The one who flew into a rage in the city was none other than His Majesty the King.

Before his personal guard Torres could explain, Sun Fei, upon hearing that Best was injured, instantly switched to [ Barbarian Mode ] and, without hesitating to consume mana, repeatedly used the Barbarian skill [ Leap ]. He flashed out of the Underground Grotto Labyrinth City in a few moments, making no attempt to conceal the ferocious power of a level 21 Barbarian, and flew back to the King's Palace.

What will happen at the royal palace?

How come my father-in-law Best, is injured?

What happened to Angela?

Boom!

Sun Fei was extremely anxious. He slammed his foot onto the stone steps in front of the palace. The huge stone steps beneath Sun Fei feet cracked like a spider around him, as if a meteor had fallen from the sky and crashed to the ground... This was the result of his failure to restrain and control his terrifying power.

The four small beasts on his body clung tightly to Sun Fei's clothes and hair, Shout in the midst of this high-speed race. Sun Fei did not pause at all, still using the skill [ Leap ]. His figure flashed again, leaving afterimages in the air, and he instantly arrived at the back garden of the palace.

There was a commotion coming from there.

"Who the hell dares to cause trouble in my palace?"

Enraged, Sun stormed inside like a whirlwind.

However, upon stepping into the back garden, the scene before him instantly froze him in place—

The future father-in-law Best, whose once meticulously styled black hair was now a tangled mess, with streaks of blood dripping from his arms, his chest heaving as he gasped for breath... But the old man's condition was far from bad, because he was committing a crime.

At this moment, the pale-faced Best had completely lost any semblance of his former elegant aristocratic demeanor.

He was barefoot, one shoe had flown off somewhere, and he clutched the other in his hand. As if he had seen his father's killer, he used the shoe as a weapon, roaring and frantically chasing after a large black horse that had appeared out of nowhere.

The handsome older man was indeed slightly injured.

However, Sun Fei immediately saw that it was just a minor superficial injury, nothing serious at all. Otherwise, why would this old white-faced man be so energetic and furious, chasing the black horse around the garden, running around like the wind?

Angela and the blonde Loli Jima were unharmed, and with a wry smile, they led their guards in pursuit of the handsome old man, trying their best to stop Best, who was in a berserk state.

However, the strength of the crazed old man still surprised many people. In addition, the guards did not dare to use too much force. This messenger, who had no martial arts skills, easily broke free from the 'flesh' formed by the guards and continued to chase the black horse.

"Uh... what... what exactly happened?"

Sun Fei felt a sense of relief, a black line cascading down his forehead like a waterfall. Just as he was about to ask a question, he saw the Big Black finally cornered by the handsome old man, Best, between the garden's artificial hill and the wall, with nowhere to escape. Seeing the old man approaching with a cold, murderous grin, the Big Black neighed—

"Woof woof woof... Waaah!!!"

"Damn it! "Sun Fei was startled. What was that? A dog barking? He almost thought he had misheard.

Even the four little creatures that had been clinging tightly to his shoulder—the White Owl Beast, the Wind-Winged Parrot Beast, the Little Fishing Cat, and the Two-Winged Golden-Furred Hou —suddenly stood on end, as if they had encountered great danger. The Little Fishing Cat hid itself in Sun Fei's hair, while the Golden-Furred Hou covered its eyes with its front paws.

Sun Fei took a closer look.

Oh, Buddha Amitabha! Good heavens, the beast cornered in the dark was no longer a Big Black, but an unbelievably Big Black. Its strong, powerful legs gripped the ground tightly, and sharp, white claws like scimitars protruded from its toes. Its massive body leaned backward like a giant bow drawn to its Full Moon, and a deep, threatening growl came from its throat. Its muscles bulged, exuding wild power.

For a moment, Sun Fei thought he had misread it again.

Too ferocious, too strong, too violent!

This doesn't look like a dog at all; it's clearly a ferocious beast from the depths of Hell... But who the hell can tell me why such a gigantic black dog, as big as a horse, would appear in my palace?

Sun Fei was still wondering when something even more astonishing happened—

But then he saw his father-in-law Best, completely unfazed by the menacing bared teeth of the enormous black Dread Beast. He charged forward fearlessly and began slapping the Big Black repeatedly on the head with his shoe...

