The Lin family residence.
"Alright, sir. Please get plenty of rest over the next couple of days, drink lots of warm water, and you should be fine. Avoid alcohol and spicy food..."
A doctor put away the rabies vaccine syringe, not forgetting to remind him of the precautions. This was the last shot. Anyone who has been bitten by a dog knows that getting a rabies vaccine hurts even more than the dog bite itself.
A dog bite is just a brief moment of pain, and once it's over, there's no follow-up. The rabies vaccine is different. Having several centimeters of a syringe repeatedly jabbed into you is an unforgettable sensation—one that makes you wish you could travel back in time and bite the dog yourself.
"Okay, thank you for your trouble," Lin Tianxiong nodded to the medical team in front of him.
Looking at the fat, poop-yellow dog eating spicy sticks not far away, Lin Tianxiong seemed to think of something and waved his hand. "Wait a minute. Please prepare some vaccines and give my child's dog a shot too."
"Yes, sir, please wait a moment." The doctor followed the direction of Lin Tianxiong's finger and saw a mutt eating spicy sticks.
Wait... spicy sticks?
The doctor: "???"
"Sir, dogs cannot eat spicy sticks. Their bodies are different from humans, and they cannot metabolize the hormones inside. Eating them long-term will..."
After a barrage of professional explanations from the doctor, Lin Tianxiong frowned. He uncrossed his legs on the sofa, his eyes inexplicably turning a bit serious.
Of course, it wasn't that Lin Tianxiong wanted to feed Da Huang spicy sticks. It was just that Lin Tianxiong had seen Ye Cheng feeding Da Huang this way when he ate spicy sticks before. One person and one dog ate very happily, and Ye Cheng even asked if he wanted one.
In Lin Tianxiong's view, Ye Cheng shouldn't make such a rookie mistake. If this thing was harmful to Da Huang's body, Ye Cheng wouldn't feed it to him... Could it be that the kid was negligent?
Since there were professionals here, Lin Tianxiong was willing to listen to advice. He would mention it to Ye Cheng the next time he saw him.
As for now... well, Da Huang had already finished eating and was licking the plastic bag.
Lin Tianxiong: "..."
"Uh, does he need his stomach pumped for this?" Lin Tianxiong stayed silent for a moment before speaking.
The doctor nodded. "To be safe, sir, we recommend pumping its stomach. After all, it is the young lady's beloved dog."
Although... as a doctor, it was also his first time seeing the young lady's "beloved dog" looking so unique. At first glance, he thought it was just some country mutt.
However, since it was the dog raised by their young lady, it shouldn't be a simple mutt or a mixed breed. It must just look like a mutt. Yes, that had to be it.
Furthermore, Da Huang's eyes looked a bit too intelligent, which made the medical team believe that Da Huang was a dog of some premium bloodline they had never seen before. Otherwise, why would their young lady keep it?
Moreover, it had bitten their Boss Lin and was still sitting there eating spicy sticks as if nothing had happened. It clearly had a pure "bloodline."
It was a pity Ye Cheng wasn't here, otherwise he would definitely call these doctors idiots one by one.
Day in and day out, they loved to overthink things. Was there any possibility that Da Huang was just a plain old mutt?
Just to be safe, Lin Tianxiong felt it was necessary to pump its stomach. After all, his daughter had already acted so unreasonably by kidnapping someone else's beloved dog... wait, no, kidnapping someone else's brother. It would be bad if it got a stomachache.
Lin Tianxiong corrected his own thoughts here. Although it was a bit hard to understand, it was indeed the case. Da Huang and Ye Cheng called each other brothers. Although he didn't know how Ye Cheng managed to do such an absurd thing... it was indeed true.
Moreover, Da Huang wasn't an ordinary dog. He was a dog with some "special attributes," which brought up another matter...
"Alright, then let's pump its stomach." Lin Tianxiong nodded, and the matter was settled.
Then came the time to catch the dog.
"Ah!!!"
Ultimately, at the cost of five medical personnel, they successfully arrested Da Huang and injected him with anesthesia. The five medical workers each received a bite, happily earning the same rabies vaccine package as Lin Tianxiong.
