Chapter 1249 - 878: Dog Lord

The Big Black Dog’s eyes were full of vigilance, as if Zhang Chen had done something heinously wrong.

"You pass me the Profound Technique Transformation, and you can propose one condition to me," Zhang Chen spoke to the Big Black Dog, "Name any condition you want."

As for using Ji Feihua as a threat? Zhang Chen still needed to use Ji Feihua to persuade Grandmaster Ji Zun, so of course, he wouldn’t make an issue of her.

The most crucial thing was, he was afraid this damned dog might meddle with the cultivation technique, and if he got screwed over, wouldn’t that be a disaster? So if the other party proposed a condition that he could fulfill, he could handle it for them. He could see the Big Black Dog was in a bad state, making it the perfect time for him to strike.

"You think you can fulfill any condition I propose? You sure have some nerve, kid. I want a Peach of Immortality from the Queen Mother, can you get that?" The Heavenly Roaring Divine Monarch glanced at Zhang Chen sideways:

"If you can find me a Peach of Immortality from the Queen Mother, I will immediately pass you the mantra of the Profound Technique Transformation." The Big Black Dog looked at Zhang Chen smugly, not believing for a second that Zhang Chen could get the legendary peach; he just didn’t want to give Zhang Chen the Profound Technique Transformation.

The Profound Technique Transformation is the supreme secret of his master’s sect, how could it be easily leaked?

Zhang Chen watched the Big Black Dog, afraid it might trick him, so he quickly spun a dice in his sleeve. "Old dog, how about we make a bet? If I really can find the legendary peach, the Profound Technique Transformation becomes mine."

He deliberately set a trap, directly setting the Profound Technique Transformation as belonging to him, so he could take the other’s cultivation technique without needing the Heavenly Roaring Divine Monarch’s agreement, preventing the Big Black Dog from tampering with it.

"What if you lose?" The Heavenly Roaring Divine Monarch asked.

"If I lose, you’re free to name any condition!" Zhang Chen responded without hesitation.

The Heavenly Roaring Divine Monarch’s eyes immediately brightened: "If you lose, you’ll become my pet, how about that?"

It had coveted Zhang Chen for a long time; Zhang Chen was friends with the Princess, so if he became its pet, wouldn’t that mean, by extension, the Princess did too? Wouldn’t it then be superior to the Princess?

"Deal!" Zhang Chen agreed without hesitation upon hearing this.

With the bet settled, Zhang Chen looked at the Big Black Dog: "Follow me to the Inspection and Supervision Department, and I’ll bring you the peach then."

"You really have a peach? How could an object of such divinity be in your possession? You’re dreaming! Don’t think I don’t know your real plan, trying to swindle the Profound Technique Transformation from me and then find a way to weasel out of it. I saw through your schemes long ago." The Heavenly Roaring Divine Monarch’s eyes looked at Zhang Chen with a trace of disdain.

Zhang Chen ignored the words of the Heavenly Roaring Divine Monarch and instead looked up at Ji Feihua across the way: "Once we get to the Inspection and Supervision Department, I’ll take a look at Miss Ji’s injuries."

Upon hearing this, Ji Feihua’s pure eyes sparkled, and her slender figure bowed respectfully to Zhang Chen: "Thank you, if you can resolve my hidden danger, I will certainly repay you."

Zhang Chen responded, "There’s no need for formalities. Although the old dog and I aren’t quite close, we do have some association, and since you’ve helped him, I naturally won’t stand by and do nothing."

Even though the Big Black Dog was currently a powerless ordinary dog, eating a Peach of Immortality would at least restore its strength to the Twelfth Tier, thereby securing him an ally.

Therefore, with regards to the Heavenly Roaring Divine Monarch, Zhang Chen chose to entice and befriend rather than threaten.

The group rode in a carriage back to the Inspection and Supervision Department once more, and Zhang Chen said to Xie Lingyun, "Prepare a Quiet Chamber for me."

Xie Lingyun nodded, "Follow me."

Zhang Chen turned to the Heavenly Roaring Divine Monarch, "Old dog, follow me!"

Dog Master looked at Zhang Chen skeptically, "What’s the deal?"

Zhang Chen stepped forward and grabbed the dog’s head, dragging it as he followed Xie Lingyun: "Just come with me, it’s not like I’m going to eat dog meat!"

Watching Zhang Chen drag the Big Black Dog, the delicate and weak Ji Feihua looked a bit anxious: "Don’t provoke it; if it bites you again, you’ll be in trouble."

Zhang Chen said to the worried-faced Ji Feihua, "Please wait here a moment, I need to discuss some things with the Big Black Dog."

"Kid, let go of me at once! How dare you drag me in front of everyone, have you no sense of propriety?" The Big Black Dog scolded Zhang Chen, biting at Zhang Chen’s wrist in response.

Zhang Chen tried to dodge, but couldn’t, as it seemed that despite the Big Black Dog’s speed appearing ordinary, the Power of Space inexplicably distorted, causing Zhang Chen’s arm to fail in evading.

"How dare you bite me! Let go!" Zhang Chen once again pinched the Big Black Dog’s eyes, arguing as he followed behind Xie Lingyun, heading towards the chamber.