The Big Black, which had been growling and threatening for so long with its hideous face, could have easily torn Best into three pieces with a single bite, but it didn't dare to retaliate in the slightest. Instead, it made a very human-like gesture of holding its head with its forepaws, whimpering and whimpering, its big eyes filled with grievance.

"You damned dog, bite me! You damned dog, bite me! You heartless bastard..." The old man smacked the ground with his shoe while muttering indignantly like a kindergarten child.

"Father..."

Angela, both amused and exasperated, led her guards aside and pulled Best aside.

Sun Fei felt completely bewildered.

Best was pulled away by the guards. The huge black dog was still covering its forehead, which was covered with shoe prints, with its forelegs. Its sly eyes darted around a few times before finally spotting Sun Fei standing in the distance.

Woof woof woof!

The Big Black barked excitedly a few times, then leaped into the air, transforming into a black Whirlwind, and rushed to Sun Fei in a flash. The beast was squatting on its hind legs, its tail wagging like a windmill, panting heavily. Its big, dark eyes were filled with a look of grievance and ingratiation, and its long pink tongue hung out. Like a child seeing its parents, it rubbed its head against Sun Fei's shoulder, almost licking Sun Fei's face with its long tongue.

The black dog cuddled for a while, then, as if it had gained the upper hand, squatted down beside Sun Fei and barked a few defiant barks at the still-angry old man Best, in the distance...

This is a classic case of bullying someone just because they have a powerful master!

Sun Fei's mouth gaped open in an "O" shape, almost reaching his earlobes.

God, Lord, Buddha, Heavenly Venerable, are you kidding me? What a human-like Big Black! It gives you the illusion that this beast has become a spirit, gained sentience, just like a living person, not an animal.

Sun Fei observed carefully.

The more I looked at this black dog, the more familiar it seemed.

Finally, he slapped his forehead and realized what had happened.

Damn, isn't this the stray dog Angela picked up from the back mountain? It's just suddenly grown countless times larger, so huge it's unbelievable. Even crouching or lying down, it's taller than Sun Fei, and standing on flat ground, it's at least two meters tall and about four meters long... Is this even a dog?

Sun Fei knew without a doubt that this was the result of giving it the [ Hulk Potion ].

It seems this lucky Big Black finally endured the excruciating pain of the drug's body-transforming effects and survived. Its body underwent an incredible transformation under the drug's tempering, and the magical mental fluctuations contained in the [ Hulk Potion ] also influenced the Big Black's soul, filling it with affection and loyalty towards Sun Fei. Otherwise, this beast would have previously bared its teeth and chased after Sun Fei relentlessly, causing chaos throughout the palace. How could it now be so affectionately squatting beside Sun Fei, its tail wagging like a windmill, obediently trying to please him?

Seeing the Big Black like this, the four small beasts on Sun Fei's body also reacted.

Perhaps driven by their natural instincts as natural enemies of cats and dogs, the chubby little fish cat's brown, spotted fur stood on end. It arched its body and stepped on Sun Fei's head, beginning its display of power. The Two-Winged Golden-Furred Hou black, shiny eyes darted around a few times before finally choosing to side with the little fish cat, revealing two bright white fangs and intense hostility in its small eyes. Meanwhile, the white- Owl Beast Wind-Winged Parrot Beast shamelessly betrayed their companions, circling left and right for a few moments before landing on the Big Black Big Black's shoulder, grooming its black fur with obsequious expressions.

What kind of beasts are these? They've all become sentient beings.

Wow, what beautiful kittens!

"Look, this kitten even has wings..."

Angela and the blonde Loli Jima also noticed Sun Fei's arrival. The two girls' eyes lit up, and they ran over enthusiastically and cheerfully. Sun Fei was overjoyed to see this, thinking to himself, "When did these two girls become so enthusiastic and unrestrained?" He chuckled and opened his arms for a sweet hug, but the two girls swept over like the wind, only taking away the fat fish cat and the Two-Winged Golden-Furred Hou from Sun Fei's body, completely ignoring Sun Fei.

