Chapter 223: Impressive Looks

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

To her, her elder sister had already said that they weren’t willing to go. Since she wasn’t really willing to go either, then they should hurry up and leave as soon as possible.

She couldn’t help but simply feel especially repressed, staying here and facing that big tiger. It felt as if she could hardly breathe.

This made her instinctively feel like leaving the area as soon as possible.

Therefore, she had spoken up for so reason.

Miao Ming’er let out a soft sigh inwardly. She also wanted to go ho, but the two of them wouldn’t have a ho anymore in the future.

As she thought about it, a hint of sadness and even stronger disappointnt flashed across her tranquil and exquisite visage.

She didn’t wish to say anything more either. Instead, she lowered her head slightly and waited for the Tiger King to inform them of their fate.

As for saying things like ‘I’ve saved your life before as well, so can you let us off this once?’, she naturally understood very well that that was sothing she absolutely mustn’t say.

She knew how alluring her special ability was very well.

This was sothing she couldn’t ntion to outsiders right from the start, let alone to the Tiger King who had already let her down.

At this point, Wang Hu’s heart suddenly pounded forcefully. An indescribable feeling ca over him.

The ntion of going ho and the sadness and disappointnt that had flashed across her face in front of him…

Suddenly, they gave rise to another thought in his mind.

A thought that made him sowhat hesitant.

Was it really a good decision for him to bring them back to the Tiger King’s Cave?

A short span of two seconds later, he made up his mind.

He said dispassionately, “Never mind. Since you’re not willing, then I won’t force you.”

As though a surprise that had co out of nowhere, his voice stunned Miao Ming’er. She lifted her head and looked over.

It was still the sa tall and stalwart form that gave others imnse pressure. Golden light continued to cover his visage as always.

Miao Ming’er was sowhat filled with disbelief. Were her ears deceiving her?

The Tiger King… His Majesty is saying that he’s not going to force us!

Was I mistaken about everything and ended up wronging His Majesty?!

The surprise ca so suddenly that Miao Ming’er couldn’t quite believe it for a mont there.

She gazed at Wang Hu, her clear and gentle, elegant and tranquil eyes glimring as though they could talk.

There was a sense of anticipation and surprise in them.

Wang Hu also smiled sowhat inwardly. He said naturally, “The Tiger King’s Cave has never forced anyone to join it. You don’t need to be so worried.

“However, you can co to the Tiger King’s Cave anyti if you change your mind.”

Miao Ming’er smiled. Bright and dazzling, the smile ca from the bottom of her heart.

As she gazed at the person in front of her, her eyes seed to shine with a different light.

An unusual look also flashed across Wang Hu’s eyes, and he awkwardly avoided her gaze for a mont.

Her smile… was very beautiful.

“Thank you, Your Majesty,” a smiling Miao Ming’er said. The intangible sense of intimacy imdiately returned. On top of that, it had even beco a lot stronger.

Wang Hu’s tone didn’t change. As aloof and forceful as ever, he said, “You’ve already reached peak-level Second Realm. Since fate has brought you and together, then I shall give you a hand once more.

“Should you et with danger in the future, you may use my na to protect yourself.”

He reached out his hand as he spoke. Roughly 25 kilograms’ worth of Spirit Stones appeared, and he sent them right in front of Miao Ming’er.

She was just about to decline them when Wang Hu shoved them into her hands forcefully, his deanor brooking no refusal.

After that, he turned around and went into the distance as though he had teleported, leaving behind only his voice.

“I hope you won’t let down.”

Before he even finished his sentence, he had already disappeared from sight…

As Miao Ming’er and Qing Qing only stared blankly in his direction.

It was only after she stared for several seconds that Miao Ming’er finally looked away and shifted her gaze to the Spirit Stones in her hands. Her eyes seed to contain both surprise and joy, as well as a feeling as though she was at a loss.

It was too fast. The surprise ca so quickly that she couldn’t even react in ti.

“Big Sister, that Tiger King doesn’t seem that awful after all. Not only did he give you a gift, but he even allowed us to use his na.”

Upon seeing that the big tiger had left and feeling the pressure weighing down on them had disappeared, a fairly surprised Qing Qing similarly couldn’t help but say such things now. She just heaved a huge sigh of relief.

Putting aside the gift for now, even she knew the many benefits of being able to use the Tiger King’s na for protection would bring very well.

This ant that they were now a whole lot safer than before.

The Tiger King’s na was the handiest one in this world.

Miao Ming’er snapped back to reality with a start and imdiately nodded. At the sa ti, the smile on her face also widened.

She was indescribably happy. As expected, he was indeed different from others.

I had wronged him. He didn’t take advantage of his position to bully us.

On top of that, he even helped again.

She sounded elated as she said, “He’s not a bad person from the start. Qing Qing, you mustn’t slander His Majesty the Tiger King anymore.”

As she spoke, she beca even happier. Suddenly, she realized sothing, and her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

It seems like His Majesty still doesn’t know what my na is.

Does he find it beneath him to ask?

True, what kind of existence is he, after all? Although it seems like he regards sowhat highly, I’m probably not qualified enough to have him take the initiative to ask for my na.

