Chapter 87 He's Really Become a Spirit! A Demon Encounters a 'Barking Immortal' While Sounding His Horn!
(No offense intended. The heretical sorcerer 'Barking Immortal' is a character from the novel *Shushan Swordsmen*. Please don't project your own personality onto him.)

……

Woof woof!~
The little mongrel barked at Chen Han, seemingly urging him on!
Chen Han, who was thinking about how to fight the dog demon king one-on-one, came back to his senses and looked at the little guy in front of him and thought of another problem: if he won the fight against the dog demon king and subdued the dog demon king, how would he go on to fight against the dog demon clan and how would he farm dog demon meat?

This is definitely a troubling problem.

Therefore, we cannot agree to the dog demon king's challenge for the time being; at least the problem of farming dog demon meat needs to be solved first.

Having made his decision, Chen Han stepped forward, picked up the little dog, and threw it out of the Chen family compound.

The little dog clearly wanted to dodge, but its leg was injured, and Chen Han's physique was now stronger than that of an ordinary person. He also had the +2 attribute of the magic robe he was wearing, so it couldn't dodge at all and was picked up directly.

"Little guy, you should..." Chen Han was saying when suddenly the game system displayed a notification:
[Congratulations on defeating the Dog Demon King! After a long and fierce battle, you have completely subdued the Dog Demon King, and it has kept its promise to become your pet. However, it has one condition: the Chen family must accept the Dog Demon clan, sharing both glory and ruin!]

"..." Chen Han hadn't even finished speaking when he was stunned.

No, system, can you explain why you picked it up and called it a long and intense battle?

He suspected that the system had set him up to advance the game's storyline!
It was definitely a setup.

Then he looked at the little mongrel dog he was holding. It was staring straight at him and then affectionately licked his hand.

This is clearly how a dog expresses affection to its owner.

He suspected that he had also been tricked by this little mongrel.

After all, it's rumored that intelligent dogs have a built-in radar for choosing owners. There was a video analysis about a stray dog ​​that sat at the entrance of a residential area and only wagged its tail at people who greeted it gently. After choosing an aunt as its owner, it patiently followed behind her every day when she went for a walk. Eventually, it was adopted and lived a happy life with the aunt.

This little mongrel is clearly the "king of dogs" that the older generation talks about. It's smarter than the average person, so after experiencing a life-or-death crisis like today and being saved, it might be thinking about finding a long-term meal ticket.

So, it's just trying to scam people.

Gan!
He looked at the little mongrel again, and the little mongrel licked his hand again, looking very submissive.

There's nothing we can do; in this situation, we can only accept being set up.

At the same time, a game quest prompt sounds:
[You have signed a beast pet contract with the Dog Demon King, taking in the Dog Demon clan. Please find a master for each of the Dog Demons. The cooperation between clan members and Dog Demons will not only enhance the clan's strength but also trigger the group-specific abilities of the mountain-guarding spirit beasts!]

Seeing that things had already come to this, Chen Han had no choice but to find out what the group's characteristics and abilities were, and at the same time, make good use of this material.

While holding the little mongrel in his hand, he also took out his phone and started recording: "...The Dog Demon King actually brought his entire dog demon clan here and challenged me to a one-on-one fight. Now the Dog Demon King has been defeated and subdued, and the clan has officially subdued the dog demon clan. From now on, many clan members can have an additional powerful canine pet!"

The video also gave a close-up of the stray dogs surrounding the area.

When this video goes out, I'm afraid many people will be shocked. Have you ever seen a smart dog find its own owner? Have you ever seen a dog lead a group of followers to find its owner?

He put down his phone and instructed Chen Lin, who was standing there somewhat stunned, "Uncle, since there was no dog theft today, to prevent this from happening again, let everyone take a dog home and raise it. Tell everyone that many tourists are still attracted by these dogs."

Chen Lin was actually a little confused, after all, he was attracted by the barking of dogs and came out to find that the stray dogs had surrounded his nephew's yard.

