Chapter 124: The Damned Dog (2/2)
”An animal, no matter how smart, is only an animal. It was shrewd while stealing but he was unable to hide his rapid growth. His size had tripled in just three months, and his body reeked of blood. Finally, he caught our attention!”
”How did you prepare to deal with him?”
”We failed,” said Wang Tianlei. ”Fortunately, he had not yet fully grown. Otherwise, he would not have been wounded at all. Hehe, that time was quite thrilling!”
”But, I never heard anything about it when I was in Qingyang Market, why?”
”You rarely came back from the Qingyang Market. If I have it right, you only came back once, and it was weird!”
Junior Leopard was silent for a moment when his return from Qingyang Market was mentioned. ”Brother, everything went well at that time, right?!”
”Yes, everything went very well. Though, it was strange for you to catch a cold and be bedridden for a long time.”
What Wang Tianlei said finally satisfied Junior Leopard. ”Brother, you should know that some words from your lips could kill you!”
”I got it!” Wang Tianlei nodded with a quiver in his heart when he saw Junior Leopard's composed expression.
Junior Leopard was also not willing to continue this topic, so he asked, ”Then, what? The dog ran away?”
”Yes, he ran into the woods on the hill!”
”Has anyone seen it since?”
”Yes, several times! But, we dare not go deep into the woods. It seems to be living a comfortable life.”
While saying this, Wang Tianlei's eyes expressed a sense of reluctance.
He was a very conceited man. However, for some despicable reason, he was forced to leave the army and he returned to this damned place, marrying a wife and having a son. But, he was reluctant to yield. Even in this damned place, he was out for something big, and, as it turned out, he had done a good job. In just a few years, he turned the starving village into a well-known wealthy village. In his previous life, he must be a pioneer.
However, this achievement did not meet his ambition. This place was too small to develop a proper career. As for Wang Tianlei, who had seen some of the world, dreamed to leave this place and do great things. Just because he knew there was more to the outside world than there was to a small village, with just hundreds of people, hiding on the Misty Mountain. He would have to pay more than he did in this village, of this he was confident, but not arrogant.
Therefore, he had always known his place and stayed in the small village, until, Junior Leopard created a string of marvels, which won his great exclamation.
Junior Leopard was the Inner Core Disciple of the Wu Family, a thirteen-year-old with third-level cultivation, and the bodyguard of the Admiral in the Zhonghe prefecture. In this small village, no one was more aware of the meaning of these titles than he was.
He noticed the signs of a rising star and he saw his chance, a chance he just couldn't pass up.
Because, of this, he was desperate to go to Zhonghejun City with Junior Leopard. Besides, he even conceded to serve as a handyman for Junior Leopard.
While he secretly exulted in achieving his goal, Junior Leopard changed the subject, to another subject, that made him feel a tremendous sense of depression and shame.
”Where did you see the dog in the old woods?” Junior Leopard did not notice Wang Tianlei's unnatural expression. In fact, all his thoughts were put onto the dog.
He had returned to the village for a couple of days. It seemed that he was honorable and decent, but, in fact, he was so tired that he had to seek quiet under the pretext of practicing martial arts and doing closed door training. Even so, he had to meet with some people, such as a few elders and some playmates from his childhood. Naturally, they would talk about something eccentric, since there was nothing left to talk about in this small village. What they already knew was similar to the years before, with the addition of a few more scandals and the sequel to the one-eyed wolf story.
He had seen through the eyes of the Elders in Black Dragon Triad that the one-eyed wolf had left here. But, the sequel of this story aroused his interest.
Just as Wang Tianlei said, the one-eyed wolf's ultimate purpose was mating and breeding, thus killing a number of bitches in the village. Though ridiculous, it was not without effect. The one-eyed wolf got an offspring at least.
The pup was as cruel as the one-eyed wolf but seemed more cunning than him. The hearsay had reminded him of how the one-eyed wolf was subdued by Wang She, and more importantly, the eccentric rune he had left on the wolf's forehead.
He was aware that his present strength was much worse than that of the Wang She at that time. But, this dog was not the one-eyed wolf. The age of the pup seemed to be younger than himself. If he could not deal with the pup, he had lived in vain these years.
Though he had never used such an eccentric rune before, he thought it must have something to do with his divine thoughts. He had gained the Punching Spirit with the third-level cultivation, and Wang She also told him that his divine thoughts were no less than the ordinary seventh-level master, so he may have a chance to succeed, right?
