Zi Ming had a headache reminiscing about yesterday's events. He wasn't able to sleep at all. His sister had chased him relentlessly and beat him up until a bit of the anger she felt was relieved.

To attest to that, he had bruises all over his face, panda eyes, and cut on the lower lip. It was a funny sight.

He walked his tired, zombified body to the backyard and started a workout despite the pain.

It wasn't long before the small wolf passed by. The little guy never slept much and was always looking for fun. Today he had probably woken up before everyone once more. When he saw his master training, he decided to stay and watch.

The cold didn't seem to bother the little canine. He sat under a tree surrounded by snow and observed in silence.

"Heilang, want to join me?"

Zi Ming asked the black pup. He thought a long time about it and finally chose to call him Zi Heilang. It was a simple and fitting name for the animal. The little guy also seemed to like it.

"Wu?"

The pup wasn't too sure what his master meant. Wild animals generally were smarter than dogs and cats, but they still had problems comprehending human language from the get-go. Zi Ming knew that beasts could cultivate and become smarter, his father told him that pets in the cities could understand human language.

The wolf seemed to be born not too long ago, plus he had only lived here for a few days so it couldn't be helped.

Zi Ming looked at Heilang and thought. So far, he knew he had extreme speed despite his low cultivation level. The wolf was only at body refinement level two, which was quite impressive for a newborn, but still relatively weak. He wanted to test the extent of the wolf's abilities and see if he had more tricks in his bag. Sparring with it would be a perfect way to find out.

The wolf didn't seem to understand Zi Ming's request, so the latter went to grab a spear. As soon as Zi Ming pointed it at him, Heilang stood up and wagged his tail excitedly.

"I guess you understand this, huh? Haha..." Zi Ming laughed and got fight ready. "Here I come little guy!"

The wolf barked and moved like a ghost behind him.

The two of them battled for several minutes before they stopped. At the end of the exchange, Zi Ming had an overall idea of the wolf's strength. At the moment, besides good senses and extreme agility, Heilang couldn't pose a threat to him. The animal had the strength of body refinement level two, but the speed of level five.

Zi Ming had different expectations but he was also relieved. He suspected the animal had some secret healing power. He wasn't sure how but he knew his sudden recovery had something to do with him. The first time he met the animal, he licked his wounds.

"Maybe..." Zi Ming wanted to try something crazy. He didn't have anything to lose in any case.

Zi Ming cut his finger with his spear. He put his bloody finger in front of the pup and waited.

The wolf sniffed for several seconds and then licked.

"Maybe it was just my imagination..." Zi Ming shook his head and sighed. He looked at the small cut for a moment but nothing happened.

However, all of a sudden, the cut started to close itself. In less than ten seconds, the finger seemed to be as good as new.

"What the hell?" Zi Ming was completely shocked. "Heilang, can you do that again?"

Zi Ming tried the experiment once more and wasn't disappointed. He also let the animal lick his face but besides the cut on his lip, the bruises didn't seem to disappear.

"Maybe it only works with small cuts?" Zi Ming thought, but then he quickly dismissed this theory. When he was in the forest he had extremely severe wounds and bruises, but he was somehow healed back in top form.

"It seems as if this little guy likes blood...let me think, let me..." An absurd idea struck Zi Ming's mind. 

"I hope, I'm not thinking this wrong, otherwise I can bid farewell to this lady-killer face..."

Zi Ming dangerously placed the spear on his face and cut. The crimson liquid flowed out from his cheek. The pain wasn't extreme but it was doubled at the location of the bruise.

"Wuwu..." The little guy was starting to worry.

"Sorry Heilang, I won't be so rash next time." Zi Ming approached and said.

The cut was bigger than the previous wounds. Heilang hurried to lick as he also realized that he could heal Zi Ming. In the span of half a minute, the wound closed and the bruise also disappeared.

"Hmm...As I thought." Zi Ming touched his cheek and said. He glanced at the pup and asked.

"Heilang, do you like blood perhaps?"
