Chapter 1599 291_3
Li Zhiyuan walked up the steps, just as he was about to enter, he saw a white dog lying on the carpet at the entrance.
His own Xiao Hei was the standard model of the Five Black Dogs, with a solid build and shiny fur, while this white dog was the opposite extreme.
It had a slender build, lying there licking its paws and grooming itself, exuding an aura of elegance and nobility.
However, to be honest, even Li Zhiyuan felt that comparing his Xiao Hei to this one was somewhat insulting to the white dog.
Zhao Yi stared directly at this white dog, the Life and Death Door in his chest instinctively started to rotate.
Right at the start, Zhao Yi's eyes turned white, he quickly shut the Life and Death Door, cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
Just now, he was about to probe the dog, but in his consciousness, countless scenes filled in, both things that had happened and things that had not, all sorts of thoughts, incomparably chaotic.
It was just him who could barely hold on, if it were someone else, they would have already gone mad at that moment.
The white dog continued leisurely tending to its fur, as if it was really just a dog engrossed in its own business.
Li Zhiyuan continued walking forward.
The boy's eyes also gleamed with white.
Endless distracting thoughts, as if peering into his inner heart, crazily impacting his consciousness.
Unlike Zhao Yi, Li Zhiyuan chose not to resist and digest, but to dump all these chaotic thoughts into the fish pond deep in his consciousness.
"Splash... splash..."
Like a waterfall descending from the sky, the previously small fry in the pond danced excitedly facing such an overwhelming fortune.
The white covered the boy's eyes, but he kept moving forward.
At this moment, the white dog finally stopped its paw grooming.
It turned its head, looking at the boy approaching steadily, originally unremarkable dog eyes gradually showed amusement, as if seeing a very interesting pet toy.
It raised its paw towards Li Zhiyuan, simultaneously, black chains appeared, binding it.
This was not Li Zhiyuan's doing; the boy only advanced, having done nothing yet.
It was likely the environment here that constrained the white dog, preventing it from acting recklessly.
The owner was speaking inside, the dog couldn't go in and could only guard at the door.
Li Zhiyuan kept moving forward.
Though the white dog was suppressed, its paw kept lifting, clearly, despite the rules here binding it, it still had the ability to exert a small act of defiance unique to a guard dog.
Zhao Yi had recovered, silently following behind the boy.
Though his legs were longer than Li Zhiyuan's, he took very small steps, always keeping the boy well protected in front of him.
Each step fell quietly, like walking on cat's feet.
Mr. Zhao's left eye was full of excitement, the right eye infinitely anxious.
He naturally knew who was inside, and guessed the identity of this white dog.
Zhao Yi was afraid but more expectant.
The white dog's paw finally pointed at Li Zhiyuan.
The boy also raised his hand, pointing at it.
Fengdu Twelve Commandments—Kneel and Hear the Proclamation.
The black chains on the white dog intensified instantly, pressing it to the ground, its mouth tightly against the tile surface, unable to move.
In this moment, its eyes no longer had arrogance and playfulness, but were filled with anger.
As a dog, it now felt deeply insulted by a human!
The White Crane True Monarch had suggested to the boy at Ghost Street in the morning to start setting up the Array, the boy responded: Here is Fengdu.
It's the same here.
That figure arrived.
That figure came here not to visit a guesthouse, but to find someone.
Two Immortal-like beings meeting, even just a contact of consciousness could deeply alter the surrounding environment, even creating a Barrier unique to them.
The white dog relied on that presence to act with the tiger's majesty outside the door.
Li Zhiyuan was the same.
The difference was, the white dog was a mount, Li Zhiyuan was an Inheritor, so the extent of borrowing power from their respective backers varied.
This time, Li Zhiyuan chose to stand on the Great Emperor's side because he believed he could leverage his nominally orphaned identity as an Inheritor to gain great convenience in Fengdu.
Truly, all this convenience came from the Great Emperor's acquiescence, at least the Great Emperor couldn't oppose, had to let the boy exploit this loophole.
If the Great Emperor opposed...then there would be no point in playing this game, and Li Zhiyuan would have no reason to continue standing on the Great Emperor's side.
Unlike Zhao Yi who came with the thought of making amends after offending the Great Emperor, Li Zhiyuan acknowledged that he had taken many advantages from the Great Emperor, so it was only right to repay a part.
If you don't want it, then I...won't repay it.
The boy didn't avoid it, directly stepping over the white dog.
The white dog's body trembled, fangs appearing at the corners of its mouth, yet it was helpless.
Then, the white dog's gaze fell on Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi hesitated.
Stepping over was tempting fate.
But if he didn't step over, he would wake up at night, clutch his head, and shout regretfully.
Soon, Zhao Yi made up his mind, indeed as he told the one named Li before, it's better to enrich his epitaph.
Zhao Yi lifted his leg, stepping over the white dog.
This time, the white dog exhibited a stronger anger than when the boy stepped over it before!
Because the boy could leverage the forces here to suppress it, no matter how furious the white dog was, it acknowledged the boy as "equal" to itself.
