Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

There are six dogs in total.

Five at Xu Garden.

One with Xu Zhangqing.

But now, the only one unafraid of Wangwang is that black dog opposite, with an equally sturdy build.

Xu Zhangqing looked him up and down: "Dao Friend Xu Garden, your black dog is no simple matter either."

Xu Garden smiled proudly: "This dog is named the Ink Jade Suanni, possessing a trace of the Suanni's ancient bloodline. Don't be fooled by its current size — it's actually only eight months old."

What is a Suanni?

According to past accounts, it is one of the Dragon's nine sons.

It belongs to the ranks of divine beasts.

In the Tianyuan Realm, comparatively speaking, it also possesses Demon Emperor-level Dao Xing, strength, and status.

Xu Zhangqing froze for a moment, looking left at the Ink Jade Suanni, right at Wangwang.

Good fellow, his own Dog had been raised for several years, fed Spirit Rice and Lingti every day, only then reaching the size of a calf.

Yet the one opposite is even more heaven-defying — merely possessing a trace of the Suanni's ancient bloodline, it can actually match Wangwang at around five years old in terms of build.

Moreover, facing Wangwang's provocation, this Ink Jade Suanni neither grew angry nor aroused its ferocity.

Its gaze was extremely calm, even utterly waveless.

Hu Bugui reminded: "Senior Brother, too many male dogs, easily provokes fights."

Upon hearing this, Xu Garden waved a hand, putting away the four male dogs, leaving only the female.

However, Wangwang still bared his teeth.

His eyes even revealed a hint of... disdain.

Hu Bugui was surprised: "Looks like Wangwang doesn't like your dog."

Xu Garden has five dogs total; only the field dog is female.

The other four are all males.

If Wangwang liked her, he would absolutely have gone up to sniff immediately.

But now, he clearly looks completely uninterested.

Xu Garden, having raised dogs for years, naturally saw this, his face full of regret: "What a pity. If they could mate, I'd truly want to keep a pup."

In his view, Wangwang this kind of field dog belongs to the finest of the finest.

In all these years, there has been only this one.

Pity there's no fate with his own.

Xu Zhangqing didn't dilly-dally, laughing lightly: "Can only look for the next one."

Xu Garden expressed excitement: "I'll go with you all, want to see whose dog Wangwang ultimately chooses."

Immediately, three people, two dogs headed toward the Left Side.

Hu Bugui found nearly ten people total, only five were interested.

They are respectively: Xu Garden, Wu Qiuya, Zhao Mo, Li Handan, Ruan Jie.

Among them, the most likely to succeed is Xu Garden's female dog.

Only pity Wangwang didn't take a liking, even showing a bit of disdain.

Not long after, the three arrived at the second household.

Xu Garden realized: "So it's Junior Sister Ya!"

Hu Bugui nodded lightly, introducing along the way: "Senior Sister Ya's female dog is only two years old."

However, upon meeting, unexpectedly it was the same old story.

Just like with Xu Garden's dog, Wu Qiuya's was also disdained by Wangwang.

Anyway, no interest, kept baring teeth, couldn't even be bothered to approach.

Thus, could only continue to the next.

Result: from three people, two dogs, it stubbornly became four people, three dogs.

Wu Qiuya and her raised female field dog also joined the group.

The atmosphere instantly became lively.

"Your Wangwang is really picky!"

"Senior Brother Xu's he doesn't like, mine he doesn't like either!"

"After all, a supreme field dog, this much is understandable!"

Along the way, the few chatted back and forth.

Soon arrived at the third household, namely Zhao Mo.

Never expected, the situation finally changed.

Only, whether Xu Zhangqing or Hu Bugui and the rest, all wore strange expressions.

Because the one Wangwang took a liking to, or rather showed interest in, was not Zhao Mo's female dog, but rather a female wolf he raised.

No, accurately speaking, a golden-haired female wolf.

Its whole body fur seemed cast from melting gold, flashing dazzling brightness under the sunlight.

Every single hair on its back stood straight and stiff like metal threads, gleaming with a silk-like luster yet exuding the cold, hard texture of metal.

But Wangwang just had to dare to ride it!!!

Even though its abdomen was covered in wounds, blood flowing freely, it still refused to give up.

On one hand, it flashed an ingratiating smile at this golden-furred she-wolf.

On the other hand, it kept searching for angles, adjusting its posture.

This scene stunned all five people and four dogs present.

Hu Bugui couldn't help but ask, "Lao Xu, your Wangwang is into this sort of thing?"

Xu Zhangqing's mouth twitched: "I... I don't know either!"

Xu Yuan snickered on the side: "Worthy of being a supreme specimen among village dogs, indeed not ordinary."

Wu Qiuya glanced at Zhao Mo, then asked, "Why not give it a try?"

Wolves and dogs can interbreed to begin with; this sort of thing is commonplace in Spirit Beast Valley.

Quite a few disciples and Immortal Masters conduct private experiments, actually creating spirit beasts with bizarre abilities.

Zhao Mo looked thoughtful: "Trying is fine, but if two are born, I must have one."

Xu Zhangqing didn't refuse: "Deal."

Xu Yuan hurriedly chimed in: "Count me in, three pups and I get one."

Wu Qiuya followed close behind: "Me me me... four pups and I get one."

Xu Zhangqing and Hu Bugui exchanged a glance, trading looks, then said, "You're all Senior Brothers and Sisters of Lao Hu, so this face must be given."

Therefore they didn't refuse, agreeing to all of it.

If there's only one, let Xu Zhangqing raise it.

Two, Zhao Mo gets one.

Three, give one to Xu Yuan as well.

Four, give another to Wu Qiuya.

As for how many there will be.

As long as this golden-furred she-wolf conceives, results will show in about two months.

At this moment, a vibration came from Xu Zhangqing's Lightly Vitality Gourd — a Communication Talisman had lit up.

He took it out to look; it was brand new, seemingly hardly used.

Upon connecting, he learned the other party was Lin Ya, on duty at the Spirit Field Periphery.

The talisman didn't state the specifics, only urging him to make a trip there as soon as possible.

Xu Zhangqing handed the Spirit Beast Ring to Hu Bugui, instructing, "Wangwang's yours; whenever it's done, send it over."

"Right." Hu Bugui nodded in agreement.

Then, Xu Zhangqing bid farewell to Xu Yuan and the others, and drove the Big Leaf Grass away swiftly.

Not long after, he passed by the Pillar Python again, unable to resist a glance.

It appeared to be resting, eyes closed, perfectly still.

But in reality, after Xu Zhangqing's careful observation, he discovered it wasn't so.

Logically, after basking in the sun this long, its body temperature should have changed.

Yet in reality, the Pillar Python's entire body remained strangely cold, not a trace of warmth detectable.

Xu Zhangqing saw it in his eyes, and speculated in his heart: "Could there be secrets in Spirit Beast Valley too?"

But regardless of whether there are or not, it has nothing to do with him whatsoever.

Therefore, he decisively left this place.

After a good while, he finally arrived at the Spirit Field Periphery.

Just as he arrived, he heard an astonishing piece of news from Lin Ya.

What?

An Outer Disciple who only joined this summer, on their very first planting, cultivated a mutated spirit plant.

Xu Zhangqing's eyes went wide in an instant: "For real?"

Lin Ya nodded vigorously: "For real, I have no need to joke with you about this!"

Hiss!

Xu Zhangqing sucked in a cold breath, hurriedly asking: "Is this Outer Disciple male or female?

What's their name?"

Lin Ya blurted out: "Male, name's Miao Huayu!"
