  "Be quiet!" A hoof knocked on the black heart. It immediately felt a horrible aura of high-level Demon.

  "Gawu?" It stopped struggling, because its instinct was warning it.

  It was an aura that wasn't inferior to its ancestor, the three-headed demon dog, Cerberus!

  Qumran gradually took back its memory, and it remembered it now!

  It had died! After it gained wisdom, it hadn't even enjoyed its new life for 24 hours.

  "My honourable master, why did you save it?" Childe Yun He looked at the Black Demon Dog's pounding black heart with discontent.

  Even though he was the evil god, Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli's first subordinate, this was the first time he saw this power.

  As a strong evil god, Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli could even reverse life and death.

  "Its physique... isn't bad... and its bloodline... is very rare..." The white alpaca knocked its hoof at a snail's pace, then a weird power emerged out of Qumran's twisted heart.

  "Roarrr!" A continuous creepy howl echoed inside the basement.

  Chapter 357: The Real Target

  "So, Mei'er, you mistook it for someone else?" Yun Xi said as he held Mei'er walking on the street.

  "Yes! It wasn't it! I sensed a dog who had just awakened its wisdom, but not this monster!" Mei'er wiped off her tears with her small paws.

  What a big mistake!

  To be chased by a big black dog crying... it would become her lifetime psychological shadow!

  "A dog who just awakened its wisdom... is that real?" Yun Xi doubted.

  "I'm sure! The secret treasure's effect was strong! Maybe the chances are slim, but I know I can find my subordinates here!" Mei'er didn't want to give up.

  The dogs who just gained wisdom may be at a loss as for what to do and didn't look any different to common dogs, but as they got used to using their brains, they would feel lonely and start to think what they were.

  Mei'er wanted to look for these dogs, because they had great potentials.

  If she found them and taught them, they could be her master's helpers! As a star spirit who wasn't good at fighting, this was Mei'er's plan.

  "Hum, what kind of dogs is it easy to gain wisdom?" Yun Xi changed the topic.

  "Well... the dogs who were smart from the beginning?" Mei'er said in a hesitant tone.

  "I think the black dog is very smart." Yun Xi teased.

  Indeed, the Black Demon Dog met all the requirements of Mei'er.

  It was smart, fierce and strong enough to kill any common hero ranked being. Green hippos were far inferior to it.

  Unfortunately, it wasn't a real dog but a war machine of the Demons. Black Demon Dog was a demon shadow creature taking a "wolf" as its prototype, known for its daredevil character and man-eating habit.

  "Only a dead Black Demon Dog is a docile dog!" As this appeared in Yun Xi's mind again, he sighed.

  The Killing Princess' heritage was much more powerful than his imagination.

  Hua Huo, the rank of this "gift" is too high!

  Yun Xi clearly remembered his body when he entered the "Killing Princess Mode".

  In the battle with the Black Demon Dog, his mental speed, faculty of judgment and control of force to the twin swords had all been greatly increased.

  His physical quality wasn't changed, but he could naturally kill the Black Demon Dog easily. Since it was strong enough to kill any common hero ranked being, this meant he could defeat most hero ranked beings in this mode.

  It made Yun Xi associate it with his childhood sweetheart, Hua Huo. Undoubtedly, her combat power was also far beyond the limit of common hero ranked beings, although she herself hadn't reached the hero rank.

  It couldn't have been a power that belonged to Yun Xi himself. When his body used that power, he felt that he wasn't himself, but he also didn't totally lose control of himself at that time.

  Pleasure! Pleasure!

  Excitement! Excitement!

  He didn't remember if he had ever entered this mode in the Water God's world.

  "Demons... must die, even if it was just a dog!" Yun Xi murmured. He vaguely figured out the launch condition of this mode.

  It must be a strong spirit that was possessing the black maid uniform. Once the owner of the maid uniform encountered anything about Demons, it would wake up and prepare to fight.

  "Even though you are already dead... you can't let it go..." Yun Xi knew the Killing Princess had died many years ago, but her spirit of killing Demons was still attached to the maid uniform. Perhaps she fought till the last second of her life.

  Only a strong spirit could get rid of the time wasting effect.

  Even though she had died, even though her body had turned into dust, she wouldn't stop fighting till the last Demon was killed.

  Her endless waltz hadn't finished yet. Through the maid uniform, her spirit would be inherited from generation to generation.

  "Sniff... sniff..." While Yun Xi was lost in thought, Mei'er suddenly sniffed and looked around.

  "What's the matter?" Yun Xi stopped and looked around in confusion.

  "I smelt it! There is a wise dog around!" Mei'er jumped to Yun Xi's shoulder.

