Chapter 981 - 256: Mountain Guardian Fierce Beast, Really Not Here to Stir Up Trouble (5k)

Yu Ziqing looked at the dumb dog's transformation with great delight.Previously, it only knew how to choose between a severe beating and a daily beating.

Now, having been tempered by a Heavenly Tribulation, it's likely gained the intelligence of a Border Collie.

If it can recover some memories of past experiences, it might not be able to describe them precisely, but it should be able to answer simple questions.

The only uncertainty is what the outcome will be.

Yu Ziqing looked at the shrunken dumb dog and didn't rush to ask questions but first praised it a bit to comfort it.

"Not bad, after the tempering, you can walk around now. You no longer need to worry about Heavenly Tribulations in the future.

When we return, being a Mountain Guardian Fierce Beast would suit our Jinlan Mountain quite well.

Even if the village chief wants you to cooperate with some research, he'll be more restrained."

The dumb dog understood this and kept nodding, overjoyed.

In the beginning, it was beaten to a pulp by the village chief, broken into pieces, yet it couldn't die.

That was truly infuriating and hateful, but after so long, the dumb dog had long forgotten what it thought back then.

Its temper was forcibly worn down by the village chief.

So now, it was exceedingly happy just to think that the beatings wouldn't be as severe.

Yu Ziqing looked at the dumb dog, feeling a certain awkwardness similar to bullying a fool.

If it were an outsider, it wouldn't matter how he tricked them. But now that the dumb dog had been designated as the Mountain Guardian Fierce Beast, Yu Ziqing was not inclined to fool a simpleton.

Yu Ziqing patted the dumb dog's body and laughed.

"Don't worry, after we return, I'll personally speak with the village chief and ask him to be restrained."

The dumb dog felt relieved and never planned to run away from the start.

It was frightened too much; on one hand, the village chief's intimidation power was indeed overwhelming.

Additionally, with its somewhat plain wisdom, it could also understand that the Heavenly Tribulation's disappearance seemed somewhat abnormal, appearing to avoid this very kind and easy-to-talk-to person.

Moreover, the other person had restrained Evil Qi with a natural aura of authority, which deterred it from entertaining other thoughts.

It was just an ordinary Fierce Beast, even if it was much smarter than other Fierce Beasts, it was still just a Fierce Beast. y percent, yet it remained a giant.

With departure impending, Yu Ziqing initially planned to sit on the dumb dog's back, taking it as a mount.

Unexpectedly, the dumb dog's form changed, morphing into something akin to a dark light or black water and flowed into a metal box.

It even closed the box lid on its own.

Seeing the dumb dog retreat to its perceived safest place, Yu Ziqing shrugged it off, figuring this way was also more discreet.

As the Heavenly Tribulation dissipated, Yu Ziqing looked towards Silver Lake.

Seeing this mirror-like, boundless Silver Lake, he recalled its origin.

Quietly sighing, fortunately, the dust had settled now; the once mighty Dadui had experienced numerous tribulations.

Having also endured the Earth Deity's chaos, the Emperor Dui's purges, he continued clearing.

Though forcefully eradicating much of Dadui's foundation, it cleansed the filth, leaving a blank slate-like Dadui, open for anyone to shape.

He would have to find time to visit the Southern Sea and pay respects to his sister-in-law and her husband, Ji Meng.

Previously, he asked them to take in the two Ninth Tiers from the Liao Family, but Yu Ziqing never had time to visit.

Now he received a reply, hearing that those two Ninth Tiers from the Liao Family were so content they didn't want to return, practicing quietly, even more obedient than expected. They really treated themselves as if they had died, for safety's sake, they truly never contacted the outside nor inquired about the Liao Family's affairs.

Furthermore, his sister-in-law indeed was sincere, saying she would save him a nice island, and she truly did.

Just earlier, he occasionally heard that there was an island in the Southern Sea with excellently stable climate conditions and other great aspects.

Some people attempted to seize it, but as they went, they vanished, rumored that a top expert was cultivating there.

The customary words became reality, with no exaggeration, Yu Ziqing, in terms of relationships, must take a visit.

He could also see if he could take control of the Silver Lake Forbidden Land; even if he couldn't take it, at least find a way to control it.

With such an extensive Forbidden Land, once Dadui returned, it would lose a substantial territory for nothing, including the vast regions influenced by the Silver Lake Forbidden Land's radiation, at least several times, even ten times the size of Silver Lake Forbidden Land.
