TRYMBPIETM 82: Revival of All Things (3)

The large black dog was named Wu Qi. Although it had reached Spiritual Consciousness , it had not cultivated into a demon.

Chi Qingzhou had encountered many demon species, and when he first met Wu Qi, who had only reached Spiritual Consciousness, he was greatly surprised and thus became friends with it.

Coincidentally, Wu Qi’s usual activity area included this upscale neighborhood. On the first day Chi Qingzhou was brought back by the Chi family, he ran into his old friend who was patrolling its territory, and from then on, he would often bring Wu Qi some food and drinks.

Wu Qi accepted the gifts from its old friend happily and would often bring along a group of younger followers to help Chi Qingzhou.

It loved to tell its younger followers how great Chi Qingzhou was, to the point where half of Hexing City’s cats and dogs knew that the best human in the world was Chi Qingzhou, and that their leader had a great relationship with him.

The cats and dogs were well aware that their leader often received gifts from their good friend and were very willing to help maintain their “social connections.”

This made them feel like they were not far from reaching enlightenment themselves.

Wu Qi loved to show off this to its younger followers. Every time it received a gift, it would make a grand announcement before taking the gift to show its younger followers first before savoring it.

Wu Qi’s fateful encounter with Fu Wenan started with a gift—

It was a box of imported dog chew biscuits, beautifully packaged with foreign writing on it, making it look very high-end at first glance.

Wu Qi had seen an owner of a domesticated dog buying this type of biscuit multiple times and was curious about what made these biscuits different from the domestically produced ones.

So, when Chi Qingzhou asked it what it wanted for its birthday, Wu Qi told him it wanted to try these biscuits.

Being such a good friend, Chi Qingzhou was, of course, happy to fulfill this little birthday wish.

Since Wu Qi was a female dog, Chi Qingzhou specially chose a package in a light and dreamy pearl pink color, with some gold foil on top.

Additionally, Chi Qingzhou bought two new toys, planning to give them to Wu Qi on her birthday as well.

Wu Qi had been eagerly awaiting the gifts from her good friend.

However, just before her birthday, a yellow dog from the neighboring city, upset that Wu Qi occupied such a large territory, challenged her.

Although this yellow dog wasn’t a match for Wu Qi, it couldn’t accept defeat and resorted to a sneaky tactic by calling in two human helpers.

In an urgent situation, Wu Qi fought back, injuring the two humans and killing the yellow dog before escaping during the chaos.

Due to her severe injuries, she couldn’t move properly, and since she suspected the two humans were still watching her, Wu Qi couldn’t make it back in time for her birthday.

Chi Qingzhou waited for a while, but when he didn’t receive any help requests from Wu Qi, he assumed she was out patrolling as usual.

Given that Wu Qi had once spent eight months patrolling a territory, Chi Qingzhou, after thinking it over, decided to deal with the biscuits in his hand first and buy Wu Qi some fresh ones later.

Imported chew biscuits were quite expensive, and Chi Qingzhou felt it would be a waste to throw them away. It didn’t seem quite right to give them to other dogs either.

Coincidentally, that day he bumped into Fu Wenan, who was preparing to visit Chi Qingning, and had a sudden idea. He handed the biscuits to Fu Wenan.

Chi Qingzhou didn’t intend to insult him.

In his eyes, humans and other species weren’t much different.

He truly wanted to be friends with Fu Wenan.

He had never met such a conflicted soul before. Since Fu Wenan wasn’t a dog, he perfectly fit the conditions for receiving a gift. Following the principle of not wasting anything, giving the biscuits to him seemed just right.

Unfortunately, Fu Wenan didn’t appreciate the gesture.

Not only did he refuse Chi Qingzhou’s offer of friendship, but he also scolded him for having ulterior motives.

Fu Wenan’s tone carried an air of superiority. “In my eyes, Qingning is the best. You’ll never be better than Qingning. There’s no need for you to play these kinds of tricks with me!”

Chi Qingzhou was utterly confused at the time.

“Although you are quite interesting, don’t you think you’re a bit too full of yourself?”

A human with such a complex aura and soul, who knew how many short-term partners he had had, what made him so confident that he could compare with Xing Shuangzhan?

Fu Wenan didn’t answer and turned to leave, leaving Chi Qingzhou behind, unable to understand why this person had the audacity to compare himself to Xing Shuangzhan.

Perhaps because Fu Wenan was so confident, Chi Qingzhou didn’t even remember what he had said.

Generally, if something wasn’t important to him, he wouldn’t dwell on it.

If it hadn’t been for Wu Qi suddenly insulting Fu Wenan today, Chi Qingzhou probably wouldn’t have remembered the incident at all.

System 16594 stared dumbfounded for a long while before quietly asking, “So, Host, what did you end up doing with the box of chew biscuits?”

“Huh?” Chi Qingzhou tilted his head, eyeing the disheveled Fu Wenxian as he casually answered, “I passed them on to a friend of the hungry ghost variety.”

System: “Uh… is it the kind of hungry ghost I’m thinking of?”

Chi Qingzhou: “The kind that can never seem to get full.”

System: “…” Oh, so it really is!

It stared at Chi Qingzhou incredulously for a while, finally coming to the correct understanding of the various species of Chi Qingzhou’s many friends.

In pain, it shut down its sensory device, no longer wanting to learn about these things.

Such misfortune.

Why was it so careless back then!

