White Wolf looked with disdain at Jiang Cheng, who was spitting foam on the floor.
"Is this really all you've got? You're so pathetic."
With that, it slurped up the remaining piece of electrical wire like it was eating a bowl of noodles.
After smacking its lips for a moment, it spat out a pitch-black elixir.
It stomped hard on Jiang Cheng's little foot, causing the latter to let out a sharp cry of pain, and Erha took the opportunity to toss the elixir right into his mouth.
Without even glancing back, it strolled over toward the aluminum-alloy window nearby...
"This is an Anti-Thunder Pill. It can help you immune all lightning-type attacks below the Tribulation Stage."
Jiang Cheng, who was still convulsing a moment ago, instantly recovered the second the elixir entered his mouth, and he began patting himself all over in disbelief.
Amidst his excitement, however, he couldn't help noticing that the taste in his mouth was rather strange.
"Brother-in-law, is what it said true?"
Liu Bufan was massaging Jiang Wan'er's shoulders and gave a perfunctory reply:
"I refined this in the past. Now, even a direct tribulation lightning strike won't be able to fry you to death. But it only protects against electricity, so don't go jumping around blindly."
As if his inner thoughts had been guessed, Jiang Cheng let out a rather disappointed "Oh."
Liu Bufan turned to Jiang Shanyue and asked:
"Father-in-law, don't you find it strange to see White Wolf talking?"
The old man replied with great pride:
"Bah, I can even accept a son-in-law who is 8,000 years old, what else is there that I can't accept?"
However, after taking a look around the room, he clutched his chest:
"Still, having the house chewed up like this is a bit hard for me to accept."
Liu Bufan wore a look of helplessness; this habit hadn't changed in several millennia, and he certainly didn't expect it to change now.
At that moment, White Wolf chimed in:
"Master, aside from the light tubes, my favorite thing in this house is this window frame! It's got such a nice kick to it!"
Liu Bufan stood up immediately and kicked it right out through the window. Surveying the wreckage inside the room, he let out a whistle and summoned Doggy back inside.
"Get this place restored to its original condition right now! Immediately, at once!"
White Wolf looked extremely reluctant—this was its masterpiece, after all, and there was no sense in having to undo one's own work. But since the master had given the command, it had better comply.
The dog pinched an incantation seal, and instantly every single furnishing in the room took on a brand-new look.
Aside from Liu Bufan, everyone else in the room dropped their jaws in shock—the level of astonishment was equivalent to Hiroshima being favored by Little Boy and then having a Manhattan rebuilt on the exact same site.
The lighting was dazzling and brilliant;
The furniture was exquisite, exuding the fragrance of rosewood;
The walls were aesthetic, decorated in the style of Thangka;
And the floor was so smooth it could double as an ice-skating rink!
At the same time, however, several large shopping malls in Jiangzhou City were reporting thefts of massive amounts of property...
Even though Jiang Shanyue had mentally prepared himself for the abilities of cultivators, this display was truly shocking.
Looking at the "new home," Jiang Cheng said to Bai Moli:
"Moli, hit me. Am I dreaming?"
"Are you sure?"
"Huh? Oh, no, no, no, no! I was just kidding!"
Jiang Wan'er looked at everything in front of her and said excitedly:
"This is making something out of nothing! How amazing! With a dog like this in the family, we don't even need a decoration crew!"
White Wolf shook its canine head and fawned over Jiang Wan'er: "Mistress, I'm not the master, I don't have that kind of great power. Making something out of nothing involves the fundamental power of the universe; I'm just a mover, that's all~ Woof woof~"
Jiang Wan'er looked at Liu Bufan in confusion:
"This?"
Liu Bufan was completely numb:
"I told you to restore it to the original condition, what kind of mess did you pull off here? Did you go ahead and upgrade it to a plus version for me?"
He let out a sigh and said helplessly:
"Sigh, whatever. Wherever you hauled this stuff from, transfer the money over later. All day long, all you know how to do is cause trouble for me."
Jiang Shanyue didn't pay attention to all that; he was just cradling a new purple-clay teapot and continuously turning it over in his hands:
"You have to admit, Doggy really knows how to pick things! I saw this exact tea set at Yida Plaza last time, with the price tag right on it! Your mother wouldn't let me buy it, but look, didn't it end up in my hands after all? Hahaha!"
Doggy didn't have much concept of such things; anyway, it had just transferred a couple of hundred catties of practically worthless gold to those various malls, which should be more than enough.
White Wolf's appearance disrupted Liu Bufan's previous plans, but having a capable subordinate would also save a lot of trouble.
Even though this subordinate came with its own built-in attribute of stewing itself in an iron pot.
Right at that moment, Aunt Li and Jiang's mother, Li Xiue, returned. The two women, who had been chatting and laughing, looked at the luxurious living room, then walked back out to check the house number.
They hadn't walked to the wrong place.
Li Xiue looked at Jiang Shanyue in confusion and asked:
"Old Jiang, what is this? Aren't you going to explain?"
Jiang Shanyue's mind was entirely occupied by the purple-clay teapot, so he waved his hand:
"Ask your son-in-law about this, the house was already like this when I got back!"
Liu Bufan thought to himself:
Father-in-law, are you sure it was already like this when you got back? Aren't you afraid of sleeping on the sofa tonight when you talk nonsense with your eyes wide open?
Still, watching Jiang Shanyue stroke the teapot while stroking the rosewood sofa, he figured that if the old man ever got kicked out, he'd probably still marvel that such a wonderful thing could happen.
Because Aunt Li had accompanied Li Xiue when she remarried into the family, and was even rumored to have saved the mother-in-law's life, Liu Bufan didn't treat her as an outsider. Therefore, he gestured toward the dog.
Then, White Wolf sat on the floor, facing the wall, and beams of light projected from its two eyes, forming a screen on the wall.
A true dog projector.
After watching the projection, both Li Xiue and Aunt Li had their lips twitching continuously, and the way they looked at White Wolf became rather strange.
After calming down for a moment, Li Xiue calmly said to Jiang Shanyue:
"Old Jiang, come, let's have a chat in our room."
The latter waved his hand:
"What can't be discussed tonight? Why does it have to be right now? Can't you see I'm busy? Honestly."
"Three,"
"Right there!"
After watching the whole thing, Aunt Li solemnly said to Liu Bufan:
"Son-in-law, don't you worry. I'm just a nanny, I only do what's expected of me, and I didn't see a thing today."
Liu Bufan nodded:
"Aunt Li, don't overthink it. Since we let you watch, it means we don't treat you as an outsider. Just keep doing whatever you usually do, and don't carry any psychological burden."
Then he glanced at White Wolf:
"If this creature tries to steal food or chew on things indiscriminately, just tell me and Wan'er. We need to straighten its habits out properly."
Aunt Li instinctively moved a bit further away from White Wolf; she still harbored some psychological trauma regarding a dog that ate stainless steel raw. In fact, if White Wolf hadn't secretly used a concentration spell, it would have been very difficult for an ordinary woman to accept things that defied common sense.
Too many things had happened in half a day, and before they knew it, evening had arrived.
Everyone sat around the dining table, chatting casually, while White Wolf was frantically devouring its meal under the table.
Liu Bufan and Jiang Wan'er exchanged a glance.
"Everyone, please pause for a moment, I have an announcement to make."
All eyes turned toward Liu Bufan.
"Wan'er is pregnant."
None of them reacted at first. Jiang Shanyue recovered the fastest, becoming so excited that he dropped his chopsticks onto the floor:
"What did you say? I'm going to become a grandfather!?"
