Chapter 955: Chapter 956: Gravely Wounded

Before long, Lin Qian’s figure disappeared from everyone’s sight, leaving a pool of bloody flesh on the ground, chilling the heart.

The lower city of Ziliang City, although larger in scope and more populated, is mostly a place where Body Refinement and Qi Refining Realm individuals survive.

A soul martial artist of Lin Qian’s realm rarely appears in such a place.

“Hmm? Where’s that little soul beast that stole the pill?”

“Gone, did anyone notice it just now?”

At this moment, Lin Qian was leisurely strolling on the street, continuing to take in the scenery of Ziliang City.

Following that, he did notice something amiss; people on the road frequently sneaked glances at him.

No, to be precise, they were glancing behind him.

Lin Qian quickly turned around, discovering his leg had been knocked by something, and upon looking down, found it to be the golden-haired dog.

The golden-haired dog’s two hind legs were still bound by the metal chain, hopping along behind him.

Its speed was neither fast nor slow; if Lin Qian were walking at a regular pace, the golden-haired dog would have long lost track.

Lin Qian crouched down, brought his fingers together, and with a flicker of crimson-gold lightning from his fingers, gently sliced, cutting through the sturdy metal chain.

“Go and play.” Lin Qian patted the golden-haired dog on the head, then stood up and continued on his way.

The golden-haired dog stood up, stretched its two small hind legs as if loosening its muscles and bones, bit hard, crushed the jade bottle in its mouth, spat out the shards, and swallowed the ten pills inside.

After swallowing the pills, the golden-haired dog looked at Lin Qian’s back, wagged its tail, and quickly followed.

“Hmm?” With the golden-haired dog’s appearance beside him, Lin Qian stopped, and the dog stopped too, raising its head and gazing at him, tail wagging nonstop.

“What, you want to follow me?” Looking at the golden-haired dog, Lin Qian couldn’t help but laugh, crouching down to scratch its chin.

The golden-haired dog squinted its eyes, looking delighted, barked twice in excitement.

“Woof woof!”

In the next moment, a streak of golden light suddenly shone from the golden-haired dog’s brows, shot into Lin Qian’s brows, and vanished inside.

This sudden change left Lin Qian momentarily stunned, unable to comprehend what had happened.

Suddenly, Lin Qian realized, this golden-haired dog had recognized him as its master.

But this feeling of being recognized as a master was different from the soul contract of a soul beast, leaving Lin Qian puzzled.

His soul was strong, and with the fortune of Huaxia Empire upon him, logically, how could this golden-haired dog recognize him as its master without his consent?

“Wait a minute!” This peculiarity made Lin Qian notice something amiss; this golden-haired dog had been following him without him realizing it.

Lin Qian was no longer his former self; his soul strength had increased rapidly, far surpassing even Wei Ziliang now.

Yet, the golden-haired dog followed behind him without him noticing, only realizing through the attention of strangers.

This is unreasonable!

“Since that’s the case, you should follow me.” Looking at the golden-haired dog in front of him, Lin Qian reached out to pick it up, rubbed its head, “Meeting is fate, you should have a name.”

Looking at the pup’s appearance, a name naturally came to Lin Qian’s mind.

“I’ll call you Jinmao then.”

“Woof!”

At night, Wei Wushuang was lying on the sofa, watching content on the soul vision machine, only to notice a golden figure leaping onto the sofa, hastily sitting up and looking over, finding a dog-like soul beast there.

“Went out once, and bought a soul beast as a pet?” Wei Wushuang sat up straight, staring at Jinmao rolling on the sofa, looking curiously at Lin Qian who walked in, “Why such an interest?”

“Happened to come across something, so I brought it back.” Seeing Jinmao rolling around like a curious baby, Lin Qian’s face was full of smiles.

Actually, having a pet feels quite nice.

Lin Qian then returned to his room, giving Jinmao a good bath, and during the process, he discovered a startling sight.

Previously covered by fur, Jinmao’s body had hidden it well, but while washing, Lin Qian was shocked to find its fur-covered body filled with scars.

An abundance of cuts, large and small, covered Jinmao’s entire body.

Yet these wounds were peculiar, revealing the flesh below, and some even deep enough to see bone, but not a drop of blood flowed.

Even in some fine cuts, Lin Qian could sense medicinal power at work upon them.

The wounds were covered by an invisible force, temporarily acting as an invisible skin, protecting the wounds.

This situation, Lin Qian had never heard of.

“So, this little thing is severely injured, no wonder it went to steal pills.” At this time, Lin Qian suddenly understood, realizing why this little thing went to Ming Chun Hall to steal pills; it was for healing.

Showing its intelligence this way, Jinmao is clearly more than it seems.

Hearing Lin Qian’s narration, Jinmao kept nodding, tail wagging, clearly understanding his words and showing its intelligence.

After washing, Lin Qian dried Jinmao’s fur and summoned a physician from the Medical Department to examine it.

However, after careful examination, the physician confessed with difficulty to Lin Qian, “Your Majesty, this subject is powerless, unable to heal this Imperial auspicious beast.”

“Can’t heal it?” Lin Qian was surprised, exclaiming, and the physician quickly bowed, asking for leniency.

At this moment, Jinmao nudged Lin Qian’s side, bit his trouser leg, shaking its head, signaling Lin Qian not to blame this person.

Lin Qian naturally wouldn’t blame him, just surprised that a physician with Creation Realm strength couldn’t heal this small Jinmao?

Moments later, Lin Qian made a decision, and a figure appeared before him again.

This person, with white hair yet robust, standing straight with a youthful-looking face that contradicted his white hair.

He was Huasheng, the overseer of the Medical Department, manifesting himself with the aid of a puppet.

“Greetings, Your Majesty.” Huasheng respectfully bowed to Lin Qian, saluting.

“No need for formalities, quickly diagnose it, what exactly is the situation.”

“Yes!”

Huasheng stood up, then approached Jinmao, who seemed to understand this person was there to diagnose and heal, standing still and being very obedient.

“These injuries should have been sustained in the womb and brought out with it.” After examination, Huasheng immediately identified the cause, “It likely suffered shock in the womb, tearing its body with so many wounds. Initially, its bones were likely shattered, organs fragmented, surviving is nothing short of a miracle.”

“Although it appears lively now, it’s critically injured, surviving on minimal medicinal power.”
