God of Pets

A woman with a veil, whose appearance couldn't be seen but just her eyes made people feel pity and want to cherish her.

Chen Guan looked at this woman and felt somewhat familiar, yet he couldn't match her to anyone he knew.

"I've definitely seen this woman before, but who is she?" Chen Guan was trying to recall but couldn't think of it.

This left Chen Guan a little puzzled; he had a good memory, and a woman with such a unique aura wouldn't be easy to forget.

"Could it be a beauty I saw online?" Chen Guan mused internally.

"This woman truly has a bit of a nation-toppling look." Duan Shulin whispered.

"You've never even seen her face, how do you know she's beautiful? Maybe she just has a good figure." Qin Ziyu commented from the side.

"Haven't you heard the old saying that a fair complexion covers all flaws? Actually, it's not exactly true—it should be youthful and fair that covers flaws. A girl who's youthful and fair with skin like a peeled boiled egg, how ugly could she be?" Duan Shulin explained.

"I heard people with fair skin are prone to freckles; maybe she's full of freckles?" Qin Ziyu added.

"No, the kind of fair that's prone to freckles isn't this kind of fair. She's not just fair; she's extremely youthful. Look at her with that 'I-see-you-and-still-feel-pity-for-you' look; no one would want to speak to her harshly. Why do you think that is? It's because she looks so delicate." Duan Shulin analyzed.

Qin Ziyu took a closer look at the woman and immediately felt Duan Shulin was right, exclaiming, "This is truly a woman you could describe as delicate."

Just as everyone was marveling at the woman's beauty, a man came up quickly and said to the woman with flair, "I wonder if I have the honor to let the fairy go ahead of me?"

"Thank you, Mr. Qiu, I've long admired the reputation of Mr. Qin Qiu." The woman replied with a gentle bow.

The man was delighted to hear the woman knew his name, "Now I'm at a loss for words. I don't even know what to call you."

Chen Guan also perked up, wanting to know the woman's name.

He found the woman's voice was also very familiar, yet he couldn't recall who she was.

The voice was gentle and pleasing, with both the shyness of a girl's voice and the allure of a mature woman's voice. It sounded very unique, and if he had heard it before, he should have remembered it.

But even with the familiarity, Chen Guan couldn't recall who the woman was.

Several other men and women also perked up, wanting to find out which family the woman belonged to.

"My surname is Wang, with the single name Lian." The woman said with a smile.

"Wang Lian!" Chen Guan and Qin Ziyu widened their eyes.

For they both felt the woman was very familiar, yet couldn't remember who she was.

Until she announced her name, they both understood where this familiar feeling was coming from. This woman indeed resembled the Wang Lian they knew.

But now Wang Lian's aura was very different from the Wang Lian they used to know, which made them a bit skeptical.

"It's only been a while, how has Wang Lian changed so much that I almost didn't recognize her? Did she undergo major surgery?" Chen Guan pondered in shock.

Whether intentionally or not, Wang Lian's eyes flashed at that moment, and she happened to glance at Chen Guan.

As their eyes met, Chen Guan was sure it was indeed Wang Lian, despite her eyes having changed, he could sense the hostility towards him in her gaze.

Apart from Wang Lian, there shouldn't be any other woman who hated him to this extent, without any disguise.

Upon hearing her surname was Wang, many people frowned in whispers.

The Wang surname remains a taboo to this day, causing them to wonder which Wang family Wang Lian came from.

If she was from the Tianqiu Wang family, it would be fine, or if it was an ordinary Wang family, it wouldn't matter. But they feared she was from that particular Wang family.

Qin Qiu seemed unbothered by this, continuing to smile, "This character Lian is well chosen, truly worthy of the saying 'I see you and still feel pity for you,' evoking a natural fondness for beautiful things. Such qualities are one-of-a-kind in this world, born from generations of accumulated blessings, able to gather the love of the heavens in one being, to beget such a fairy-like person…"

"Is this Qin Qiu a relative of yours?" Chen Guan was a bit fed up, thinking this guy was truly shameless, willing to say anything.

Chen Guan felt that such shameless people, one in the world was enough; like repels like, he didn't quite like this person.

It was a casual remark, but Qin Ziyu actually nodded and said, "He's a direct relation from my family's main branch, so he's essentially my cousin."

Duan Shulin interjected, "Qin Qiu, nicknamed the earthly September sky, created his own Composite Secret Skills, Boundless Falling Leaves and Gale Sweeps Leaves, making it into the top ten of the Tiger List during his First Awakening, a genuine direct descendant of the Qin Family."

"Making it into the top ten with his First Awakening, he's quite strong!" Chen Guan expressed surprise.

Jiang Qiemo had previously wanted to try the Tiger List but didn't go for it during his First Awakening; he heard he only reached the top fifty after his Second Awakening.

But Jiang Qiemo could certainly climb higher if he hadn't heard about the Qilin Mountain contest between Black Cavalry and Red Cavalry, which led him to set aside the rankings and return to join Black Cavalry.

"There's no one weak in the Qin Family; after all, they're the progeny of the Emperor Ancestor." Duan Shulin commented.

Qin Ziyu thought for a moment and said, "I practically have no connection with the main Qin Family, so I'm not sure how strong he is, I only know as much as you do."

As they spoke, they heard a creak as the mountain gate of the Dushan Sect opened.

They had just brought their invitations up the mountain, but upon reaching the gate, the Dushan Sect instructed them to wait outside, not even opening the main gate. Everyone was lined up here, waiting for Dushan Sect to open the gate.

Chen Guan saw Gu Shan emerge from inside and said expressionlessly, "Everyone is busy, so we of the Dushan Sect won't hold you up for too long. Anyone wishing to inherit a pet from our Dushan Sect needs to pass several tests. If you can't pass the first gate test upon entering, you can return home."

As Gu Shan spoke, he stuck a piece of paper with the test rules onto a nearby doorpost.

As everyone looked at the paper with the rules, Gu Shan summoned a pet to stand guard at the entrance.

That pet looked like a large black dog. I say 'like' because large black dogs aren't usually this size.

Gu Shan's large black dog, sitting there, was comparable to the height of an elephant, with black fur, black eyes, a black tongue, and black paws, appearing as black as coal.