This scene looks strange no matter how you look at it.

Then I saw my nephew pick up the little mongrel and say that he was going to take in the dogs. I even suspected that my nephew had made some kind of agreement with the little mongrel.

But he himself found the idea ridiculous; how could a person and a dog possibly be together?

It's probably because my nephew needs these dogs for his video, and as he said, there was a dog theft today. It would be better if the Chen family had adopted them; if each family had one dog, it would only be leftovers.

Although the Chen family members were not wealthy, they were not short of food.

Chen Lin immediately took out his phone and filmed a video of the dogs, then sent it to the family group chat: "The head of the family said that we should adopt these stray dogs, and each family can come and adopt one."

As soon as he said that, many people responded, so he didn't have to say anything more.

The most enthusiastic responses came from those clansmen who had already been assigned jobs. After all, everyone knew about the sale of the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, and with the increasing number of tourists every day, no one was worried about not getting paid; everyone wanted to secure their jobs in the clan.

There are about 30 people in the Lei Cha (擂茶) production department, and quite a few others are responsible for carving bamboo tubes, acting as waiters, etc. Even if some are a family, they can still share most of the stray dog ​​problem.

Those who haven't been assigned work yet are naturally eager to perform well and support their family so that they can get priority when work is assigned later.

This is probably the prestige of the head of the family.

The penniless and unsuccessful head of the family is called Xiao Han by everyone.

Who is the head of the household who can lead everyone to wealth and provide them with jobs?
Before long, many of Chen's family members came out of their homes, forming a group of more than 40 people.

Xiaoyu arrived as well, and as soon as she did, that forgetful white dog fawned over her, surrounding her feet.

Girls are emotional creatures, and well-behaved animals are more likely to evoke their emotions. She hadn't said anything before because she wasn't interested in adopting a stray dog, but now that everyone was sharing the responsibility of taking one, she immediately said to her senior, "Senior, then I'll take Xiaobai as my pet!"

The large number of people gathered by the Chen family naturally attracted some tourists who came out to visit the ancient buildings of the Chen family. They came over to watch out of curiosity, and then watched with curiosity as one by one the members of the Chen family led their dogs away.

They clearly recognized them as the same dogs from the Chen family's videos.

Some tourists exclaimed in surprise, "Could these stray dogs have really been tamed by the Chen family head and are now being distributed among the dogs? But how could these dogs be so obedient when they are being distributed? In reality, there can't possibly be a dog demon king ruling over them."

The companion next to him immediately laughed: "Please, can you not be so naive? You don't really think they're stray dogs, do you? Aren't Chen's employees feeding them every day? Maybe they're owned by the Chen family, and they just gathered these dogs together because they wanted to film a video."

This surprised another tourist: "That's actually quite possible. In a previous video, the elder said that the Chen family knew beast taming techniques, so it's normal for the clan to keep a dog. They were just cooperating with the Chen family head in filming the video."

"Holy crap..." Suddenly, a tourist realized something: "So all along, those lion-headed geese and these dogs have been rigging the race?"

This surprised the surrounding tourists.

That's a really deep scheme.

Just thinking about it, the fact that the Chen family head could come up with such a script and train the lion-headed goose, the cow, and all these dogs to cooperate so well is truly amazing.

Or rather, the video of the Chen family head looks abstract, as if it is more advanced and requires more technical skill than anyone else's, and that others cannot learn it even if they want to.

The stray dogs were quickly sorted out, and Chen Han didn't forget to instruct, "Uncle, find a veterinarian tomorrow to vaccinate and deworm all these dogs."

"Okay." Chen Lin nodded, while pulling on the ear of a large black dog.

This is the one he adopted; it's one of the larger ones. As an elder of the workshop, even if he adopts a dog demon, it should be a more imposing one to have presence.

After distributing the dogs, Chen Han told everyone to disperse and that the veterinarian would bring the dogs back tomorrow. He then carried the little mongrel into the yard himself.

