Chapter 272 "Still have to wait 12 hours, huh.
the wen family, that was the name of their clan.
years ago, their family received a legacy of a hidden occupation, a rare and most importantly, inheritable one.
you see, all hidden occupations are non-inheritable.
unless one acquired the inheritance of a hidden occupation, and this particular hidden occupation was the "roaring heavenly dog".
so far, it had been passed down for two generations, and he was the second generation.
wen xi glanced at a male dog sitting on a sofa beside him and shook his head helplessly. that was his father, wen shen, whose strength was immense. although he was virtually unknown in the outside world, his power was off the charts, and he was the strongest person in the wen family, their guardian deity.
the most badass thing his father had done,
was to snatch away the first place in the city-state competition from jingjiu city.
it was common knowledge that jingjiu city almost always secured first place in every city-state competition over the years, with the exception of that one time by his father, wen shen, which left jingjiu city in second place.
his grandfather wasn't ordinary either, the old mr. wen who had just spoken to him, was the core of the wen family. sir wen was also an extraordinarily powerful supernatural, one of the first generation to tap into the supernatural, one of the first to "eat the crab".
however, due to his age, he inevitably developed dementia. because he had overtaxed himself in his youth, he was left with many hidden health issues, and his physical condition continued to decline as he aged.
his grandfather's supernatural occupation wasn't the "roaring heavenly dog". having fortunately acquired the inheritable bloodline of the roaring heavenly dog hidden occupation, all of his own bloodline descendants would automatically become the supernatural occupation of the roaring heavenly dog at the age of 18.
and they had no other choice. enjoy new stories from empire
the occupation was powerful, but its major drawback was that one would transform into a dog.
the psychological pressure and social inconveniences that followed were always very hard to bear.
but... there was no helping it, the choice had been made, and it was irreversible.
according to the grandfather, back in the day, the world was countless times more dangerous than it is now. no one knew if they would be alive the next second, and they would use anything that could make them stronger, no matter what it was.
but after becoming dogs, they could no longer pass on their bloodline.
they could no longer have children.
hence, the wen family had a rule—
"before the age of 18, one must complete the task of continuing the bloodline, find a wife, and have a child, to carry on the legacy."
however...
wen xi thoughtfully looked at the notification pop-up on his wristwatch. there should be another opportunity to meet chen miao soon. he was very interested in this person who had made a name for himself in the federation and whom he had once encountered.
...
in the live streaming room, zhang wanlin had given up and turned off the stream. just before it went off, he still issued a severe threat, demanding chen miao to arrive at the designated location within 12 hours.
otherwise...
"i have to wait for another 12 hours?" hungry monkey said with a sense of lingering anticipation as he sat back down on the bench, "i can hardly wait. miao, do we have any missions today?"
"yes."
chen miao glanced at the time, "we're going out, to get your woman back."
"ah?"
hungry monkey was momentarily stunned before speaking in disbelief, "have you gone mad, miao? you can't possibly think i was pretending to be nonchalant just to keep you from taking risks? i truly have no feelings for her."
"she swindled all my possessions back then. i wish i could kill her. how could i possibly have any feelings for her?"
"and since zhang wanlin is shouting for us to go there, he must have laid a perfect trap. if we go, we'll be walking straight into a snare. it's very dangerous, miao!"
"indeed."
zhou shen concurred, "if anyone in the federation understands miao's strengths best now, it's probably zhang wanlin. after all, he has witnessed firsthand what your full firepower is like."
"under these circumstances, if he still dares to challenge miao to come, he must have made thorough preparations."
"it's very dangerous."
"the best solution is not to go, if hungry monkey genuinely doesn't care."
"what do you mean 'if hungry monkey genuinely doesn't care'?" hungry monkey was almost jumping with impatience, "what do i have to say for you guys to believe me? i really have no feelings for her. you don't all think i'm putting on a brave face, do you?"
"damn it, i finally understand what it means to be at a loss for words!"
"you're about to drive me insane!"
"what do i have to do to make you believe me?"
