After school, he was then offered himself to a succubus.

Chapter 128 Going Back to the Past to Step on Your Back

Do you have a name?

"Woof?"

The thin little wolf whimpered in confusion, meaning that she didn't know she had a name.

"There isn't one?" Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment, and then the words popped up again in front of him.

Every time you go out, you promise her that as long as she behaves as promised and stays chained here, you will come back for her.

Even after you faked your death, she kept this promise in mind. After learning to read for the first time, she named herself "Yinuo." "Li" is the first of the Hundred Family Surnames. She chose this surname to put your promise first.

For centuries, she has remained true to her promise, unmoved by wind, rain, and the changing times.

During this time, she heard the wild geese in the sky talk about the Bitter Love Tree. She didn't know it was you, but she knew that the Bitter Love Tree could prolong your life and perhaps allow you to come back and take her home...

Every day, she would ask a flock of birds to bring her a leaf of bittersweet sorrow.

The leaves of the bittersweet tree can be used to pray for your lover. She feels that you are the one she loves, but she is not too afraid to admit it. Just thinking about it makes her feel happy.

So, her most anticipated thing each day was a leaf falling from the sky; she would put that leaf in her mouth and...

You pray for a long and healthy life—even if making a wish to the bitter love tree will devour her life, causing her already frail body to grow increasingly thin.

During this time, she met the snow-covered magpie. She was surprised to discover that the magpie, like her, ate the leaves of the bitter jasmine tree. Every autumn, the magpie would come here to make it snow, sharing with her its longing for its master...

She slowly came to understand that her love for you, like that of a sparrow, had surpassed that of a puppy for its owner. She felt terrible for having such thoughts, and she thought, perhaps that's why you left her...

But she can't help loving you.

【】

"You can call him Li Yinuo," Zhang Chen said, deciding not to change the puppy's name.

But the underlying meaning needs to be changed.

The homonym of Li Yinuo is "you Yinuo," which can also be seen as a reminder to himself that he cannot forget this promise made a thousand years ago.

The two purest forms of love in the world are: one is the love a mother has for her child.

Another kind is probably the love a puppy has for its owner.

Big dogs are another story.

Li Yinuo was quite cute as a puppy, but she was too skinny, her fur was a deep purplish-black, and her little tail looked like an electric whirlwind.

It has a fan, and a "Y"-shaped white hair on its chest, like a bib.

All four little paws are white, making it look like they're wearing white gloves.

No wonder Zhang Chen always felt that the skin on Li Yinuo's hands and feet in real life was slightly lighter.

"Woof woof!" The puppy was unusually excited when it saw Zhang Chen looking at her so seriously. Its ears stood up, and it pounced on him, licking its tongue.

It seems that he is quite pleased with her name.

Zhang Chen picked her up... Hmm... She was a little shabby, probably because of the lack of water in the desert and the fact that she didn't bathe often.

The first thing Zhang Chen did was to remove her shackles and chains.

Then you can see the bloody marks around the puppy's neck, which have been worn down over time.

Before Zhang Chen could even feel sorry for the dog, it bit his hand again, preventing him from unlocking the shackles, and let out a pitiful whimper.

Zhang Chen paused for a moment. Li Yinuo meant that he should not leave her.

Oh... the puppy mistakenly thought that after naming her and then unchaining her, he was going to drive her away.

When the puppy bites your hand, it does so very gently, and you can feel the sad breath coming from its mouth as it whimpers.

Those innocent, pitiful purple eyes stared straight at him. Zhang Chen couldn't understand how he could be so heartless.

He could sense that this wasn't entirely his true intention. He might indeed be someone who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, but he wouldn't be this cruel.

Even when they burned the cat, they didn't completely extract all its value and spared its life.

Zhang Chen stroked the puppy's head, his gaze drifting to the window... The yang energy within him, originating from a thousand years ago, slowly revived, accumulated, and surged, as if he had encountered an old friend—who was also an enemy.

Through the beast's eyes, Zhang Chen saw the second generation of Xi Xi hundreds of miles away. She was enveloped in an aura that made him uncomfortable—an aura that could be described as "divine will"...

It turned out to be the case.

Whether it's the company, the mysterious spirit, or these tragedies, they are all deliberate misfortunes orchestrated by fate.

I don't know when I discovered this, but thankfully I did.

Zhang Chen touched a sword wound on his shoulder again, which must be where the second generation of tide tide Jiang had stabbed him.

Even now, a chilling aura still lingers on that wound, which is likely due to the influence of this Eastern herb.

Zhang Chen forced the thought away with his yang energy, and it suddenly dissipated.

