Chapter 461: The Benefits Of Reading

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fang Ning was only worried for a second then he quickly forgot about it as it did not matter to him. At the worst, he could just put on the second-in-command’s armor and use a few quotes against Sir…

Hence, he simply did not take his words back. Nonsense, if he contradicted himself, how dishonorable would he be?

As the saying goes, ‘You can lose your head, you can bleed, but you cannot lose your face’.

Sir would absolutely not let him lose his head or make him bleed, which was more the reason for him to not lose face.

Therefore, he continued instructing his generals, “Go make your own preparations, we’ll be leaving first thing in the morning. Currently, signs of a chaotic world are becoming clear, it’s the perfect time for righteous figures like us to come forward. In the past when the world fell into disaster, countless innocent people died for no reason due to their lack of power even though they were kind at heart. By god’s will and to meet the wishes of the people, I must turn this situation around.”

Alright, after being tormented by sir, he casually uttered those words, but that was also his real thoughts.

Again, if more innocent people were to die, he would be able to live comfortably no matter how strong he was. Novels, games, movies, animations, these were entertainment sources that he was fond of, but which one of them could develop in a chaotic world?

The four Lake-level powerhouses, namely Sky Eagle, the black and yellow dogs, and the great green insect could naturally tell that the words of their friend/owner/meal ticket were sincere, which were totally different from his usual brags.

If he said that he wanted to save the innocents, he really meant it. He did not intend to gain any sort of advantage from them, and no personal benefits were involved.

In all honesty, they could not achieve a selfless state like him, but they were more than happy to follow a person like that. This was because someone like him would not even harm innocent people, let alone those who were close to him.

…

A certain empty plot of land at the south of the villa’s farm was extremely clean. The winter sun radiated its light upon it, and it looked remarkably warm.

However, at this very instant, the atmosphere appeared to be frozen.

Brett the black dog and Xue Ba the yellow dog were confronting each other.

Both dogs had been serving the Dragon God for over a year but had never exchanged skills. Rhey had been living peacefully together as well. After all, only the black dog suffered losses all the time…

Brett had a simple and honest character, but he was given dog food all the time, and was later than the yellow dog in terms of advancing to Lake-level. He willingly became the younger one for over half a year and also not being able to get more bones, and when all of these issues were accumulated over time, his heart was filled with many grievances.

This was why when their owner said to make preparations for the ceremony tomorrow, it was eager to try since it had greatly improved in strength, it wanted to challenge the yellow dog to see if it could become the boss instead.

When Xue Ba heard that, it wanted to reject at first but after some thought, it felt that it could not let this black dog have things its way. It would greatly affect its image towards its wife, was it going to lose its position as the Dragon God’s chief of followers?

For that reason, it grit its teeth and agreed to it.

As a result, two earthly hounds from the upper realm, former best friends, were currently staring down at one another. A frosty aura filled the air above the ground.

Fang Ning retrieved a cloud talisman ordered by a client from the System Preservation Area. He tossed it to the sky and watched movies as he leaned against it.

Interested, Sky Eagle spiraled in mid-air too and looked down.

It also wanted to understand, what were the capabilities of its partners that came from the reputable Hound Clan from the upper realm?

The great green insect laid on Sky Eagle’s head as usual while munching on a faint-red Dragon Clan Honey-flavored Pill with its forelegs, it was really eating it like a snack.

It mumbled as it ate, “This Dragon Clan Honey-flavored Pill is truly delicious, it is tastier than the chestnut I got from that little hamster.”

Accompanied by the battle of the two dogs, it was like a movie session with snacks, it was having an even more relaxing time than Fang Ning.

At the very least, Fang Ning had to consider Vigilante A’s character, so he could not openly eat pills while watching movies like he did in the System Space.

“Boss Yellow, I’ll have to offend you today. For our owner’s greater cause, I must do my best to prepare for tomorrow’s Friendly Meeting.” Brett stretched itself, producing metal sounds to intimidate the yellow dog.

“Hmph, enough with the useless gibberish. I’ve always known that you thought fate was unfair to you, we came down together and set eyes on the same beautiful hound but she chose me in the end. You secretly resented but didn’t act on it for fear of hurting somebody’s feelings. This is great, demons gain respect through powers, after all, today, let me show you the true difference between us!!”

Xue Ba the yellow dog shifted its body, causing its yellow fur to quiver crazily. It looked just like a majestic lion.

“Tss…” Upon seeing that, Brett the black dog instantly became frightened like how it used to be bullied by the yellow dog that abused its powers.

