The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Fangzheng knew that although Lone Wolf hit the dogs, his hits were measured. All Lone Wolf did was chase them away without hurting them; therefore Fangzheng didn’t bother.

When the owners of the dogs saw how Lone Wolf was acting fierce, they laughed without a word. Of course, they couldn’t understand what Lone Wolf was mumbling about; otherwise, they would have either been scared out of their wits or infuriated to death.

Just as Fangzheng was musing over how Lone Wolf was destined to be single his entire life for being so picky, a figure suddenly appeared behind him.

Fangzheng turned his head and was stunned. That idiot Lone Wolf had found a partner! He then noticed the dog’s breed and the eyes that looked familiar. Fangzheng subconsciously looked at Lone Wolf and was enlightened. It was no wonder!

Behind Lone Wolf was a huge dog which was rather slim, with gray and white fur. It looked like a wolf, but those clueless eyes were just like Lone Wolf’s! This dog was none other than a husky!

Fangzheng looked at Lone Wolf and secretly slapped him, whispering, “Why didn’t you say earlier that you had a relative in the city?”

Lone Wolf wore a look of grievance. How was this a relative?

“Don’t be in a rush to call them relatives. My Dopey has no relationship with your dog.” At that moment, a girl said with a frown.

When Fangzheng heard that, he saw a girl dressed in a yellow fur coat. She was looking at him with a frown, as though Fangzheng’s joke about Lone Wolf and Dopey being relatives was demeaning to her dog.

Fangzheng sighed inwardly. “Her hearing sure is good. She actually heard that.” However, he said, “Patron, you are mistaken. This Penniless Monk was just joking with his dog.”

“Keep the jokes to yourself. We aren’t familiar with you!” The girl nodded and put on a displeased look.

When Fangzheng saw this, he shook his head in resignation. What else could he do about bumping into someone irascible?

“Big Brother, don’t be angry. My sister just broke up with her boyfriend. She’s on her period, and her credit card was taken away by my mom. She lost her job yesterday too, so she’s irritable. It’s like she ate gunpowder. She is making snarky remarks at anyone she meets. She’s really fierce.” At that moment, a voice sounded from Fangzheng’s feet. He looked down and saw a cool boy. He wore bulging pants and had his hands in his pockets. He even had a pair of sunglasses propped up on top of his head. He looked like a tiny adult who looked rather cool. Fangzheng subconsciously compared the little kid with Red Boy and concluded: This is a little prince, but the one on my mountain is a savage.

Fangzheng laughed when he heard the kid’s words. It was no wonder the girl was so hot-tempered. Fangzheng’s tiny bit of unhappiness also became happiness because of the girl’s unhappiness. That’s right, this guy wasn’t that magnanimous, and he was gloating over her misfortunes…

Before Fangzheng could speak, a girl came over and carried the young boy away. She grunted and said, “Little Seven, did you forget what Mom said about when you’re outside? You are not to speak to strangers! Especially strangers who don’t look like good people!”

Fangzheng rubbed his nose. He was being maligned. Was there anyone in this world who looked more harmless than him?

Little Seven struggled as he shouted. “Sis, Mom told you to rein in your temper and not lash out in rage so easily too! Why didn’t you listen to her? Also, I think this big brother here looks like a good person. How is he not one?”

“Shut up! You don’t have to mind my matters. As for him? Have you seen a good person ever choose to be bald?” the girl said matter-of-factly.

Fangzheng shook his head and quickly left. The child had such a temper that he couldn’t bear to offend her. Therefore, he hid away.

“You are spouting nonsense!” Little Seven was still defending Fangzheng.

“It’s none of your business! Dopey, get back here. Don’t go close to that stupid dog! You are much smarter than he is…” The girl really was quick-tempered. After raging out at Fangzheng, she did so at Little Seven. After Little Seven, she turned her sights to her husky. When Little Seven saw this, he hurriedly ran away to not end up in her cross sights.

However, Little Seven was still too naive. No matter how fast he ran, he wasn’t faster than her mouth.

“Dopey, don’t go to every dog you see! You are a hero dog. You saved someone before! Don’t admire that dog for its size. Other than looking scary and being capable of threatening the lives and wealth of others, how can he be compared to you?” The girl’s voice wasn’t loud, so it was obvious she didn’t want others to hear her. However, Fangzheng and Lone Wolf had good hearing, and they heard her clearly. Fangzheng looked at Lone Wolf in amusement while Lone Wolf rolled his eyes at the girl. Then, he raised his head high in pride. He was an alpha wolf! In terms of pedigree, how could any dog compare with him? He indulged in his own fantasies.

However, Fangzheng glanced at the husky in surprise. He never expected the dog to be a hero dog who had saved someone! This was quite rare and impressive.

Fangzheng activated his Wisdom Eye to look at the husky, and surprisingly, the husky had a golden glow on it. It even had a lotus flower phantom, but so did the girl! That meant that she too had saved someone! At the very least, she was a good person too.

Fangzheng frowned. This… You really can’t judge a book by its cover.

When Little Seven heard that, he asked in excitement, “Sis, did Dopey really save someone before?”

“Of course! You had gone back to our hometown with Dad back then. There was a fire at our building’s east wing, and Dopey rushed in to pull out a child. Our Dopey is really impressive,” The girl raised her head and said with pride while she ruffled the husky’s head.

When the boy heard that, his eyes lit up. He had heard the story numerous times, but he never felt that he had enough of it. He enjoyed asking and listening to it every time.

Having said this, the girl looked at Fangzheng smugly. It was as though she was saying: My Dopey is much better than your dog which is only all looks! Convinced?

Fangzheng shook his head in resignation. She was still young after all. However, the dog did take after its master. The girl was hot-tempered and a little arrogant, and after saying those words, Dopey also raised her head, looking like she was more impressive than anyone else. When Lone Wolf saw this, he would have long run over to teach Dopey how to be a silent dog if not for Fangzheng’s warning look.

The girl lost her interest when she saw Fangzheng remain silent and walk off with Lone Wolf. She walked the husky while following behind Fangzheng.

Little Seven was like an adult as he held the girl’s hand. He kept saying with vigor, “Sis, you are already an adult. You should learn to control your temper. If you are angry, you shouldn’t vent it on strangers. You can unleash your anger back home. As a man, I will do my best to put up with it.”

The girl rolled her eyes and couldn’t be bothered with the child.

Fangzheng was quite amused hearing that. The child was truly interesting. In terms of maturity, he was even more mature than Red Boy. More importantly, the little kid was rather adorable.

As they walked, Fangzheng realized something amiss. The husky really didn’t know shame or use its memory. Surprisingly enough, it came over again. This time, Lone Wolf didn’t act aloof and led the husky away. When Fangzheng saw Lone Wolf wagging his tail, he had a nagging feeling that the darn dog was up to no good. But on second thought, the fellow couldn’t do anything to the husky anyway. At most…
