In the valley where Mr and Mrs Shiping had committed suicide, a group of people and two dogs had arrived.
It has long been empty and deserted, a picture of serenity. The Mountain Rats that had their nest here had long since left to who-knows-where.
"Master, why can't we just slaughter these pair of Earthly Hounds and be done with it so we can return home?" asked one of the people in the group.
Bai Shixin shook his head in answer, "We can't slaughter them, they're part of a future plan of mine. This will be a difficult task for you lot; these two demon dogs, they descended in their physical bodies like the fools they were and lost a lot of power. But to you bunch of locally-bred Greater Rat Demons, they're incredibly nutritious and will improve your Cultivation Base greatly, which will allow you lot to help me out even more. Since that's the case, pick one to eat first. After you're done, return immediately as I still have things to do."