Sun Fei's lips twitched.

The broad arms only grasped at thin air, then froze in mid-air...

Only the Two-Winged Golden-Furred Hou struggled desperately in the arms of the Loli little girl, Jima, rolling its eyes in dissatisfaction, as if to say, "Ah, you idiot, I'm not a cat, I'm the great magical beast Golden-Furred Hou... Golden-Furred Hou, you silly little girl, do you understand?"

One minute later.

A golden [ Battle Aura ] appeared and disappeared beneath his feet. Sun Fei's palm was completely enveloped in a ball of golden flames. He gently pressed it on his future father-in-law Best's arm. The flames shone brightly, and in just an instant, the two bloody marks on Best's forearm, which had been bitten by the Big Black dog, slowly disappeared without leaving any scars.

"You damned beast! I swear, from this day forward I will only eat dog meat!"

The handsome old man hadn't recovered from his anger; looking at the Big Black was like seeing his father's killer, and he cursed viciously.

It's so embarrassing to even think about it. A dignified messenger, second only to the emperor, was injured for the first time by his daughter's dog... If this kind of shameful thing got out, how could he maintain his dignity in front of his colleagues?

Best, who used to have a pale face, is now so angry that his face has turned black.

The issue of saving face can really be a matter of life and death!

At this point, Sun Fei finally understood what had happened.

It turned out that Best had finished organizing some recent administrative documents in the city and had painstakingly settled the various princes and Prince. He came to the palace to discuss with Sun Fei the matter of receiving Prince Modrić of the Kingdom of Kingdom of Lake, but Sun Fei was not in the palace. Instead, he met his daughter Angela. The old man rarely relaxed, so he spent some time chatting with his daughter and giving her some pointers on how to hold onto Alexander's heart. However, while playing with the large, sleeping dog in the back garden, the black dog suddenly woke up and, still half-asleep, grabbed Best's arm...

"Haha, Uncle Best, why are you Dou Qi with a beast!"

Sun Fei laughed so hard he almost fell over, making no attempt to hide his schadenfreude. He thought to himself, "Father-in-law, you'd better pray to the God of War to protect you from rabies, otherwise..."

The handsome older man lost face and flew into a rage, about to explode...

Just then, a guard rushed in and reported, "Your Majesty, Her Highness the Grand Princess of the Zenit Empire has sent someone to request an audience in the main hall."

Why?

That mysterious princess finally couldn't hold back any longer and came to invite me first?

Sun Fei felt a surge of joy.

At the same time, Best Wenyan, the future father-in-law beside him, stood up.

In that instant, Best suddenly seemed to undergo a Sun Wukong transformation, all his anger vanishing without a trace. Although he was still barefoot, his feet covered in mud, and his hair disheveled, his entire demeanor changed. He transformed into a refined and pure aristocrat, his manners extremely elegant, giving off a completely absurd feeling. He frowned in thought and said to Sun Fei, " Alexander, we should go see this Princess. There are less than three days until your investiture ceremony. Be careful not to offend a woman, or things will get complicated."

Sun Fei nodded.

Just as Sun Fei was about to step into the main hall, the Big Black blocked his way as if trying to please him, kneeling on its front paws and wagging its tail. Its appearance and expression suggested that Sun Fei on its back.

Everyone around was stunned.

To be fair, this Big Black surpasses ordinary horses in both size and strength, making it a suitable mount. However... the problem is that Sun Fei is the ruler of a nation, yet he rides a Big Black. What kind of person is that? A black dog rider?

However, Sun Fei did not hesitate.

He laughed and jumped onto the back of the Big Black. This beast was extremely supernatural and understood Sun Fei's intentions perfectly. It swaggered towards the main hall of the King with great momentum.

Sun Fei Sun Fei rode on its back just for fun, but gradually, his expression became serious. He had a strange feeling that he and the Big Black were completely in sync. The Big Black would instantly understand his every intention, whether it was running, jumping, sprinting, or suddenly stopping. The two seemed to be one, extremely agile and perfectly coordinated.

This is much easier than riding a horse.

This big dog seems like a perfect choice for a mount.

King Sun Fei's future mount was a ferocious-looking mongrel dog.
