Chapter 386 - Natural Smithing Technique (1/2)

When the big yellow dog entered the prefecture, there was a huge uproar. Everyone was shocked when they saw the dog due to its st.u.r.dy build and its awe-inspiring dominance. In fact, even Supreme Great Ancestors from the prefecture and the capital were astonished.

After meeting the big yellow dog and confirming that it was one of theirs, everyone became more confident about facing the beast tide this time.

On the other hand, when Ou Yangming returned to the prefecture and saw Ni Yinghong, he felt extremely troubled.

This was because Her Royal Highness was right beside her.

The two beautiful ladies, who had their respective merits, were getting along and were having an amiable conversation, but it looked awkward to Ou Yangming and the other people. Apart from the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors, Woo Lejia, and a few others who bit the bullet and were forced to stick around, the other people made excuses and left in a hurry.

Wu Hanning looked deeply at Ou Yangming and the big yellow dog behind him. She nodded at him and did not want to make things difficult for him, where she simply left with Woo Lejia and the other powerhouses. Ou Yangming sighed a breath of relief. Although he had not done anything guilty, he was relieved to see Wu Hanning leave. Nonetheless, he did not realize that Ni Yinghong noticed his little action, but she did not make any noise about it.

After finally returning to the Ni residence, the big yellow dog insisted on staying in Ou Yangming’s courtyard no matter how the three great ancestors lured it or made promises. Seeing as the dog was so persistent, the elders could only leave helplessly. Even so, they were surprised and overjoyed. The closer the big yellow dog and Ou Yangming were, the more impossible it was for the Ni family and the young fellow to separate.

Ou Yangming’s value had been completely reflected, and it was clear that he was stronger than the whole Ni family. As such, the clan would only benefit from and would not lose anything from sharing an intimate relations.h.i.+p with him.

Nevertheless, the great ancestors were still worried about something. Given that the big yellow dog was so close to Ou Yangming, who would it choose if the young fellow established his clan in the future?

Judging from the look on Big Yellow’s face, they seemed to be able to predict what would happen.

Once the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors left, Ni Yinghong smiled faintly at Ou Yangming, causing him to have gooseb.u.mps. Moreover, the atmosphere in the courtyard became strange.

The big yellow dog looked around, then it immediately lay on the ground to pretend to be asleep.

“Brother, we should endure hards.h.i.+ps together!” Ou Yangming glared at the dog angrily, then he nudged it and said, “Elder Sister Ying has something to say, so quickly get

up!”

Big Yellow snored rhythmically and was not going to open its eyes no matter what. Ni Yinghing grinned and remarked, “Lil’ Ming, why are you provoking Big Yellow? It has been running the whole day, so it must be tired.”

“It’s a formidable half-spirit beast, so how can it be exhausted from that short journey?” Ou Yangming was stunned, then he turned to kick the dog hard. “Big Yellow, get up!”

Despite that, Big Yellow was already set on playing dead, so it ignored the young fellow no matter how hard he tried.

Ni Yinghong shook her head and asked, “Lil’ Ming, how did Her Royal Highness come?”

Ou Yangming paused and instantly answered, “By a carriage, of course.”

“You know that’s not what I’m asking,” Ni Yinghong responded snappily.

“If that’s not what you’re asking, what are you trying to ask?” Ou Yangming looked dazed.

Whenever he was supposed to act like a fool, he would never look smart.

All of a sudden, a loud cough was heard coming from the courtyard.

Old Craftsman waved at the young lady. “Yinghong, come over here.’ Ni Yinghong responded to the old man and went over to him.

“The weather’s good tonight. Come and take a walk with me.”

“Okay.”

With that, Ni Yinghong held Old Craftsman’s arm, and they left the courtyard together.

Ou Yangming wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead. He felt like it was more tiring to handle the young ladies than to fight strong enemies on a battlefield.

Old Craftsman led Ni Yinghong away from the courtyard and suddenly spoke after they were quite a distance away, “Many things happened when you cultivated in the secret realm.”

Ni Yinghong nodded and said, “Old Man, I understand.”

“No, you don’t understand what I mean.” Old Craftsman shook his head and stopped as he explained, “To me, you’re the best, and you’re the only one I acknowledge.”

The young lady looked up abruptly as she was moved. She lowered her head after some time and expressed her grat.i.tude, “Thank you, Old Man.”

Old Craftsman chuckled. “Now isn’t the time to be caught up in love; you must remember that.”

“Yes, don’t worry, I won’t change him at all.” Ni Yinghong a.s.sured the old man without hesitating

The old man patted her hand gently. It was a lovely sight when the old and the young sat in the gazebo.

“Big Yellow, you can get up now. She’s gone, so why are you still putting on an act?” Ou Yangming scorned.
