Chapter 512: Greetings from the Mysterious Code (Third Update, Seeking Monthly Votes and Recommendations) _1
The Big Black Dog jumped over the wall and attracted the attention of the Jiang family’s guard, but in the end, Pei Jinye waved it away.
Having not seen it for some days, the Big Black Dog had grown significantly more robust.
It circled around Pei Jinye in a frenzy.
“Hiss hiss.”
The sound of hissing came through.
A pair of distinct black and white dog eyes immediately glanced sideways.
The dog’s head slowly lifted… and saw a giant snake head that stood over two meters tall.
A sharp, miserable howl.
The Big Black Dog tumbled and scrambled to escape.
Pei Jinye called for a long time, but the creature refused to come over, whimpering with its tail tucked between its legs, spouting nonsense about “There’s always a treacherous snake out to get me”…
Pei Jinye had no idea where this silly dog got all this nonsense from.
After waving the giant python away,
The Big Black Dog dared to show itself.
“I told you not to come, but you insisted. Then you got scared to death when you did come; that’s all the courage you have.”
The Big Black Dog was scolded and looked grievously wronged.
It whined and mumbled something.
Pei Jinye stretched out his hand, tapped the dog’s head, and said something.
After asking about recent events,
The Big Black Dog gradually started bragging again, claiming that it had beaten all competitors across Eighteen Streets and that countless doggy brothers wanted to acknowledge it as the big boss. Unfortunately, it encountered a simpleton who monopolized the commercial street and refused to give it up.
Pei Jinye cursed it as a hopeless case.
“I teach you the great Tao for you to go and fight over territory with a bunch of stray dogs? And you still have the nerve to call someone else a simpleton? Where’s my stick, I’ll beat the crap out of you, you prodigal son!”
Pei Jinye was so angry he was ready to take out his stick and thrash the dog.
The Big Black Dog, terrified, dodged through the forests and woods, stubborn and unrepentant.
[That street is so rich with resources, you don’t understand!]
“I don’t understand? You’re only fit for eating out of garbage cans!” Pei Jinye snapped off a branch and quickly pinned down the dog’s head, giving it a fierce whipping.
…
On the other side of the forest,
The giant python slightly bowed its head and hid in the bushes.
Bursts of miserable cries echoed.
It took another stealthy glance.
It seemed to see him truly angry for the first time.
There was just a bit of regret that the annoying big bird wasn’t there.
…
…
As dawn arrived,
The Big Black Dog quietly opened its eyelids, peaking around, but just as it opened its eyes, its head was struck by a stick, causing it to writhe in pain, scratching at its head with both paws and baring its teeth in pain.
“Don’t move, focus on your cultivation!”
Pei Jinye’s voice came leisurely, his eyes closed.
The Big Black Dog, fearing another hit, quickly sat down cross-legged again, closing its eyes to commence its breathing exercises.
It wasn’t long before
The first rays of sunlight fell.
As if drawn by something, they landed on Pei Jinye.
The “Sun Lotus Absorption Technique” absorbed the essence of the sun through the breathing process, turning it into the purest form of energy for replenishment.
Pei Jinye’s expenditure last night was actually not small.
Restoring through food was effective, but since he could also replenish himself through cultivation, there was no reason to waste the opportunity.
The brilliance gathered above Pei Jinye’s head.
The Big Black Dog was completely stupefied.
Reflected in its clear black and white eyes was not the figure of Pei Jinye but a God… radiating sacred and dazzling light all around.
…
It was uncertain how much time had passed.
Pei Jinye felt that he had reached the limit of absorbing the solar essence and slowly ended his exercise.
“Woo woo woo…”
Surprisingly, a weak whimpering sound came from in front of him.
When he opened his eyes, he saw
The Big Black Dog kneeling before him, devotedly kowtowing.
“Holy Immortal Master, bless me with many children and good fortune in this life… I’m bowing to you.”