After that, he looked at the little mongrel and thought for a moment before saying, "I should think of a name for you. You're already blessed, so you'll be called Youcai (meaning 'wealthy'). You have no right to refuse. Otherwise, you can be called Wangcai (meaning 'prosperous')!"

The little dog was put down and wisely shut its mouth. Then it turned around and found a huge creature behind it, its nose almost touching its head.

Almost instinctively, it suddenly stepped back, and the dog and the cow began to stare at each other.

Chen Han looked at the game prompt in surprise:
[Under your arrangement, many members of the clan received a dog demon as a pet. The integration of the dog demon clan into the family also activated the unique ability of the mountain guardian beasts: patrolling the mountain gate in groups!]

Looking at this note, Chen Han was somewhat surprised. The fact that the dogs were patrolling the mountain gate in groups meant that they would continue to patrol around the Chen family compound.
If that's the case, doesn't that mean there's an extra team of security guards?
Buy them all a matching pet outfit with something like "Chen Family Patrol Spirit Beast" or "The Patriarch Sent Me to Patrol the Mountain" written on it; that would be a unique sight.

Perhaps many tourists will be attracted by this and come specifically to take pictures of them. After all, some people are just that bored. A pomegranate vendor and a pancake vendor can attract countless people to take pictures and block the road.

This made him realize that taking in these stray dogs was at least somewhat beneficial. Then he thought of something else: dog demon meat.

Now that the dog demon clan has submitted, is there still a way to hunt them down and obtain their flesh?

If it doesn't explode, that would be truly frustrating; it would feel like the system has tricked us. We absolutely have to arrange a fake match tomorrow.

Looking at the cow and dog facing off, he thought of the dog demon's blood again. With a thought, a small bottle of dog demon's blood appeared in his hand.

Almost instantly, he saw the little mongrel, or rather, Youcai, run to his feet, barking and staring intently at the canine demon blood in his hand.

He detected a hint of urgency in its barking; it clearly desired the blood of the dog demon.

It's truly a great product for breeding canine pets; it seems to have a huge appeal to dogs.

Wang!Wang!Wang!
The little mongrel started barking again, putting its front paws on Chen Han's thigh. It didn't even have the arrogance that a dog demon king should have, and it even rubbed its head against his thigh. It turns out this guy can use this kind of trick.

Chen Han also wanted to see what effects the dog demon's blood would have, so he opened the package and poured the blood into its mouth.

He waited for a moment, and nothing seemed to happen, but suddenly he saw the little dog stand up abruptly and spin around frantically, its fur standing on end. After a while, it lay down to the side and then stopped moving.

Chen Han frowned and immediately went forward to check. The dog's abdomen was rising and falling normally, and it seemed to be asleep.

After observing it for a while and seeing that it was alright, I was relieved.

It seemed that the cultivation of this dog demon's blood essence also required an absorption process. Seeing this, he returned to his room, sat down cross-legged, took out the spirit stone from the warehouse, and began to cultivate using the "Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method".

...

time flies.

As the night passed, Chen Han woke up to the alarm again. After putting away the spirit stones that had consumed most of his spiritual energy, he checked his lifespan: 17 years and 2 months.

Now, the lifespan gained through cultivation is increasing.

This is good news.

Just then, he suddenly looked to the side in astonishment and saw a small mongrel squatting there looking at him. Its fur had obviously become softer and its eyes had become brighter.

It's clearly the effect of the dog demon's blood.

wrong!

Chen Han suddenly realized something: "Holy crap, how did you get in? I locked the door..."

The door was still firmly shut; the dog couldn't possibly get in.

The dog clearly understood him. Suddenly, it pointed to the window and, before Chen Han could even finish asking, it had already jumped onto the window and then jumped down.

"???" Chen Han hurriedly stepped forward and saw the dog land on the wall below and then leap into the yard.

It seemed to see him appear at the window, so it used the momentum to sprint, and with one leap it got onto the wall, then two leaps got it to the protruding part of the house, and finally three leaps got it onto the windowsill, and then it climbed into his room.

