Chapter 9

The conversation at the neighboring table immediately caught Xiao Hai's attention.

Lin Guai? There's no such thing as a Lin Guai in this world. It must be some large beast from the primeval forest. And what Xiao Hai needs most right now is the essence of an animal.

The essence of two steppe wolves has already greatly advanced the Dragon Spirit Pearl. If he can obtain the essence of a large beast, he might be able to break through the first level.

Huyan Naxi is one of the few primeval forests that have never been destroyed. Rare animals often appear in the forest, some of which are even thought to be extinct.

These animals are ancient, and their essence far surpasses that of steppe wolves. Once obtained, it would be a gift from heaven for Xiao Hai.

Moreover, Huyan Naxi is only a day's journey from Halke City by car. Thinking about this, Xiao Hai lost all interest in having morning tea.

He quickly settled the bill, asked for a takeaway box, and packed up the uneaten pastries to take back for Xiao Qi.

Seeing Xiao Hai's actions, Deng Chenglong snorted coldly, "A poor man is still a poor man, unwilling to throw away even a little bit of food."

"You can't compare me to a wasteful person like you," Xiao Hai retorted, ignoring Deng Chenglong's anger, and waved to Deng Mengmeng, "Beautiful girl, see you at the start of the semester."

Without waiting for Deng Mengmeng to say goodbye, he ran out in a flash.

"Damn, if he dares to go back, I'll give him a good beating!" Deng Chenglong said viciously, looking at Xiao Hai's back.

Since he was old enough to understand, everyone around him had always been fawning and flattering him. Who would have thought that in Halke City, he would suffer such a loss at the hands of a poor boy? How could he swallow this humiliation?

"Forget it, brother," Deng Mengmeng said softly, "He's not a bad person, he just doesn't let up with his words."

"You don't understand. The more such a person, the more he needs to be beaten into submission." Deng Chenglong was determined not to let Xiao Hai off: "Once he enters Xinan University, I'll find someone to break one of his legs! Yes, I'm being stupid, isn't Brother Yuan here? I'll call Brother Yuan right now."

Deng Mengmeng was shocked. Was it really necessary to be so vicious? But her brother had always been pampered by their father at home, and once he made up his mind, there was no way she could persuade him...

...

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, get ready, we're heading to Huyan Naxi, the primeval forest!" As soon as he rushed into his room, Xiao Hai called out excitedly.

Xiao Qi lay lazily on the ground, sending a wistful thought to Xiao Hai's mind: "Boss, you're having fun out there, but I'm almost starving to death here."

"Stop whining, eat quickly and let's go." Xiao Hai placed the packed food in front of Xiao Qi: "Custard buns, green bean cakes, all kinds of delicious things."

Xiao Qi became even more wistful, staring at the pastries like a woman abandoned by her husband: "I may be a smart and clever dog, but fundamentally, I'm still a dog. Have you ever seen a dog eat green bean cakes?"

This is indeed a man's greatest fear, to enter the wrong profession, and a dog's greatest fear, to follow the wrong person...

Xiao Hai didn't care what Xiao Qi was thinking. His luggage was simple, and he could pack up and leave quickly. Ignoring Xiao Qi's comments on the pastries, he patted his travel backpack: "Get in."

The tragedy of a dog is that most public transport vehicles do not allow pets, even though Xiao Qi has been enlightened eight times, he is still a pet.

Ah, no, a stray dog...

...

At the station, he bought a ticket to Huyan Naxi and also bought a few sausages. At a corner, he quickly let Xiao Qi out to breathe.

Sausages were clearly more appealing to Xiao Qi than green bean cakes. After eating all the sausages and drinking some water, Xiao Qi felt like the happiest dog in the world.

Seeing that the train was still over an hour away, he was thinking about how to pass the time when two young men in black T-shirts walked over.

Both had tattoos on their arms, and they were quite elaborate. The left arm had a lucky koi, symbolizing good fortune. The right arm had a leaping carp, symbolizing endless blessings.