So, the Third Realm?

Her gaze landed on the Spirit Stones in her hands again.

A hint of determination flashed across her beautiful and flawless countenance.

Elsewhere, Wang Hu—who was flying back to the Tiger King’s Cave—was thinking about what he had done just now.

It had taken only a few monts for him to change his mind and decide against bringing that little cat back to the Tiger King’s Cave.

There were quite a few reasons behind why he had changed his mind.

One of them was that his hands had misbehaved. Another was that the other party wasn’t willing. Apart from these, there were also other reasons such as forcing things never worked, and so on.

As for what he had done just now, as long as the other party knew that they should repay kindnesses that soone else showed them, barring any accidents; her impression of him would definitely improve greatly.

One could consider them the Tiger King’s Cave’s non-staff personnel now. With his parting words, he now had an excuse to visit them in the future. With enough ti, the relationship between the two of them would naturally improve further and further.

Over ti, he might be able to get her to willingly join the Tiger King’s Cave with her own initiative.

It was for the best that people with talent like hers join the Tiger King’s Cave willingly.

Shortly after he ntally made plans for all these, he sighed softly and openly. To think he had actually relented…!

That’s right, he admitted to it. While the above-ntioned reasons had certainly contributed to him making the decision, the final push that had sealed the deal in the end… was that he had relented.

He had relented because of his fondness for that little cat.

As expected, beautiful things were always so alluring.

How good one looked truly affected a lot of things.

Wang Hu was honest enough to admit it.

Everything began with one’s looks, stayed true to the process, and concluded with one’s looks.

That little cat was really very adorable.

This might not be the biggest reason why he had made that decision, but it was no doubt the most fundantal reason.

The mont he thought of that little cat, he felt the urge to stroke her fur.

His hand itched.

His hand balled up and loosened awkwardly. Suddenly, he thought of that beautiful figure again and shuddered fiercely.

At once, he dispelled the thought.

She was soone that could transform into the Dao form. He mustn’t harbor such thoughts ever again.

Otherwise, how inappropriate would that be?

Even if Silly Girl didn’t know about it, he still mustn’t let her down, should he? He was a good tiger that took care of his family.

I mustn’t harbor such thoughts anymore.

Absolutely not.

Wang Hu secretly told himself firmly.

So things just weren’t appropriate.

For example, the little cat. She was already capable of transforming into the Dao form. It would be highly inappropriate to stroke her fur anymore.

Wang Hu was indeed aware of that.

It seed like he had forgotten to ask her for her na, though. Surely, she couldn’t possibly still be naless, right?

If so, he could give her one. It was just as well that it could deepen the relationship between them, too.

He would just try thinking of one for now and ask her again the next ti he saw her.

He secretly made plans while he flew.

Before long, he returned to the Tiger King’s Cave.

Without alerting his subordinates, he entered the Tiger King’s Cave’s grand hall straight away and walked into the room.

“I’m back, Baijun.”

Upon entering the room, he imdiately saw Silly Girl in the midst of cultivating. She didn’t seem to react even when she noticed that he was back.

Wang Hu wasn’t bothered at all. His smile widened, and he took a few steps forward and ca to the bed.

He sat behind Silly Girl, reached out, placed his hands on her delicate shoulders, and started to gently knead them without much professional technique.

His actions had a vague sense of… eager attentiveness to them.

Di Baijun was a little unused to it. She thought:?It seems like the rascal has beco even clingier after his return.

Yes, that’s right, he’s being clingy.

Di Baijun, who had already stopped cultivating with her full attention by now, secretly muttered to herself. She went with the flow and stopped cultivating altogether. Then, she turned, glanced at Wang Hu, and said a little disdainfully, “What are you doing?”

Wang Hu blinked. Then, as though all was right and justified, he smiled and replied, “I’m giving my kind, beautiful, gentle, and virtuous wife a massage on her shoulders.”

The corner of Di Baijun’s eye twitched. She almost smiled but suppressed it in embarrassnt in the end. She turned away, lifted her exquisite little chin, and said haughtily, “Behave yourself. I don’t need that at all.”

Wang Hu let out a scoff of laughter inwardly. He thought:?Take so actual action and reject it physically if you don’t need it. What’s the point in just saying it?

Also, you silly little thing. Do you think you can hide that smile that you’re suppressing from ?

On the surface, however, his smile beca even more doting. He kneaded her shoulders with all he got while saying with a straight face, “I’ve been out at work during the last few days. Not only does my wonderful wife have to take care of matters at ho, but she even has to look after the kids, too. You must have been tired, so I definitely have to give you a massage.”

Di Baijun was already close to letting the faint smile show on her face, but she was still fighting it while facing away from Wang Hu. Her large, bright eyes had already curved into crescents.

She continued to raise her little chin proudly and kept quiet.

Wang Hu knew that Silly Girl was enjoying the treatnt very much, so he didn’t mind saying a little more, of course.

“Baijun, tell , why is Wang Hu so lucky? He’s got such a wonderful wife.

