Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 580 - 552: Acquiring the First Super Creature~

Beforehand, Li Youu had planned to send a letter to Li Jue during the significant battle between Yuan Liu, saying that he was doing well in Mount Tai, and suggesting that they attack Bingzhou and incidentally fend off the Hu People, guarding the border.

However, upon discovering that they were digging the Zhengguo Canal, Li Youu then had the idea of developing the Yongliang Commandery ahead of time. After all, some matters are more worry-free when done through others. For example, the desired Jizhou was developed through the hands of Yuan Shao. If Yongliang could be developed through Cao Cao, that wouldn’t be too bad either.

Irritated, Chen Xi rolled back home. In an era without psychologists, with not many games to vent frustrations and entertain oneself, it was best to simply roll in bed sheets.

Upon pushing the door open, "snap!" Chen Xi was immediately knocked to the ground by the little white dog that had pounced from his own room’s door. Well, it was just a little white dog less than one foot long, but it managed to knock Chen Xi off his feet.

Chen Xi was somewhat bewildered. He felt as if his intestines were about to break from the impact. Lying on the ground unable to get up, he only reacted after feeling the warmth on the back of his hand. The little dog then seemed to understand human emotions as it nuzzled Chen Xi’s chest and abdomen, apparently trying to help him up.

"All of you..." After Chen Xi managed to struggle to his feet, he saw a few young girls peeking out from his doorway, and his face turned pitch black. He was already annoyed enough, and now this group came to cause even more trouble.

"Why has Marquis Chen returned?" Mi Zhen asked fearlessly. However, seeing how her fingers twitched, Chen Xi knew that this little white dog that had knocked him over must be related to Mi Zhen.

"This is my home, isn’t it right for me to return? Go play elsewhere." Angrily, Chen Xi reached out to grab the little white dog that was less than one foot long. If he couldn’t hold a grudge against the girls, couldn’t he at least vent his frustration on this little dog that had nearly killed him?

"Be careful..." Zhen Mi said in a somewhat panicked voice. She was the one who had found the dog, but didn’t dare to bring it home. As a result, she went to Cai Zhenji, where the Second Miss Cai caught it and gave it a thorough wash, turning its fur pure white, prompting Zhen Mi to have other ideas.

Zhen Mi’s ideas were not so important. What mattered more was that after the dog had its fill at Cai Zhenji’s place, it sniffed here, sniffed there, and then dug up a rock in Cai Zhenji’s backyard, which it swallowed. Following that, it had transformed into its current state.

After being cleaned up by Cai Zhenji, the little dog was already very cute, which was why Zhen Mi got other ideas. After eating that rock, its fur became smoother and sleeker, making it even more adorable.

But these weren’t the biggest change. The most significant change was that the little dog had just smashed through several walls in succession before appearing at Mi Zhen’s home, and then was brought to Chen Xi’s home.

"Rip!" Chen Xi looked at the neat scratch mark on his sleeve, which had not seemed terrifying before. But now, seeing the scratch, he genuinely felt a chill in his heart.

"Marquis Chen, you’d best not go near it; that is no ordinary dog anymore," Taoist Master Zuo said as he held Chen Xi’s shoulder, then turned his head towards an empty space, "If you don’t deal with that thing quickly, who knows what else will sneak in."

"Is this an exotic beast?" Chen Xi asked with furrowed brows. If it hadn’t been for Taoist Master Zuo offering help just now, his arm might have been broken.

"Yes, and it’s a very powerful one at that. When it has absorbed all the accumulated energy inside, it will be comparable to the weakest Inner Qi Manifestation," Taoist Master Zuo said with a frown, "It’s surprising that such a thing is nearby."

Amidst the conversation, Hann Qiong had already come over, holding the little white dog by the neck. His expression was also wary, but he hadn’t made a move to kill it yet.

"Mi Zhen, give me an explanation. What is the deal with this thing?" Chen Xi immediately glared at Mi Zhen. Just by looking at this creature, he knew it was Mi Zhen’s doing.

"Don’t hurt it," Mi Zhen hurried over and, seeing the small dog still struggling in Hann Qiong’s hand but not making a fuss, felt much relieved. "I found this little dog in the backyard, isn’t it adorable?"

"Go play somewhere else, you really dare to bring whatever things home," Chen Xi said with dissatisfaction. "You’re going to be the death of me; this little guy is dangerous."

"It’s not dangerous, look." As she spoke, Mi Zhen stretched out her fair-skinned finger to tease the little white dog that Hann Qiong was holding.

"Slap!" Without a second thought, Chen Xi reached out and slapped Mi Zhen’s hand away. "You foolish girl, do you not want your hand anymore?"

Mi Zhen covered the back of her hand, looking at Chen Xi with tearful eyes, while the little dog in Hann Qiong’s hand also "woof woof woof" barked non-stop, baring its teeth at Chen Xi.

"Marquis Chen, it’s very well-behaved," Zhen Mi said softly.

"Is this what you call well-behaved?" Chen Xi lifted his sleeve, revealing a clear large tear. "If Taoist Master Zuo hadn’t been quick, my hand would have been broken. We might as well cook this thing; it would be very nourishing."

"Woof woof woof!" The little white dog barked wildly at Chen Xi, seeming to understand what he said, and upon seeing Chen Xi still baring his teeth, the little dog, resolutely carried by Hann Qiong, turned toward Mi Zhen and the others and began whimpering pitifully.

[This dog is pretty strange, quite human-like.] Chen Xi thought curiously seeing the little dog’s actions. Thus, he lost the thought of cooking the creature, now curious because the dog clearly wasn’t normal.

"My lord, don’t tease Zhen’er. Just now, the dog sensed your malice and was defending itself," Fan Jian also came out to calm things, liking these small animals herself. After all, there were no children in the house, which felt empty.

"Taoist Master Zuo, will there be a problem raising this dog?" Chen Xi asked, turning his head. He was interested in this kind of super creature that could grow to the stage of Inner Qi Manifestation, which certainly was a magical species.

"While it is quite human-like, in my view, it’s still best not to keep it..." Zuo Ci said, stroking his beard and shaking his head, but he stopped mid-sentence, feeling a strong resentment and couldn’t continue.

"It can be raised if you want to," Hann Qiong, who had been silent, finally spoke up.

"Master Hann, do you have a method?" Chen Xi’s face lit up.

Hann Qiong didn’t reply, but his hand suddenly burst forth with a ball of ice-blue luster, and after a few breaths it dissipated. He casually tossed the little dog out, only to hear an "ow-woo" as the little white dog rolled on the ground and, before it could stand up, was frantically scooped up by Mi Zhen.

"There, solved," Hann Qiong said smugly, completely unaware of the hostile glares coming from behind.

"Hmph, you can keep it now; just don’t get bitten," Chen Xi naturally saw that Hann Qiong had used his Inner Qi to completely suppress the little white dog’s Inner Qi, leaving it nowhere near as ferocious and abnormal as before, at the very worst a bit more robust than a normal dog.

"Hmph, like I need you to tell me, I could have raised it before!" Mi Zhen said discontentedly. "Hmph, you’re so fond of huffing in dissatisfaction; I’ll name you ’Hengheng.’ From now on, little white, you’ll be called ’Hengheng.’" The little dog, teased by Zhen Mi standing beside Mi Zhen, wagged its tail continuously as if it truly understood its new name.
