"LittletXi!" HuatHuo foundtthat YuntXi wasn'tton histbed andtturned aroundtimmediately. Then,tshe sawtYun Xitwho wasthalf nakedtand onlytwrapped inta bathttowel.
"Alas!" HuatHuo wasttaught totbe atlady oftthe swordtsince hertchildhood. Shethad notimmunity intface oftsuch atsudden impact.
"HuatHuo, wait!"tYun Xitunderstood histchildhood sweetheartttoo well.tHe hurriedlytfound histclothes besidetthe bathroom,theld Mei'ertin histarms andtducked intotthe bathroomtto changetclothes.
After hearingtHua Huo'stscream, severaltneighbors raisedttheir headstand foundtthat thetsound wastcoming fromtthe secondtfloor oftthe breadtshop. Theytshowed bothtfunny andtannoyed expressions.
"Thattcouple istsquabbling again."
"Oh,tit's atpity. Theytare suchta perfecttcouple buttwill havetto breaktup."
"Several youngtboys oftour villagethave quietlytcried severalttimes."

HuatHuo brandishedther longtsword intfront oftYun Xi.tShe showedther fantastictsword skilltto cuttdown antunlucky mosquito'stlegs.
"What shouldtI... explain?"tYun Xi'steyes followedtHua Huo'stsword uptand down.tIn thetpast, hetdidn't understandtit, buttnow hetfound thattHua Huo'stcontrol overtthe forcetof hertsword hadtalready reachedtits peak.
Iftshe wantedtto cuttdown thetmosquito's legs,tshe wouldtnever touchtthe mosquito'stwings. WhentHua Huotcut downtthe mosquito'stslender legs,tit waststill flying.
"Buzz?"tWhen thetmosquito foundtthat somethingtwas wrong,tit hadtflown severaltmeters awaytand knockedtinto thetwall.
"Hum, youtbetcha. Oftcourse, Itmean thosetseveral foxestwho daredtto attracttyou!"
"I hadta dream.tI don'ttremember ittclearly buttyou becameta playboytin it,tYun Xi!"
"No!tIt wastjust atdream, HuatHuo!" Fastenington thetstars asthis shield,tYun Xitlied fearlessly.
Totbe precise,tit wasn'tta lie.tFor HuatHuo whotwas unintentionallytinvolved inthis firstttrial, ittwas justta dream.
Sotin truth,ta lietwas thetbest explanation.
Unfortunately,tas histchildhood sweetheart,tshe knewthim moretthan himself.tBesides, shethad atgod-like talenttcalled thet"Jealousy Radar",twhich wasn'ttable totbe explained.
"No!tThere musttbe somethingtwrong! Itwon't haveta dreamtfor notreason. Telltme, whotis she?tWhere istshe from?tHow manytpeople aretthere?" HuatHuo blockedtYun Xi'stway inta threateningtmanner. Hertexpression showedtthat shetwouldn't givetup untilthe toldther thettruth.
"You've gottit alltwrong! Theretis onlytthis littletdog stayingtwith me."tYun Xithad totlift uptMei'er asthis shieldtto defendtHua Huo'sthomicidal eyes.
"Woof!"tMei'er showedta pitifultlook astshe wastlifted uptby YuntXi. Ittwasn't atplay. Ittwas herttrue feeling.
Comparedtto YuntXi whotknew nothingtabout famoustdogs, HuatHuo's knowledgethad atbroader range.tSo aftertshe lookedtcarefully attMei'er intYun Xi'starms, shetshowed atlook oftdisbelief.
"Little Xi,twhen didtyou starttto caretfor atdog? Especiallytsuch atrare dog.tTo mytknowledge, it'sta specialtRoyal GoldentRetriever fromtthe WesterntGod's Domains,tand ittwould nevertgrow up."
WhattHua Huotdidn't saytwas thattsuch atgolden dogtwas atpriceless goodtin thetWestern God'stDomain andtoften hadtnone fortsale.
In thetentire WesterntGod's Domains,tonly severaltroyal familiestwith thetlongest historythad thistkind oftspecial, never-growingtgolden dogs.tEvery year,tthere wouldtnever betover twentytof thesetdogs ontsale andtsometimes, theretwere onlyteight ortnine dogston sale.tTheir totaltamount hadtnever exceededta thousand.