Half an hour later.
The post-surgery Da Huang lay on the soft cushion again with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes. This time, Lin Tianxiong learned his lesson and did not step forward to check on Da Huang's condition, but stood far away to observe.
Another half hour passed before Lin Tianxiong mustered up the courage to put on a protective sleeve and poke Da Huang. The moment they made contact, almost the exact same scene played out again.
Da Huang suddenly sprang up and gave Lin Tianxiong a vicious bite, but this time... the texture felt a bit wrong.
Lin Tianxiong: "..."
Could this dog have learned from that kid to be so sneaky?
"It's me, Da Huang. Have you forgotten? I treated you to a meal before." Da Huang looked like he would rather die than let go. Left with no other choice, Lin Tianxiong tried a different approach to awaken Da Huang's reason.
This trick actually worked. Hearing Lin Tianxiong's voice, Da Huang stopped, and then... delivered a fierce headbutt attack to Lin Tianxiong!
Thud!
Dead center, right on Lin Tianxiong's forehead.
With a thud, Lin Tianxiong fell to the ground, accompanied by the butler's sharp, piercing scream from the side.
"Master!!!"
"Someone come quickly, the Master was beaten by a dog!!!" The butler's panicked voice rang through the house as he grabbed his phone to contact the security personnel.
"Just speak clearly, don't get emotional. Who beat up the Master? We'll be right there!" The bodyguard answering the phone was stunned for a moment and strictly criticized the butler. When reporting a situation, one shouldn't bring emotions into it, otherwise it could easily mislead the follow-up response.
The butler was dumbfounded. Watching Da Huang charging towards him, his voice grew even more agitated.
"Hurry, come quickly! It's true, the Master was beaten up by a dog!!!"
Bodyguard: "???"
Half a minute later, a group of security personnel rushed over. The room was in complete disarray, a fat poop-yellow dog was chasing the butler all over the house, and their Master was lying on the floor...
Everyone: "..."
...
At the academy, inside the President's villa.
When the time came, Dongfang Zhixia woke up punctually. She didn't even need an alarm clock to remind her, having already developed a fixed biological clock.
The first thing she did after getting up was to turn off the alarm clock, climb out of bed, and then... go take a shower.
Yes, take a shower.
Last night, she had that kind of dream again, and the details in the dream seemed to have become even more vivid. In the past, it was just a little bit of foreplay and then it ended, but yesterday, after the foreplay ended, there was...
Dongfang Zhixia, with her hair down, quietly climbed out of bed. Her bare feet stepped on the floor, and the cold sensation made her sober up quite a bit, but the blush on her stunningly beautiful face was still obvious, and her ears were burning.
"It is all that guy's fault!" Dongfang Zhixia gritted her teeth. She shot a glare toward the first floor, gave a cold snort, and grabbed her clothes to go take a shower.
Bang!
Splash!
The sound of running water echoed from the bathroom. At the same time, the little secretary opened her eyes. Her big, sparkling eyes peeked toward the bathroom.
Quietly, she fumbled around under the blankets until she found her phone and began watching her daily dose of brain-rot short videos.
She was studying this field very hard.!!!
The little secretary turned the volume all the way down and completely buried herself under the covers. From beneath the blankets, a faint sound could be heard.
"Ten thousand mosquitoes battling ten bottles of bug spray!"
"Hehe..." The little secretary's somewhat goofy giggle drifted from the giant lump of blankets on the bed.
First floor.
Ye Cheng was lying spread-eagle on the living room sofa, wrapped in his makeshift shroud of a blanket. On the coffee table next to him lay his cheap, run-of-the-mill smartphone with a battery that was almost completely dead.
Buzz buzz...
A vibration sounded. It was the first message of the morning, coming from a highly contradictory profile picture depicting Lin Daiyu uprooting a weeping willow.
"Classmate, classmate, are you there?"
"Are you there, classmate?"
"Can I discuss something with you? Pretty please, I am begging you~~~"
"The thing is, recently I..."

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