“…”
“Holy Immortal Master, protect me from disease and disaster in this life… Please, I’m giving you another bow.”
“…”
“Holy Immortal Master…”
“Look,” Pei Jinye spoke up.
The Big Black Dog instinctively responded, “Immortal Master, you speak.”
When it raised its head, it saw Pei Jinye.
The dog’s drooping ears perked up immediately.
It looked over, alarmed.
Pei Jinye, with a darkened face, looked around and asked, “Where’s my stick?”
Miserable howls echoed throughout the room once again.
Pei Jinye tossed aside the stick, irritatedly saying, “Get on with your cultivation! Don’t waste your talent!”
The Big Black Dog dejectedly resumed its seated position.
It suddenly regretted why it had rashly come here.
The world outside might be a bit messy, but those days surrounded by affection were truly beautiful.
“That’s all you aspire to. Once you get on the right path with your cultivation, you’ll have your pick from all the spiritual creatures of heaven and earth, any of which would be much better than what you have now!”
The Big Black Dog paused for a moment.
It cautiously lifted its head and said, “Woof woof (Is everything you said true, great master?)”
Pei Jinye glanced sideways at it, annoyed.
He grabbed the dog’s head.
To the dog’s horror, they teleported in the blink of an eye.
Inside Sun and Moon Mountain,
The morning sunlight descended.
Dozens of ferocious beasts simultaneously turned their heads to look over.
Each being was more imposing than the Giant Python from Jiang’s Family Back Mountain. The Big Black Dog felt its legs go weak with fear.
It was not until it saw how these fierce creatures greeted the master that it breathed a sigh of relief.
A few black panthers stared at the Big Black Dog, which wagged its tail ingratiatingly as it approached, finding favor with these big brothers and gorgeous sisters, perhaps using all its lifetime skills to build good relationships.
The Big Black Dog wagged its tail and rolled on the ground.
Coming close to the black panthers, which were more than twice its size, it sniffed cautiously.
But the other party only coldly responded, [Roll.]
[Alright, sure thing!]
After circling around, it returned to Pei Jinye’s side, without showing any signs of disappointment. In fact, it seemed to bear an air of being the boss already.
This blatantly shameless attitude made Pei Jinye’s lips twitch slightly.
“I brought you here to let you know… besides you, there are many other creatures in this world that have awakened their intellect, so don’t be self-satisfied,” he said.
It seemed to him,
This guy really has no shame.
But being shameless has its own advantages.
After introducing this fellow to the group of ferocious beasts, the attention on the Big Black Dog increased a bit.
For the ferocious beasts living in Sun and Moon Mountain, there weren’t many beings worthy of their notice.
But for their master, Pei Jinye, they held the utmost respect.
The Big Black Dog wagged its tail frantically.
Seeing this display, Pei Jinye said, “Do you plan to come with me, or stay here?”
The Big Black Dog’s eyes darted around, thinking about the rigorous training with Pei Jinye and firmly decided, “Woof (I’ll stay)!”
Pei Jinye just smiled silently.
Is it really good to stay?
These big guys are even fiercer than him.
Smile.
He left without hesitation.
“Take care, Master.”
The Big Black Dog wagged its tail, seeing him off.
After Pei Jinye left, it immediately took a position on a high slope, “As the new kid on the block, it’s rare…”
“Shut up.” A giant tiger with a terrifying build coldly roared.
“Oh, okay, Tiger Bro.”
The Big Black Dog promptly jumped off the slope and didn’t look back.
The giant elephants, however, looked after the newcomer with some care.
A bunch of bananas was offered up.
The Big Black Dog stared for a long moment, hesitant.
“I don’t eat crap.”
It declined politely.
Luckily, the elephants didn’t understand and even sent more.
…
…
Jiang’s Family Back Mountain.
After sending off the chatterbox, Pei Jinye did not continue his training.
The Giant Python had also disappeared without a trace.
