The Little Dog Demon Doesn't Love His Lord God Anymore

Xiao Tian transmigrated as a little dog demon and found himself alone in a strange world, struggling to survive with no one to rely on.

He rummaged through trash cans and gnawed on rotten bones. At last, he rescued a dying little boy in the freezing snow, and from then on, they depended on each other.

The little boy was determined to split open a mountain to save his mother, so Xiao Tian went through life-and-death trials with him, nearly losing his life several times.

The loyal little dog demon stayed by Yang Jian's side as he grew from skin and bones into a peerlessly handsome man, and from having nothing to commanding the Three Realms.

On the day Yang Jian was deified as the True Lord of Clear Source and Wondrous Way, the little dog demon also became the Divine Dog Who Howls at Heaven, gained an extraordinary blessing, and took human form.

At last, he had the chance to confess the feelings he had suppressed for years.

Xiao Tian was so nervous his voice trembled. With his limited vocabulary, he confessed to the one he loved: "My lord, I... I like you."

But what he got in return was...

He was locked in a cramped dog cage, forced to watch Yang Jian drink and chat merrily with the Nine Heavens Goddess.

"You're nothing but a dog."

"We're as far apart as the clouds and the mud. Put away those delusions you shouldn't have."

The little dog demon accepted his place and, in pain, dug out his own sincere heart and buried it in the Valley of Fallen Gods.

Life in Heaven was peaceful. There was plenty to eat and warm clothes to wear, and everyone in the Ninth Heaven liked the good-natured little dog demon.

Chang'e's Jade Rabbit invited him to the Moon Palace to sample osmanthus wine. Laozi's Azure Ox invited him to the Tusita Palace for a game of chess. The Victorious Fighting Buddha, who lived in the Water Curtain Cave on Flower-Fruit Mountain, even came in person with all his disciples to ask for the little dog's hand in marriage.

Yang Jian crushed the jar of jealousy in his hand and rushed over to fight the monkey until heaven and earth were plunged into darkness.

At last, the little dog demon stood in front of the Great Sage and, eyes red, demanded to know why he was being so unreasonable.

Yang Jian snatched the little dog demon back to Guanjiangkou. This was his turf, and even the gods and Buddhas of the Nine Heavens could only wait obediently outside.

The once aloof and arrogant Lord Erlang lowered his proud head and kissed the little dog demon's paw. His voice was humble as he pleaded, "Tian Tian, I was wrong. Give me one more chance. This time, let me be the one who loves you, okay?"

The little dog demon was terrified. Memories of the past came flooding back, and he didn't dare overstep. Trembling, he begged softly, "Second Master, we're as far apart as the clouds and the mud..."

An optimistic, broad-minded, sincere-hearted dog demon bottom who knows when to hold on and when to let go X a powerful, beautiful, tragic seme early on, an arrogant and lofty one in the middle, and a jealous, gulping-and-guzzling husband later, desperate for his darling to look his way again.
