Chapter 553: That’s it? That’s it?
That's right, right at my feet.
Today is the day the last batch of finished medicines from the Bai family arrives, and Ye Wanxi, as the designated recipient, must personally come forward to receive them.
As a result, just a few steps after receiving the call, a small, jet-black creature darted out from the bushes beside me.
Ye Wanxi became wary, and the longsword that could instantly freeze water into ice in the Sealed Heaven Domain was already unsheathed, ready to kill him on the spot at any moment.
However, the anticipated conflict did not occur.
The two of them, along with Jun Wuduan and the others who had rushed over after sensing the danger, could only watch helplessly as the little thing shook off the fallen leaves clinging to its body.
Completely different from the nimble and lively figure that had sprung out earlier, he staggered and wobbled as he walked to Ye Wanxi, then plopped down on her feet.
Everyone: "..." That's it? That's it?
Ye Wanxi and Feng Tianyu were equally surprised, but then they couldn't help but feel a strange sensation.
This scene seems...familiar.
The little rabbit, who had tried to scam Ye Wanxi in the same way, saw through the little black dog's scheming and manipulative nature at a glance and immediately bristled.
With a powerful push from its hind legs, it jumped off Ye Wanxi's arms and began to punch and kick the little black dog that had tried to scam its way into being taken in.
The little black dog never expected that after finally following the scent to try and scam someone, it would be suddenly confronted by a thief. After a moment of stunned silence, it didn't fight back. Instead, it barked pitifully in Ye Wanxi's direction, looking weak, helpless, and pathetic, as if it had been bullied terribly.
Ye Wanxi: “…”
If one hadn't already guessed the little creature's identity, they might have been fooled by its pitiful act.
but……
Ye Wanxi stared blankly at the small flame-shaped birthmark on the little black dog's forehead for a while, then tentatively called out, "Charcoal?"
The little black dog, who was busy dodging the bunny's punches, froze when it heard the name. It then forgot to hide its embarrassment and rammed the little rabbit that was pressing down on it, sending it sprawling face-first into the dirt.
Wagging its tail, it rushed to Ye Wanxi's legs, circling around her while barking happily.
"It really is you, Charcoal Head. What happened to you?"
Ye Wanxi bent down and picked up the little black dog. No wonder she didn't recognize it at first; when she picked up this little thing back then, the puppy was even smaller than it is now.
Later, with her careful feeding, the dog quickly became plump, which attracted a senior student from the neighboring peak who loved to eat dog meat to squat at the foot of the mountain every day, staring at it and drooling.
But now, the puppy has shrunk considerably, and its little body is so thin that it's just skin and bones, which makes Ye Wanxi feel heartbroken.
"Cough cough..."
Seeing that Ye Wanxi's attention was completely drawn to the little thing, Feng Tianyu also confirmed that the little guy was not harmful for the time being, so he coughed lightly to attract Ye Wanxi's attention.
Ye Wanxi did look over, then seemed to realize something, her whole body stiffened, she looked at the weak little black dog in her arms in surprise, then at Feng Tianyu, with a look of disbelief as if she had seen a ghost.
"So, Tan Tou is the Hou you're talking about?"
"Um."
"Then why did you put it under the dragon vein?"
"...It's a long story."
The little black dog snuggled in Ye Wanxi's arms for a while, and also glanced at the person who was talking to her.
This sight was quite alarming; he was so startled that he almost jumped up and choked on Feng Tianyu.
Clearly, it had already recognized that the person in front of it was the culprit who had suppressed it for so many years.
Compared to its pure affection for Ye Wanxi, its feelings for Feng Tianyu were clearly more complex.
In its past life, it was taken in and kept as a pet by Ye Wanxi when it was on the verge of death.
Ye Wanxi was the only light in its adversity. When everyone else rejected it, despised it, and wanted to get rid of it, only Ye Wanxi was willing to take it in, protect it, and treat it as an ordinary little animal worthy of living.
Ye Wanxi not only took it in but also saved its life, making her undoubtedly its only acknowledged master.
Therefore, after Ye Wanxi left, it was influenced by its nature and almost lost control, causing a major disaster.
At that moment, it was the person in front of it who stopped it and helped it avenge its master.
Having been together for nearly a hundred years in their previous life, even though the little guy was unwilling to admit it, he had long regarded Fengtianyu as half a master in his heart.
Having been suppressed for so many years, it has both respected and hated Fengtian Domain.
But now that it has found its young master, killing or beating him are obviously not good methods. The only thing it can do is...
"Woof...woof woof..." The little black dog whimpered, burying its head in Ye Wanxi's arms, looking like a fragile little white flower that had been severely ravaged by wind and rain.
The storms that ravaged it were clearly from the Sealed Heaven Domain.
Ye Wanxi: “…”
Feng Tianyu: "..."
Ye Wanxi looked at this scene and didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a brief moment of surprise, Feng Tianyu narrowed his eyes dangerously.
This stupid dog is really an eyesore, whether in the past or now!
The little rabbit, who was completely ignored because of the new companion's return, was also dissatisfied with the little black dog.
Realizing that it might not be able to win the favor of this cunning dog that was good at feigning weakness, it decisively changed its strategy, joined forces with the little jade toad that it had previously disliked, and decided to unite against the newcomer first, and then plan for the future.
Upon learning that Hou had indeed been lured out by Ye Wanxi and the others, Xiao Jihui and the others, who were inside, rushed to the scene and found the three small animals engaged in a fierce battle.
"This..." Xiao Jihui stood there dumbfounded, completely numb.
"Cough..." Ye Wanxi stepped forward and pressed them down with one hand each, "I'm sorry you had to see this."
"Where is Hou? Where is Hou?" Academician Liu followed behind Xiao Jihui, and before they even entered the room, his loud voice had already reached inside.
Once inside, they looked around, eager to see what kind of three-headed, six-armed ancient beast the legend claimed could bring a breakthrough to their research.
Where is it?
Academician Liu subconsciously looked at Xiao Jihui, who then looked questioningly at Jun Wuduan and the others.
The group looked in unison at Ye Wanxi's subordinates. The two men followed their gaze and stared blankly for a moment.
Ye Wanxi noticed the change in their expressions, gave an awkward smile, picked up the little black dog, and cruelly shattered their illusions: "Here it is."
The little black dog, held by the scruff of its neck by Ye Wanxi, showed no sign of resistance. Its front paws retracted, behaving unusually obediently. Its dark eyes stared at the two of them in confusion: "Woof...woof woof woof?"
The two were speechless. "..." This is the legendary ferocious beast? You must be kidding me!
