Bai Yuze sat calmly at the entrance, his mind gradually clearing, while Tuanzi took care of Sabre on the other side.
Seeing Sabre's expression of utter despondency, as if it hadn't bothered anyone, Tuanzi felt a pang of heartache.
She placed Sabre's favorite food near its mouth. Sabre blinked, then looked up at Tuanzi with an incredulous expression.
(Similar to 'Master, what do you do for a living?')
"No, sis! I'm in excruciating pain all over, do you think I can eat this?! And that scheming guy! I don't even want to talk about it, did he live up to the cover I provided for him?!"
After cursing, Sabre flopped back onto the sofa in a state of resignation, then suddenly realized something was wrong!
It turned to look at Yui Yuigahama and found that Yui Yuigahama's pupils were trembling!
"Sabre... you... you can talk?!"
"Huh? I'm not mute, how could I not talk? Hasn't it always been 'I try to understand you humans, but you never try to understand me?'"
"Gh-ghost!"
Tuanzi, startled, grabbed a nearby cushion, ready to strike Sabre. At the crucial moment, Bai Yuze grabbed Tuanzi's hand, saving Sabre from the blow!
Turning to look, Sabre, seeing Tuanzi attack it, instinctively tried to run, but its body was in too much pain, causing its four legs to flail independently!
The current situation was that Sabre was lying on its side on the sofa, its four legs paddling like a dog, even wrinkling the sofa, but its body remained in place.
"What's going on! Dead legs, run!!!"
Sabre tried everything, but it only intensified the pain in its body...
"Whoa! A talking dog! This could sell for a lot of money!"
Bai Yuze deliberately provoked Sabre. Upon hearing this, Sabre immediately stood up and cursed at Bai Yuze!
"Are you even human? How did you shapeshift, buddy? Teach me!"
"Xiao Ze... what's going on? Is Sabre controlled by a ghost again?"
Tuanzi asked worriedly. If something happened to Sabre, she would be sad for a long time!
"Sis... how can you be both worried about me and utterly merciless with your actions?"
Sabre glanced at the old pendulum clock on the table. It believed that if the clock wasn't so dirty, Yui Yuigahama would definitely grab it and hit it...
"It doesn't seem to be. It's likely that when the ghost controlled it, it gave it the ability to speak. Because the interruption was too quick, it retained the ability to speak."
Bai Yuze tentatively extended his hand towards Sabre. If Sabre showed any abnormal aggressive behavior, then Bai Yuze would show the other party what a 'merciless iron hand' was!
With Bai Yuze's current strength, he could literally tear Sabre in half, turning it into Sabrewaterfield...
Fortunately, although Sabre disliked the two of them, it still placed its paw in Bai Yuze's palm and licked Bai Yuze's hand.
"Brother Sabre, it looks like you're very disappointed in us."
Bai Yuze, having finally met a talking dog, naturally prepared to tease it, but suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"Don't go!"
Sabre suddenly spoke.
"Why?"
Bai Yuze knew it wasn't Yuigahama-ta at the door, but he still wanted to know how Sabre knew. By smell? But it was so far from the door now...
"If it were the owner returning, she would have spoken by now. The guy outside can't speak for now, because its ability to speak has transferred to me."
"Uh... if that's what you're saying... then if the ghost outside speaks, wouldn't it be..."
Before Bai Yuze could finish, a dog barked outside...
Bai Yuze and Yui Yuigahama exchanged glances. Bai Yuze's face was full of joy, while Tuanzi's face was full of surprise!
Afterward, through Bai Yuze's conversation with Sabre, Bai Yuze finally understood the principle.
Simply put, it's like the relationship between Mandarin and dialect. What humans speak is Mandarin. Sabre, as a representative of dialect (barking), can understand the Mandarin spoken by others.
However, because Sabre speaks a dialect (barking) and understands what it's saying, when it communicates with humans, it doesn't realize that humans can't understand its dialect (barking). This led to Sabre being able to understand human language, but humans couldn't understand Sabre's barks.
As for the ghost outside, it could hear what it was saying and thus thought it was speaking human language, but in reality, it was just barking...
"Wow! Sabre, you've helped us a lot!"
Tuanzi stroked Sabre, while Sabre lay on the sofa, staring at Tuanzi with a look of disappointment. Tuanzi was a bit puzzled by this.
"Sabre, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"What do you mean? Little master, I've created so many opportunities for the two of you, why are you so slow to catch on?!
And you! Are you even a male? Can't you be a little more direct?!"
Bai Yuze and Yui Yuigahama never imagined that they would be lectured by a dog in their lifetime, especially Bai Yuze! To be looked down upon by a dog!
"Sabre! Don't talk nonsense! What do you know?!"
Yui Yuigahama wanted to step forward and cover Sabre's mouth, but Sabre dodged out of the way first.
"Little master, what do you mean I don't know? This is all experience! It's all blood and tears!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuze thought, 'Oh, a master?' If he didn't smoke, he would have lit a cigarette for Sabre and let it tell its story in detail!
"Brother Dog has a story! Care to share?"
Using honorifics just to hear gossip? Hajizawa, you rascal!
Sabre sighed. Unbeknownst to them, background music started playing ~ Bai Yuze heard it! Woc ~ Yuan Hua!
"Back then, I was also a naive little dog, until I met the one in my life...
Her home was very far from here, so whenever the little master walked me, I would always go there to 'unload' and 'water,' even if I was uncomfortable, I'd try to hold it until I got there!"
After Sabre's reminder, Yui Yuigahama suddenly realized. No wonder Sabre sometimes walked so far without urinating. She had thought it was tired of walking, but it turned out it wouldn't 'relieve itself' until it saw the 'right one'!
"Really?! Then Sabre, you must have pursued her, right?"
Sabre didn't speak, but its silence was deafening...
"She would always stare at me through the window, and I would always express my love to her downstairs... Then one day, I climbed to a higher position to observe her more closely... And I saw her on an iron frame, with another dog biting her neck..."
Sabre's words silenced the two. Tuanzi was trying to understand what "iron frame" and "biting neck" meant, while Bai Yuze was fiercely pinching his thigh, trying his best not to laugh out loud...
