Wild Dog had fled—it wasn't a big deal.

I wasn't the type to be excessively ruthless, insisting on cutting down the weeds and digging out the roots.

The issue was that the Wild Dog had hidden behind the gravestone, and the serpent couldn't get anywhere close to it.

Moreover, the kind of resentful, cold gaze filled with hatred that was directed at me and Yu Longting—I was very familiar with the contours and shape of a human eye.

It seemed like I had seen it somewhere, but I couldn't recall at the moment.

I was certain that the dog had undergone more than just an eye transplant.

The feeling it gave me was that it was a person, and one who bore deep hatred towards both me and Yu Longting.

"If the snake can't get close, does that mean I can't either? Just kill it," Yu Longting said, never vague when it came to killing, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared beside the gravestone.

From the sleeve of his robe, he drew a brightly shining three-foot green peak sword. Grasping the silver handle with the coiled python design, he chopped down directly at the Wild Dog's back.

The force of the long sword somehow missed, only striking the gravestone.

The gravestone flashed a light and split into two halves, as cleanly as if it had been tofu.

A Substitute Curse talisman, specialized for blocking disasters for someone, floated out from inside the gravestone.

When I looked again at the Wild Dog, it had scurried into a small hole beneath the gravestone.

With Yu Longting's temperament, how could he let a little monster slip away right from under his nose? He directly chopped off the dog's hindquarters.

The dog, now missing half of itself, had its intestines spilling from its stomach.

Yet it didn't hesitate for even half a second, dragging its intestines as it quickly fled through the hole.

Watching this left me agape, "This dog is quite tenacious, huh? Even like this, it can still run."

I saw the heads of the snakes emerge from the wide sleeves of Yu Longting's Cultivation Spiritual Garment, eager to give chase and kill, but they were stopped by his long fingers pressing down on the snake's heads, preventing the serpents from completing a merciless slaughter, "Let it run. It's already lost half its body and can only wait for death."

"Is... is that so..." I stared at the half of the dog's hindquarters on the ground, a flash of the Wild Dog's intestines spilling out crossed my mind, sending a shiver through my body.

Yu Longting kissed my forehead, "Sorry for letting you see such a bloody scene, did it scare you?"

"I... I wasn't scared at all, don't underestimate me! Yu Longting, I've become braver now, let's... let's go back to digging up the Feng Shui Bottle, forget about that dog." Trying to appear calm, I pulled Yu Longting back to where we were before.

The digging did not proceed smoothly.

Yu Longting had the snakes dig, but after a while, the hole-digging snakes were injured by the evil energy and had to return to his sleeve.

Together, we resorted to the most primitive method: digging with a small shovel.

We dug for quite some time, and the sky began to brighten ever so slightly.

I wiped the sweat from my brow with my wrist, "Either it's not here, or it's buried too deep."

"Wife, take a break, I'll do it," Yu Longting offered, tirelessly taking over the task.

The mighty Snake Lord, digging holes like an Earth Tutor alongside me.

I stubbornly shook my head, "No, I want to dig with you."

Yu Longting could not help but laugh, his smile blooming radiantly.

Suddenly, I felt a chill down my spine.

I looked behind me, only to see a pair of red lights flashing by.

They quickly disappeared...

It was as if something was secretly watching us.

I looked at Yu Longting, but he showed no reaction and focused on digging.

He probably noticed it but couldn't be bothered to care.

I became interested in those red lights and turned in their direction.

I kept digging while stealthily keeping watch.

After lying in wait for a while, a dog's head finally emerged from the hole by the split gravestone.

The dog's head, with its eerily red eyes, stared at me, causing a sense of panic in my heart, and the more I looked at its eyes, the more familiar they seemed. "Yu Longting, don't the eyes of that Wild Dog look a bit like my mom's?"
