Chapter 37: I’ve Seen This Scene Before

Big Yellow?

The little girl’s talent for naming things was as moving as her sharp tongue.

Mo Xiaobai coughed lightly, about to enter, but the little girl running wildly in the courtyard suddenly stopped and looked towards Mo Xiaobai outside the gate with a happy expression.

“Lord Mo, you’re here?”

After saying that, Dong Yiyi waved towards the other side of the courtyard. “Big Yellow, come say hello to Lord Mo. I’m taking you to his territory.”

As the girl’s voice faded, a creature as big as her leaped out from a corner Mo Xiaobai couldn’t see and crashed against the front gate of the Dong Residence with a loud thud.

It had a round, bulging head, staring straight at the stranger before it with two narrow, vertical pupils.

Golden fur radiated outwards in circles around its head, and its dark, large nose stood out amazingly.

“A lion?”

Mo Xiaobai unconsciously shrank back the step he was about to take. This creature in front of him, weighing at least several hundred catties, looked at least eighty percent like a Lion.

“It’s not at all! Big Yellow is an Ancient Bear-Lion Dog, a very well-behaved little puppy!”

Dong Yiyi responded proudly, stroking the Bear-Lion Dog’s forehead with her right hand. “Big Yellow, say hello to Lord Mo. Later he will give you lots of delicious fish.”

“Roar~”

After Second Miss Dong spoke, the Bear-Lion Dog, which already stood at least 1.5 meters tall without its head down, suddenly opened its three-flapped mouth and let out a “friendly” roar at Mo Xiaobai.

The sound was loud and the momentum was shocking, but the more Mo Xiaobai listened, the more he felt this creature was just a Lion.

How could it possibly be a little puppy?

The word “little” should describe cute things like Panda Hamsters and hamsters, right?

By the way, where’s the hamster?

Didn’t the two pets meet earlier, and was the hamster eaten by this big dog because it failed to get attention?

Just as Mo Xiaobai imagined some inappropriate scenes in his head, a lump suddenly appeared on the back fur of the Bear-Lion Dog, and then a black-and-white head appeared in Mo Xiaobai’s view.

“Squeak~ Squeak squeak~”

Once the little creature saw who had arrived, it immediately revealed its whole body from the Bear-Lion Dog’s fur, scurried to the dog’s forehead, and stood on its front paws to greet Mo Xiaobai.

This little guy really has a big heart!

Aren’t you afraid of slipping and falling straight into the Bear-Lion Dog’s mouth?

Mo Xiaobai’s mouth twitched. The animal world was indeed something a mortal like him could not understand. He was about to ask the little girl to lead him to meet the head of the Dong Family, the father of the two girls, when Mo Xiaobai suddenly stopped moving. He stared fixedly at the scene before him without blinking.

I have seen this scene in my past life!

Although there were slight differences, the overall picture was the same.

“City-Protecting Divine Beast!”

“Golden Blood Suan Ni, and the Panda Hamster!”

That’s right!

It was that very photo!

In Mo Xiaobai’s past life, a photo of a Divine Beast with a dog’s head and a hamster standing on it spread six years later.

At that time, Miss Dong of the Dong Family had followed another Dang Mountain Lord for a very long time. With the support of that Great Lord, Dong Zhen was able to refine the Soul Returning Pill.

That Lord was, in Mo Xiaobai’s past memory, the first general in the central area of Dang Mountain to upgrade his Territory into a Prefecture City.

From building a village, to a town, then a County City, and finally a Prefecture City.

The entire path to upgrade a Territory was very long, and the difficulty of building a Prefecture City would increase by multiples. The requirement to own a City-Protecting Divine Beast once made almost all County City Lords feel desperate.

It was only after they gave up on upgrading their Territory to a Prefecture City that this desperation would turn into helplessness and slowly fade away with time.

After all, a City-Protecting Divine Beast was a rarer existence than an SS-grade Historical Celebrity. Moreover, Divine Beasts were unlike famous human scholars; even if one walked past you many times, you might not even know its identity.

They couldn’t be captured, and you couldn’t even find them.

In Mo Xiaobai’s past life, the very few top Players who upgraded to Prefecture Cities mostly owned only one City-Protecting Divine Beast.

This was true even for the player with the ID Guming Diaoyu, who had a powerful force behind him.

But this one from Dang Mountain was so lucky it exploded. On the day he upgraded, a China-wide announcement from the Huaxia Region was triggered.

There was no other reason; it was simply because he had two City-Protecting Divine Beasts.

“In my past life, many people speculated on where the two Divine Beasts of Ice Fire City came from, but no one knew the most accurate answer.”

Thinking about the content he saw on the Forum in his past life, Mo Xiaobai’s gaze towards the dog and rat before him suddenly became strange and surprised. Young Master Lanshan, the Lord of Ice Fire City in the past, must have acquired these two pets with Divine Beast quality at the same time he gained the Dong sisters’ loyalty.

It was completely free labor!

If this had happened to anyone else, how could they have guessed it?

Guessing such a result would make them so depressed they would spit up three sheng of blood!

“Is it because of Dong Yiyi’s Heavenly Fragrance Inner Body talent? She doesn’t just attract ordinary animals; even Divine Beasts feel affection towards her?”

In the blink of an eye, Mo Xiaobai understood many things. It seemed that although Dong Zhen made a name for herself on the Plane in the past, this Second Miss Dong was not inferior to her sister at all.

Perhaps the reason she wasn’t as famous was also related to her personality.

Even though the little girl confusedly brought in two Divine Beasts, she only treated them as playmates. Perhaps that was exactly why she could easily attract rare Divine Beasts to come close.

“Hey, hey~”

Mo Xiaobai was so lost in thought while pondering these questions that he only came back to his senses when a small hand kept waving in front of him.

The Little Girl then withdrew her arm, tilted her head and thought for a moment. It seemed she remembered something, and her eyes lit up. “You are still young, so you get absent-minded easily. Hmm, my sister said that people like this should definitely not be too busy with marital duties at night. Yes, my sister said that. Lord Mo, do you remember?”

What?

Was my absent-mindedness because I did that thing too much at night?

A stream of black lines fell from Mo Xiaobai’s head. How did the Dong Family’s early childhood education teach this? Dong Zhen, as the older sister, was too irresponsible. How could she teach everything so recklessly?

Deciding to have a serious talk with Dong Zhen back at Daming Village, Mo Xiaobai immediately changed the subject. “I came to deliver a family letter to your sister. Take me to meet your father.”

“Then come with us, Little White, Big Yellow, let’s go.”

Upon hearing they were going to find their father, the Little Girl actually showed a ladylike posture, slowly walking towards the hall with her three-inch golden lotus feet, while the two pets, one big and one small, mimicked her example.

At first glance, if you didn’t know better, you might think a young lady from a noble family was taking her cute pets for a walk in the courtyard.

“This acting skill must have been trained since childhood.”

Mo Xiaobai, watching from the side, wanted to laugh, but when his gaze fell on the Bear-Lion Dog and the Panda Hamster, it became a bit hotter. Since he had already hijacked the future Medical Immortal of Young Master Lanshan, Mo Xiaobai had no objection to taking these two Divine Beasts back to Daming Village.

Hmm, the hamster came from Daming Village anyway, so what he truly needed to take back was just that Bear-Lion Dog.

With the Divine Beast so close, Mo Xiaobai seemed to see his future Daming Prefecture City waving at him.
