The Ten Promises With My Master Chapter 2

JAN 5th, 2020, Heavy snowfall

The sky has yet to clear from the morning mist, snowflakes fall all over the Emperor's Capital, the city is covered in the pure white snow, the glittering white snow bent the branches of the trees alongside the road. While the whole city is still in deep slumber, a stretched limousine with a government license sped through the road away from the city, like a black panther that spring through the forest silently. It drove away, leaving only two deep tracks in its path.

It wasn't quite as peaceful in the limousine.

I turn, I roll, I crawl!

I have ears on my head, ears!

I have a tail behind me, a tail!

Three fires1 on my face, three fires, I'm a pure breed!

n.o.body knows, No one! How many little secrets I keep! I keep!

I am a Husky, Husky, HUSKY!

I have little secrets, secrets, SECRETS!

I still have my little serge~ little serge, little SERGE!

SSSEEEERRRRGGGEEEE ——

"Aoooff — —"

"Curator, what's wrong with this dog? Rolling around, does it want to pee?"

A lively male voice came from above the box, sensing the vibration from the box, Ruan Xiang Yuan stopped his exciting rolling exercise and thought Ni Ta Ma then wants to pee. He raised his head, the pair of furry ears subconsciously lean back, he scan with his big pair of blue eyes, at the person who is talking, small flat head, basic face, the kind that would never rise in his career.

"Think it's the heat, this kind of polar sled dog is sensitive towards the heat. Put it down already, isn't it dirty?"

Beside this basic face sat a handsome guy with an elegant appearance, he is wearing a set of neat white uniform, ironed, leaving zero wrinkles, from the looks of it he has slight germaphobia and OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder). Near the collar of the man, lays some sort of animal fur, probably fox, which nearly hides half of his pale face, hmm… To be honest, he is beautiful alright, but is more or less like a sissy.

Though this sissy looks kind of good, but since he stated that Ruan Xiang Yuan is dirty, he decided to dislike him.

Dirty? Dirty where? Ruan Xiang Yuan lifted his paw and sniffed himself. He was satisfied to find that there is not one bit of dog smell but the dog's special shampoo in strawberry flavour. And thus, the prideful Ruan Xiang Yuan brand husky swing his claw and shakily crawl his way out of the box —— He felt a little hot, so he dropped his jaw and pant: HA HA HA. Tongue fully stretched, yet the saliva gracefully stayed and did not drip. Even with the heater on the car, you can still see the white mist coming out from between his small canines as he breathes…

They say a dog's temperature is higher than humans, looks like it's true. Ah right, by the way, the breeze outside looks cool, can I ask to turn off the heater?

The car is still moving fast, Ruan Xiang Yuan had abandoned his paper box, yawning peacefully on the knee of the basic looking young man. From the conversation between the two in the car, Ruan Xiang Yuan knows that the basic looking young man who is holding on to him like he is holding on to something precious, is named Shao Ze, a prison guard. And the sissy sitting beside him is named Eli, he's the Curator of the prison they are heading towards now—— Em, ya, not warden, Curator.

Because they are not heading to any ordinary prison, but a place name "Jue Chi Guan"… Alright, to be exact, it's still prison but just somewhere that is more high-cla.s.s than a five-star hotel, a six-star prison.

Yes, a high-cla.s.s prison. He had heard of what kind of place "Jue Chi Guan" is —— from an outsider's point of view, this prison seems to exist only in legend. Some say its heaven, and some, claim its h.e.l.l.

Our friend Ruan Xiang Yuan lived his life among the rabbles in his previous life. A few among them did things that tossed themselves into the police station, go through court sessions, sentenced and jailed —— Ruan Xiang Yuan knows, if he was alive now, for that stab that he gave Chen Lei, Chen Lei's dad won't let him get away——if he was still alive, those decades of imprisonment would still be waiting for him. 

However, now, even when he had been turned into such a figure, he is still being sent into Jue Chi Guan through some unknown fate.

Jue Chi Guan is isolated from the rest of the world, legend says that it is located in the depths of some unknown mountain where it snows all year round. There is only winter, no spring nor summer or autumn. The magnificent building that was built regardless of the cost, stands on this deserted place. The roof is dark blue in colour different from the monotonous white walls surrounding it, so gorgeous, like a birdcage made of golden wires, cold but depressing —— well, these are all just some of its legendary description.

