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
While Claude walked to school with his backpack, and Hua sat in the infirmary receiving treatment, Daju sat on the cold, damp ground, discussing with Kong Xiuwen the strategy for leaving the fishing village."The spatial teleportation gate installed inside the stove was originally intended to connect directly to the Twenty-Eight Constellations branch, to facilitate monitoring the situation in the fishing village, and also to compensate for the previous one-way transmission gate's shortcomings," Kong Xiuwen, exhausted, wiped his sweaty hair and spoke hoarsely. "Fortunately, the teleportation gate was still incomplete. I made some temporary modifications and redirected the destination to a nearby cave not far from the fishing village."However, at that time, he was critically injured, cursed, and never thought he would live to see another sunrise. He had risked his last breath to escape into the teleportation channel, just to prevent the Bi Luo organization from getting
Outside the fishing village, about half a mile away, there was a slope where the villagers used to dump their garbage. Here, jagged rocks protruded, forming a deep crevice at the boundary, which might lead directly to the ocean or could just be a rock formation. Regardless, anyone who fell in had never been able to come back out, leaving the villagers ignorant of the answer.This place, near the seaside, had a pungent smell of fish permeating the air. Fish bones, fish heads, and rotting fish meat were everywhere. The crevice, which was practically a garbage dump, was even more nauseating. Even being dozens of meters away made people want to vomit.However, at this moment, the three members of the Beigong team hiding in the crevice had no mind to notice this disgusting smell."I have to go back! Kong Squad is still inside!" one of the members paced back and forth in the space less than three square meters created by their abilities, lowering his voice and roaring
Flipping over the threshold and stumbling into the nearby patch of mottled weeds, Daju peered out with his round, rolling eyes, his ears tilted as he pondered how to sneak around. Then he saw a group of animals running not far away.Most of these animals were dogs, interspersed with quite a few cats, rabbits, and even chicks and ducklings. Daju even spotted several round, fluffy amber-colored hamsters running swiftly. Upon closer inspection, he realized they were several light-yellow Syrian hamsters.Thinking back to the army of dogs that once intercepted the Nan Gong team at the village entrance, Daju perked up his ears and solemnly sharpened his claws on the stones: "Why did so many animals suddenly appear in the Fishing Village? Is the Bi Luo Organization planning to infect them with the Hellcat virus to control them? This is unforgivable, woof!"[Don't worry, at least for now, they haven't been infected.]After observing for a moment, the Dog Toy brea
Lihua dashed through the teleportation gate with Daju and arrived in Longcheng. He jumped straight out of the window of the office building and rushed towards their destination, treading along the eaves and rooftops.In the vast Longcheng, the darkness became his safest camouflage. His tail swung rhythmically, slightly curled up with the pace of his running.[Running from here to the Fishing Village, even at the fastest speed, would take several hours. With that effort, Kong Xiuwen might have already returned to headquarters by himself!]The Dog Toy poured cold water on the idea."I'm not planning to run over there," Lihua suddenly leaped from the rooftop, rolled gracefully to the ground, and turned into a narrow alley next to the sky bridge. "When we left the Fishing Village earlier, to prevent the Bi Luo Organization from returning, the Twenty-Eight Constellations not only installed almost comprehensive surveillance around the Fishing Village but also p
After using the Puppet Man's letters to locate and raid one of the strongholds of the Verdant Fall organization, the Twenty-Eight Constellations remained on high alert. Both the number of night patrols and the members stationed in the Constellation City increased several times, constantly guarding against the retaliation of the Verdant Fall organization.However, the news that the Verdant Fall organization originated from Hell, with its mastermind possibly even being the Lord of Hell himself, although known only to a few individuals such as Luo Bosi and the four captains, inevitably cast a shadow over their hearts.At this moment, Claude was also facing the most anxious challenge since meeting the Dog Toy."The final exams are coming!"[...]The Dog Toy was shocked."Your biggest challenge so far is the final exams?!"If the Hellcat, the Psychic Sect, and the Verdant Fall organization heard this, they would explode the entire Constell
Lobos listened to the recording with a solemn expression, rubbed his temples, and looked at Liehua, who was pretending to be innocent in front of him. He was speechless for a while, paused for a long time before speaking, "When a deity falls, their divine essence should turn to dust. Why would there be fragments of the dog god's divine essence scattered in the world?"He had entered the remnants of deities by chance and obtained many secrets about the fall of the gods. Therefore, although he had many speculations about Liehua's identity, he hadn't thought about it at the level of divine essence.Thinking about it now, many questions arose."What the person from the Bi Luo organization said may be true," Lobos said with slightly narrowed eyes, pondering for a moment. His voice softened as he continued, "If fragments of the dog god's divine essence exist in the world, and if they are collected and fully absorbed, there is indeed a possibility of becoming a god."
Chihuahua hid in the gap between the chair and the cushion, lazily exposing its white belly. It didn't resist when Kong Xiuwen rubbed it, but instead tapped his wrist with its paws, indicating that he should massage harder.The awakening of Liehua, Golden Furry, and the main body gave him a rough psychological preparation for the power of this soul fragment. Obviously, the type of this ability is strongly correlated with the physical strength and talent of the avatar itself. And given Da Ju's expertise in healing, his awakened power must also be related to healing.It would be best if it were the kind of ability to heal inanimate objects, like restoring magic. Da Ju thought happily. This way, every time he accidentally bit through the charging cable or plastic wrap at home in his dog form, he could cover up his crime perfectly and wouldn't be scolded by Kong Xiuwen."[Chihuahua's awakening this time is related to healing.]"Sure enough, the dog toy spoke th
The first thing Lihua did when he returned to the lounge was to absorb the fragment of the divine soul.The absorption of the divine soul fragment was much more difficult than that of the Dog God's flesh fragments. This power not only merged with the body but also intertwined with the soul, like a meticulous surgical procedure.To Lihua's surprise, this fusion affected not only himself but also the Golden Haired, Daju, and Givava dolls, and even Claude's main body."[Of course, the divine soul fragment directly affects the soul. Since you have so many alter egos, each alter ego will have a certain affinity for magic and will develop corresponding abilities. Isn't this normal?]" The toy dog spoke matter-of-factly, making Claude momentarily doubt if he was overreacting.However, he quickly dismissed the thought and instead began testing the newly acquired magical abilities of each alter ego.The most important, of course, was Lihua, who was the main
The stronghold of the Bi Luo Organization is quite different from what the members of the Twenty-Eight Constellations imagined.Considering the mysterious power of the Bi Luo Organization, they originally thought that this stronghold, even if not like the futuristic metal fortress filled with black technology in Star Wars, would be an elegant and majestic ancient mansion with traps hidden everywhere. In any case, it shouldn't look as ordinary as it does now.It looks like an office building that can be found everywhere in the Su Fang City, with countless files stuffed in folders, haphazardly stacked inside cabinets, filling three large rooms. On the other side, there is a three-meter-tall antique bookshelf, on top of which are many souvenirs. With just one glance, Lihua saw several bright red roly-polys, which were probably from the same batch as the ones made by the wooden puppet and himself in the small villa.If it weren't for the several capable members of t
