The Mystic Nine: Dog Fifth Master and Aunt Huo

I’m Wu Laogou, fifth among the Nine Gates. People call me “Fifth Master Dog,” but I know I’m just a dog breeder.

Over a hundred people from Unit 401 vanished without a trace, and Zhang Qishan summoned the Nine Gates to a meeting. I didn’t want to go. I wanted no part of the Nine Gates’ murky business.

But some debts can’t be avoided.

So I got up, cursing under my breath, and pushed open the door I’d never wanted to open. The Otherworldly Tower, western Hunan… The deeper I went, the harder it was to get out.

I spent my whole life trying to stay out of it all. In the end, though, my life in Changsha was tethered to someone else’s hands, just like those dogs.

At least… she was one of those people.

The dog yard was still there, life went on, and so did she.

This time, I have no regrets.
