LOT – Chapter 75 The Peacock Tames the Big Yellow Dog with a Dance

Wei Zheng’an and Qin Zheng tiptoed away like sneaky thieves. Anyone who didn’t know them would think they were about to steal something.

Just as they were finally about to reach the corner, the system suddenly piped up: 【Hey hey hey! I found someone who can help you! The peacock and the dumb beauty are here!】

Peacock Wei Zheng’an: …

Dumb Beauty Qin Zheng: …

That “dumb beauty” nickname came from the system. It thought that although Qin Zheng was good-looking, his brain was… not quite right.

He actually used himself as bait to tempt his nemesis—what if he had fallen into his own trap? Thus, the system concluded that this was the kind of beautiful idiot known as a “dumb beauty.”

Lin Mo turned and indeed saw the two of them sneaking around like criminals.

“Peacock! You two, hurry up and help me get rid of this dog!”

She really couldn’t hold it in much longer—she was on the verge of exploding.

Wei Zheng’an took a deep breath and pushed Qin Zheng, saying, “You go help!”

Qin Zheng widened his eyes and protested, “Why should I?! She called you!”

Yeah right—did he look that dumb? He already knew why his father had come back late that night. It was all because this Little Master Lin dragged him into a gossip incident.

He hadn’t even joined the hunting trip, yet somehow he got implicated. Truly baffling.

Lin Mo waited for a long time but didn’t see them approach. She finally exploded: “I’ll count to three! Get over here now!”

The two of them jumped at her roar. It was deep and powerful—if you didn’t know better, you’d think it was some burly man yelling.

Even the system couldn’t help but comment: 【Mind your image a little. You’re a proper young lady—don’t make your voice so rough. And don’t forget you’re holding in a poop! Be careful you don’t shout so hard it explodes out!】

Wei Zheng’an and Qin Zheng (creeping forward): …

To think the poop-holding Lin Mo is this terrifying. What a fearsome woman!

The big yellow dog below wasn’t intimidated in the slightest by their arrival. It even snarled twice as if saying, “What are you gonna do?”

Wei Zheng’an gulped nervously and cautiously kicked at it, “Shoo! Go away!”

But the next second, the dog chomped down on his boot.

Wei Zheng’an let out a blood-curdling scream—and then started breakdancing and doing street dance moves on the spot.

He tried to use his dancing skills to tame the dog, but no matter how hard he tried, the dog still bit onto his boot and wouldn’t let go.

Lin Mo and the system were both stunned.

The system murmured dreamily: 【Who would’ve thought this flashy peacock actually has such dancing talent? Impressive!】

Lin Mo nodded in agreement: 【Truly impressive. Oh, he even threw in a floor move—beautiful!】

Wei Zheng’an, who was desperately trying to shake the dog off: …

Dance, my foot! I’m clearly struggling here! I became like this for whom? I got bitten by a dog for whom?!

Qin Zheng looked at him with sympathy, then quickly took two steps back.

Bro, it’s not that I don’t want to help you—this dog is just too ferocious.

Qin Zheng watched the man-and-dog tangle for a moment and realized their battle might not end any time soon. So he quickly shouted up into the tree, “Lord Lin! Hurry and come down! The dog is already distracted by Young Master Wei!”

Lin Mo snapped back to her senses and quickly nodded. Then, sticking her butt out, she began to wriggle her way down.

As for Wei Zheng’an, who was still locked in a life-and-death struggle with the dog—well, it seemed no one was paying attention to him now.

Once Lin Mo was down, she stood pigeon-toed, her face contorted in pain.

She hadn’t felt this urgent up in the tree, but why did it feel worse now that she was on the ground? Was it because she’d now been affected by gravity?

The system said: 【Hold it just a little longer! Go tame that dog first! The peacock only started fighting it because of you—no wait, it’s you who got beaten by the dog because of you! I’ll activate your protection protocol. Go!】

Lin Mo nodded with a twisted expression and took bold, disjointed steps toward the dog.

She had no choice—she was already at her limit!

Qin Zheng looked at Wei Zheng’an, still locked in battle with the dog, then at Lin Mo, who was inching forward in pain, and felt extremely conflicted inside.

Wei Zheng’an was holding his own against the dog. With these dancing skills, he could easily debut center stage in a boy band.

As Wei Zheng’an kept fighting the dog farther and farther away, Lin Mo finally lost it and shouted, “Can you not fight while moving?! Come over here already! I need you here to save you! I can’t move fast!”

Wei Zheng’an, running while fighting, also broke down and yelled, “Do you think I want to run?! It’s chasing me nonstop!”

System: …

Qin Zheng: …

Soon, the street was filled with a strange sight: a handsome young noble battling fiercely with a dog, both of them attacking and dodging in sync, like a pair of well-matched rivals who admired each other.

Behind them was a young woman inching forward with a painful expression. Her pigeon-toed zombie-like steps looked particularly ridiculous.

The woman was shouting in frustration, “If you run any farther, I’m leaving you behind!”

The young noble in front was also yelling, “It’s not like I want to run! If I stop, it bites me!”

Oh, and following behind them was another noble young man with a handsome face, wearing an extremely complicated expression—indescribably so.

The commoners on the street: …

What’s going on this time? What’s wrong with all the wealthy families in the capital lately? First it was the pig-riding trend, now it’s fashionable to fight dogs? Don’t young nobles have sparring partners to practice martial arts with? Since when did dogs become sparring partners?

While Lin Mo was struggling painfully in the middle of the street, her two pigs had already pulled her empty wheelchair home.

Looking at the empty chair, the Lin family members were filled with question marks.

“Where is she?! Why did the pigs come back without her?!”

Even Lin Ran’s voice cracked as he yelled.

The rake (Ding Pa): “Oink oink.”

The Lin family: …What’s the use of you oinking? We don’t understand pig!

Everyone exchanged glances, suddenly feeling a bad premonition.

Minister Lin and Lin Qi rushed outside, while Lin Ran and Madam Lin immediately sent people out to search. The family divided the task clearly and efficiently.

As soon as Minister Lin and Lin Qi hit the street, they heard the gossip among the crowd.

They overheard that noble sons were now sparring with dogs for martial arts training, and at that moment, they both instantly thought of their family’s resident troublemaker.

Something that ridiculous—of course she’d be involved.

Father and son asked around and headed in the direction the gossip pointed. By the time they found the group, they were almost at the city outskirts.

What they saw was Wei Zheng’an and the dog both lying on the ground, seemingly dead, while their household demon Lin Mo was clutching her butt and wailing in despair. Behind her, someone was digging a hole, saying as he worked, “Lord Lin, just hold on a little longer! The pit is almost ready! Soon you can relieve yourself!”

Minister Lin and Lin Qi: …What the hell is going on now?!
