Yi Xin blushed and said, "Well … I'm not really one yet, but I should be one after a while."
Lu Chen became curious and asked a few more questions. As it turned out, although Yi Xin looked delicate, she was actually a woman with an impressive background. She was born in Kunwu City, at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains. She was the daughter of a member of the Yi Clan. The Yi Clan had a close relationship with the Kunlun Party for many years. Over the years, many of their disciples had entered the Kunlun Party.
When Yi Xin was young, a powerful Golden Core cultivator had taken a fancy to this girl's potential. He had contacted the Yi Family in advance and was prepared to take her in as a disciple.
However, something unexpected happened to Jin Dan Friar and he was seriously injured. He was forced to go into seclusion for ten years, which delayed Yi Xin's acceptance as a disciple. However, this matter was known to the Kunlun Party and the Yi Clan did not conceal it. Therefore, almost everyone in the Kunlun Mountains regarded Yi Xin as a disciple of the Kunlun Sect.
The two people who came with Yi Xin this time were also official disciples of the Kunlun Party. When they accepted the task of gathering the Dusk Fog Flower, they brought Yi Xin with them. Firstly, it was to show their closeness. Secondly, it was also to curry favor with Jin Dan Friar, who was rumored to be recovering from his injuries and coming out of seclusion. Once that powerful person came out of seclusion, it wouldn't be long before Yi Xin officially entered the Kunlun Party.
"Congratulations, congratulations," Lu Chen said to Yi Xin with a smile.
Yi Xin smiled and nodded. Looking at Lu Chen, she felt that this man's smile was gentle and his face was calm. He looked harmless, but he didn't have the cold murderous aura that he occasionally displayed in the Land of Chaos.
For a moment, Yi Xin was even in a trance. She felt that when she looked at Lu Chen, she was hallucinating. One was a man standing in the light with a gentle smile, the other was a cold and murderous demon hiding in the dark.
However, this kind of thinking was a bit ridiculous. Yi Xin shook her head to get rid of this boring thought and said goodbye to Lu Chen. Then, she waved at the dog standing next to her and said with a smile, "Atsu, come here, I'll take you home."
Atsu was the name they gave to the dog. Originally, Lu Chen had given the dog even more random and unpleasant names, such as "Hei Wang", "Hua", "Baldy" … In his words, the dog would run away sooner or later anyway, so there was no need to bother giving it a good name.
Finally, when Yi Xin saw that the dog was pitiful, she mustered up the courage to speak up for justice and argued for this unlucky dog. After refuting these unpleasant names one by one, the two reluctantly came up with a homonym for "Baldy" and simply called it Atsu.
Although it sounded rustic, it was at least down-to-earth and not particularly unpleasant. Although it still felt a little like calling a peasant dog, looking at Atsu's current appearance, not only was it bald, it was also wrapped in a lot of cloth strips. Coupled with that limping leg, it really didn't look good. It might not even be as good as a real peasant dog.
So a peasant dog … so be it. That was probably what Yi Xin thought helplessly at the time.
However, ever since they left the river valley in the Land of Chaos, Yi Xin had grown to like Atsu a little. Speaking of which, she grew up in the Yi Family, so her living conditions were naturally excellent. However, due to her strict upbringing, she had never raised a cat or a dog. Now, she really liked Atsu, which had been rather obedient these few days.
Lu Chen stood at the side and looked at Yi Xin in surprise. "You're … taking it home to raise?"
"Yes," Yi Xin said happily, "Atsu is also very pitiful. Look at how badly it's injured."
Lu Chen glanced at Ah-Tu who was standing not too far away from his feet. When he first found him, he was indeed severely injured. However, this dog had the bloodline of a demonic beast, so his recovery ability was astonishing. In just a few days, the wounds on his body had healed a lot, especially the injury on his broken leg. Although he couldn't change the fact that he was lame, he could still run after throwing away the wooden stick.
In comparison, the wooden stick in Yi Xin's hand was still there.
Lu Chen shrugged and said, "If you want to raise it, then raise it. Up to you."
"Atsu, come here." Yi Xin waved at the puppy with a smile on her face.
Atsu obediently wagged its tail and ran to her feet. Yi Xin squatted down and touched Atsu's bald head with a doting look on her face. "Atsu, say goodbye to Brother Lu. We're going home."
Atsu tilted its head and looked at Yi Xin with a pair of unusually bright eyes. Then, it barked twice.
Yi Xin laughed. She pointed at Lu Chen and said, "We're saying goodbye to Brother Lu. We're leaving soon."
Atsu blinked its eyes. It looked at Yi Xin, then looked back at Lu Chen. Then, it barked at Yi Xin again. Then, it turned around and ran to Lu Chen's side, lying down.
"Huh?"
Lu Chen and Yi Xin were stunned at the same time. It didn't look like it was going to say goodbye. After a while, Lu Chen suddenly frowned as if he thought of something. On the other side, Yi Xin ran over and reached out to hug Atsu. At the same time, she said, "Atsu, are you stupid? I mean …"
Before she finished speaking, the puppy shrank back and avoided Yi Xin's arm. Then, it hid behind Lu Chen.
This time, the meaning of Atsu couldn't be clearer. Yi Xin also stood up in shock. After a while, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said angrily, "Hey! Stinky Atsu, are you kidding me? These days, I'm the one who fed you, hugged you when you slept, and played with you normally. But now, you choose Brother Lu and not me? "
Atsu's bald head poked out from behind Lu Chen's calf. It looked a little sneaky. Then, it barked twice, as if admitting to it.
Lu Chen rolled his eyes.
Atsu rubbed its head against his leg and wagged its tail like a windmill. It looked like it was trying to flatter him.
Yi Xin rubbed her forehead with her hand. Then, she pointed at Atsu and said, "You, you, you …"
Lu Chen coughed and said, "Hmm … I can roughly guess the reason."
"What is it?" Yi Xin immediately asked.
"For millions of years, the Chaotic Lands has always been a dangerous world where the strong prey on the weak. The countless creatures here, including Demonic Beasts of all sizes, have long gotten used to this set of rules. So, when they are still small and weak, if they have a choice, all Demonic Beasts will follow their innate instincts and attach themselves to the stronger side … "Lu Chen looked at Yi Xin and smiled. He didn't finish his sentence.
Yi Xin stood rooted to the ground. Her pretty face was a little red. After a while, she said hatefully, "Damn it, even a little bastard like you is looking down on me!"
