Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Bubu The Evil Dog
The Sky-Tearing Dog whimpered softly, clearly a bit aggrieved from the kick it had received earlier. It tried to inch closer to Xiao Tianyang but appeared timid.
Xiao Tianyang sighed and thought to himself, 'Forget it, let's make the best of it since you're here.' He waved his hand and called out, "Come here."
The Sky-Tearing Dog slowly approached him.
"Sit down!" "Get up" "Turn in circles!"
After a bit of testing, Xiao Tianyang discovered that the Sky-Tearing Dog was quite obedient, which was good. But there was something strange about it—its tail wagged excitedly, and its face was full of happiness while following the commands.
"I hope it's just a look-alike," Xiao Tianyang reassured himself internally, then focused on the system.
A notification popped up.
Ding
Congratulations to the host, the Sky-Tearing Dog has hatched. Do you want to generate a pet page?
"Yes"
As soon as Xiao Tianyang finished speaking, a small page appeared next to his own, and the avatar on it was the Vicious Dog.
Pet: Ripper Empty Dog [has a chance to change the name once]
Physique: Assassin body [melts into the environment, hard to detect]
Strength level: 10
Soul skills: none
Soul bone: none
Martial Soul: Main Body [Sky-Tearing Dog]
Xiao Tianyang was shocked. The pet he summoned could actually absorb a soul ring and grow?
'At first, I thought I got a Husky, but I didn't expect to pick up a treasure.'
At this moment, Xiao Tianyang no longer underestimated the evil dog. At least it could grow, which was enough for him to pay attention to.
"However, the name 'Sky-Tearing Dog' sounds a bit too grand. It's not good to call you that outside."
Xiao Tianyang thought for a moment, then clapped his hands and said, "In that case, I'll call you Bubu from now on."
The Sky-Tearing Evil Dog tilted its head, as if the name was a bit difficult to comprehend.
Soon, Xiao Tianyang took matters into his own hands and used the only opportunity to change his pet's name, switching it from "Sky-Tearing Evil Dog" to "Bubu."
After doing this, Xiao Tianyang felt lighter, relieved by Bubu's growth. However, at that moment, he noticed something peculiar. Bubu started eyeing the surrounding furniture.
It almost seemed like the dog was thinking, 'Now that the master is still here, I'll let it go for now. But when he leaves, we'll fight for 300 rounds'
"No, this shouldn't have the potential to demolish the house, right?" Xiao Tianyang's heart twitched, suddenly feeling that the system had tricked him.
The next morning, Xiao Tianyang yawned as he got up. As soon as he opened his eyes, what he feared happened.
Except for his bed, all the other furniture in his home was gone. Tables, chairs, and benches—everything except a few legs—had been destroyed!
Among the ruins, Xiao Tianyang saw Bubu. The idiot was still standing proudly, as if saying, 'I'm very proud, come and praise me' This made Xiao Tianyang's mouth twitch.
"You're proud of your work, Right?" Xiao Tianyang muttered with sarcasm.
Shortly after, a series of clattering sounds echoed throughout the house, accompanied by Bubu's howls. The situation started quickly and ended quickly. When Xiao Tianyang opened the door and stepped outside, his expression was no longer one of anger. Instead, he was in a much better mood.
As for Bubu, he followed Xiao Tianyang, oblivious to the earlier scolding. His health was fully restored, and he walked beside his master with a cocky attitude, still looking like a second-rate troublemaker.
When they arrived at the mountain bag, Xiao Tianyang began his warm-up routine. Bubu, who had been busy all night, was lying nearby, sleeping soundly. His tongue was hanging out, and drool was scattered across the floor.
Not long after Xiao Tianyang arrived, he heard footsteps behind him. But before he could turn around to greet them, Bubu acted first. His eyes snapped open, and he leaped to his feet. The lazy, confused expression was gone, replaced by the fierce, wild aura of a beast. He bared his teeth, standing protectively in front of Tang San.
"Who are you?" Bubu growled, eyes focused on Tang San.
Tang San looked at the dog in front of him, then turned his gaze to Xiao Tianyang, who was still puzzled.
Xiao Tianyang clicked his tongue and said, "Who am I? You don't recognize me anymore?"
Tang San blinked, confused for a moment, before his expression softened. "Brother Tianyang?"
"Who else could it be?" Xiao Tianyang replied, a bit speechless. "You must have been struck dumb by blacksmithing, right? You don't recognize me after just one night?"
"It's really you!" Tang San exclaimed, still in disbelief.
"Bubu, step aside, he's my friend."
Xiao Tianyang raised an eyebrow. "What's with your expression? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"
Tang San opened his mouth, but struggled to find the right words. Eventually, he could only step forward, grab Xiao Tianyang by the arm, and say, "Follow me. I'll take you somewhere."
Outside Holy Spirit Village, beside the pond in the forest, Xiao Tianyang stared at his reflection in the water with an expression of disbelief. He even reached out to touch his cheek, trying to confirm if it was really him.
Now Xiao Tianyang understood why Tang San had such a shocked expression when he first saw him. Not only did Tang San look surprised, but even he was unsure. What was reflected in the water was himself.
The original Xiao Tianyang had not been ugly, but he had always been quite ordinary. But now?
He stood with striking elegance, his long, snowy-white hair styled to perfection, neither too short nor too long, gleaming as though fresh from a luxury salon. His transformation was breathtaking; his entire presence exuded a commanding, refined aura.
His face had become sharper, with more defined features—high cheekbones, a chiseled jaw, and an almost ethereal glow. But it was his eyes that stood out most—piercing gray, deep and enigmatic, like a storm trapped in crystal.
Xiao Tianyang stared in disbelief. If he hadn't already confirmed it was him, he might have thought someone entirely different had taken his place.
Sitting down, Xiao Tianyang found himself a little dazed, murmuring softly to himself, but Tang San, who was still some distance away, couldn't hear him clearly.
He was deeply concerned about Xiao Tianyang's strange state. While his appearance had become more striking, there seemed to be something off about him, like he wasn't entirely himself.
"Brother Tianyang, are you okay?" Tang San cautiously approached, gently pushing Xiao Tianyang.
"Oh, I'm fine," Xiao Tianyang quickly came back to his senses, shaking his head. He reached up to touch his face and chuckled. "I guess I just became too handsome and surprised myself. I'll get used to it."
Tang San could only blink, speechless.
However, in comparison, Tang San was more concerned about Xiao Tianyang's health. "Brother Tianyang, are you sure you're okay?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine" Xiao Tianyang stood up and stretched his muscles. "Now I feel full of energy. I could beat you ten times without any problem!"
"That's good." Tang San nodded. Although the situation felt strange, as long as Xiao Tianyang was fine, that was what mattered most.
"By the way, let me introduce you. I found this outside. Its name is Bubu." Xiao Tianyang smiled as he introduced his new companion.
Bubu wagged his tail, trotting over to sit in front of Tang San. Then, it raised its front paws, seemingly offering a handshake.
Tang San looked puzzled. "Brother Tianyang, what is it trying to do?"
Xiao Tianyang scratched his head in embarrassment, glancing at Bubu. "It wants to shake hands with you..."
As he said this, Xiao Tianyang felt a little silly.
