Night descended, and the moon hung high in the sky.
In the houses outside the Martial Soul Hall, the lights had been turned off early, with only a few still on.
"Woof woof—!"
The sound of barking arose.
Many household lights came on.
The barking awakened everyone!
It continued without stopping.
About fifteen minutes passed!
The little watchdog barked incessantly, as if it could sense an outsider invading its territory!
Its vigilance was high.
"Go away, shut your dog mouth."
"If you keep barking, I'll take you away, believe it or not."
Ye Feng immediately spoke up.
This was a loyal watchdog, barking nonstop at the sight of strangers!
It was warning Ye Feng.
This was no place for idlers!
Or it would bite you to death!
"Hiss—!"
The Martial Soul lit up!
Upon seeing Ye Feng release his Martial Soul, the dog went weak in the legs, then dared not make another sound!
It was truly terrified.
It had never seen such a powerful Martial Soul before.
From the first glance at the Martial Soul, it was evident how formidable it was; if it dared to howl even a few more times, it might lose its life.
Better to stay put!
At that moment, Ye Feng squatted down and looked at Doggie before him!
He saw a black iron chain around the little dog's neck, and in its watery eyes was an innocent expression, looking at Ye Feng.
It wanted to tell him that the barking was not intentional.
"What a pitiful little dog your fate must be too harsh, having no freedom at all; tied by your owner at the front gate, it seems this is your destined life."
"Ah! How miserable!"
"How about, while your owner is unaware, I secretly set you free? Seeing how pitiful you look, I don't want to see you spend the rest of your life like this, all dirty and neglected by your owner, right? Would be better if I just let you go stealthily. You can't be tied up to watch the gate all year long. After all, you only live once; why live so miserably."
Ye Feng planned to set someone's watchdog free!
He was indeed capable of such an act!
"Woof woof—!"
Doggie barked excitedly upon hearing this.
"Hiss—!"
Ye Feng released his own soul force and struck at the iron chain!
"Crack—!"
Suddenly, the iron chain broke, and the little dog excitedly wagged its tail.
"Now go, why are you following me?"
"I freed you so that you could be free, don't you like it, or what?"
Ye Feng looked at it with a puzzled expression on his face!
The little dog kept looking at him.
It did not leave and continued to follow him.
"Are you following me now?!"
"But I do not have the capacity to take care of you, nor do I have the time."
Ye Feng spoke helplessly.
You better go now!
I'm leaving too, had I not felt sorry for you and set you free sneakily, you might well have been killed!
The little dog did not leave, still trailing behind.
It suddenly shed tears from the corners of its eyes.
Were these tears of gratitude or a plea for Ye Feng to take it in and bring it along!
"What's going on, hurry up and leave, don't stay too long, your barking was too loud just now, and your owner might come down to beat you any minute."
"Woof woof—!"
Doggie was barking too loudly.
"Be quiet, or I'll kill you tomorrow."
Suddenly a deep voice sounded.
A burly man walked to the doorway.
He looked at the dog, which was barking incessantly.
"Ow ow—!"
"I told you to bark, keep barking then!"
"Believe it or not, I'll stew and eat you."
The man said.
Doggie was beaten up on the spot.
At this moment, Ye Feng hid in a corner with narrowed eyes.
Observe everything about the other party.
Such a detestable act, harming an animal is simply beastly!
"Stop it!"
Ye Feng shouted.
He just couldn't stand watching anymore.
He decided to deal with this issue and help Doggie once more!
"Hey! That's not right, I see Doggie's leash has been untied. You're not planning to steal Doggie, are you?"
"I thought you looked quite good and seemed honest, how could you stoop to stealing chickens and dogs? So young and already committing bad deeds, aren't you afraid of getting thrashed?"
The man said to Ye Feng.
"Damn it, do I look like someone who would steal chickens and dogs? Look here, big brother, you'd better take good care of your Doggie. You don't seem to love it, thinking only of having it guard your door, without any compensation. From the first glance, I noticed Doggie looking pitiful and weak, as if it hadn't eaten for days, yet you still expect it to guard your door. What are you thinking? Really, I can't understand you humans!"
Such anti-human behavior!
"Hiss—!"
The Bloodthirsty Demon Scythe Martial Spirit appeared before the man.
A beam of soul force emerged in front of him.
This was going to give the man a profound lesson!
Don't be fooled by Ye Feng's youthful appearance.
When he revealed his Martial Soul, the man was left staring at him in shock!
This youngster was not someone to be trifled with!
"What are you trying to do! Don't scare me, okay? Don't think that just because you have some Martial Soul you can do whatever you want to me."
"I'm not afraid of you! If you've got the guts, just come at me directly," the man retorted.
His tone was very aggressive!!
"Oh, is that so? Well, if I knock you to the ground, then this dog will be under my care. Do you dare to bet on it?"
Ye Feng said with a sly smile.
It wouldn't be bad to take Doggie back to the Lingfeng Sect to guard the door.
Plus, I could properly train it. To survive in my Lingfeng Sect, it must learn some skills to protect itself.
At this time, Ye Feng glanced over Doggie!
The grey and white fur was quite cute, but it was impossible to miss the injuries all over its body—it must have been beaten often!
Taking out their frustration on Doggie!
Seeing the man cowering almost made Ye Feng burst into laughter.
His legs couldn't stop trembling!
It was clear he was scared but too embarrassed to refuse, preserving his face at all costs even if he had to bravely endure to the end!
"Of course, I'm not afraid of you. Just do it," the man said in all seriousness.
Meaning, if he really lost, Doggie would truly belong to Ye Feng.
Upon hearing this, Doggie excitedly wagged its tail and moved behind a wall.
It was waiting for Ye Feng to give its former master a beating.
To quickly welcome its new master.
"Bang—!"
Ye Feng didn't use his Martial Soul but his own strength to knock down the other.
The man fell to the ground in an ugly position, flat and subdued!
"Clap clap—!"
Ye Feng clapped his hands.
"Big brother, how do you feel now? Now you know I'm not someone to mess with, I deliver what I promise without any flattery," he said while addressing the man as 'big brother'!
Ye Feng had a sense of humor.
Then Ye Feng walked over to the man.
He squatted down to take a closer look at him.
"I honor the bet and admit defeat. You are indeed impressive, young man. You've earned my respect," the man declared.
The man had been beaten up by Ye Feng and was in too much pain to get up!
So he tried to slowly get up, considering that Ye Feng was quite younger than him by a decade or so!
What a disgrace for a grown man to be beaten by a lad. Hasn't he lost all his dignity?!
What a mess, his face was completely lost.
The man sighed.
"Woof woof—"
Doggie ran behind Ye Feng.
This was its new master!
Ye Feng had fought over a dog.
"Come here, let me take a good look at you. To save you, I had to fight someone. I don't even know if it was worth it."
"Anyway, once you follow me back, you must listen to me. Don't cause any trouble, or I'll kill you!" Ye Feng said with a serious expression.
Afterward, Ye Feng led Doggie in another direction.
