My Fierce Tigress Wife Chapter 81 - A Scholar among Tigers

Chapter 81: A Scholar among Tigers

A hint of gladness surfaced in Di Baijun’s eyes. She said, “He’s here for the sake of the tigers.”

Wang Hu was mildly alard. Even he himself wondered whether he had misheard her or if what she ant wasn’t the sa as what he thought.

“For the sake of the tigers?”

“That’s right. He personally told that he had co precisely for the sake of the tigers.

“He thinks that it’s only when the tigers are united that we can survive in today’s world. Thus, he has co.” Di Baijun sounded fairly happy. This was because she also knew very well that there was no concept of unity and community among mortal tigers that had developed human intelligence.

Now that one saw strengthening the tiger species as their own responsibility like him had suddenly erged, she was naturally elated.

Wang Hu, on the other hand, frowned. Anything abnormal made him suspicious, and that tiger’s behavior was obviously abnormal.

He had also t that tiger quite a few tis. After all, he was the one that had imparted the cultivation technique to that tiger, as well as the one that had grood that tiger into what he was today.

Wang Hu really hadn’t expected that he would go beyond developing human intelligence to even awaken his bloodline after he had broken through to the Transformation Realm. On top of that, he was even showing such a high level of maturity and vision.

To be honest, Wang Hu actually didn’t want to be suspicious of anything, but it was necessary for him to do so until he could be sure.

“Are you sure, Baijun? No matter what, this behavior is not normal,” said Wang Hu cautiously as a reminder.

Di Baijun raised an eyebrow and said, “Different things can take place during one’s bloodline awakening, including inheriting wisdom and history related to one’s species even. It’s not hard to understand that a situation like this can also occur.”

Then, she paused montarily before she added with an overflowing sense of might and arrogance, “Besides, regardless of whether he’s normal or not, what can he do?”

The sight made Wang Hu smile. That was indeed true. No matter what kind of motives that tiger harbored—with Wang Hu and Silly Girl around, there was no way he could create any real trouble.

However, he naturally still needed to be suspicious of things that he ought to be suspicious of. Such matters could just be left to him, however. Silly Girl needn’t overly concern herself with it.

He didn’t say much about other things after that. After a couple of seconds of silence, the atmosphere suddenly turned a little awkward.

A sowhat awkward look flashed across Di Baijun’s countenance. She looked away and said coldly and haughtily, “If there’s nothing else, then I’m going off to cultivate.”

Wang Hu nodded and replied, “Alright, go ahead.”

Slightly taken aback, a hint of discomfort welled up in Di Baijun. She glanced at the jerk, let out an icy snort, and walked off.

Wang Hu didn’t mind her behavior. He was going to rest a little first.

He hadn’t had a good sleep at all during these recent two months outside, let alone when there were even so many things to take care of. Even with his current level of abilities, he still felt ntally fatigued.

After the short adrenaline rush from returning ho, he had lost even most urge to tease Silly Girl. He would think about it again after he had a good sleep.

Deep and slow breathing could be heard coming from him a short while later.

Nearby, sothing suddenly hit Di Baijun who had been watching him out of the corner of her eye: that jerk was tired!

Her mild discomfort slowly faded away. It was only after she watched him for a while more with a frown that she was able to start focusing on cultivating.

By this point, Wang Shan had already returned to his own ho to rest a long ti ago.

Big Treasure and Little Treasure continued to sleep.

There was also soone else who had been watching Wang Hu for a long while, only to realize that it seed like the demon lord hadn’t taken any notice of her at all. She couldn’t help but be sowhat disappointed and secretly dissatisfied.

The demon lord was too much. He didn’t even take a single look at her after his return.

How un-tiger[1] of him. All he knew was exploiting her.

Hmph!

…

It was already evening by the ti Wang Hu woke up. All his fatigue had been swept clean, and a sense of vigor and power—as though he had seemingly endless strength—welled up in him, making him wish he could let out a long, heroic roar.

His emotions and his mind beca active once more.

He walked out of his resting area and spotted the tool-fox right away.

He secretly nodded to himself. Not bad, her shoulder height had increased by nearly 30 centiters since the last ti he saw her about two months ago. She had improved very quickly.

As his family’s fox-servant, it was very likely that she would rise up to beco their real housekeeper in the future. Thus, it was necessary that she had a fast improvent rate.

Otherwise, should he and Silly Girl pull ahead of her too much, leading to her becoming unable to catch up to them; she would be eliminated sooner or later.

However, it seed like the cowardly tool-fox did indeed possess a great talent for now so he didn’t need to worry about that.

He thought for a mont. Now that he had been away for nearly two months, it was ti that he went to the cowardly fox for information.

Without looking at her again or paying her any attention, he walked toward Silly Girl who was in the midst of cultivating.

His cultivation had been delayed for nearly two months. Although he had also taken so ti out to cultivate during this period, it was naturally nothing compared to Silly Girl who had stayed at ho the whole ti.

Thus, Silly Girl had already fully caught up to him in terms of size and was more or less the sa size—a shoulder height of 9.3 ters and a body length of 16.3 ters—as he was now.

However, Wang Hu was no longer feeling the sense of urgency he had in the very beginning with regard to this.

