"Oh, sorry, got it!" Yan Fei pretended to pull Tiger Da, continuing forward as they walked. It was a blatant pretense — the collar was gone, and he was just clutching a tuft of fur around its neck, calling that a pull?
People adapt pretty well, it seems. Given Tiger Da's continuous docility, everyone, upon seeing Yan Fei's action, had no choice but to reluctantly follow along.
Upon reaching a small grove, Yan Fei got Tiger Da to stand still, waiting for Chen Yingjun's Tibetan Mastiff to arrive.
However, two minutes later, the Tibetan Mastiff did show up but just stood outside the grove, stubbornly refusing to enter. Er Bao desperately tugged at it, but instead of pulling it into the grove, the loyal Tibetan Mastiff dragged him off farther away.
