Chapter 825: Chapter 402: Jiang Yi’s Dark History - Part 2

The little dog’s fur was as pure white as snow, soft and smooth like high-quality silk. Its big watery eyes stared timidly at Jiang Shouzhong, making it look extraordinarily adorable, like a little bundle that evoked tender affection.

Compared to the ferocious Heavenly Dog God from earlier, which exuded a terrifying aura with its savage and menacing demeanor, this was like two completely different beings.

"Is this the dog demon?"

Jiang Shouzhong frowned, his heart filled with doubt as he silently pondered.

Just moments ago, the Heavenly Dog God had seemed so strong and intimidating that people could hardly look at it directly. How did it suddenly turn into this tiny, cute little thing?

Suddenly, the Zodiac Map that he had been carrying seemed to react to something, emitting waves of heat and light.

"Dog?"

Jiang Shouzhong’s heart stirred, and a thought flashed through his mind.

He retrieved the Zodiac Map, and under the night sky, it glowed softly. The zodiac animals on the map seemed to come to life.

Especially the dog icon, which appeared to radiate a peculiar aura.

The little dog curled under a rock stared vigilantly at Jiang Shouzhong, its eyes flashing with a hint of aggressiveness.

As soon as Jiang Shouzhong extended his hand to catch it, the dog immediately acted as if provoked. It bared its still-growing baby teeth and opened its tiny mouth, barking out fiercely, "Woof woof woof!"

Though the sound was immature, it carried an unyielding ferocity.

Its stance suggested that it might pounce on Jiang Shouzhong at any moment and take a ruthless bite.

Jiang Shouzhong silently watched the dog’s snarling display for a few seconds.

Then, he punched it.

"Yipe~~"

The little dog let out a miserable yelp and rolled on the ground several times like a furry dumpling before barely steadying itself.

Its appearance became even more pitiful, and it whimpered softly now and then.

Jiang Shouzhong reached out to touch it, but the dog still snarled and growled, retaining its fierce demeanor.

Bang!

Another punch landed.

That wasn’t the end—Jiang Shouzhong followed up with a flurry of targeted punches, playfully nicknamed "heart-warming dumplings" and "fire dragon fruits."

After a while, the little dog was scooped into Jiang Shouzhong’s arms. Its gaze had become much clearer, and occasionally it even stuck out its tongue to lick Jiang Shouzhong’s chin, a sign of appeasement.

As the dog’s position on the Zodiac Map emitted a flash of light, the Heavenly Dog God in Jiang Shouzhong’s arms was drawn into the map, transforming into an intricate and lifelike image of a dog.

Jiang Shouzhong summoned it again, and the dog reappeared by his side.

"Hmm, not bad. From now on, your name will be Doggie."

Jiang Shouzhong looked at the obedient dog demon in front of him, nodding in satisfaction and flashing a slight smile.

The dog demon stuck out its tongue, rubbing its little head against Jiang Shouzhong’s feet incessantly.

Although there were eight animals on the Zodiac Map, only three could currently be summoned.

They were Niuniu, Mouse Mouse, and Doggie.

These three demons were personally captured by Jiang Shouzhong and placed into the Zodiac Map. The other five demons had been seized by Shangguan Yunjin when he was the map’s owner, but Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t summon them.

Jiang Shouzhong considered replacing the existing ones with new zodiac demons if he obtained them in the future.

If all twelve zodiac demons could be summoned, he would become nearly invincible.

"Let’s go."

Holding the little pet dog, Jiang Shouzhong headed toward the village.

The little dog behaved very well in his arms, occasionally poking its head out curiously to look at the surrounding scenery.

Before long, Jiang Shouzhong returned to the Pang Family’s courtyard.

As soon as he entered, he heard someone calling, "Uncle, Sister Jiang has woken up."

It was Hu, who had darted out of the house. His little face was full of excitement as he ran and shouted loudly.

Jiang Yi woke up?

Jiang Shouzhong’s face lit up. Without a second thought, he quickened his pace toward the house.

Walking inside, he saw Little Jiangyi sitting on the bed, holding a bowl of porridge in her hands and sipping it in small mouthfuls.

Her complexion was still somewhat tired, but compared to when she was unconscious earlier, she looked much better.

Next to her, the Pang Family member sat, engaging her in conversation, eliciting crisp laughter from the young girl now and then.

Seeing Jiang Shouzhong enter, Pang stood up immediately and asked with concern, "Brother Jiang, are you alright?"

