The guy was a god after all, and Jiang Yiqing couldn't actually take him on. He frowned, thinking to himself, 'Where the hell is my useless ancestor? Isn't he taking way too long to show up?'

As that thought passed, he started to raise his hand, reaching into his coat for the trinket the old man had given him—but the next second, his wrist suddenly felt warm, and the beam of light from the Mountain God just vanished.

It wasn't just Mingquan who was surprised—Jiang Yiqing was also stunned. He looked down at the black-goldwood bracelet on his wrist. He had no idea this thing was that powerful.

The bracelet Wen Xiuyan had given him... maybe it wasn't just any ordinary piece of black-goldwood.

Mingquan frowned and gave Jiang Yiqing a second look. With a treasure like that, this punk clearly wasn't as simple as he looked.

For a moment, Mingquan hesitated. Should he strike again? But if he didn't, it'd make him look like a paper tiger.

Even though Jiang Yiqing was surprised, he kept a calm face and looked straight at Mingquan. "You're just gonna attack like that? Did it ever occur to you who my ancestor might be?"

Mingquan stared at Jiang Yiqing, trying to figure out if he was bluffing.

Just then, a voice rang in his ear. Mingquan frowned and instinctively glanced at Jiang Yiqing—he really hadn't expected this brat to have someone powerful backing him. No wonder he'd dared to provoke him earlier.

Fine, whatever. Just a kid. Mingquan didn't feel like dragging this out.

He stroked his beard and casually switched gears, saying, "Alright then. This Mountain God shall turn the kid back, no big deal."

Jiang Yiqing raised a brow. That switch-up was fast. Looked like his ancestor had spoken.

He'd only been testing the waters, but now it seemed like his ancestor still carried some real weight.

Right after Mingquan spoke, Min Can suddenly felt a rush of heat through his body. His vision blurred, and when he blinked again, he realized he was seeing from way higher up. He looked down—his furry dog arms were gone, replaced by human ones. He jumped up, totally pumped. "I really turned back!"

The Min family went wild with excitement. They all rushed over, crowding around and chattering nonstop, checking on Min Can.

"Oh my god, you really turned back? You scared me half to death—I thought you'd be stuck as a dog forever!"

"Good, good! You're back! Maybe now you've finally learned your lesson, huh?"

"Gotta give a huge thanks to Master Jiang. Without him, you'd still be barking."

"You really turned back? Say something human, just to be sure."

Min Can gave Min Yao a look. "I really turned back!"

Min Yao nodded. "Alright then, cool."

Min Can: "..."

"Oh right! What about Dabai?" Madam Min suddenly remembered the family's beloved little dog and rushed to check on him.

Thankfully, Dabai had also changed back. He was once again that smiley little angel, looking as bright and cheerful as ever.

Madam Min breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Jiang Yiqing glanced at the excited Min family, raised an eyebrow, and looked away. He was a bit surprised himself—he had no idea what exactly his ancestor had said, but Mingquan sure gave in quickly.

Mingquan caught Jiang Yiqing's look and ground his teeth. Damn kid. Lucky little brat!

That's what he thought, but on the outside he kept a mysterious expression and looked at Min Can with a deep sigh. "This child only saw his own suffering, but didn't realize that whether human or dog, life isn't easy. I hope this experience stays with you—don't take things for granted ever again."

The Min family was instantly moved by what Mingquan said—especially Min Can, who suddenly felt like everything made sense now. So that's what this was all about? Mingquan Mountain God was just trying to teach him a lesson the hard way!

And honestly? Fair enough. After a few days of being a dog, he realized it wasn't all that great.

The food was bland at best, he couldn't go out unless someone took him on a walk, and worst of all—he couldn't play on his phone!

Yeah... being human was definitely better.

After delivering his moral, Mingquan glanced at Jiang Yiqing, who still looked completely unimpressed. Mingquan snorted silently, then vanished from sight. He hadn't actually left, though. Since he was already here, he figured he might as well check in on the believers who still worshipped him.

The Min family assumed he'd gone and all collectively exhaled.

Min Yongzhi sighed emotionally, "So that was what the Mountain God meant all along..."

He'd been complaining about Mingquan in his head earlier. Thank god he didn't say anything out loud.

Madam Min nodded and gave her son a sharp look. "You hear that? Still think being a dog is fun?"

Min Can shook his head like crazy.

But Min Yao had been watching Jiang Yiqing this whole time and noticed his expression had been off since the beginning. "Master Jiang?"

Jiang Yiqing let out a light snort. "You just believe whatever he says?"

The Min family: "?"

Shouldn't they?

Jiang Yiqing shook his head. "He was just messing with you. Nice speech, though."

The Min family exchanged uncertain glances. Was Master Jiang implying that Mingquan Mountain God had been... playing with them?

Jiang Yiqing wasn't entirely sure, but he doubted Mingquan would've returned anyone to normal so easily if it hadn't been for his ancestor stepping in. No way it would've gone that smoothly.

Honestly, the guy had some nerve—twisting the whole situation into some moral lesson to cover for himself.

Tch, maybe all those followers were tricked into believing in him in the first place.

Jiang Yiqing's eyes gleamed with mischief. He muttered some exaggerated praise about his ancestor, making sure to highlight that the reason Min Can got turned back was entirely thanks to the great and mighty founder of his bloodline.

When the Min family heard that, they remembered how stubborn Mingquan had been at first. Back then, they'd actually been really anxious, afraid he wouldn't help. And then suddenly, out of nowhere, he had a complete change of heart and even gave them a little speech.

They'd been uneasy about it, but none of them were bold enough to question a god. All they could do was act like they had some great realization and pretend they totally bought it.

Now, after listening to Jiang Yiqing, it all clicked. That's why Mingquan suddenly backed off!

The Min family exchanged meaningful looks. They didn't say anything out loud, but the respect they'd once had for Mingquan was gone.

The god they revered was supposed to protect the people—not use his followers as playthings for his own amusement.
