What the Hell Are You Barking About?!

[Consistently Unhinged Is Its Own Kind of Stability · Husky Bottom × Husband-Doting Top Who's Been Worn Out by the Abuse]

Bai Mo, a 996 office drone who worked himself to the bone, tragically died from overwork during yet another late-night shift.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had transmigrated to an interstellar age with incredibly advanced technology, and he had turned into an adorable... husky!

Turning from a human into a dog, Bai Mo's reaction was: ecstatic.jpg

Bai Mo: Hahaha, I'm done being human!

He had no idea who his owner was, but the guy was filthy rich. He lived in a huge, futuristic mansion spanning three hundred square meters, bought Bai Mo all the toys he wanted, and stocked an entire meat fridge with raw meat for him.

New to the place, Bai Mo tucked his tail in timidly and looked pitiful: Arf, arf! [Big brother, is this your home~?]

Once they got familiar with each other, Bai Mo went: Rrruff! [Is this↗ your home↘?]

Bai Mo had a pretty cushy life, and his coat was sleek and glossy from being so well cared for.

Whenever he was hungry, he acted all sweet and begged for food. Whenever he did something wrong, he would blink his big, round, grape-like eyes, looking as if to say, "What bad thing could a little puppy possibly do?"

When he was full, he barked freely and raced around like an alien, expertly switching between two different personas to torment his owner.

Of course, this wasn't him repaying kindness with ingratitude. He had noticed that his owner seemed to have some kind of mental illness. When it flared up, the man seemed even more unhinged than Bai Mo, repeatedly hurting himself until he was exhausted and covered in blood.

The little puppy was terrified, so to repay his owner's kindness, he racked his brains every day to cause trouble!

Bai Mo firmly believed that if he wore his owner out by making him laugh, he wouldn't have the energy to hurt himself!

The little puppy had done a great deed!

When his owner wasn't home, he strutted around inspecting his territory and had a grand time playing with the high-tech gadgets of the interstellar age.

Bai Mo: Oh, causing trouble is hard work for a little puppy. What's wrong with watching abstract human livestreams from the interstellar age?

Not only did he watch, he even used his owner's money to send gifts.

After spending his owner's money, he started livestreaming himself to earn it back. What a hardworking good husky!

In today's society, almost everyone kept a pet to relieve stress and prevent mental energy from running wild.

Major General Xi Chen, who possessed SSS-grade mental energy, had suffered for years from losing control of it. A friend called in a favor and sent him a supposedly rare species from ancient Earth.

The mythical beast was black and white all over, with deep blue eyes and an imposing air. It seemed to have been revered as a national treasure by a mysterious ancient country.

An animal-language translator came with it, too.

However, Xi Chen soon realized that his mythical beast wasn't quite like other people's. It was exceptionally expressive and incredibly talkative.

The expensive translator chattered away all day long.

When the puppy was hungry, it said, "Daddy, baby hungry, want food~"

When Xi Chen wanted to cuddle the puppy to relieve some stress after a meal, the translator blared, "Get away from me!"

When the puppy caused trouble and Xi Chen started rolling up his sleeves, the translator urgently beeped: "What a flowerpot this flowerpot is! It has such a beautiful sense of brokenness. What kind of artist could have created such a masterpiece?"

Xi Chen: "...?"

Never mind. It was a national treasure, after all. He could let it off.

Then he silently cleaned up the broken flowerpot.

Xi Chen's stress kept mounting, but at least he no longer had the energy to hurt himself.

His friend smugly took credit, then came closer in surprise and asked, "Huh, why do you have dark circles?"

Xi Chen: "..."

You tell me.

-

Then one day, Xi Chen got off work early and heard a noise coming from the attic.

His first thought was that there was a burglar. He quietly approached the door the sound was coming from, only to discover that his own mythical beast was livestreaming and chatting away.

Bai Mo had even become one of the platform's top streamers, earning tens of millions of star coins in tips every day and becoming the undisputed richest dog in the world...

His fans eagerly chatted in the comments: [Momo, can you tell that story again? The one about how you won over our aloof, invincible Major General Xi!]

[New fan here, watching for the first time, and I'm curious too! It's hard to imagine what kind of cuteness could charm Major General Xi!]

Bai Mo disdainfully wrinkled his little nose and slapped the translator. "Act cute? I don't do that."

"Whenever he gets home, I bark at him and tell him to go to the kitchen and fry me a couple of dishes."

"Hah, does he dare complain? I might jump on his bed in the middle of the night and crash into him hard enough to break a bone."

"Huh? He doesn't hit me, so he's a good daddy."

Xi Chen could take no more. He pushed the door open with a dark look on his face.

Bai Mo's dog face froze. In a flash, he stood at attention and wagged his little tail frantically.

The translator babbled nonstop: "Daddy! You're home! Baby missed you so much!"

The whole internet fell silent. The richest dog in the world had fallen from grace.

-

That night, Xi Chen sternly demanded an explanation. "Momo, what kind of national treasure are you?"

Bai Mo looked confused and let out a quiet whine. "Huh? I'm not a panda..."

Xi Chen: "...Then what are you?"

The puppy whimpered guiltily. "A-a husky..."

Xi Chen: "?"
