“You’re here as well. huh?”

“That’s right. I’m a few days ahead of ya.”

“What’s your reason for being here, power?”

“I want a date.”

“Same…”

“How long have you been single?”

“Two hundred and thirty-three years.”

“Two-fifty. Looks like I’m single longer than you were.”

Two dogs leaned against each other on a parterre. Their mouths were closed, but even only with their eyes, it did not pose any challenge to their conversation.

One of the dogs was black, and the other was yellow.

The black dog that claimed to be 233 years old looked strong despite it’s deflated stomach; the 250-years-old yellow dog was of a tinier frame and an even flatter stomach.

At this point, an office lady strolled in with her phone in her hand. Her other hand was holding the leash to her white Labrador as she walked past the flower bed.

As soon as the Labrador appeared, both of their noses sniffed and they gave each other an indescribable smile. All four of their eyes were following the Labrador.

“You first?” said the black dog, after a moment of greedy glares.

“I’ll let you have her this time,” said the yellow dog after comparing the Labrador’s well-groomed, toned frame with his scrawny, nutrient-deficient one.

“Thanks.”

The black dog thanked the yellow one and confidently strutted over, flexing its muscular physique. However, before it even got close, the office lady shooed it off with disgust, “Where does this rural dog come from, it doesn’t even have a dog tag. Go away, shoo, don’t even try to get close with my Dandan.”

The black dog returned dejectedly to the parterre.

“Your turn,” it said to the yellow dog.

The yellow dog learned the lesson from the black dog. It approached carefully as the owner was playing with her phone. It got near but returned soon after the white Labrador growled at it.

“What happened?” asked the black dog.

“She says I’m not local, and that I smell like a foreigner with no owner, no roof over my head, and that I reek of a poor dog without something to eat. Then she asked me to go away,” the yellow dog was similarly dispirited.

“Fine girls here are difficult to get,” the black dog agreed.

“Then let’s find something to eat, I haven’t had any meals yet since coming here,” said the yellow dog as saliva started to drip from its mouth.

“Same. I smelled something nice from the restaurant over there since arriving. I kept wanting to try the food, but I was too busy trying to get with someone,” said the black dog.

“I smelled it too, but finding a girl seemed more important at the time,” the yellow dog nodded.

The two dogs exchanged glances, smiled, and rushed over to Fang’s Delicious Catering Chain.

Vigilante A was farming in Ji City, but he stopped suddenly as he turned toward his own home to the south, eyes glinting with excitement.

Before long, he leaped into the air and turned into a fiery dragon, zooming toward Qi City.

“Hey, where are these two poor dogs from? Oh dear, they were both hungry. Come one, sit here. I’ll get you some leftovers,” said the restaurant manager Zhao Ying to the two dogs.

She was busy when one of her staff members called out to her, asking her if she wants to chase the two dogs away. They were trying to get in, and neither of them barked or tried to bite anybody.

They did not want to make the call knowing how nice their manager was toward animals. The dogs were stray, but they looked different from other stray dogs in that they did not look dirty. In fact, they were pretty tame too.

“What are these ugly humans saying, she’s letting us eat leftovers? If we want to eat leftovers, would we even be hungry?” said the yellow dog.

The other one nodded, “That’s right, they are looking down on us. We are nobles from the Earthly Hound. We only chose the appearance of a local dog because we’re trying to assimilate better. That’s only because we don’t want to scare them! They still wouldn’t treat us well even after that!”

The yellow dog said, “That’s right. Not only did they not treat us with the best food, they even tried to stop us from entering to the point of trying to make us leave. What logic is that! Let’s push these ugly humans aside and sit down in from of them to eat.”

The black dog said, “You first, you’re earlier.”

The yellow dog replied, “Nah, you first. Young ‘uns should go first.”

The conversation lulled as they both sniffed around, looked to the sky, and said simultaneously, “Together…”

Immediately, Zhao Ying saw the two dogs slam their heads on the cement ground. Before she even screamed, they had already disappeared.

In an abandoned field on the outskirts of the city, wither colored every corner, leaving only the patch of winter wheat spreading their greenness.

Two dogs surfaced from the ridge of the field.

“What was that terrifying presence? I had to escape by digging through the ground like a mouse again. There weren’t many times where I have to escape like that,” said the black dog while panting.

“Me too, in fact, this is my first time drilling through the ground like that. How did that flying dude recover his stamina so quickly?” the yellow dog was heaving.

“He might have found a rich owner who fed him well,” guessed the black dog.

The yellow dog stood up, “Could be. We did not embarrass the nobles of Earthly Hounds. We would rather die than to eat scraps. After our arrival, we have yet to find an owner, so we might not be able to defeat him.”

