Chapter 92: One Whistle Summons All The Demonic Creatures! Reporter Comes For An Interview!
“Junior sister, when did you get here?” Chen Han asked subconsciously.
“When senior brother flew onto the roof,” Xiao Yu said as she stepped closer with a face full of expectation, grabbed his hand, and asked, “Senior brother, does our Chen Clan have some kind of lightness skill that you learned?”
“Uh!” Chen Han really did not know how to explain this.
If there really were a lightness cultivation method, he would have taught his junior sister. The key was that this was only the attribute effect of his clothes and shoes.
He definitely could not tell his junior sister that.
So his mind spun quickly and he started bluffing again. “Junior sister, this isn’t some lightness skill, it’s parkour. You know parkour, right?”
Xiao Yu just looked at him. “Senior brother, do you think I’m stupid? How could that be parkour? You stepped twice and got onto the roof. How could that be parkour?”
Chen Han knew it did not look like it. Normal parkour could not achieve that kind of leaping over walls and running along eaves. But he immediately explained, “Junior sister, you’ve seen Daoist Priest Chen of Wudang demonstrate lightness skill, right? Didn’t many people mock him, saying it was parkour?”
“Actually that makes some sense. Ordinary people are just doing parkour. But if the body is stronger and better, and you can jump higher, farther, more nimbly, then once it reaches a certain degree, isn’t that leaping over walls and running along eaves?”
“Junior sister, you’ve been eating medicinal cuisine recently and can feel your physical fitness getting stronger, right? Sword moves you couldn’t do before, you can easily do now. If you practice parkour now, you’ll also be better than others. When your body becomes strong enough, it won’t be called parkour anymore, it’ll be leaping over walls and running along eaves.”
Xiao Yu’s eyes really lit up at these words.
Recently, after eating the medicinal cuisine made by her senior brother, her physical fitness had indeed improved.
So if she practiced parkour, was it possible to do what her senior brother did? To also leap over walls and run along eaves?
Thinking of this, she eagerly rushed out of her senior brother’s courtyard, planning to go back and watch some parkour videos. Only after leaving the courtyard did she remember the serious matter. She quickly poked her head back in and said, “Senior brother, about ordering armor for Doggy, that studio has two finished products in stock. I’ll send them to you on Weixin for you to choose.”
After saying that, she dashed off.
A moment later, Chen Han’s mobile phone received two messages. They were the two sets of armor his junior sister had sent for the dog to wear.
One was clearly standard Huaguo national-style armor, not only cool but armed to the teeth. （ Which big shot can provide a picture? ）
The other was somewhat a mix of Chinese and Western styles. It was indeed cool, but he would definitely choose the standard Huaguo national style, and this national-style armor matched the Chen Clan Ancient Architecture better.
After choosing, he sent his pick to his junior sister and soon received her smiling emoji in reply.
On the other side, after replying to her senior brother, Xiao Yu returned to her own courtyard, hurriedly took out a tablet, and started searching for parkour videos.
Beside her, Xiao Mi, who was practicing some dance moves in preparation to shoot a dance video, saw this, walked over curiously, and asked, “Xiao Yu, why are you watching parkour videos?”
Xiao Yu quickly said, “To practice lightness skill. Senior brother said lightness skill is parkour. As long as your physical fitness is strong enough, you can leap over walls and run along eaves. The medicinal cuisine we eat every day can enhance our physique.”
This actually sparked Xiao Mi’s interest. She analyzed, “If it’s not that kind of flying-through-the-sky and burrowing-into-the-earth lightness skill, but only that leaping-over-walls type, then it might really be possible. At university I read a book on human body function and power. It said if you strengthen the body’s functions, just increasing the proportion of fast-twitch fibers can enhance power. The greater the contraction elasticity data, the faster the speed…”
“And also the myosin and actin content that muscle cross-sectional area can hold… so if the body becomes stronger…”
Xiao Yu could not remember what Xiao Mi Jie said afterward at all. She truly admired how Xiao Mi Jie could remember so many things.
But that was not important. What was important was that she did not understand what Xiao Mi Jie was talking about, which meant it was impressive and profound, and this further proved her senior brother was right.
After his junior sister left, Chen Han also returned to his room, took a shower, then took out that Spirit Stone, and began to run the 《basic qi cultivation method of the Nine Heavens Profound Scripture》 to cultivate.
A night passed.
As the alarm clock rang, Chen Han emerged from cultivation. The spiritual energy in the Spirit Stone in his hand had become even less.
