46: 46 Cultivation Technique
“Oh, success!”
Seizing the rare opportunity, Xigou scampered over, eager to get close and snuggle.
Then, he looked at his system panel with great anticipation.
The next moment, his system panel suddenly became blurry, then slowly sharpened.
“Haha, I got an upgrade too…”
Xigou’s heart surged with joy; he inspected his system panel closely and then went quiet.
Fang Zhixing glanced over.
[Species: Canine]
[Talent: Dog’s Bonds]
[Bloodline: Maned Wolf]
[Bloodline Burst Skill: Poisonous Wolf Teeth (each use consumes 1 life)]
[Life Remaining Times: 4]
“No upgrade, but you had three lives left before, and now it’s back to four,” Fang Zhixing said, raising his eyebrows and musing, “So it seems that when I upgrade, your upgrade isn’t guaranteed, but your state should be maxed out.”
Xigou’s ears drooped in disappointment, “Damn it, I thought I would learn how to read.”
Fang Zhixing rolled his eyes and sneered, “What are you dreaming of, you’re just a dog.
If you could read, wouldn’t that defy the heavens?”
Not admitting defeat, Xigou turned to the first page of the dictionary, placed his paw on the first character, and said, “This character reads ‘mountain,’ like in landforms and geography.”
These days, following Fang Zhixing and watching Wang Yitong teach him, he had also picked up a few characters by osmosis.
Fang Zhixing’s eyes brightened, he clucked his tongue in approval, “Not bad, you actually know to learn on the sly.”
Xigou held his head up proudly and declared, “Don’t underestimate a dog.
If I get serious, you won’t have anything to do with it.”
After pondering for a moment, Fang Zhixing’s lips curled into a smile, “Alright, since you’re so actively participating, I’ll entrust you with an important mission.”
Xigou instinctively took a few steps back and stared at Fang Zhixing with great wariness, asking, “What mission?
What sneaky plot are you thinking of this time?”
“You have four lives, what’s there to panic about!”
Fang Zhixing looked down on him and said, “The task is straightforward.
Use your handsome appearance to your advantage, sneak into Luo Kegong’s bedroom and study to look for martial arts manuals.”
Xigou showed his teeth and said, “You mean because a dog won’t attract attention, right?”
Fang Zhixing laughed, “Isn’t that one of your rare strong points?
Don’t you want to make good use of it?”
Xigou turned his head away, disdainfully saying, “Don’t freaking order me around!”
“Oh my, if you don’t get spanked for three days, you’ll run wild on the roof!”
Fang Zhixing crossed his arms over his chest and said flatly, “Are you itching for a beating?”
Unmoved, Xigou said, “I take the risk; you reap the benefits.
No way.”
Fang Zhixing laughed out of sheer exasperation and retorted, “Idiot, when I upgrade, don’t you upgrade too?
Who’s reaping the benefits?
No, you’re even better, you’re winning without trying, lying there and reaping the benefits!”
Still defiant, Xigou said, “Our progression isn’t in sync.
You can keep advancing steadily, but whether I upgrade or not is pure luck.
Let me ask you, can you guarantee that the next time you upgrade, I will definitely upgrade?”
Fang Zhixing chuckled coldly, “I get it now, you just want everything for free without lifting a finger.”
Xigou huffed, “Who would do something for no benefit?
Would you?”
After thinking, Fang Zhixing replied, “Alright, if you help me obtain the cultivation technique, and I upgrade next time but you don’t, I will give you something in return.”
Xigou’s spirits lifted, and he wagged his tail, “What kind of compensation?”
Fang Zhixing glared, “Apart from getting you more delicious food, what other desires do you have?
Or do you want me to find you a female dog?”
“Go to hell!”
Xigou yowled, “Listen up, I want beef bones, nine meals in three days.
Get the food ready first, then we’ll talk work.”
“Fine, fine, you’ve got guts!” Fang Zhixing said through clenched teeth, clearly agitated.
However, for the discreet task of finding the martial arts manuals, Xigou was irreplaceable.
In the end, Fang Zhixing bit the bullet and accepted it.