Then, Zhang Chen squeezed the puppy's muzzle, forcing Li Yinuo to bite through his skin and drink his blood.

The puppy looked at him with a shocked expression and immediately began to struggle, but Zhang Chen still held onto her muzzle.

Until the wound on her neck was completely healed.

The puppy felt the pain lessen, but its two little paws still clung tightly to Zhang Chen's arm, as if afraid he would leave.

"Li Yinuo?"

"Li Yinuo?"

Zhang Chen called out twice before the puppy slowly licked him, clearly not very familiar with the name.

The puppy was trembling, her voice pleading almost desperately, because she realized she hadn't reacted to Zhang Chen's call.

Making a mistake means giving up.

Last time, it was because she bit someone that Zhang Chen hit her and abandoned her...

"Don't be afraid."

But this time was different. Zhang Chen's voice was so gentle that she couldn't believe it, afraid that this was just a dream, just a dream before Zhang Chen left her.

Sugar-coated bullets.

"It was my fault," Zhang Chen said again, almost pulling her into his arms. "I will never abandon you again."

The puppy didn't understand complicated language, so Zhang Chen's words were just right—simple, straightforward, and direct.

The dog's tail peeked out from under his arm, wagging tentatively at first, then gradually becoming more and more cheerful.

But deep anxiety was hidden in the eyes of those little dogs.

Zhang Chen understood that the trauma this had caused Li Yinuo could not be undoed with just a few words.

He never expected to win her back so easily.

"Can you transform?" Zhang Chen asked again.

"Woof?" The puppy's ear drooped down, not understanding Zhang Chen's meaning.

"So you can become a human? Can't you turn into a beautiful girl?"

When Zhang Chen asked that question, the puppy immediately shrank its neck, not daring to look at him, and whimpered a few times.

It means that she had suddenly turned into a human before, but every time she turned into a human, Zhang Chen would grab her by the neck, grab her and beat her, which hurt her a lot, and he warned her not to turn into a human again.

So she stayed in puppy mode. Being a puppy was fine; she was willing to be Zhang Chen's puppy forever.

"Try to transform yourself."

"Woof..." The puppy shook its head, thinking that Zhang Chen was going to hit it.

"Alright, let me give you a bath first before you change." Zhang Chen picked up the puppy and looked at it. It was indeed filthy, with mud and sand all over its fur.

He carried her out of the courtyard, picked up a large wooden bucket, filled it with water, and started heating it in a pot.

During this time, Li Yinuo thought Zhang Chen was going to boil her alive, until she was soaking in warm water and realized she was taking a bath.

I showered with Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen's skill in washing puppies was exceptionally high, which made her a little sad. Did Zhang Chen often bathe other puppies?

The puppy covered its eyes in the water, too afraid to look. Even though it was a dog, it knew to respect its privacy.

Every morning when the yang energy is strongest, she would uncontrollably drool over Zhang Chen, and she had fantasized countless times about how wonderful it would be if Zhang Chen helped her grind her teeth...

She could only grind her teeth on the stones by the roadside, and sometimes she would hit her teeth and bleed.

Are you losing your baby teeth?

Zhang Chen washed the puppy with skillful technique while looking at its teeth.

He remembered that Li Yinuo's canine teeth were like this; teeth that should have been sharp were flat. It wasn't that they were ugly, but they just lacked distinctiveness.

For example, Bai Nuoyan's tiger teeth are extremely sharp; they could easily carve a tattoo on Zhang Chen.

In reality, Li Yinuo lied to him, saying that he had broken it by hitting it too hard. How could that be?

It's probably because the puppy didn't grind its teeth properly during its teething period, and it's also been living in a state of constant fear and anxiety, so it's normal for its teeth to wear out.

Zhang Chen pondered for a moment, then removed the puppy's paw from its eyes: "Let's grind it."

"Woof?"

"Use it freely, it's fine."

He now understood why Li Yinuo was so keen on grinding her teeth in the future.

It turns out it was to make up for the regrets of his childhood.

But Li Yinuo tried to make up for this regret a year ago, but she was unsuccessful.

Zhang Chen could sense that in reality, Li Yinuo was never in a high mood, and often even cried halfway through her coping sessions.

At first, Zhang Chen wickedly thought that the puppy was too impatient.

But as the incidents occurred more and more frequently, it became clear that Li Yinuo had realized that no matter what she did, she couldn't change anything; no matter what, her regrets and grievances would disappear with her death...

Zhang Chen would never know any of this, and she didn't want him to know either.

Just like Li Yinuo's new book that she has been unable to write for a long time, in fact, it is because she dares not write about the grief at that time. It is like eating back her heart that was shattered, letting the pieces of sadness scratch her body, spitting them out, eating them back in... and so on.

