Chapter 40 - 38: The Talking Canine

Hang Yu asked, "How did this dog come here?""I was just out at the plaza with Niu to buy pheasants when this guy was sneakily following us, trying to steal a chicken. When we caught him, we planned to just teach him a quick lesson, but unexpectedly, he knelt down and started begging for mercy, so we brought him back."

Pang Dahai added, "After all, who has ever seen a dog that can speak human language?"

Hang Yu: "..."

Husky: "..."

Hang Yu coughed twice and said to the Husky, "Do you want to live?"

The Husky nodded eagerly.

Its dog head almost created afterimages from nodding so fast.

Hmm, it seems to be a dog with a strong will to survive.

"Then tell us everything that happened recently in detail, and if you dare to hide anything, you’ll be in the hot pot tonight."

The Husky Spirit quickly recounted its surreal experiences from the past few days, beginning to end.

He was just an ordinary Husky.

Because of his strong (destructive) abilities, he was abandoned and became a stray dog.

Even as a stray, the Husky remained unyielding and self-reliant, battling evil dogs, fighting cat overlords, escaping dog catchers, and avoiding city patrols, surviving in the old city for two or three years.

Until an extraordinary encounter three nights ago.

Changed Dog’s mundane life dramatically.

That night, Dog was particularly lucky and had a feast from a garbage can. As they say, once fed and warm, thoughts turn to lustful desires. He started roaming the small park, hoping to flirt with a pretty female dog.

That’s when it happened.

A beam of light emerged from the woods.

A Husky’s curiosity is strong, wanting to investigate anything it encounters.

Driven by instinct, Dog went into the woods and saw an exotic fruit, vibrant and colorful, hanging from a golden vine.

He gobbled up the fruit in one bite.

The golden little vine quickly withered and disappeared, and Dog fainted.

To this day, the Husky doesn’t know what happened. Regardless, when he woke up, he found his way of thinking and reasoning completely changed. He could even understand most Huaxia language and had the ability to produce human vocal sounds.

He was very hungry.

Very, very hungry.

The Husky smelled the scent of pheasants.

Seeing the people with pheasants, he felt tempted to steal one when they weren’t paying attention but was caught by a big Fatty who called others over to pin him down.

Dog emphasized here particularly.

"Awoo, after years of battles, against evil dogs and cat overlords, me still in fine shape, it was only because of extreme hunger and no energy to resist that they caught me so easily."

Pang Dahai wasn’t in the mood to deal with Dog’s bragging.

He knew full well what a Husky was like.

This is a species unbeatable with words, but instantly cowardly in action.

"Hey, Hang, did you hear? Stupid as a Husky, even they get smarter after eating it, so it must be an extraordinary Spirit Realm fruit."

Pang Dahai’s eyes gleamed as he looked at the Husky.

But he also felt a deep sense of anger and regret.

"This dumb dog really wasted an Immortal Fruit. If cooked up now, could we perhaps extract the nutrition? If I drink a sip of dog meat soup, might my IQ break four digits, comparable to a hundred Einsteins?"

Dog trembled in fear.

This Fatty was truly too wicked.

"Awuwuwu, the fruit’s already turned into poop and been expelled." The Husky Spirit hurriedly interjected, "If you insist on eating, I can take you to find it. Maybe there’s still some nutrition left for you to become smarter!"

"You want me to eat dog poop?" Pang Dahai raged and went to find a kitchen knife, "Stupid dog, you’re dead meat!"

The Husky howled in despair, "Someone, help! Murder! They’re killing a dog!"

Hang Yu started searching his memories.

Looking through the Memory of the Great Sage for something that matched.

Suddenly, a flash of insight, he thought of something. If nothing was unexpected, the fruit Dog ate was likely a treasure called the "Five-Colored Wisdom Fruit."

The Five-Colored Wisdom Fruit is an epic-level Miracle Fruit.

Consuming this fruit can enhance brain development more than ten thousand times in a short period, allowing learning, memory, wit, and intelligence to break biological limits, reaching nearly divine levels before gradually returning to normal.

