Big White Sounds More Like a Dog

The Kui Niu beneath him suddenly snorted restlessly, pawing at the ground with its hooves. Its large bull eyes warily scanned the deep marsh beside them, letting out a low warning growl, "Young Master, there's something in the water! Smells like trouble!"

He would be Tongtian's mount in the future, making him "Master." Chen Song was naturally "Young Master."

Chen Song curiously leaned his head towards the water's surface. "Oh? Something dares to encroach on your territory, old bull?"

As soon as the words left his mouth!

"Gurgle, gurgle... Splash, splash--!"

A series of massive bubbles suddenly erupted from the center of the great marsh. Immediately after, an incredibly enormous, round, and fluffy white figure burst from the water, sending a spray of water everywhere!

That thing... it was roughly like a Samoyed magnified countless times?

Or perhaps a giant glutinous rice ball with four short legs and a tail wagging furiously?

Its fur was plastered wetly to its plump body, making it appear even more corpulent.

Its head was round, its eyes like two black beans embedded in the snow-white fur. A wet black nose twitched incessantly, its gaze locked dead onto... the pine nuts in Chen Song's hand!

It floated on the water's surface like a white mountain of flesh, emitting a sound that was both a whine and a threat, "Woof, woof..." Then, it actually spoke human language, its voice sounding a bit dopey and impatient.

"Woof! Little bro on the shore! What's that good stuff in your hand? Hurry and let White Lord have a taste! It smells so good!"

Chen Song: "..."

Kui Niu: "Moo?! What is this thing? It can talk too?"

Chen Song: ...Can't you talk too?

The white beast, calling itself "White Lord," twitched its nose. Its gaze shifted from the pine nuts to the Kui Niu, who had just eaten pine nuts and still emanated a faint spiritual energy and the fresh scent of pine. Its black bean eyes instantly gleamed with greed!

"Woof! This dark fella smells pretty good too! Little bro, if it doesn't work out, how about roasting him and giving me a leg? I'm not picky at all!"

What kind of creature dares to covet your Grandpa Bull?

Although the Kui Niu had been subdued by Chen Song, it was still a primordial beast. How could it tolerate such provocation from this unknown fat blob? Especially when it was being treated as food!

Seeing the Kui Niu's eyes about to spew fire, Chen Song, always eager to stir up trouble, took out a Ginseng Fruit and began to eat it.

"Go, Pikachu!"

"You damned fatty! How dare you bully your Grandpa Bull!" The Kui Niu instantly exploded, wind and thunder erupting around it. Its body rapidly expanded back to its combat form, its single leg entwined with dazzling lightning. It fiercely kicked towards the charging white meatball! The sound of wind and thunder boomed, full of power!

"Bang!"

The Kui Niu's lightning-charged hoof landed squarely on the white beast!

However, the expected scene of torn flesh and broken bones did not materialize.

The white beast's body was incredibly elastic, like an inflated ball. When struck by the Kui Niu's full-force kick, it merely caved in deeply, absorbing all the lightning energy within!

The next second!

"Burp~" The white beast let out a satisfied burp, a wisp of black smoke emerging from its mouth as its body suddenly sprang back!

"Whoosh--!"

A force even stronger than when it arrived rebounded! The Kui Niu felt an irresistible, immense power surge from its hoof.

With a cry, its massive body was directly flung backward, tracing a graceful arc through the air before crashing into the distant mountain forest with a "boom," flattening a large area of trees.

The white beast, meanwhile, returned to its original form.

Chen Song had already nimbly jumped aside when the white beast sent the Kui Niu flying, watching with wide-eyed astonishment.

"What the heck... what breed of Samoyed is this? It even has physical reflection? A bouncy meatball? And such a foul mouth?"

Having landed a successful blow, the white beast proudly swayed its round body on the water's surface, emitting "whimper, whimper" laughter.

Then, it turned its gaze back to Chen Song... and the Ginseng Fruit in his hand. Its black bean eyes were filled with longing, its tail wagging like a propeller, splashing countless water droplets. It seemed to have completely forgotten its earlier intention to eat the bull.

"Woof! Little bro! Don't just stand there! Whoever sees it gets a share! Hurry and give White Lord some of that fragrant stuff!"

Chen Song looked at this abstract and foul-mouthed creature, then at the Kui Niu struggling to get up from the distant forest, covered in dirt and looking utterly wronged and indignant. He found it incredibly amusing.

"Alright, alright, so that's how we're playing? Attacking my bull, and still eyeing my snacks? And such a foul mouth?"

Chen Song twisted his neck, revealing a "friendly" smile.

"Looks like I need to let you know who the real snack king and language tutor of this area is!"

He decided to take action himself.

Seeing that Chen Song had no intention of willingly handing over his snacks and was instead walking towards it, the white beast became displeased.

