Chapter 59: White Fox

Roar~!

“Mommy, Mommy! Little Treasure wants this Cardcaptor Sakura doll.”

Little Treasure was wearing a set of furry snowy-white clothes and a red hat. She was constantly exclaiming loudly and excitedly as she pointed at the cell phone screen with her little paw. Her eyes were bright and shiny, and she looked extremely adorable.

Di Baijun took a look at the cute doll’s photo on the cell phone screen. Without any hesitation, she placed an order for it in a practiced manner.

Roar~!

“Mommy’s the best!”

Little Treasure immediately cheered.

Roar~!

“Mommy, Big Treasure wants a tiger model. A big one!”

Big Treasure also called out to his mother. The current him was also wearing a set of yellow clothes and wearing a golden hat. His paws moved back and forth as he gestured with an excited and expecting look on his face.

Di Baijun thought for a moment. In the end, she still chose to switch the display on the screen and placed an order for the biggest tiger model.

After satisfying the two little fellows’ demands, she started to search for what she wanted, which were mostly clothes for the two little fellows and some household goods like closets, mattresses, bedsheets, basins and tubs, and other things like that.

A short distance away, Wang Hu occasionally looked over at them as he cultivated.

That thought of this popped up in his mind again—luckily, they were tigers and not humans.

Otherwise, he would probably have to rack his brains over how he was supposed to support those three spendthrifts.

Their home underwent a huge change over the short span of a month.

Just the largest closets alone already numbered up to four of them, and they were all filled with the two little fellows’ clothes. It wasn’t limited to just what they were currently wearing but also included clothes for human children.

There were close to a hundred different toys of various sorts, and dozens of pots and basins of varying sizes. They had also bought dozens of bedsheets and mattresses.

Lighting fixtures and some other little trinkets and so on turned their originally-empty home into a disorderly mess.

In any case, it was a disorderly mess in Wang Hu’s eyes. They were everywhere.

From this, he could be sure of something—Silly Girl didn’t know how to get by at all. She practically didn’t know how to do important things like tidying up the house and household chores at all, and yet she also obviously wanted to enjoy a refined lifestyle.

This led to her buying a ton of useless stuff. Within a month, she had already spent almost a million yuan and made Wang Hu run back and forth to collect the parcels almost a dozen times.

Toward this, he actually found it very understandable. Wasn’t he himself also tempted by the idea and wished to lead a refined lifestyle? What more Silly Girl?

Of course, he wanted to. He believed that no intelligent living being would want to go back to sleeping on the ground, drinking from the river, and eating food raw after they’d had a taste of fine living.

Even he yearned for it incredibly, let alone Silly Girl who was obviously born into a noble and extraordinary status.

One shouldn’t be blinded by how she was a tiger. In the world that Silly Girl came from, the Tigers’ civilization might not necessarily be any inferior to the humans of this world.

So what even if he wanted to, though?

Clearly, the conditions hadn’t ripened yet, had they?

They were so big, and neither were their paws as deft or nimble as a human’s. Even if he were to invest great amounts of money and get the Chinese authorities to build an extra-large house that was suitable for them to live in here, their lives wouldn’t be any more convenient.

Besides, who could be sure how long they could live here?

By the time the spiritual energy density level reached a level high enough for Divine Body Realm cultivators to appear and Divine Body Realm cultivators from that alternate world invaded Earth, they would have to move away from here once China launched their nuclear weapons so why bother spending all that effort?

They’d better just maintain their current lifestyle for now and think about it again when conditions become suitable in the future.

As for Silly Girl’s actions, he heaved a sigh inwardly. She could just do as she pleased, he supposed.

It wasn’t a bad thing to let her be nostalgic about her past life anyway. This was five billion yuan they were talking about. She could just spend it as she pleased.

Besides, one must admit that those two little fellows whom she had dressed up had certainly become even more adorable, making him feel like hugging and cuddling them every once in a while.

As for whether the two little fellows would be uncomfortable wearing an extra layer of clothes or not, their mother had already solved this problem all on her own; they had to wear them no matter whether the cubs were willing or not.

