Chapter 115
Unhelpful Teammates
Su Yuehan's snicker was the greatest act of insult to Qiu Chuqiu and the rest.
Qiu Chuqiu almost leapt in anger. “How dare you insult your seniors' intelligence? Such manners!”
Li Chengfeng looked terrified. “I would never! Why would you say that?”
Qiu Chuqiu roared, his spit flying everywhere, “How could you call a whole person your pet? Such a ridiculous lie! You did not just insult your seniors, you have just insulted the entire Spiritual Mountain Sect!”
Qu Tongqiu and Zhao Yibai next to them quickly echoed, “That's right! Senior Brother Qin, you agree too, right?”
They looked at Qin Mieqin and saw his eye twitch, and his expression solemn. Their expressions froze, hearts sinking.
Li Chengfeng was also secretly observing Qin Mieqin's expression. He knew that the time he spent memorising Spiritual Mountain Sect and Cangjian Court's rules were not wasted. At such a critical moment, he could force his way through a loophole!
Li Chengfeng squeezed a smile that made everyone hate his guts. “May I ask which clause in the precept book bans cultivators from accepting… humans as magical pets?”
“I…” Qiu Chuqiu was stunned. He turned to Qin Mieqin for help only to see Qin Mieqin's face darkened. He raged, “This… this is absolutely inappropriate!”
Chengfeng agreed, “Right, it is inappropriate. How could a human be a pet? But, which rule in the book states that I cannot take a human as a pet just because it is inappropriate?” He bowed at Qin Mieqin. “May I ask, Senior Brother, if there is a rule stopping me from doing so?”
Qin Mieqin's face was green. “There is no such rule.”
Li Chengfeng clapped and grinned mischievously. “Great!
Qiu Chuqiu could not help but blurt in rage when he saw how delighted Li Chengfeng was with himself, “Wait, if he's a magical pet, he must have magical powers! And can you ride him?”
Li Chengfeng then asked Qin Mieqin carefully, “Senior Brother Qin, may I ask, is there a rule stating that a magical pet must have magical powers and be a mount?”
Qin Mieqin's face turned a few shades darker. “There is no such rule.”
Li Chengfeng clapped again. “Great!”
Qiu Chuqiu did not want to admit defeat. “Then what type of beast is your pet? Can you answer that question?”
Li Chengfeng thought for a moment, then looked at the stunned Zhao Xiaobao. “Senior Brother Qiu, haven't you figured that out already?”
Qiu Chuqiu roared, “Nonsense, I obviously don't know what that is!”
As if talking to a particularly slow child, Li Chengfeng sighed. “Senior Brother Qiu, thinking about it. He risked his life coming to me, that's loyalty! That's a dog!”
Huh? Can you even say that?
Qiu Chuqiu almost fainted. “That's a human, how can you say he's a dog? No no no, even so, he cannot be considered a pet either way! No, I mean…”
Li Chengfeng cut him off. “Senior Brother Qiu, I know what you mean but this pet of mine just looks more human than dog. Much better looking than other people's pets too!”
As he spoke, he secretly poked Zhao Xiaobao, who understood.
Although extremely unwilling, they had both grown up together and could communicate with just one look.
Zhao Xiaobao quickly squatted like a dog, panting with his tongue out. Li Chengfeng patted his head and extended a hand. “Left hand.” Zhao Xiaobao obediently extended his left hand and placed it in Li Chengfeng's palm. Li Chengfeng then said, “Right hand.” Zhao Xiaobao then placed his right hand in Li Chengfeng's palm.
Satisfied, Li Chengfeng ruffled his hair and smiled at the tongue-tied Qiu Chuqiu. “Senior Brother Qiu, see? He's a very obedient dog-pet! He's as intelligent as a human!”
Su Yuehan could not hold it in any longer. She turned around, biting her hand as her shoulders trembled. She was terrified of actually laughing out loud.
