"This dog committed a mistake, so Yang Jian stripped him of his powers, reverted him to his original form, and banished him to the mortal realm to fend for himself!"
"Still, this dog's luck isn't too bad. When he was being chased for stealing food, he happened to run into me. So I simply kept him by my side!"
"When Yang Jian is in a better mood someday, he can come take this dog back!"
After hearing Qing Mo's explanation, Son Goku finally nodded in sudden realization!
Meanwhile, the Howling Sky Dog was hiding completely behind Qing Mo, not daring to show his face before Son Goku at all!
After all, eight hundred years ago, he had bitten the other man—and bitten him quite viciously!
Even when he had his powers, he had been no match for this monkey, much less now that he had been reverted to his original form and become an ordinary dog!
"Who would've thought the Howling Sky Dog would be so lucky? Even after being stripped of his powers and banished to the mortal realm, he still ran into a great god and gained his protection!"
Upon hearing Son Goku's words, the Howling Sky Dog, who had been hiding behind Qing Mo all this time, finally dared to slowly poke out his head and glance at him. Then he turned his canine face away, putting on an exceedingly smug look!
"I thought that after taking away those wandering ghosts, Great Sage, you would also bring those mortals who died such miserable deaths back to life!"
With not a trace of expression on his face, Qing Mo stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking around from side to side. His tone was utterly calm, without the slightest hint of joy, anger, sorrow, or delight!
