Jiang Zuo led the Duoling Dog out of the basement. Just as he reached the entrance, he saw Ximen Linglong and the small Water Qilin.
The moment Ximen Linglong saw the Duoling Dog, her eyes misted over. She was utterly heartbroken, especially when she saw it was covered in injuries. 'This is all my fault.'
When the Duoling Dog saw Ximen Linglong, it whimpered, as if admitting it had done wrong.
Ximen Linglong then ran over to the Duoling Dog, hugging it as she cried, "Qiqi, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I put you through so much. I'll never speak so carelessly again."
"ARF, ARF." The Duoling Dog barked, a mix of happiness and guilt in its voice.
The Water Qilin, meanwhile, floated in front of Jiang Zuo. "This is to repay you."
A Sixth-Grade Spirit Stone hovered before Jiang Zuo. However, he didn't take it. Instead, he said, "I told you, I want a dog's leg."
The Water Qilin: "..."
