Chapter 392: Talented Actor

Late autumn, a cold wind blew, and there were few pedestrians on the streets of Dublith.

A rather large, black-and-white 'stray dog' wandered on the street.

The 'stray dog's' gaze was mournful, its whole body was dirty, and its stomach was growling with hunger.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was very desperate, and that aggrieved little look was very sympathetic.

"Hoo~."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang sighed, looked back at his unscrupulous master, and that little look conveyed a meaning.

'Even if pretending to be a stray dog, there's no need to go hungry.'

"Looking at me is useless. The moment to test your acting skills has arrived. If this matter succeeds, I'll treat you to a big meal when we go back."

Hearing about a big meal, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang immediately gained spirit and ran quickly toward a butcher shop.

Izumi Curtis's alchemy is not weak. Although her husband is not an alchemist, his combat power is not inferior to an alchemist.

If in close combat, this burly man nearly two meters tall can even face a homunculus head-on.

This burly man was standing at the meat stall selling meat at this time, dressed simply, his figure seemingly a bit bloated, but he gave people a sense of power. This is a man like a bear.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang approached the meat stall, seemingly wanting to get close, but also somewhat afraid of humans, seemingly because he was often beaten and scolded by humans while wandering.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang is a talented actor; both his expression and actions were exceptionally engrossing.

"Stray dog? The body size is not small. I don't know what breed it is."

Izumi's husband picked up a knife, cut off a small piece of meat, and threw it to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang turned and ran, but stopped after running a distance, looking at the piece of meat with burning eyes, seemingly wanting to eat it very much, but afraid.

"It's okay, eat it."

Izumi's husband shook his head; this dog might have suffered a lot.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang timidly approached, tentatively biting the piece of meat on the ground, and looked at Izumi's husband, his gaze seemingly asking: 'Can I really eat it.'

"Eh~, it seems to have been trained. Such a dog is lost; the owner should be very anxious."

Although Izumi's husband didn't like dogs much, this dog gave him a different feeling, as if it had a natural affinity.

"Eat it."

Getting the consent of Izumi's husband, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang wolfed it down.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang wept in his heart. Except for the period just after he was born, he hadn't eaten raw meat for a long time, and raw meat didn't taste good at all.

It's no wonder Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang would be like this; usually, he eats whatever Su Xiao eats, so his appetite is naturally picky.

After 'wolfing down' the raw meat, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang licked his mouth, looking satisfied.

"Where did the dog come from?"

Izumi Curtis walked out of the butcher shop and noticed Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang at a glance.

"Not clear, a stray dog, but very smart."

"Smart?"

"Yes, it should be a trained dog, maybe even a military dog."

Izumi Curtis nodded and stopped looking at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

The couple's butcher shop business was very good, and the meat was sold out by noon, while Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had been squatting at the door of the meat stall, looking like he was guarding the house.

"Honey, this dog is very interesting. You gave it meat, and it actually helped us guard the house. It's really rare."

"Hmm, this is a very excellent dog; it has been sitting there for three hours without moving."

"Why don't we adopt it? If its owner comes looking for it, let it go with the owner."

"Good."

One hour later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang squatted in front of the Izumi couple. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had already taken a bath, his fur was bright, and he was full of spirit.

"This..."

Izumi Curtis had a headache. This dog looked like it had an extraordinary background, but she couldn't bear to give up such a smart dog.

"Let's take it in for now. It's just a dog, and there won't be any dangerous things."

"Hmm, makes sense."

The couple temporarily took in Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's undercover mission succeeded; 43 points of charm attribute is not for show.

After the couple left, the confusion in Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's eyes disappeared, and his wolf nature appeared.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's nose twitched, and after sensing that the couple hadn't gone far, he lay on the ground.

Su Xiao opened a room in a nearby hotel, waiting for news from Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

Originally, Su Xiao thought he would have to wait a few days, but unexpectedly, two days later, he heard Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's barking.

"Woof, woof woof woof."

The barking was rhythmic, conveying one meaning: the protagonist brothers are back.

Su Xiao didn't appear; it wasn't the time yet.

In Izumi Curtis's home, Izumi was lying on the bed. Her body had never been very good.

There is a reason for this; Izumi had performed human transmutation.

The Izumi couple is very loving, but for some reason, the two had never had children. However, through the couple's 'efforts,' Izumi found out one day that she was pregnant.

Because of an accident, Izumi miscarried. This was something the couple couldn't accept, so Izumi performed human transmutation, wanting to transmute their unborn child.

The transmutation failed as expected. Izumi lost part of her internal organs and forever lost the possibility of becoming pregnant again.

Izumi was severely traumatized because of this and came to a small town to live in semi-seclusion, even flatly refusing the country's recruitment.

At this time, Edward Elric and his younger brother stood outside the room, looking nervous.

"Is Master okay?"

Edward Elric looked at Izumi's husband. As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened.

Edward Elric's body twitched, and he turned his head stiffly.

A foot wearing a slipper kicked Edward directly in the face, and Edward screamed and flew far away.

"Unfilial apprentice, I heard you became a lackey of the military?"

Izumi glanced at Edward and turned to look at his younger brother, Alphonse. Alphonse was so scared he didn't know what to do.

"Mas... Master, this is because..."

Hearing the somewhat familiar voice, the anger on Izumi's face disappeared, but she felt a chill in her heart, feeling something was wrong, but she didn't show it.

"Al? You've grown so big."

Izumi's expression was gentle, and Alphonse walked forward quickly.

"Teacher, are you well?"

As soon as Alphonse finished speaking, Izumi suddenly grabbed Alphonse's arm and threw Alphonse to the ground.

Thump.

"Your training is not enough."

Although the expression on Izumi's face was very calm, a huge wave rose in her heart. Alphonse's armor was empty; one could tell from the sound of him landing.

"Teacher, is your body okay?"

Edward patted the dust off his body, his back a bit sore.

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? I'm only pretending to be energetic because you came, ugh~."

Izumi spat out a large mouthful of blood, and the Edward and Alphonse brothers were shocked.

"Teacher! x2"

One day later, Su Xiao sat on the roof of a building. The Izumi couple was running quickly on the street, with Xiang Bubu Teni in front.

Soon the couple ran near Su Xiao, and both immediately noticed Su Xiao on the roof.

"Remembered the scent?"

Su Xiao spoke, asking Xiang Bubu if he remembered Alphonse's scent.

"Woof,"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked loudly and jumped onto the roof with a few leaps.

"Who are you?"

Izumi shouted loudly.

"Who am I? Hmm~, thank you for 'taking care' of my partner."

While speaking, Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang jumped to another roof.

The Izumi couple was dumbfounded; they had actually been deceived by a dog for several days. ===== CHAPTER 393 =====
