Chapter 39: Chapter 39 It’s More Like the Dog Walking Me

"Side job?"

Liu Zheng looked at him in surprise.

"I’m very busy today, so could you take Tendaros out for some exercise?"

the small man said.

At the mention of "going out," the hound’s somewhat dull eyes brightened.

"Uh, I’m afraid I’m not competent enough for that."

Liu Zheng tactfully refused.

He walk this dog?

It would be more like the dog walking him.

"Don’t worry, Tendaros is very well-behaved."

The small man gently stroked the hound’s paw.

Tendaros whined softly and carefully licked his face with his tongue.

"After all, I’m not its owner."

Liu Zheng still shook his head.

Every owner thinks their dog is well-behaved, even if it bites someone, there’s a reason.

"I can give you a thousand bucks."

The small man said.

"I’m not short of money."

Liu Zheng showed his wallet.

"You’re this rich and still delivering takeout?"

The small man was somewhat shocked.

"Experiencing life. Even with money, one must work."

His face bore a look of commiseration for the world.

"I see my vision was too small. Sorry, I shouldn’t have tried to insult you with money."

The small man felt deeply ashamed.

"It’s okay, I also did some things wrong just now."

Liu Zheng said generously.

"But, I still need you to help walk my dog."

The small man changed his tone.

You stubborn guy, oil and salt don’t penetrate, huh?

He glared at the riddle man.

If you want to give the dog an extra meal, just say it directly, no need to beat around the bush.

"As long as you carry this, Tendaros and its kin won’t attack you."

The small man struggled to pull a bone whistle from under a blanket.

"Name: Misisa’s Bone Whistle"

"Type: Item"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: Wearing it prevents attacks from Tendaros Hounds, may shatter after operation time or when traveling through time and space."

"Note: How to protect yourself in front of a Tendaros Hound? A: Throw a bone. B: Bend down to pick up a stone. C: Blunt angle."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: No"

"Fine."

Liu Zheng reluctantly took the bone whistle.

It seems this dog really needed to be walked.

"Thank you very much."

The small man glanced again at his medal for honorable homeowner.

"Tendaros is very generous toward those it likes."

He hinted.

"So how can I make it like me?"

"Tendaros is a good dog."

The small man said meaningfully, then shut the door.

Watching the hound that kept staring at him, Liu Zheng felt uneasy.

He quickly hung the bone whistle around his neck, which made him feel slightly better.

Whether it was an illusion or not, he thought he saw a trace of disdain in Tendaros’s expression.

"So, shall we go?"

Liu Zheng tentatively asked.

"Wow~"

With a howl like a cheer, the hound dashed downstairs.

"Hey, the elevator is over there."

He sighed and quickly chased after it.

The hound’s speed was astonishing—by the time Liu Zheng reached the entrance of the complex, it was already sitting there waiting for him.

The guard with the triangular eyes cowered off to one side, looking a bit afraid of it.

"The owner of 1503 asked me to walk his dog."

Liu Zheng explained.

"Got it, got it. Just go."

The guard quickly answered, showing no interest in making small talk.

It seems this dog was more frightening than he had imagined.

"Tendaros, where do you want to go for a walk?"

Liu Zheng asked.

The Hound shook its head.

"Nod if you don’t know, shake your head if you don’t care."

The Hound shook its head again.

"Then let’s head to the restaurant."

Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Niu Ma hadn’t said they couldn’t wander outside, without the boost from the Legendary Armor, he didn’t want to stay outside for long.

"Ow?"

The Hound howled again.

Inexplicably, Liu Zheng knew it was asking him for directions.

He pointed in the direction of the Bloody Restaurant, and Tendaros lunged forward fiercely.

Its shape twisted and changed in the air, and when it landed, it had turned into a multicolored smoke, scattering on the ground.

The next second, it appeared fifty meters away.

"Ow!"

The Hound seemed to be urging him to hurry up.

"Sigh, walking a dog without a leash is like being walked by the dog," Liu Zheng sighed deeply, feeling ashamed.

But it’s not like the mini-people gave him a leash, and even if they had, he wouldn’t dare to put it around the Hound’s neck.

Luckily, there was no one on the street, and as long as nobody saw them, it didn’t count as uncivilized.

Clearly, Tendaros must have not been walked for a while and was very excited.

It kept turning into smoke and then condensing back into shape.

Sometimes it appeared in front of Liu Zheng, sometimes behind him.

It did not have that composed demeanor it had at the beginning.

From a Saint Bernard, it had turned into a Husky.

He looked around the streets, and those prying eyes almost all turned away.

The effect was even better than when Niu Ma was accompanying him.

"Interesting."

Liu Zheng’s eyes flicked around as he came up with a good idea.

"Tendaros, come this way," he called out, changing their direction.

The Hound, not caring either way, scattered into smoke and then reappeared behind Liu Zheng.

Tired or just playful, it put its two paws on Liu Zheng’s shoulders.

Surprisingly, Tendaros did not have the stench of a large dog.

Upon closer consideration, it made sense, as it wasn’t really a dog, just having the habits and appearance of one.

But the Hound did have a scent.

Liu Zheng sniffed, and a decaying scent entered his nostrils.

It was not the decay of plants, animals, or metal, but a very complex and subtle scent.

It was like the decay of time itself.

About fifteen minutes later, they arrived at their destination.

A distance away, the French Plane Tree was closing its eyes, its face sinking into its bark, appearing to be napping.

"Mr. Tree, I’m back," Liu Zheng yelled from afar.

The French Plane Tree slowly opened its eyes, first with a look of disgust, then utter shock.

"You, you, why did you bring this guy over?" it cried out in terror.

"The person who ordered asked me to help walk the dog."

"Are you freaking crazy, walking a Tendaros Dog. You’re so badass, why don’t you go blow up City Hall?"

"It’s not that serious, I think it’s quite friendly. Right, Tendaros?" Liu Zheng said to the Hound.

"Ow."

The Hound nodded.

Then, it turned into smoke and pounced toward the French Plane Tree.

"Don’t come over!"

The French Plane Tree screamed.

Thick roots burst from the ground, spearing towards the Hound like a barrage of arrows.

A hint of disdain flashed in Tendaros’s eyes, and it didn’t even turn into smoke this time, simply dodging all the attacks with agile movements.

A few breaths later, it was standing on Black Soil.

"Aaahhh!"

The French Plane Tree felt like it was going insane.

More roots thrust out fiercely, like a rain of bullets.

Facing the explosive French Plane Tree, the Hound finally acted a bit more seriously.

It didn’t rely on dodging this time but turned into smoke.

The roots pierced through the Hound’s body, but did not cause any harm.

The next second, it appeared right beneath the French Plane Tree.

It lifted a leg and shot out a glowing stream of liquid.

"Ow~"

The Hound made a sound of pleasure.
