Legendary Battle Pet

As they approached the village, suddenly, a series of urgent dog barks sounded from a short distance away. Hearing this, they exchanged a glance and immediately hurried in that direction.

As they got closer, the two discovered that a pack of "Black Jackals" was currently attacking a very lean "Golden Retriever."

The golden retriever struggled desperately, trying to block the pack of black Jackals from entering the village. However, it was outnumbered and on the brink of death.

The black Jackals snarled menacingly and launched another attack on the golden retriever, intending to finish it off.

"Woof woof!"

The golden retriever fell into despair. Seeing this, Azrul couldn't bear it and rushed forward, ready to fight the black Jackals. But in the next moment, Ethen acted first, summoning his Netherworld Emerald Eye Riolux.

As soon as Blux appeared, it let out a loud cry. It exuded a terrifying aura, the unique pressure of a Bronze Level 9 battle pet, spreading widely.

Feeling this pressure, the black Jackals that were charging forward suddenly froze. They were mostly Iron Level magical beasts and had never encountered a battle pet as powerful as Blux.

Faced with Blux, they immediately lost their courage. The black Jackals, possessing a decent level of intelligence, realized that with Blux's intervention, they had no chance against the golden retriever today.

Thus, following the lead wolf's command, they quickly fled into the distance. Blux's mere presence scared off dozens of black Jackals.

This display of power left Azrul in deep admiration.

Seeing the black Jackals retreat on their own, Ethen did not have Blux pursue them. He quickly approached the golden retriever, crouching down to check its injuries.

Noticing that the golden retriever had suffered some superficial wounds, Ethen, feeling compassionate, took out a healing pill and gave it to the dog.

After consuming the pill, the golden retriever's injuries began to heal. It looked at Ethen gratefully, barking softly.

"Master, it's expressing gratitude to you."

Blux's voice echoed in Ethen's mind.

Blux, who was in sync with Ethen's thoughts, could communicate with the golden retriever, acting as a translator to convey the dog's intentions to Ethen.

"No need to thank me. I'm looking to find out if there's a woman named Juliana Joly in Shuangshui Village," Ethen said, looking at Blux.

Blux immediately relayed Ethen's question to the golden retriever. Upon hearing this, the golden retriever nodded and indicated that it was indeed the pet of Juliana Joly.

"Ah! What a coincidence!" Ethen was initially taken aback, then overjoyed.

To successfully find out Juliana Joly's whereabouts was undoubtedly the best outcome. Grateful to Ethen, the golden retriever sensed that he and his companions were not bad people, so it led Ethen and Azrul into Shuangshui Village.

Shuangshui Village was home to only seven or eight households, all simple mountain folk who lived off the land. At the western end of the village, there was a small courtyard with three thatched cottages.

Once the golden retriever reached the courtyard, it signaled for Ethen to enter with it. Ethen understood that this was likely Juliana Joly's residence.

Immediately, he followed the golden retriever into the yard. The furnishings in the courtyard were quite modest, and Azrul was very surprised by the sight.

This place was nothing like the extravagant home of Aunt Juliana described by his father, who spoke of her as someone who earned and spent money extravagantly. Instead, it resembled a simple farmer's dwelling.

Upon entering the courtyard, the golden retriever darted into the house. A moment later, it returned to the courtyard. The door curtain was lifted, and a somewhat weary looking middle aged woman emerged from the house.

The woman was slender, with dry and lackluster hair, though her features were still quite proper, suggesting that she had been quite attractive in her youth.

"Thank you both for saving my golden retriever. We are just a humble mountain family and have little to offer, but please have some tea in the courtyard," she said, starting to prepare the tea.

"No need to hurry. Are you Juliana Joly?" Ethen asked, gesturing for her to stop.

Hearing this, the woman was taken aback and looked at Ethen with a puzzled expression. It was clear that Ethen was a stranger to her.

"Aunt Juliana, it's been many years. Do you remember me?" Azrul stepped forward enthusiastically.

"And you are?" Juliana Joly found Azrul somewhat familiar but couldn't immediately recall who he was.

"I'm Azrul from Heishui Town. My father is Azizul Ling. Many years ago, he brought me to visit you several times," Azrul explained.

"Azrul, are you Azizul Ling's child, little Azrul?"

Juliana Joly's face lit up with delight. Immediately, she looked more closely at Azrul's face and indeed found some traces from her memory.

"It's really you, little Azrul!"

Juliana Joly excitedly grasped Azrul's hands.

"I remember the last time I saw you, you were not even a meter tall, and now you've grown so tall. It's wonderful, truly wonderful," Juliana Joly remarked with emotion.

Saying this, she brought over some stools and invited Azrul and Ethen to sit down. Azrul and Juliana Joly began reminiscing about the past, while Ethen sat quietly, listening.

"Aunt Juliana, didn't you used to live in Cangjie Town? Why did you move to this remote Shuangshui Village?" Azrul asked curiously.

"Ah, it's a long story. Little Azrul, do you remember the child named Pina that I adopted many years ago?" Juliana Joly looked at Azrul. Upon hearing this, a look of recollection appeared on Azrul's face.

Remembering scenes from his childhood, he exclaimed with joy, "Yes, Aunt Juliana, what about Pina? Isn't she here?"

Azrul and Juliana Joly's adopted daughter, Pina, were about the same age, and they had played together as children, developing a good relationship...

"Don't even mention it, Pina turned out to be an ingrate..." Juliana Joly sighed, beginning to recount the events in detail.

Juliana Joly's transformation from a relatively affluent young woman to her current state was largely due to Pina.