The black dog continued, “So we will go and find a rich owner, fill ourselves up, and we’ll have a chance defeating him and get with that girl just now.”

The yellow dog agreed, “Good idea.”

While both of them were discussing, they smelled something and turned around. A giant rat their size appeared out of a hole they had dug. Its eyes were cold and cruel, glaring at them with gluttony and hunger.

Both the dogs shuddered at the same time.

The black dog asked while shuffling backward, “Why would there be such a big rat?”

The yellow dog replied, “Let’s catch it for dinner?”

“You go ahead then.”

“No, you go.”

As it finishes, both dogs ran for their lives…

***************

Both dogs’ sudden disappearance was as if they were some fairy tale characters. That bothered Zhao Ying a little. She wanted to return to the restaurant, but someone appeared in front of her.

‘It was my savior! Why did he suddenly arrive? Could it be that he sensed I was in danger and rushed to save me from the two gnarly dogs? No wonder those dogs would disappear!’

Upon that thought, her eyes were twinkling like stars in the sky, she could not even speak. She waved her hand and tried to greet Vigilante A.

Vigilante A, however, looked confused, and disappeared again, leaving Zhao Ying standing in the wind.

Two servers saw their pretty manager with her arm outstretched, but they controlled themselves from laughing out loud.

In the System Space.

The System said, “There were two huge monsters appearing at our place. In terms of size, none of them were less than the Bai’s Elder Ancestor, but their colors were pretty faded. If I weren’t paying attention, I wouldn’t have seen them. I thought they’d be like the Lord of Seven Emotions, descending slowly. I rushed back as a dragon because I was worried someone might get to it first, but it disappeared all of a sudden, what was happening?”

Fang Ning was playing the new game called ‘The Discord of Beasts’. It was very well-designed, he was sucked into it in no time at all. The equipment was indeed obtained only from fights, no one could buy armors with real money, not to mention buying experience.

However, it was more advantageous to him in the early stages due to his cultivation of Elementary Dragon Form. With his overpowering reaction speed, he could easily overwhelm other players. As long as he could penetrate the bosses’ defense, he could take on the bosses by himself. It showed him a path to reform his guild without spending any money at all.

That was why he was not even paying attention to the monsters, he only nodded, “Leave it to Zheng Dao then. Ask him to investigate. Now that he has the Qinggong you gave him, as well as my Morality Shelter, he shouldn’t have any issue safety-wise.”

“Aside from that, he had already built a good relationship with the higher-ups of the Truth Department, as well as registering the new company as an associate to the Special Affairs. Local Special Affairs office would be mindful of that. On top of that, this is our home, we have connections here, I wouldn’t worry letting him handle this.”

As soon as he has someone to order around, Fang Ning immediately stopped racking his brain and outsourced his work.

The System said, “Fine, then. Too bad we wasted a trip back and one full Morality Bar. If it weren’t for the double storage, I would’ve been more careful using it. Ah, well. We’ll stay here in Qi City for a few more days. I wouldn’t want to make another trip after Zheng Dao finished the investigation.”

Fang Ning did not even lift his head, “Up to you, I guess…”

In the depth of some underground room.

The Elder Ancestor of Bai Family was scrutinizing the digital map, thinking while listening to his subordinate’s report.

“You mean, two demon dogs appeared in Qi City?”

“Yessir, I have triple checked with the local Greater Rat King. The two demon dogs looked to be from the Earthly Hound Clan, their bloodline is unknown for now. It’s possible they’re descending physically and were weak, so even a normal greater rat would scare them away. Due to your instruction to not stir troubles so as to not affect the agricultural production, the Greater Rat King had only asked greater rats to keep their eyes on the demon dogs. The greater rats didn’t capture them.”

Elder Ancestor Bai nodded, “Good job. We’re still a step away from developing our own underground food production technology, we need to be patient.”

“Thank you for your praise.”

Elder Ancestor Bai gave it a thought and then said, “It’s almost time, but they were just a little late. I, Bai Yunsheng, will not allow a second demon race on this land. Summon Shixin.”

Before long, a calm-looking middle-aged man in black arrived and greeted the Elder Ancestor Bai.

“No need for formalities. I have summoned you here today is because I need you to eliminate two enemies. Are you willing to do it?”

Bai Shixin said, “I will go even if my brain will spill all over the ground.”

“Aren’t you going to ask who the two enemies are?”

Bai Shixin’s face did not show anything, “I care only their whereabouts, not who they are.”

Elder Ancestor Bai nodded in satisfaction, “I will tell you then. The enemies are in Qi City, they are two Earthly Hound that had just descended not long ago.”
