"You... what do you want to do?"

Being gently held by Yang Yan, Zhou Hanyu's heart inexplicably started racing.

Although she knew Yang Yan wouldn't do anything to her, at this moment, her heart was pounding, and she couldn't speak properly.

"First, go somewhere to get some stuff, and once we have it, we'll go to the Dog Fighting Arena."

After speaking, Yang Yan held Zhou Hanyu and immediately disappeared from the spot.

A minute later, inside the Imperial Capital City Wildlife Park, two figures were sneaking forward in the lion's den.

"Hey! I'm asking what exactly do you want to do? This is a wildlife park, full of lions and tigers. Don't get eaten as a snack later."

Zhou Hanyu kept holding Yang Yan's hand. Although she was a bit scared, she couldn't help but make a joke.

It's quite admirable that this young girl still has the mind to joke around in the dark, without any lights, in a wildlife park.

Yang Yan pouted and said:

"To fight dogs, I have to have something to fight with, right? You just said it yourself, not to mention there's nowhere to find dogs, even if I did, they wouldn't stand a chance against those battle-hardened guys. So, I can only cheat a little."

As soon as he said this, he didn't need to look to know that Zhou Hanyu glanced at him again.

After all the similar glances from Zhou Hanyu, he got used to it and just pretended not to know.

As the two went further, strange noises faintly started coming from the once quiet surroundings.

When Zhou Hanyun looked in the direction of the sound, she suddenly screamed and clung to Yang Yan.

She saw a pair of glowing green eyes shining there.

"Shh! Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Yang Yan gently patted her, comforting her.

"That's, that's..."

Zhou Hanyu was so scared she couldn't even speak clearly.

"Yes! It's a lion, but it seems to be a female lion. I'm looking for a male lion tonight, so I won't provoke it."

After speaking, he took Zhou Hanyu and continued walking further inside.

Just as they turned around, that lion suddenly rushed towards them and fiercely lunged at Zhou Hanyu.

Just as it was about to pounce on Zhou Hanyu, Yang Yan turned around and gave it a cold look.

The lion abruptly stopped, rolled over a few times before standing still, then tucked its tail and ran away.

Zhou Hanyu had her head buried in Yang Yan's chest and was unaware of what had just happened.

Seeing Yang Yan turn his head, she instinctively turned to look, only to see the lion running away with its tail between its legs like a dog.

"Did something just happen?"

Zhou Hanyu looked at Yang Yan perplexedly and asked.

"Nothing, it was just a little kitty that wanted to come over and befriend us but got scared away by me."

Yang Yan said calmly.

Hearing Yang Yan's words, combined with the lion she just saw running away, Zhou Hanyu immediately understood what had happened.

She looked at Yang Yan with a trembling voice and said:

"Whatever you want to do, can you hurry up? I'm really scared."

"Don't worry, it'll be fine, I've got everything under control."

Yang Yan gently held Zhou Hanyu, then continued walking forward.

A few minutes later, Yang Yan suddenly stopped, gently uttering three words:

"Found it."

Zhou Hanyu froze for a moment, then nervously followed Yang Yan's gaze into the distance, only to see a gigantic male lion lying there.

Just as Zhou Hanyu saw it, the big guy stood up immediately.

"Easy there, big kitty, you better not resist, or you'll get hurt,"

Yang Yan said with a smile, setting Zhou Hanyu down before walking toward the prepared male lion.

Seeing Yang Yan daring to provoke it, the lion roared and lunged fiercely at Yang Yan.

Since he needed to grab it alive, Yang Yan didn't use full force.

His eyes suddenly turned a moonlit silver, coldly glaring at the charging lion.

Immediately, the lion, mid-lunge, abruptly hit the brakes, swerved hard, and made a beautiful drift to avoid Yang Yan.

Upon landing, due to inertia, it rolled on the ground a bit, then meekly lay down, exposing its belly.

Seeing this, Yang Yan instantly smiled.

This was a sign of the lion's submission.

He retracted his aura, walked straight to the lion, patted its head, and said with a smile:

"In this state, none of those guys would dare fight me. So, sorry, but you'll have to pretend to be a dog for a while."

In a dilapidated factory on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.

During the day, it's a lumber processing plant, but at night it becomes a Dog Fighting Arena.

As the capital city during the Qing Dynasty, the Imperial Capital's late-stage nobility had a fondness for dog fighting and falconry, and this pastime, passed down for over a century, hasn't declined. Instead, it has resurged with the booming economy.

Dog fighting, in particular, is flourishing.

In ancient times, limited transportation meant there weren't many dog breeds for fighting.

Now, with improved transportation, dog breeds have diversified through various crossbreeding.

Among them, the Pitbull is the most famous.

The bald man is named Wang Quan; his ancestors were Qing Dynasty aristocrats, holding the rank of third-class official.

That noble had a special fondness for dog fighting, earning the nickname Dog King, and this hobby has been passed down to Wang Quan's generation.

However, unlike his ancestors, Wang Quan runs dog fighting as a business.

And he does it well.

In just over ten years, he's turned this Dog Fighting Arena into a booming success.

This industry alone rakes in tens of millions in annual revenue for him, making him the boss of dog fighting in the Imperial Capital.

"Wang, what kind of show are you bringing us tonight? It's been a while since you've surprised us."

At the bar outside, a man shouted at the bald man.

"You little brat, are you trying to flaunt your Cyan Wolf again? You say you want a surprise, but you just want your Cyan Wolf to have a fight, right?" the bald man chuckled and cursed at the man.

"Hey! Wang, you're misunderstanding me. Does my Cyan Wolf need flaunting? In this arena, besides your champion, nobody scares my Cyan Wolf. If anyone dares, just let them try."

The man said loudly, looking rather smug.

"Haha! You little punk, your Cyan Wolf might be decent, but it's not enough to challenge the whole arena! You're still green!"

At this moment, a cold, mocking voice came from an elder appearing to be in his sixties.

"Master Si, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing the elder, the bald man quickly ran up and greeted him respectfully.
