Chapter 1232: Original Vow

When Jiang Wang exited the Taixu Wonderland, the dog was still there.

The Iron漿果 (Iron Syrup Fruits) were of course gone, not even the skin remained. The little gray dog was still licking the floor there.

Jiang Wang put away his Anony-robe and beckoned to it: "Come here!"

The little gray dog's wagging tail suddenly stopped. It turned its head and saw Jiang Wang in the corner. Alert, it turned around, its four limbs on the ground, baring its teeth at Jiang Wang, emitting a threatening low growl.

Jiang Wang looked at it with a smile: "Little fella, you ate my stuff and still dare to glare at me?"

The little gray dog clearly didn't understand what he was saying, but it probably felt that this stranger in front of it was not afraid of its threat.

So it immediately started barking loudly.

Woof woof woof!

Truly a good prospect for guarding a house and yard!

Jiang Wang smiled proudly: "You can bark all you want, no one will come to save you even if you bark until your throat breaks!"

With his ability to control sound, it was too easy to confine the little dog's barking within the阁楼 (pavilion).

The little gray dog barked for a long time, but couldn't call for help. It was clearly a little panicked. It tucked its tail and ran downstairs, scampering away and giving up its territory.

Jiang Wang took out an Iron漿果 (Iron Syrup Fruit) and bit into it.

The fruity aroma instantly permeated the air.

The little gray dog, which had already reached the staircase entrance, suddenly stopped.

It turned its head, sniffed greedily with its nose, and with its short legs, wagged its tail vigorously, running towards Jiang Wang.

It had clearly recognized the fruit that had conquered its body and mind.

Jiang Wang then leaned lazily back there and took another bite.

The little gray dog, running close, was terribly greedy but didn't dare to be presumptuous. It bounced back and forth in front of Jiang Wang, its tail wagging like a windmill, its mouth open, its tongue sticking out, looking foolish.

Jiang Wang quickly finished the Iron漿果 (Iron Syrup Fruit) in a few bites and clapped his hands: "All gone!"

The little gray dog instantly stopped bouncing, and its tail stopped wagging. Its round eyes looked at Jiang Wang, clearly with many questions... and hurt.

"That's for growling at me." Jiang Wang smiled proudly and stood up: "I'm leaving. Your territory is yours again."

The Ruyi Immortal Robe, which was in tatters on his body, was really unsightly, but it needed to absorb the host's power to repair itself, which meant - it couldn't be taken off.

After all, he was the number one Inner Mansion in the world, a renowned prodigy. Walking around in rags was simply unacceptable.

Jiang Wang found a new robe in his storage box and put it on the outside. It felt a little uncomfortable, but until the Ruyi Immortal Robe was repaired, he had no choice.

He walked straight out.

"Woof woof."

It was that little gray dog that had darted to his feet again.

It would run in front for a while, then behind, shaking its head anxiously.

Jiang Wang looked down at it with a smile: "You want to follow me?"

The little gray dog suddenly had an epiphany. It stood up on its hind legs, putting its front paws on Jiang Wang's calves, looking at him eagerly.

Perhaps it was naturally intelligent, or perhaps the Iron漿果 (Iron Syrup Fruit) it had eaten earlier had increased its spiritual awareness.

"Dog, oh dog." Jiang Wang smiled, then sighed: "If you follow me, you'll have no home to guard. I am homeless again."

Of course, it wasn't as serious as being "homeless." With his friends in Linzi watching over things and Chong Xuan Sheng controlling the situation, Qing Yang Town wouldn't have any problems.

But he was indeed currently "kicked out of the house," and it was inevitable to feel some melancholy.

The little gray dog certainly didn't understand what he was saying, and even if it did, it would only be more satisfied. Where else could you find such a good thing as getting food without working?

Its tail wagged very energetically.

Jiang Wang still had some pity for this "fellow wanderer" companion of his, otherwise he wouldn't have given it the Iron漿果 (Iron Syrup Fruit).

So he reached out, picked it up with one hand, and walked leisurely downstairs.

The homeowner was an old man in his sixties, who was at the time sunbathing lazily on a recliner in front of the door.

Jiang Wang walked all the way to him before he half-closed his eyes and looked over.

He saw a man in a green robe, tall and upright, with a relaxed demeanor, like a celestial being. Just this presence alone was something he had never seen in his life.

Jiang Wang held up the dog in his hand and asked with a smile: "Old man, is this your dog? Would you be willing to part with it?"

The old man then noticed the little gray dog in his hand.

The dog, being held up, didn't seem uncomfortable at all. It was grinning and sticking out its tongue, wagging its tail constantly.

"It seems to like you very much." The old man waved his hand: "My big dog just had a litter. This one is the weakest and always gets bullied. Take it with you, just treat it well."

"Thank you very much." Jiang Wang said, taking out a piece of broken silver and placing it on the tea stool next to the recliner: "This is the money for buying the dog."

It wasn't that he couldn't afford more; he would even be willing to spend some Dao Yuan stones.

But sudden wealth was not necessarily a blessing.

"How can this be?" The old man immediately sat up and pushed the silver back: "It's just a local dog, not worth much money."

"Keep it, old man. Bringing peace of mind is also a virtue." Jiang Wang smiled warmly, turned around, and disappeared before his eyes in a single step.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then looked at the silver in his hand. Only then did he confirm that he was not hallucinating. He had indeed met an extraordinary cultivator just now!

But this extraordinary lord was so different from the extraordinary lords he had heard of and knelt before!

When Chong Xuan Sheng was talking to Jiang Wang in the Taixu Wonderland, he was actually in the Dingyuan侯 (Marquis) Mansion.

The situation was certainly not as relaxed as he had told Jiang Wang. This was such a complex game of chess, with every player implementing their will. No matter how intelligent he was, his power was limited, and he could not dominate the situation.

He was just pulling chestnuts out of the fire.

Of course, his uncle, Chong Xuan Chu Liang, was always his support.

"It seems he's alright?" Chong Xuan Chu Liang asked.

This notoriously fierce figure now appeared to be truly gentle.

Smiling, he leaned back in the rocking chair, swaying leisurely, speaking in a soft and slow voice.

Who could imagine that such a mild-mannered old man had become famous through killing? And, "most skilled at killing"!

Chong Xuan Sheng, who was similar in build but a bit fatter than him, heard this and said: "He should have been severely injured, but he is safe now. I told him not to return to Qi Kingdom for now, but to go somewhere else and wander around, and come back after things here settle down. To prevent those people from targeting him again."

Chong Xuan Chu Liang nodded and asked: "Does he know the current situation in the country? What was his reaction?"

"I have told him. As for his reaction..." Chong Xuan Sheng smiled: "He's always a little sad."

Chong Xuan Chu Liang said calmly: "Such things have happened in the past, are happening now, and will happen in the future. Tell him not to take reputation too seriously. He is good in every way, but he is too constrained in the way he lives and acts."

Chong Xuan Sheng shook his head: "It is not reputation that constrains him, but his original intention. He is willing, so he does it. He is unwilling, so he refuses. Pursuing fame is also pursuing profit, which is not what Jiang Wang seeks. What he seeks is a clear conscience."

He glanced at the western sky, seeing the brilliant sunset, like blood.

"If one day, he feels that no one in this world is not killable, and no one in this world is not hateful... he will be more wicked than the most evil person in the world."
