With both of them staring at him, Daju innocently blinked his eyes and cautiously leaned towards Kong Xiuwen's side.
He certainly preferred his own Tang Team, but Kong Xiuwen's physical treatment had not yet finished; at least he had to wait until he healed himself before he could leave.
More importantly, although Tang Aibai was diligent, responsible, and very kind, Kong Xiuwen was definitely better at taking care of children. As Daju allowed Kong Xiuwen to wipe the food residue from his mouth and accepted the small piece of candy handed to him, he happily thought about it.
Kong Xiuwen smiled slightly, pretending not to see Tang Aibai's failed attempt to snatch the child, and held Daju's paw, leading him confidently towards the Eastern Palace.
The Eastern Palace research team had received Kong Xiuwen's message early in the morning and was waiting in the examination room. When they saw Jiawawa, they all greeted him warmly, rubbing his ears and squeezing hi
It seemed that, to avoid questions about the side effects of his superpower, Kong Xiuwen had not appeared in the following days. Instead, he sent a member of the Beigong Team to deliver Daju's clothes to the medical room.The happiest person about Jiwawa staying in the medical team was undoubtedly the Nangong Team. Penghua and Qiaoliang almost came over every night before their night patrols to join the fun, bringing Daju bags of delicious snacks. Tang Aibai even went out of his way to buy chew toys and would sway back and forth in front of Daju's bed every night until he was driven out of the medical room by Lihua and Daju's combined efforts.It was definitely not because the two of them couldn't resist going after the chew toys! Absolutely not!Three days later, Lihua was discharged from the hospital.Since everyone already knew that Daju had healing abilities, no one questioned why he recovered so quickly. They all gathered in the examination room, and
By the time Liqua had completely sobered up and processed the drunken madness, Kong Xiuwen had disappeared without a trace, leaving only two members of the Beigong Team to help Tang Aibai clean up the mess.Liqua drooped his ears, sitting side by side with Daju, looking wilted like a sun-dried mushroom. Everyone had drunk quite a bit, and despite taking hangover medicine, they were all suffering from splitting headaches. No one had the energy to discipline the kids, so they hurried back to headquarters, ushering Liqua and Daju into the rest area before turning in for a much-needed sleep.Claude, who had been fed Liqua's elixir by Kong Xiuwen, was still relatively alert. He sat cross-legged on the carpet in the rest area, frowning as he discussed with the toy dog how to deal with the trouble he had caused his original self.He had been on edge the entire night, and sure enough, the next day he was called in by the headmaster, who gave him a thorough scolding but
Claude's original plan was to let Daju stay with Kong Xiuwen for one night and bring him back after the night patrol was over. After all, he had already dealt with the hell cats detained within the Twenty-Eight Mansions, and there wasn't much to do for a while. He could responsibly play the role of a good cousin, taking Daju out to eat, play video games, watch movies, and maybe even get to touch some of the handsome combat aircraft of the Twenty-Eight Mansions.After all, playing alone was fun, but playing together with two personas was double the fun! And when they got tired, they could eat double portions of ice cream and snacks together, doubling the joy even more!However, his happy thoughts turned to nothingness during the emergency meeting after the end of the night patrol.The meeting was convened in a particularly hurried manner, and even Tang Aibai hadn't heard about it beforehand. After receiving the notice, he hastily changed out of his combat uniform
Perhaps it was the legend of the Hell Gate here, or perhaps the weighty historical accumulation nurtured countless psychic sects. Suzhou City was often the most chaotic center of the Chinese psychic world, and this year, Suzhou was particularly restless.The appearance of the dog demon, explosions in residential areas, the resurrection of deities, and the eradication of the Dog Deity Sect... In recent weeks, the Twenty-Eight Constellations seemed to have gone mad, indiscriminately attacking all psychic sects. It was said that this was because members of the psychic sects had tortured and killed Yun Dong, a key member of the Southern Constellation team. The Twenty-Eight Constellations sought revenge for him.The fanatical believers who heard this news were completely bewildered. Who was Yun Dong? For heaven's sake, how come they had never heard of such a figure in the Twenty-Eight Constellations!Feigning innocence as his reason for contributing his physical educ
Claude soon had no time to worry about the sweet trouble of someone wanting to adopt the little dog. Ever since the Southern Palace Team found the location clues of the Evil God Sect, the Northern Palace Team had swiftly snatched back a lot of secret information. Finally, the various superpower sects in Su Fang City began to wake up belatedly.This was far from seeking revenge for the fallen members! It was just a casual excuse, even if it was just to target the superpower sects!Perhaps it was a case of mutual fear, or perhaps certain organizations were stirring up trouble in Su Fang, but in any case, the superpower sects, which had previously been cowering and fearing to act, began to actively unite and resist the Twenty-Eight Constellations. This resulted in considerable losses, and the headquarters' medical room became overcrowded once again.Fortunately, this time both the Southern Palace Team and the Northern Palace Team were mobilized simultaneously, and
With a guilty look, Lihua glanced around, and Kong Xiuwen gave him a stern look before turning and walking away in anger."Did he hear us?" Lihua whispered softly.Tang Aibai shrugged.He definitely heard it, but given Kong Xiuwen's serious demeanor and his usual leniency towards minors, even if he heard, he probably wouldn't say anything. Walking away without a word was probably the extent of his expression of anger."Don't mind him," Tang Aibai said, putting his arm around Lihua's shoulder and leading him towards the cafeteria. His voice was equally subdued, with a hint of nostalgia. "He wasn't like this before. If it weren't for six years ago—"Tang Aibai paused, seeming hesitant about whether to continue. Lihua scratched his ear and sensed the underlying turmoil in Tang Aibai's calm tone, so he didn't press.He didn't ask, but Tang Aibai seemed willing to continue: "Back then, I was still in the Northern Palace team, assisting the
When Kong Xiuwen returned to the lounge, his demeanor remained calm, seemingly unaffected by the covert discussions of his private matters by Lihua and Tang Aibai. He simply walked to the balcony and sat down, taking the Chihuahua doll from the dog bed into his arms.The Chihuahua lazily yawned, gradually awakening, and turned over in Kong Xiuwen's embrace, tilting its head up to look at him groggily. "When did you come back?" it mumbled."Just now," Kong Xiuwen pursed his lips, looking down at Daju in his arms. After a moment of silence, he spoke again, "Daju, do you like living with me?"Daju tilted his head, momentarily bewildered. "Huh?"Kong Xiuwen continued, "I mean, if you'd like to be formally adopted by me."Completely caught off guard by Kong Xiuwen's straightforward proposition, Daju's pupils dilated in shock. He instinctively fluffed his tail in embarrassment, lowered his head to lick his paws, and then remembered to feign ignorance, as
With the concerted opposition from Daju and Lihua, the adoption ceremony was simplified into a gathering of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, even the food was provided by the headquarters canteen. Everyone happily enjoyed a meal, processed the adoption certificate, and then Kong Xiuwen and Daju were officially considered a family."I have a gift for you."On the first night in the new lounge, Jiawawa knocked on Kong Xiuwen's bedroom door, holding a delicately wrapped gift box, looking shyly at Kong Xiuwen.It was a gift he had prepared for several days using Lihua's avatar, which he had finally managed to sneak into the lounge while Kong Xiuwen took Daju out, just to surprise Kong Xiuwen.Kong Xiuwen was indeed surprised.Taking it in his hands, seeing Jiawawa's eyes wide and his dog tail wagging expectantly, he couldn't help but laugh, carefully unwrapping the package and neatly setting aside the wrapping paper before solemnly opening the box.In
