Who gave you permission to tame beasts in the city?!

"Ping pong".

As the spatula continued to stir inside the large iron pot.

An adult husky with three "fires" on its forehead is busy working on its errands, wearing gloves and a colorful apron.

"Er Gouzi, is breakfast ready?"

"I don't understand why I, as a dog, should have to cook for you! Other people's dogs just lie around eating dog food, and some even bite their owners."

Er Gouzi, wearing a mask, was cursing and swearing.

"You're an adult dog now. You need to realize your value to be a meaningful dog to your owner. Be careful when cooking, don't let dog hair fall in. And wear your mask properly."

Inside the bedroom, Li Jinyan's languid voice rang out.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

"Shut up like that! Want to eat the latest version of aphrodisiac dog food?!"

Li Jinyan lazily got up, checked the time, and saw it was 9:30. It was indeed time to get up.

When Li Jinyan went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face, she didn't notice that the bathroom furnishings had become somewhat old-fashioned.

"System, when will you issue a quest to obtain the next Beast Taming Talisman?"

After opening his system, Li Jinyan asked expectantly.

"System task issued: Tonight, the host's mother, Li Jinrong, will be having her high school graduation party. Li Jinrong will be slashed on the face with a knife by her enemy, Li Xue, leaving her with a scar that will be difficult to repair for the rest of her life."

"Please save your mother and reveal your identity to her."

"Quest reward: One Beast Taming Talisman."

"What the hell? Is this crappy system broken?"

Li Jinyan cursed. His father had passed away last year, and his mother had died in an accident when he was a child. How was he supposed to complete this mission?

He took out his phone and suddenly realized that it had turned into an ancient Nokia.

Li Jinyan glanced at the time and her eyes widened!

"How is this possible? It's July 15th, 2000!"

"I've time-traveled! And I'm in human form!"

Li Jinyan opened the window and found that everything around her had changed.

The retro architecture and streets were a constant reminder to Li Jinyan that she had traveled through time!

"Mom isn't dead, and Dad isn't dead either..."

Li Jinyan murmured to herself, the image of her father, with his full head of white hair, on his hospital bed last year still vivid in her mind.

He knew that his father deeply loved his mother, so after his mother's unexpected death, his hair quickly turned white.

He was usually quiet and reserved, but he quietly did everything for himself in life, protecting himself from the wind and rain.

Every time Li Jinyan sees her father's tall and imposing figure, she feels a sense of security.

However, my father seemed to age much faster than others; his once-robust body slowly hunched over under the burdens of life.

That day, Dad couldn't hold on any longer; it seemed he had used up all the strength he had in his life.

In the hospital room, the father, who looked as old as sixty, held his son's hand and said, "Son, Dad doesn't talk much."

"Dad knows that you feel guilty because your life has been so ordinary."

"Actually, in my heart, whether you are mediocre or outstanding, you are my pride."

"My greatest pride in this life is having you as my son."

"As long as you are happy and joyful in your life, that's enough."

"Don't be sad, I'm going to find your mom..."

Dad closed his eyes.

"Dad! You can't leave..."

"etc……"

His father opened his eyes again, startling Li Jinyan and interrupting his grief.

"Dad still owes 800,000 yuan in online loans."

"From JD.com."

"Alipay."

"From WeBank's micro-loan service."

"I have money to spend."

"An Yi Hua's."

"You can borrow it without worry."

"Waaah... Are you asking me to pay off your debts, Dad?"

"Dad told you not to pay back a single penny. These people are loan sharks; that's money Dad makes selling credit reports. Dad doesn't owe them anything."

"Dad's money is all in the card we opened with your ID card before. The password is your mom's birthday."

"You absolutely must not... you absolutely must not inherit Dad's estate. It's all debt."

"If anyone tries to collect the debt, tell them to go to Dad's grave to ask for it. Dad will talk to them personally."

After giving his final words, Dad closed his eyes completely.

Li Jinyan: "..."

"Daddy, don't leave me, sob sob..."

"Dad, how did you manage to get loans from so many platforms at the same time? Waaaaah..."

This time, Dad finally died.

The passing of his mother and father were the darkest two days of his life.

Li Jinyan's vision gradually blurred. She never imagined that she would see her parents again.

Moreover, the parents are only 18 years old now, in the prime of their lives.

"Wow……"

Just as Li Jinyan was about to burst into tears, a large iron basin was slammed onto the table, forcing her to hold back her tears.

