“This is the underworld’s hellhound, after taming it, it can be used as a mount,” Bi Qingshen Jun suddenly jumped off, and pulled out an oil wrap and placed it in my arms.
As I sniffed the wrap, I realized that inside of it was the scent of fish, exactly the same scent as the one in my dream.
So Shifu actually helped make Miao Miao’s dream come true, but a happy dream was like that of a bubble, thus I decided to test to see if this was real or not. Using my paw, I hooked and grabbed my tail, placed it into my mouth, and then viciously bit down. Feeling the pain, I immediately jumped up, held my tail and called out ‘aiyooo’.
“What are you doing?” Bi Qingshen Jun was dumbfounded, and seeing that my tail was a tiny bit swollen, he quickly grabbed my tail and rubbed it, while complaining, “You were fine just now, why did you bite yourself?”
“Nothing, nothing, I just wanted to bite it…..” I replied, blushing.
“Grinding your teeth?” Bi Qingshen Jun suddenly became serious and asked.
“What?” I asked, puzzled.
Bi Qingshen Jun hesitantly replied, “In the past, when I read Yang Jian’s guide to raising beasts, it stated that some young animals would have a tendency to grind their teeth, you aren’t…..”
“No, no, only dogs grind their teeth, I grind my claws!” I became even more flushed, and kept shaking my head to hide my embarrassment. And upon seeing him lead the two-headed hellhound to a cage, I hastened to grabbed onto him and asked, “I’m not dreaming right, am I?”
“You’re not.” He rubbed my head as he answered.
“But, this and Miao Miao’s dream in the past are exactly the same, I always thought it was real, but when I woke up, there would always be nothing…..” I lowered my head and said, “Yin Zi said that I was just daydreaming…..”
“So you bit your tail?” Bi Qingshen Jun had an expression of someone who didn’t know whether or not to cry or to laugh.
I nodded my head with embarrassment, and held onto his hand, refusing to let go. Next to us, Xiaolin made a coughing sound to command the dispersal of the crowd and that they shouldn’t observe.
Bi Qingshen Jun gently clutched my shoulders as he guided the hellhound forward, and then quietly pledged to me, “I want to make all your dreams come true so you can have a carefree life and not have to face the ugliness and evil of this world. I want you to keep your innocent smile, and I want to protect you so that you are at your happiest everyday without any pretense of the mind.”
I slowly followed him forward, not understanding his words, I asked, “What are the ugliness and evil of this world? Is it hateful stuff?”
“In the heavenly realm, at Xuan Qing Palace, you will never have to see them.” Bi Qingshen Jun suddenly started to laugh, and appeared full of confidence, “Unless I die, I will never let you be hurt.”
“Then, unless I die, I will also not let you get hurt.” I reached my hand forward and carefully grabbed onto his, and made him a promise for a lifetime, “Together forever.”
Bi Qingshen Jun’s face became strangely pink, and as he was about to embrace me, suddenly came Haiyang’s cheerful voice, “Master Shen Jun! I’ve delivered the underworld’s hellhound, but where did it go?”
