Everyone was startled by the sudden situation and couldn’t react in time, except for Li Fugui, who was closest. He stepped forward to block but was knocked to the ground by the large dog.
In the midst of the chaos, Xiaoxiao thought she was done for, but, to her surprise, the large dog didn’t pounce on her. Instead, after knocking down Li Fugui, it got up, ran to Xiaoxiao’s side, circled around her, wagged its tail, and was extremely well-behaved—an undeniable contrast to its previous ferocious demeanor.
Everyone was truly shocked by this scene; the two dogs were clearly trying to curry favor with Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao was utterly confused; she was admittedly scared of dogs, wasn’t she? Yet, these dogs were trying to please her. What was so different about her body? If there was anything unique, it was only her soul from the 21st century.
Could her identity have been discovered by these dogs?
Are animals so perceptive? But then she thought, snorting, that even if they had discovered it, it was useless—they couldn’t speak, and she was still very safe.
Xiaoxiao stood up and dusted herself off, wanting to test the dogs to see if they would listen to her commands. She waved at them, "You two, come here."
"..." Everyone else was speechless. Just moments ago, she was terrified and screaming, and now she was ordering the dogs around.
But, to their surprise, the dogs appeared to understand and indeed moved closer to Xiaoxiao.
"Eldest brother, Yang Chun, these are dogs we just met; how could they..." Yang Chun hadn’t finished his sentence when both dogs obediently sat down.
The two dogs obediently got up again.
Everyone’s eyes were wide open, jaws dropped at the scene—it was unheard of and unseen, bizarre. Dogs they had just met were listening so attentively to Xiaoxiao alone, and these were not just any dogs but two large, fierce ones, not newborn puppies.
Xiaoxiao couldn’t feel too awesome; was this her unique ability, a transmigration perk? She was practically bubbling with joy. Did this mean she didn’t have to fear dogs anymore?
It must be said, she thought too soon. The dogs merely took a liking to her. Later, she would still be terrified by other dogs—all the screaming and chaos, unable to escape her fate of fear.
She threw herself towards the two dogs, hugging them, patting their heads, and tugging their ears, treating them like toys, completely forgetting her fear.
"Third younger sister, be careful. What if they attack you again?" Big brother Yang Chun still worriedly reminded her.
"Hahaha, no worries, no worries; see, aren’t we playing nicely?"
Xiaoxiao felt she was about to redeem her past humiliations. Was this akin to having strong supporters by her side? From now on, with her left and right hands by her side, who would dare to mess with her, haha.
Li Fugui watched Xiaoxiao’s reaction, his expression changing by the moment, some smiles hiding knives. He felt that Yang Ming’s wife seemed a bit off her rocker. He really needed to stay as far away from her as possible in the future.
"I’ve decided. From now on, you’re called Dahuang, and you’re called Xiaobai," she declared to the dogs.
"Third sister-in-law, that one’s a black dog."
"Then you say its name is Xiaobai."
"..." They felt that Xiaoxiao had been weird since meeting the dogs, nearly impossible to communicate with.
"I’m going to take Dahuang and Xiaobai for a walk. I’ll be back soon."
