"Tendaros, pour some tea for the guest."
The Mini Person called out after he had settled into his seat.
"Awoo!"
A howl echoed from the other room.
Soon enough, Tendaros came running out with a cup of tea in its mouth.
"Awoo!"
It placed the teacup on the coffee table, then fixed its unwavering gaze on Liu Zheng.
"Thank you."
Liu Zheng picked up the cup with an impassive expression and downed the liquid in one gulp. Whether it was saliva or tea, he didn't care to find out.
Almost immediately, a wave of weakness surged through his body.
Liu Zheng felt his breathing tighten and coughed a few times, only to hack up several chunks of decayed, decrepit tissue. It was unclear whether they were from his lungs or his stomach.
"Awoo!"
Tendaros let out an excited howl, clearly pleased with its prank.
"Tendaros, you can't treat guests like this."
The Mini Person frowned as he reproached it.
"Whine..."
The chastised hound whimpered dejectedly.
