The Mighty Cannot Bend!

Guoguo trembled as she reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone.

Then, on the verge of tears, he said, "Senior Doudou, my phone is broken. That lightning bolt just now blew it up."

My phone is broken, so I can't call my senior Shuhang.

Doudou: "..."

"Senior Doudou, what's going on here? Is it because we did something heinous?" the little monk asked worriedly, while silently reciting Buddhist scriptures to try to alleviate his guilt.

"I'm not worried about anything else," Doudou sighed softly. "I'm only worried that it might not be Song Shuhang chasing us back, but Venerable White ..."

"What will happen if Venerable White chases after us?" the little monk asked cautiously.

"People will die!" Doudou said with certainty—yes, people will die, not just dogs.

The little monk was immediately terrified. "What do we do then?"

"Don't panic. We can't be sure if it's Venerable White chasing us yet. Let's find a public phone and call Shuhang to confirm if it's Venerable White." Doudou said calmly, "If it is Venerable White chasing us..."

"Are we just going to surrender?" the young monk interjected.

"No, we'll call the Medicine Master again right away and reserve a bed with him. Then we'll rush over there and be admitted to the hospital with peace of mind," Doudou said in a deep voice.

The little monk swallowed hard. "Reserve a bed? Why don't we just surrender?"

"Hmph, as the ancients said: 'Wealth and honor cannot corrupt, poverty and hardship cannot sway, and power and force cannot subdue.' This is what makes a true man! No matter how powerful or fierce, I will never yield," Doudou said smugly.

So... even if it means going to the Medicine Master's to be hospitalized, you won't give up? Is running away from home really going to go this far? The little monk was completely confused.

"Let's find a place to make a phone call before Zhou Li catches up," Doudou said.

Then, it continued flying with the little monk, and finally, it saw the sign for a public telephone at a small shop.

"These days, it's really not easy to find a place where you can make a phone call." Doudou immediately landed next to the convenience store and went there with the little monk.

"Go make the call, and I'll send you Song Shuhang's number Secret Voice Transmission! Do you have any spare change?" Doudou said.

"There are still some." The little monk nodded.

A man and a dog arrived at the convenience store. The young monk put his palms together and said to the store owner, "Madam, I need to make a phone call."

"Oh my, what a cute little waiter!" the proprietress said with a smile. "Would you like me to dial the number for you?"

"Thank you, benefactor, this humble monk knows how to use it," the young monk replied.

After picking up the phone, he dialed the number that Doudou Secret Voice Transmission and called Song Shuhang.

Soon, a friendly voice from China Mobile came through the phone. "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off."

The little monk stiffly turned his head and said to Doudou, "Brother Shuhang, the phone is off."

Doudou: "..."

"Excuse me, madam, the call didn't go through," the young monk said, clasping his hands together in apology to the proprietress.

The proprietress was so charmed by the little monk that she bled.

"Why did Shuhang turn off his phone?" Doudou wondered, because Song Shuhang had learned the Charging Technique, so even if he ran out of power, he could just use it again.

As it was pondering, its expression suddenly changed, it turned its head to sniff, and then it was startled again.

Then, it immediately transmitted a message to the little monk. "Guoguo, let's hurry, I can feel Zhou Li's aura getting close. Zhou Li's behavior is a bit strange today, how did he catch up with me so quickly?"

The little monk quickly said goodbye to the landlady and ran away with Doudou.

******************************

Doudou carried the little monk on her back, soared into the air, and continued flying towards the capital.

"Senior Doudou... should we call Senior Medicine Master?" the little monk asked worriedly.

"Let's get some distance ahead of Zhou Li first!" Doudou replied.

As they were talking, Doudou suddenly stopped.

The next moment, Doudou's body shot straight upwards. Not only that, it also unleashed the four Wind-Fire Wheels -like magical artifacts on its feet.

The altitude increased rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it had climbed more than 100 meters!

"Senior Doudou?" the little monk asked, puzzled.

"Don't talk, Zhou Li is catching up." Doudou replied. He and Zhou Li had been fighting for years over running away from home, and they knew each other's methods all too well.

Just now, Zhou Li made his move!

Almost as Doudou rose into the air, a hooked chain appeared in the spot where it had been standing, coiling like a snake.

If Doudou hadn't suddenly increased her height, she would have been caught by this chain.

However, Doudou managed to dodge it in the end!

"Hehehe, Zhou Li, you're no good. So many years have passed, and you're still using the same trick. Your Heaven-Hiding Hook may be well-hidden, but I've already figured out the pattern. As long as I find even the slightest trace, I can easily dodge it. You're so naive, Zhou Li, can't you come up with something different?" Doudou said smugly.