However, the cultivation effect was better than before. After checking his lifespan, it had reached 25 years and 9 months.
In other words, now he could live to
The symptom in his lungs was being treated faster and faster; it should be completely cured very soon.
In high spirits, he picked up his phone and saw a flood of prompts from the Douyin backend. Clicking into the Chen Family Head account, he could not help but smile.
08 million likes.
This was the number of likes that had grown overnight. That meant the dog demon plea-for-help video had gone viral. Later it would not be a problem to reach 3 million likes.
He checked the followers: 310,000 followers.
In one night he gained more than 150,000 followers. That meant the like-to-follow ratio of this video was less than one to ten, which was a very good ratio and showed the impact the dog demon plea-for-help video had on viewers was really huge.
And with more than 300,000 followers, he could now be considered to have a small fan base.
At the same time, his reputation had also surged, reaching: 50,000 reputation. （295885/50000）
Previously, when leveling up, his reputation was always insufficient. Now his reputation was skyrocketing and likes were already close to 300,000, far exceeding the upgrade requirement. He had to make money quickly.
He needed to find a time to contact that demonic cult rogue Chu Hao.
He then checked on the status of his junior sister and the others.
His junior sister’s followers had risen to 920,000, and Xiao Mi’s had risen to 6 million.
Moreover, since yesterday Uncle and Uncle Dagou received a lot of attention, both had gained some followers. Uncle had 28,000 followers, and Uncle Dagou had 11,
Overall, his junior sister and Xiao Mi were growing the fastest and gaining the most. This also showed that on Douyin it was absolutely the world of LSPs. As long as you were a beautiful woman with a good figure and a bit of attractive talent and skill, follower growth was much faster than for men.
Chen Han checked the Douyin Hot Search List again. Yesterday, the dog theft incident had only just made it onto hot search. Today, it occupied a very high position on the list, which showed how big the commotion was.
Checking the time, he quickly washed up and went downstairs. In the courtyard, he mounted You Fu, who had proactively crouched at his feet, and headed toward the Special Spiritual Aperture.
With such big heat around the dog theft case, many people who did not see it yesterday would learn about it from today’s hot search list. Yang Mi was one of them.
She had noticed the Chen Clan after watching the video of Jing Tian, Xue Jian, and Long Kui.
She did not expect the Chen Clan to cause such a big stir today and make it onto the hot search list.
Curiously, she clicked to watch that Chen Family Head video and was immediately amused.
How could this guy be so abstract? He seemed like a completely different person compared to when he was with Li Xiaoyao and Jing Tian and when he was playing 《Love for Generations》 and 《Sword of Fate》.
Especially when the three old men in white vests appeared, being called Hall Elder and clan experts. She burst out laughing and even sprayed out the water she had just drunk.
No way, this person was too abstract.
But soon, the scene of the dog thieves being beaten to the ground by the white vests made her widen her eyes in surprise again.
This…
…
Under the Three Old Elm Trees, Chen Han opened his eyes and stood up.
This round of spiritual energy rinse had increased his lifespan by several more months. Behind him, You Fu let out two contented calls, then followed him out of the pavilion.
This cow seemed to know the benefits of the spiritual energy rinse and took the initiative every morning to carry him over.
On the way back, Chen Han saw that construction of flower beds in several places had already built up the main structures. Once the ordered mature offering flowers arrived, they could be planted. The speed was quite fast.
After the irrigation system was completed, he would use Hundred Flowers Palace Spirit Jade to transform Spirit Plant Dew, and within a few days they would bloom—plus have fragrance +2 and ornamental value +
Once he reached Uncle’s Kitchen, he took out the dog demon meat and began to process it.
After finishing today’s portion of medicinal cuisine and making another one tomorrow, the dog demon meat would be gone.
The shortage of cultivation resources was truly a troubling matter.
As the stewing went on and the soup in the stew pot began to reduce, Chen Han added boiling water he had prepared.
Just as he put the lid back onto the stew pot, he received a telephone call.
It was Director Chen from the county culture and tourism bureau.
It should be about the online situation.
He answered, and the other party’s voice came through. “Chen Family Head, congratulations, the Chen Clan has gained a huge wave of popularity. When the Chen Clan National Style Event is held, it will definitely be a big success.”
“Thank you for your auspicious words, Director Chen,” Chen Han said with a smile.
Chen Kai continued, “Chen Family Head, the main reason I’m calling is to tell you two pieces of good news. The first is that because of the online dog abuse situation, the New City News from the province will come to the Chen Clan today to do a special interview about those stray dog incidents, and by the way, interview your Chen Clan’s martial arts.”
