Chapter 89

The two usually obedient Scottish Shepherd dogs were actually barking and preventing Ivanotina from approaching.

What happened?

Ivanotina was completely baffled.

To make matters worse, the guest who was invited to assist in the performance was lying motionless on the sponge mat. The two shepherds not only prevented Ivanotina from getting closer but also seemed to have taken on the role of the guest's bodyguards.

The scene was as ridiculous as it could be.

No one but Xiao Hai could have caused such a "good deed."

As soon as Xiao Hai fell to the ground, he immediately transmitted his consciousness. His consciousness was very simple:

"Do exactly what I tell you to do, or I'll skin you, extract your tendons, and make you into braised dog meat!"

He wasn't sure if foreign dogs could understand him, but to his surprise, as soon as he transmitted his consciousness, the two shepherds were immediately terrified. The power of the transmitted consciousness from the Dragon Spirit Pearl was so strong that the two dogs didn't dare to move. Although their owner was Ivanotina, and they would be punished for not following orders, the taste of being made into dog meat stew was probably not pleasant.

When faced with two evils, the lesser one was to obediently stay still and listen to "King Ai"...

Their inaction caused Ivanotina a lot of trouble. The current scene was as ridiculous as it could be. The Russian animal trainer first tried to lure them, then shouted loudly, but no matter what, the shepherds refused to budge. As soon as Ivanotina approached, they would bark loudly and even show signs of aggression.

The audience was first shocked, then burst into laughter, and finally began to boo.

Ivanotina was really unlucky. Who did she have to provoke, but the King of All Beasts, Xiao Hai? His personality was such that once you provoked him, he would seek revenge without delay. Normally, he wouldn't make a beautiful woman so embarrassed, but the Russian beauty could only blame her father, Petrov, for his previous words...

Ivanotina was really anxious. She had been performing since she was six years old, and this was the first time in sixteen years that she encountered such an awkward situation.

The circus staff had to step in at this point. But the two damned Scottish Shepherds actually charged at them, almost biting one of them, which scared the staff badly.

This caused another round of mocking laughter from the audience...

Seeing that the fun was almost over, Xiao Hai sat up and shouted, "Da Huang, Xiao Huang!"

These... Ivanotina had named the two Scottish Shepherds Igor and Tessa, but in Xiao Hai's mouth, they became such rustic names. But what could be done? When in Rome, do as the Romans do, right?

Strangely, the shepherds immediately stopped and obediently walked to Xiao Hai, making "ao ao" sounds to please him.

All the audience immediately noticed this rare scene...

The guest had turned into a dog trainer!

"Untie!"

Following Xiao Hai's command, the shepherds actually untied the ropes on Xiao Hai's feet.

"Good—good!"

A chorus of applause erupted from the audience.

Ivanotina was stunned. What was going on? The dogs she had raised from a young age were not listening to her but to a random audience member?

The show was just getting started!

Xiao Hai stood up, smiling, and took the microphone from the stunned host: "Da Huang, Xiao Huang, go, bring me the potato chips the two beauties are eating."

He pointed in the direction of Deng Mengmeng and Xu Yunqi.

The shepherds obediently went to the audience, barking softly, as if pleading.

Xiao Hai's dog training skills were well-known to Deng Mengmeng and Xu Yunqi, but who would have thought they would be so amazing that they could even train the dogs of the Russian Grand Circus?

Deng Mengmeng handed the potato chips to Da Huang, but the two dogs didn't leave. They stared intently at the cola in Xu Yunqi's hand. Xu Yunqi hesitantly placed the cola in Xiao Huang's mouth, and Xiao Huang immediately wagged his tail.

Then, the two shepherds ran back to Xiao Hai, handing over the potato chips and cola.

Xiao Hai took a sip of cola and a bite of potato chips, with a mischievous smile.

The audience watched in amazement, then suddenly realized something, and the applause became wild. Deng Mengmeng and Xu Yunqi clapped their hands hard, their faces flushed with excitement.

They had seen many circus performances, but today's was truly magical. But for Xiao Hai, it was just a minor skill.

After playing enough, Xiao Hai gave the order, and the two shepherds ran back to Ivanotina's side, looking like two children who had done something wrong...

Ivanotina didn't know what to say... Her skills in training cats and dogs were among the top three in Europe, but compared to this young man, she was just a novice.