"Hehehe, naive?" Suddenly, Zhou Li's voice came from above Doudou.

Then, another chain descended from the sky, this long chain transforming into a giant net that enveloped Doudou and the little monk.

Below, Zhou Li's 'Heaven-Hiding Hook' also rolled up, transforming into another net that came from below towards Doudou.

This is an inescapable trap!

"Damn, two Heaven-Hiding Hook!" Doudou exclaimed, its four Wind-Fire Wheels spinning rapidly, propelling it forward at full speed.

But... just as Doudou was rushing forward at high speed, a strong gust of wind suddenly appeared in front of her.

Although strong airflow has a negligible effect on Doudou's speed, sometimes, it's just that little bit of speed that makes all the difference.

The Cairo net, formed from the Heaven-Hiding Hook, completely trapped Doudou.

After covering it, two Heaven-Hiding Hook tightly bound Doudou's four legs. In the blink of an eye, Doudou was tied up like a dog dumpling.

The little monk on its back was also tightly bound.

"Damn it, I'm not having it!" Doudou roared. If it weren't for that sudden burst of strong air current, he would never have been caught by the Heaven-Hiding Hook.

Besides, how come there are two Heaven-Hiding Hook? Zhou Li has always only used one Heaven-Hiding Hook!

"Heh, not convinced?" Zhou Li's figure landed steadily in front of Doudou, stepping on the sword light. "The Heaven-Hiding Hook has always had two parts... it's just that my skills weren't good enough before, so I could only use one. I only recently mastered the technique for the second one. I'll use it on you to test it out."

Beside Zhou Li, the Demon Catchers girl was eyeing Doudou covetously.

"I refuse to accept this! If it weren't for that strong gust of air, how could you have caught me? Even if there were two more Heaven-Hiding Hook, you still wouldn't be able to catch me so easily!" Doudou said through gritted teeth.

"Hehe, no matter what you say... but now, I've got you!" Zhou Li took out a pipe from his pocket, lit the tobacco, and took a deep drag.

Doudou grinned angrily. "..."

Zhou Li took another deep drag on his cigarette, exhaling two long plumes of white smoke from his nostrils.

Yesterday, after being deceived by Doudou, Zhou Li had red eyes and vowed to fight Doudou to the death. But today, his behavior is even stranger than yesterday.

At this moment, Zhou Li was far too calm— Doudou had originally thought that Zhou Li would be furious and at least give her a good beating.

But Zhou Li showed no anger whatsoever; he was simply smoking silently. This only made Doudou more panicked.

This is the calm before the storm, the prelude to a volcanic eruption!

After a while.

Zhou Li exhaled two puffs of white smoke from his nostrils again, and finally spoke, "Doudou... let's forget about yesterday."

"????" A row of question marks immediately popped into Doudou's mind.

"Let's pretend yesterday never happened," Zhou Li said with an extremely melancholy tone. "Yesterday, you didn't tell me that 'Kissy' was your business. And I, from beginning to end, had no idea that you were my 'Kissy.' Let's just pretend yesterday never happened!"

"???" Doudou's mind grew even heavier with doubt. Forgive it, it's just a dog; sometimes it really can't understand human thought processes.

Zhou Li took another deep drag of his cigarette, this time exhaling smoke from both his nose and mouth simultaneously. "From now on, I'll continue chatting with 'Kissy' online. You don't need to worry about it, just continue playing the role of 'Kissy'."

At this point, Zhou Li's tone was almost heartbreaking.

"Uncle, don't cry." The Demon Catchers girl gently patted Zhou Li's back and comforted him in a childlike voice.

Her words of comfort made Zhou Li want to cry even more.

Doudou: "..."

It finally understood that Zhou Li had completely broken down.

What's even more terrifying is what Zhou Li just said!

Does Zhou Li mean he's going to harden his heart and start an online relationship with 'Doudou,' a male dog? Is not only species irrelevant, but even gender no longer an issue?

This makes the problem incredibly serious! Doudou feels her chastity is in danger!

If time could turn back, Doudou swears she would never have Zhou Li yesterday.

No, this mistake must be corrected.

Zhou Li's shattered worldview must be repaired by it!

"Zhou Li, you've misunderstood!" Doudou said seriously, "Yesterday, I was actually joking with you!"

"A joke?" Zhou Li turned his head, the smoke coming from his nostrils and mouth enveloping his entire face in a white haze, inexplicably giving off a terrifying feeling.

"Yes, I admit it was a terrible joke. But your 'Kissy' is a real person. I just secretly stole her account. Believe me!" Doudou felt she had never spoken so seriously in her entire life!