“This will not only let the Chen Clan do a good round of promotion, but also help avoid those dog-hating groups later pointing fingers about stray dogs being unsafe and questioning whether they might bite tourists and so on, which would have some impact.”
“Director Chen, about what time will the New City News people arrive?” Chen Han did not expect the province’s main news program to come to interview the Chen Clan.
This was indeed very good promotion and could also prevent dog-hating groups from making a fuss.
Dog-hating groups were almost in extreme opposition to dog lovers. One side extremely loved dogs, the other extremely hated them. At a certain place’s dog meat festival, people from both sides had even fought and caused bloodshed.
To be honest, for normal people, as long as they did not own dogs themselves, they basically would not be extreme dog lovers or extreme dog haters.
Once anything becomes extreme, it is pathological.
“They will probably arrive around evening. At that time, please help arrange food and lodging for them,” Chen Kai said, then quickly shared the other good news. “The other matter is that Liu Fangfang finished interrogation last night. The evidence is basically conclusive. Our county will prosecute her. It can be considered killing the chicken to warn the monkeys.”
Chen Han was a bit surprised at this news.
So fast?
Normally, it would not move this quickly.
But thinking of who was calling him now, it was no surprise.
When he hung up, a prompt from the game system appeared:
【Because of the scheme of Left Path ‘Barking Immortal Guest,’ you decided to resolve him according to humanity, but unexpectedly the demonic cult rogue deliberately let him go. When you found ‘Barking Immortal Guest,’ he had already been eliminated by the demonic cult rogue, and you did not need to act. Only a special Dog Tooth Whistle was left on the spot!】
【Congratulations, you have obtained a special Dog Tooth Whistle!】
So this time he had completely taken advantage of the demonic cult rogue?
However, that was not important. What mattered was he had gained a reward.
Judging from the name Dog Tooth Whistle, he knew it must be related to dogs. Checking the warehouse, he indeed saw a whistle shaped like a dog tooth, engraved with special runes.
【This is a special flute made by Left Path ‘Barking Immortal Guest.’ It has a special effect. After being blown, within a certain range it can summon your own canine beast pet, which will rush over at once.】
Seeing the remark information for the Dog Tooth Whistle, Chen Han immediately took it out and tried blowing it once.
After all, he happened to have a canine beast pet, the Dog Demon King.
This thing seemed a bit tasteless and its effect did not look that great, but thinking about it, it would definitely be useful at some point. After all, You Cai the dog would not always be with him. When he needed to find Doggy, he could just blow the Dog Tooth Whistle.
Who knew, maybe someday it would become a great tool for showing off. Blow a whistle, and Doggy would charge over from far away. Not every dog could do that.
The sound of the Dog Tooth Whistle was a bit sharp, and when blown, it seemed to have a special kind of vibration.
After a short while, he looked surprised, because he heard barking outside. And it was not just one dog, it was a group.
Then he saw You Cai leading a pack of dogs inside. Once in, they barked at him, as if asking what was going on.
Chen Han was amazed at this scene. It seemed the Dog Tooth Whistle could help him show off even more.
If You Cai was with these dogs and he summoned the Dog King, the other dogs would follow.
So with one whistle, a whole group of dogs from elsewhere would surge over. That would be quite spectacular. At that time, he could show this to the New City News team from the province, to prove these dogs were well trained and would not hurt or bite people.
What surprised Chen Han was that despite the medicinal cuisine smelling so good, the dogs were not attracted. Everyone knew dogs had the keenest sense of smell. Normally, You Cai would have been drawn by the medicinal cuisine.
It was probably because the stew was made from dog demon meat.
The idea that dogs normally do not eat meat of their own kind, and even reject it, did not seem baseless.
At this moment, Chen Lin’s voice sounded from outside. “Xiao Han, did you know the doctors came to give vaccinations, so you gathered the dogs first?”
Chen Han could only say this was a coincidence. Instead of answering, he said, “Since the doctors are here, arrange the shots. Call Uncle Dagou and the others back to help maintain order at the scene.”
“Okay!” Chen Lin nodded. Before long, quite a few people from the Chen Clan came. After all, once you adopt a dog, people are like that: even just one night is enough to build feelings.
So that Mr. Zhao online who could not forget Nana after a one-night encounter at the Chicken Farm was not strange at all.