This was because he was confident in his own special abilities, as well as in his current relationship with Silly Girl.

Silly Girl likely wouldn’t try to kill him anymore.

On the contrary, he was looking forward to Silly Girl attaining the Divine Body Realm and transforming into the Dao form more—in other words, the form more or less similar to a human’s appearance.

How beautiful must she be!

A great sense of excitent and anticipation ca over him whenever he thought about this. He hoped that the day would co as soon as possible.

“Baijun, you’ve really beco even prettier than before!”

Wang Hu readily paid Silly Girl a complint without any hesitation or embarrassnt whatsoever. There was no sign of him being out of practice with it just because he hadn’t been able to say such things during the last couple of months or so.

Di Baijun paused in her cultivation and glared at him.

It was only in the depths of her heart that she heaved a barely-discernible sigh of relief. The jerk was still the sa old jerk. He hadn’t changed.

As expected, he had just been tired in the morning.

What followed was the usual ‘sweet and heartwarming’ spicing up of their daily lives.

…

The next day, after Su Ling and Wang Shan successively returned from hunting, Wang Hu gathered them once more. He also officially t the abnormal tiger again.

The abnormal tiger stood at a shoulder height of approximately 4.1 ters, which matched very well what one should look like shortly after their breakthrough.

The first impression he gave Wang Hu during their eting this ti was one of sternness.

To think Wang Hu would actually find a tiger stern. This was clearly not normal.

Yet, the feeling was indeed one of sternness. His whole deanor, including the way he stood and every movent of his, exuded the word ‘sternness’.

It affected even Old Third and Su Ling who were standing beside him, causing them to involuntarily beco rather inhibited.

Wang Hu offhandedly told Su Ling and Old Third to go to the side and continue with their education and lessons, and then his serene and imposing gaze focused on the tiger in front of him.

At once, the air around them seed to turn into a quagmire little by little. The pressure in the air beca heavier and heavier as though there really was a mountain weighing down further and further on them.

There was no change in the tiger’s expression. He remained as stern as ever and exuded a sense of solemnity and propriety. He quietly resisted the mighty pressure and showed neither fear nor worry as he looked straight into Wang Hu’s eyes.

A dozen or so seconds later, a hint of admiration and approval surfaced in Wang Hu. There weren’t many among the Transformation Realm that could face his mighty deanor in such a calm and composed manner, let alone one that had only just broken through to the Transformation Realm.

His temperant and will were not to be underestimated.

However, at the sa ti, this also reflected how abnormal this particular tiger was even more strongly.

After a mont’s thought, Wang Hu slowly retracted his montum and spoke calmly with a slight hint of approval in his voice.

Roar~!

“Not bad. You’re the first person that can look straight in the eye even when they’ve only just broken through to the Transformation Realm.”

The tiger’s expression didn’t change. It slowly lowered its head as a show of respect and replied in a calm and dispassionate voice as though he was rely talking about sothing barely worth ntioning.

Roar~!

“Thank you for the complint, my lord.”

Wang Hu arched an eyebrow slightly. His eyes narrowed a little, and he spoke straightforwardly.

Roar~!

“You don’t lack cultivation thods. Tell , why have you co to this king to beco a subject instead?”

As though he had long been prepared for this, the tiger gave Wang Hu a calm and serious answer.

Roar~!

“My lord, I’m here, firstly, to repay your kindness of imparting the cultivation thod to and grooming .

“Secondly, it is for the sake of the whole tiger species, as well as for myself.”

Wang Hu kept quiet and watched him silently.

Aware of what it ant, the tiger continued to speak.

Roar~!

“There’s naturally no need to explain much about the first reason. I am imnsely grateful to my lord. Without my lord, I may not necessarily be what I am today. Even if I were to be, who knows how long that would take?

“As for the second reason, the Chinese have also approached on the tenth day after my breakthrough. Through them, I have gained an understanding of the world.

“The situation in today’s world is becoming more and more complicated. If we, the tigers—as well as I myself, wish to survive better; then we must discard our old habits and unite with one another. As of now, my lord is the only one that can get the tigers to do this and is already in the process of doing so.

“Due to these various reasons, of course, I have to make my way here.”

He continued to look at Wang Hu calmly after he spoke.

Wang Hu stayed silent. He rely watched the other tiger quietly as his mind worked at a high speed.

This abnormal tiger was really giving Wang Hu the feeling that he was a scholar among tigers.

Compared to him, Old Third was a country bumpkin that couldn’t be any more of a country bumpkin.

However, the impression Wang Hu had ford of tigers over ti honestly made him feel rather awkward when he faced the tiger.

Was this guy really a tiger?

Moreover, one that had even just broken through and developed human intelligence?

Were bloodline legacies really that miraculous?

Alard and doubtful, his sense of distrust remained as strong as ever.

After a few seconds of silence, Wang Hu spoke coldly and distantly.

Roar~!

“Do you know that the feeling you’re giving is not like that of a normal tiger? A lot of things about you make feel awkward, and I have grown instinctively distrustful of you.”

His incredibly blunt and direct words caused the tiger to break into a light frown. The tiger was rather puzzled, and yet he also sowhat understood the reason why. Then, he spoke calmly and unhurriedly.

Roar~!
