I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 882 Mr. Dog
The big black dog's eyes were full of vigilance, as if Zhang Chen had done something heinous.

"You will pass on your profound skills to me, and you can make a condition for me," Zhang Chen said to the big black dog. "You can make any condition you want."

As for using Ji Feihua as a threat? Zhang Chen still needed to use Ji Feihua to persuade Grand Tutor Ji Chuan, so of course he wouldn't use Ji Feihua as a pretext.

Most importantly, he was afraid that this damned dog might tamper with the technique and end up getting himself into trouble, which would be disastrous. So, if the conditions proposed by the other party were something he could do, then he could do it for them. He could see that the big black dog was in a sorry state, which was the perfect opportunity for him to make his move.

"I set a condition and you fulfilled it? You've got quite the nerve, kid. I, your ancestor, want a peach from the Queen Mother of the West, and you think you can provide that?" The Howling Sky Divine Lord glanced sideways at Zhang Chen.

"If you can find me a peach from the Queen Mother of the West, I will immediately teach you the incantation for the Mystic Transformation Technique." The big black dog looked at Zhang Chen smugly, not believing that Zhang Chen could find the legendary peach at all. He just didn't want to teach Zhang Chen the Mystic Transformation Technique.

The profound transformations are the supreme secrets of my master's sect; how could they be easily revealed?
Zhang Chen looked at the big black dog, fearing it might cheat, so he quickly spun a die in his sleeve: "Old dog, how about we make a bet? If I can really find the legendary peaches of immortality, your mystical transformations will belong to me."

He deliberately set a trap, directly setting the transformation of the profound technique to belong to him, without needing the consent of the Howling Heaven God, and directly seizing the other party's technique to prevent the big black dog from tampering with it.

"What if you lose?" Lord Xiaotian asked.

"If I lose, you can name any terms you want!" Zhang Chen said without hesitation.

The Heavenly Lord's eyes lit up immediately: "If you lose, you'll become my pet, how about it?"

It had long coveted Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen was on good terms with the princess. If it could make Zhang Chen its concubine, wouldn't that be equivalent to the princess becoming its concubine? Wouldn't that put it at a higher level than the princess?
"Okay!" Zhang Chen nodded in agreement without hesitation.

With the bet settled, Zhang Chen looked at Dog Master and said, "Come with me to the Inspection Department, and I will give you the peaches then."

"You really have peaches of immortality? Such divine objects are not something you can possess. Dream on! Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You just want to trick me out of the secret technique of profound transformation, and then find a way to renege on your promise. I, your dog, have seen through your schemes long ago." Xiaotian Divine Lord looked at Zhang Chen with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Zhang Chen ignored Xiaotian Shenjun's words and instead looked up at Ji Feihua opposite him: "When we arrive at the Inspection Division later, I will take a look at Miss Ji's injuries."

Upon hearing this, Ji Feihua's pure eyes sparkled, and her slender figure bowed respectfully to Zhang Chen: "This humble woman thanks you. If you can help me resolve the hidden dangers on my body, this humble woman will definitely repay you."

Zhang Chen replied, "There's no need for formalities. Although I'm not exactly on good terms with this old dog, we do have some connection. Since you've done it a favor, I naturally won't stand by and watch it die."

Although the big black dog is currently just an ordinary dog ​​that has lost all its cultivation, once it eats the peaches of immortality, it can restore its strength to at least the twelfth level, at which point it will also gain an ally.

Therefore, Zhang Chen chose to bribe and win over Xiaotian Divine Lord rather than threaten him.

The group drove the carriage back to the Inspection Office once again. Zhang Chen said to Xie Lingyun, "Prepare a quiet room for me."

Xie Lingyun nodded: "Come with me."

Zhang Chen turned to look at Lord Xiaotian: "Old dog, come with me!"

Doggy looked at Zhang Chen suspiciously: "What is it?"

Zhang Chen stepped forward, grabbed the dog's head, and dragged it to follow Xie Lingyun: "Just follow me, do you think I'd eat dog meat?"

Seeing Zhang Chen dragging the big black dog, Ji Feihua, who was on the other side, looked a little anxious on her delicate face: "Don't anger it, or it will be troublesome if it bites you again."

"Please wait here a moment, young lady. I need to discuss some things with Big Black Dog," Zhang Chen said to Ji Feihua, whose face was full of worry.

"Hey kid, let go of me right now! How dare you drag me, your dog, in front of everyone? What kind of behavior is this?" The big black dog angrily scolded Zhang Chen and then bit his wrist.

Zhang Chen tried to dodge, but failed. Although the big black dog seemed to move at an ordinary speed, the spatial force was somehow distorted, causing Zhang Chen's arm to fail to dodge.

"You dare bite me! Let go of me right now!" Zhang Chen once again covered the big black dog's eyes, barking as he followed Xie Lingyun toward the secret chamber.

"It seems you're really familiar with it, otherwise you wouldn't be fighting like this." Xie Lingyun looked at the two guys tearing at each other from the front, feeling the veins on her forehead bulging. Countless people from the Inspection Division passed by along the way, all casting strange glances at her.

