Edge of the Emerald Star

Compared with other southern urban agglomerations, Lion Circle is closer to the middle-end urban agglomeration mainly inhabited by Org, and is a satellite city of the middle-end urban agglomeration.

Kodachi and Meimei feel as if they have entered a completely different world.Strange high-rise buildings and buildings, beautiful lights, and many orgs dressed in luxury, this is a scene that you can't see in the southern city.

"It's so beautiful here!" As soon as she stepped out of the corridor, Meimei looked around excitedly.

She ran around, but was suddenly grabbed by the collar, and then grabbed like a puppy.

"What is this? What an ugly dog."

The one pulling Meimei was a blond hound, Meimei didn't know this hound, but Xiaodachi and Xinghua knew each other very well.Xinghua felt that he and Qinghui were destined too much, and met him and his hounds as soon as he stepped out of the corridor.

Ron, the new hound, took the lead, followed by a dozen hounds, which was a huge army.

"Let her go!" Kodachi issued a warning sound, holding both swords in his hands.

The enemy was extremely jealous when they met, Ron looked at the little sword with disdain, and shook the little girl in his hand.

"Your new partner? Like you, doesn't look very popular..." Ron smiled, and the other hounds followed suit.

Meimei bit her lower lip, looking like she was about to cry.

"Master Xinghua went to the host of Yanzhi Forest, and he only brought back this toy dog?" Qinghui added, he is now very sure that Xinghua's vision is wrong, so let's forget about the little Taidao, and now he brought back another dog An unremarkable toy dog... "Ah! Could it be for breeding?"

"Breeding with such an ugly little girl is quite in line with your conditions." Ron challenged.

"It's not for breeding, but..."

Xinghua was eager to explain, but before he could explain, his two hounds had already started to run away.

Kodachi grabbed the two knives and rushed towards Ron. Ron was prepared this time, but he was not afraid of Kodachi's surprise attack.But before he could get ready for battle, the little girl he was carrying started crying.A crying little girl with a red nose is of course not threatening to Ron, but only if she is not aggressive...

Meimei kicked up and hit Ron's jaw directly. The force was so strong that it shocked Ron dizzy.

While Meimei jumped away, Kodachi grabbed the knife and beat Ron with the handle.The ferocious Kodachi seemed to want to avenge the last time, and he hit Ron hard while sitting on top of Ron.

"Pfft!" Ron was so beaten that he couldn't fight back, so he hurriedly asked the other hounds nearby for help.

Only then did the other hounds, who were stunned, come to their senses and rushed forward one by one to pull the katana away. After finally pulling away a certain distance, Ron was able to bend his knees and kick the katana away.

The little Taidao was held up by several hounds, and Ron got up in embarrassment. He was so angry that he didn't care whether it was too despicable to take advantage of others, so he grabbed the knife and wanted to pay back.

The scene was already chaotic enough. At this moment, the petite Meimei pulled out an iron bucket much bigger than her body from nowhere.

"Let go of Kodachi!" Meimei held up the iron bucket. It's okay for her to bully Kodachi, but it's not okay for others to bully Kodachi.

The huge iron bucket weighed dozens of kilograms by visual inspection, and it was unknown what was inside. The hounds shrouded in the shadows were stunned, and even Ron stopped moving.

Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more chaotic, Xinghua and Qinghui were about to stop it when Meimei, who was holding the iron bucket, suddenly trembled, wailed twice and fell down, and the iron bucket fell heavily to the ground.

"Meme!"

Xiao Taidao broke free from the restraints and ran towards Meimei, only to find that standing behind Meimei was an AI with an electric shock device in his hand, which was suspected to be the thing that caused Meimei to fall.

Kodachi sprints towards AI, AI raises the electric shock device and is about to shoot at Kodachi, but Kodachi twists his center of gravity and easily dodges, he stretches his legs and kicks AI's face suddenly, AI's glass eyeballs are kicked out, There is also the sizzle of electric light.

"Little Taidao!"

Little Taidao was about to make up a few feet, but he heard Xinghua's cry, and then he stabbed in the back, and a violent electric current was transmitted, and he fell to the ground unsupported.

