"Do you even know what you're saying!?"
Ailiya was furious when she saw Su Cheng spouting nonsense. She pointed a finger at him and scolded, "Who are you trying to fool? Nobody would believe that!!"
If he had put in a little effort into his made-up story, she wouldn't have gotten so angry.
A dog quoting "Lament for Qu Yuan"?
What kind of joke is that!
It's just too much!
This is practically rubbing their intelligence into the ground!
Ailiya: [Intelligence 4.8]
Due to the severe insult to her brain at this moment, her intelligence increased by one point.
Just as she turned to look at Cornelia beside her, her expression froze, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Because she saw Cornelia, who was nodding thoughtfully, her mouth slightly open, muttering to herself, "I see. It's because it took my delivery before. So this is a form of repayment, huh?"
"Hey! Why would you believe such ridiculous nonsense? This doesn't make any sense at all! He's just playing with us!"
Ailiya looked at Cornelia in complete disbelief, then grabbed her by the shoulders and started shaking her, trying to wake her up, while angrily shouting at Su Cheng, "What kind of spell did you cast on Cornelia?!"
Su Cheng, hearing this, just innocently spread his hands, looking like he had no idea what Ailiya was talking about.
"Ah, Ailiya, stop shaking me, I'm going to get dizzy."
Cornelia covered her forehead with one hand and said, "Su Cheng really can understand what dogs say. And this dog is really smart!!"
Ailiya froze upon hearing this, then started shaking Cornelia even more violently: "Even if it's smart, it can't possibly be quoting classical literature while barking! It's a dog!! Can't you be a little more rational?"
"Su Cheng, hurry up and prove it to her!"
Cornelia turned to Su Cheng with a pleading look in her eyes, full of hope.
Because if the dog could just do a backflip, then Ailiya would never laugh at her again, and it would also prove that Su Cheng wasn't lying.
Su Cheng, softened by Cornelia's gaze, tentatively asked, "Are you sure?"
Cornelia nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes! Hurry up and show her!"
Ailiya, seeing the two of them like this, was so angry she wanted to bite Su Cheng.
But since Su Cheng was about to make the dog perform, she had to suppress her anger and said to Su Cheng, "Go ahead, let's see how you manage to get a dog to cooperate with you!"
Once reality hits, she could then scold Su Cheng properly, and maybe even Cornelia would see through Su Cheng's true nature and be disappointed in him!
"Since we're performing, let's go big this time."
Su Cheng nodded and continued, "But you need to promise me. Don't tell anyone. And this will be the last performance!"
"Stop dawdling and get on with it!"
Ailiya impatiently urged.
Su Cheng's hesitation made it obvious that he didn't know what to do next, which secretly delighted her.
Meanwhile, Cornelia was eagerly watching Su Cheng, very excited about what the dog might do.
"Alright, no matter how shocking it is, don't be surprised, and don't tell anyone."
Su Cheng spoke very seriously, as if he was about to make the dog perform something extraordinary.
"Got it, hurry up."
Seeing Su Cheng so serious, Cornelia became even more excited.
"Yeah, stop dragging it out. Let's see how shocking it can be!"
Ailiya, seeing Su Cheng start to stall, was so anxious she almost turned into a dog and bit him.
"Alright, I'm starting."
Su Cheng chuckled, made an 'ok' gesture with his right hand, then took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket.
"Of course, it's not a good thing. Carrying cigarettes around!"
Seeing this, Ailiya snorted coldly, looking at Su Cheng with a mocking expression, eager to see what tricks he had up his sleeve.
Cornelia, on the other hand, was blushing, her fists clenched tightly, her eyes glued to Su Cheng.
Su Cheng put a cigarette in the dog's mouth, lit it with his other hand, then slowly said, "Give me face."
The dog took a deep drag, exhaling a few wisps of smoke from its nose, then slowly raised its head and nodded.
Ailiya was a bit dumbfounded at this scene.
Why is it so skilled?!
But Cornelia was already used to it and eagerly awaited Su Cheng's command.
"Quickly, silently write down the 'Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng'."
After saying that, Su Cheng threw a colored pen and turned around, indicating that the dog could start performing.
"Quickly, silently write the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng..."
Even Cornelia was shocked, her eyes wide with disbelief.
"Su Cheng, are you out of your mind? Asking a dog to silently write the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng, and saying 'quickly'? This is too absurd! You're practically a joke. I can't even write it, and you're asking a dog to..."
Ailiya was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh, but her laughter stopped abruptly, replaced by horror.
Because she saw the most unbelievable scene of her life, one that kept replaying in her mind, unable to fade away.
The big yellow dog suddenly picked up the colored pen with its mouth, slowly walked to the corner, stood up, propped its front paws against the wall, and started writing on the wall with its mouth.
Her mind was now filled with only one thought.
"Is this fake?"
"How... how is this possible!!!"
Ailiya was in a trance, staring at the dog's crooked handwriting, her face getting paler and paler. She rubbed her eyes, trying to figure out if she was hallucinating or if this was really happening.
Cornelia was also standing there in shock, unable to move. Then she excitedly pointed at the poem on the wall, looking at Su Cheng, her voice trembling, "Su Cheng, you... you really... made this dog... do it?"
This scene was too terrifying.
Both of them couldn't believe their eyes.
"It's fake. It must be fake."
She shook her head, desperately denying it, unwilling to accept that Su Cheng really made a dog silently write the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng.
"What's so strange about it?"
Su Cheng looked at Ailiya, puzzled.
"No... it's impossible. How could a dog do that?"
Ailiya looked at Su Cheng as if she had seen a ghost.
Su Cheng pointed at the wall expressionlessly, saying, "Open your eyes and look. The truth is right in front of you!"

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on...