In fact, only those who had actually seen it knows, what it is like —— even if one day someone does finish their sentence and get out of there alive, it is as if there was some sort of unspoken rule, none of them would say anything about that place.

No one knows who came up with the name Golden Cage, but legend says that the strict discipline would tear their wings of freedom with reality, and no one has a clue about what this so-called "strict discipline" could be. Nonetheless, without exception, anyone that enters this place will soon, due to certain encounter, drop their desire for freedom and obediently wait till their sentence is over.

Jue Chi Guan, just as the name implies, you can't fly even with wings.

n.o.body knows where it is, and no one knows which country it belongs to. It was rumoured that Jue Chi Guan holds people that have a high status in the social circle, whether it is their wealth fortune or the power they have in their hand. Normally, when these kind of people commit a felony and was sentenced to death penalty, there would be threats to the social stability, but if they were placed in the normal prisons then the intricating prison would most probably kill these people who had numerous enemies in the past —— and so, it was drafted and led by several countries to build this mysterious high-level prison.

Among Ruan Xiang Yuan's friends, those that commit crimes, never ended up in this prison, not one of them ——  even though their parents were willing to pay anything and even pulled strings, to give them the best environment possible, but up till now, none of them succeed in transferring the brats into Jue Chi Guan.

Ruan Xiang Yuan lay flat on his stomach within the embrace of ShaoZe's arm, from their conversation, he heard lots of unfamiliar name, foreign names, the long and tongue twisty kind. Mr puppy's brain remarked that it can't remember. Ha… Ha… Ha… The puppy gasped impatiently, he stood up with his hind legs, his thick white paw, which is of the size of a wrist, stretched out and buckle on the public face's s.h.i.+rt to stand straight so that his long mouth can reach ShaoZe's chin ——

His moisty warm breath smudged the prison guard in his public face. After the prison guard pat his b.u.t.t with a speechless face, threatening to drop him on the floor if he breathe into him again, the husky cub, grey fur with a deep black line running down his back, then whined twice before swaying his caterpillar-like tail and zipped his big dog mouth, satisfied.

At this very moment, Ruan Xiang Yuan still feels that it is only natural that he, is going to be a prison's guard dog ——

Little does he know; a normal intelligent human would never choose a Husky breed that only focuses on being undisciplined and un.o.bedient throughout their bloodline as a prison's guard dog.

And now, Ruan Xiang Yuan, who knows nothing but thinks he knows everything, twists his hairy head with drooping ears, admiring his new look with the rear-view mirror —— Hmm, strict, fearsome, they say your three-years old look reflects your future, from the look of this, he's a material for police dog (……).

Ruan Xiang Yuan flipped, he folded his four limbs and when ShaoZe reach to rub his tummy, he squeeze his blue eyes in comfort.

Ruan Xiang Yuan felt ironic.

He killed a man, and then he died.

Reincarnation, turning into a dog, and yet he can't seem to escape this prison disaster that felt as if it's destined.

What goes around comes around. How does the saying go again? There is always someone watching you from above.

……Alright, actually Lao Tian Ye2 is not that harsh after all, Ruan Xiang Yuan raised his hind leg and scratch his ears with his soft paws thinking, at least Mr Jade Emperor left me my serge.

"—— Curator, Did this dog just sigh?"

"Dog even knows how to fart. Can you tone down? Have you never seen a dog throughout your lifetime?"

ShaoZe scratched his head and nodded under Ruan Xiang Yuan's speechless gaze. He held the puppy's paw in his hand and squeezed it, he babbled honestly, "I used to have several Chinese pastoral dog in my hometown, to watch the door. Hee Hee.. they barked and barked at every outsider who visited us, it was so loud, also, to be honest, I actually like dogs. Look at this, they always look at you with these kinds of eyes, how can anyone stand it——"

Just shut up young man, Lao Zi even as a dog can tell that your curator doesn't want to listen to your old grandmother's story from don't know what year.

Also, who the f.u.c.k used "these kind of eyes" to look at you, stop imagining things.

"ShaoZe."

"Ah? Yes Curator?"

"This puppy just rolled his eyes at you."

Being thrown back into the box coldly, without the soft and warm human cus.h.i.+on, Ruan Xiang Yuan whined in loneliness and decided from today onwards, to start hating the sissy with good eyesight.

Three fires - Some think that only pure huskies have the white coloured fur on their face which is shaped like a downward arrow (in Chinese they call it "三把火" which is three fire) - the saying is not true.

Lao Tian Ye - heavens
