Chapter 678: Chapter 678: Stay or Leave!
The fox, having obtained verbal consent from its guardian, happily began its wonderful life as âthe only dog in the military.â
As previously discussed, it stayed by Tang Zelinâs side.
Group 208 had no canine unit.
Qu Guoâan even took advantage of his work to exchange some items with the neighboring group for a military dog leash and a few other things, gleefully returning to put them on the fox.
The fox, having just regained its freedom from centuries of confinement, wouldnât let itself be tethered by a leash again.
It ran around the entire field, adamantly refusing to be leashed.
Qu Guoâan and his soldiers chased after it, gasping for breath, but to no avail.
Another dog, however, strutted around proudly.
It seemed as if the frenzied escape had been nothing, irritating the group of men to the point of itching teeth.
With a briefcase under his arm, Tang Zelin, just back from a meeting in town, caught sight of the scene and his dark eyes twinkled.
âFox! Come here!â
He shouted loudly, and Qu Guoâan and the others turned around to see the group captain returning. They then looked back at the distant ancestor strutting around.
As soon as the fox heard Tang Zelinâs call, it sprinted back, tail wagging furiously.
Qu Guoâan and the soldiers were dumbfounded, âDamn! This damn dog is so unprincipled!â
The fox, which had been giving them the runaround, suddenly switched sides and started fawning over the group captain?
Qu Guoâan walked over, tossed the leash to Tang Zelin, and said helplessly.
âYou handle it. We canât manage it.â
âWhereâd you get it?â
âFrom Group 209, Pang Tong.â
Tang Zelin nodded, handed the documents he was holding to Qu Guoâan, squatted down, and picked up the leash.
The fox stepped back, pressed its chin to the ground, and stuck out its tail, looking utterly defiant.
A group of soldiers, having caught their breath, crowded around and started saying, âGroup Captain, the fox doesnât want to wear it.â
âExactly right. The Political Commissar tried to put it on earlier, and it nearly bit us.â
Everybody had something to say, and of course, some soldiers spoke up for the fox.
âBut, it might be used to wandering, not used to wearing a leash around its neck, right? Itâd be uncomfortable for us too if something were tied around our necks, right?â
The fox thought to itself, whoâs been wandering? Whoâs been wandering?
If anyone present truly understood the fox, it was none other than Tang Zelin.
Why it didnât want to wear the leash, he certainly understood what the fox was thinking.
It was a fox with mana, highly perceptive, did it really need that foolish thing?
You could tell from the disdain in its eyes.
However, if it wanted to stay in the military, there were rules to follow.
He knew it understood everything, but that didnât mean others knew, let alone the ordinary people outside the military base.
Tang Zelin stared at it with a stern voice, âIf you want to stay, you have to wear this, especially when leaving the military base. Otherwise, it will scare people. Think about it, if you donât wear it, Iâll send you away.â
Send the fox away?!
Indeed, this wolfhound named Fox was aptly named.
The soldiers became reluctant.
âGroup Captain, if it really hates it, maybe donât make it wear it? We could keep an eye on it to make sure it doesnât go out aimlessly.â
âYeah, Group Captain, the fox is so smart, it will surely obey in the future, letâs just not make it wear it.â
The soldiers who had just been chasing the fox, now pleading for it not to be leashed.
Tang Zelin, ignoring their pleas, only stared at the fox and said, âEither put it on and stay, or donât and leave, the choice is yours.â