"Master, is it appropriate for you to have a dog like me cook for you?!"

"Where's my latest male enhancement dog food?! And the new suit you promised!"

"Woof! Woof woof!"

Er Gouzi's voice was full of resentment, but it still turned around and served Li Jinyan a bowl of rice.

"Er Gouzi, we've time-traveled! It's the year 2000 now!"

After Li Jinyan accepted the rice, she began to eat her breakfast. Er Gouzi consciously came behind Li Jinyan and picked up a fan to fan her.

"So, your latest dog food is out of the question!"

"Master, can't you come up with a decent reason to coax me? Are you trying to fool me like a dog?! Time travel? What a load of rubbish!"

"Do you think there's anything more ridiculous than a husky talking?"

"It seems...so it is."

Er Gouzi looked outside, rubbed his dog eyes, and then ran to the window.

"Woof woof woof!"

"Woof woof woof woof!"

Er Gouzi was very excited.

"Alright, you can eat with us. We won't be able to eat dog food for a while. You should cook some unsalted vegetables for yourself from now on, otherwise you'll have tear stains."

Er Gouzi: "..."

At this point, the system issues another task.

"Main quest issued: Reunite with your mother and help bring your parents together. Quest rewards: Unlimited Beast Taming Qualification and Mysterious Ability Gift Box."

"System notification: If the main mission fails, the host will be teleported back to the original timeline."

"What?!"

Li Jinyan was filled with fear. What difference was there between being transported back to that time and space without his parents and being killed? He never wanted to be an orphan again.

……

That evening, Li Jinyan took Er Gouzi to the alley where her mother's face was disfigured.

Er Gouzi put on a suit with a crotch sewn on by himself. In Er Gouzi's words, he was the only intelligent animal in the world, and he also cared about his image when he went out.

The little bell must be hidden well; you can't be as careless as some unintelligent dogs.

Standing in the alley, Li Jinyan's body trembled slightly.

He remembered that his mother was a very gentle woman. No matter how much he teased her, she would never get angry. She would just look at him gently. In his memory, his mother's smile was very sweet.

Until that accident...

My mother's smile will forever be etched in my memory.

Quietly, Er Gouzi and I waited. After more than ten minutes, a woman's voice, somewhat sarcastic and heavily intoxicated, rang out.

"Li Jinrong, why are you always going against me!"

"So what if your family is rich and you're pretty? What else is so great about you!"

"What do you want to do!"

Li Jinrong retreated into the alley, her beautiful eyes filled with terror as she was forced into it. Her classmate, Li Xue, had suddenly pulled out a knife while they were chatting.

Li Xue hated Li Jinrong to the core. Li Jinrong was beautiful and generous, and often treated Li Xue, who came from a poor family, to meals. But in Li Xue's eyes, this was an insult to her dignity.

If my family weren't so poor, I would never have accepted such humiliation!

Today, after confessing her feelings to Zhang Yichen and learning that Zhang Yichen only loves Li Jinrong, she completely broke down.

Looking at her aggressive deskmate, fear welled up in her eyes.

"Today I'm going to ruin your face, then let's see if Zhang Yichen still likes you!"

Li Jinyan, who was behind, learned exactly how her mother's disfigurement had happened.

Without hesitation, he took out the baseball bat he had prepared and ran to his mother.

"What do you want to do!"

Li Jinrong was on the verge of a breakdown; she was terrified.

"Get out of my way, this is none of your business, mind your own business!"

Li Xue's voice was hysterical, driven mad by jealousy. Why was Li Jinrong so beautiful, just like a celebrity, and even her deskmate? Without her, Zhang Yichen would definitely have accepted her confession.

"Er Gouzi!"

Er Gouzi, who had been lying in wait, sprinted off, leaped high, and flew into the air, kicking Li Xue hard in the waist with both of his hind legs.

Er Gouzi let out a strange cry, and Li Xue was kicked away, the dagger flying with it.

Sensing something was wrong, Li Xue got up, turned around, and ran away.

Li Jinrong rubbed her eyes. Was this a dog? It was just like a person.

She felt like she was on the verge of a breakdown, but thankfully, the guy in front of her seemed normal.

When she calmed down a bit, Li Jinyan hugged her mother's leg.

Feeling the familiar warmth, he could no longer control himself and burst into tears, making a clattering sound.

"Mom, I've finally found you! Waaah..."