Those tears contained so many emotions.

A thousand years of loyalty, love, pain, and expectation—none of it can come to an end.

Taking a bath in the desert is a hassle. Even though they were in an oasis, it still took them almost two hours to bathe.

The freshly washed puppy nestled in his arms, tilting its head back, panting with its tongue lolling out, its mouth stretched into a wide grin just like the future Li Yinuo's, with a faint smile.

It turns out that Li Yinuo had that inexplicably friendly smile since she was a child.

When dogs breathe, their breath is much gentler than cats'.

As the stars and rivers of life turn in the sky, this village transforms into a small market at night, attracting many merchants riding camels.

Someone took a liking to the puppy in his arms and offered a high price.

Upon hearing this, the puppy immediately began to paw at Zhang Chen.

"Priceless," Zhang Chen said.

Then some girls from the desert tribes would come to watch, it was unclear whether they were watching him or this inexplicably pretty and cute little wolf.

Zhang Chen held her, only letting her dog head peek out, his words revealing his possessiveness.

The starry sky a thousand years ago was truly beautiful. Holding the puppy, Zhang Chen had the illusion that he lacked nothing.

Zhang Chen kissed her dog's mouth, and she was taken aback, not understanding what Zhang Chen meant.

Unfortunately, he didn't know how to sing the dog song, but he figured it must be incredibly sad, so he decided not to learn it.

There was a mulberry tree in the yard. Mulberry trees really can grow anywhere. It produced a lot of mulberries. Zhang Chen picked some. They tasted a little astringent, but they had a kind of natural deliciousness.

A rough-looking man across from the courtyard gate, taking advantage of the crowd, came over and said he wanted his mulberry tree to raise silkworms.

Pay a few taels of silver.

Zhang Chen smiled when he saw the silkworm demon in his hand, which possessed a trace of intelligence. He told him that he didn't need money, but he should take good care of the silkworm and remember not to go too far from home, because it would bring him a gift far more valuable than silk in the future.

The puppy looked up at him when it heard this.

Zhang Chen also looked at Li Yinuo and read a hint of humanity in her puppy's eyes.

"I won't go too far from home," Zhang Chen said. "I won't leave you in the future."

The puppy's eyelashes fluttered, and it whimpered. Whether it believed or not, it lay down and gnawed on its paw. Halfway through, it gagged and then coughed.

"You were grinding too fast just now, be careful next time." Zhang Chen fed her some water.

"Lamb stew with bread~ Lamb!" Just then, a vendor's cry came from outside the courtyard, and a small stall set up on the street, the aroma of meat filling the air.

Zhang Chen bought two bowls, deliberately teasing the puppy's appetite.

"Come inside and eat."

"Woof..."

As he entered the house, the puppy lay under the table, gazing at him expectantly.

"No, you have to become a human and eat at the table," Zhang Chen said. "From now on, you have to think of yourself as a monster, not a dog. You have to eat at the table."

The puppy hesitated, drooling all over the ground.

"Change quickly."

"Woof..."

"Don't worry, I won't hit you."

Hearing this and smelling the aroma of meat, the puppy jumped onto the bed, hid under the covers, and whined and fussed around for a while, until a small bulge suddenly appeared under the covers.

The girl's long legs uncontrollably emerged from under the covers. She was clearly uncomfortable with her transformed state and couldn't distinguish between her hands and feet for a moment.

Her skin was smooth and fair, looking delicate and fragile. The soles of her feet were pink and tender, like ripe peaches, and glistened with a bit of nervous sweat.

Before long, her head slowly peeked out, first revealing a pair of curved, furry ears, like half a Doritos chip, which looked interesting to blow on.

At this time, Li Yinuo did not yet have long, straight black hair. Her black hair had not yet reached her waist; it had just reached her shoulders. Her facial features and expression were still exquisite, perfectly embodying the beauty that comes from within.

However, the girl's appearance was still too immature.

She was not yet a full-grown girl, but her face was fair and her cheeks were delicate and charming.

In the future, Li Yinuo will likely look to be around twenty years old, so right now she's at most...

I'm old... not old.

Although a transformed monster is considered an adult... its appearance is hard to say.

However, he didn't have many other options.

You have to be firm in correcting the puppy's mental block; even if he can't get over it himself, you have to do it anyway.

"Ah!"

Startled awake, Ye Zhi grabbed her club president in fear, "What's wrong with you in the middle of the night?"

"I..."

Li Yinuo, who was convulsing uncontrollably, clutched her stomach, her face flushed, and her eyes were almost glazed over with shock.

She sobbed for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "There...there's a loli fetishist..."
