mention his Uncle Qiang is known as the strongest male in Savant City. How about I call him here to scratch..."

Ling Fan's eyes burst open.

Is he pimping his own uncle!!

"No need, just tell this Queen your request and scram with your vile toes on out of here."

"Seeing as Teacher is upset, how about I gift you these to snack on?" Tian Cai pulled out some biscotti.

"Sweet Biscuits!!!" She quickly appeared before him and swiped away the biscotti faster than the speed of light."

In a flurry of snorting and squealing, Shensheng devoured the biscotti within one breath.

Tian Cai looked at Ling Fan and spoke without speaking.

This is the Queen of the Cosmos?

Ling Fan nodded with complete understanding.

I know.

Finishing her snack, Shensheng was in a much better mood.

Ling Fan threw a thumbs up.

We avoided a calamity.

Tian Cai nodded, understanding her intention without speaking.

That we did.

"Teacher, now that you've relaxed a bit, Tian Cai seeks guidance and also desires negotiations."

"Negotiations?"

"What's the price of you stopping your er-uhm targeting of my Grandfather?"

"Divine Punishment is righteous! Divine Punishment is eternal!"

"You can't be serious, there must be a way."

"It in fact is not up to this Queen. That Old Fart offended the Ling Clan by stealing their Thousand Flower Wine. Since, they are powerless to offer complaint, this Queen did them a favor and called upon Divine Punishment. You must ask Disciple for forgiveness."

Without skipping a beat, Tian Cai said, "Sister Ling, that mask on your face really brings out your character. Tian Cai is truly impressed by your fierce gracefulness. In fact, you are truly a fairy and the Ling Clan is lucky to have you as a descendant."

With a raised eyebrow, Ling Fan asked, "Previously, did you not joke and call me Little Killer?"

This?

"Also, Master stated previously you wanted to kill me because of the evil eye thing?"

F*cking pig!

Tian Cai's cheek twitched as he sheepishly scratched his head. "How can such a noble fierce fairy hold grudges? That was a simple misunderstanding. Aren't such things far below your status and glorious demeanor?"

Shensheng chortled, "Fierce Fairy hahaahha! Little Genius, earlier you missed a wonderful sight. My Fierce Disciple was cowering next to this Queen's side."

Tian Cai shot a look at Ling Fan. He spoke without speaking.

Really?

Ling Fan blinked her eyes.

She misunderstood the whole situation.

Tian Cai nodded.

So it's like that.

Clearing his throat, Tian Cai said, "In this Young Master's eyes Little Killer will always..."

"Big Sister, from now on you call me Big Sister," interjected Ling Fan.

Tian Cai's eyes narrowed as he looked at Ling Fan.

I'm a 45 year old man-child. To your 6 year old self, I'm your Big Brother.

Ling Fan's eyes also narrowed.

Are you saying your older than the 28 year old me? To your 5 your old self, I'm your Big Sister.

Tian Cai smiled without smiling. "Er perhaps we can discuss this?"

"It's my first condition."

Tian Cai rubbed his glabella. By his estimation, the headache about to descend was heavier then the one produced by Fei Hung.

"My second condition is….Control that psycho."

"Psycho?"

Shensheng nodded.

Indeed, Damien's twin sister Mu HUIZHONG!

Ling Fan cleared her throat. "That Mu Huizhong. Earlier she tried to kill me without stating a reason why."

Tian Cai blinked a bit. "Well seeing as Mu Huizhong is my betrothed, I'll take responsibility and guarantee you she will not harm you."

"Third," Ling Fan started to say as she twiddled her fingers. "Third, bring me autographed paintings of the Zhao Empyreans."

Tian Cai jolted in surprise.

Shensheng snorted, "She views them as her idols."

"By the Divinities, did my ears just hear correctly. You're a fan of my Mother and Grandmother?"

Bashfully, Ling Fan said, "Mhm."

At this point Tian Cai was confused. Wasn't he supposed to pay a heavy price to retain his grandfather's freedom?

"Autographed paintings of my Granny and Mother shouldn't be difficult to obtain. If that's all, then we-we have a deal."

Shensheng snorted.

Tian Cai winced, scrunching his eyes as he knew something bad was about to happen.

"Little Junjie, come out," commanded the Divine Pig.

At a covered pen, on the other side of the courtyard honked Junjie. Galloping out was the ugliest abomination of an animal Tian Cai had ever seen.

Are the eyes even aligned properly?

Reaching Shensheng, it lowered its head in submission.

"Ha! How's this Queen's handsome mount?" asked Shensheng. She probed him a bit with her snout. "Indeed you are growing quite well," she said with twinkling eyes.

