The next day, when Ling Feng headed toward the outskirts of the Heavenly Punishment Forest, he found that the mysterious dog was sticking to him closely.

"Hey, you don't intend to leech onto me, do you?" Ling Feng said helplessly, "Our business is already settled, isn't it? You go your sunny road, I'll walk my single-log bridge, okay?"

The dog feigned confusion, not caring whatsoever about Ling Feng's words!

Having lived so many years, yesterday's meal was the most delicious it had ever tasted; the flavor of the roast still seemed to linger in its mouth. To have such a delicacy again, it wasn't going to leave Ling Feng's side.

Ling Feng felt a headache coming on, it seemed like this dog had indeed chosen him.

The dog was truly too mysterious. Even Ouyang Ting didn't know its breed, and through its various magical behaviors, Ling Feng was very aware of its extraordinary nature.

But the more extraordinary something is, the more dangerous it could be! Not to mention, if this dog suddenly had a change in temperament and decided to attack him, Ling Feng wasn't confident he could escape from its jaws.

Seeing that the dog ignored his words, pretending not to understand and following closely, Ling Feng couldn't help but speed up his pace.

The dog kept pace too, effortlessly keeping up with Ling Feng's speed.

Throughout this process, Ling Feng carefully observed the dog. When the dog was chasing him, he noticed that although there was no Vital Energy fluctuation within it, its motions carried a mystical rhythm, allowing it to catch up despite not moving much.

"It seems like the force this dog is using is not simple Vital Energy!" Ling Feng's heart trembled; he felt he was onto something but it wasn't clear.

Thus, with Ling Feng speedily in front and the dog closely following, they moved forward. When Ling Feng stopped, the dog also stopped precisely at the same moment, perfectly in sync with Ling Feng.

Looking at the dog, as clingy as dog skin plaster, Ling Feng rubbed his brow with a bit of a headache. It seemed that he really couldn't shake it off!

No matter how he tried to drive it away, it wouldn't leave; he couldn't lose it, and fighting... well, even Sea of Gods Realm Monster Beasts couldn't do anything to this dog, so naturally, Ling Feng didn't have such confidence either.

While passing by a small river, Ling Feng noticed many delicious, plump fish within it. His eyes lit up, looking like he'd found their lunch for the day.

As the aroma of grilled fish wafted through the air once more, the dog salivated freely, its mouth watering uncontrollably like there was no price to pay.

Splat, splat, the dog licked its lips, then lowered its head obediently and lay by Ling Feng's side, putting on a cute and charming demeanor.

Ling Feng shivered: "Stop, stop! You should put away that look, I'm not giving you any grilled fish!"

"Owoo!" The dog rolled over, its eyes filled with sadness and grievance, like Ling Feng had dumped it after using it.

Ling Feng shook his head and said, "I told you, our account is settled, and you agreed. So I owe you nothing now, and you don't need to follow me anymore!"

Upon hearing this, the dog rolled back onto its feet, fixing its eyes on Ling Feng, as if contemplating something.

Ling Feng felt a bit uneasy in his heart; could it be that the dog was finally going to make a move against him?

Just when Ling Feng was feeling a bit nervous, the dog suddenly turned around and dashed into the forest, disappearing in a blink.

"Huh? What's this about? Did the dog finally understand and give up?" Ling Feng thought to himself, but either way, as long as the dog wasn't following him, Ling Feng was content.

A few minutes later, the grilled fish was completely done. As Ling Feng tore into the fish, the fragrance spread, intoxicating him. At least the Divine Realm had one merit—the ingredients here were top-notch!

Even someone like Ling Feng, who wasn't particular about food, was conquered, showcasing the superiority of the ingredients here.

As Ling Feng finished the second fish, a sound came from the forest, and soon the dog reappeared in front of him.

This time, the dog had a bunch of fruits in its mouth, bright red and exuding a hot aura.

"This is..." Ling Feng's eyes went wide: "Aren't these Sun Flame Fruits that can increase Vital Energy circulation speed?"

Sun Flame Fruits could significantly boost the speed of Vital Energy circulation. If one consumed one while breaking through, it ensured ample energy, and if consumed in battle, it guaranteed an endless supply of Vital Energy!

It was truly a valuable item! But where did the dog get it?

"Owoo!" The dog placed the Sun Flame Fruits in front of Ling Feng, then pitifully eyed the last grilled fish on the fire.

"Maybe this is an opportunity!" Ling Feng's mind began to turn.

Although he didn't know where the dog got these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, trading them for grilled fish was definitely a huge win for Ling Feng!

Thinking of this, Ling Feng cleared his throat and said, "Dog, you've performed well, consider this grilled fish a trade with you!"

With those words, Ling Feng's hand moved, and the bunch of Sun Flame Fruits disappeared into Ling Feng's Devil's Ring,

while the dog, pleased, began licking the grilled fish bit by bit, reluctant to devour it all at once.

Ling Feng's eyes sparkled as he looked at the dog, now not seeing it as just a dumb mutt, but a walking treasure!

The dog was very satisfied as well; it was just a bunch of fruits in exchange for such a delicious grilled fish, what a trade!

Both Ling Feng and the dog were very pleased with the transaction; they exchanged a glance, then decided with mutual understanding to continue this kind of trade.

Roar! Just as Ling Feng and the dog had finished eating, an angry roar erupted from the distance in the forest, and a leopard, body clad in yellow stripes, appeared before them.

"Owoo!" The dog faced the leopard, fearlessly baring its teeth, but its body slowly retreated behind Ling Feng.

Ling Feng's expression froze: "Dog, don't tell me those fruits were stolen from this leopard?"

The dog barked a few times confidently, as if countering the accusation.

However, Ling Feng understood; the Sun Flame Fruits must have been stolen by the dog from the leopard, no wonder the leopard was so furious, like it had been cuckolded by the neighboring black panther.

"Still... it's merely a God Realm Monster Beast, yet you fail to take me seriously!" Ling Feng sighed slightly, rising to his feet: "I might consider overlooking what the dog did for once, but if you refuse to leave, don't blame me for being harsh."