This fruit is usually used to comprehend and learn extremely difficult skills.

Because mastering top-level skills or cultivation of Inheritance Techniques not only requires Spiritual Qi but also needs a lot of time to practice and comprehend, sometimes taking a year or even several years.

But by eating a Five-Colored Wisdom Fruit.

You can master it in an extremely short time.

Why did the Husky become intelligent and even learn to speak after eating this fruit?

It’s because the Five-Colored Wisdom Fruit can develop the Brain Domain, awakening all information and memories ever present in a creature’s brain.

The things a Husky might have heard or the text he might have seen may not have meant anything to a dog, and it’s unlikely he remembered these pieces of information, yet once information passes through the brain, traces are left.

Under the effects of the Five-Colored Wisdom Fruit.

All previous knowledge and information Were awakened in the mind.

He may never have spoken a word, but has always heard others, right?

Those voices left remnants in his mind, and under the strong effects of the Five-Colored Wisdom Fruit, the Husky gained understanding and learning capabilities millions upon millions of times greater than other dogs, instantly mastering them.

The Husky’s body underwent the transformation of the Five-Colored Wisdom Fruit.

He’s now completely transformed, no longer a mere ordinary dog.

Hang Yu found it very interesting, interrupting Fatty’s dog-slaughtering operation: "Allowing you to live isn’t out of the question. But you need to give me a reason not to kill you!"

The Husky seemed to realize.

This person’s status seemed higher than the despicable Fatty.

He quickly used his clever dog brain to come up with a reason: "Awo, as Dog, I have racial talents. Now I can not only smell scents but also sense and determine the strength of auras, you are much more powerful than this Fat man."

"You can even tell I’m stronger than him?"

"Awowow, I can not only distinguish nearby auras but also those very, very far away. I feel that there’s no human in this whole area stronger than you."

"Is that for real?" Pang Dahai asked Hang Yu, "Somehow, I feel this Dog is deliberately but sucking up."

"He’s not sucking up." The strongest man in Jiang City cut the Husky’s rope, "Alright, don’t worry about this dog, let him follow me from now on."

The Husky regained his freedom, immediately his eyes shone brightly, sticking his tongue out, and said: "Awowow, thank you master for saving me. I am willing to become the master’s loyal lackey, ready to go through fire and water, never hesitating to risk my life!"

See?

This dog can even speak idioms now.

His displays of loyalty are like in TV dramas.

"Enough already." Hang Yu rolled his eyes, "You don’t have to call me master, just call me boss. As for you, from now on you’re called Wang Ergou, got it?"

"Yes, boss!"

"The name Wang Ergou sounds good."

"Just the sound of it feels particularly spirited."

Er Gou narrowly escaped death, wagging his tail happily.

Pang Dahai: "..."

He had no objection to Hang Yu’s absolute authority.

He wasn’t a dog lover, didn’t really like keeping dogs.

After all, having a high-IQ, talking, playful Husky around really wasn’t a wise decision.

Pang Dahai suddenly thought of something and immediately said: "Boss Hang, shouldn’t we send people to search around? Maybe we’ll find more of this fruit!"

"Stop daydreaming, this fruit is exceedingly rare, the chance of two appearing in one place is about the same as Fan Bingbing and Lin Zhiling both chasing after you at the same time."

"Hey, saying it like that doesn’t please me, once I achieve success and fame, how do you know such things won’t happen?"

The Husky wagged his tail and said: "Awo, no matter how rich you get, you’re still just a Fatty."

Pang Dahai was furious: "Dog, you want to die!"

The Husky ducked behind Hang Yu, then peeked out with half a dog’s head, a pair of playful dog eyes displaying a taunting look, "Awo, I’m not afraid of you, I’m now the boss’s lackey. Pardon the blunt words, but my boss could take on thirty of you Fatty types!"

Damn it.

This dog’s gone too wild.

He was just on the brink of death.

Now instantly has become so arrogant.

Pang Dahai felt that in over twenty years of life, he had never so deeply understood the meaning of "a dog flaunting its master’s power"!
