CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 54: GENERAL ZUO LUO!

Someone shouted loudly: "Eat it, that’s a meat bun!"

Another person said: "Throwing a meat bun at a dog, let’s see if it goes without returning."

Someone questioned: "A dog as big as a calf, is it still a dog?"

The brave ones looked at Black Stripe and secretly mused:

"I’ve heard black dog blood is a highly nourishing thing; such a large amount of black dog blood, wouldn’t it over-nourish someone to death? If I could sell a bit of black dog blood to those high officials and nobles with bodies hollowed out by wine and women, surely I’d make a fortune!"

Black Stripe vigilantly observed the surroundings.

Seeing those people pointing and talking but showing no intent to attack, its tense body slowly relaxed.

It cautiously approached the meat bun, carefully touched it with its nose, detected no danger, hesitated for a moment, then extended its crimson tongue and swallowed the bun.

As soon as the bun entered its mouth, an unprecedented taste exploded on its tongue’s taste buds.

Black Stripe’s body suddenly stiffened, its dog eyes instantly widened.

Children by the roadside saw this and clapped their hands in delight.

"He ate it; the big dog ate the bun!"

The one who threw the bun was a chubby woman wearing an apron.

Seeing Black Stripe eat the bun, she immediately shouted at the top of her lungs: "The meat buns from Third Lady Cao’s house, even lucky omens say they’re good!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a chorus of cheers erupted from the surrounding crowd.

Black Stripe was startled by Third Lady Cao’s loud voice.

Black Stripe was proud.

It thought Third Lady Cao was blaming it for eating the bun and wanted to return it to her.

However, regurgitating what had already been swallowed was not that easy.

It hesitated.

Black Stripe remembered what the mythical beasts did at the city gate before.

It bent its knees and knelt down towards Third Lady Cao.

And then bowed its head!

Boom!

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked!

"My god, this dog is so humanlike!"

"Nonsense, it’s a lucky omen!"

"Third Lady Cao is going to be prosperous; even a lucky omen is bowing to her!"

"Oh, why didn’t I think of feeding the lucky omen?"

Third Lady Cao looked at the lucky omen bowing to her, her hands nervously not knowing where to put them!

She waved her hand repeatedly at Black Stripe: "Master Omen, please don’t! I just gave you a meat bun, it’s not worthy of such a grand gift from you!"

Someone nearby couldn’t help but tease: "Third Lady Cao, you say ’please don’t,’ but your body is quite honest, your mouth is almost grinning to your ears. If you really think ’please don’t,’ why don’t you move aside? You stand there motionless, waiting for the lucky omen to bow to you!"

Third Lady Cao didn’t refute.

Then, she saw her husband grinning widely, and gave him a slap:

"You fool, still laughing there, hurry home and bring all the meat buns from the store to honor Master Omen!"

The man suddenly awoke, nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, I’m going right away!"

Finished speaking, he ran quickly towards his shop as if his feet were greased.

After bowing, Black Stripe saw the chubby woman full of smiles and immediately understood she didn’t intend to take back the bun.

By now, quick responders had already returned with things.

Slap!

A piece of raw meat dropped in front of Black Stripe.

Black Stripe was startled.

Seeing what lay before it, it turned towards the crowd.

In the crowd, a burly, bushy-bearded man was smiling broadly and saluting him with clasped fists.

Black Stripe sniffed the meat, it was fresh young beef.

Black Stripe’s mouth began to water.

There’s no such good stuff in the mountains and forests!

After hesitating, it swallowed the young beef in two mouthfuls.

Once practiced, twice skilled.

Black Stripe lost its earlier shyness, and skillfully knelt down to the bushy-bearded man and bowed its head.

The burly fat chef seeing this scene, suddenly shouted out loud.

"For fresh meat, find Wang Laoer, even Master Omen says it’s good after eating!"

Black Stripe was already accustomed to humans being startled and amazed.

It curled its lips, stood up from the ground, lifted its head high, and continued walking forward.

Compared to before, Black Stripe’s eyes were no longer flustered, walking on the bustling street, its demeanor was calm, no different from when it patrols its own territory.

Merely humans, nothing special!

With Third Lady Cao and Wang Laoer being the precedents, merchants doing business went wild.

A massive amount of goods were thrown toward the mythical beast group as if they were free.

The mythical beasts were hungry throughout the journey.

Though Zhao Yi previously fed them Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk, that stuff only stimulated potential for healing, it couldn’t fill them up.

Seeing a large amount of food rushing toward them now, they immediately buried their heads and feasted heartily.

However, they weren’t eating for free.

All the mythical beasts saw Black Stripe’s behavior just now.

They all imitated, after eating, knelt on the ground and bowed their heads to the host.

Dozens of mythical beasts knelt on the ground at the same time and bowed their heads.

The scene exploded directly!

"The golden-haired monkey omen ate my bananas, for preserved fruits come to the Plum Shop!"

"That red Plum Deer ate my fodder, the Old Horse Carriage Shop is the most professional in breeding livestock!"

"The white wolf’s fabric is from our Xu’s Cloth Shop!"

"You Xu’s Cloth Shop dare to shout too? That white wolf omen was almost killed by your stupid assistant just now!"

"Ah, ah, ah, the omens drank my rice wine, for sweet brew, find Lady Sun!"

As the mythical beasts kept bowing, more and more people gathered to watch the spectacle.

At first, only merchants competed to feed for publicity, then commoners joined in as well.

Tens of thousands of people fed at once, nearly starving those poor mythical beasts to death!

Finally, Marshal of the City Guard Army realized something was wrong and hurriedly deployed reserve soldiers to separate everyone and strictly prohibited anyone from feeding them anymore.