Three doctors had come. Giving vaccines and deworming for nearly 40 dogs would take some time. But it was clear the three doctors were very surprised when they arrived. They kept scanning the faces of Chen Han and Chen Lin, especially Chen Lin, clearly having seen the online news and knowing he was the Chen Clan’s white vest expert.
He was very popular today.
The three doctors were obviously very competent. With You Cai the Dog King holding the field, the dogs did not make trouble, and vaccines and deworming went very smoothly.
“Senior brother!” Xiao Yu came over and greeted her senior brother.
Seeing her, Chen Han asked, “Junior sister, urge them about the dog armor. It’d be best if it can arrive this afternoon. New City News from the province is coming to interview the Chen Clan today. If the armor arrives, we can have them make a fully armed appearance.”
“New City News from the province?” Xiao Yu was also surprised by this news. She immediately took out her phone to contact them, and shortly said, “Senior brother, they have already shipped. I paid an extra express fee, so it can arrive this afternoon.”
“Good.” Chen Han nodded. That studio was indeed reliable. In the afternoon, they delivered the items to the Chen Clan. The dog armor quality was excellent, and since his junior sister had measured the dogs’ sizes, all kinds of sizes were available.
Because of different body sizes, the prices varied. The expensive sets were 600, the cheaper ones were a little over 300, totaling more than 20,
But thinking of nearly 40 dogs all wearing such armor, plus the flags that read “The family head sent me to patrol the mountain” and “Chen Clan guardian spirit dogs,” they would definitely become a very beautiful scenery line and a major feature of the Chen Clan.
All those dogs were kept in Chen Lin’s courtyard, so they carried the armor inside.
“Come here!” Chen Han picked one up and walked toward You Cai.
If the Dog King wore it, the other dogs would be easy to handle.
You Cai now seemed almost like a spirit. He naturally understood and walked over to stand still, even looking eagerly at the armor in Chen Han’s hand.
In a few quick moves, Chen Han put the armor on You Cai, and his eyes lit up. With the armor, the Dog King really looked quite majestic and imposing.
“Woof woof woof!” After putting on the armor, You Cai barked excitedly, seemingly very satisfied. He even jumped onto the courtyard’s water reservoir edge to admire his own armored reflection.
This scene amazed Chen Lin and the others.
“Senior brother, is he showing off?” Xiao Yu asked subconsciously.
Chen Han smiled. Seeing him like that, he could tell the dog was definitely showing off.
Soon, after all the dogs had put on their armor, and they had fixed flags reading “The family head sent me to patrol the mountain” and “Chen Clan guardian spirit dogs” onto the armor of several larger dogs, the entire pack changed instantly. They gained a kind of dignity and dominance, looking just like a real dog demon army.
When they gathered together, the sight was stunning.
If they went out patrolling in such formation, the impact would be even greater. Anyone who saw it would be shocked.
…
Time passed and evening soon came. Two vehicles drove toward the Chen Clan. One was clearly from the county, the other was a dedicated filming vehicle, also marked as from the county, but borrowed by New City News from the province.
“Miss Wu, thank you for coming down for this interview. We’re almost at the Chen Clan,” Chen Kai said with a smile when he saw they were about to arrive.
Originally, he had planned for the Chen Family Head to come welcome them, but Miss Wu wanted a more realistic shoot, so she did not allow them to notify in advance and even their arrival was rather abrupt.
However, New City News from the province was very authoritative. With them coming to interview, many problems with online keyboard warriors could be avoided.
The cars stopped at the Chen Clan Parking Lot. As soon as she got out, Wu Ying looked toward the Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex ahead.
She was extremely picky, especially about tourism, because her program had covered many scenic spots and she had a benchmark in her heart.
And this Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex gave her a sense of surprise at first glance. She was attracted immediately.
“Start filming. Get a full panorama of these buildings,” Wu Ying immediately instructed the cameraman, then picked up her microphone. She was sure that based on this initial overall view at the entrance, no ancient building scenic spot in the entire province could surpass the Chen Clan.
Hearing her instructions, the cameraman quickly set up the camera. But just then, he stared in shock at something behind Wu Ying. The others were also stunned.
Especially Chen Kai. His face even changed color. Something unexpected had happened the moment they arrived. If there was an accident now, it would be truly awkward, and the Chen Clan might not escape rectification.
From the expressions of the cameraman and Chen Kai, Wu Ying sensed something was wrong, and she noticed their gazes were fixed behind her.
She turned her head subconsciously and widened her eyes at the big head that had appeared before her.
