Chapter 129 Arrival at Tiger's Village
"How is it tattered? This is art, style, don't you understand...?"
"Tiger, you're back..."
"Brother Tiger..."
"Brother Tiger..."
"Yes, have the brothers prepare some good food and wine..."
As soon as Tiger returned to the village, he felt much more confident. After all, this was his territory, so he became arrogant and haughty. When the villagers saw Tiger return, they all came out to greet their chief.
"Hurry up and settle your affairs, then we'll leave..." Ye Jiuchen couldn't stay a moment longer; he simply couldn't stand the environment and atmosphere here.
"Sir, let's have a meal first, so I can explain some things. It's not good to leave right away..." Tiger said hesitantly.
"Hurry up..." Ye Jiuchen said, then returned to the carriage and ignored everyone else.
"He's a germaphobe..." Dongfang Wan'er explained to Hu Zi...
Tiger: Your OCD is so severe...
Night fell quickly, and everyone sat around the campfire to enjoy dinner.
"Come, come, don't be shy." Tiger warmly greeted Dongfang Wan'er and the others, trying to ease the atmosphere.
However, Ye Jiuchen maintained a cold and aloof demeanor, clearly disgusted by the place, finding it utterly awful. He wouldn't have gotten off the carriage at all if Dongfang Wan'er hadn't invited him.
"Girl, what's wrong with your husband?" Tiger asked curiously.
“Never mind him, he’s a germaphobe…” Dongfang Wan’er replied helplessly.
At this moment, Dongfang Wan'er looked at the sumptuous dinner on the table and couldn't help but think that Hu Zi was quite generous.
"Everyone, let me say something first..." Tiger stood up, attracting everyone's attention.
"Brothers, from now on I'm going to follow these benefactors out into the world, and the stronghold will be under the second-in-command's control from now on!" Tiger's voice rang out from the crowd, carrying a hint of pride and determination.
"Brother Tiger?" someone asked in confusion.
"Brother Tiger, why?" Many people were puzzled and asked one after another.
"Brother Tiger, don't leave us!" Some people even started to cry, their reluctance to part with him evident.
"Quiet, quiet, what's all this noise about!" Tiger shouted. "I'm going out to make my way in the world. What future can I have if I stay in this village all my life? Besides, I'm going out to earn money for the brothers! Don't you all want to get rich?"
Tiger's words gradually quieted the noisy crowd. Everyone knew that life in the village, though peaceful, offered little room for advancement. The outside world, however, was full of opportunities and challenges; if they could seize the opportunity, they might truly change their destiny.
At this moment, the second-in-command stepped forward: "Brother Tiger, go ahead with peace of mind. I will take good care of the village and wait for you to come back!" His voice was firm and powerful, which made people feel at ease.
Others also expressed their support: "Brother Tiger, we're waiting for you to come back!"
"Take care, Tiger!"
"Brother Tiger, may you rest in peace!"
Their words revealed their trust in and blessings for Tiger.
Hearing these words, Tiger felt a surge of emotion. He knew that every brother here truly cared for him. So, he nodded vigorously and turned to walk towards those distinguished guests.
Watching everything unfold before her, Dongfang Wan'er couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. She murmured, "It sounds like Hu Zi is already dead..."
"Hahahaha, I'm in a good mood today, let's drink and eat..." Tiger picked up a bottle and started drinking...
"By the way, young lady, why is that big tiger still sleeping... Is it dead...?" Tiger really wanted to see what the white tiger looked like when it was awake...
"I let it sleep. What, you want to see it?"
"think…"
"Alright, let's go..."
Dongfang Wan'er went straight to the cage where the white tiger was kept, and a silver needle flew over...
"Hoo...ho..."
A short while later, the white tiger woke up and found itself locked up. It kept roaring and scratching at the cage with its claws...
"Wow, that's really impressive! This tiger isn't tamed yet, is it..." Tiger's eyes gleamed as he looked at the white tiger...
"No, do you want it?" Dongfang Wan'er asked...
"I think…"
"Alright, give it a try. If you successfully tame it, you can have the white tiger..."
Dongfang Wan'er looked into the darkness...
“Madam, you went through so much trouble to catch this white tiger. Wouldn’t it be a waste to just give it away to the cub like this? Besides, this white tiger is extremely ferocious and very difficult to tame. What if it hurts the cub?” An Ye said worriedly.
"Don't worry, although this white tiger is fierce, it can be tamed with enough patience and skill. Besides, Tiger is a brave person, he should be able to handle it," Dongfang Wan'er said with a smile.
“But, Madam…” An Ye was still somewhat uneasy.
"Alright, that's enough. I've made up my mind. If Tiger can really tame this white tiger, then it means he has the ability and luck to possess it. We must believe in him," Dongfang Wan'er interrupted An Ye.
Dark Night nodded helplessly in agreement. Then he turned and walked to the white tiger, preparing to open the cage. The white tiger, seeing someone approaching, immediately became alert and let out a low growl.
"Do you think he can be tamed..." Dongfang Wan'er said with a smile.
“No…” Ye Jiuchen shook his head and replied.
"That's settled then..." Dongfang Wan'er glanced at Hu Zi triumphantly, thinking: Let you be so arrogant!
However, Tiger felt somewhat embarrassed and helpless at this moment. He thought to himself: Is it really okay for you to discuss these things in front of me? However, he did not show it and instead gritted his teeth and continued to insist.
"Hmph, although I can't beat your man, I can definitely tame this tiger..." Tiger said loudly, trying to save face.
Ye Jiuchen looked at Hu Zi with a half-smile, inwardly shaking his head; this guy didn't seem to be very bright. However, he still nodded, indicating his agreement to Hu Zi trying to tame the white tiger.
“Okay, go ahead and tame it…” Ye Jiuchen said.
Upon hearing Ye Jiuchen's words, An Ye immediately opened the cage and quickly retreated to the side to avoid being attacked by the white tiger.
"Roar..." After gaining its freedom, the white tiger became extremely agitated upon seeing so many people surrounding it. It let out a low roar, as if warning everyone not to approach.
"Roar, roar, roar..." The white tiger saw that there was still someone in front of it who hadn't left, so it opened its mouth and bit down hard on the tiger cub.
Seeing this, Hu Zi quickly dodged. He nimbly leaped up and landed on the white tiger's back, grabbing its fur tightly. At the same time, he used his other hand to strike the white tiger's body repeatedly, trying to subdue it.
"Roar...roar..." The white tiger roared repeatedly as it was beaten by the tiger cub, but it still refused to give in and kept struggling to break free from the tiger cub's restraints.
