Chapter 46: Spirit Dog

  Two small dogs were cautious when they first arrived in the Lian Yao Hu space, even the lively Yuan Bao was squatting at Xiao Ping's feet and didn't dare to run around. It is said that animals' senses are much more sensitive than humans, and the little dogs obviously sensed the extraordinary place here.

  However, the environment of the Lian Yao Hu space is really good. From the perspective of a cultivator, it's full of spiritual energy. For ordinary people and animals, being in the Lian Yao Hu makes them feel refreshed and energized, as if they have endless strength. The two small dogs quickly fell in love with this place, Yuan Bao started running wildly on the grass, even Hei Bao moved its body around, sniffing here and there, wagging its tail very happily.

  "Be good and play here, I'll let you out to eat in a bit!" Xiao Ping patted the two dog heads and left the Lian Yao Hu space.

  Xiao Ping arranged the farm's affairs and chatted with Old Wang, the construction team leader, about the renovation of the small building. By the time he was free, it was already evening. Remembering that the two little dogs were still in the Lian Yao Hu space, Xiao Ping hurriedly found a secluded spot to enter the space, wanting to see how the two little creatures were doing.

  As soon as Xiao Ping entered the Lian Yao Hu space, two black shadows rushed towards him. Unprepared, Xiao Ping was pounced on, and before he could react, two wet and soft things had already licked his face. Xiao Ping frantically pushed away the unknown objects on his face, took a closer look, and couldn't help but blurt out a curse: "Damn it!"

  The ones that rushed up were none other than the black leopard and Yuanbao, which Xiao Ping brought into the Lian Yao Hu space at noon. In just half a day's time, the two little dogs had completely adapted to this place and became even more lively than before. The black leopard, which originally had problems with its hind legs, was now jumping around Xiao Ping in circles, and the deadly rickets disease had completely healed, as if it had always been a healthy little dog.

  The black leopard's recovery was well within Xiao Ping's expectations, after all, the Lian Yao Hu was quite extraordinary, and curing a small dog's rickets was naturally not a problem. What really surprised Xiao Ping was Yuan Bao and Hei Bao's jumping ability, the two small dogs could easily jump to his shoulder height, which had completely surpassed the capabilities of canine animals, even stronger than feline animals that were good at jumping. Xiao Ping really didn't expect that the Lian Yao Hu space would have such an effect.

  "Is this considered evolution?" Looking at the small dogs jumping around him, Xiao Ping could only think of this reason.

  Let the two little dogs play in the Lian Yao Hu space for a while, Xiao Ping said softly: "Hei Bao, Yuan Bao, come! Take you out to eat!"

  As soon as Xiao Ping's voice fell, the two small dogs seemed to have understood and ran over, surrounding his feet and wagging their tails while barking happily. Looking at the clever appearance of the small dogs, Xiao Ping finally realized that the Lian Yao Hu space not only evolved their motor skills but also increased their intelligence by a lot.

  "Not bad! Not bad!" This discovery made Xiao Ping feel great: "From now on, the security of the farm will depend on these two little guys!"

  Xiao Ping brought Hei Bao and Yuan Bao to the outside of the Lian Yao Hu space, and prepared a bowl of meat sauce fried rice for each of them. The two little guys had not eaten anything for half a day and were already hungry, so they immediately came over after smelling the aroma. However, they were still very picky about food, only picking out the shredded meat from the bowls to eat, leaving the large bowls of rice untouched, then went to Xiao Ping's feet, wagging their tails and begging for food.

  "Huh? Why aren't you eating this food?" Xiao Ping pushed the bowl in front of the little dog and said, "It's meat soup mixed with rice, so fragrant!"

  However, Hei Bao and Yuan Bao didn't even give the rice in the bowl a glance, instead turning their heads away. Xiao Ping even saw a disdainful look in Hei Bao's eyes. The dog's human-like reaction amused Xiao Ping, who patted Hei Bao's little head and said, "Want to eat meat? Alright, I'll go make some for you!"

  Because the small building was still under renovation, Xiao Ping moved all the sparse furniture to a room downstairs, including the refrigerator. The refrigerator contained half a sheep and a pig's leg, which he had bought for his own slow enjoyment. However, since the two little dogs only ate meat, Xiao Ping could only contribute his own food.

  Xiao Ping first cooked half a pig's leg, divided it into two portions and gave them to Hei Bao and Yuan Bao. The two little guys were indeed very interested in the pure meat, and without lifting their heads, they ate everything in the bowl clean, still calling "Wang Wang" to Xiao Ping with an unsatisfied tone, as if they hadn't eaten enough.

  Anyway, since the puppy had already eaten, Xiao Ping decided to be kind and cut a large piece of meat for the two small things to eat, but still couldn't satisfy their appetite. In the end, the whole pig leg and half a sheep were all eaten by Hei Bao and Yuanbao, which barely filled their stomachs.

  Looking at the two little dogs lying contentedly by his feet, Xiao Ping subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead. These two guys were too good at eating, fortunately Xiao Ping was making money now, otherwise he wouldn't be able to afford these two big-bellied dogs.

  Actually, Hei Bao and Yuan Bao's ability to eat so much is also due to a reason. Affected by the spiritual energy in the Lian Yao Hu space, the growth rate of the two little dogs far exceeds that of normal little dogs. In addition, their bones and muscles have also been significantly strengthened, so they naturally need more nutritional supplements. When Hei Bao and Yuan Bao grow up and take shape, their food intake will decrease accordingly, and their appetite won't always be that big.

  In the following days, Xiao Ping let Hei Bao and Yuan Bao play in the Lian Yao Hu during the day. At night, he would take them out and satisfy their astonishing appetites with a large amount of food. For this reason, Xiao Ping went to the nearby market every day to buy two pig legs. At night, he became the exclusive chef for the two little dogs, and had to feed them until they were full before he could rest.

  However, such efforts are not in vain. Black Panther and Yuanbao were bought back for just over a dozen days, and there have been great changes.

  The growth rate of the two little dogs was astonishing, and in just half a month, they were not much smaller than ordinary adult native dogs. Moreover, they still had a tendency to grow rapidly. Apart from their advantage in growth rate, the movements of these two little dogs were also extremely agile. Sometimes, when they chased and played with each other in the cauldron, they could even climb up an already very tall oak tree and run back and forth on its thick branches, playing around. Chong Hei and Yuan Bao's performance was such that it would be possible to say they were cats.

  The two small dogs showed extraordinary spirituality, not only could they understand general commands, but also seemed to comprehend some more complex sentences. Xiao Ping just took Hei Bao and Yuan Bao around the farmhouse once, and the two little dogs remembered their home's territory. From then on, they would go out for a stroll from time to time, and if they found strangers entering the farm's range, they would bark loudly to alert, fully taking on the security task.

  That night, Xiao Ping let Hei Bao and Yuan Bao out of the Lian Yao Hu as usual, cooked two pig legs for them to eat their fill. After eating their fill, Hei Bao and Yuan Bao entwined Xiao Ping as usual and played with him for a while before going on patrol outside on their own initiative.

  "Ah, it wasn't a waste to feed these two little things so much meat after all!" Seeing Hei Bao and Yuan Bao being so obedient, Xiao Ping couldn't help but exclaim. However, not long after the two little ones went out, angry barks could be heard from outside, accompanied by the terrified screams of two people.
