Chapter 40 The dog mutated
Han Yi stood there quietly, tilting his head slightly, closing his eyes gently, completely immersed in the melodious music. Ah, it had been so long since he had heard such a pleasant tune. The music was just like before, tinkling and permeating his heart, making him feel incredibly comfortable.
His face held a hint of intoxication, as if the music was a clear spring that could wash away all the filth in one's heart, leaving one feeling completely refreshed.
The woman's fingers plucked the strings for a long time before the music gradually faded away, like the receding tide, until it fell completely silent.
At that moment, the woman slowly raised her head and, coincidentally, spotted Han Yi. Their eyes met, and for a moment neither of them uttered a sound, simply gazing at each other silently.
For the past six months, the woman has come here every day without fail to play a tune. From the day she parted ways with Han Yi in this pavilion until today, a full six months have passed.
To be honest, she didn't particularly like Han Yi, but she didn't dislike him either. This guy was really handsome, like he stepped out of a painting, and he seemed to have a special kind of charm that made him unforgettable after just one glance, and she would think about him several times in her mind even when she was going to sleep at night.
Seeing him again today, Mu Qingwan's heart pounded like a rabbit's, her face flushing red and then pale. She first bit her lip shyly, then her eyes lit up with anticipation.
Han Yi smiled slightly, revealing a gentle smile, but he didn't move his feet. He turned around and strolled slowly away along the bluestone path by the lake.
Mu Qingwan stared longingly at Han Yi's receding figure, a hollow feeling washing over her. The disappointment was like a piece of candy she'd just received suddenly falling to the ground. She'd thought this philandering prince, who used to cling to her like a leech whenever he saw her, would surely come looking for trouble again today. But it turned out he had no such intentions at all.
Fine, she gritted her teeth and took the initiative to ask the guest to stay. Her voice was as clear and bright as a nightingale's song: "I've read all the stories you left behind. I want to know if Mara and Roy ended up together?"
"I'm tired today, let's talk another day." Han Yi said this without even turning his head, his voice indifferent, and he walked further and further away. His back looked like a soulless walking corpse, swaying unsteadily.
"He...lost his happiness..." Mu Qingwan stared blankly in the direction Han Yi had gone, muttering this sentence to herself, her face gloomy as if it were about to rain.
“Tell them they can start moving!” she said through gritted teeth to the person next to her.
Han Yi was in a daze and unknowingly walked to the front of Tingfengxuan Courtyard.
He had lived in this place for three years. When he came back today, everything looked familiar, but it also felt different from before.
As soon as Han Yi entered the courtyard, he saw a large, white figure, as big as a small mountain, standing in front of the door of a separate house in Tingfeng Pavilion.
From a distance, it looks like a tall, magnificent horse, but upon closer inspection, it is much stronger than an ordinary horse.
The light was dim and the distance was quite far, so Han Yi couldn't see clearly. He felt a surge of anger: These servants were too audacious. They hadn't seen him for half a year and dared to use his yard as a stable.
He strode forward with great speed and quick steps, his belly full of displeasure.
After taking only a few steps, the white shadow let out a howl that shook the ground.
"What is that? It's not a horse!" Han Yi's heart tightened, and he quickly moved forward. When he was about twenty steps away from the white figure, he could finally see it clearly.
Is this a wolf? No, there's no way a wolf could be this big! This creature was chained up with an iron chain as thick as a bowl, exuding a mysterious and majestic aura, like a mythical beast that stepped out of ancient mythology.
It had a large head, ears that stood up high, and a body as strong as an ox. Its fur was thick and fluffy, and in the dim light, it was so white and translucent, like snow that had just fallen under the moonlight, so clean that it was impossible to look away.
Han Yi frowned, looking at the huge creature with a puzzled expression, wondering to himself: When did I ever raise such a behemoth? Could it be a surprise from my father?
"What is this thing?" Han Yi couldn't help but shout at the servant next to him.
Upon hearing this, the servant quickly bowed and nodded, replying respectfully, "Your Highness, this is the dog you brought back from hunting the other day."
"Big Yellow?" Han Yi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he heard this, his face full of disbelief.
Big Yellow used to be quite big, but it wasn't this big! Besides, Big Yellow has yellow fur, while this guy has all white fur. How do they match up?
He couldn't hide the surprise on his face. "Are you sure this is the one I brought back from hunting that day?"
Han Yi was not giving up and asked another question, his mind full of questions.
The servants nearby nodded in agreement.
At this moment, two more servants came running over and bowed to Han Yi.
These two were specifically responsible for taking care of Dahuang. The dog was too big and disobedient, and ordinary people really couldn't handle it, so they found two capable cultivators.
"What's going on?" Han Yi asked them.
Upon seeing the prince's question, the two dared not be negligent and recounted the whole story in detail.
"The day you left, the dog's wounds healed on their own. After that, it was as if it had eaten some kind of magic pill; its fur gradually turned white, and it grew bigger and bigger, and then it became like this."
The two of them looked completely bewildered, clearly unable to understand why Da Huang had changed so much.
Upon hearing this, Han Yi's face was filled with disbelief.
He then turned his gaze to the so-called Big Yellow, scrutinizing it from head to toe.
Looking at the big, white thing in front of him, Han Yi felt like his mind was in turmoil, and he just couldn't understand how Big Yellow had turned out like this.
Han Yi walked over to Da Huang and took a good look at the dog to see what was wrong with it.
To everyone's surprise, as soon as Da Huang saw him coming, it bared its teeth and looked like it wanted to eat him. The two cultivators next to it were so frightened that they stepped forward and stood in front of Han Yi, afraid that this beast would hurt the young master.
Han Yi waved to them, indicating that everything was alright.
He was confident. He had a beast-taming ring on hand, which was specifically designed to deal with spirit beasts. This thing could easily handle ordinary weak spirit beasts, and this mutated ordinary dog in front of him would definitely be no problem.
