Lin Suqing squinted her eyes with a smile and said, "I'm not going to ask about those things."
"Ah?" The dog creature was taken aback on the spot, unsure of what else there was to ask, "Let me say this upfront, if I've said before that I can't tell you something, even if you ask now, I still can't tell you."
"I know."
"You know?"
"Mhm."
Turning her head back, Lin Suqing continued picking out fish while she asked the dog creature, "What I want to ask is—do you have any ideas on how to protect the amulet given by my lord so it won't be stolen?"
"Hmm..." The dog creature seemed to hesitate, not responding immediately, but then it saw Lin Suqing starting to prepare the fish for grilling.