  I won't mistake it this time! It's a smell from a real dog!

  In some sense, half of her kind was here.

  Not all cats or dogs could gain wisdom easily. The Black Demon Dog was a good example. It gained wisdom because its bloodline was very special. As a power of a miracle, wisdom wasn't something that easy to born.

  Most creatures were unworthy of gaining wisdom, even if they were very strong and that could even kill ordinary people easily.

  The lights of the White Lotus Secret Treasure were like keys, arousing the old bloodline in the creatures' bodies. However, if there were no "special bloodlines" in their bodies, the lights couldn't do anything to their brains.

  Almost all beings in the sword tip area obtained the lights from the secret treasure, but not too many common animals had gained wisdom from it.

  "Be quick, master. Quickly, the smell of the dog is becoming weaker and weaker." Mei'er ran on the ground, leading Yun Xi into a garden in an alley.

  Finally, Yun Xi and Mei'er found the lucky little life behind a rockery.

  Chapter 358: Death and Rebirth

  Quickly, Yun Xi and Mei'er found the target under the rockery.

  It was an abandoned pet dog with a broken bell hanging on its neck.

  However, they came too late.

  Due to undernourishment, its black and white fur had become dim, and one of its paws seemed to be gnawed by something.

  There were several pieces of moldy bread in front of its crouched body, but it had no strength to move and could only look at the food with its helpless eyes.

  However, in its black pupils, they reflected the lights of wisdom!

  "No... it's dying!" Mei'er looked at it in surprise. She couldn't tell what kind of dog it was, but it must have a very special bloodline.

  Unfortunately, a special bloodline wasn't almighty. This dog should have fallen into this bad condition before it gained wisdom, and now it was just holding its last breath.

  "Can't we save it?" Yun Xi took out a piece of his fourth ranked bread and prayed that it could quickly refresh its life energy.

  The dog strenuously opened its mouth and ate the bread. Visible to the naked eye, its dried life was nourished and bright lights appeared in its eyes again.

  "No... it's too late..." Mei'er sighed. The dog's life had come to its end. Yun Xi's bread could only momentarily recover its consciousness just before death.

  It knew it was slowly dying since several days ago, so it aroused its bloodline at the last moment by its own will.

  The will was an obsession, in order to accomplish something, it didn't mind what it would become. So it could hold on till this moment.

  After eating Yun Xi's bread, it staggered to standing up, then dragged its dying body into its kennel.

  Yun Xi could see that the kennel was well cleaned. There w
ere warm and soft rice grasses in it, which could let it lay down comfortably.

  "It... will pass away..." Looking at its bulging belly, Mei'er finally understood what made it hold out until this moment.

  "En... let's accompany her to the end of her life." Yun Xi sent another piece of bread into the dog's mouth.

  "Thank you... my children... I will leave them to you." The dog opened its hazy eyes wide as a drop of tear slowly dropped down from its face.

  It had a very common life.

  It was born in a pet shop and was bought by an aristocratic miss. It lived a very leisurely life in the first 6-7 years of its life.

  Till the miss was married, but her husband didn't like pet dogs, so it was abandoned.

  In the next one year, it became a homeless stray dog. In the first several months, because it looked cute and there was a bell on its neck, people were willing to feed it and the patrol didn't drive it away. However, as its fur gradually became dirty and it face became ugly, everyone became cruel to it.

  As a pet dog, it didn't know too much about the survival skills and the skill of looking for food alone. To make the matter worse, it was pregnant and its paw was hurt, which made it become harder to look for food. It could do nothing but dig in trash cans, eating the food that even common stray dogs wouldn't cast a look at.

  Shortly afterwards, the wound on its paw was become inflamed and its age was already very old, it foresaw the coming of its death and had to wait in this small kennel it just found.

  The mildewy bread was the last food it could find. Although it knew it was not likely, it still wanted to give birth to the little lives in its belly.

  Its death like all the death of the common abandoned dogs, the only difference was it saw a light at the end of its life.

  The light dropped from the sky and offered it wisdom and a trace of special power.

  Using the trace of special power, it exerted all its energy, trying to connect to a special existence.

  It succeeded.

  Although it drained the last energy from its body.

  But it's worth it.

  It had seen the hope, it had seen the miracle.

  Its life had come to the end, but its children's lives had just started. They would inherit the power of bloodline from its body, they would have a bright future to run freely in the sunny world.

  If it was the "golden princess", she must be able to cultivate my children to be great lives.

  It had had no regret in its life. It even didn't hate its master who abandoned it now.

  Oh, it really feels good to fill the belly.

  Goodbye, my children.

