Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Aunt Wang Got Scared Again? My Dog Puts All Troublemakers in Their Place!

The air in the room was so quiet you could only hear the ticking of the clock on the wall.

Lin Wan Yi stared at Gu An’s little face, which had returned to a creamy complexion, then glanced at Little Grey, who was lying by the bed with its belly bulging.

"You mean it ate that ’scent’?"

Gu An nodded, quickly climbing out from under the covers.

He stretched out his small hand, grabbed Little Grey’s upright ear, and tugged it firmly.

Little Grey didn’t dodge.

Instead, it nudged its big head into Gu An’s lap, its tail thumping "pa-pa" against the floor.

Those bright green eyes had lost all their previous murkiness.

They shone like two ghostly flames.

Lin Wan Yi reached out to touch her son’s forehead.

Cool.

Not only had the fever subsided, but the child’s spirits were even better than before he fell ill.

"Hungry." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Gu An patted his belly, his words clear.

This single word, "hungry," brought Gu Lan from outside the door.

With a "bang," the door was flung open.

Gu Lan was clutching half a brick in her hand, her hair a mess, looking ready to fight someone.

"Sister-in-law! Is it that old shrew Aunt Wang again..."

She didn’t finish her sentence, it got stuck in her throat.

Gu Lan stared, seeing her nephew playing with the dog on the bed.

The brick in her hand clattered onto her foot.

"Ow!"

Gu Lan hopped twice on the spot, tears of pain welling up, pointing at Little Grey on the bed trembling.

"What... what is this?"

Earlier, the room was dark and she hadn’t seen clearly.

Now under the light.

Was this still the sick dog they had brought home that was the size of a palm with its fur falling out?

Its silver-grey fur shone like satin, its frame expanding more than twice its size, lying there like a little calf.

Especially those two protruding canine teeth, white as snow, looked chilling.

Little Grey turned its head at the sound.

It didn’t bark.

Instead, it barely lifted its upper lip, letting out a low thunderous rumble from deep in its throat.

"Woo—"

A gust of fierce Evil Qi surged directly at Gu Lan’s face.

Terrified, Gu Lan clung to the doorframe as her legs cramped.

"Sister-in-law, has a wolf come into our house?"

Lin Wan Yi walked over and slapped Little Grey on the head.

"What are you being fierce for towards family? Stop it."

Just a moment ago, Little Grey looked fierce, but now its ears drooped instantly.

It whimpered pitifully, buried its big head between its front paws, peeking at Gu Lan with just its eyes.

This timid look matched the sick dog from yesterday.

"It’s Little Grey."

Lin Wan Yi pulled Gu Lan over, "An An is hungry, go to the kitchen and make a bowl of egg custard, remember to add a few more drops of sesame oil."

Gu Lan, still in a daze, mechanically nodded, turning to leave with every step.

It wasn’t until she reached the kitchen that she suddenly realized.

An An got better?

The nearly dead dog became a wolf?

Is the Gu Family’s feng shui really that good?

...

This midnight snack was somewhat frightening.

Gu An finished a big bowl of egg custard by himself, licking even the bottom clean.

And Little Grey was even more exaggerated.

Lin Wan Yi dumped the five leftover buns from home, along with half a pot of last night’s stewed meat soup, into its food bowl.

"Slurp-slurp."

Devouring everything.

In less than two minutes, the bowl was cleaner than a face.

Once full, Little Grey let out an earth-shaking burp, flopped down by Gu An’s bed, and didn’t move.

Lin Wan Yi looked at these two "foodies," both big and small, and understood.

The energy from that golden fruit was too strong; Gu An was too young to handle it, and his fever was his body’s way of rejecting it.

Little Grey, being an animal, instinctively devoured the overflow of energy, completing its "evolution" straight away.

It’s lucky this beast had a solid foundation; a regular dog would probably have burst.

"Go to sleep."

Lin Wan Yi tucked her son in.

Little Grey instinctively rested its chin on Gu An’s shoes, its green eyes half closed, but its ears constantly alert.

That night, the Gu Family slept exceptionally well.

...

The next day, just as dawn broke.

The rooster in the courtyard hadn’t crowed yet, but Aunt Wang was already loitering around the Gu Family’s gate with her hands tucked in.

She had run off scared last night, but the more she thought about it, the more something felt off.