Chen Hanzhen was surprised to see this.

The dog has learned wall parkour? The key point is that this is something a dog can do.

He then remembered that he had only asked how it got in, and it seemed to have pointed to the window, so he went down and demonstrated it.

Holy crap, this is really something else!

Chen Han immediately picked up the little dog, experimented with it, and even spent time teaching it the problem of 1+1=2.

Finally, it was confirmed that, just as the canine blood test results indicated, it had indeed become smarter.

He checked the time; it was almost dawn. He went into the bathroom to wash up and then headed out to the Spirit Cave.

When we arrived at the yard, we took a look at the Moon-Gazing Rabbit's enclosure.

Disappointingly, there was no Moon-Gazing Sand today.

It seems that the Moon-Gazing Rabbit's hut doesn't produce Moon-Gazing Sand every day.

Youfu then came over and lay down at his feet.

As he rode the ox out of the yard, Youcai, the dog, also darted out of the yard, barking loudly. He then saw a large black dog run out of his uncle's house and follow Youcai. As they walked, the dogs that had been assigned to the clan members the day before also ran out and gathered behind Youcai.

The sight of them marching in such large groups was quite spectacular, like soldiers obeying orders and returning to their ranks upon hearing the bugle call.

He rode the ox to the gate of the Chen family and was surprised to see Youcai and the dogs following him in one direction at a certain speed.

Moreover, they seemed quite orderly, not lazy or aimless.

He thought of something.

Is this what they mean by patrolling the mountain gate in groups?
They were patrolling for the Chen family.

Thinking about it, Chen Han also rode Youfu to the other side of the special spiritual cave.

As he sat cross-legged waiting for the spiritual energy to wash over him, he suddenly thought of something. He took out a spirit stone from the warehouse and put it aside, wanting to see if the spirit stone could absorb the spiritual energy.

After 5 a.m., the spiritual energy quickly washed over him, and he immediately began to cultivate.

When the cultivation ended, his lifespan increased by another six months, reaching 17 years and 8 months.

At 24 years old, with all that lifespan added, he could have lived to 41. It seems that many people actually die in their early forties.

Thinking about it, he got up and picked up the spirit stone next to him. After looking at it, he was somewhat disappointed. The spiritual energy in the spirit stone could not be replenished after it was used up.

These things can't be forced.

Just as he put away the spirit stones and left the pavilion with Youfu, he saw Youcai patrolling from the other side with his dog.

This group of patrol dogs is really dedicated to their duty.

...

At the Linhe County train station, upon hearing the train's whistle signaling its arrival, he immediately got up. He wasn't wearing any smoky makeup and was dressed normally.

When he's not being silly, he's actually quite good-looking. He took the earliest bullet train from Ming City today; he arrived in Qingmin by plane too late yesterday.

This time, he plans to rent a farmhouse in Shangyuan Village and live there long-term.

After all, he gained a lot of traffic from the Chen family, so he definitely had to continue, especially when the Chen family head used the Jade Bamboo Magic Flute he had confiscated to play "The Legend of Sword and Fairy," which really made him a lot of money selling the same flute.

After Liu Tianxian shared Chen Jiazhu Li Xiaoyao's video yesterday, he went to advertise, and overnight, many more people placed orders for his flutes.

From now on, wherever the Chen family head is, he will be there too.

In the abstract video, he is a demonic sorcerer who wants to kill the head of the Chen family; in reality, he is his own brother.

Just then, he heard the girl next to him, who had been chatting on her phone the whole way, suddenly say into her phone: "I'm taking the earliest train, and we're almost at Linhe County Station. After that, I'll go to Shangyuan Village first to pave the way. I'm going to make that beast Chen pay the price and let him know the consequences of abusing dogs."

"???" Mingdi subconsciously looked at the girl, and instantly, he smiled and said to her, "Beautiful lady, you also think that the Chen family head is a beast? I think so too!"
