Chapter 83: Plans, Troublemaker
Yet, she couldn’t lose her temper there and then because she didn’t have any excuse.
She could only secretly sulk and stew in silence. She had originally felt fairly comforted after knowing that Jun Wen—or whatever his name was—was rather pleasant to the eye, but all of a sudden, he became an eyesore to her now.
“How can one be a genius that easily? We’ll talk about it again in the future instead.” Hints of dissatisfaction were in her voice.
w.a.n.g Hu could sense her dissatisfaction. What was the matter with Silly Girl now?
Didn’t she have high hopes for Jun Wen in the beginning?
Why was she suddenly saying such things now?
After a moment’s thought, he agreed with Silly Girl and said, “You’re right. We’ll need to see what happens in the future first. Let’s hope he can continue to mature and develop like this. Besides…”
He paused for a moment before he went on cautiously. “Perhaps his appearance was too sudden, but I still can’t help but feel rather uncomfortable toward him. For now, we can use him, but we mustn’t completely trust him.”
Di Baijun didn’t say anything else. Neither did she take his words to heart.
w.a.n.g Hu subsequently changed the topic and told her about something else that had occurred to him during the last two months.
“Baijun, according to what you’ve mentioned, based on the current spiritual energy density level, if one wishes to metamorphose a few more times during one’s breakthrough to the Divine Body Realm; the process would have to take a very long time, and one would also need to go into seclusion for a period.
“This place is too close to the Hu County alternate world. It’s not safe to go into seclusion here. Should they go to war with each other, it’ll definitely cause us disturbance.
“That’s why I’ve found a good place for us to go into seclusion during my recent trip outside. When the time comes for any of us to break through, we’ll move our whole family over.”
Di Baijun’s brows knitted together lightly. The jerk was right. Going into seclusion meant that they mustn’t suffer any disturbances. Otherwise, it was highly likely that all their past efforts would go to waste. They would be greatly affected should any disturbances take place.
It indeed wasn’t very safe here. She mused for a brief moment before she immediately nodded and said, “Alright, when that happens, we’ll move our whole f—”
She suddenly paused in her speech. As though she had just realized something, she immediately shot w.a.n.g Hu a glare, her anger and embarra.s.sment obvious in it.
What did he mean by ‘our whole family’?
Ptooey.
They weren’t a family at all.
w.a.n.g Hu gave her a baffled look, seemingly not understanding why she was suddenly glaring at him.
“I’ll say this one more time—you and I are not family,” snapped Di Baijun before she turned and walked off.
w.a.n.g Hu didn’t take her words seriously. He merely found it somewhat a shame.
Why wasn’t Silly Girl beating him up anymore?
Also, it had been so long since she last fought with him. Even if there were other tigers around, they could still head somewhere out of their sight to fight, wasn’t it?
What a shame!
It was all because he had helped China out that time, causing him to end up exposing his actual strength. That was why Silly Girl didn’t like fighting with him anymore. What a real shame this was.
He let out a soft sigh and turned around to head off to cultivate.
As he cultivated, he also glanced over at where Su Ling was every once in a while.
Over there, Su Ling had mustered up enough courage and was currently teaching w.a.n.g Shan and getting him to memorize the tiger rules and regulations, which were now a bit complete and a lot more comprehensive.
A highly-dissatisfied and grumbling w.a.n.g Shan recited the lines along with her, all the while thinking that he’d rather be out and about doing proper business instead.
Although it was rather tiring to run errands, it was still better than whatever he was currently doing.
Especially when he saw the other tiger watching them at the side nearby. It made him feel even more frustrated and dissatisfied.
Why?
Why didn’t that tiger need to memorize these things?
He couldn’t accept this.
No, this wouldn’t do. He must talk to Big Brother about it later.
A while later, w.a.n.g Shan didn’t want to wait anymore. He outright glared at Su Ling before he s.h.i.+fted his animosity-filled gaze to the stern-looking fellow who was looking more and more like an eyesore to him.
Roar~!
“Why aren’t you memorizing the tiger rules and regulations?”
His glare made Su Ling instinctively rather fearful, and she didn’t reply to him right away.
Seemingly because he hadn’t expected w.a.n.g Shan to suddenly ask him something like that, a mildly surprised look came over Jun Wen’s eyes. He stayed quiet for a moment before he replied to him in a calm and composed manner.
Roar~!
“I’ve already memorized all the tiger rules and regulations.”
At the side, Su Ling immediately nodded and verified the authenticity of his claim. Jun Wen hadn’t been idle during this recent period. Part of the credit for making the tiger rules and regulations substantially closer to completion and more comprehensive went to none other than him.
Jun Wen knew very well that it was useless to say anything else to w.a.n.g Shan. It was only by replying to him like this would he achieve success in a single move.
True enough, w.a.n.g Shan’s momentum froze for a second—he had already memorized all of it!
That fellow had actually memorized all of those tiger rules and regulations that were giving him such a huge headache and making him incredibly irritated!
He gritted his teeth and roared loudly again.
Roar~!
“What about daily memorization? Or the shouting of lines ten times each in the morning, afternoon, and evening?”
Jun Wen frowned lightly. Then, he calmly replied to w.a.n.g Shan without showing any other unusual emotions.
Roar~!
“This is a rule. Of course, I’ll do it, too.”
w.a.n.g Shan, who had lost all his excuses now, could only let out a cold snort and continue to properly memorize the tiger rules and regulations.
Jun Wen paused for a moment before he started to recite the tiger rules and regulations there and then. After that, he started to shout.
Roar~!
“I pledge my life and swear loyalty and devotion to His Majesty, the Tiger King. I pledge my life and swear that I will protect the tigers and contribute everything I have to the Tiger King and the tigers.”