  The golden princess would be your new guardian.

  As its body twisted and a smell of blood spread in the air, the nameless dog's eyes gradually became gentle, looking at its three children who were just born.

  The first was a puppy with a cruciform pattern on its forehead, who looked charismatic.

  The second was a puppy with three fire like patterns on its face, who looked logy.

  The last was a puppy whose body was as white as snow, smiling like an angel.

  Its bloodline was from an old world of ice and snow, and each of the three puppies inherited one of the features from its bloodline.

  Oh, it's warm...

  Chapter 359: This Is the Bud Garden

  "It has gone." Yun Xi sighed and closed his eyes.

  "There isn't anything we can do. If it's several years younger, maybe I can still save it..." Mei'er looked at its body and shook her head sadly.

  No wonder that the aura she felt was so weak. The dog had come to the end of its life, it was calling her by using the last of its life force.

  It was really a small miracle that it could hold on till she and Yun Xi came.

  "Woof! Woof!" The three puppies still didn't know what happened. They stuck out their tongue helplessly, trying to hide into their mom's belly and find the milk in their memory of bloodline.

  Unfortunately, their mom had been drained. The bread it ate had all turned into energy in order to give birth to them. There was no milk in its drained body.

  The dog had died, and its body was becoming cold. The three puppies seemed to realize something, barking piteously around their mom.

  "Since this is the last wish from a mom, let's take care of them!" Yun Xi picked up the three puppies in one hand and picked up their mom's body in the other hand, leaving the rockery quietly.

  After a while, he buried the dog and stood in front of its small grave, stroking the three puppies in his arms.

  This day, a life passed away, but three new lives came into this world.

  This was the miracle of the world, the circulation of life and death.

  Because there was their mom's smell on Yun Xi's body, the three puppies quickly got used to him and stayed in his arms quietly.

  "Master, I will teach them!" Mei'er said confidently.

  Obviously, the three puppies were born with wisdom. Their potentials were much better than their mom, the dog who gained wisdom at the last moment of its life.

  In fact, Mei'er had given them three names.

  The first puppy with a cruciform pattern on its forehead was named "Star Thunder". She had the strongest life force, and its body was also the biggest.

  The second puppy was named "Star Fire". Her character was lively, just like a ball of burning flame.

  The last puppy was named "Star Snow". She was the smallest but also the most beautiful one, having snow white fur and smiling eyes.

  Now, Mei'er had three little subordinates. Although they were still ignorant, Mei'er was confident in cultivating them to be useful dogs!

  Mei'er's team, the Star Spirit Team was born!

  ...

  At night, in the hall of the girl's dorm.

  "Cheers!"

  "Cheers!"

  "Cheers!"

  "Cheers, for White Lotus Sword Palace and our Starwing Knights!"

  The girls of Starwing Knights were coming together, cheering and laughing.

  Because of their excellent performance in the entrance examination, these girls, who were very common at the beginning, were allowed to hold this small celebration in the hall.

  All kinds of cakes, desserts, dishes and juices were put on the long draw table, from the traditional dishes of the Western God's Domain to the newest dish of the East God's Domain, they met the requirements of all kinds of tastes.

  However, Mei's bread were still their favorite food. Especially the golden, sweet bread. Once Yun Xi served them up from the kitchen, they would be quickly snapped up.

  "That's an exaggeration..." Looking at the smiling girls, Yun Xi suddenly blushed.

  Because he finally realized a very embarrassing thing.

  As a maid in the eyes of the others, where should he live?

  In fact, he had realized it, he just tried to ignore it. In the White Lotus Sword Palace, the highest ranking school of the entire White Lotus Sword Domain, their students would naturally live in the dorms. They weren't allowed to live outside.

  Well, because of this, their black-haired maid, Yun Xi, had been naturally arranged to live in the girl's dorm!

  Oh gosh! He had never imagined that one day, he could live in a dorm full of beautiful, cute girls!

  After all, this was a girl's dorm, there couldn't be any man! It was a garden of girls!

  Because they didn't need to stand a man's watch here, the girls here all behaved free, loose and easy.

  At this dinner party, several girls even came wearing their nightclothes. Through the gaps of their clothes, Yun Xi could easily see their tender, snow white skins.

  "Oh oh oh! Mei, your bread is delicious!" Several girls of the sword palace first ate Yun Xi's bread. They blushed, showing a look as if they were at the summit of happiness.

  I don't remember putting anything strange in the bread, why do they look so intoxicated?!

  Looking at their passionate eyes, Yun Xi felt that he just went wrong into
a world that was female-exclusive.

  "The girl's dorm of the sword palace is also called the Bud Garden."
