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

  • Dogs Saving the World   Adoption gift

    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

  • Dogs Saving the World   TOWNHOUSE

    Kong Xiuwen is extremely efficient. After Daju agreed to attend classes, he quickly contacted the home tutor to prepare for learning.For safety reasons, these home tutors, even if they are not superhumans, are ordinary people closely connected to the Twenty-Eight Mansions. However, even so, they cannot enter the headquarters without permission and surveillance. Therefore, Kong Xiuwen thought about letting Daju live in his house in Su Fangcheng for the convenience of the tutors to teach.Chihuahua didn't want to leave the headquarters with free cupcakes and an ice cream machine. He persistently pestered Kong Xiuwen until he reluctantly agreed to bring Chihuahua back to the headquarters to rest every day. Only then did Chihuahua happily return, bouncing back to pack his things."Do we need to bring pillows? Oh, I must bring my woven dog bed! And the snack cabinet!"The two rummaged through the rest area, discussing what to bring back to live with.Kong Xiuwen stopped Daju from trying t

    With a crisp sound, the partition in the basement of the small western-style building opened, and a stiff wooden puppet crawled out, patting the sticky blood off its feet onto the tiled floor of the first floor.The wooden puppet's carved, pallid eyeballs protruded high, only a small piece of wood connecting them to its face, as if they could fall to the ground in the next moment. Nonetheless, they continued to rotate stubbornly, its gaze shifting from the blackboard to the gloomy corner of the small western-style building where the curtains were drawn.The brush was broken in half, with one half thrown back into the drawer where chalk was stored, and the drawer was slammed shut. The other half was held in the wooden puppet's hand, solemnly adding another stroke to the blackboard.This marked the one thousand two hundred and forty-third year of the Abyssal Sect's presence in the mortal world. It was also the five hundred and thirty-seventh year of its assignment

    As Daju leaped into the basement, he immediately calmed down from his embarrassed state and cautiously observed his surroundings with his pupils dilated into straight lines. Although he had been chatting with Kong Xiuwen just now, his professional instincts as a member of the Southern Palace team made him notice the sticky blood stains on the puppet's feet. Combined with the vague footprints on the floor, the source of this blood must be in the basement.Therefore, Daju was fully prepared to see a scene of horrifying violence in the basement, assuming it to be the place where this puppet carried out its tasks. However, he was surprised to find that the basement was much more normal than he had imagined. It was filled with gourd-shaped dolls, mostly dyed in bright red, with some unfinished ones placed in wooden boxes.Two paint buckets were placed in the center, next to a dirty paintbrush. The spilled paint on the floor left several footprints, apparently what they had

    The dog, being carried back to headquarters by Kong Xiuwen, drooped his ears in confusion, not understanding why he suddenly couldn't talk to Yuan Zhao. However, as soon as Kong Xiuwen took out the grooming brush and talcum powder, he immediately forgot what he was pondering about and happily bounced to Kong Xiuwen's side.Kong Xiuwen lowered his gaze, gently combing Chiwawa's fur.The small building that had been sealed off by the Twenty-Eight Constellations was definitely not going to be inhabited for the time being. The collected materials were still handed over to the Eastern Palace team. Instead of Daju, who volunteered to translate the Hellish script, it was Li Hua who took up the task. So, after a busy day, Kong Xiuwen and Daju finally had some time to rest, allowing them to return to the lounge and groom the dog under the setting sun.After grooming for about half an hour, Chiwawa was already so comfortable that he was spinning in place, purring happily.

    As the days passed, the researchers of the Eastern Palace team had developed a habit of avoiding the wooden puppet. Even Li Hua, who volunteered to bring maintenance materials like walnut oil, parchment, and graphite pencils to the puppet every day, retreated completely when the puppet pulled out a "Dog Mate Preference Survey Form."Fortunately, although the research progress on the wooden puppet was hindered, there had been significant progress in deciphering the other materials in the small villa. The information about the organization of the Azure Falls was piling up in the confidential files of the Twenty-Eight Constellations."Do you know about the legend of the Three Masters of the Azure Falls?" Holding up a picture depicting a doll, a wooden puppet, a spinning top, and a woman with long hair, the research team leader looked at Li Hua and asked solemnly.Li Hua proudly puffed up his chest, "I do!"Although he didn't know before, Kong Xiuwen had told

    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

    The Blood Sacrifice Formation

    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

    Animal Army

    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

    Split Up

    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

    Night talk

    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."

    Son of Satan

    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

    Magical Abilities

    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
