Chapter 0005: Transformation
The two servants, not understanding the situation, thought that the young master was going to inspect their work results, so they hurriedly brought out the most aggressive and fierce blood wolf.
Two servants bowed and flattered, solely to please him
The next morning, in the dining room of the He residence, the large dining table was filled with a sumptuous breakfast, but only two people were seated.
Alright, let's eat. After finishing the meal, you should hurry back to the academy and not delay your studies and coursework. In the future, when grandfather grows old, the He family will still need you to take on responsibilities.
He spoke so many words in one breath without any regrets, which shows the urgency of his feelings
Certainly, judging by the bloody scent emanating from those dogs, it is clear that these dogs are not adorable pets, but rather fighting dogs used for brutal combat
This person is the head of the He family, He Yaotian, the Duke of the State of Qingyuan. His strength has reached the level of an Eighth-Rank Martial Master, making him one of the top five experts in the entire Qingyuan Kingdom.

They know that the young master is most fond of these dogs, and as long as they take good care of the dogs, the young master will definitely reward them generously
Formerly, Qian Renhe was extremely passionate about dog fighting. To this end, he spared no expense and went to great lengths to acquire over one hundred powerful pedigree fighting dogs, which he kept in the dog kennel in his backyard
The elder seated at the top is a man with white hair and beard, yet full of vigor. He stands at a height of 8 feet, resembling a towering iron tower, and his eyes are bright and clear, indicating that he is a formidable martial artist
The blade was still smeared with bright red blood, but it was soon devoured by the Blood-drinking Blade. Having feasted on the blood, the Blood-drinking Blade surprisingly conveyed a series of joyful and cheerful thoughts
... ...
However, now, He Wuhen no longer needs those fierce dogs; he is not the useless former self and has no interest in dog fighting at all. Moreover, after experiencing the recent incident, he harbors a deep hatred and aversion towards these extremely ugly and ferocious large dogs.
Many servants were secretly speculating: "Which unfortunate soul has angered the young master this time"
This person approached He Yaotian, leaned down, and whispered in his ear: "Master, I have already dealt with those dead dogs in the backyard overnight. The servants are quite frightened and do not understand why the young master is so angry. They only heard the young master say that he wants to practice his swordsmanship"
However, what they did not anticipate was that this time they would be disappointed
Although there are more than 300 guards and servants in the He residence, there are only a handful of actual members of the He family
He Wei regretted being rendered speechless; he knew that what his grandfather said was the truth, so he could not argue. However, he still wanted to protect and assist his elder brother He Wuhen
In the backyard, many servants were busy when they suddenly saw the young master walk in, holding a knife in his hand. Instantly, they fell silent, retreating to a distance, their hearts filled with trepidation.
There were two strong young servants who were cleaning the doghouse and feeding the dogs. Upon seeing He Wuhen arrive, they immediately greeted him with flattering smiles and bowed as they came forward to pay their respects.
A Da and A Er hurriedly expressed their profound gratitude, respectfully took a look, and were astonished to find two banknotes of fifty taels each. Instantly, they became even more obsequious, feeling that the injuries they had sustained today were well worth it
He Yao Tian pondered for a while, yet remained at a loss, unable to suppress his furrowed brow as he muttered to himself: "What on earth is this little beast going mad about, actually wielding a knife to slaughter dogs in a fit of rage? Those big dogs were all painstakingly collected by him, treasured beyond measure; how could he be so ruthless this time as to kill them all?"
"Hmm, I am aware. He Feng, you may go down now." He Yaotian's eyes sparkled with brilliance, clearly deep in thought.
Ah! Young Master, what are you doing? The two servants were taken aback, still holding onto the dog leash, yet they did not expect that the bloodthirsty beast had already been decapitated
He Wu Hen held the Blood-drinking Blade, and his fondness for this treasured sword grew even stronger.
The young man known as He Feng stepped back, and the restaurant fell into silence
After dismissing the two lackeys, He Wuhen picked up the Bloodthirsty Blade and headed towards the backyard of the He residence
Young Master, you have arrived
The entire He family, and even the whole of Yujing City, harbors an immense disdain for He Wuhen, this debauched wastrel. Only his younger brother, He Wuhui, would be so protective of this elder brother.
Upon seeing this, the two servants thought that the young master was very pleased with their labor results. They exchanged glances and were instantly filled with joy, anticipating that they would soon be rewarded with large sums of silver from the young master
Who knows, in the next moment, He Wuhen's actions completely stunned the two servants; he did not pull out silver or banknotes from his sleeve, but instead raised the black knife in his hand
At the moment when those subordinates were filled with anxiety and fear, they discovered that the young master did not even glance at them and went straight to the doghouse on the east side of the courtyard
In the past, several servants had angered the young master and were beaten to death by him, which instilled great fear among the servants of the He family towards this little demon
These dogs appear fierce and imposing, both ugly and fierce, with many possessing prestigious bloodlines, which are good breeds that can only be purchased for thousands of taels of silver in the market
In the experience points section, an additional 10 points have been added, and 920 more points are needed to upgrade to level 5 martial apprentice
On the east side of the yard, there is a row of low wooden houses, which are evidently dog kennels, housing dozens of dogs of various sizes.
Hmm? Do I still need to inform you of what I am doing? Looking at the stunned and shocked expressions of those two servants, He Wuhen turned his head, glared with his eyes, and spoke in an displeased tone
Upon returning to the He residence, He Wuhen took out two banknotes and tossed them to A Da and A Er: "Your performance today was commendable; you have served your master well. This is a reward for you both. Go back and rest to recover from your injuries."