It subconsciously tightened its metal whip and took a few steps back.

Afterward, it looked stern, it thought to itself, ‘This won’t do, I’m a mythical metal dog now, and a dog of Lake-level, how can I be intimidated still?’

At once, it held its head high and stuck its chest out again. Just as it wanted to stomp its feet, it recalled something then carefully retracted its metal legs, then stared at Xue Ba ruthlessly.

“Hmph, you think you’re so great just because you read a lot? You’ve always fooled me just because you read more than me, did you think I have no idea? Today is the day that I, Brett, will officially establish my ranking. From now on, in this home, our owner is the boss, I’m the second-in-command, and you can only be the third!”

Brett the black dog reached its paw out and declared in an imposing manner.

“Eh, hasn’t our home always been quite peaceful? Since when was there an undercurrent?” Fang Ning was frustrated watching on the white cloud.

He wondered, ‘Sigh, I’m such an arm-flinging shopkeeper, I didn’t even realize the conflict between them.’

“Let me tell you, it’s really that great to be book smart! Stop blabbering, black dog, I’ll make you get a clear understanding of the reality. Even if you’ve activated the mythical bloodline and increased your power, don’t dream about hurting even half of my yellow fur!” Xue Ba the yellow dog shook its body and responded.

“Tch!” The black dog stared at it fiercely, it grit its metal teeth, grinding them together.

“Both of you, enough with it. Start. Quickly.” The great green insect muttered, it could not wait, because the bigger the issue, the more interesting it was. “Right, do you want me to sing to encourage you?”

“No thank you, Miss Daqing, we’ll be done soon, it’s just a little yellow dog, what’s there to fear?” Right after Brett said that, its metallic body vibrated and instantly expanded.

Xue Ba the yellow dog could not dodge in time, it could only watch as the black dog’s body kept getting bigger, which was like a mountain of coal appearing in front of it.

As the dog increased in size, the yellow dog chided, “If you continue expanding and ruin the formation at home, I’ll see how you can fix it…”

“Uh?” The coal mountain stopped growing, it stopped at a hundred meters high, which was less awe-inspiring that being a thousand meters tall mountain.

“Hmph, I can grow too!”

The yellow grow grew bigger as well into a hundred meters tall, the challenge between them restarted.

“Now let me see if your mythical metal skin can withstand my buck teeth.”

It then widened its mouth and shot for the black dog’s tummy at once!

Once again, the black dog tightened its grip on its metal whip, then performed its “Black Dog Flicking Tail” by whipping at the yellow dog mercilessly.

This metal tail was significantly powerful, and sounds of a whip lashing filled the air. Obviously, if it hit the yellow dog, it would have cut through its flesh.

“Eh?! They’re being serious?” The great green insect was appalled, it thought that the dogs were only doing it for fun.

Nonetheless, looking at the power of its attack, if it forced itself to take the hit, the result of it would be clear.

Of course, even when comparing to sworn enemies, the competition amongst brethren would always be the most tragic!

When faced with this danger, the yellow dog shriveled and suddenly disappeared!

The black dog retracted its tail then quickly turned to sense around it.

A brief moment later, its eyes looked confused, then it looked pleased.

“Eh, where did you go to? Old Yellow, you didn’t escape because you’re scared, did you?” The black dog said arrogantly.

“Hmph, you dumb dog, how can I be so ignorant and incompetent like you? If we’re injured, won’t we have to waste our owner’s precious Dragon Clan Honey-flavored Pills? Aren’t you an expert in finding treasures? If you’re so capable, find me, if you can find me, I’ll be the third-in-command and you can be the second!”

The yellow dog’s voice rang from all directions.

“Hehe, very well, I knew both of them won’t really fight. I initially thought that it’ll be a horrific battle, fortunately they still solved it through friendly methods in the end.” Fang Ning was glad. “It should’ve been like this, point your tails towards your enemies.”

“Venerable One, you’re right, I believe these two dogs won’t really fight one another. They must utilize their advantages, one is good at finding treasures while the other is good at hiding. That’s the best way to compare their strengths and it won’t cause any injuries. This is truly the benefit of reading.” Sky Eagle could not agree more.

“Yes, luckily, the yellow dog is hardworking in reading and thought of this idea, or else it’ll really cause some trouble.” Fang Ning nodded and replied.

‘Yes, should they be heavily injured, I’ll have to waste quite a number of pills to treat them since they’re both Lake-level dogs. Sir will certainly appear out of “absolute necessity” again, how is that not troublesome?’ Fang Ning thought to himself.
