Chapter 221: So AdorableThe cyan-blue bird became even angrier. She said angrily, “You’re too much! Don’t think that we’re afraid of you. Today, we’ll show you how mighty we are!”

“Hmph. If you must blame someone, then blame the Northern Tiger King. It’s all his fault.

“I’ll give the two of you another chance. Leave this place. Otherwise, don’t blame us brothers for not showing you any mercy,” said one of the wolves. His voice, which carried killing intent, turned even colder than before.

“How shameless of you. If you’re that capable, then go and say that to the Northern Tiger King himself.” The cyan-blue bird mocked.

The two wolves didn’t reply. Instead, they started to bare their fangs menacingly.

“Are you really going to attack us?” The little cat’s voice also deepened a little, and she sounded a little displeased.

“We naturally won’t attack if the two of you are willing to leave,” replied one of the wolves cautiously.

“In that case, then let’s fight. If we lose, we will leave. However, if we win, then all of you are not to ever disturb us again,” said the little cat calmly.

“Big Sister!” The cyan-blue bird exclaimed in shock. Evidently, she wasn’t happy about what the cat had said.

Why should they leave if they lost, whereas the two stupid wolves didn’t need to pay any price if they lost?

The little cat gave the cyan-blue bird a look, upon which she could only go along with it.The two wolves naturally didn’t have any objections.

They exchanged a look. Then, without any warning, they charged toward the little cat from both sides with great rapport.

“Watch me as I teach you a lesson or two!” The cyan-blue bird glared at them and charged toward one of the wolves.

The wolf opened its jaws and pounced toward the cyan-blue bird.

The cyan-blue bird turned nimbly and dodged the attack. Then, she swiped ruthlessly at the wolf with her claws.

Her claws were small, yet they held astonishingly great strength and gouged out a small bloody hole in the wolf.

However, as the bloody hole was too small, it didn’t injure the wolf much—even though the wound hurt. The wolf turned around and bit at the bird.

The cyan-blue bird glared mockingly at the wolf. With a flap of her wings, she moved at a high speed and evaded the bite.

“Haha, you stupid wolf. To think you’re trying to attack me—Qing Qing. I shall teach you a good lesson today and show you that I’m not to be messed with,” the cyan-blue bird said smugly with a smile.

The wolf became even more ferocious.

Suddenly, a loud cry rang out, alarming the wolf and the cyan-blue bird.

They turned and looked over to see that the other wolf was already slumped onto the ground. Three long bloody gashes bled profusely on his body.He had been heavily injured in one attack, causing him to nearly lose all of his combat power.

The little cat stood quietly at a spot more than ten meters away as if it hadn’t done anything at all.

The sight caused the wolf to turn pale from shock. He hastily ran over. “Big Brother!”

The cyan-blue bird, on the other hand, was delighted. She flew over to the little cat and happily exclaimed, “Big Sister, you’re so impressive.”

Then, she glared at the two wolves. “That’s for bullying us sisters, stupid wolves.”

There was a rather fearful look in both wolves’ eyes as they watched the little cat.

With fear and reverence, the injured wolf said, “We concede defeat. We won’t ever bother the two of you ever again from now on.”

“Okay. I hope you’ll do as you promised,” said the little cat serenely.

Relieved, the two wolves hurriedly ran into the distance.

“Don’t leave just yet if you have the guts. Let’s go for another round.” The cyan-blue bird antagonized them indignantly.

Her words frightened the two wolves so badly that they ran off even more quickly, without paying any attention to their injuries. The cyan-blue bird laughed happily.

A few seconds later, she looked at the little cat somewhat glumly and said, “Big Sister, are we going to let them off just like that? They wanted to bully us, y’know.”Doting mirth surfaced in the little cat’s gentle eyes as she said, “Let them go, Qing Qing. They’ve already been punished and taught a lesson.”

“But I don’t think it’s enough yet,” Qing Qing, the cyan-blue bird, grumbled.

The little cat’s pretty eyes shifted slightly, and she said with a smile, “Think about it, Qing Qing. There are fewer and fewer forests and mountains that are suitable for Second Realm carnivorous animals to inhabit in the northern lands now.

“Even if we do anything to the two wolf brothers, there’ll definitely still be other Second Realm carnivorous animals that will come over and make trouble for us.

“Right now, we’ve already taught the wolf brothers a lesson. At the same time, they weren’t badly injured either.

“As long as they’re around, no other Second Realm carnivorous animals will come here anymore.”

Qing Qing’s eyes lit up brightly as she listened. She looked at her elder sister and spoke with a hint of idolization and great joy.

“You’re right, Big Sister. This way, those two stupid wolf brothers have even become somewhat like our watch-wolves, hehe.”

Miao Ming’er, the little cat, looked at Qing Qing—with her big eyes curved into slits—and nodded.

Suddenly, something seemed to occur to Qing Qing, and she stopped laughing. She said indignantly, “It’s all that wicked and ferocious Northern Tiger King’s fault. He’s too bossy.