What are you doing!Xiao Taidao held on to look behind him, and it turned out that there was another AI behind him.

"It is stipulated in the lion circle that the hounds can only wrestle in the arena, and the hounds are forbidden to wrestle outside the arena. Please follow the rules." The AI ​​who subdued the small sword smiled, and behind him Other AIs.

Xinghua and Qinghui stood where they were, and could only say yes with some embarrassment.

With a livid face, Qinghui hurriedly led away his hunting dog.Ron ran into Xiao Taidao this time, and was not surprised to die again. Qinghui seemed a little angry, and before leaving, he said to Xinghua: "See you at the Colosseum!"

This beam seems to be knotted.Sighing lightly, Xinghua picked up the little Taidao that was slumped on the ground, and looked at Meimei who was also limp, and he smiled helplessly.

Should it be said that he found a good fighting partner for Kodachi?Or should it be said that he has found a good partner in destruction?

A commotion can be caused wherever there is a katana, and this time with Meimei, the commotion is not on an ordinary scale.

Because it caused too much commotion and attracted a lot of Org onlookers, Xinghua had made up his mind to keep a low profile this time, but he didn't expect it to attract so much attention.

I just got off the lion enclosure, and I haven't even stepped into the arena, and almost caused a fight outside. I don't know how this matter will be spread... Is it possible that it will spread to the north?

Getting up from the orange nutrient pool, Xinghua added something to the water this time, he hoped it would help him.

Xinghua put on his robe and went out of the dining room, and it was time for Kodachi and the others to wake up.

"Damn AI!" Sure enough, Kodachi was getting up from the bed, cursing non-stop.

"Xiaohua..." Meimei was lying on the sofa, not quite moving yet.

"Are you two okay?"

Xinghua picked up Meimei and patted her, put her on the comfortable sofa, and poured her a glass of water.It's only natural to do this to Meimei, but if you do this to Kodachi...

"Xinghua!" Xiao Taidao roared angrily.

Xinghua held Xiaodachi like he was hugging a big leopard. Xiaotachi struggled, but he was not very strong after the electric shock, so Xinghua still held him in his arms.

If you are a small Taidao, you will not be given water, and you will be fed directly!

"Come on, add some strength." Xinghua stuffed his mouthparts into Xiaodachi's mouth.

"——Mmmmmmm!"

Meimei was dumbfounded, water flowed from the corner of her mouth.She wiped her mouth, looking curious.

"Are you kissing Kodachi?"

"Ok?"

"The mouthpart is Org's mouth, your mouth touches Kodachi's mouth, isn't that a kiss?" Meimei asked.She saw kisses for the first time.

This kind of statement is quite new, Xinghua has never heard of it, he smiled and took it as a default.

"I also want to kiss." Meimei pouted.

"You're still too young, wait until you're older!" Xinghua just said it perfunctorily.

But Meimei herself didn't care so much, she quickly regained her spirits and ran around to visit.

Xiao Taidao struggled with his mouthparts, tried to open his mouthparts several times, but found that pinching his esophagus was like pinching his own esophagus, so he gave up and could only be force-fed obediently. And sweet liquid.

"Bastard!" After being let go with difficulty, Xiao Tai Dao cursed at the beginning, but only Xinghua patted his head lovingly.

"Wow! Where is this place? It's so beautiful!" Meimei's voice came loudly from the living room.

Xinghua put down the little dagger and moved to the living room.Meimei was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, excitedly looking at the scene in front of her and shouting, this was a scene she had never seen before.

There is a large area of ​​scenery in front of me, some places are like swamps, some are like forests, and some are places with yellow sand. It is a very large field surrounded by buildings.

"We are in the 'stand' outside the arena."

"Grandstand?"

"The hound wrestling is held there, and all Orgs who are interested can use the rooms here. Watch the game from these rooms, you see..." Xinghua tapped a few times on the glass curtain, and the screen immediately showed picture.

"We can zoom in and out wherever we want."

"It's amazing!" Meimei jumped.

"Fantastic! You are not a spectator, but a participant." Xiao Taidao sat on the sofa, saw something in front of him, and started to eat, hurting Meimei by the way.

