CHAPTER 55: CHAPTER 55: GIVE YOU A SLAP

Liu Wangda let out a cold laugh, "Because as long as one Flame Dog misbehaves, the rest of the Flame Dogs must be punished too."

Only this way can they be efficiently trained to obey.

It’s cruel, but it’s effective.

"Can’t we not use this?" Qian Qi played with the controller in her hand and couldn’t help but ask.

She was here to build a deep bond with the Flame Dogs, not to deepen mutual fear.

Liu Wangda glanced at Qian Qi, sighed, shook his head, and a disappointed expression appeared on his face, as if he had expected this, "You students are really too compassionate, even pitying a Magic Beast."

Especially the female students... this little girl looks like a tomboy, yet she’s also so indecisive.

"Do you know how many people Magic Beasts kill each year?" Liu Wangda’s tone was slightly impatient as he raised the electronic controller in his hand, pressing towards the Flame Dogs in the room, "You’d better get used to it early on; these brutes only obey when they’re in pain!"

With that, an extremely strong electric current drilled into the Flame Dogs, making them tremble in place with pain. Dozens of painful howls echoed back and forth throughout the floor, harrowing to hear.

Qian Qi watched the Flame Dog in the first room scream and tremble, her brow furrowing involuntarily.

This was her first Flame Dog interviewed, and naturally, her feelings could not be compared to the other Flame Dogs. Now, being tortured by Liu Wangda, she immediately pressed down on his wrist.

"Stop it." She halted Liu Wangda’s actions, "Turn it off."

Liu Wangda looked at Qian Qi in surprise, finding her attempt to seek death quite amusing, "I say, little student, you’d better follow the rules. If you get hurt or die, I will be held responsible."

Uncle Li had said it before—if a casualty incident happened, he had to pay compensation.

"So you’d better..." Liu Wangda hadn’t finished speaking when he saw Qian Qi put down the electronic controller and step into the room with cleaning tools.

Inside the room, upon seeing Qian Qi, the Flame Dog immediately crouched defensively.

Its pale yellow sharp fangs, due to the side effects of the electric current, were unconsciously drooling, making it appear more aggressive and dangerous.

But its butt was tightly against the wall, refusing to show itself.

Qian Qi couldn’t help but chuckle; she put down the mop and bucket and waved, "Come here."

The Flame Dog "roared," its sharp claws between the pads of its forelegs faintly visible, scraping noisily against the smooth floor, obviously not intending to listen to her.

"Alright, if you won’t come to me, I’ll come to you."

Qian Qi flexed her fingers, and the next moment, squatted her whole body, mimicking the Flame Dog by scraping her right foot against the floor, making a similar low growling sound.

Who can’t bark like a dog? She had kept many watchdogs in the orphanage in a past life, barking fiercely at her with bared fangs, yet in the end, they were scared off by her dog-like bark, tail between their legs?

However, the Flame Dog’s temper was much worse than an ordinary dog’s. Provoked by Qian Qi just like that, it immediately kicked hard with its hind legs, charging at Qian Qi!

Outside, Liu Wangda was startled; he didn’t expect Qian Qi to be so daring, ready to press the controller, but heard Qian Qi shout, "Brother Liu, don’t press the button!"

At the same time, she kicked the toilet filled with water at her feet, launching herself at the Flame Dog. The clear water flowed over the slick floor into the drain, making the entire surface slippery. Qian Qi slid backwards, gliding beneath the Flame Dog’s belly towards its hind legs.

The next second, she raised both hands, grabbed its two hind legs, and dragged them back with great Strength. This made the Flame Dog’s body lose balance and skid, its chin hitting the floor hard, splashing up countless water stains.

Qian Qi then leapt up like a monkey, took a few steps to climb onto the Flame Dog’s back, and raised her fist to smash against its trying-to-get-up back of the head with a big punch.

"Oww!" The Flame Dog howled in pain, almost tearing up.

It underestimated this caretaker—it turned out she’s D-level!

"Will you behave?" Qian Qi gently asked, gripping the Flame Dog’s neck with both hands.

"Grr..." The Flame Dog rolled its eyes, not out of speechlessness, but because of the lack of air from being choked, causing its eyeballs to roll up physiologically.

Its entire body twitched on the ground, struggling its legs aimlessly, trying to throw Qian Qi off, but Qian Qi refused to let go, even slamming her forehead into its back of the head.

While bashing, she yelled, "Will you behave? Will you behave? Will you behave!"

Liu Wangda, witnessing it all from the doorway, couldn’t help but swallow hard, feeling a touch of unexpected sympathy.

Damn, that’s too ruthless...

He initially thought the female student was overly compassionate, now realizing he misunderstood. This young student didn’t like using external tools; she preferred direct engagement!

"Little student, stop choking," Liu Wangda held onto the door’s vertical bars, looking longingly at Qian Qi and the Flame Dog inside, "Any more choking and it’ll die..."

He now understood that when Uncle Li mentioned casualty incidents, it was not about Qian Qi but the Flame Dog!

And a Flame Dog is very expensive. He could go bankrupt!!!

Upon hearing Liu Wangda’s plea, Qian Qi glanced at him before releasing her grip.

The Flame Dog lay on the ground, coughing miserably, as if trying to hack out its lungs, its whole body shivering, looking very pitiful.

Qian Qi bent down, observing the thoroughly beaten Flame Dog, and couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh, "Why do you do this? Just sitting nicely while I clean the room isn’t good?"

"I’m not even tasty." Qian Qi patted her meager arm, thinking of something, couldn’t help but give the Flame Dog a disdainful look, "You don’t love gnawing on bones like a dog, do you?"

Flame Dog: ...

The Flame Dog’s physiological breathing was smooth, but its psychological breathing was not.

It got up, intending to attack Qian Qi again.

Did Qian Qi tolerate that?

She directly gave it another big punch right on the face.

"Smack—" The Flame Dog’s vision blurred, almost giving it a concussion from Qian Qi’s punch.

Even with that, Qian Qi controlled her Strength; a sub E-level Magic Beast, if she used full force, she could have burst its head.

The Flame Dog had never been so humiliated.

This was different from being shocked; the outside food attacked it with a strange, terrifying object, while the shorter food before it attacked with its bare hands.

Beaten by such a tiny food, even with low intelligence, the Flame Dog still knew the feeling of grievance.

It curled its massive body into a small corner, started to whimper, crying from grievance, and from pain.

Seeing it behave, Qian Qi picked up the bucket and mop to start cleaning the room.

Once finished, she kicked the Flame Dog’s butt, gently saying, "Get up, clean your butt."

The Flame Dog didn’t move: "Grr..."

Qian Qi rolled up her sleeves, raised her small hand, and slapped its big rump "Smack!"

"Awwoooo—" The Flame Dog cried out in anguish, obediently lifting its rump.

The system couldn’t help but comment: "You have quite an odd quirk..."

Qian Qi: "No, I have even odder quirks."

System: "???"

Wait? Could it be the thing she made before coming—?

After cleaning the Flame Dog’s butt, Qian Qi gently patted its sorely battered back of the head, "Wait a moment, I prepared a gift for you."

She crawled out of the vertical bar door and from her bag, took out a giant hairless toothbrush she had just sculpted.

What?

You’re asking where the hair is?

Qian Qi lovingly stroked the Flame Dog’s fiery red fur, showing a charitable yet stingy smile.
