The sun was high in the sky.
Ye City was as safe as ever; as long as there were no Yao Beasts attacking the city, this place was the safest.
In a dilapidated small courtyard.
Xiao Jing quickly entered, having not rested for a moment on his journey.
Zhou Chen hurriedly stood up, "Xiao Jing, is there any news of my Second Uncle?"
"Yes."
Xiao Jing's face was slightly pale; he had run a lot on this journey. "He's doing well now, not a single thing is wrong with him."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great, that's great."
Dog Fugui was very puzzled, "Where did you find him?"
Xiao Jing briefly explained.
Li Wanji smiled, "He even had the mood to take a bath, so he must be perfectly fine."
Dog Fugui's face, however, darkened, "So, you saw everything?"
Xiao Jing lowered his head, "It was unexpected, I... I saw it."
Dog Fugui's teeth gnashed, "That damned scoundrel."
Li Wanji and Zhou Chen were puzzled, both looking at Dog Fugui.
Dog Fugui took a deep breath, a sinister smile on his face.
Very well, just wait until I have a daughter, then I'll trick you out of all your wealth and poison you to death!
The roundabout tactic was still in progress.
Don't think I've given up just like that.
Xiao Jing changed the subject, "In short, he's doing very well, and he also has a Seventh-Grade Earth Dog protecting him."
Li Wanji was surprised, "Could it be that the Rainbow Seven Sisters mistook him for someone else when they sent their message back?"
Dog Fugui sneered, "Obviously, they must have mistaken him for the Yao Emperor."
Zhou Chen didn't care about that, "Did my Second Uncle say when he's coming back?"
Xiao Jing honestly replied, "He said it would take three, four, five, six, seven, or eight days, at most not more than ten days."
Upon hearing this, all three fell silent.
Was it three days or five days? This was as good as not saying anything at all.
Dog Fugui snorted, "His meaning is probably that it will be at most ten days, and at least three days. Alright, Zhou Guniang, you can rest assured, he will be perfectly fine."
Zhou Chen couldn't help but smile, "Oh right, did Second Uncle lose weight?"
"Did he lose weight?"
Xiao Jing's dirty face suddenly flushed, as if he hadn't noticed.
Seeing this, Zhou Chen felt a pang of heartache. Second Uncle had focused on Cultivating his entire life, almost unable to take care of himself. He must have suffered from hunger in the wild.
He truly suffered.
She needed to further refine her culinary Dao to be worthy of Second Uncle's contributions to the Zhou Family.
...
The chicken farm, Mountain Chicken King's territory.
Zhou You was happily eating a braised pork hock, with Dog Fugui lying beside him.
Mountain Chicken King lay on the other side, not daring to move.
Heavens, what was going on with One-Blade Gorge?
As if an unfathomably powerful Dog King wasn't enough, now there was also a Seventh-Grade Earth Dog.
Are they not going to let the small Yao Beasts in the vicinity live?
Dog Fugui's eyes flickered, occasionally glancing at Mountain Chicken King.
Mountain Chicken King forced himself to remain calm, truly terrified.
The monkeys of Peach Mountain were wiped out, and Ten Thousand Snake Cave was also wiped out.
Within a radius of five hundred li, no one could contend with the Dog King.
A Dog King plus a Seventh-Grade Earth Dog could definitely walk sideways.
"In a person's life, only delicious food must not be let down."
Zhou You put down the bone and let out a long sigh.
Another person entered, placed down an egg custard, and backed out.
Zhou You's Left Hand held the egg custard, and his Right Hand held a spoon, eating bite by bite, "Mountain Chicken King, what do you think about the Lion-Tiger Beast matter?"
Mountain Chicken King trembled, "Dog King, this Lion-Tiger Beast is a variant, rumored to even be Eighth-Grade. Xiao Ji is only a Sixth-Grade, and the weakest among Sixth-Grades. You... I..."
In short, they were not on the same level.
Dog Fugui's lips curled, and he slowly stood up, staring at Mountain Chicken King.
The pressure was unrivaled for a moment.
Mountain Chicken King's body instinctively recoiled, "Xiao Ji has a plan."
Zhou You nodded, "Tell me."
Mountain Chicken King trembled, "To the west of this mountain, there grows a poisonous herb. The extracted juice of this herb has no difference from ordinary vegetable juice. Once consumed in excess, even a Lion-Tiger Beast will become paralyzed, unable to move, at least for three to five breaths, it won't be able to do anything."
"Therefore, Xiao Ji thought that we should first prepare the poisonous juice, and then arrange for ten chickens to hold the poisonous juice in their mouths. When the Lion-Tiger Beast eats them, it will also absorb the poisonous juice."
Zhou You laughed heartily, "Fu Gui, look, Mountain Chicken King is quite strategic, isn't he?"
Dog Fugui bared his teeth, "It tried to trick you into killing the Sky Dog. Just for that, it already deserves to die."
Zhou You continued eating the egg custard, "Mountain Chicken King, you'll handle this matter well, won't you?"
Mountain Chicken King hastily said, "I will definitely handle it perfectly."
Zhou You put down the empty bowl, picked up a wet towel, and wiped his hands, "Fu Gui and I still have something to do. I hope that when I return, you will have made all the preparations. Otherwise, you will understand how terrifying the Earth Dog Clan's sense of smell is."
Mountain Chicken King stood up, "Xiao Ji will definitely do his utmost, and will absolutely not flee."
Dog Fugui said coldly, "Some things you'd best keep to yourself, unless you don't plan on living."
The matter of the Sky Dog Clan was no small matter.
They were the most top-tier, most powerful existence among the Dog race. Provoking such an existence rashly was clearly not worthwhile.
Mountain Chicken King nodded hastily, "Yes, yes, I absolutely dare not speak nonsense."
Zhou You walked out with Dog Fugui, facing the sunlight.
He was originally going to the so-called 'Dog God Mountain', which was one of the Earth Dog Clan's places of worship.
Mountain Chicken King sighed inwardly, resigned to his fate.
Fortunately, he had a reason to exist.
Just looking at this huge chicken farm, if he were gone, how much chicken egg supply would the Earth Dog Clan lose?
Indeed, being a chicken and being a person are the same; both require proving one's value.
Zhou You sat on Dog Fugui's back, soaring into the sky in Mountain Chicken King's eyes. The Seventh-Grade Dog Fugui could naturally fly, and could sustain it for an hour.
Flying in the air, Zhou You couldn't help but marvel.
His other dreams could take a backseat; flying was definitely his top priority.
At this position, at this height, he could not only look down on all mountains, but also breathe truly free and unconstrained air.
Dog Fugui's flight was the same as a person's; both achieved flight by generating resonance between the power within their bodies and heaven and earth. As for Mountain Chicken King, it was inherently different from them.
Soaring high in the sky, shrouded in clouds and mist.
"Look ahead."
Dog Fugui reminded, "That's Dog God Mountain."
Hearing this, Zhou You looked out, and amidst the clouds, a tall canine figure appeared. Only when they drew closer could he see clearly.
It was a towering mountain that pierced the clouds, its form like an Earth Dog sitting on the earth, gazing at the sky.
