"It really is—the Heavenly Emperor!"
Cat Tree's eyes widened, and its entire body trembled. It was so terrified it nearly foamed at the mouth, not daring to take a single step forward. It stood rooted to the spot, as though scared senseless. Neither Lu Hao nor Heavenly Tree could bear to watch. Was that really necessary? It was already this frightened of the Heavenly Dog's Golden Body alone. If the Heavenly Dog revived, would it die of fright?
Even Gray Cat felt it was a disgrace to catkind. After all, it had planted this tree, but seeing its behavior now, Gray Cat almost wanted to disown it. It had just claimed it wasn't afraid, only to turn around and nearly wet itself. And it called that not being afraid...
Lu Hao did not linger at the entrance and walked inside. The palace's interior was rather bare, with nothing in it besides the Heavenly Dog's Golden Body. Lu Hao studied the Heavenly Dog's appearance. No wonder Gray Cat called Jiao Little Dog; the Heavenly Dog and Jiao did share some similarities. However, the Heavenly Dog lacked Jiao's single horn and leopard-like spots. Its fur was razor-sharp, each golden hair seeming capable of slicing the void apart. Its imposing, domineering presence made everyone who saw it instinctively want to submit and kneel. Lu Hao could also feel the aura radiating from the Heavenly Dog. An ordinary person would probably have trouble even approaching it, but neither Lu Hao nor Gray Cat was affected. Heavenly Tree and Cat Tree waited where they were while Lu Hao and Gray Cat approached the Heavenly Dog.
"Fierce Fierce, why hasn't Big Dog woken up yet? Big Dog seems trapped by its own Golden Body and all this stuff outside. It wants to escape, but it can't."