Xiao Hai was about to leave with a smile when he suddenly heard a voice behind him, "Please wait a moment."

The translator and Petrov walked out: "Sir, may I ask your surname?"

"Surname Gui."

This... He asked for his surname, and he really was surnamed "Gui"? The translator forced a smile: "Director Petrov would like to know which circus you are from?"

Circus? He had nothing to do with any circus... Xiao Hai thought for a moment: "The Happy Circus."

When the translator said this, Petrov suddenly understood. Ah, so this was a challenge. He had just said bad things about the Happy Circus, and now their people had come.

The reputation of the Russian Circus must be salvaged, or it would lose face. Petrov forced a smile: "So you're from the Happy Circus. Is Director Song here?"

Who is Director Song? Xiao Hai didn't know that Song Sanbao, the director of the Happy Circus, was Jiajia's father. He didn't say much: "Director Song is very busy and couldn't come, so he sent me, his unworthy apprentice."

Good, very good, this was a blatant provocation. Wasn't this clearly telling them that the director of the Happy Circus didn't need to show up, and a mere apprentice could handle the world-renowned Russian Grand Circus?

Looking at the young man's age, he was probably not much older than a teenager. He might have a unique way of training dogs, but he might not have any real skills in other areas. Petrov suppressed his displeasure: "Mr. Gui, the Russian Grand Circus has never allowed outsiders to perform without permission. This is an insult to us."

"Oh, I see. So what?"

"Since that's the case, I wonder if Mr. Gui can perform the next act." Petrov sneered and brought out the circus's main act, its ace: his son Gavrila, who had made Europe go wild with his act:

Training wild beasts!

The challenge was issued. When the translator announced Petrov's decision, the entire audience fell silent, all eager to see if this young man would dare to accept the challenge. More importantly, they would witness a rare and intense battle in the history of circus performances!

Xiao Hai, who had already played a trick on Ivanotina, couldn't let Petrov's challenge go unmet in front of so many people. He lazily said, "Sure, let's see."

The audacious young man, Petrov sneered...

To the sound of an intense and stirring music, a tiger and a lion appeared, causing a wave of exclamations from the audience.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the world's greatest animal trainer, the three-time circus gold medalist—Gavrila Vladimirovich Kontrevich!"

In a long, resonant voice, the 26-year-old European golden boy Gavrila appeared in the arena.

This was the ace of the Russian Grand Circus. He had already learned about the "humiliation" his sister Ivanotina had suffered and decided to give the person who dared to challenge the Russian Grand Circus a harsh lesson in his own way!

He decided to skip the usual act of making the tiger jump through a ring of fire. He needed to start with a performance that would shock the entire audience and show the challenger what greatness was!

A few live chickens and a bucket were brought out. The audience didn't know what he was going to do. Then, in full view of everyone, Gavrila killed the chickens and collected about half a bucket of chicken blood. He then poured the blood all over his body.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please remain quiet. Mr. Gavrila is about to perform a highly dangerous act. He will put his head in the tiger's mouth for one minute!"

"Wow—" exclamations of shock echoed throughout the audience.

Others had performed similar acts before, but only by putting their heads in the tiger's mouth. It's important to note that although the tiger was trained, it was still a wild animal, and the wild nature of tigers, especially their instinct, could be awakened at any time by the smell of blood. No one knew what terrifying things might happen.

And Gavrila had drenched himself in chicken blood.

It was too dangerous, too dangerous!

The entire audience was so quiet that a pin dropping could be heard.

Gavrila slowly approached the tiger. Indeed, the tiger, smelling the blood, became restless.

Gavrila gently stroked the tiger, quickly calming it down. At his command, the tiger opened its terrifying, blood-stained mouth. Gavrila took a deep breath and slowly placed his head in the tiger's mouth.

The timid audience members couldn't bear to watch.

The tiger had already smelled the blood, and now a head full of blood was in its mouth. If the tiger lost control, tragedy would ensue.

Perhaps Gavrila had succeeded in this act ten times before, but such a risky act could end in death with even the slightest problem. This was why Petrov, Ivanotina, and all the members of the Russian Grand Circus were extremely tense.

Xiao Hai nodded. This Russian, Gavrila, had some skills.
