"Skinny Monkey, get up! It's been two days! Time to cook!"
Shi Hao pushed open the door. The room was pitch-black.
In the darkness, eerie blue arcs flickered amid rhythmic snorts, illuminating Shi Hou's dark face in flashes. The snot bubble on the tip of his nose swelled and shrank with his breathing.
The light came from a dark shape beside Shi Hou's pillow.
Kang lay sprawled on its back, its front trotters twitching from time to time.
With every snort, its two huge nostrils puffed out a thumb-sized miniature Suanni formed from lightning.
"Zzzzt-"
The miniature Suanni gleefully rammed into Shi Hou's cheek.
The instant the violent lightning runes touched Shi Hou's dark skin, they vanished with a soft puff, like a clay ox sinking into the sea, leaving no trace.
They did not even leave a red mark.
At the doorway, Shi Hao stared wide-eyed and unconsciously swallowed.
Was that the Suanni Precious Technique?!
It was a little small, but this pig was unleashing a Primordial Remnant's Treasure Art in its sleep?
And Skinny Monkey's skin... wasn't it a little too thick?!
Disturbed by the noise at the door, Shi Hou's eyelids twitched before slowly opening.
The first thing he saw was a glowing blue electric mouse charging straight at his forehead.
"Smack."
Expressionless, Shi Hou raised his hand and slapped it.
The practiced ease of the motion was enough to break one's heart.
The miniature Suanni dispersed under the slap, which also landed squarely on Kang's pig face.
"Awooo?"
Kang bounced three feet into the air, its beady eyes filled with bewilderment.
Before it could react, a powerful force seized it.
Shi Hou grabbed the pig by the scruff with a look of disgust and casually tossed it toward the door.
"Go play with your lightning buddy."
