"How about you take it with you?" Vermilion Bird asked.
"I can't even take care of myself, let alone raise a puppy."
WHINE! HISS!
It seemed to take offense at Ye Xiong calling it a puppy, but it quickly resumed tugging at his trousers.
This thing… can it actually understand human commands? Ye Xiong wondered.
"Do you want to come with me?" Ye Xiong suddenly asked.
The little animal nodded.
"Wag your tail," Ye Xiong commanded.
The little animal wagged its tail nonstop.
So adorable. Vermilion Bird nearly died of jealousy. Life is so unfair, she thought. Why didn't it latch onto me instead?
Ye Xiong's jaw dropped, and it took him a moment to process what had happened. I've struck it rich! I've really struck it rich!
