139 Huahua is a Dog (2/2)
A certain white-clad female who was named as the target of that suddenly questioned herself whether she had failed or not as a Master after years of teaching her disciple everything but how to respect and honor the Master?
Aya just looked at Wang Lu and then sighed. She was too tired to haggle over that with him; in her heart, she couldn’t help but feel somewhat disappointed.
A year has gone by, and Wang Lu has become a lot stronger than before. Obviously, this experiential learning was very difficult for him. His left arm was gone, and some other scars were also visible on his body, however, that didn’t make him unsightly. However, over the past year, Aya wasn't idle either. After looking for some directions, her cooking skill had actually improved by a lot. Even though there was still some gap compared to a standard cooking, right now, her craft was already much better than her initial Look Up At The Starry Sky.
Unfortunately, Wang Lu’s few words just now made Aya feel as if all of this year’s effort from her went down the drain.
Seeing Aya’s wronged look, Wang Lu decisively jerked his foot, kicking the stupid dog in the ass.
”Go, act cute in front of her.”
Although the dumb mutt might not understand the meaning of act cute, stemming from its animal instinct, it was acutely aware of what it should do now.
Thereupon, it shook its tail, ran towards Aya, and gently nuzzled her leg.
The girl pursed her lips and maintained her posture from moving, trying her best to play the role of a frosty woman. However, there was a flicker of confusion in her eyes, as well as slight shiver on her body, which she couldn’t conceal it from anyone.
Wang Lu inwardly sneered ‘Woman’.
Women were often defenseless towards cute little animals. What was the standard of cute? Perhaps there were many of them. However, there was one that was almost universal: stupid enough. From this point of view, the dumb dog was without a doubt the world’s top lovable creature.
From the appearance department, the stupid mutt was also decent. Although its fur color was mottled and it got some injuries from its fight with the Black Poison Corpse General which caused it to be covered with blood, the aura of its chubby eyes could make up for everything. Aya and the dumb mutt just looked at each other’s eyes, and the former’s heart’s defense had already begun to crumble.
If she were still in the Western Continent a few years ago, she wouldn’t have been shaken like this moment. However, after spending several years living in peace in the Spirit Sword Mountain, the girl wasn’t that ice-cold, no-stranger-could-approach anymore. She reluctantly leaned over and touched the head of the dog. A burst of wind blew over, and she then gently wiped away the blood from the dog.
”Is it your pet?” Aya tried to keep her voice steady.
Wang Lu smiled. ”Yeah, I picked it up in the Savage Land.”
”Is there a name?”
”Gou Zazhong [1].”
Aya looked up, her countenance suddenly turned fierce. ”What did you say?”
”Em, I mean… Quan Zouhua.”
”What a strange name.”
”You can call it Huahua.”
”Hm.” Aya gently nodded and couldn’t help but begin to stroke the dog.
”Huh?”
Aya’s eyes suddenly sprang wide in surprise. She then shifted her surprised gaze to Wang Lu. Seeing the latter’s indifferent look, she couldn’t help but slightly furrow her brows. Inwardly, she felt very puzzled.
However, in any case, her previous anger and resentment had been dissipated by the dumb dog’s acting cute charm offensive.
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased up, the white-clad woman decided to step in. ”That’s enough. Wang Lu, take a rest here. Aya and I are going to continue to prepare for the welcome banquet; we have a tight schedule here.”
While speaking, she pulled the girl out of the hut. While walking away, she asked, ”Are you sure we don’t need to prepare some prostitutes at the banquet? I think those gang of nerds must have been looking forward to this scene for a long time.”
Aya didn’t say anything but just firmly said, ”No.”
After the two people have gone away, Wang Lu called the dumb dog—which now has a name Qiqi—feeling very proud of himself—into the hut. Like Wang Wu said, he had just experienced an exhausting and dangerous fight, so he really needed to rest.
On the other side. At the Misty Peak cafeteria, after being silent for a long time, Aya finally couldn’t help but ask, ”Fifth Elder, are you not... surprised?”
The white-clad woman curiously asked, ”About what?”
”Wang Lu’s pet.”
”It’s just a stupid dog…” Wang Wu carelessly browsed a cookbook, thinking that she must give those cultivators from the Ten Thousand Arts Sect a really nice surprise.
Aya had to emphasize. ”It’s not a dog.”
”Of course, since it was picked up at the Western Mountain, it’s a special breed of dumb dog for sure… ”
Seeing Aya’s serious look, Wang Wu put down the cookbook and seriously asked, ”Why? What’s the matter?”
Aya replied, ”It’s a wolf.”
In Wang Wu’s eyes, was there any difference between a dog and a wolf? However, the other side’s point was clearly more than that.
”And then?”
”It’s the legendary terrifying demon wolf from the Western Continent, Fenrir.”
”... What the!”