"what?"

"Haven't you told this guy yet?" Xiaodachi looked at Xinghua.

Xinghua just said ah, and clapped his palm with his fist.

"Xiaodachi is right, Xiaomei, you have to compete with Xiaodachi properly!"

"Slow, wait, Xiao Hua, don't you want me to be your play dog?"

"No, I brought you back because I took a fancy to your ability as a hunting dog." Xinghua held Meimei's arm, which looked thin but was actually very strong.

Meimei looked dull: "But, but I, I have never been trained as a hunting dog."

"It doesn't matter, you are just in charge of assisting Kodachi. Besides, the competition schedule has not yet started. During this period, Kodachi will teach you some simple things. It doesn't matter if you haven't been trained as a hunting dog." Xinghua patted Meimei's head: "Don't worry, Kodachi Would be a good mentor."

——Isn't that the problem?

Xiao Taidao couldn't help but glared at Xinghua, while Meimei looked as if she had been hit hard, with an expression on her face that she was about to cry.

Just when Xiao Taidao thought that Meimei was going to cry, she swallowed patiently, and the tears shrank back: "I know, I will work hard for Xiaohua!"

It seems that the petite toy dog ​​is keeping the promise he made to Xinghua.Xiao Taidao raised his eyebrows, took a bite of the pastry, and his eyes fell on Xing Hua who was smiling harmlessly.

From the very beginning, he felt that there was something weird about this guy... Where the hell is it?Body?Face?hair?hair……

"your hair!"

As soon as Xiao Taidao shouted, Meimei's gaze was also fixed on Xinghua's hair.

The silver hair emitting a faint blue light turned golden and dazzling at some point, and even the mouthparts around the ears became much darker.

"Amazing, isn't it? I took some time to turn it into blonde hair." Xinghua laughed and tousled his hair.

Xiao Taidao secretly grabbed a bunch of Xinghua's hair with his fingers, and the hair was stuck between his fingers, not as smooth as before, and he couldn't help frowning.

Feeling his scalp being pulled, Xinghua, who was walking in front, looked back, only to see Kodachi frowning and staring at his hair.

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing!" Xiao Taidao hurriedly wanted to get rid of his hair, but the hair was stuck in his hand, and he couldn't shake it off no matter what.

"Ah, I'm sorry, this is dyed with a kind of insect scale powder. Although the effect is good, it will make the hair rough." Xinghua carefully untied the hair on Xiaodachi's fingers.

"Why did you change the color?" Kodachi didn't let go of his frown.

"There's a reason..." Xinghua didn't finish speaking, and suddenly covered his mouth and smiled.

"what?"

"Do you prefer my natural hair?"

"Hu, hu, nonsense!" Xiao Taidao blushed, and Xinghua felt itchy in his heart when he saw that.

"Xiaohua! Let's go!" Meimei ran over and took Xinghua's hand.

"well."

The lion circle is most famous for hound wrestling, and the arena, which is the main place for hound wrestling, is of course the largest place in the entire city, accounting for almost half of the entire city.

The so-called grandstand is equivalent to a building that merges into a circle and encloses the arena. It has a huge and vast area, and houses and shops are all inside.And because there are all kinds of Orgs who come to watch the game, they usually come with a bunch of hounds and toy dogs, so the lion circle arena is far more lively than the outside.

Because Meimei knew that she was bought as a hunting dog instead of a play dog, she looked very shocked, Xinghua decided to make up for her, and took her out to buy some beautiful clothes and novel food.

Xiao Taidao followed quietly along the way, as if he was still dissatisfied with his hair, Xinghua didn't say much, and let Xiao Taidao scratch his hair from time to time.

After dyeing her hair color, Xinghua felt that she seemed less conspicuous... In the corner of the huge and gorgeous living room, in an inconspicuous small box, an org or two people were staring at the Big Mac sundae on the table , nobody noticed them.

"Wow! This food is delicious..." Meimei's saliva was drooling.

Xiao Taidao didn't despise Meimei Dirty, because he himself was almost drooling.