"It seems like you are really familiar with it, otherwise you wouldn’t be messing around like this." Xie Lingyun glanced at the two tussling figures behind her, feeling the veins on her forehead pulse. Along the way, numerous members from the Inspection and Supervision Department passed by, casting strange looks.

"I’m not very familiar with him, but we have quite a good rapport!" Zhang Chen replied.

"What’s the story with this guy?" Xie Lingyun looked at the Big Black Dog, whose face was twisted by Zhang Chen’s grip, and asked.

"Do you know Zhou Chuan?" Zhang Chen asked.

"The renowned number one in Martial Dao, of course I’ve heard of him." Xie Lingyun nodded, uncertain why Zhou Chuan was being mentioned.

"Zhou Chuan was once ridden on the head by him as a human pet!" Zhang Chen mentioned.

Upon hearing this, Xie Lingyun’s smile disappeared, her expression turned stiff. She glanced at the Big Black Dog rolling its eyes: "This fellow... was able to make Zhou Chuan a human pet?"

"He was once a being that transcended the Twelfth Tier, but due to certain accidents, his cultivation dropped." Zhang Chen answered.

Xie Lingyun’s expression became serious, her eyes earnestly fixed on the Big Black Dog, even her address changed from ’it’ to: "What is this Dog Lord’s background? I’ve never heard of it? Is there really such a being that surpasses the Twelfth Tier in this world?"

She directly changed the title to Dog Lord, showing no doubt about Zhang Chen’s words.

"Of course there is! It’s just that they are struggling in the world." Zhang Chen sighed deeply.

"Little brother, quickly let go of Dog Lord, you’re squeezing him to the point of rolling his eyes." Xie Lingyun hurried forward, tugging Zhang Chen’s arm, pulling the two apart, coming to the Big Black Dog’s aid.

"You little girl have some sense. From now on, you’re under Dog Lord’s protection, and you’ll be my human pet." The Big Black Dog circled around Xie Lingyun once, and its form began to shrink into a small puppy, jumping onto Xie Lingyun’s lap, climbing up her waist onto her shoulder.

"No! Get down quickly!" Zhang Chen, seeing this, suddenly felt a sense of ominous foreboding and hurriedly reached out to pull the Big Black Dog down, but was blocked by Xie Lingyun: "Why are you so anxious? Dog Lord doesn’t want to walk, he wants to lay on me for a while, what’s wrong with that? How can you be so tactless!"

Xie Lingyun blocked Zhang Chen’s hand, considerately placing the Big Black Dog on her shoulder. Alas, the next moment, the Big Black Dog jumped onto Xie Lingyun’s head, then lifted its hind leg to perform an action familiar to Zhang Chen.

"Be careful, this beast will spray..." Before Zhang Chen could finish speaking, he saw the Big Black Dog already released a familiar wave of heat, dousing Xie Lingyun’s head.

Zhang Chen’s words came to an abrupt halt, already too late to say more. Watching the disheveled Xie Lingyun, he could only helplessly turn his head to look afar, his back to Xie Lingyun.

Xie Lingyun’s smile stiffened, her voice frigid: "I was wrong! I was terribly wrong! I should have believed you; given your temper, you wouldn’t let the Big Black Dog go without a beating, showing how awful this Big Black Dog must be."

"Ooof... woof woof woof... What are you trying to do, you human pet..."

With his back to the two of them, Zhang Chen heard the miserable cries of the Big Black Dog behind him in the next moment: "If you dare pull my ears again, I’ll bite you!"

"Ah, you actually dare to bite me! Let go now!" Xie Lingyun’s frantic voice rang out: "Zhang Chen, come and help me hold it down, I want to give it a good beating!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen turned his head and saw Dog Lord biting onto Xie Lingyun’s butt, while Xie Lingyun crazily sought Zhang Chen’s help, clutching the Big Black Dog’s eyes, no longer retaining any semblance of a lady. The two were tangled quite messily.

"You little miss, you wanted to be my human pet, yet now you want to back out?" The Big Black Dog rebuked with displeasure.

Watching their comedic scene, Zhang Chen shook his head; the Big Black Dog was still as annoying.

However, the Big Black Dog knew its limits. While it bit without letting go, it never drew blood; even Zhang Chen hadn’t been bitten through.

Zhang Chen stepped forward to pull Dog Lord away, his voice filled with helplessness: "Your cultivation has fallen to the mundane level now, aren’t you afraid of being caught and cooked into dog meat? Why are you still causing trouble everywhere?"

"She wanted to be my human pet, so of course I aimed to make it happen. Only when drenched in my precious liquid and marked by my scent can her soul truly belong to me. She was obviously willing to be my human pet, yet now she’s turning against me." The voice of the Big Black Dog was full of fury.

Xie Lingyun rubbed her rear, though painful, it was not swollen, just her clothes were torn, making her look quite disheveled: "Zhang Chen, don’t you think today is a good day for some dog meat?"

"I feel like having roasted dog leg." Zhang Chen replied with a smile.

The Big Black Dog’s eyes darted, trying to struggle and bite Xie Lingyun furiously, but Zhang Chen grabbed its neck: "Don’t cause trouble for me, stay put, otherwise today I might really go for that roast meat."

The Big Black Dog couldn’t wrench free and was forced to remain quiet, eyes glaring at Xie Lingyun, displeased: "Indeed, my master was right, women are the most fickle creatures."
