The moment Wen Ning heard the word "acquaintance," his curiosity was thoroughly piqued.
He thought it over for a long while.
He only knew a handful of deities in the Heavenly Court.
"Are you sure he said he knew me?"
Wen Ning asked again, sounding a little skeptical.
Xiao Ya nodded firmly.
"He said you'd know who he was as soon as you saw him. He also said you'd definitely come."
Wen Ning raised an eyebrow. Now he was truly interested.
"All right, let's go. I'd like to see which acquaintance this is."
With that, he prepared to leave with Xiao Ya.
He had barely taken a step when a flurry of urgent barking came from behind him.
"Woof, woof, woof! Woof, woof, woof, woof!"
Wen Ning stopped and looked back. Big Yellow, who guarded the entrance, had rushed out at some point and was clamped onto his trouser leg.
Just moments ago, Big Yellow had been lounging in the sun by the door.
Now she was acting as though she had gone mad, all four paws braced firmly against the ground as she tugged backward on Wen Ning's trouser leg, her tail wagging nonstop.
Wen Ning looked down at her, stunned for a moment before he understood.
"You want to come too?"
Big Yellow loosened her grip and tilted her head up at him, her eyes shining like light bulbs and her tail wagging even harder.
Wen Ning knew this dog all too well.
Big Yellow took food very seriously.
Even he thought Xiong Batian's marinated pheasant smelled delicious, let alone Big Yellow.
Sure enough, now that she had the chance, Big Yellow wanted to come along.
Wen Ning chuckled and lifted his leg, gently shaking his trouser cuff.
"All right, all right, stop biting. I'll take you, okay?"