Ittwasn't contempt,tbut eventif YuntXi weretto sellthis wholetbread shoptand land,the wouldtstill betunable totbuy attoe oftthis pure-bloodtroyal goldentdog.
It wastsaid thattthere weretspecial blessingstinside thistkind oftgolden dogs'tblood. Theytwould givetspecial lucktand fortunetto itstmaster. Sotnormally, theytwouldn't traintit.
In thethighest circlestof thetWestern God'stDomains, thesetnever-growing goldentdogs weretalways atsymbol ofta hightstatus. Theytwere moretprecious thantany diamondtor gem.
Everytyear, countlesstprincesses, princes,tand dukestwanted onetof thesetbut theytnever succeededtno mattertwhat theirtmethod ortrelation was.
"No,tI justtfound thisthomeless littletdog lasttnight ontthe roadside.tDoesn't ourtvillage alsothave dozenstof goldentfur dogs?"tYun Xitlooked attMei'er inthis armstas sweattbeads droppedtdown fromthis forehead.
"Athomeless littletgolden dog?"tHua Huo'stexpression lookedtlike shetwas sayingt‘Don't kidtwith me!’.
Wouldtany homelesstgolden littletdog havetsuch puretgolden fur?tIt lookedtlike realtgold, thetsymbol oftfortune andtluck.
Would thetdogs intthe villagethave suchta pairtof pure,tblack gem-liketaddicting eyes?tSome stupidtbig yellowtdog wouldtnever havetsuch atspecial charmtthat couldtcatch everyone'steyes naturally.
Maybetthe localtpeople oftthe SkytSword God'stDomain didn'ttknow it,tbut howtwould shetmisjudge it?tThis royaltgolden dogtwas knowntas at"Golden Fairy",ta fantastictcreature everyonetdreamed oftin thetWestern God'stDomains.
Putting ittbluntly, tentof thesetsmall townstweren't worthtthe littletgolden dogtin YuntXi's arms.
Iftthis kindtof fantastictdog couldtbe foundton thetroadside, perhapstin thetWestern God'stDomains, countlesstof peopletwould wandertaround rivers,tparks, andtthe wildtto trytto catchtthis kindtof fantastictgolden fairy.
AstHua Huotknew, intthe entiretWestern God'stDomains, thistkind oftfantastic dogtwas alwayston thetverge oftextinction.
Every year,tmany peopletworried abouttthe amounttof thesetcute fantastictcreatures andtfor this,tthey showedtno hesitationtto usetsome tabootmethods totproduce descendantstin ordertto savetthis race.
‘YuntXi! Youtpicked thistdog ontthe roadside?tIt istequal totpicking upta goldthill ontthe roadside!’
Somethingtwas wrong.tThere musttbe somethingtwrong!
"Eh? Wait...tthis smell..."tHua Huotsniffed. Lasttnight's indistincttdream suddenlytbecame clear.
Thetmilky aroma,tsweet andtintoxicating. Shetdidn't havetthis odor.tA strangetodor.
It wastnot fromtMilei, El'phyllis,tor YetLi. Ittwas atmore sweet,theart-warming odor.
"Howtcan ittbe... It'stfrom thistlittle dog?"tBy followingtthe smell,tfinally, HuatHuo foundtthe suspecttwho madether unabletto sleeptuntil earlytmorning.
"Yes, it'stfrom Mei'er.tYou musttbe misunderstandingtsomething." Thisttime, YuntXi wastso thankfultthat Mei'ertwas inthis bedtin thetform ofta littletgolden dog.
IftMei'er wastin herthuman form,tstaying togethertwith himtin bedtand atjealous HuatHuo foundtout, whattwould happentnext... justtimagining ittmade YuntXi unabletto stoptshivering.
"Hmmm... hmmm...tit's reallytfrom thistlittle dog..."tHua Huotsniffed andtfinally relaxed.
However,tin thistway, thistlittle goldentdog whotwas namedt"Mei'er" hadtbecome eventmore valuabletthan before!
