Chapter 118: Provoking the Beast Too Much
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Qingluan returned home with the two dogs.
The attendant at the store was concerned that the spirit dog might bully the black dog, so she deliberately kept them apart.
Gu Qingluan carried a cage in each hand.
The originally lively spirit dog in the cage appeared unusually calm.
As for the little black dog… it was also quiet.
Gu Qingluan’s meaningful gaze swept over the little black dog.
The little black dog curled up into a ball and felt a tingling sensation whenever Gu Qingluan’s gaze passed over it.
…..
Could this woman be a pervert?
Why did her eyes look so strange?
“Can you understand me?” Gu Qingluan suddenly asked.
The small black dog hesitated, unsure whether to reveal its comprehension or feign ignorance.
Gu Qingluan narrowed her eyes slightly.
This little black dog had no trace of cultivation, yet it seemed more intelligent than low-level spirit beasts. This was quite unusual because generally, the higher the level of a spirit beast, the higher its intelligence. Animals that hadn’t evolved into spirit beasts weren’t usually this clever.
Furthermore, the appearance of this little black dog was quite unique, and even the neighboring spirit dog seemed afraid of it for no apparent reason.
Several factors combined seemed to indicate its identity—an Ancient 1 fowling Wolf.
The Ancient Howling Wolf was a mysterious primordial beast in the Tianji Continent. Gu Qingluan had read about it in ancient books.
According to legends, the young Ancient Howling Wolf was entirely black, with only a small tuft of white fur on its forehead that was difficult to notice.
Adult Ancient Howling Wolves had strength comparable to that of dragons and phoenixes, but their young were incredibly fragile.
However, the ancient books didn’t mention whether the young Ancient Howling Wolves possessed cultivation or not.
Could she have made a mistake, or did something unexpected happen to this little black dog for it to become like this?
Under normal circumstances, Ancient Howling Wolves wouldn’t appear on the Cloud Plains Continent.
They were extremely aloof and solitary beasts that only lived with their own kind in places far away from humans.
After contemplating for a moment, the little black dog decided to remain unchanged and innocently stared at Gu Qingluan with its damp eyes.
The two exchanged glances for a moment.
Gu Qingluan spoke in a soft voice, “Whether you understand or not, there are a few things 1 need to clarify. Later, we will go see my son. I bought you as a gift to him. If he likes you, you’ll become his pet, and I hope you’ll treat him sincerely.”
She paused for a moment and looked at it meaningfully. “But if you make him sad, I’ll skin you and stew you.”
The small body of the little black dog trembled imperceptibly.
“Of course, if he doesn’t like you, you can just be a guard dog.”
The little black dog:”!!!”
This is outrageous!
From the black dog’s black eyes, Gu Qingluan caught a glimpse of fleeting anger. She smirked, realizing that it understood her words. That made things easier.
“So, your fate is in your own hands. Good luck, little black dog!”
The little black dog really wanted to roll its eyes.
Clearly, my fate is in the hands of you and your son!
As they spoke, Gu Qingluan noticed the main gate of the Gu family.
Then she noticed Xiaonan sitting at the gate and asked in surprise, “Xiaonan, why are you sitting here?”
Feng Yuanxi’s eyes lit up when he saw her, but then dimmed immediately. “Mother, where did you go? I woke up and couldn’t find you.”
His voice sounded aggrieved.
Gu Qingluan inexplicably felt a twinge of guilt.
Her son had been sticking to her so closely lately, and this morning, she had left while he was still asleep, but it seemed she had still made him sad.
She lifted the cages in her hands and redirected his attention. “I bought a pet for you.
Take a look and see if you like it.”
Feng Yuanxi widened his eyes. “Did you specially buy it for me, Mother?”
“Of course!”
Gu Qingluan smiled and nodded.
Feng Yuanxi’s face lit up with a radiant smile. “I love everything you give me, Mother!
You’re so good to me.”
“You’re my son. If I’m not good to you, who else would 1 be good to?”
Feng Yuanxi’s smile suddenly froze.
But he wasn’t her real son, after all.
“What’s wrong?” Gu Qingluan felt puzzled by his sudden change in mood..
