Dwun, Why the Hell Did You Tease It?

Bai Zhu's neck gradually stiffened.

That little puppy was lying right beside his hand.

It was palm-sized and fluffy, its tail wagging happily. It had copied them by bracing its front paws against the bushes, its little head poking toward the village.

It was taking its imitation quite seriously.
