Chapter 707: The giant beast acting cute

How did this Wolf King's style of operation resemble a brat causing trouble everywhere?

But this brat truly had the capital to be arrogant.

"However, Brother Yi, you still need to be extra careful," Zhong Yu's expression suddenly became serious. "Given Thorn's Emperor's personality, the first person he would want to take revenge on after returning should be you."

"Hmm." Xu Tian maintained a superficial calmness, but in his heart, ten thousand alpacas were roaring past.

He only wanted to seize control of the Azure Wolf Hall as quickly as possible and then find an opportunity to inquire about Tang Bingyan's whereabouts; he really didn't want to get further involved in the disputes of the dark forces.

However, things went against his wishes; ever since he arrived at the Azure Wolf Hall headquarters, various disputes seemed to have never ceased.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the office.

"Knock, knock, knock." Soon, Zhong Ling's cold and indifferent voice sounded from outside the door. "Brother Yi, may I come in?"

"Enter," Xu Tian replied.

"Brother Yi, I have brought the Divine Dragon back," Zhong Ling said straight to the point after entering.

"Divine Dragon..." Xu Tian was full of question marks, thinking to himself, what is this? Did the Wolf King raise a dragon?

But even on Wuji Island, such a legendary creature couldn't possibly exist.

"Brother Yi, you haven't forgotten the Divine Dragon, have you?" A dark glint flashed in Zhong Ling's eyes, her gaze fixed unblinkingly on Xu Tian.

"No," Xu Tian said calmly.

The name Divine Dragon couldn't help him distinguish its identity at all.

It could be a person, but if it were a pet, that would also make sense.

"The Divine Dragon has been brought back?" Zhong Yu was somewhat excited. "I haven't seen it for a long time; I wonder if the little guy has grown a bit."

"Zhong Ling was thoughtful this time; I even forgot about it." She turned to look at Xu Tian. "Brother Yi, you said you wanted to raise a pet, but you left the headquarters right after bringing the Divine Dragon back. You haven't seen it for so many years; you must miss it a lot, right?"

"That goes without saying," Xu Tian breathed a silent sigh of relief.

So it was a pet; luckily he didn't say anything extra.

Zhong Ling's icy gaze fell on Zhong Yu like a sharp blade, but the little girl remained completely oblivious.

"Let's go, let's go take a look together." She grabbed Xu Tian's sleeve, looking full of anticipation.

"Let's go take a look; I really haven't seen it for a long time," Xu Tian stood up calmly.

Although he knew the Divine Dragon was a pet, he still didn't know what kind of pet it was.

In order not to be exposed in front of Zhong Ling, Xu Tian's performance remained very cautious.

"The Divine Dragon should also be looking forward to seeing you," Zhong Ling left behind an ambiguous remark and turned to walk out of the office.

Although he had passed the test for now, Xu Tian's mood was still somewhat heavy.

He didn't know what this "Divine Dragon" was. If it were just a common cat or dog, that would be easy to handle; at least it wouldn't be particularly repulsed by him, an outsider.

But if it were some obscure, master-recognizing beast, then he wouldn't be far from being exposed.

He believed Zhong Ling had also counted on this, which was why she used the Divine Dragon to test him.

After all, animals were different from humans; they recognized people by scent.

Even if he disguised himself without a single flaw, in front of an animal, there was absolutely no way to hide.

The three of them got on the elevator, and Xu Tian saw Zhong Ling press the button for the basement level.

He had a strong premonition that this Divine Dragon was probably not an ordinary pet.

If it were truly a cute and obedient little animal, Zhong Ling could have even brought it directly to her office; there would be no need for such a big fuss.

Sure enough, as soon as the elevator door opened, the roar coming from a room on that floor confirmed his guess.

"Awoo!"

This sound...

Xu Tian's heart sank.

It sounded like a wolf.

"Wow, full of energy; the Divine Dragon must have grown up!" Zhong Yu hopped and skipped toward the room where the sound came from.

Xu Tian's footsteps became increasingly heavy, but under Zhong Ling's gaze, he still walked slowly to the door of the room.

"Brother Yi, you'll see the Divine Dragon very soon," Zhong Ling gave Xu Tian a meaningful look and then quickly opened the door.

"Awoo!"

Another roar of a wild beast.

Xu Tian looked into the room and was surprised to see a wolf with snow-white fur.

It seemed quite reasonable for the Wolf King to keep a wolf as a pet.

However...

He was not the real Wolf King; this white wolf would definitely not recognize him as its master. Would his disguise of this period fall short in front of this white wolf?

"Brother Yi, hurry in; don't you miss the Divine Dragon at all?" Zhong Ling looked at Xu Tian indifferently, her eyes seeming to say she had already seen through everything.

"It's just a pet; there's no need to be so excited," Xu Tian's voice was also somewhat cold. "Zhong Ling, do you think I'm the type of person who overflows with love?"

"That's not what I meant," Zhong Ling said expressionlessly. "It's just that the Divine Dragon is a pet you brought back yourself, Brother Yi; it must be different from other cats and dogs. And the Divine Dragon only recognizes you as its master. During this time, even the zookeeper only dared to place food at the edge and couldn't get close; if they were careless, they would be bitten by this beast."

"Of course, Brother Yi, if you are afraid..." Zhong Ling paused and added, "I will have someone send it back to the villa."

"What a joke, why would Brother Yi be afraid of the Divine Dragon?" Before Xu Tian could speak, Zhong Yu spoke first.

"Of course I'm not afraid," Xu Tian nodded.

"Then go in," Zhong Ling made a gesture of invitation, with a hint of watching a show.

Xu Tian had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the room, while his brain worked at high speed, thinking about how to explain if this white wolf didn't accept him.

He remembered Zhong Yu saying that he had left the headquarters shortly after raising this white wolf himself.

Animals were different from people; it not remembering him seemed to be an explainable thing.

Even if Zhong Ling didn't believe it, she had no reason to attack him because of a white wolf.

"Awoooo!"

The white wolf let out another terrifying roar.

Xu Tian stopped his footsteps subconsciously, his heart already prepared with a set of rhetoric.

Zhong Ling stared coldly at Xu Tian, a faint murderous intent emanating from her body.

Sure enough, this guy was a fake!

She would never allow such a fake to swagger through the streets in Brother Yi's name, never!

Just as Zhong Ling intended to make a move, the white wolf had already arrived at Xu Tian's side.

At this moment, the air in the room seemed to have frozen.

"Zhong Ling, you..."

Xu Tian's heart was pounding, and just as he was about to explain, he saw the fierce giant beast actually crawl at his feet, rubbing its furry head hard against Xu Tian's pant leg, looking like it was trying to please him.

"Awoo~ Awoo~"

Zhong Ling:...

Where was the fierce beast now? It was simply a large domestic dog.

Xu Tian looked in astonishment at the white wolf rubbing against his feet, his heart feeling somewhat complex.

What on earth was going on? ===== CHAPTER 708 =====

Xu Tian looked in astonishment at the white wolf rubbing against his feet, his heart feeling somewhat conflicted.

What on earth is going on?
