Chapter 157 - 157 - I Still Love Him

Raijin glanced at her with a flustered expression. "I didn't assault you, I promise. I.... I am like this because...."

"Because?" Felia motioned for him to continue.

"Because I am your puppy!" Raijin shouted and hid his red face.

"Huh?"

"I will prove it to you," Raijin suddenly shouted and started transforming. His entire body shrunk and turned into a hairless puppy. His entire body was buried under the layers of clothes. He wiggled and freed himself. With his ears lowered, he slowly tottered over to Felia. 'See, it's me…. don't get angry,' he barked softly.

Both the women in the room froze. For a second they both glanced at each other without any word to convey. Because they both could not comprehend what was happening right in front of them.

"ummm….. what is happening?" Felia whispered with her eyes wide open. She glanced at the little pup next to her feet. "You….. are a man? Then…."

All the things she had done to the puppy ran through her mind. How she shoved him inside her blouse. How she hugged him, how she fought like a hooligan, how he licked her all over her face...… She even changed in front of him. 'ahhhhhhh.... my lady-like image is shattered!' she shouted on the inside.

"I'm so, so sorry. I never meant to mistreat you like that. If I had known you are a human, then I would have treated you better," She whispered holding the little pup's paw. He whined a little and snuggled against her hands.

Jinjue watched all this with her mouth agape. 'Man changing into a dog… then he is..' She snapped out of it and dashed to the princess. She stood in front of her and held her dagger against the puppy. "Princess, stay back, this is a demon!" she exclaimed with a glare.

Long Aotain growled at her exclamation. "Yaa, don't you know the difference between a beast cultivator and a demon. Che," he whispered with disdain.

"the are all the same to me." Jinjue whispered back. Of course she knew the difference, but both beast cultivators as well as demons are considered dangerous to humans. There have been reports that beast cultivators entice humans and suck their chi to breakthrough in their own cultivation. And demons….. they have always taken humans as their food source. Either way, both of them are dangerous and not to be trusted.

She vigilantly watched the little puppy at her feet. There was an inkling of pity, but she knew that she had to be ruthless to protect her princess. She stabbed towards the pup, but a small hand around her waist held her back.

"Please… don't hurt him. Whatever he is, he is still my puppy." Felia shouted as he hugged her maid back. With her eyes, she gestured to the puppy to run away, but he sat down and whined.

"Princesss! Let go! He is dangerous," the maid shouted. She tried to pry open her hands, but Felia did not let go.

Felia firmly held onto her and shouted, "Puppy run away."

The little pup wagged its tail and tottered over to her. 'I won't. I promised I will take responsibility,' he barked. He sat his ass down and watched as the two struggled.

On the sidelines, Xia and Long watched this fiasco. "Aren't you going to help?" Xia whispered secretly to Long.

Long shook his head. "Raijin can deal with it. Among us brothers, he is the one good at dealing with woman." He whispered back.

Xia nodded. 'Maybe they are different from Yukiya' he thought. As far as he could remember, his mother never got excessively angry or happy either. She was like a still river without any waves.

They both watched the women fight without interfering.

"Princess, what would your brother think? This man… no beats has soiled your honor. He does not deserve to live," Jinjue shouted.

"But I like him!!!" Felia shouted.

The entire room plunged in an awkward silence. Jinjue lowered her outstretched dagger with a sigh. With a defeated look, she glanced at Felia. "Why? He is not a human,"

"So what? I like him regardless. If my brother does not approve ten screw him." The princess shouted.

Raijin lowered his ears and hid his eyes with his paws. His hairless skin became bright pink as he peeked at her without any reservation. 'So she likes me. Why does that make me so happy?' he thought in glee. His heart jumped every time she shouted the word 'like'. It was like he was floating up above without any wings.

"I still don't accept this union," Jinjue said resolutely.

Watching all this, Long Aotian stepped up towards them. "Why won't you approve, huh? My brother Raijin is the best man any woman would want. Do you know that he has a long line of woman waiting to throw themselves at him? Your princess should be lucky," he said. The maid's continuous refusal pissed him off so much. Raijin really was a good man. He had always been sweet to him when he was just a child. As Long grew up, he eventually got very close to Raijin rather than Long Ki.

Raijin sniffed, glancing at him. 'Ah young master you….have touched this wolf's heart,' he slowly walked towards him but Felia picked him up and placed him on her lap. "Where are you going? Don't leave" she whispered next to his ear.

"Princess! Stop that! He is a man. You are actually letting a man sit on your lap," Jinjue shouted.

"So what. Raijin is in his pup form. He is not going to eat your princess," Long Aotian whispered with a hump.

Jinjue gritted her teeth and whispered, "He just might eat her. I can't allow this. What would the prince say when he knows about this?" she fretted. The prince of Hales, Felia's brother, would not approve this.

Felia noticed her turmoil. She walked up to her and held her hands. "I really like him. Even when he was a pup I liked him a lot. Now that he is a man I just want to get to know him better."

With a resigned sigh, Jinjue nodded. The final decision was Felia's after all she could not do anything to stop them.

She watched the little puppy lick Felia's face.. "Ah this is an actual dog couple," she whispered.
