"Peeing on people, isn't that a bit too much?"
Ah Qing looked torn, instinctively glancing at Xiaolan's belly, as if asking: Xiaolan, have you done something like this before?
"Hey, during mating season when they're marking their territory, there's nothing they won't do."
"However, with Ah Bai around, any public urination results in confiscating their tools of mischief, so now the dogs queue up at the flower beds."
Ansheng shrugged, explaining, then continued looking at Ah Qing, "We'll talk about Jiule City's dogs later. For now, help me make a video call to Lin Hao, I have something to ask him."
"Ah Bai's dislocated thigh couldn't have been caused by a motorcycle accident; there must have been a battle between Overlord Spirit Beasts in Jiule City last night."
The motorcyclist was so cooperative, plus he worked under Lin Hao.
No need to think hard, clearly Ah Bai suffered during the battle, got injured, and Grandma Hedgehog used a car accident to cover up for Ah Bai.
Otherwise, if Ah Bai suddenly came home limping, it wouldn't be able to go out until after New Year.
"Brother Lin's call..."
Ah Qing searched the Weixin list, found Lin Hao's Weixin number, and made a video call.
A moment later, the Weixin call connected, showing Lin Hao with flushed cheeks, wearing a private hospital patient gown, appearing sickly on the video.
"Hey! What brings you to call me?" Lin Hao forced a smile and greeted Ah Qing.
"Brother Lin, you're..."
Seeing Lin Hao's hospital background on the video, Ah Qing showed a hint of surprise, asking if he was alright.
"It's nothing, just a few days ago at the construction site, I accidentally stepped on a rotten board, fell into the ocean, pneumonia."
Lin Hao spoke nonchalantly, "I'll be better after a couple more days of IV drops. Tell me about yours!"
"It's me."
Ansheng pinched Ah Qing's arm, poked his head into the video, and spoke to Lin Hao.
"This..."
Lin Hao was startled, eyes widening, glancing back and forth between Master Fuli and Ah Qing.
"I'll talk to Ah Qing later when there's time. I'm here to ask about Ah Bai, which Spirit Beast hasn't been properly neutered, bold as brass!"
Ansheng showed displeasure, raised his paw, and slapped it on the wooden sofa.
"Don't they know Jiule, Hanyang, and Wenling are Homeless House territory? Is it because Master Fuli has been abroad too long, planning a rebellion?"
The Spirit Beast Gang territory, starting from Jiule, has expanded its domain to surrounding counties, currently governing the stray pets in three urban streets.
"Uh..."
Lin Hao saw Master Fuli's anger and shrank his neck, weakly responding:
"...Not land Spirit Beasts; Old Bai tried to claim the deep sea territory last night, ensuring Qingao Island and surrounding seas are under Homeless House management."
"The orcas rule the shallow seas, but according to Security Bureau intelligence, the deep sea belongs to a giant fish."
"That thing, estimated over two hundred tons..." Lin Hao trembled raising two fingers, "When it surfaced before, the Security Bureau would use missiles to drive it back."
"Last night's operation failed, Old Bai covered our retreat, we swam madly at sea for two hours before reaching shore, avoiding the terrifying giant creature's hunt..."
"However, we didn't suffer much; Old Bai used the meat cannon to severely wound the giant fish, and the Security Bureau's hypersonic missiles hit it over a dozen times..."
In Lin Hao's description, the shark-like creature had a body length of over thirty meters, with a sleek predatory design.
The muscles all over its body were incredibly toned, visible lines showing, its fins resembling curved blades.
In addition, there were tentacle-like things on its back.
The operation failed because no one expected it actually had arms, grabbing a sperm whale as a shield to block the mutant gunfire.
Ah Bai was dumbfounded at the time.
The Megalodon leapt up, creating massive waves, overturning all the boats in the siege.
When Ah Bai used the mutation gun to cover the retreat, it was struck in the leg by the Megalodon wielding the sperm whale.
Later, only when the Security Bureau's fleet arrived did they manage to force the Megalodon back to the ocean floor.
The sea is the Megalodon's domain; land creatures are inherently disadvantaged, the raid failed, and they could only flee wildly to avoid becoming shark food.
"Two hundred tons? Two hundred-ton kings! Is the deep sea really so abundant with food?"
Ansheng slowly popped a question mark, and Ah Qing was perplexed, feeling like hearing a myth.
"According to the Security Bureau, it's based on estimated muscle density comparable to a great white shark, a lateral comparison," Lin Hao sniffed confidently.
The Security Bureau evaluated, and two hundred tons is still a conservative estimate.
There were over two hundred people, with a dozen Spirit Beasts soaking in the winter sea for two hours; although no lives were lost, most ended up in the hospital.
The Megalodon's prowess and wisdom are incredibly far-reaching.
If they hadn't run fast, it would have grabbed coral reef from the seabed as clubs to swing.
"My goodness!"
"Let me know when Ah Bai's discharged; if I don't remove its fin for shark fin soup, I won't live up to my reputation!"
Ansheng looked peculiar, smacked his lips, struggling to picture a hundred-ton shark based on Lin Hao's abstract narration.
"By the way, Grandma Hedgehog, is her hedgehog okay?"
"Thank you, Master Fuli. Grandma's health is fine, just a bit of indigestion..." Lin Hao seemed to recall something, speaking awkwardly.
Last night's waves were quite large; they got separated in the dark storm.
The Golden Hedgehog ended up alone, hugging the shipboard, drifting all night until Security Bureau brought it back home when the sun rose.
After bringing grandma home.
It was no longer a hedgehog but more like Godzilla.
"Nuclear breath" sprayed wildly, grabbing last night's swimming champions and giving them a thrashing.
The whole village is now trembling.
"Well... As long as she's okay, tell her to get ready for the next hunt, and have Old Feng ready some tools to drag the fish back."
Knowing the Spirit Beast Gang is fine, Ansheng shook his head, ending the video call, not bothering Lin Hao's rest.
After ending the Weixin call, Ansheng suddenly felt a faint gaze from behind.
Ansheng turned around, seeing Ah Qing staring wide-eyed at him.
Ansheng had a thoughtful expression, took a step back, rested his head on Ah Qing's leg, and side-eyed her, joyfully cooing, "Ying ying ying~"
"Ying ying ying!"
Ah Qing glared, immediately cooed back, slipping her hands under the little fox's armpits, lifting him up.
"Someone was watching earlier, I couldn't reprimand you, but now it's just us and a little White Wolf in the room, I've got to say..."
"You're under twenty pounds, how can you claim to tackle a two-hundred-ton beast?"
"Woof~"
The White Wolf raised its front paw, politely correcting Ah Qing's mistake.
It's a registered Husky, not the White Wolf Ah Qing mentioned.
At the Security Bureau, life is good; when bones get caught in its teeth, there's someone to clean them out.
If it were a wild wolf, finding someone to clean its teeth would be tough.