The dog’s barking sounded fierce, but if that Gu Family boy really burned into stupidity or died, it would be big news.

She needed to get the scoop first.

"Why is there no sound at all?"

Aunt Wang pressed her ear against the large iron gate to listen.

It was silent.

"Could it be that the person is already gone?"

Aunt Wang had a look of schadenfreude on her face, mixed with a bit of excitement for watching a spectacle.

She cautiously pushed the door.

Not locked.

"Wanyi? How’s An An doing? Auntie is here to see the child..."

As Aunt Wang called out, she stepped into the courtyard.

No one was in the courtyard.

Only a gray lump was lying under the big banyan tree.

Aunt Wang squinted to get a closer look.

She sneered in her heart.

Sure enough, it was the reincarnated sick ghost dog, lying there motionless, probably dead.

"Tsk tsk, I told you this dog was unlucky, it stiffened overnight, didn’t it?"

Aunt Wang felt bold.

She took a few steps forward, wanting to give the dog a kick to see if it was completely dead.

Just when her toe was only half a foot away from the gray lump.

"Whish—"

Two streams of white mist burst out from the nostrils of the gray lump, swirling the leaves on the ground.

Aunt Wang’s foot froze mid-air.

The next second.

The gray lump moved.

It didn’t slowly stand up.

It "sprung" up directly.

Without any warning.

The lifeless lump suddenly transformed into a bolt of gray lightning.

Aunt Wang just felt her vision blur.

Then, a rush of hot, fishy breath was directly blown onto her face.

A mouth filled with sharp teeth stopped just two centimeters from her nose.

"Roar!"

This roar didn’t sound like a dog.

It sounded like thunder.

Aunt Wang could see clearly now.

Where was the little pup from last night?

It was obviously a fierce beast that stood as high as a human waist, with quivering muscles all over its body!

Those eerie green eyes were fixed on her neck.

It seemed like if she dared to move, the next second it would bite through her throat.

"Oh my god! A monster!"

Aunt Wang’s scream broke the pitch.

Her eyes rolled, and a warmth spread in her crotch as she wet herself.

She fell backward like a piece of rotten wood.

"What’s going on, what’s going on?"

The earth-shattering commotion startled all the neighbors.

Wrapped in clothes, they rushed out their doors and saw at the gate of the Gu Family courtyard.

The usually overbearing Aunt Wang was now collapsed in a puddle of her own making, grabbing at air, muttering about "wolves" and "man-eaters".

And in the Gu Family courtyard.

The so-called "sick dog" was majestically seated at the entrance.

It looked down upon the crowd with cold eyes, like a general guarding its territory.

Sunlight shone on its silver-gray fur, reflecting a metallic sheen.

In the crowd, Zhao Tiezhu had just come over holding two bottles of malt extract, something Gu Yanshen had him bring for the child.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Tiezhu almost dropped his net bag.

He was from a reconnaissance unit and had more dealings with military dogs than humans.

"Damn..."

Zhao Tiezhu stared at Little Grey’s broad chest and sturdy forelegs, swallowing hard.

"This is no mongrel."

"It’s a throwback! This physique is even fiercer than our army’s merit dog ’Black Wind’ in its youth!"

At this moment, Lin Wan Yi came out holding Gu An.

Gu An was clutching a meat bun, munching messily with oil dripping from his mouth.

Seeing the scene at the door, Gu An blinked.

Pointing at Aunt Wang lying on the ground, he asked in a child’s voice:

"Mommy, is that a big horse lying there?"

The crowd erupted in laughter.

The child was fine!

Not only fine but eating, drinking, and ready to tease!

And then there was the dog.

The once ferocious Little Grey, upon hearing Gu An’s voice, immediately turned around.

Its sturdy, large tail wagged like a propeller.

It nudged over to Gu An’s feet, licking the child’s exposed toes with affection, letting out overwhelmed whimpering sounds.

This contrast had everyone’s eyeballs popping out.

Lin Wan Yi patted Little Grey’s head, signaling it to be quiet.

She walked to the door, looking down at Aunt Wang, who hadn’t regained her composure.

"Aunt Wang, maybe it’s best if you steer clear of the courtyard in the future."

"Our dog here doesn’t like strangers."

"If it ends up scaring you into wetting your pants again, it’ll be really hard to face everyone in this big courtyard."