At dusk, he took Xigou to a time-honored beef restaurant and ordered a pot of beef bones.
Both man and dog ate to their hearts’ content.
Afterward, they returned to the Li Zheng residence.
Fang Zhixing wrote on the ground, telling Xigou, “According to old Wang, Luo Kegong has more than one martial arts manual.
The confirmed techniques are ‘Wang Family Inch Fist’ and ‘Iron Mountain Skill.’ You need to remember these seven characters.”
Xigou silently memorized the content several times and nodded, “Alright, I’ve got it.”
By this time, the sky had just darkened, and the moon rose above the treetops.
Xigou shook his body, transforming into another version of himself, and left it motionless in the room.
Then, Fang Zhixing picked up Xigou, knocked on Wang Yitong’s room door with a smile, and struck up a casual conversation.
Shortly after, the other Xigou slipped out from the crack of the door, silently left the courtyard, stopping now and then as he trotted his way around the rockery, through a round archway, and arrived outside a room.
There was a light on in the room, and shadows moved across the window.
This was Luo Kegong’s study.
“Master, it’s getting late, time to rest,” said the housekeeper.
Standing in front of the desk, the housekeeper looked up with a smile, “The first, second, and fourth wives have friends over for mahjong, and the fifth wife is not feeling well.
Are you going to the third wife tonight, or the sixth?”
Luo Kegong yawned and turned to ask, “What about number seven?”
The housekeeper replied quickly, “You forgot, the seventh wife’s mother is critically ill.
She went back to her maternal home three days ago.”
Scratching his head and hesitating for a moment, Luo Kegong finally said, “I’ll go to number six then.”
“Alright, I’ll go notify the sixth wife right away.”
With a smile, the housekeeper turned and left the room.
As he reached the door, he gestured with his hand.
Soon, a maid appeared, carrying a bowl of Goji berry soup, which she brought to Luo Kegong’s lips for him to drink.
Before long, Luo Kegong got up and left the study.
The room was left with just two maids, who began to clean up, sweeping the floor and wiping the table.
“Woof woof!”
Suddenly, a dog’s bark, sounding milky and tender, could be heard.
The two maids looked closely and saw a little dog crawling over the threshold into the study.
“Huh, where did this little dog come from?”
“Does anyone in the house keep a dog?”
The maids, filled with curiosity, picked up Xigou and began to play with him.
Xigou happily stuck out his tongue to lick all around, even trying to burrow into their chests.
“Alright, alright, let’s get back to work otherwise the housekeeper will scold us again.”
A moment later, the maids put Xigou down on the ground to let him play.
Xigou hopped and jumped around the room, scratching at books with his paws when he encountered them.
Although the room was called a study, there weren’t many books inside.
Instead, it was filled with many exquisite wood carvings.
That’s because Luo Kegong wasn’t much of a reader; he preferred playing with wood carvings.
After a while, Xigou found a thick brocaded box with ornate carvings on its surface.
Using all the strength he could muster, he used his head to pry open the lid and saw books inside.
The topmost book had two very familiar characters on its cover. ƒreewebɳovel.com
It seemed to be “Inch Fist”!
“Found it!”
Xigou was overjoyed and quickly ran out of the study, but just as he was leaving, something suddenly jumped out from an angle.
“Meow~”
Xigou got a fright and his fur puffed up.
A large white cat stood in his way, staring intently at Xigou, arching its back slightly and baring its teeth as a threat.
“Damn, where did this cat come from?”
Xigou wasn’t interested in trouble, so he skirted around the white cat and sprinted away.
But as soon as the white cat saw Xigou attempting to run, it pounced, flailing its paws and managing to scratch him.
“Freaking heck!”
Fire burned across Xigou’s face from the pain as his skin was scratched open, and his temper flared in an instant.
He hugged the white cat tightly and bit down on its neck.
“Ah!
Why are they fighting?” A maid suddenly cried out in fear.
“It’s the young master’s cat; you can’t bite!” The maid was shouting.
Xigou let go, not caring whether the white cat was dead or alive, and made a break for it.
