Chapter 151: Chapter 87 Fat Head and Big Ears_2

A gaunt yet powerful hand reached into the cage, grasping Chen Shi by the neck and yanked him out.

Chen Shi, transformed into a big white goose, did not struggle as the hand lifted him up. The hand’s owner was none other than Elder Er, with his white beard and white hair, his face full of wrinkles. He eyed Chen Shi and chuckled, "A nice, fat goose. Don’t blame me, why would the master and his wife prefer this one?"

He stuffed Chen Shi into a goose cage, then hoisted it onto a bamboo pole, and hung the cage from a tree in the backyard.

The goose cage was made of bamboo strips, woven together with rather large gaps, just enough for a goose’s head to poke through, but not its body.

Before long, eighteen cages hung from that tree, resembling huge round lanterns, with the white geese anxiously pacing inside.

To others, these geese were merely cackling non-stop; but to Chen Shi and the other transformed students inside the cages, they were crying for help!

"What’s the matter? Haven’t caught that dog yet? What are you servants good for?" Noise still filled the government office.

Many maids emerged, busying themselves in the backyard, preparing various knives and dining utensils, even axes, as well as condiments like green onions, ginger, garlic, cilantro, oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.

The students inside the goose cages cried out even louder, pleading for the maids to save them, but no one understood them.

The maids then left the backyard, but Elder Er did not leave, staying behind instead.

Unnoticed, evening arrived and Elder Er lit the lanterns one by one; the backyard was suddenly adorned with several lanterns casting a blood-red light.

Elder Er bowed and stood, then a voice said, "My lady, please watch your step, the ground is slippery."

"That’s enough, that’s enough."

A slightly breathless voice replied, "You all may go back, the master and I will dine, and nobody should step into the backyard."

"Yes."

Footsteps of the maids receded into the distance.

Inside his cage, Chen Shi noticed Elder Er becoming visibly tense, staring intently at the moon-shaped gate of the backyard as if in fear.

Chen Shi looked toward the moon gate and saw the stout County Magistrate’s wife laboriously moving her feet, bathed in moonlight and lamp light as she approached, muttering, "It’s been a long while, I haven’t had such fresh ones in ages... Elder Wu, where is the master?"

Elder Er hastily bowed and said, "The master is still outside, he hasn’t returned yet."

His voice trembled slightly, evidently quite frightened, "My lady, if you are hungry, you may start eating..."

The plump and large County Magistrate’s wife wobbled toward the dining table, chuckling, "No rush, no rush, let’s wait for him. He’s newly appointed as the parent-official of Xinxiang, busy with many duties, very hard-working, he needs to be nourished properly."

As she moved, suddenly a thud sounded from beneath her dress, and a segment of her body unexpectedly extended from behind her skirt.

The County Magistrate’s wife took another step, another thud, and her body grew another segment, her skirt gradually failing to conceal her elongating body.

She continued her course toward the dining table, the thudding sounds continuing incessantly, her body elongating further and becoming lighter, more segments emerging from beneath her skirt. Thick, strong legs stretched out from underneath these segments, stepping on the ground, lifting her lengthy body.

Her physique slimmed down, her speech became much lighter, she chuckled, "This feels much more comfortable."

Behind her, her body had grown to the length of three to four zhang, continuously sprouting new segments.

That body was entirely blood-red, but its legs were milky white, semi-transparent, thick at the thigh and tapering at the ankles, ending in extremely sharp points, as if made of steel. NovelFire.Côm-cσ๓

She resembled a centipede, four to five zhang long, shielded by a thick shell, but the front segments remained humanoid. As more segments formed, she became thinner, her appearance becoming lovelier and more graceful, indescribably alluring.

Her previously clumsy body also became incredibly agile, no longer as cumbersome as before.

The big white geese in the cages stopped their cackling, staring blankly at the spectacle.

Chen Shi was also stunned, "Wasn’t it said that there are no evil spirits in the county? Now, not only is there an evil spirit, but she’s even become the County Magistrate’s wife! And she enslaves cultivators to capture young boys and girls for her consumption!"

He found it absurd.

He once envied the children of the city, thinking they were immensely fortunate, little did he know that they faced greater dangers than country children!

Suddenly, someone started crying out; the other geese joined in, creating a cacophonic uproar in the backyard of the government office.

The County Magistrate’s wife soared upward from her upper body with a whoosh, her numerous legs thrusting powerfully, lifting her to loom over the goose cages, even taller than them.

