Liu Yifeng smiled and said, "I didn't train them much, they're just the two dogs I raised that can understand human speech!"
"They can understand any words?" the man asked, half-believing.
Although dogs are considered very intelligent animals, they are still animals after all. How could they truly understand human speech!
Take his Golden Retriever, for example. Among dog breeds, Golden Retrievers are known for their high intelligence.
He had raised it since it was a puppy for over three years.
At best, it could only understand a few simple commands. Sometimes, when it got temperamental, it wouldn't listen to anything and would often make a mess of the house.
As for the village dog, it was even wilder, which was why he was curious about how obedient these two dogs were.
Seeing his disbelief, Liu Yifeng decided to show him with facts: "Da Hei, go throw that bottle in the trash can."
Da Hei, who had been lying on the ground, immediately stood up, walked over to the bottle, picked it up with its mouth, and dropped it into the trash can.
Then, Liu Yifeng gave Da Bai another command: "Da Bai, bark five times. Don't bark too loudly; you might scare the other dogs."
Da Bai then barked five times in front of everyone, not too loud, just enough to be heard.
Witnessing this, everyone's eyes widened.
It was one thing for the dogs to understand human speech, but they could even count and knew how many five barks were. They were too intelligent!
The man gave Liu Yifeng a thumbs-up: "Amazing. Your two dogs are too smart. They can understand human speech. Is it because you trained them often?"
"Actually, dogs learning things is like people learning things. It depends on their talent. Otherwise, no matter how much you teach them, they won't learn.
I haven't taught these two dogs much. They are inherently intelligent."
Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with envy.
Although village dogs weren't as attractive as pet dogs, who wouldn't like such intelligent dogs!
Thus, many people put down their own dogs and started playing with Da Hei and Da Bai, losing their initial disdain.
Da Hei and Da Bai cooperated and didn't act aggressively towards them.
Suddenly, Da Hei and Da Bai became the center of attention.
The woman from earlier saw this and rolled her eyes disdainfully.
What was the use of a smart dog if it couldn't speak?
Unlike her dog, which was always the focus whenever they went out, looking so cool.
After about half an hour, it was finally Da Hei and Da Bai's turn for a bath.
Liu Yifeng was afraid Da Hei might regret it if there were no female dogs for it to play with, so he had the staff take Da Hei for a bath first.
However, during the bath, Da Hei was uncooperative. It was too strong, and the staff couldn't control it.
They had no choice but to come out of the bathing room and seek Liu Yifeng's help.
Liu Yifeng handed Da Bai over to Tong Tong to look after, then followed the staff into the bathroom.
"Be a good dog, Da Hei. Finish your bath, and I'll take you to play with a female dog!"
His words were like a magical elixir. Indeed, Da Hei became much more docile and allowed the staff to wash it.
"Wow, this is amazing. Dogs are looking for partners these days. Da Hei, I promise to wash you thoroughly so you can find a mate." The staff member laughed.
Da Hei wagged its tongue happily upon hearing this, but Liu Yifeng felt a headache coming on. Da Hei wasn't easily fooled!
If he didn't find it a female dog this time, he probably wouldn't be able to trick it next time.
But where would he find a female dog for it? He had noticed earlier that most people's pets were male.
Although the pet store had female dogs, they were for sale, so how could they let them play with Da Hei!
He didn't want to raise a female dog himself; the responsibilities of raising a female dog were too overwhelming, and he didn't have the energy for it!
As Liu Yifeng was agonizing over this, the cooperative Da Hei had finished its bath, its fur shiny black after being dried.
Before the bath, its fur didn't look dirty, but after the bath, the color of its fur was noticeably different.
The pet store really did a thorough job. No wonder so many people liked to have their dogs bathed outside.
"Mr. Liu, Da Hei is done. We've also sprayed it with flea repellent. Would you like to style its fur?"
"No, thank you!" Liu Yifeng quickly refused. Da Hei looked best like this, appearing spirited and imposing!
Da Hei emerged from the bathing room, waiting for Liu Yifeng to find it a female dog.
Liu Yifeng looked at its expectant gaze and quickly made an excuse: "Da Hei, wait here for a moment. I'll bathe Da Bai. After we're done, I'll find you a female dog to play with."
However, while he was bathing Da Bai, Tong Tong rushed in frantically: "Dad, something bad has happened."
Seeing Tong Tong so flustered, Liu Yifeng thought something had happened to him and quickly checked him all over: "What is it? Are you not feeling well?"
Tong Tong shook his head repeatedly: "It's not me, it's Da Hei!"
"What happened to Da Hei? Did it run away?" Liu Yifeng feared Da Hei might be angry at him for not introducing it to a female dog and had run off.
Tong Tong shook his head again: "N-no, it's just that it..."
He suddenly couldn't finish his sentence, which drove Liu Yifeng crazy.
"What is it? What happened to Da Hei?"
"Dad, you should go out and see for yourself!" Tong Tong's little face flushed slightly.
Liu Yifeng quickly went outside. As soon as he reached the doorway, he heard a woman cursing, "Whose dog is this, bullying my Guo Guo!"
Then he heard the staff's soothing voice: "Please don't worry, we'll find the dog's owner right away."
"Then hurry up! How dare it bully my dog like this, I'm not done with them." The woman's voice was filled with anger.
Liu Yifeng walked out of the bathroom and saw a woman dressed fashionably throwing a tantrum at the staff.
Then, he witnessed a rather embarrassing scene.
At this moment, a staff member rushed to his side, flustered: "Mr. Liu, your dog..."
He couldn't quite finish the sentence.
"You'd better go and see for yourself. The female customer is demanding an explanation from you!"
Liu Yifeng walked over and looked at Da Hei on the ground. He felt too ashamed to face anyone.
He truly hadn't expected Da Hei to be so desperate. It had only been away from him for a short while, and it had already done something like this.
"Are you the owner of this black dog?" the woman asked Liu Yifeng, who was standing next to the staff member, with a dark expression.
Liu Yifeng nodded awkwardly: "Yes, I am!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get your dog away from my Guo Guo!" the woman roared.
"Da Hei, what are you doing? Come here, quickly!" Liu Yifeng said to Da Hei.
