Chapter 89: Old Friends

"I have lived with Black Beauty for over a decade, but it wasn't until recently that I realized I didn't understand it at all," Jude said earnestly. "It possesses many virtues, loyalty and selflessness above all. Whenever I faced danger, it was always the first to throw itself into the fray, no matter how powerful the adversary, it never backed down."

"Indeed, dogs are humanity's most faithful friends," Li Yu said.

"For others, maybe, but to me, Black Beauty is more like a family member. Really, sometimes in the wilderness, when I look into its eyes, I feel like it has so much to say to me, as though it's about to speak."

"Then you should probably socialize more," the little maid interjected.

"Doctor Adelle said the same thing to me. Anyway, I want to understand Black Beauty's thoughts more deeply," Jude said. "To carry on its legacy, to live like it… to trust, to protect something precious."

"What is that precious thing?" Li Yu asked.