“She’s peerless, has unparalleled style, exceptionally clever, has a pure heart and spirit, stunningly beautiful…”

After hearing more than ten?proverbs1?in a row, Di Baijun couldn’t quite stand it anymore. Even though the rascal was speaking the truth, he shouldn’t straight-up say that much either.

She put up a token struggle with her shoulders while pretending to be aloof as she said, “Alright, that’s enough. Do I even need you to tell that?”

Wang Hu chuckled and pulled Silly Girl into his arms. He said seriously, “It’s wonderful to have you around, Baijun.”

Di Baijun, who didn’t resist him, rolled her eyes disdainfully at him.

It was only at this point that Wang Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief for so reason. That faint sense of guilt had dispersed.

He steeled his resolve.

That’s right, I shouldn’t feel guilty at all.

I haven’t done anything for to feel guilty about. That was just an unintentional mistake.

That little cat was just too adorable. I didn’t know beforehand that she could transform into the Dao form either.

I shouldn’t be blad for that.

Besides, Silly Girl doesn’t know about it either, and neither did that little cat co over. Why should I feel guilty?

What’s there for to feel guilty about?

I have nothing to hide, I have a clear conscience, and I have been utterly loyal and faithful.

I don’t need to feel guilty at all.

As he steeled his resolve, he tightened his hold around Silly Girl a little further.

Then, he started to talk about his gains this ti.

Without hiding anything, he told her everything that he had learned from Li Dao.

“The Tang Empire!” The look in Di Baijun’s eyes turned a little serious as though she had recalled sothing.

After hesitating for a mont, she said fairly seriously, “I heard that a Great Tang Empire that was exceptionally powerful had indeed existed a very, very long ti ago.

“However, I’m not inford about Li Shimin. He’s definitely no simple person, though.”

Wang Hu nodded with a look of agreent on his face. He said seriously, “If I’m not wrong, Li Dao is likely not the only one that first received legacies similar to this.

“Zhu Hongming and Liu Jixiu are also among them. It’s just that the process through which they had obtained the legacies was relatively more secretive and hadn’t caused as big a commotion as what had happened this ti.”

“Zhu Hongming, Liu Jixiu!” Di Baijun had also thought of those two n. She started to ponder over the matter.

“Yes, exactly those two,” said a fairly certain Wang Hu.

After a mont’s pause, his voice beca graver as he went on. He said, “The legacies that they had obtained are evidently very extraordinary. It’s likely only at this point that China finally started to officially step onto the express lane of becoming stronger.

“From now on, we must be even more on guard against them.”

The tigers might not have any intention to harm the humans, but the humans might be planning to harm the tigers.

This was also true the other way. Where benefits were involved, anything could happen. That was exactly how practical life was.

A contemplative Di Baijun nodded. She didn’t let her guard down.

“Did anything happen in the Tiger King’s Cave during the last few days?” Wang Hu changed the topic and started to talk about daily affairs instead.

…

While Wang Hu and his wife were conversing in the privacy of their ho, in the capital of China…

A cabinet eting was also officially being held.

Li Dao joined the eting and spoke about the whole incident.

All the elderly officials listened to him quietly. Then, they asked him a few questions very amicably, gave him a few words of encouragent, and allowed him to leave.

“Reality has shown that our deductions were correct. Our ancestor Li Shimin’s tomb was indeed looking for a successor.

“It’s the sa situation as what Little Zhu had described. It’s also likely more or less the sa as Little Liu’s situation.

“It’s just that the two of them had done it secretly, whereas Ancestor Li’s had caused a huge commotion.

“Additionally, these three tombs are also different from the other three that belonged to Wang Mingyang, Zhang Juzheng, etc.

“There are too many secrets involved here. We’ll need to investigate this.” Zhang Jianye glanced at Dong Pingtao and took the initiative to speak.

“These secrets are of grave importance. However, at present, it seems like we have too few clues, so I’m afraid investigation will be tough. What I’m more concerned about is whether there are more of such legacies or none?

“If there are, when will they appear? And how many will there be?” Chen Jianguo said seriously and hopefully.

A few of the elderly officials nodded in agreent.

That was indeed what mattered the most—or rather, actual combat power was what mattered the most.

The existence of these legacies ant that China would co to possess even stronger legacies.

“And one more thing. Now that we’ve reached this stage, should we reveal more information to the others?

“Even the Tiger King couldn’t hold himself back from coming forward this ti.

“Not to ntion the other alliances. The only reason why they haven’t openly interfered is that they aren’t strong enough.

“If this goes on for long, I’m afraid it’ll be detrintal to the big picture.

“No matter what, we still need the alliances for now.

“That goes without saying in the case of the Tiger King, too. We need an ally like him,” Li Aimin said seriously.

“I agree. I also think it’s ti that we reveal so information. We’ll ultimately still need to eliminate the people’s grievances as much as possible toward the end of the Unification into One Plan,” An elderly official nodded and echoed Li Aimin.

“I agree. I also think it’s about ti. If we continue to drag this on, not only will it be detrintal to the big picture, but it’ll also be even more detrintal to the Unification into One Plan that cos at the end.

“We can also start to think about the final stage of the Unification into One Plan at this point.”
