Bai Xiaofei had no idea how long he had been unconscious . When he fainted, the sky was dark . But when he woke up, the sky was still dark . The only change was his location, with Hu Xian’er and the others still around him . For him, them being around was enough . Everything would be fine so long as they were safe .
“You’re awake? Come, try Xiaoluo’s food . ”
The moment Bai Xiaofei woke up, the smell of food rushed into his nostrils . He felt incomparably blissful with good food and a beauty waiting for him .
“Um . It’s delicious! But who’s Xiaoluo?” Bai Xiaofei took the roasted meat Hu Xian’er passed to him and started chomping on it . The delicious food instantly conquered the foodie within him .
“It’s me! I’m Xiaoluo!” said one of the Earth Infants after popping out of the ground . She stared at Bai Xiaofei with her round eyes .
“If you’re Xiaoluo, is the other person Xiaobo?” [1] Bai Xiaofei turned his head and asked when he recalled that the Earth Infants looked like radishes .
“Yes! How did you know my name is Xiaobu? But your pronunciation is not accurate . Why is a human worse at speaking than me?” teased the other Earth Infant, who also popped out of the ground .

“Hehe, boss! You’re awake!” Xing asked, slithering over to Bai Xiaofei . But Bai Xiaofei immediately stopped him as he still remembered clearly the powerful smell of Xing’s mouth .
“You’re too big . I’ll be scared if you get too close to me . Just maintain a safe distance . ” Bai Xiaofei gave a random excuse and swallowed . If he allowed Xing to approach him, he could forget about eating this supper, or to be precise, dinner as Bai Xiaofei had not eaten his dinner yet .
“Take this . It should be helpful for the silly dog,” said Hu Xian’er as she passed the magic core she had dug out of the golden wolf to Bai Xiaofei . But before Bai Xiaofei could accept the core, Huskie, who was busy eating, quickly ran over and madly wagged his tail . He stared at Hu Xian’er . One would think Hu Xian’er was his actual master .
“Shit! Where is your self-respect? Are you going to sell your master for some magic core?” Bai Xiaofei teased, but Huskie actually turned to look at him and began reflecting…
He was considering it . . .
Holy shit! You are actually considering it? Shall I turn you into dog hotpot?
“Woof! Woof!” Just as Bai Xiaofei was about to start skinning Huskie, Huskie finished his contemplation and barked . Bai Xiaofei sat back down when he heard Huskie’s reply .
“Good, turns out you are loyal af—“

Before Bai Xiaofei could finish his words, Huskie interrupted him .
“Woof! Woof!”
Huskie’s reply caused him to immediately jump from his seat .
“Damn you! Everyone, I will be treating all of you to dog hotpot today!” Bai Xiaofei declared, but the people, or to be precise, the beasts around him all roared with laughter . They could understand what Huskie said: How can a Monarch Rank magic core bribe me? I will consider it if it’s a Saint Rank magic core…
“Why are you so agitated? The silly dog is still young . You should be grateful he is capable of independent thought . An intelligence this high is not something all magical beasts have . ” As usual, Hu Xian’er took on the role of Huskie’s guardian . Huskie grew cocky and even raised his head provocatively at Bai Xiaofei .
Hear that? I am an extraordinary dog!
“You don’t know his origin either?” Bai Xiaofei blanked out when he heard that . This was the first time they actually talked about Huskie, resulting in him finally asking a question he should have asked long ago .
“We live in a big world with many magical beasts in existence . How can I know all of them? The only thing I know is that this silly dog is not an ordinary dog . ” Hu Xian’er paused and patted Huskie’s head lovingly . “Am I right?”

“Woof! Woof!” Huskie barked smugly before rubbing his shaggy head at Hu Xian’er’s hand, which was holding the golden wolf’s magic core . Huskie seemed incomparably skilled in acting like a spoiled child . He was behaving like a kid trying to ask for a red packet from an elder .
“You can only start slowly absorbing it when you grow stronger in the future . Otherwise…” Hu Xian’er passed the magic core to Huskie and wasn’t able to finish her advice before Huskie directly swallowed the entire magic core . That stunned everyone except Bai Xiaofei .
Swa—swallowed? Even if it’s not a Saint Rank magic core, you can’t swallow it directly, okay? Even for mere King Rank magic cores, you still need to reach resonance to absorb it! You’re not even a blue-grade puppet! You are equivalent to a Brilliant Rank magical beast! How can you eat a Monarch Rank magic core just like that?
The shock on Hu Xian’er’s face was immediately replaced by anxiousness . If a puppet master’s animate puppet died, its puppet master would suffer an irreversible loss . It was understandable why Hu Xian’er was so worried .
“Spit it out!” Hu Xian’er lifted Huskie and madly shook him . However, Huskie’s only reaction was to burp…and it was that very burp that stopped Hu Xian’er from continuing to shake him .
It’s over…, was Hu Xian’er’s sole thought right now . Xing, Hong, Xiaoluo, and Xiaobu shared the same thought . Defying their expectations, Huskie ran back to the bonfire and continued chewing on the leftover wolf bone . It was as if nothing had happened at all . To the side, Blackie was slowly and gracefully eating her food . When she saw how Huskie was behaving, she moved farther to the side . Everyone started gulping when they saw Huskie’s behavior .
“Why? Is there a problem?” Bai Xiaofei asked blankly, completely oblivious as to why they were behaving that way . Hu Xian’er immediately turned to stare at him .
Is there a problem? There is a large problem!
“I thought there was a problem, but now, it seems there is no problem . But it is quite surprising . ” For the first time in her life, a stupefied expression covered Hu Xian’er’s face . One could say that Huskie had allowed Bai Xiaofei to see a different side of this beautiful face .
“There was a problem?” Bai Xiaofei questioned . When Hu Xian’er voiced her doubts, Bai Xiaofei’s reaction was beyond their expectations . He was calm, oddly calm .
Hu Xian’er swallowed and asked the question everyone wanted to ask, “Are you not shocked?”
“I am already used to it . Back home, Huskie had shocked my godfathers and godmothers many times . Huskie is too unique; it’s unexplainable . Just consider it as the luck of a silly dog,” Bai Xiaofei said without care, but a trace of pride surfaced on his face . No matter what, Huskie was still his puppet . It was normal for him to feel proud when his puppet was extraordinary . It was a completely normal reaction, especially from someone like Bai Xiaofei .
