Each race has its own epic stories.
Though they are all boastful, they each also have mutual acknowledgments.
For example, the tale of the Human Emperor patrolling the sea.
In the epics of the Barbarian Race, the Barbarian King drove the Human Emperor and the Demon Venerable, the two annoying little brothers, out to sea.
In the historical anecdotes of the Demon Race, our Demon Venerable invited the Human Emperor for a swim in the sea.
But in the ancient books of the Human Race, it was written that the Human Emperor ignored the Barbarian King and went to sea just to pursue the Demon Venerable.
Although the three accounts are each held firmly, one thing can be confirmed.
That is, the Human Emperor indeed went to sea in the end.
At the time of going to sea, there was a group of followers beside the Human Emperor, which included not only his companions but also a group of loyal hunting dogs.
Their name was Sea Patrol.
[They were dog-like in appearance, good at leaping forward, with red eyes, golden tails, smiling at humans, entering the water to patrol, and seeing all directions.]
Many stories about the Sea Patrol Dogs are recorded in the "Records of the Human Emperor’s Overseas Adventures".
Summarized in four words.
In the stories, the fate of these Sea Patrol Dogs varied, some were lost, some shielded the Human Emperor from disasters, some went to catch fish in the sea, some bit at the enemy’s heels...
Anyway, they were indescribably loyal!
Hei Qu loves this story and comes to the Library Pavilion every now and then to savor it again, to extract its spirit, and use it as a personal exemplar.
At this moment, Hei Qu is squatting on the ground reading the "Human Emperor’s Legacy".
Li Yueqi recalled the appearance of Maomao, she couldn’t remember if it was good at leaping, but it did smile at people, which was true.
If Maomao is really a descendant of the Sea Patrol Dogs, then Hei Qu would have met its idol, but...
Her own Hei Qu’s idol filter seems to be quite heavy.
Li Yueqi had seen her Hei Qu’s reading notes, and for some details of this story, Hei Qu had its own interpretation and annotation.
For example, the phrase like dogs in appearance, according to Hei Qu’s unilateral historical verification, should be like wolves in appearance.
The phrase smiles at people, in Hei Qu’s understanding, that smile carries a very complex meaning.
It’s not an ordinary smile.
But rather a smile with three parts pride, three parts indifference, three parts wisdom, and one part carelessness.
Hei Qu is currently practicing this expression and has already trained to a bit of a cross-eyed look.
Li Yueqi stepped forward and gave Hei Qu a pat, bringing her Lang’s eyes back to clarity, "Stop staring, come take a walk with me."
After careful consideration, Li Yueqi decided not to tell Hei Qu that Maomao is its idol, she feared that Hei Qu’s idol filter might shatter, unable to accept reality.
Although Maomao being a Sea Patrol Dog was Zhang Ze’s one-sided statement, Li Yueqi just felt that Zhang Ze wasn’t wrong.
She didn’t know why, it was just a gut feeling.
Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.
Zhang Ze looked at the intelligence sent back by Li Yueqi, holding in his hand a copy of the Human Emperor’s Legacy collected by the Sword Sect, repeatedly comparing, and then looked up at Maomao squatting in front of him.
The tail was indeed golden, but the eyes were normal brown, not the demon-like red.
Maomao tilted its head, then half-heartedly jumped...
Like a lump of iron, it didn’t seem adept at jumping.
But Zhang Ze didn’t give up, he took out a sausage to coax Maomao, "Come, Maomao, yum yum yum."
Leading Maomao, Zhang Ze brought him to a new building next to them.
The junior sister’s big villa.
Chen Qin had expanded the big room given by the second sister into a large courtyard, complete with facilities, and even specially left a specially designed experiment field for Lily.
That room was separately isolated with the Cave Heaven Technique, attached with various secret techniques, soundproofed and noise-canceling, with high safety.
A large pool was left beside the rockery in the courtyard for Li, Rongrong, and others to play with water.
Or to play with lava.
As a Sea Patrol Dog, Maomao should be a good swimmer, right?
Yet, it wasn’t quite the case.
Zhang Ze lured Maomao to the middle of the pool with a sausage, then found the mechanism set by Lily before activating the array to let water into the pool.
And mind you, Lily has a knack for making these seemingly useless things.
This array not only can adjust the water temperature but also the salinity and concentration of Spiritual Qi, it’d be a waste not to use it for aquarium purposes.
As the water level slowly rose, initially, Maomao didn’t pay any mind.
When the water level reached its ankles, Maomao was still quietly chewing on the sausage.
When the water level reached its belly, Maomao frowned, feeling something was amiss, and started chewing on the sausage much faster.
When the water level went over its back, Maomao was already tilting its head and flailing around...
It seemed like it couldn’t swim?
However, just as Zhang Ze was about to reach out to save the dog, Maomao finally swallowed the sausage, then let out a howl, changing the pitch.
Then the whole dog soared high from the pool, leaping into the air.
I have to say, it really jumped quite high.
With this ruckus, both Lily and Chen Qin came out from the room, and as they were about to ask, Maomao had already landed. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel-fire.net
Mao Mao, with its fur bristled, landed steadily, then jumped into Lily’s arms again.
By this time, Maomao had turned into another form, its smooth fur had turned white except for the tail, reflecting rainbow light under the sun.
Its eyes had turned red too.
Stung by the saline water.
Lily, holding Maomao up, coaxed her big dog as though it were a child, "Good boy, don’t cry."
While coaxing, she looked at Zhang Ze angrily, "oi! Boss, why are you bullying my Maomao."
Zhang Ze felt quite wronged, who could have thought that a Sea Patrol Dog couldn’t swim!
