Chapter 584 Animal Mediator

Lu Qiaoge mentally instructed Huang Huang: "Stay where you were just now and don't move. I'll come find you with the big wolfhound in a bit."

The large wolfhound did not resist her touch.

At this moment, Lu Qiaoge's palm carried a faint spatial energy, an aura that all living beings instinctively felt drawn to.

Seeing that the large wolfhound's mood had clearly calmed down, Lu Qiaoge stood up and said to the old squad leader, "Old squad leader, this stalemate isn't going to work. I think it's feeling a bit better. Could I take it for a walk near the gate? Don't worry, I won't go far; it'll stay within sight."

She then casually brought it up again: "When I came in just now, I think I saw a big yellow dog jumping around at the door. What was that about?"

Seeing he couldn't hide it any longer, the old sergeant could only smile wryly and recount the whole story: "Sigh, to tell you the truth, our General is usually very powerful; beating a mongrel like him is a piece of cake. But who knew he'd be so stubborn this time? Even though he won, he's not happy at all, and he hasn't eaten or drunk anything for three days..."

Lu Qiaoge chuckled to herself: Of course, Huanghuang is no ordinary mongrel; it has intelligence.

The difference in fighting ability between it and this large wolfhound was like heaven and earth.

Huang Huang was just teasing it, but who knew the big wolfhound would see through it.

That's why she felt this was a wolfhound about to develop intelligence, but the timing was uncertain.

Lu Qiaoge squatted down again, gently stroking the large wolfhound's neck fur, her voice gentle: "Can you stand up? If you can, I'll take you for a walk, okay?"

The old squad leader and Xiao Zhang both held their breath and stared at the big wolfhound. They thought it wouldn't move, but to their surprise, it first raised its head, hesitated for a moment, and then actually stood up shakily, silently leaning against Lu Qiaoge's legs and looking up at her.

Lu Qiaoge patted its sturdy head and said with a smile, "Hello, General, your name is really majestic."

The large wolfhound seemed to understand, its ears twitching slightly. Although it didn't show any excitement, its eyes were noticeably more focused.

Lu Qiaoge didn't care about its current low mood—as long as it was willing to move and respond, it was a good start.

With her there, she will never let it continue to decline.

She walked slowly toward the gate with her large wolfhound.

Although the general's steps were a little unsteady, he still tried his best to keep up and was unwilling to fall behind.

The old squad leader and Xiao Zhang followed closely behind.

Just as I reached the gate, a yellow figure suddenly darted out from nowhere and stopped a short distance away—it was Huang Huang.

The old squad leader's eyes widened, and Xiao Zhang pointed at it and exclaimed, "It's...it's that! How did it reappear?"

Lu Qiaoge turned to look at the old squad leader, feigning surprise: "Is it this dog?"

At this moment, the general beside him let out a low sob, his body tense, staring intently at Huang Huang, looking as if he wanted to rush forward but was also hesitant.

Lu Qiaoge could sense that the large wolfhound's emotions were very complicated.

She suddenly laughed and joked with the old squad leader, "You know, I do mediation work at the neighborhood office, and I usually persuade people. Today, I'd like to try and mediate between these two little guys and see if we can turn hostility into friendship?"

The old squad leader was stunned; this was the first time he had ever heard of mediating a dog's behavior.

Xiao Zhang, who was standing next to him, couldn't wait to chime in: "Director Lu, why don't you give it a try! We've all heard that you're the best mediator in the neighborhood committee. Maybe they'll really listen to you!"

Lu Qiaoge suppressed a laugh: It seems my identity as a mediator is quite useful. I haven't been mediating neighborhood disputes these past few days, but I have to mediate "dog-to-dog relations"—to be precise, the conflict between General and Huang Huang.

She gently patted the general's head and beckoned to Huang Huang: "You, come here."

Under the astonished gazes of the old squad leader and Xiao Zhang, the big yellow dog actually obediently trotted over and sat down in front of Lu Qiaoge.

While calming the restless general with her hand, which was radiating energy, Lu Qiaoge slowly said, "You fought with it before, and on the surface you won, but you felt that it deliberately let you win, so you felt insulted, right?"

Her voice was calm, and energy flowed slightly in her palm. This time, she clearly captured the fragmented echoes from the wolfhound's consciousness—no longer a blurry noise, but a few discontinuous yet distinct syllables, similar to the sounds of "yes" or "play."

She turned to Huanghuang, her tone slightly serious: "Huanghuang, among you animals, there's a law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak and the mighty are respected. If you're going to fight, you should go all out. That's respect for your opponent, and also respect for yourself. Don't you agree?"

Huang Huang nodded immediately.

The old sergeant's eyes lit up: This big yellow dog is indeed intelligent, its comprehension is even stronger than that of the general, and its reaction is astonishingly fast.

In a real contest, the Great General is probably no match for it...

I really want to raise one!

Lu Qiaoge didn't have time to pay attention to the old squad leader's surprise. She patted the big wolfhound again: "It has realized its mistake. Not giving it its all is indeed disrespectful to you. You see, I have already criticized it."

The large wolfhound listened quietly, its wet eyes fixed on Lu Qiaoge, seemingly understanding much of what it was saying.

“But actually, you don’t need to take it too seriously.” Lu Qiaoge’s voice softened even more. “You’ve lived with humans for so long that your habits are inevitably affected. You’ll have emotions and overthink things, which is all normal.”

The large wolfhound suddenly looked up at her, then stretched out a paw and pointed at Huang Huang, before scratching the ground somewhat impatiently.

Lu Qiaoge understood and asked with a smile, "General, do you want to have another fight with Huang Huang, a fair one?"

Xiao Zhang and the old squad leader stared intently at the big wolfhound—could it understand such a complicated meaning?

Unexpectedly, the large wolfhound actually nodded. At the same time, Lu Qiaoge clearly heard a faint voice: "Fine... fine."

She raised her eyebrows slightly—her pronunciation was still a little off, but the channel of communication seemed to be opening up.

She turned to Huang Huang and asked seriously, "The General wants to fight you again. Do you agree? Nod if you agree."

Huang Huang nodded without hesitation.

“It agreed.” Lu Qiaoge looked down at the large wolfhound, her tone gentle yet firm: “But if we’re going to fight, we have to wait until you’ve recovered. Right now, it’s unfair no matter who wins or loses. So from today onwards, you need to eat well and rest well. Once you’ve regained your strength, you can have a fair fight with Huang Huang. Do you think that’s okay? If you agree, just nod like it did just now, okay?”

The old squad leader and Xiao Zhang were stunned again—could the general really understand such a long string of words, especially with conditions?

The large wolfhound silently moved closer to Lu Qiaoge and gently rubbed against her palm.

It also found it amazing.

Because it really... understood everything I just said.
