Chapter 212 Feeling Fearful
The moment Yang Lujia and the others appeared; the Vengeful Pangolin's eyes turned wide in a second and even hurriedly kowtowed amidst the chaotic space. That was all because it saw the little pup lying down on Yang Lujia's shoulders.
Fortunately, it was sleeping. If it had heard the things it said before, wouldn't it incur the anger of this dog?!
Yang Lujia was surprised by this sudden change of attitude of the Vengeful Pangolin. He then noticed the look of fear on its face as it shortly shot a glance at Brownie, who was taking his slumber on Yang Lujia's shoulder.
"Brownie, wake up, do you know this Vengeful Pangolin, here?" Yang Lujia asked, waking up Brownie from his good sleep.
"What is it?!" Brownie was indignant about how he was disturbed by Yang Lujia. Nevertheless, when he looked at the creature in front of them, his eyes bulged. "What's a Vengeful Pangolin doing out here? He also has their noble bloodline?"
Brownie was surprised that he flew from Yang Lujia's shoulder and looked at the Vengeful Pangolin's body incredulously. "It seems like he's the real deal."
Meanwhile, Yang Lujia and the others could clearly see that the Vengeful Pangolin was barely holding out—not to faint in front of Brownie. It was trembling all over. It seemed like it was afraid of Brownie.
"Your Highness! I was wrong! Please punish this subordinate!" the Vengeful Pangolin screamed at the top of its lungs.
It wasn't able to hold it in any further. It just wanted to set itself free from this misery. It knew that its life was no longer in its grasp as it was already in front of a noble from 'that' tribe that ruled over their region.
"Subordinate?" Brownie was surprised. He did not know about having a Vengeful Pangolin being his subordinate. Moreover, it seemed like this Vengeful Pangolin was only someone he was able to coincidentally encounter before when he was still the prince of their tribe. Their tribe was a devouring type and so was the Vengeful Pangolin's.
But those were all the things that he knew—nothing more, nothing less.
"Your Highness, you don't remember?" the Vengeful Pangolin asked in disbelief. "Aren't you the Devouring Void Dog Tribe's esteemed prince?!"
Brownie then shook his head and did not deny the Vengeful Pangolin's guess. "However, it wasn't like I could not remember anything. Only when I become stronger should I be able to regain the other parts of my memories. After all, I was reborn into an egg and was hatched by someone else. I don't know what happened, but the image was still vivid."
Brownie never talked about this to Yang Lujia, but since he felt like the Vengeful Pangolin was of the same species as he was—a devouring species, he talked about what he experienced during that time. Yang Lujia and the others also chose to listen to his story.
Yang Lujia, on the other hand, did not blame the puppy for not talking about his past. Moreover, it seemed like his memories should have just gotten back for a while.
During that time when Brownie was still cultivating inside his room, a hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere and brought his body and soul out of their tribe without leaving any trace. Until now, he still didn't know who did that.
Nevertheless, he couldn't have met Yang Lujia if it were not for those hands that grabbed him. He felt like it was worth it, to serve someone like Yang Lujia who came from a tribe that was vastly above their tribe in terms of strength.
When Yang Lujia heard his story, he could not help but sympathize with Brownie. The system was too ruthless not to warn him about anything before stealing Brownie from his tribe and giving it to him as a gift.
What was most astonishing were the unbelievable abilities that the system could do. It could even plunder the body and soul of a living thing from the void. Yang Lujia felt sorry for the little puppy. He suddenly felt a little guilty for having not treated this little dog dotingly before.
"Brownie, come here," Yang Lujia said as Brownie was pulled away from the Vengeful Pangolin to his side. "Also, you…" He then pointed at the terror-stricken Vengeful Pangolin.
The Vengeful Pangolin's thoughts were running wild. It was trying to figure out who Yang Lujia was. As shallow its mind was, it immediately thought that the expert's hand who kidnapped the Devouring Void Dog's esteemed prince was Yang Lujia himself. That alone terrified it to the core—that it did not dare resist the force pulling it to Yang Lujia's side.
But it was still mesmerized by Yang Lujia's face when it had gotten near. It clearly saw his face that was so perfect. Its body even trembled, but it did not dare linger its gaze on Yang Lujia any longer.
"What's your name, big fella?" Yang Lujia stared at the large Vengeful Pangolin. "Since you're an acquaintance of my little pup, why don't you follow me instead and leave this place? I suppose you can't leave, because of the restrictions set by someone strong in your dantian, right?"
The Vengeful Pangolin looked at Yang Lujia ridiculously. 'How could such a person as terrifying as him be here?! Are they joking with him?!'
"H-How did you k-know…" The Vengeful Pangolin managed to ask as it forced itself to look up at Yang Lujia.
"A spatial restriction was set up in your dantian. Luckily, it was still something within my means. This goes to show that the people or that person who placed the restriction on your dantian was quite vigilant but was not vigilant enough to not raise the restriction to his level. Otherwise, you, the Vengeful Pangolin, could have already died."
The Vengeful Pangolin swallowed hard. It thought about how it was sent here by 'that' person just because it offended him. It was a noble of the Vengeful Pangolin Tribe, but its tribe was still not up to par to match up with the person who placed it here and even restricted its cultivation from growing for several years. This naturally frustrated it and ate several void beasts to vent its anger and helplessness.
"What's your name, big fella?" Yang Lujia calmly asked. "I ought to know your name since you're a friend of my little pup here."
"Can't you stop calling me little pup?!" Brownie growled at Yang Lujia as he went back to sleep on Yang Lujia's shoulders once more. "Hmph!"
"My name… I… I…" Only then the Vengeful Pangolin forgot about its name the moment Yang Lujia asked it about it. "It s-seems like…"