Jiang Shouzhong shook his head and replied, "I’m fine."

He walked toward the bed, his expression complicated as he looked at Little Jiangyi.

Understanding the situation, Pang tactfully pulled Hu out of the room to give Jiang Shouzhong and Jiang Yi their privacy.

Jiang Shouzhong pulled out a chair and sat by the bed. His expression grew somewhat heavy as he began to speak: "Jiang Yi, this whole matter is strange. I can’t explain it all right now... Perhaps it’s related to the Nirvana Bone, which caused these odd occurrences. Once we return to Water Moon..."

"Papa."

Little Jiangyi’s crisp voice suddenly interrupted Jiang Shouzhong’s words.

"Cough cough cough..."

Jiang Shouzhong almost choked on his own saliva.

He widened his eyes and stared at her, even wondering if his ears were malfunctioning. Unable to hold back, he raised his voice and asked, "What did you call me?"

"Papa, of course."

Little Jiangyi continued smiling sweetly.

Jiang Shouzhong’s facial muscles twitched a few times. After a few seconds of silence, he tentatively asked, "You are Jiang Yi, right?"

"Of course."

Little Jiangyi nodded without hesitation.

Seeing this, Jiang Shouzhong gently touched her forehead, checking her temperature. His expression grew more peculiar as he muttered under his breath, "No fever..."

Then he looked back at Little Jiangyi with a hint of suspicion in his eyes: "Are you messing with me on purpose?"

But Little Jiangyi gazed at him with complete confusion. Her little head tilted slightly, and her watery eyes revealed nothing but puzzlement: "Papa, what are you talking about?"

Judging from her sincere expression, Jiang Shouzhong was utterly bewildered.

For a long moment, he stood frozen before snapping out of it. Clearing his throat and coughing nervously, he leaned in slightly and asked tentatively:

"Do you remember... Xia He and Qiuye?"

As he spoke, his eyes never left Little Jiangyi’s face, intent on catching even the faintest reaction.

"Xia He and Qiuye? Who are they?"

Little Jiangyi blinked her wide, watery eyes, her gaze filled with confusion and doubt.

Seeing Jiang Shouzhong staring at her intently, her little lips trembled as she managed to choke out, "Papa, I seem to have forgotten everything."

Jiang Shouzhong pressed his palm heavily against his forehead, rubbing it repeatedly, his brows furrowing deeper.

He let out a long sigh, feeling utterly at a loss.

What kind of mess was this?

Scratching his head, Jiang Shouzhong muttered incessantly, "How did she lose her memory out of nowhere? How did she revert to a child? God, are you playing tricks on me here?"

Just as Jiang Shouzhong felt his brain might explode, a cold, small hand gently grasped his arm.

Little Jiangyi was now looking at him with tearful eyes.

She clung tightly to Jiang Shouzhong’s arm, gently shaking it, and said in a trembling voice with a hint of sobbing, "Papa, did I make you angry?"

The girl looked utterly pitiful.

Jiang Shouzhong inhaled deeply, trying to calm his exasperated state of mind. He looked seriously at Little Jiangyi and said, "Jiang... uh, Jiang Yi, actually—"

"Wow, what an adorable little dog!"

Little Jiangyi’s tearful eyes suddenly lit up.

Her gaze bypassed Jiang Shouzhong and landed on the Heavenly Dog demon beside him.

Before Jiang Shouzhong could react, Little Jiangyi tossed aside her blanket, leapt out of bed barefoot, and quickly walked over to the dog, scooping it into her arms.

Eyes sparkling with delight, the little girl seemed to be holding a precious treasure as she buried her face in the dog’s furry body and gently patted its head.

Indeed, girls had a natural affinity for cute animals.

Little Jiangyi looked up at Jiang Shouzhong and sweetly asked, "Papa, is this your little dog?"

"Uh... it..."

"Papa, can you give it to me?"

Before Jiang Shouzhong could finish his sentence, Little Jiangyi had already wrapped herself around his arm, swaying side to side, pouting, and pleading in a soft, sugary voice, "Please, Papa."

Her adorable, coquettish demeanor left Jiang Shouzhong utterly speechless.

Well played; you’re fully embracing this daughter role without any hesitation.

Jiang, now completely defeated, could only sigh to himself.

As he gazed at the precocious Little Jiangyi, Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t help but feel amused.

He instinctively patted her head, thinking to himself, "Jiang Yi, oh Jiang Yi, this might become your most embarrassing moment. When your memory returns one day, don’t take it out on me."
