Under the phoenix tree, raindrops ticked off the leaves.
Madam Xu clung to Yang Dongxiong's arm, tears dripping down with a pitter-patter.
Liang Qu opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, his gaze shifting to Long Yao and Long Li.
"It wasn't us!" Long Yao and Long Li hastily contradicted in suspicion, "The inside of the house was cleaned, and if wind and sand confounded the courtyard outside, that's not on us!"
Liang Qu couldn't help but laugh.
Splish splash.
Wulong crookedly stuck out its tongue, shaking its fur, flinging water off its body.
However, countless water droplets halted mid-air, not dropping into the pond but curling back onto Wulong, smoothing down the hedgehog-like spines that had just puffed up.
"Wu~"
Wulong whimpered and lay down.
Its paw pressed over its nose, its gaze lifting upward, the large black eyes looking toward Liang Qu.
Everyone burst into hearty laughter.
