Chapter 133 - A Common Dog
“What?” Ye Hao exclaimed in surprise.
Xiao Ming spoke earnestly, “In Eylas, even Earth Immortals are not uncommon, so I suggest we put an end to this matter here. Besides, while a family like the Faang family may not be able to enlist the help of cultivators, it doesn't mean that cultivators will stand by and let you act recklessly.”
Ye Hao mulled over this for a while before responding, “I need to see some genuine effort from the Faang family.”
“Consider it done,” Xiao Ming replied, clearly delighted.
With Ye Hao open to negotiation, resolving the issue seemed straightforward.
About half an hour later, Xiao Ming informed Ye Hao that the Faang family was willing to offer a billion yuan in cash as compensation and would also transfer ownership of a five-star hotel and clubhouse to him.
As a result, Ye Hao decided to temporarily halt his pursuit of accountability from the Faang family.
Yet, the incident served as a wake-up call for Ye Hao.
“I must always be vigilant about my parents' safety.” With this in mind, Ye Hao had Tang Pianpian drive him to the Supernatural Bureau headquarters.
Upon arrival, Ye Hao was greeted by an unexpected sight.
Over twenty Vixens, clad in black military uniforms, were handling cases with disciplined efficiency.
“You've trained them well,” Ye Hao remarked upon seeing Xiao Ming.
“I did it to help them integrate into human society as quickly as possible,” Xiao Ming replied with a smile.
“However, I noticed that three Vixens have lost their Kidney-Yin,” Ye Hao observed, his smile tinged with irony.
“I lost control for a moment,” Xiao Ming confessed.
“So you assaulted the three of them?”
“How could it be assault? It was consensual,” Xiao Ming retorted, his eyes widening in disbelief.
Ye Hao steered the conversation in a new direction, “I came here to ask if I could borrow a couple of Vixens.”
Xiao Ming responded hastily, “They're all under my command. You already have Qingqing and the others. Isn't that enough for you?”
Ye Hao replied irritably, “What are you implying? I need them to protect my parents.”
“No,” Xiao Ming said flatly, without a second thought.
“Why not?”
“They're now operatives of the Supernatural Bureau. They can't just go off protecting civilians.”
“Is that your final word?”
The dog had just shattered its Monster Capturing Charm. He had thought it was quite formidable.
“Why are you two chasing me?” the common dog demanded, glaring at Xiao Ming and Ye Hao.
“You're a demon. You have no business roaming around a human city,” Ye Hao said with a smile.
“I'm just wandering; I haven't harmed anyone.”
“If that's true, then why speak at all?”
“I was asking for directions at the time.”
“Don't you find it astonishing that a common dog can talk?”
“I am not a common dog. Refer to me as Dog Lord.”
Ye Hao eyed the common dog, feeling a sudden urge to thrash it.
It was utterly shameless!
“Do you think I won't skin you and make you into a dog meat hot pot?”
“You wouldn't dare,” the common dog shot back, rising to its feet and staring down Ye Hao menacingly.
“Why wouldn't I?” Ye Hao retorted, but then he noticed runes materializing around them, quickly transforming into pulsating waves.
“This common dog has trapped us in a formation,” Xiao Ming exclaimed, taken aback.
“Don't call me a common dog,” the dog retorted, squinting its eyes. “I'm in the mood for a human flesh hot pot.”
“Small Five Elements Formation,” Ye Hao muttered, unfamiliar with the formation, though the black dragon recognized it.
Curiously, the formation was defensive in nature.
Why had the common dog lured them into a defensive formation?
“Isn't the idea of a human flesh hot pot revolting to you?” Ye Hao inquired while contemplating how to dismantle the Small Five Elements Formation.
The common dog scoffed. “You're not disgusted by the thought of a dog meat hot pot, so why should I be repulsed by a human one? I suggest you stop wasting time. If you can't break this formation, you're both as good as dead.”
“Xiao Ming, you try to break the formation,” Ye Hao said, turning to his companion.
“I'm not familiar with this formation,” Xiao Ming lamented, his face clouded with dismay.
Although Xiao Ming had a wealth of knowledge on various formations, this particular one was completely new to him.
Ye Hao quickly devised a strategy.
It appeared that the Small Five Elements Formation might be a relic from ancient times.