Fu Wenan clearly didn’t expect to be remembered by Wu Qi for something as trivial as a box of teething biscuits. When Wu Qi barked angrily, he couldn’t help but shuffle back.

Once he shuffled back, he suddenly remembered there were others watching and stiffly glanced at Chi Qingzhou, almost fainting right then and there.

Wu Qi, seeing this, became even angrier.

“Woof woof woof!”

What do you mean by that?! I didn’t even touch you!

“Woof woof! Woof!”

Don’t you dare fake being unconscious! I’m warning you, you’re trying to pull a scam!

“Woof woof!”

You’re still a young man, so weak, who would believe that!!

Fu Wenan, who didn’t understand, stood there embarrassed and confused: “…”

Chi Qingzhou, who understood, simply said: “Ha.”

Fu Wenan wanted to glare at Chi Qingzhou again.

But as he raised his head, he suddenly remembered how he had been yelled at by Wu Qi earlier. His head froze halfway up.

Seeing him like this, Wu Qi instinctively stepped back two steps, warily watching him.

“Woof woof! Woof woof woof!”

You cunning, fake, shameless human! What kind of scheme are you trying now?! Let me tell you, I will never forgive you so easily!

Wu Qi, remembering what it had learned, couldn’t help but huff at Fu Wenan.

This human was really annoying, not only did he steal its little biscuits, but after Chi Qingzhou gave them to him, he dared to refuse!

Although Chi Qingzhou later gave it a new birthday gift, it still couldn’t let go of the previous one!

Even though that imported teething biscuit was expensive and tasteless, it was Chi Qingzhou’s gesture!

This human was truly detestable!

Wu Qi’s eyes locked onto Fu Wenan, clearly preparing to attack. Fu Wenxian, his scalp tingling, raised his voice to call out Chi Qingzhou’s name.

“What are you going crazy about?! Do you really want to compete with Qingning for the engagement?”

Chi Qingzhou blinked slowly, curiously asking, “How are you still so confident?”

Fu Wenan coldly said, “Stop talking nonsense. What do you want to do to make this dog leave? Just make your demands directly!”

“Woof woof!” Wu Qi barked twice in displeasure.

What’s wrong with this human? I said I was here to ask for an explanation, yet he keeps dragging Chi Qingzhou into this?

Chi Qingzhou hummed and nodded, saying to Fu Wenan, “It’s Qi Qi who wants an explanation from you. If you want to negotiate, talk to Qi Qi yourself.”

“Qi Qi?” Fu Wenan quickly caught on, realizing Qi Qi referred to the large black dog. He sneered, “You know this dog’s name, and still want to deny the connection?”

As expected, this country bumpkin who just returned from a small place couldn’t even think properly. Two sentences and he had exposed himself.

Fu Wenan’s eyes were filled with contempt.

Chi Qingzhou was puzzled.

Was he always like this?

Although he didn’t have clear memories, his intuition told him that Fu Wenxian used to be much more composed.

He asked in confusion, “Can’t you understand human language? I already said it, you offended Qi Qi, so anything that’s wrong, talk to Qi Qi.”

Wu Qi puffed out its chest and proudly barked twice.

That’s right, it’s the one here to ask for an explanation! Don’t drag Chi Qingzhou into this!

Fu Wenan sneered.

Such words were only for fools to believe.

He had never even seen this dog, let alone offend it.

Besides, what could a dog know? It was obviously a human pulling the strings behind the scenes!

Fu Wenan was tired of dealing with Chi Qingzhou, so he warned, “I don’t care what you’re trying to pull, but if you don’t want to be kicked out of the Chi family, you’d better stop with these schemes. I’ll let it slide today, but next time, I won’t be so polite!”

Chi Qingzhou: “…”

This person really might not understand human speech.

He stared at Fu Wenan with a look of astonishment and curiosity for two seconds, then suddenly realized something interesting.

“Are you scared? Are you afraid Qi Qi will bite you?”

Chi Qingzhou carefully observed him and quickly ruled out that guess.

“You look a bit nervous, let me think… hmm, could it be that you’re worried about being seen by my younger brother in this state?”

After all, for Fu Wenan, no matter how many short-term lovers he had, his one true love would always be Chi Qingning.

Fu Wenxian hadn’t expected Chi Qingzhou to call this out. His gaze sharpened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, “Nonsense!”

This really seemed to be fear.

Chi Qingzhou suddenly realized, “You and brother have a really good relationship.”

He looked at Fu Wenan flushed face and veins popping on his forehead, genuinely offering comfort, “Why are you feeling insecure now? Don’t worry, brother won’t think you’re embarrassing. He’s seen you in worse states, hasn’t he? He never minded before, and he won’t mind now.”

“You! You!”

Fu Wenan exploded in anger, his body trembling with burning fury.

“You really twist everything around! Chi Qingzhou, you’re something else!”

Chi Qingzhou, confused, said, “But I’m telling the truth. Do you really think your brother would mind you? That’s impossible, my brother’s a good kid.”

He slightly turned his head, looking to the left, smiling as he asked, “Am I right, brother?”

Fu Wenan was stunned and hurriedly turned his head, only to see his beloved standing at the gate of the villa, staring at him with a blank expression.

In an instant, countless emotions surged from his heart, rushing to his head, nearly making him explode.

Meanwhile, that oblivious Chi Qingzhou continued smiling, slowly asking his beloved, “Brother, why aren’t you speaking?”