Alas, I truly hope that things will turn out as you said, and that this little beast will really make amends this time
Currently, the He family has few members. The grandfather is already advanced in age, and both he and his elder brother have been orphaned since childhood. The only relatives he has left in this world are his grandfather, elder brother, and second uncle, which is why he cherishes this familial bond even more.
Indeed, it is a treasured blade, capable of cutting through hair and severing strands, slicing through iron as if it were mud. With this single stroke, it effortlessly severed the dog's neck, truly remarkable
You two, go and bring the dogs from the doghouse, one by one, for today I, the young master, shall practice my swordsmanship
They could never have imagined that the young master would personally wield the knife and slaughter his most beloved blood hound. It is worth noting that the young master had spent several thousand taels of silver for this dog.
Listening to He Wuhui's words, He Yaotian cast a sidelong glance at him and said irritably, "Hmph, all you do is protect your elder brother. You've said this several times before, but what has been the outcome? Has he ever truly changed? He continues to act recklessly as always"
Hearing He Yaotian's words, He Wuhui raised his head and said to him: "Grandfather, I met with my elder brother yesterday, and I feel that he has changed a lot. You see, this incident is a clear proof of that."
The most crucial point is that he knows these vicious dogs are also monsters, and each one killed grants ten experience points
Although this bloodthirsty beast is extremely fierce and bares its teeth as if to bite, these two servants are both ninth-level martial artists with formidable strength, and they have been training this dog for a long time, thus they can easily bring the large dog before He Wuhen
On the left side of the dining table sat a young lad of about fourteen or fifteen years, with red lips and white teeth, handsome and refined, dressed in a luxurious satin robe, exuding an air of cultured elegance and martial prowess
At this moment, a voice of report came from the entrance, and a young man dressed in black swiftly walked in. This person moved lightly and appeared to be full of vitality, also a strong practitioner of martial arts
This young man is He Yaotian's second grandson, He Wuhui, and he is also the younger brother of He Wuhen
The black dagger was raised by He Wuhen, and it struck fiercely down towards the neck of the Blood Wolf, a flash of black lightning illuminating the scene
No matter how dissolute and disgraceful Wu Hehen may be, and regardless of how notorious he is in the eyes of outsiders, he is still his elder brother, his own flesh and blood. How could he possibly look down on his elder brother like the outsiders do?
He Wu Hen casually pointed to a cage in the dog house, where a large dog nearly the height of a person was confined. Its fur was a deep crimson, and its eyes were a vivid green, truly resembling a wolf, exuding a fierce and bloody aura
It is evident that the dog just now granted him 10 experience points. Calculating this, he only needs to kill 92 more dogs to level up to a Level 5 Martial Apprentice
Gazing at the lavish spread of food on the large dining table, and then looking beside him to see only his grandson He Wuhui accompanying him, even He Yaotian, a hero throughout his life, cannot help but feel a sense of desolation at this moment, finding it difficult to swallow the delicious food before him
The grand He residence, resplendent and magnificent, is unfortunately lacking in vitality due to its sparse population.
My elder brother used to be quite reckless and immature, causing you a great deal of anger. This time, I believe he has truly reflected on his past mistakes and is determined to change. You see, those large dogs were his most cherished possessions, yet he has now killed them all with a single stroke. This clearly indicates that he will no longer allow his passions to distract him from his ambitions in the future
However, no one could have anticipated that today the young master would become so enraged as to personally come with a knife to kill someone
Since the two servants were kneeling and begging for mercy, He Wuhen could not be bothered to hold a grudge and quickly opened the character panel to check the attributes.
You two, go bring that dog out for me
Immediately, the two servants were so frightened that they fell to their knees with a thud, repeatedly crying and begging for mercy, saying: "Young Master, I realize my mistake, I implore you to show mercy, please do not kill me, my worthless life cannot tarnish your precious blade, Young Master!"
Consequently, the bloodthirsty beast, restrained by two servants, could not evade its fate and was directly beheaded, its large head thudding to the ground, while blood gushed forth, splattering the two servants all over.
He, He Wuhen, paid no attention to the two sycophantic lackeys. His gaze swept over the fierce and bloody large dogs in the cage, and a strong golden light flickered in his eyes. A smile spread uncontrollably across his face, as if he could see countless experience points beckoning to him.
In the past, my elder brother was timid and weak, afraid even to kill a chicken. Now he has become strong. Moreover, he mentioned that slaughtering dogs is for practicing his swordsmanship, indicating that he has changed his mind and is now on the path of righteous cultivation
Hmm, not bad, not bad! Seeing the fierce and menacing blood wolf before him, He Wuhen nodded in satisfaction.
Only because, there is no regret in the years of youth turning into maturity, with a meticulous mind, and a strong sense of loyalty and righteousness
Grandfather, please believe that this time my elder brother has truly turned over a new leaf. Please do not punish him.
The He residence covers an extensive area, exuding luxury and grandeur, with seven courtyards in total, both front and back. The innermost courtyard is where the servants and subordinates reside, and there is also a large doghouse located there.
Young Master, are you here to visit your treasures again? Look at that bloodthirsty beast; I have specially taken care of it as per your instructions, just waiting for it to enter the arena to bring glory and pride to you!
Thinking of this, He Wuhen's mood became exceedingly joyful again
