Could it be true that there are no regulations prohibiting the keeping of large dogs in Jinling City? The Prefectural Intendant of Jinling must have neglected his duty.
Lin Wanrong's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. This was no joking matter. With that dog's mouth wide open, he might lose half his head. Moreover, he couldn't be sure if there were rabies vaccines available. Seeing the expressions of the maids who fled, it was evident that they were well aware of the existence of this vicious dog. They all ran away, leaving him alone. These women were truly heartless.
The malicious dog sat at the entrance of the garden, its long, crimson tongue continuously exhaling hot breath. Its green eyes fixed on Lin Wanrong, blocking his way.
Lin Wanrong, having grown up in the countryside, had experience with dogs. Observing the large size and sharp teeth of this wolf-like dog, he knew it was likely raised specifically for fighting. In a standoff between a person and a dog, as long as the person remained still, the dog usually wouldn't attack.
Lin Wanrong was drenched in sweat. Nervously, he stood there, his eyes fixed on the vicious dog. He dared not move. The dog also showed no intention of attacking, maintaining its posture as if challenging Lin Wanrong. He understood that this was a critical moment. If he didn't act cautiously, he might lose his life. His forehead dripped with cold sweat, and he didn't dare to wipe it. His eyes stared intensely at the dog; if the dog made a move, he would run for his life. Damn it, a race between a man and a dog – wasn't this a matter of life and death?
In Lin Wanrong's anxious state, a crisp and somewhat familiar voice came from outside: "Mighty General, go get him!"
Mighty General? Lin Wanrong pondered for a moment. Before he could figure it out, the vicious dog suddenly lunged towards him.
"Help!—" Lin Wanrong desperately shouted. Luckily, his reaction was swift. Lifting his foot, he managed to escape.
"Mighty General, catch up with him and bite him hard," the clear voice of the woman came from outside again.
Lin Wanrong finally understood. So, the malicious dog was named Mighty General. Considering its colossal size, the name was rather fitting.
However, he had no time to dwell on this realization. A sense of dread enveloped him as the vicious dog pursued him. Escaping from a dog was certainly no easy feat. Fortunately, Lin Wanrong's mind was agile. While running, he abruptly changed directions, evading the dog's claws several times, narrowly avoiding getting scratched.
Lin Wanrong, gasping for breath, circled around the yard, dodging the dog's relentless pursuit. Outside, a burst of clear laughter could be heard. However, Lin Wanrong, exhausted and preoccupied with the chase, paid no attention to the appearance of the woman. Mentally cursing her, he continued to run, his fear gradually subsiding.
As a one-man show against a wolf-like dog, Lin Wanrong's achievement was remarkable compared to an average person. However, he couldn't feel much joy. Damn it, scared by this dog, he had lost half of his life.
"Mighty General—," a woman's exclamation reached his ears, followed by the sound of rapid footsteps approaching.
Lin Wanrong desperately wanted to see the woman who had incited the vicious dog. However, he was now utterly drained, and even lifting his eyes seemed like an insurmountable task.
The woman, seeing that Mighty General had met its demise, uttered a mournful cry. Feeling bitter resentment towards Lin Wanrong, she walked over and kicked him several times. "Dog servant, you owe me Mighty General's life."
Lin Wanrong was utterly fatigued, hands still clutching his head, protecting the crucial parts. As the woman kicked his buttocks, he didn't react much. However, a crucial part of a man remained unprotected. If this girl kicked him there a few times, he would probably be left with no descendants. Lin Wanrong silently lamented, feeling powerless throughout his body.
