Xero didn't think it was a good idea. It would have been fine if Drowsy Void was just an ordinary family dog, but its essence was the void God. Although its prowess was not as it used to be, it was dangerous.
He could clearly sense that Drowsy Void's aura was heavier than it was three weeks ago, which was most confirmation that it hadn't given up on its wolf life while it continued to struggle in its new body. Moreover, it was attempting to try and cultivate again.
It had been peaceful at No. 90 High School during the few days that Xero was participating in the four-day exchange; Drowsy Void hadn't taken his absence to cause mischief. From day to day in its new life via rebirth, it learned to be a dog, allowed students to pinch and squish his fluffy face and was even molested by Mr Birdie.
Drowsy Void was actually pretty popular in No. 90 High School, since a akita with a broken halo was rare and eye-catching. Its reputation didn't stop at Grand One 1-B, but had also spread to other classes. Every day, students from neighbouring classes, seniors, would come just to pet Drowsy Void. They would even bear food for him: bones, meat, and so on…
During this time, Drowsy Void learned a number of things. An example would be how efficient he's gotten in barking, and even its posture as it gnawed on a meat bone was even more dog like than it had used to be… looking at the situation from all aspects, Drowsy Void appeared to be working hard to cast aside his previous identity and blend into the communal life at No. 90 High School as it strode towards becoming a dog God after rebirth.
But being able to gain other students' trust did not automatically mean he got Xero's trust. In his opinion, Drowsy Void still had a number of things to learn before becoming a loyal dog. Whether it was him or the others that brought him home, he was still worried.
The class discussed this animatedly. Apart from five students who claimed they couldn't keep dogs at home, the remaining eighteen students in Grade One, 1-B all showed their zealous desire to take Drowsy Void in.
According to Han Jue, only people who are professionals in such a matter could keep dogs as pets. Xero certainly didn't doubt the professionalism of this martyr. If Drowsy Void was handed over to Han Jue's care, Xero would feel relatively assured, since Mr Birdie wasn't actually a normal budgie like parrot. It was a budgie who could even order its owner… so he reckoned that Drowsy Void would find it exciting if Han Jue took him home.
When it was time to make the final decision, Teacher Lu Shuang realized that she had greatly underestimated the weight of the position which Drowsy Void held in the students' hearts.
Seeing how heated the discussion progressed, she cleared her throat and said, "If you guys can't decide for yourselves, why not let Drowsy Void?"
After all, it wasn't an ordinary dog, this would be time to demonstrate its intellect.
Hearing Teacher Shuang's words, Drowsy Void stood up excitedly.
After being stifled in class for so long, it could finally go out!
An abundant world of temptation, adorable girls with above average boobs, and also dumbass… mosquitos! The mosquitoes of No. 90 High School were so skinny and tiny, and Drowsy Void had long wanted to look elsewhere.
But very quickly, the excitement on its face was snuffed up by Xero.
It had seen this look before.
Moreover, it was a look that cast the innermost depths of fear in its heart.
This was the legendary Godly Gaze from when Xero had attended the placement test at the start of the semester…
At last, Drowsy Void gloomily went to Xero's feet, its ears drooping as it obediently lay on the floor. It did not dare resist or do anything rash at all.
Mm, very prudent…
This could work…
Xero nodded in satisfaction.
…
After school was over, Xero found a quiet corner and took Drowsy Void in his arms, and in the blink of an eye, returned to the outskirts of the Zhang family's small villa.
Drowsy Void was stunned! What the hell!? What is this? Instant teleportation? One of the Four Thousand Spells, The Grand Instant Transportation Spell?
As a reborn void God, Drowsy Void still knew the basics. It was said that there were seven thousand ways of immeasurable strength, and that each of these so-called Seven Thousand Divine Holy Spells would lead to the final destination, the Heavenly Immortal Transcendent Spell.
However, there are other spells that correspond to celestial strength, like the Two Thousand Divine Holy Spells, Three Thousand Divine Holy Spells, and so on, till the final one, the Seven Thousand Divine Holy Spells.
The ancients claiming that it would take three hundred years to fully comprehend one of the Four Thousand Divine Holy Spells, two thousand years to cultivate it, and fifteen thousand years to fully understand and utilize it.
A sixteen-year-old youngster was actually capable of using it… Drowsy Void felt that three thousand years of cultivating was just chopped meat.
There was probably no one in the world who was more aware of the truth about Xero and how fearsome he was than Drowsy Void, since he had personally experienced his prowess eleven years ago. At just five years old, Xero had destroyed it, an all-powerful, millennial void God from the Nebula Galaxy World, with just his gaze, and now years later… he had clearly gotten even more powerful.
Drowsy Void couldn't help but feel a little remorseful as he thought about this, even if it was a void God. For the sake of its self-esteem, it had told himself that it should diligently and obediently work hard and advance; who knew, maybe there'd be a time to salvage his sincerity, but in front of Xero… it felt powerless.
Even more appallingly, as it was being held right now, the thought "Just don't cause trouble…" flashed through his mind.
Drowsy Void facepalmed. He felt as if his integrity as a void God had been tarnished.
When he opened the front door, he saw two unfamiliar men inside the house. Both of which were wearing a black suit and sunglasses, and one was carrying a suitcase. With just one look, Xero saw through the suitcase and realized that it had wads of cash that went up to two million yuan at least.
Father Zhang stood at the entrance hallway as he solemnly showed the two men in suits the door with an unpleased face. "Goodbye. Don't come back."
Looking at this scene, Xero knew that negotiations were over.
The two men in suits were startled as they saw a young boy holding a akita in front of them. "Who's this?"
"This is my son," Father Zhang said.
"Wow! He looks just like you!"
Xero: "…"
Hearing this, Father Zhang's lips twitched fiercely. "…" F**k! If he doesn't look like his father is he supposed to look like my asshole?!
Xero knew that the men in suits were abruptly trying to sugar-offer with him. Sure enough, one of the men in suits offered him a hand and introduced himself. "Hello. Handsome young man, We're from Willow Estate."
Willow Estate? After some careful recalling, he had remembered he heard that name on his TV… apparently, a… banking company?
He was holding Drowsy Void so he had no hands left. Seeing this, the man in a suit chuckled nervously and withdrew his hand. "So, as you can see… we have discussed this with your father. But it goes like this, our Willow Estate is very interested in the antique mask that was sent to this house a few days ago, and we are willing to purchase it for a high price. We are almost done with negotiations, and we came here with full eagerness…" At the word, "eagerness," the man didn't forget to shake the suitcase. "We'll give you two days to think it over, and we'll call again."
Then, the two men removed the shoe protectors on their leather shoes, bowed respectfully to Zhang Hua and Xero, and turned away to leave the villa.
Out of the corner of his eye, Xero gave the leather shoe a look… what the f**k! Just one pair alone is so expensive! It's enough to buy the whole custard bun snacks in the convenience store at Luminary City!