Usually, it would find a place to bask in the morning sun.
Pei Jinye didn’t think much of it and went to the dining room.
While waiting for breakfast, Zhong Xuan had already prepared the newspaper early, and Pei Jinye skimmed through the information nonchalantly.
“The Military Department wants to reorganize?” Pei Jinye noticed a piece of information and looked up.
Zhong Xuan hurriedly said, “It’s said that Mr. Han, representing Councilor Cui, has made a trip to the Eastern Continent two days ago. The reorganization of the Military Department was their idea, but it’s not viewed favorably by all parties as it involves too many domains.”
Pei Jinye pondered for a moment.
Not many from the Cui Family held positions in the Military Department. What deep meaning could Councilor Cui’s motion have?
He thought about the information he had received before.
This Councilor Cui was secretly involved in numerous foundations and research institutes.
But the investigation results were limited to that.
Pei Jinye couldn’t acquire any deeper investigative results.
“Let them make a fuss.”
Currently, Pei Jinye was only focused on enhancing his power, and he didn’t care much about the Cui Family’s affairs.
He is not a magnanimous person.
Therefore, he wouldn’t forget his grudge when they used him as bait in the beginning.
The newspaper was set aside.
Pei Jinye subtly glanced at his attribute panel.
The Three Attribute Values had recovered overnight and had now increased to more than three hundred points.
There was still a long way to go to reach the peak.
Pei Jinye sighed softly.
Indeed, inter-regional combat was more consuming.
If his Attribute Points for all three categories had already reached several thousands, then such consumption would have been insignificant.
So, in the end…
“It’s because I’m too weak,” he said.
Zhong Xuan noticed that Pei Jinye’s expression had become inscrutably solemn and felt a twinge in his heart, worrying that he had not performed well enough.
He hurriedly said, “Master, regarding the recent strategic changes in the business, along with the channel merchants joining from Nan Du City, the profit of the business has now increased by 120%, and it’s expected to reach 7 billion in earnings for the first half of the year.”
Pei Jinye diverted his gaze, looking over slowly, “What about the resources I need?”
Zhong Xuan bowed his head and quickly said, “General Lin is already preparing things on his end, so the paperwork is completely in accordance with regulations. Every Sunday will be the deadline, and materials will be secretly sent over by assigned personnel.”
Pei Jinye nodded slightly.
Soon after.
The maids appeared with medicinal meals and some breakfast pastries.
Pei Jinye waved his hand.
Everyone including Zhong Xuan withdrew.
Half an hour later.
The current head of the Jiang family was waiting outside the door and was allowed to enter after getting permission.
In his face was the utmost respect:
“Father.”
Pei Jinye slowly looked up.
With no interest in conversation, he extended his hand and hypnotized.
In less than ten minutes, the current head of the Jiang family left Jiang’s Family Back Mountain.
Zhong Xuan accompanied the middle-aged man away and watched the limousine leave.
Gradually, he turned and left.
The master had gone back into seclusion, refusing visitors.
…
…
The Pei’s Elderly Couple rarely visited the store these days, and Father Pei would occasionally check the accounts, but otherwise, he spent his time at home.
As time passed.
The signs of Mother Pei’s pregnancy became more and more apparent.
…
Secretly, Pei Jinye was paying close attention to the elderly couple. @@novelbin@@
He had arranged for Mother Pei to be admitted to the hospital invested in by the Jiang family, enjoying VIP treatment.
In the hallway.
Disguised as a hospital doctor, Pei Jinye followed the team and appeared in Mother Pei’s ward.
He hadn’t informed them about the Red Lotus issue.
That matter… even telling the elderly couple wouldn’t be of any use, so why disturb them now?
Before leaving the hospital building.
Pei Jinye suddenly raised an eyebrow.
An anonymous code appeared on his disguised server.
Translated, it read—
[Who, are, you?]
What do you think?