He shouted the lines ten times continuously without pause. At the sight, w.a.n.g Shan gave up completely and started to valiantly battle the tiger rules and regulations.
w.a.n.g Hu, who was in the midst of cultivating, naturally also heard the shouts and was more or less satisfied. Not bad, at least he knew how to follow the rules.
He admired geniuses, but he admired geniuses that knew how to behave and follow the rules even more.
After doing all of that, Jun Wen continued to observe Su Ling’s lesson in hopes of identifying problematic areas.
It was only when the lesson for the day temporarily ended that Jun Wen stopped what he was doing and returned to his place of residence.
Beneath his calm and peaceful exterior, he continuously contemplated the whole day’s events.
It was only after a long while that he nodded to himself. He hadn’t discovered any flaws or openings.
The Chinese human theories he had read were right. Words containing 90% truth and 10% falsehoods were indeed the hardest to see through.
Almost everything he had said was true. Even if the Tiger King were an extraordinary individual, there was no way that the Tiger King would find any flaws in what he had said. One could say that he had successfully won the Tiger King’s trust.
Next up would be to follow the plan and help the Tiger King to build a dynasty belonging to the tigers while he also worked hard and cultivated to strengthen himself.
Once he became stronger than the Tiger King, he would become the new Tiger King and successfully take over the tiger dynasty.
This was currently the best way for him to establish a tiger dynasty and rule over a region.
He let out a soft sigh as he thought about it. He had lagged behind too much in the beginning.
He didn’t have anywhere near enough power to a.s.semble the tigers while also staying vigilant against possible dangers.
The current Tiger King was the only one that could achieve that.
Thus, all he could do was borrow the Tiger King’s power to a.s.semble the tigers and build a more powerful clan while also protecting himself in this increasingly dangerous world at the same time.
However…
Immense confidence surged from within him as he took in the sensation of the blood flowing through his veins.
It doesn’t matter that I had a late start in the beginning. As long as I’m given enough time, I’ll definitely be able to surpa.s.s the Tiger King. When that happens, everything shall be mine.
Intense ambition suffused him, and determination filled him.
He didn’t start cultivating right away. Instead, he switched on the cell phone, and then with a very serious look on his face, he started to watch a Chinese period imperial court television drama.
There were a lot of things that he could learn from the drama series, things that were essential in building a tiger dynasty.
…
Because of Jun Wen’s arrival, as well as Old Third and Su Ling’s presences, w.a.n.g Hu was able to completely relax from this day onward.
Su Ling was also no longer in charge of w.a.n.g Hu and his family’s food supplies. Instead, Old Third and Jun Wen took turns to do it so Su Ling needed only to take care of her own.
The tool-fox was overjoyed when w.a.n.g Hu announced the decision.
What she didn’t know, however, was that Jun Wen was the one that had suggested it. The reason for this was very simple. He had suggested that it was time that they lay down some rules in consideration for the future.
w.a.n.g Hu had agreed to it after some brief thought.
More and more Transformation Realm-level tigers would eventually appear. It was time that they established some rules.
Thus, w.a.n.g Hu relieved the tool-fox of hunting duties and put her fully in charge of housekeeping, teaching, and being a tool-fox instead.
Apart from that, he also occasionally engaged Jun Wen in discussions regarding how they should set some rules.
For example, regularly patrolling the tigers under w.a.n.g Hu’s rule and his current territory to check on how the tigers were doing, imparting newborn tigers cultivation methods, issues about education and cultivation, and so on.
It was much better than when w.a.n.g Hu had to think about all these by himself back then.
Even though there were more issues to think about, w.a.n.g Hu nevertheless found himself having an easier time. This was exactly the benefit of having a tiger to discuss things with.
Moreover, he didn’t need to personally attend to these matters either. All he needed to do was give the order. This was undoubtedly a huge improvement.
Now that he could relax, he could put his full efforts into cultivating.
Peak-level Transformation Realm was right before his eyes. In other words, the Divine Body Realm was also right before his eyes.
Once he attained the Divine Body Realm, there would be a significant increase in his possible gains. One could say that his antic.i.p.ation toward the future was increasing with each pa.s.sing day, just like how his strength was also improving at the same rate.
In the blink of an eye, four months had gone by.
w.a.n.g Hu’s shoulder height had reached roughly 9.8-meters-tall while his body length had reached roughly 17.2-meters-long. Peak-level Transformation Realm was already close at hand for him.
This was the only thing currently on his mind, and all he wanted now was for everything to stay calm and peaceful so that he could successfully attain peak-level Transformation Realm.
He had even reduced the number of times he teased Silly Girl.
Unfortunately, it was exactly at this point that a person decided to give him trouble.
That was right, a human.
On this day, Li Tong suddenly called him.
His voice was filled with urgency. After some simple greetings, he went straight to the point.
“Your Excellency, a world pa.s.sage has appeared in Russia that’s only 30 kilometers away from your territory.
“Through our investigations, it has been found that a group of Russians first discovered the world pa.s.sage ten days ago and had entered it without permission.
“They created some trouble with the experts in the world pa.s.sage and ended up being pursued. Last night, they led the few alternate world experts into Russia.
“At present, it is extremely likely that those few alternate world experts that have come to Earth have entered your territory. We are currently trying our best to pinpoint their locations.
“Both Russia and China are trying to think of a way to deal with the world pa.s.sage right now.
“We estimate those few alternate world experts to be very strong, but because the spiritual energy density level in Russia is still at peak-level Second Realm, there won’t be any Third Realm existences among them.
“We’re contacting you because we’re thinking of meeting those few alternate world experts together with you. What do you think?”