“It’s because he’s hogging such vast territories that all the Second Realm carnivorous animals have been driven out by him. That’s why there are so few forests and mountains suitable for them to live in the north.

“Because of this, we can’t even have a quiet and peaceful home. He’s so detestable. Back then, Big Sister…”She paused and stopped talking. Big Sister was repaying his kindness that time, so she shouldn’t say anything about that.

She let out a couple of indignant light snorts. “In any case, that big tiger is just too detestable.”

A resigned Miao Ming’er, who initially didn’t want to say anything, replied for some reason, “For the sake of their own species, no one has it easy.”

“Why are you still defending him, Big Sister? Just a glance at him is enough for anyone to know that that big tiger isn’t a good tiger.” Qing Qing curled her lip and complained.

Miao Ming’er didn’t say anything.

Suddenly, a dispassionate voice that carried intangible pressure rang out.

“Have you seen him before?”

The moment he spoke, both Miao Ming’er and Qing Qing got a fright, and their hair stood on end from the shock. They turned and looked over.

At some point in time, a figure was already standing several meters away from them.

Although they couldn’t see what he looked like because his face seemed to be blocked by light…

His tall and upright form was as though a towering mountain.

He gave off an extremely forceful, mighty, and imposing aura that was as though great surging rivers that gushed unceasingly with momentum so strong that they were unstoppable.Under the pressure, Qing Qing—who had been overcome with shock—couldn’t even flap her wings anymore and fell onto the ground. Unable to speak, she could only stare at him, dumbfounded.

After receiving a shock, Miao Ming’er grew stunned.

She didn’t detect any scent, but that familiar feeling…!

It was…!

Wang Hu looked at the two frightened and stunned little animals. His gaze merely swept quickly across the cyan-blue bird before it focused fully on the little cat.

Beneath his calm and tranquil gaze, an awfully strong sense of fondness surged up within him.

What a cute little cat!

That little cat was really so…!

Even the corners of his lips had curled up somewhat. For some reason, he simply felt a great sense of intimacy toward the little cat and liked it very much. She was too adorable.

His hands felt rather empty, so he moved and immediately grabbed at her with his large hands.

This snapped Miao Ming’er back to reality right away, and she instinctively wanted to dodge.

However, together with a helpless ‘meow’, she immediately found herself in warm and robust arms.

A warmth that she had never felt before surged toward her from all directions.

Before she could even form any thoughts, she felt an arm supporting her lower body and a large, warm, and robust hand stroking her head and her back.

Instantly, her mind went blank.

I…

Acute bashful embarrassment surfaced in her clean and gentle eyes.

She struggled, wanting to jump out of his arms. However, the moment the large hand touched her again, she actually felt as if she couldn’t move and as if all the strength had left her body.

Her eyes became increasingly anxious and embarrassed, so much that it seemed like she was close to tears.

Yet, there was also a unique stubbornness in her as she gritted her teeth and kept quiet.

“W-who are you? Let go of my elder sister!”

Qing Qing regained her senses with a start at this point. Although she was rather scared, she was even more anxious and worried. She glared at Wang Hu fiercely.

The smile at Wang Hu’s lips widened. He continued to stroke the little cat, which felt extraordinarily comfortable. It felt even better than when he had stroked the two little fellows in the past.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the little bird that also seemed somewhat unique and said dispassionately, “Weren’t you talking about me just now? Why are you asking who I am now instead?”

Qing Qing didn’t quite understand what he was saying for a moment there. On the other hand, Miao Ming’er—who was terribly embarrassed and panicked—had already realized by now, of course.

It really was him.

She couldn’t help but become somewhat panicked. For the first time, she agreed with Qing Qing: this big tiger wasn’t a good tiger.

However, no matter how much she thought, she was too embarrassed to speak at the moment.

At once, Qing Qing realized what Wang Hu was saying. Her eyes widened even further, and her voice became a few octaves higher. It even trembled a little as she exclaimed, “You’re the Northern Tiger King!”

Wang Hu didn’t reply. Instead, he continued to stroke the little cat again and again.

“Are you really… the Northern Tiger King?” Qing Qing felt her throat going dry, and she even sounded rather scared as she spoke.

She felt awfully uneasy. Why was that big tiger here?

Surely, he didn’t hear me when I badmouthed him just now, right?

Surely, he won’t eat me, right?

Surely… surely not?

No matter what, I’ve helped Big Sister save his life before.

But… it seems like he doesn’t know about it, though!

Wang Hu ignored the little cyan-blue bird and looked at the little cat in his arms instead. With some mild amiability in his voice, he said, “This is the second time we’ve met. You sure brought me quite the surprise.”

Miao Ming’er calmed down a little at the sound of his voice. She knew that he had recognized her as the little cat that should already have died back then.

With some effort, she said calmly and quietly, “It was thanks to the Tiger King and the Tiger Queen that this little cat managed to luckily survive back then. This little cat thanks the Tiger King.”
