"Two dogs!"
Li Ming frowned. The dog that had just run over from a distance didn't have a bald tail, wasn't wearing big floral shorts, and had shiny, oily fur. He could be sure that this was the black dog he spent every day with.
So what's that bald-tailed black dog on the shelf?
The dragon-patterned wooden plaque at Li Ming's waist suddenly swayed slightly. He looked down and saw two conspicuous red numbers, "72," appear on it.
It turns out to be an unexpected visitor that fell into Yunmeng, indicating that it can stay here for three days.
But why is it a dog?
He would rather be a beautiful female ghost than a dog.
Because there's no shortage of dogs here.
Looking at the black dog struggling on the shelf, Li Ming said somewhat awkwardly, "I thought you were my silly dog. I'm so sorry, I'll get you down right away."
The bald-tailed black dog rolled its eyes.
The black dog behind Li Ming bared its teeth: "Are you being polite? You're the stupid one."
Just as Li Ming was about to get the bald, black dog wearing floral shorts off the barbecue, the black dog behind him moved closer to Li Ming.
He nuzzled Li Ming's elbow, his eyes gleaming with a peculiar light.
Li Ming looked at it: "What do you mean?"
The black dog rubbed against Li Ming's elbow while gesturing to the bald-tailed black dog on the shelf.
Li Mingdao said, "You mean to stew this dog?"
The black dog nodded.
That's what it meant. Lately, it felt that Li Ming was a little greedy for it, probably because it hadn't eaten meat in a long time, and it also wanted to eat meat.
Let's just have this dog for a treat.
Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me.
"We are all born of the same root, why are we so eager to harm each other?" Li Ming sighed, because the bald-tailed black dog was related to his Qi cultivation reward, so he still couldn't eat it.
I quickly put it down, untied it, and was just about to ask the dog where it came from.
"I'm suffocating!"
The Black Emperor stared at Li Ming and the black dog that had just tried to stew him. "Good heavens, you actually dared to plot against me! Tell me, who exactly are you?"
Black Emperor stood upright, hands on hips, staring at Li Ming and Black Dog.
Its eyes were filled with contempt and utter disdain.
The dog's expression was so irritating that Li Ming felt an urge to punch it. Suddenly, Li Ming frowned and said:
"You can still talk?"
"This emperor..." The Black Emperor froze, staring at Li Ming, and said, "Dogs can talk, isn't that common sense?"
Li Ming was speechless for a moment. He looked at the black dog in the flowery shorts, then at his own black dog, and said earnestly:
"Look, they're both dogs, but the difference is so huge! It can talk, but you can't. I doubt you're a real dog."
The black dog had a bitter experience he couldn't express: (っ╥╯﹏╰╥c).
Li Ming withdrew his gaze and stared at the dog wearing floral shorts: "You are the same species. Help me figure out what's wrong with my dog. It hasn't spoken for ten thousand years. It feels like it has lost its mind."
Keep bragging, and you'll remain silent for a thousand years.
The black dog looked at him with disdain. "Emperors can only live for about ten thousand years. How could a dog possibly live that long?"
It thought Li Ming was bragging.
Don't scare it by saying it doesn't recognize the Great Emperor. It was saved by the Great Emperor Wushi in its childhood, and in its later years, the Great Emperor Wushi sealed it in the divine source of the ancient Huangshan (Zishan).
Although I don't know why I suddenly came here, I have a feeling that something is not simple.
We still need to find out: "Who are you?"
"My name is Li Ming, and its name is..." Li Ming stared at the black dog, his eyes flickering. He realized he hadn't paid attention to the dog's name in ages—how could that be? He asked, "..."
"May I have your name?"
The black dog made a face: (っ╥╯﹏╰╥c).
Li Mingdao said, "Fine, you can't speak properly."
Black Emperor asked, "Can I write?"
Li Ming added, "This dog can't write."
"Can't write, can't speak, a disgrace to the dog clan," Black Emperor said, hands on his hips.
“I think so too,” Li Ming said.
"Woof woof woof..."
Li Ming used to bully it, but now even a dog bullies it. The black dog couldn't take it anymore. Li Ming couldn't beat it, but surely this dog could.
So it bared its teeth, rushed out without hesitation, and opened its mouth to bite the dog in the floral shorts.
Black King reacted swiftly and showed no fear.
The two black dogs quickly started fighting.
They were all larger than tigers, as strong as bulls, with square heads, large ears, and snow-white canine teeth.
However, the dog with the floral shorts is fatter, so it probably eats particularly well.
The two dogs bit each other, barking loudly, but in the end, neither of them got the better of the other.
"Your dog is incredibly strong," Black King said, standing upright. No matter how hard it bit, it wouldn't draw blood.
"You're strong too, managing to fight the black dog to a standstill. My dog can't do anything, but he's incredibly resilient. No matter how much he's beaten, he won't die. The only downside is that he can't talk; he's a bit dull and not very smart."
Li Ming looked at the black dog and, seeing that it looked a little aggrieved, added, "I didn't mean to belittle you. Just tell me the truth, don't give me that long face."
Li Ming glanced at it indifferently, thinking to himself, "I still need to give it a name."
Even after living together for ten thousand years, it's still a bit much for the black dog to keep barking like that.
What should we name it?
Suddenly, a dog name that left a deep impression on Li Ming flashed into his mind, which he felt perfectly suited the black dog. He smiled and said:
"How about I give you a name now, and you'll be called Black Emperor?"
The black dog looked up: ? ? ?
Black Emperor opened his dog eyes wide and quickly said, "My name is Black Emperor, don't share the same name with me."
Li Ming looked at him.
"Are you the Black Emperor?"
"It is indeed I, the Emperor." The Black Emperor stood up straight, with his two paws behind his back and his hands behind his back, instantly giving off the feeling of a master.
"Are you the Black Emperor under the command of the Great Emperor Wushi?" Li Ming looked at the big black dog wearing flowery shorts in surprise.
How did you know?
The Black Emperor was stunned.
It was saved by the Great Emperor Wushi when it was young, and subsequently followed the Great Emperor Wushi.
In his later years, the Great Emperor sealed it in the divine source of the ancient Emperor Mountain (Purple Mountain). Logically speaking, no one should know about this. How did this seemingly young man know about it?
Who exactly are you?
"Don't be surprised, I know a lot of things."
How could the Black Emperor not know?
During the era of Shrouding the Heavens, the severely injured and dying Black Dog was saved and adopted by the Great Emperor Wushi. In his later years, the Great Emperor Wushi refined the Divine Source Liquid and sealed it in the Ancient Emperor Mountain.
Tens of thousands of years later, when Ye Fan left the Ancient Emperor Mountain (Purple Mountain), he followed him out of the mountain and came to the Stone Village to find food. He eventually stayed at Zhang Wuye's house and passed on the so-called "Black Emperor Scripture" to Wang Shu and Lei Bo.
After Ye Fan returned from the Primordial Forbidden Zone, a conflict broke out between them, resulting in a verbal and physical altercation. Ye Fan jokingly referred to them as "Black Wolf."
Moreover, this dog's most notable characteristics are: it is extremely unethical, preys on acquaintances, cheats and swindles, and keeps people as pets.
"What do you know?" the Black Emperor asked.
Li Ming smiled faintly: "I know everything about your past and present lives."
The Black Emperor thought Li Ming had the potential to be a charlatan, and laughed, "Young man, you have a bright future. How about this, from now on, you will be my concubine and follow me?"