She moved agilely around the big tree, spinning a full circle, suddenly shouting, "Stop the noise! Whoever makes noise gets eaten first!"

All was quiet immediately, the large white geese huddling in the corners of their cages, daring not to move.

The County Magistrate’s wife was quite pleased, took a goose cage, turned to the dining table, and set the cage upon it, her eyes twinkling.

"Goose heart, goose liver, goose intestines, and also goose palm, goose brain, all are my favorite delicacies."

She laughed, her laughter causing her to tremble, her legs trembling along with her, "Don’t be scared. Fear makes you less tasty. I was originally just using the blood of boys and girls for alchemy pills, but after tasting it, I grew fonder of this taste. Should I wait for the master, or shall I start eating..."

At that moment, the voice of County Magistrate Geng came from outside the courtyard, "... Is Mr. Fu arriving at this hour for something urgent?"

"County Magistrate, I came to fetch the geese."

The voice of Fu Leisheng came, laughing, "I promised the old man selling the geese to buy his birds and asked him to reserve a few for me. I heard he reached your residence and hasn’t left, so I took the liberty to come by, disturbing the County Magistrate’s rest. Once I pick up the geese, I will leave immediately!"

County Magistrate Geng was somewhat displeased and said, "I have bought all those geese already and paid for them, there’s no reason to give them to you! Mr. Fu, you are a scholar; do not overstep."

Fu Leisheng answered, "I also paid, and I paid first. Although you are an official, County Magistrate, it does not mean you can be unreasonable. Call out the old man selling the geese, let me confront him! Selling geese, selling geese!"

His voice grew louder, intent on forcing his way into the backyard.

The County Magistrate’s wife’s eyes flashed with ferocity, laughing coyly, "Let him come in, my lord, it’s just an extra pair of chopsticks."

Her gaze fell upon an ax, her body continually shrinking, returning to her plump appearance.

Fu Leisheng and County Magistrate Geng walked in one after the other, Fu Leisheng saw the goose cages hanging from the tree, laughing, "Yes! These are my geese that I’ve paid for! Lord Geng, these geese are mine, I’m taking them!"

The old man selling the geese appeared behind him, coldly saying, "Mr. Fu, perhaps you remembered incorrectly? You haven’t paid a penny for these geese."

With a smile still on his face, Fu Leisheng turned and faced him, laughing, "Selling geese still requires payment? Did you take any money from County Magistrate Geng? Since you didn’t from County Magistrate Geng, why bother with mine?"

He was middle-aged with typically murky charisma, a typical money-hungry street scholar, but now he appeared bright and cheery, smiling, "You sold the geese but haven’t left, perhaps you are waiting for the County Magistrate to invite you for a meal?"

County Magistrate Geng laughed heartily, extended his hand, and invited, "Mr. Fu sure loves to jest. Since you’re here, why not eat a simple meal before you go? Please, have a seat."

Fu Leisheng arrived at the dining table, said, "County Magistrate, please."

County Magistrate Geng took his seat, said, "Old Wu, pick a fatty white goose for Mr. Fu."

Fu Leisheng chuckled, "Let me do the picking."

He snatched a bamboo pole from the old man, picked out a goose cage, and brought it to the table.

"Sir, the white goose I picked can speak human language."

Fu Leisheng placed the goose cage on the table, laughed, "She can also perform tricks, transforming from a goose into a human."

"Oh?"

Both County Magistrate Geng and his wife were intrigued, the County Magistrate’s wife laughed, "Let’s see it perform a trick."

With a slight smile, Fu Leisheng said to the goose in the cage, "Hu Feifei, say something for the County Magistrate and his wife."

The white goose was indeed Hu Feifei, who looked at the County Magistrate’s wife and laughed, "Madam, you look plump and big-eared like a pig, still eating."

The County Magistrate’s wife was so angry her body shook, about to burst out, but County Magistrate Geng held her hand, laughing, "What are your plans, Mr. Fu?"

Fu Leisheng responded seriously, "I am merely a scholar; I cannot change much, only wanting to take my student away."

County Magistrate Geng replied, "The scholars of Wencai Academy, you can take."

Fu Leisheng laughed, "The students are all followers of Confucius, and since all are followers of Confucius, they are fellow students. I will take them all."

"In your dreams!"

The County Magistrate’s wife suddenly banged the table, her plump and big ears slightly wobbled, thud thud thud, her body swelled, revealing her True Body!

"Let’s all stay then!"