Sundae—Xinghua knew that this thing was made of cream, but he had never tasted it, and it was the first time he saw it today. This thing seemed to have an inexplicable attraction to human beings.

Meimei kept digging the sundae with a spoon and stuffing it into her mouth at the speed of a hole puncher.

Xinghua looked at Xiao Taidao with a face of not knowing where to start, as if he felt ashamed to compete with a little girl for food.

If you don't eat, you will be eaten... Xinghua chuckled, and then continued to watch Xiaodachi's embarrassment.

Just when Kodachi raised his momentum and was about to strike, there was a sudden commotion not far away.

The Org who appeared in the living room looked very imposing, with crescent-colored hair and golden mouthparts, which meant that he was not an impure Org like Yue Mu, but similar to an Org in a middle-end city, only separated from his mother. several generations.

"It's Jin Cheng."

Xinghua heard the voice of whispering in the box next door.

Jin Cheng, the Org who is in charge of the lion circle, is also the organizer of each competition in the arena. After each competition, he will give the winners generous prizes. I heard that he has a lot of private collections, including the products left by human beings in the past.

So this is Jin Cheng... Xinghua looked at the Org who entered through the gate. He had only heard his name before, but it was the first time he had met him.

Jin Cheng is surrounded by many toy dogs. Like some Orgs, Jin Cheng even has a complete collection of toy dogs. The toy dogs that accompany him are almost all beautiful beauties.

Among them is a toy dog ​​that is particularly eye-catching. She is wearing a robe and tulle covers half of her face, but as long as you see half of her face, you can know that her facial features are deep and beautiful.

When passing by them, Xinghua noticed that the toy dog ​​took a look here, not looking at him, but...

Kodachi and the toy dog ​​looked at each other for a few seconds.

Xinghua didn't know what was going on with him, so he suddenly grabbed the long spoon from Meimei's hand, dug out a spoonful of the sundae, and stuffed it into Xiao Taidao's mouth.Kodachi looked back with a puzzled expression on his face.

Jin Cheng ignored Xinghua and the others and passed by, and the play dog ​​stopped looking at Xiaodachi.

Kodachi spat out the spoon in his mouth: "What are you doing!"

"I just want to feed you." Xinghua said casually.

Little Taidao pursed his lips and turned his head away: "I know how to eat myself!"

Xinghua just smiled and didn't say anything more.

After Jin Cheng passed by with a group of toy dogs, many Orgs appeared around him one after another. They communicated and showed off their most beautiful toy dogs and best hunting dogs, but no one had a toy dog ​​as good as Jin Cheng's. Collection of play dogs.

"That toy dog ​​is special..."

Xinghua heard the Org in the next box ask the AI.

"That's master Jin Cheng's favorite play dog, Mister Butterfly, are you interested?"

"Yes, but will Jin Cheng let it go?"

"To be honest, in order to increase the spectacle of this wrestling match, one of the prizes Mr. Jin Cheng gave to the winner is Mister Butterfly!" AI replied.

"Is there really such a thing?"

Xinghua poked his head out, and the guests in the next room spoke at the same time.

They both looked at each other.

Ah, it's Qinghui.

Ah, it's Xinghua.

Xinghua is troubled... Even if he avoids the eyes and ears of others, he has forgotten that there is still Qing Hui.After seeing him change the new hair color, Qinghui also obviously showed a suspicious expression to him, obviously wanting to question why he changed the hair color.

Although Qinghui left without saying anything in order to prevent the hounds from both sides from having a big fight before the wrestling match, Xinghua was still somewhat worried.

However, regardless of this trivial matter, Xinghua is still facing other major issues at the moment——

Xiao Taidao came in from the door covered in hot sweat, followed by Meimei.

The hound wrestling match will start in a few days. Xinghua specially set up a training room for Kodachi to practice his physical strength. Of course, Meimei, who has no hound experience, is also arrested and trained a few moves that are enough to assist and save his life.

At first, Xinghua was still wondering if it would be too difficult for a little girl like Meimei to do this kind of training... until the first day of training was over, Xiao Taidao came back with bruises on his face.

On the first day, Kodachi walked in with a bad expression and said, "Fuck! She hit me with a dozen-pound equipment."