These tattoos clearly had the guidance of a master. Many people like to tattoo a colorful dragon on their arm, thinking it looks fierce and impressive, but the dragon on the arm is called a coiling arm dragon, and it can only be a green dragon, not a colorful one. Moreover, the dragon's claws are also significant; a five-clawed dragon is called an emperor dragon, a four-clawed dragon is called a general dragon, and ordinary people can only tattoo a four-clawed dragon.

Seeing that they were not good people, Xiao Hai didn't want to cause trouble and was about to call Xiao Qi to leave, but the trouble found him. The man on the left actually called out:

"Xiao Hai!"

Xiao Hai was taken aback. It was strange to find someone who knew him here, and they looked like they were part of the underworld.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Daxiong, he's Ahhei. Have you heard of us?"

"No," Xiao Hai answered honestly.

Daxiong and Ahhei were indeed names he had never heard of, but the nicknames were quite fitting. One had a very large head, and the other had skin like an Ethiopian.

"Money?" Daxiong didn't bother to say more, just extended his hand.

"What money?" Xiao Hai was confused.

"Damn, you're asking for it?" Ahhei cursed, "Take out the money in your bag."

Xiao Hai laughed. So these were robbers? In broad daylight, in a peaceful world... What was the phrase again? Xiao Hai sized up the two. He was 1.8 meters tall, and they were about the same height. Although it was two against one, he had absorbed the essence of steppe wolves and the spirit of a jade scorpion, making his strength, agility, and reaction far exceed those of a normal person. He wasn't afraid of Xiao Cao and Xiao Yuan, so why would he be afraid of two robbers?

"Money, I have, 20,000." Xiao Hai patted his travel backpack: "But I won't give it to you!"

Strangely, Daxiong and Ahhei seemed to have expected this answer. Ahhei's face darkened, and he suddenly threw a punch at Xiao Hai.

The punch was fast and sudden, and most people wouldn't be able to dodge it, but he was facing Xiao Hai! The Xiao Hai who dared to fight wolves!

Xiao Hai also threw a punch. If Ahhei's punch was fast, then Xiao Hai's punch could only be described as lightning.

His punch arrived first, just as Ahhei's fist was about to hit him, Xiao Hai's punch landed accurately on Ahhei's face.

Ahhei screamed in pain, covering his face and retreating several steps. When he let go, his face was covered in blood.

Xiao Hai only used three-tenths of his strength; otherwise, Ahhei's entire face would have been ruined.

"Damn, this little bastard has trained!" Daxiong's face changed, and he pulled out a knife from his pocket, just as he was about to act, he also screamed, even more pitifully than Ahhei.

A dog! Damn, a dog bit his wrist.

Xiao Hai smiled at Xiao Qi. The poor Daxiong was bitten by a small dog and couldn't shake him off. He couldn't, not even a Tosa Inu could shake off Xiao Qi, so how could he?

"Alright, Xiao Qi, let go."

This command saved Ahhei. Xiao Qi let go and fell to the ground, but his eyes still vigilantly watched the two men.

Poor Daxiong, his wrist was bitten open, and blood dripped down. They were ordered to teach Xiao Hai a lesson, but who would have thought that in just a moment, Ahhei's face was broken, and Daxiong's hand was bitten.

"This is a rabid dog, with rabies." Xiao Hai pointed at Xiao Qi: "Go to the hospital quickly and get a rabies vaccine, or you'll know the horror of rabies."

Daxiong was scared stiff. Damn, if it wasn't a rabid dog, how could it be so fierce? He and Ahhei screamed and ran away.

Seeing their miserable state, Xiao Hai couldn't help but laugh. Once they got to the hospital, the doctors would definitely call the police when they heard about the rabid dog. This would be quite a show.

"Damn you, you're the rabid dog!"

Seeing Xiao Hai's appearance, Xiao Qi was almost bursting with anger. He was such a smart dog, first fed with the terrible green bean cakes, and then accused of being a rabid dog.

Could he sue Xiao Hai for defamation in court? Would any court accept a lawsuit from a dog?