Tian Cai completely misunderstood the situation. Slipping next to Ling Fan, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Big-Big Sis, what is that? Also, I'm not one to inquire about how people choose their erm-partners. She's not really going to mate with that, right?"

Upon hearing his words, Ling Fan eyes bugged out. Turning to him, her hand twitched as she wanted to backhand him. Gritting her teeth, she whispered in his ear.

"So, don't ever say anything bad about him because he's really sensitive….she's really raising him to be a mount and he recognizes her as his progenitor," said Tian Cai.

"Little Genius, meet Zhu Junjie. In the future, he will follow this Queen into the heavens. Teacher has an issue only you will be able to handle for her."

Tian Cai fists clenched.

Here it comes.

Soon our Junjie will enter what you humans call puberty. At that time, Teacher needs you take him to a forest known for having a large amount of boars. There, you'll need to follow him for a month or two."

Both Tian Cai and Ling Fan frowned.

Coughing, Tian Cai said, "This doesn't seem too troublesome."

Shensheng chortled.

"What did I say a funny?" asked Tian Cai.

"You may not know but Junjie's bloodline is that of Heavenly Swallowing Boar. Here, let Teacher share a memory with you."

With a snort she sent over the memory.

Tian Cai gasped, taking a second hard look at Junjie. "He has the potential to grow into that?"

"Mhm...Big Sis had her doubts as well until Master showed me the same memory," said Ling Fan.

Grimly, Tian Cai's understanding clarified. "If I surmise correctly, he's not going to have a normal growth spurt, correct?"

Zhu Shensheng pattered about. "Heaven Swallowing Boars are firstly known for their battle prowess. However, secondly they are more well known for their unusually strong libido. In their initial erm growth spurt, they become mad with lust and will hump after all females. At the same time, he will emit pheromones that will attract all sows from miles out."

"So it will be one big intermingling fest between pigs."

Shensheng snorted. "You aren't listening, the keyword here is ALL."

Tian Cai frowned, "All? By the Divinities, just clearly say what you….OH-OH-OH!!" Realization cleared his understanding like a giant ray of sunlight.

This?

"If he's not taken out to far way place, he'll be a calamity."

"You as a male, you are the only one that can oversee his growth phase. Do you understand now?"

"How-How much time do we have?"

"Just now, this Queen investigated. He has about a month's time. However, who's knows how far a good place is for him to pass this ordeal."

"If this is the final condition, this Young Master can only start planning now."

"Good...Good...Good. Little Junjie, you must listen to all of Tian Cai's commands. Disobeying him is disobeying your Queen."

Junjie pattered over to Tian Cai and lowered his head.

Shensheng chortled, "He recognizes Young Lord."

Although it appeared Tian Cai and Shensheng had come to an agreement, Ling Fan stood baffled.

"Little Brother, can you explain, exactly what's going on?" she asked.

Uncomfortably, Tian Cai whispered into her hear. "What he's going to turn into a crazy humping machine….every damn female sow will be attracted by his pheromones and a huge cat fight could erupt at any moment..."

Ling Fan gave Junjie a hard look. She was actively calculating the benefits of raising a Heaven Swallowing Boar.

Thinking that Ling Fan was seeking his attention, Junjie happily trotted over. However, Tian Cai's instinct kicked in and gathered the boar into his arms.

Ling Fan shot a look at him.

Savior!

Tian Cai nodded.

It's only honorable.

"Little Junjie, let this Young Master take you to the training grounds. There you can display all your talents," said Tian Cai.

Shensheng snorted, "No need, it's his training time. Little Junjie, come over and properly assume the position.

"Training?"

Tian Cai noticed that Junjie started trembling in reluctance. Suddenly, a mysterious force grabbed Junjie and place him before Shensheng's feet.

"Go ahead and flatten to your belly," she commanded.

The ugly little boar was frantically shaking his head. Tian Cai shot a look at Ling Fan.

"This is the first time Big Sis is seeing him train as well," she said.

"Junjie! Stop acting like a child. Don't you desire to be a Heavenly Lord? Do you not desire to battle across the cosmos in glorious combat."

In resignation, Junjie finally completely collapse to his stomach.

"Good..Good..Good" said Shensheng. Pattering over, she gingerly sat her rear onto his back. "Your Queen will now unleash one percent of her actual weight. This session you must do 100 sit-ups."

Whoosh!

Junjie squealed relentlessly as he immediately sunk two feet into the ground.

Tian Cai turned to Ling Fan and said, "You want her for a Master...by all means be my guest."

"Go ahead Little Junjie, show this Queen the full might of a Heaven Swallowing Boar."