"I'm sorry," Meme said.

The next day, Kodachi walked in with a livid face and said, "This time it's an iron bucket."

"I'm sorry," Meme said again.

And last time...

"Don't ask me anything!"

"..." Meimei didn't speak.

This time, what is the disaster?

Xinghua waited, but Kodachi ignored him, slipped a note to him, and rushed into the bathroom.Xinghua spread out the note and saw that it was a quotation, a quotation for all the equipment in the training room that was damaged by the two of them.

"I'm sorry..." Meimei bowed her head and apologized like a child who has done something wrong.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter." Xinghua just touched her gently.

"But Xiaodachi seems to be angry, he doesn't talk to me... Is, is it because I threw him out today? But, but that's because he has been holding me today! That's why I... ..." Meimei hastily explained.

Xinghua nodded, and had a general understanding of the situation: "I don't think it's because he was angry."

"really?"

"Really...you go back to your room to take a shower, eat something and take a nap. I'll go and see Kodachi."

"Okay!" Meimei responded, regained her spirits, and ran back to her room bouncing around.

It's probably not the first time that Xinghua broke in while taking a bath to bother him.

At first Kodachi was very repulsive and would find him annoying, but recently he seemed to get used to it.Seeing him coming in, Kodachi turned off the hot water, shook his head like a puppy, ran past him naked, and ran out, aiming at the iced milk on the table.

Xinghua always prepares a cup and puts it there.

Xiao Taidao just sat there, poured down what he had prepared in one go, and put down the cup with a thud.

"That guy is not a play dog ​​at all, she is a natural hunting dog!" Xiaodachi took the initiative to speak, pointing to the scar on his waist: "Look, how strong she is!"

Just as Xinghua thought, Kodachi, who always bursts out in anger, is unlikely to express his anger in silence, so rather than being angry, the silence is more like the performance of Kodachi when he feels surprised.

"You mean I don't have to worry about the glove match?"

"Not only do you not have to worry, I think you can send her alone!" Xiao Taidao smiled rare, and he suddenly narrowed his eyes at Xinghua: "Xiaohua, tell me, if Meimei follows me, just relying on the two of us, there will be no trouble." Is it not possible to bring down a pack of hounds and their masters, and end up destroying the entire planet with ease?"

Kodachi's idea is a bit whimsical, a bit... dangerous.

"Are you planning to destroy me too?" Xinghua asked with a smile on his face without scolding Xiao Taidao.

"Just kidding! If I destroy you, I will also destroy myself!"

"I mean if the situation after we terminate the contract has no effect on you, will you destroy me? Or take me?"

Xiao Tai Dao froze for a moment, his brows gradually furrowed.

I'm thinking about it, I'm thinking about it.Xinghua thought to himself, he didn't ask for the answer he wanted, but just had a little hope in his heart.

Just when he thought Xiaodachi would simply answer him "destroy", Xiaodachi said vaguely: "Anyway, Meimei won't let me destroy you, take it with you!"

Then, Xinghua found himself laughing uncontrollably.

"Laugh fart!"

"Okay, don't laugh, do you want another glass of milk?" Before Xiaodachi could respond, Xinghua poured him another glass.

Xiao Tai Dao was still poured down with the momentum of a cow drink, with a white beard around his mouth.

Xinghua stared at Xiao Taidao licking and licking there, and suddenly thought of Xiao Taidao and Mr. Butterfly looking at each other today.

"By the way, why have you been looking at that toy dog ​​today? Think she is beautiful?" Xinghua's heart beat a little faster.

"Pretty or something..." Xiaodachi really had no idea, he tilted his head: "I just think that guy is weird."

Kodachi actually used that guy to describe a beautiful toy dog...

Xinghua didn't know if he should feel relieved.The moment Xiaodachi and Mr. Butterfly looked at each other, he almost thought that his beagle had taken a fancy to each other.

Xinghua always felt that Xiaodachi was insensitive to his feelings, and he hoped that the so-called strange feeling of Xiaodachi was not a chemical hormone produced by human beings when they were looking for a mate.

——He is worried that Kodachi has "feelings" for other people.
