"Baa… Someone come quick, save me, they're going to get Old Jiao's balls!"
The moment Da Jiao, tied to the tree, saw Fang Er, he knew something was wrong and started yelling at the top of his lungs.
Da Jiao had excellent treatment, even better than ordinary Sky Fire Army soldiers!
Top-quality alfalfa was provided in abundance, and he even got two eggs to eat every day.
While other rams had become mere tools for breeding, he still enjoyed the most primitive of pleasures.
This was not only because he was the first stud ram to be let out, but also because Fang Xin and Little Ya liked to tease him.
Hearing the creature's cries, Fang Er's mouth stretched into a grin that reached his ears.
"You damn sheep! If the ruler wants the minister to die, the minister must die!"
"I've raised you for so many years, and you dare to disobey me?"
"It seems you harbor rebellious intentions, and I cannot spare you!" He said, picking up a knife and slowly approaching the ram.
A few patrolling Sky Fire Army soldiers heard the sheep's bleating and rushed over to check the situation. Upon realizing the danger was coming from their own lord, they stopped in their tracks.
"Has the lord's obsession lasted for several years now?"
"Indeed, I remember when the lord first brought Da Jiao back, he was already eyeing those two treasures."
"That's right, the lord was even chased around the courtyard by Da Jiao for it!"
"…"
Fang Er heard the discussion behind him and, with a dark expression, reprimanded, "Are your backs itching? You dare to gossip about your lord?"
"Ten-kilometer cross-country, no finishing means no food!"
"Scram!"
The soldiers instantly lost their enjoyment of eavesdropping. They saluted respectfully and could only go out for a run.
Da Jiao watched Fang Er getting closer and closer, its ferocity gradually showing.
"Egg thief, take a corner from me!"
It took two steps back, then suddenly lowered its head and charged at Fang Er.
However, Fang Er was no longer the same as before. His physique, honed by Sister Tong, was something it couldn't contend with.
Fang Er lightly grabbed one of its horns and, with a slight pull, lifted its upper body. He looked at it mockingly and said,
"You dog-like creature, you still want to butt me!"
"You made me the laughingstock of everyone for so long! Today, I'll take revenge with your balls to clear my shame!"
Da Jiao was stunned. How did this two-legged monster suddenly become so strong?
But just as Fang Er was about to draw his knife, a figure rushed out from a corner, grabbed his leg, and wailed.
"Lord! You can't kill him, you can't kill him!"
"Da Jiao has fathered many of your offspring, and those two balls have also made significant contributions. You can't kill him!"
Fang Er felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't recall who it was. He kicked him to the side and asked somewhat awkwardly,
"What was your name again?"
The man's face instantly dimmed: "Lord, I am Yelü Tianying! Don't you remember me?"
"You were the one who changed my name for me."
"My name used to be Yelü Jiba!"
"Lord, do you remember Ba-ba?"
Fang Er: ???
What the hell, he's taking advantage of me!
"Bang!"
He immediately kicked the fellow flying.
He did remember who this person was. He had been beaten by Ming Zhuzi back then for this very name.
Damn it, just say you're Yelü Tianying, why bring up Ba-ba!
Damn it!
Yelü Jiba…
Oh, no, Yelü Tianying, who was kicked thirty feet away, was utterly bewildered!
Years ago, he was beaten after introducing himself, and he still didn't understand why. This time, he was beaten again…
What a terrible name his unfilial father had given him!
He decided that from now on, he would never mention that name in front of the lord…
Just then, another person was drawn by Da Jiao's cries.
Seeing Fang Er, he immediately knelt and saluted.
"Xigua Bu Tian greets the lord!"
Fang Er nodded in satisfaction. This one was sensible, reporting his name first, saving him the embarrassment.
"Get up. I haven't been back for a long time. How are things in the Tianying tribe?"
Xigua Bu Tian nodded repeatedly, "Thanks to you, Lord, everything is well!"
"My father also returned last year. He led the brothers all the way to the ice mountains. That land now belongs to our Great Tang."
"Early this year, His Majesty even bestowed calligraphy upon the Tianying tribe and granted my father the official position of Minister of War."
Upon hearing this, Fang Er couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy. The Heavenly Gang Eight Tribes were all scattered by him years ago.
At that time, he had thought of letting the Great Tang completely rule this world. Looking back now, it seemed unnecessary.
When the Great Tang's strength surpassed that of other small countries, it would naturally gain the right to speak in this world.
However, he still casually threw a bottle of Red Bull: "Well done, this is for you."
Xigua Bu Tian looked at the small yellow bottle, tears almost streaming down his face.
"Thank you for your gift, Lord!"
Then, with a fawning expression, he pointed at Yelü Tianying and asked, "Lord, what happened to little Jiba?"
"Pfft!"
Fang Er, who had just opened a bottle of Red Bull and taken a sip, heard this and immediately spat it out.
Little Jiba…
Damn it, why didn't he think of adding a character to this guy's name back then? He had gone to so much trouble to change it to Tianying!
"He's fine, I just kicked him."
He then pointed at Da Jiao and said, "Come and help me hold it down. Those two things of his have ruined countless ewes. Today, I will eliminate this source of evil by cutting them off!"
Xigua Bu Tian: ???
What the hell!
Didn't you want to keep it as a stud ram?
Despite his confusion, he didn't dare to stop him like Yelü Tianying. He could only reluctantly pin Da Jiao to the ground.
Yelü Tianying finally recovered and, seeing this scene, immediately panicked. He looked at the knife in Fang Er's hand getting closer to Da Jiao and cried out,
"Lord! Lord!"
"How about… how about you just delete me instead…"
"Don't delete Da Jiao! It has worked hard for us all these years. If it has no merit, it certainly has effort!"
"Go to the pastoral areas and see, all the sheep running around there are Da Jiao's descendants!"
"It is old now, and this is not the ending it deserves!"
Seeing the fellow crying his heart out, Fang Er's previous intention vanished instantly.
He put the knife back into his storage and, with a speechless expression, kicked Da Jiao.
"You damn sheep, today, for little Jiba's sake, I'll spare you!"
He transmitted this sentence directly into Da Jiao's mind via divine sense. Hearing this sudden voice, Da Jiao instantly jolted and stared at Fang Er incredulously.
"Holy crap! Has this two-legged monster gained sentience?"