“I’m not very familiar with him, but we have a good relationship!” Zhang Chen said.

"What's this guy's background?" Xie Lingyun asked, looking at the large black dog being torn apart, its face contorted by Zhang Chen's claws. "Do you know Zhou Chuan?" Zhang Chen asked in return.

"Of course I've heard of the number one martial artist." Xie Lingyun nodded, wondering why she was being connected to Zhou Chuan again.

“Zhou Chuan used to be ridden on his head like a pet!” Zhang Chen said.

Xie Lingyun's smile vanished upon hearing this, her expression stiffening slightly. She glanced at the large black dog rolling its eyes and asked, "This one... can treat Zhou Chuan like a pet?"

“He was once a being who had surpassed the twelfth rank, but due to some accident, his cultivation level dropped,” Zhang Chen replied.

Xie Lingyun's expression turned serious, her eyes fixed intently on the large black dog. Even the way she addressed it, "It," changed: "What's the background of this dog? I've never heard of it before. Does such a being truly beyond the twelfth rank exist in this world?"

She immediately changed her address to "Dog Master," showing no doubt whatsoever about Zhang Chen's words.

"Of course there are! It's just that they face immense difficulties in this world." Zhang Chen sighed softly.

"Little brother, let go of me quickly, you've made me roll my eyes back!" Xie Lingyun hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Zhang Chen's arm, separated the two, and freed the big black dog.

"You little girl, you've got some sense. From now on, you'll be under my protection. You'll be my pet from now on." The big black dog circled Xie Lingyun once, and its body began to shrink, turning into a little puppy. It jumped onto Xie Lingyun's lap and climbed up her waist to her shoulder.

"No! Get down right now!" Upon seeing this, Zhang Chen suddenly felt a sense of foreboding and hurriedly reached out to pull the big black dog off, but Xie Lingyun stopped him with her hand: "Why are you in such a hurry? This dog doesn't want to walk and wants to lie on me for a while, what's wrong with that? How can you be so clueless!"

Xie Lingyun brushed aside Zhang Chen's outstretched hand and considerately placed the big black dog on her shoulder. But to everyone's surprise, the big black dog jumped onto Xie Lingyun's head and then raised its hind legs, making a move that Zhang Chen was familiar with.

"Be careful, this beast can spray..." Before Zhang Chen could finish speaking, the big black dog sprayed out a familiar wave of heat, directly drenching Xie Lingyun's head.

Zhang Chen paused, realizing it was too late to say anything more. Looking at the disheveled Xie Lingyun, he could only helplessly turn his head to look into the distance, his back to Xie Lingyun.

Xie Lingyun's smile froze on the spot, her voice filled with coldness: "I was wrong! I was terribly wrong! I should have believed you. With your temper, you would beat up even a big black dog, which shows how hateful this big black dog is."

"Woof... Woof woof woof... What are you trying to do, you human pet..."

Zhang Chen had his back to the two of them when he heard the big black dog howl behind him: "If you dare pull my ear again, I'll bite you!"

"Ouch! You actually dared to bite me! Let go of me right now!" Xie Lingyun's frantic voice rang out: "Zhang Chen, come help me hold it down, I'm going to give it a good beating!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen turned his head and saw that Dog Master had already bitten Xie Lingyun's buttocks. Xie Lingyun looked at Zhang Chen for help with a frantic expression, while gouging out the big black dog's eyes. She was no longer a lady. The two of them were pulling and tugging at each other in a very embarrassing situation.

"You little girl, you're the one who wanted to be my pet, why are you going back on your word now?" the big black dog scolded angrily, his face full of displeasure.

Zhang Chen shook his head as he watched the two of them making a scene. The big black dog was still as cheeky as ever.

However, the big black dog was careful with its bites. Although it didn't let go after biting, it never drew blood, and Zhang Chen's body was never even scratched.

Zhang Chen stepped forward and pulled Gouye away, his voice filled with helplessness: "Now that your cultivation has been reduced to the mortal realm, aren't you afraid of attracting others to capture you and stew you like dog meat? Why are you still causing trouble everywhere?"

"She wants to be my pet, and of course I, Doggy, will grant her wish. Only by being nourished by my precious elixir and having her soul marked by my scent can she truly belong to me as my pet. Clearly, she willingly wanted to be my pet, so why does she turn her back on me so easily?" The big black dog's voice was filled with rage.

Xie Lingyun, her face dark, rubbed her bottom. Although it hurt, there was no redness or swelling, only that her clothes were torn, making her look somewhat disheveled: "Zhang Chen, don't you think today is a good day to eat dog meat?"

"I want to eat roasted dog leg," Zhang Chen replied with a smile.

The big black dog's eyes darted around, and it was about to struggle and bite Xie Lingyun, but Zhang Chen grabbed it by the neck: "Don't cause me any trouble. Stay put and behave, or I'll really have to eat barbecue today."

The big black dog struggled but couldn't break free, so it had to behave. It glared at Xie Lingyun with its eyes full of dissatisfaction and said, "Indeed, my master is right. Women are the most fickle animals."
