Big Tiger
Yun’er tightened her hold on Yang Tian’s hand out of fear. There was no hope for either of them if the golden battle gorilla attacked.
“Lass, you’re…” remarked the surprised ape, pointing at Yun’er. Noticing their vigilant expressions, he grumbled, “You’re a lucky one, Kid…”
Yun’er went red in the face and released Yang Tian’s hand. She felt the ape didn’t harbour ill will toward them. Meanwhile, the ape speculated Yang Tian was Eastern Continent’s Yang Tian, so he asked, “Kid, you’re Yang Tian, aren’t you?”
“Yes.” Yang Tian reasoned the ape wouldn’t be interested in his items if the ape wasn’t interested in Yun’er’s divine body.
The ape was impressed with Yang Tian’s potential and accomplishments.
“… Elder, when will Dao Deity Mountain open?”
“Soon, I believe. I don’t know the exact time, but it’s at the intersection between City of Chaos and Western Continent. What? Are you interested in going?”
“Yes, I wish to expand my horizons.”
“You two are too weak at the moment, though. Dao Deity Mountain will be dangerous even at your level.”
Yang Tian didn’t expect his cultivation to be put down. Getting over his surprise, he questioned, “Elder, do you mean you have been there?”
The ape shook his head. “Anyone whose cultivation surpasses Almighty Realm is prohibited from entering. You and her… Well, it would be a good training opportunity for you two, nonetheless. Almighty Realm adepts would struggle to see through your transformation technique, but some secret techniques aren’t an exception. I doubt they’d make things difficult for those inferior to them, as well. By the way, let me see Xiaoqing, hehe.”
Yang Tian summoned a golden pupa to his hand. The ape leaned in for a look. The last time the ape saw Xiaoqing, the latter’s cultivation was still in its infant stages. Consequently, he asked, “His internal injuries have completely healed, and he’s evolved already. How did you do it?”
“Hehe, I fed him plenty of precious herbs and divine liquid, thereby helping him transform relatively faster.”
“You’ve expended commendable efforts.”
“Haha, it only cost some divine liquid.” Yang Tian quickly stored Xiaoqing away in case other creatures spotted him.
“… You best ascend to Battle Emperor Realm for your own sake if you want to go to Dao Deity Mountain.”
“Thank you for your pointers, Elder.” Yang Tian offered up a palm-fist salute.
“I’ll be on my way then. I’ll be waiting for you to reach my level, so train hard.”
The tiger raced over upon hearing the ape was going to leave. The ape pulled his eyebrows together as it made no sense for the tiger to approach him when others bowed their heads in fear. Yang Tian and Yun’er exchanged eye contact, bemused as to why the stupid tiger came over.
With a desire to escape his life of suffering, the tiger leapt at the rare opportunity. “Elder, I would like to serve you.”
The ape rolled his eyes. He just needed to say the word to have demons on par with Almighty Realm at his beck and call. It was his first time meeting a weak creature asking to serve him. Nevertheless, upon closer inspection, he exclaimed, “You carry a trace of white tigers’ Bloodline.”
Yang Tian gasped. He didn’t know the stupid tiger possessed the Bloodline of a Divine Beast focused on attack since the tiger’s appearances didn’t even hint it.
“What? I possess the Bloodline of a white tiger?!”
“Yes, but it’s faint and hard to develop,” answered the ape, figuratively splashing cold water on the tiger.
The tiger groaned out of disappointment but was excited, nonetheless. Tears coursing down his eyes, the tiger pleaded, “Please take me in, exalted elder.”
Yang Tian found the tiger’s pleas repulsive; it was the best bootlicker he’d come across. Yun’er couldn’t resist a chuckle.
The ape simpered. “If you’re going to serve someone, serve him. The golden-winged great peng king’s heir serves him, and he’ll be my sworn brother in the future.”
The ape departed, leaving the tiger with a stupefied expression. With no reason to refuse, the tiger prostrated himself before Yang Tian: “Esteemed Senior, please take me in. I can do anything.”
With two Divine Beasts as part of his entourage, Yang Tian looked down on the white tiger’s Bloodline. “You’re too ugly. Go somewhere else.”
The tiger was irate and upset due to the treatment received. Howbeit, he then realised Yang Tian must’ve been amazing for him to reject. Hence, he clung to Yang Tian. Yun’er found it hilarious. Thanks to his quick wits, the tiger recognised an opportunity. “You must be my noble and beautiful mistress.”
Yun’er blushed. Yang Tian’s mouth twitched; he gave the tiger a beat down. The tiger, bruised, cried, “Stop. I can transform… I can kill Battle Kings.”