It let out another threatening "woof, woof," took a deep breath, and its already round body swelled even more exaggeratedly. Then, it spat forcefully!

"Pfft--!"

A thick stream of water mixed with the undigested lightning energy it had just swallowed shot towards Chen Song like a high-pressure water cannon!

"Five-Colored Divine Light, Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor!" Chen Song calmly unfurled the Five Elements Illusory Spirit Fan. With a gentle wave, a water-attribute barrier shimmering with five-colored light appeared before him.

The potent water-lightning hybrid blast struck the five-colored water curtain. It merely caused the light to ripple before being easily assimilated and absorbed, even enhancing the barrier's power.

"Is that all?" Chen Song raised an eyebrow, preparing to use a more potent method to teach this gluttonous fat ball a lesson.

However, he saw the white beast pause in surprise when its attack failed, its black bean eyes blinking.

It didn't continue its attack. Instead, it did something that made Chen Song want to facepalm—

It suddenly flopped into the water, its round body floating on the surface. Then, using all four limbs, it began to paddle furiously towards Chen Song like a giant white caterpillar, doggy-paddling!

As it paddled, it let out incredibly pathetic whimpers, its voice booming:

"Wuwuwu! I can't win! Big brother! Your Highness! Ancestor! I was wrong! My mouth is cursed! I have no eyes to recognize true greatness!"

"Hungry! Hungry! Food! Wuwuwu... Please give me something to eat! Just one bite! Just one bite!"

"This Grandpa Bai... Ah, no! This Little White will be your doggy! I promise I'll be more useful than that stupid ox! I can doggy-paddle! I can wag my tail! I can herd cattle too!"

"Woof! Woof woof!"

Kui Niu: ???

Actually, the white ball had been thinking, What's the point of fighting anymore? My skill level is about the same as that stupid ox. But I've got sharp eyes. The moment Chen Song made his move, I knew he was way stronger than me. So, I decided to surrender without hesitation and latch onto his leg.

The final "woof woof"s were filled with genuine emotion and utterly devoid of dignity.

Chen Song: "..."

Kui Niu, who had just crawled back from the woods, was so angry its nostrils were practically crooked: "Pah! Shameless fatty! Who are you calling a stupid ox?! Young master, don't believe it! This thing doesn't look like a good dog at all!"

Chen Song almost dropped the Five Elements Illusory Spirit Fan in his hand. He looked at the bizarre beast in front of him, which was doggy-paddling and crying for food while simultaneously spewing insults and putting down the ox. His entire Great Wilderness worldview had been severely shaken.

This thing... had absolutely no bottom line?! And its mouth was so quick!

Is this thing going to take the postgraduate entrance exam?

But for some reason, looking at its adorably stupid (mentally challenged) appearance and its completely guilt-free pleas for mercy, the anger Chen Song felt instantly dissipated. Instead, he found the creature to be a veritable source of joy.

He suppressed a smile and deliberately put on a stern face: "Want to eat?"

The white beast nodded frantically, its doggy-paddle becoming even faster, splashing water everywhere: "Yes! Yes! Woof! Big brother, you're my real big brother!"

"Follow me, and you'll have all the snacks you want from now on. But you have to follow the rules. No more badmouthing the old ox, understand?" Chen Song laid out his terms.

"All I want? Woof! As long as it's enough! I understand the rules! Whatever big brother says goes! From now on, Little White will be your most loyal lackey! Woof woof!" The white beast agreed without hesitation. What was dignity? Could it be eaten? Did it smell like pine nuts?

Chen Song's mouth twitched: "Little White? Weren't you Grandpa Bai just a moment ago?"

"No, no, I dare not! In front of big brother, there is only Little White! Woof woof!" The white beast tried hard to climb ashore, but because it was too fat, it took several tries before succeeding.

After getting ashore, it quickly shrank, transforming into the size of a normal dog.

It shook the water off its body and trotted to Chen Song's feet, rubbing its huge, wet head affectionately against Chen Song's leg, leaving a large wet patch. Its tail wagged furiously, and it kept saying, "Big brother is mighty! Big brother is awesome! Big brother, please give me some food!"

Chen Song waved his hand, and a handful of pine nuts went into the dog's mouth. Little White munched on them with great relish, making the Kui Niu beside them incredibly envious.

Kui Niu, watching this spineless creature beg for food by acting cute and talking its way out of trouble, snorted dismissively. But there was a hint of envy in its eyes—it had just taken a beating before surrendering! And this fatty managed to succeed through sheer shamelessness?

Chen Song didn't play favorites and tossed a handful of nuts into the ox's mouth as well.

"I don't think the name Little White suits you," Chen Song said, looking at the... Samoyed that was happily eating. He pondered.

"Then whatever you say, boss, I'll go by, woof!"

"Let's call you Big White. It sounds more like a dog."

Big White: ...

Never mind, Big White it is. Who am I to argue with the boss?
