After Returning from the Beast Taming Sect

[The novel is complete. I still edit it from time to time to fix typos. Thank you all for your support.] [My next novel is about slippery critters. It starts April 3, mwah~] Because of her experiences in the cultivation world, Lu Ning's ability to communicate with animals didn't disappear when she returned to the modern world. She'd only wanted to live a quiet life, but her golden finger showed her how hard life was for stray animals in the city, so she had to consider doing something about it. Rong City built an animal city covering 20 hectares, where all the city's stray animals would be brought. According to Rong City's latest pet regulations, dogs without licenses, dogs walked off leash, and dogs whose owners don't clean up after them will all be treated as strays. Owners must pay a fine and provide proof of the dog's identity before they can reclaim their pet from the animal city. Anyone caught abandoning a pet will be fined and prohibited from adopting any animals for five years. If a pet injures someone, the owner is fully responsible, and the pet will be sent back to the animal city. Eating or selling cat and dog meat is prohibited. Anyone who sees it can call the hotline to report it. Our city will deal strictly with businesses that knowingly break the law. Rong City Forum: "The animal city just came out of nowhere, and people walking their dogs on the streets have become so much more considerate. The authorities really nailed it this time." "Exactly! I can't stand people who don't leash their dogs. The owners always say their dogs don't bite. It drives me crazy." "They've built a dedicated place, so there aren't any strays in the city anymore. That means people can't use the slogan of protecting the city as an excuse to hurt animals." "Maybe dog lovers and dog haters can finally get along now. Stop fighting over everything all day." "And have you noticed that lots of cats and dogs listed as missing on the animal city's official website are reunited with their owners in less than two days? How do they know these pets got lost rather than abandoned?" "To the person above, I suspect the animal city has someone who can understand animal language." "Hahaha, have you been reading too many fantasy novels?" "Off topic. We're talking about this policy now. Did you notice that Rong City has started banning pet shops and breeding facilities from selling cats, dogs, and other animals? From now on, if you want a pet, you'll have to go to the animal city or a shelter." "Sounds good. Adopt, don't shop." "+1, that'll mean fewer sickly kittens and puppies. Some people are really wicked, doing anything for money." "I heard you'll need a license to keep a pet in the future. Tsk, tsk, I guess slackers like me aren't qualified." "Raising the bar for pet ownership. The current regulations don't mention it yet, though. I guess it'll take a few years." Lu Ning: "Make sure you train those new pet cats and dogs properly. You'll get paid if you do a good job." "Woof~" (If we've got money, can we eat whatever we want?) "Woof~" (They're so dumb. What if we can't teach them?) "Woof~" (If they don't listen, can we beat them?) The strays in the animal city are all competing for instructor positions. They have everything they need and don't want to be adopted, but life needs a little fun. If there are requirements for keeping pets, wouldn't that mean there'd be no more abandonment or abuse? Reader's Guide: 1. Regarding spaying and neutering cats and dogs, this novel describes an ideal approach involving physical separation and health checks before deciding whether to spay or neuter. It is not a practical guide. New pet owners, please consult your veterinarian promptly if you have questions. 2. The animals in this novel have the intelligence of eight- or nine-year-old children. They can communicate with the female lead, but they won't wonder why she understands them. Animals don't think that far. 3. There is some crime-solving in this novel, but not much. The early part focuses on rescuing strays, with strays taking on a bigger role later. 4. The female lead is 16. The romance probably won't happen until the final few chapters, as the story mainly focuses on the plot. 5. I've never owned a cat, but I have owned a dog. Please go easy on me if there are any mistakes. *salutes* Theme: Humans and animals living in harmony
