Chapter 73 - 73 Who is more powerful, you or the dog_1
“How come Mommy’s legs still haven’t healed?” Tongtong asked Xu Fan with a bit of surprise. Tongtong was Xu Fan’s number one little fangirl, and she had absolute confidence in Xu Fan, so she was quite astonished to see Xu Yixue still limping.
“Your mom can’t get over the psychological pressure of the injury on her foot, so she’s afraid to put force on it, that’s why she’s walking like that. Don’t worry, I’ll help her overcome it.” Xu Fan affectionately tousled Tongtong’s little head and said confidently.
Looking at Xu Yixue’s continued reluctance to put weight on her foot, Xu Fan pointed at her and shouted at Ben Ben, “Ben Ben, bite her!”
However, in his Divine Sense, Xu Fan also instructed Ben Ben not to actually bite.
Xu Yixue, who was in the midst of testing her foot, could never have anticipated that Xu Fan, that villain, would command the dog to pounce on her viciously with a single order.
Xu Yixue had no time to think about anything else, she let out a shriek and then bolted to the living room doorway, running so fast that there was no sign of her injury.
After a while, hearing no movement behind her, Xu Yixue turned her head around in confusion to see Xu Fan and Tongtong playing with Ben Ben on the ground, with no sign they intended to bite her.
“Tongtong, look, Mommy’s leg really is healed, isn’t it? She just ran so fast,” Xu Fan said to Tongtong with a light laugh.
“Yes, Daddy healed Mommy’s leg, Daddy is a superhero! Thank you, Daddy. Mua!” Tongtong cocked her little head and blew Xu Fan a big kiss, her face full of blind admiration for him.
“Xu Fan, you bastard!” Xu Yixue stretched out her finger and pointed accusingly at Xu Fan, furious that he’d used a dog to scare her. Even though she quickly overcame her psychological barrier regarding her injured foot, she found his actions downright despicable.
“I was helping you get over a psychological barrier. If I had told you in advance, it would have affected the outcome. Weren’t you also a psychology student? You should know about conditioned reflex and rapid desensitization training,” Xu Fan said to Xu Yixue earnestly.
“This is personal vengeance! I won’t let you or your dog off the hook!” Xu Yixue clutched her heaving chest and spat out the words through clenched teeth.
“Ah, how the world has declined, it’s hard to be a good person,” Xu Fan shook his head and showed Tongtong a feigned bitter smile.
“Daddy, Daddy, you did it for Mommy’s own good, Mommy won’t blame you, right Mommy?” Tongtong tenderly patted Xu Fan’s chest, then turned to Xu Yixue with big, begging eyes, her expression full of entreaty.
“Xu Fan, even if you healed my leg, I have to put my foot down. Keeping such a pet at home, I absolutely won’t allow it,” Xu Yixue said sternly, enunciating each word as she spoke to Xu Fan.
“Mommy, Ben Ben is my little sidekick, please don’t make him go away, okay?” Tongtong hopped down from Xu Fan’s arms and ran to Xu Yixue’s side, tugging at her slender hand with a pitiful plea.
“Tongtong, dogs can carry a lot of diseases, don’t you fear getting little bugs on you?” Xu Yixue held Tongtong, speaking softly and gently.
“Ah! Tongtong doesn’t want bugs, Tongtong hates bugs!” Tongtong covered her eyes with her hands, speaking with a hint of fear.
“That’s right. If we don’t come into contact with the dog, we won’t get any bugs, and Tongtong can keep living a healthy life,” Xu Yixue said with a somewhat triumphant smirk.
“But Tongtong likes playing with Ben Ben…” Tongtong said with a whimper, her big eyes filling with tears, nearly crying.
“Does Tongtong want the doggy or Mommy?” Xu Yixue asked Tongtong again.
“Wuwu… Daddy…” Tongtong started to cry, turning to look pitifully at Xu Fan.
On hearing this, Xu Fan’s brow gradually furrowed. Xu Yixue accused him of taking personal revenge, but he hadn’t expected her to be so adept in her own schemes, going as far as to play the card of taking Tongtong away.
“Xu Yixue, do you know why Tongtong likes Ben Ben? Back in America, she didn’t even have a single playmate, so having Ben Ben as her companion has made Tongtong very happy these past few days. As for what you’re talking about, parasites and infectious diseases, my Ben Ben absolutely doesn’t have any. If I can heal its leg, I can keep it clean and tidy,” Xu Fan said seriously to Xu Yixue.
“But what if it bites someone!” Xu Yixue still wouldn’t budge.
“My Ben Ben is not an ordinary dog. Its intelligence is no less than that of a normal person, and moreover, its fighting power won’t be inferior to your bodyguards,” Xu Fan said slowly.
“Xu Fan, don’t you mock me, comparing a dog to me!” Ye Xiaoning protested upon hearing Xu Fan’s words.
After all, she was a special forces soldier, a Phoenix soldier. Normally, several men couldn’t even get close to her in a fight, and here Xu Fan was, claiming she was no better than a dog—how could she not get angry?
“Ye Xiaoning, if you don’t believe it, you can try,” Xu Fan said with a light smile.
“Hmph, just because you’re a Martial Artist doesn’t mean you can insult me like this!” Ye Xiaoning bent her legs, adopting a military boxing stance.
“Ben Ben, go easy—no, bite gently,” Xu Fan advised Ben Ben.
“Woof Woof, this dog will be merciful!” Ben Ben, upon hearing Xu Fan’s command, pushed off with its hind legs, turning into a blur as it charged toward Ye Xiaoning.
“Ah!” A trace of alertness flashed in Ye Xiaoning’s eyes. She raised her hands horizontally in front of her and braced herself with all her might.
Ben Ben moved too fast; all she felt was a white flash rushing at her like the wind. She couldn’t dodge in time and could only hurriedly put up her arms to block.
“Bang!” A powerful force transmitted through Ye Xiaoning’s arms, and she stumbled backward five steps before stabilizing her stance.
“What a powerful dog!” Ye Xiaoning exclaimed in amazement.
Without waiting for Ye Xiaoning to react, Ben Ben once again rushed at her like the wind, right beside her ear.
Ye Xiaoning had a delicate Platinum earring on her ear. In a flash, Ben Ben gently snatched the earring from her ear.
Then, wagging its tail and looking quite pleased with itself, it walked over to Xu Fan and delivered the earring it had taken from Ye Xiaoning into his hand.
“Ye Xiaoning, do you now think it could beat you?” Xu Fan said indifferently to Ye Xiaoning.
After all, Ben Ben had already attained the strength of a Martial Artist, while Ye Xiaoning was just a formidable contender among mortals. Clearly, she couldn’t beat Ben Ben.
“I lost!” Ye Xiaoning said, sounding somewhat dejected.
Xu Yixue watched the dog in shock, never expecting that Ye Xiaoning, who she regarded as a highly skilled martial master, would lose to a dog.
“Xu Yixue, the bodyguard I found for Tongtong isn’t inferior to yours, right?” Xu Fan said to Xu Yixue with a smile.
“Xu Fan! How could my Xiao Ning be compared to a dog, I’ll kill you!” Xu Yixue, fuming, said to him.
