On the way home—
Just as they neared the Residential Complex,
a white Chihuahua suddenly darted out from the roadside, blocking their path and barking wildly at Fang Ping.
Zhou Chenchen quickly crouched down, trying to scoop Fang Ping up.
But Fang Ping jumped away. It was just a small dog—he didn't need Zhou Chenchen's protection.
Standing nearby was a woman in her thirties, chatting with someone.
She glanced over—seemed to be the Chihuahua's owner—
But she didn't bother to restrain her pet, letting it bark as it pleased.
"Whose dog is this?"
"Can you please keep it in check?"
Zhou Chenchen asked when she saw the Chihuahua blocking the road and preventing her and Fang Ping from passing.
"That's my dog. What about it?"
The woman finally paused her chat, but still made no move to control the Chihuahua.
"It's blocking the road and barking like crazy. We can't get through!"
Zhou Chenchen reminded her.
The woman bristled—like a cat with its fur standing on end.
"So what if it barks a bit?"
"The road's wide."
"Can't you just go around?"
Her tone toward Zhou Chenchen was not friendly.
In the Live Streaming Room, the audience was getting annoyed.
...
"What's with this woman? It's clearly her dog's fault, but she refuses to admit it."
"Must be a menopausal breakdown—this is a condition, she needs help."
"If I were Lord, I'd have slapped that Chihuahua already."
"If I ever run into this woman, I'll teach her a lesson every time."
...
Zhou Chenchen tried stepping aside with Fang Ping,
But the Chihuahua still wouldn't quit.
It darted forward again and blocked their way once more.
"See?"
"It's still blocking us."
"Can you do something now?"
Zhou Chenchen repeated to the woman.
She had no idea why this little dog was so aggressive toward Fang Ping.
Thankfully, her Lord was in a good mood today—
Otherwise, this Chihuahua would've been smacked into next week.
"Just let it bark for a while!"
"My little dog is very well-behaved."
"It normally doesn't bark like this. Maybe your cat provoked it before?"
The woman was extremely indulgent of her Chihuahua—
and even gave Fang Ping a suspicious glare.
Zhou Chenchen was about to speak again—
when Fang Ping lightly tapped her pant leg.
She looked down at him.
Fang Ping flicked his tail upright—
The message was clear: Leave this to me.
He'd held back earlier only because Zhou Chenchen was trying to resolve things peacefully.
But clearly—
Some people don't understand reason.
"Lord, don't scratch the dog too hard."
Zhou Chenchen crouched and whispered a reminder.
She wasn't worried about Lord getting hurt—he wasn't even afraid of tigers.
But if that Chihuahua got injured, the woman might make a huge fuss.
Fang Ping stepped forward—
But dealing with a Chihuahua didn't even require effort.
That little thing, somehow short-circuited in the brain, backed up a few steps when Fang Ping approached.
It edged closer to its owner and continued barking.
At that moment, the woman also stared at Fang Ping—
Clearly ready to cause trouble if he so much as scratched her dog.
Fang Ping stayed silent.
He had just gained a Deterrence Skill—
Might as well test it out on this mutt.
As his King of Beasts aura radiated outward,
the woman shivered involuntarily.
The Chihuahua let out a whimper,
tucked its tail between its legs—
and bolted.
"Baby!"
"Where are you going?"
"Come back here!"
The woman panicked.
But the Chihuahua ignored her, running farther and farther away.
"You? I—"
The woman was furious, wanting to pick a fight with Fang Ping,
But didn't dare get close—afraid of getting scratched.
Fang Ping had a lazy expression: I didn't even touch it, and your dog pissed itself out of fear.
Left with no choice, the woman called after her Chihuahua and chased after it.
She hadn't gone far when—snap!
Her high heel broke, and she crashed to the ground.
The fall couldn't have been more pathetic.
In the Live Streaming Room, the viewers were delighted.
...
"She totally deserved that."
"Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. This woman is the definition."
"I'm laughing so hard—her Chihuahua dared challenge Lord? Lady, Lord isn't even afraid of tigers."
"Lord didn't even lift a paw and the dog was terrified. Absolute king energy."
"Should've thought of that earlier."
...
Zhou Chenchen's lips curved into a smile.
"Lord, let's go. Time to head home."
"Time to cook dinner."
She gave him a gentle call.
One girl and one cat continued walking toward the Residential Complex.
Back home, Zhou Chenchen had already completely forgotten about that woman.
"Lord, go watch some TV. I'll start cooking."
She turned the TV on.
Fang Ping glanced at it—he had no interest in TV—
So he lay down on the couch to rest.
Zhou Chenchen, looking like the perfect homemaker, tied on a kitchen apron and walked into the kitchen.
Soon, the smell of delicious food wafted out.
Zhou Chenchen's cooking really was great.
Not long after dinner, today's livestream came to an end.
The viewers wanted more,
But they'd have to wait until tomorrow.
The production crew said goodbye to Zhou Chenchen and Lord and left.
Now it was TV time.
Zhou Chenchen's favorite part of the day—
She stretched her long legs across the couch, hugged Fang Ping, and lazily started binge-watching.
Fang Ping wasn't a fan,
But Zhou Chenchen loved it—
She couldn't sleep without her daily dose of drama.
After a while, Fang Ping's eyes began to droop.
By the time he opened them again, night had fully fallen.
He squinted and looked to the side.
Zhou Chenchen's eyes were red—
She was holding her phone, talking on the call, wiping away tears.
"What happened?"
Fang Ping blinked, cat eyes widening, body tensing.
He sat up straight on the couch.
"How could he do that?"
"How can someone be so cruel?"
"How does a person this heartless even exist?"
Zhou Chenchen sobbed softly, full of grievance, as she poured her heart out over the phone.
"Who?"
"Who was cruel to you?"
Fang Ping's ears shot up—
Claws unsheathed.
His gaze turned sharp and furious.
Who hurt my Zhou Chenchen?
To hurt her is to challenge me.
Make her upset, and I'll make you regret it.
Pray I don't see you in person.
Zhou Chenchen kept crying into the phone.
"I just can't take it anymore."
"He treated the one he loved so coldly—
Heartlessly abandoned her,
Completely forgetting all their beautiful memories."
"Yes! He's awful! I don't like him anymore!"
"You say it was family pressure?"
"He's a man—family pressure isn't an excuse!
If he truly loved her, why didn't he fight for her?"
"Not even a little courage…
Guys like this shouldn't even exist… Poor female lead…"
Fang Ping: "…"
Wait a second—
Something didn't feel right.
Was she talking about… a TV show plot?