Wang Hu was more than happy to see this anyway. In any case, even if they added another few layers of clothes to what the two little fellows were wearing, it wouldn’t bring any harm to their bodies that had already metamorphosed into the White Tiger bloodline anyway. On top of that, it would even make them all the more adorable, so how would he possibly be unwilling?

Indeed, Silly Girl might be terrible at tidying up and doing household chores, but she really was pretty talented at dressing up the two little fellows. He was close to dying from their cuteness.

As for China’s motives, there was one thing that he was sure of—giving them money was definitely a brilliant move.

Disregarding Silly Girl and himself, even other animals that had gained human intelligence would also—if they hadn’t already been corrupted by and assimilated into it—develop a great fondness for human civilization once they’d had prolonged exposure to it, thereby developing a sense of reliance toward it and reluctance to see it gone. Thus, they wouldn’t so easily decide to become enemies with humanity.

After all, intelligent living beings instinctively yearned for a better life.

Once they learned the relevant concepts and had their horizons broadened, the animals definitely wouldn’t reject it and would even enjoy the humans’ refined lifestyles.

As for how to let them come into contact with human civilization and broaden their horizons?

Cell phones and the Internet were the first step. As for the second step, apart from snatching things from others, the best method is to use money and buy lots of things, of course, thereby allowing them to experience humans’ lifestyle.

In the case of existences like Wang Hu and Silly Girl who had experienced civilization and fine life before, the effect was undoubtedly even better.

Wang Hu suspected that China would probably also give the other animals some money later on and let them come into contact with human civilization.

China was definitely capable of coming up with a brilliant move like this.

Even though he understood China’s unique motives in doing so, Wang Hu was completely unable to reject it. In fact, he didn’t even have any thoughts of rejecting it.

After all, why should he?

Wasn’t it better than anything else that his family led a better life?

When the conditions ripened… heh, heh.

He was going to live better than and enjoy life more than everyone else.

After secretly setting a goal for himself, Wang Hu began to focus on cultivating. At the same time, one last thought also flashed past his mind.

It’s time that I buy a mattress, too.

…

As day after day went by, there were more and more things in Wang Hu and his family’s home.

Before they knew it, winter had come once more, and snow sealed off the mountains.

As the ice and snow melted, winter left and spring arrived… as the seasons transitioned from one to another.

One year and five months went by.

After one and a half years of diligent cultivation, Wang Hu had become quite a bit stronger.

He had reached a shoulder height of roughly 7.4 meters and a body length of roughly 13 meters and also advanced significantly along the path toward the Transformation Realm.

Silly Girl’s rate of improvement was no slower than his. Her shoulder height was now roughly 7.3 meters tall, her body length 12.8 meters long.

The two little fellows also finally grew a little bigger.

Although it was only by a little, it was enough to make Wang Hu happy for a very long time.

As for maturing in terms of personality, they were still the same as how they had been one and a half years ago and completely showed no signs of maturing at all.

Wang Hu could be said to have finally gotten his first taste of that ‘1,000 years is equivalent to one year’s growth rate. It was really quite torturous sometimes.

From time to time, he would find himself wondering when his little tiger cubs would grow a little.

Currently, Wang Hu wasn’t at home. Neither was he in the dinosaur world. Rather, he was sprinting through the mountains and wilderness by himself and searching for tigers.

More than two years had passed since the last time he went around searching for tigers and imparting them the cultivation method.

A duration of two-odd years was enough for tiger cubs to be born and grow, as well as for adult tigers to become stronger.

More than two months ago, he had set out once more to impart the cultivation method to new tiger cubs and also to bring adult tigers that were strong enough into the dinosaur world so that they could develop even faster.

During the last two-odd years, Wang Hu had also occasionally visited Old Second, Old Third, and the rest of the first batch of tigers to enter the dinosaur world. All of them were doing pretty well.

Among the eight tigers, only one of them was still missing. For some reason, Wang Hu couldn’t find it anymore. It was very likely that it had already died.

The other seven tigers’ sizes and shoulder heights had also reached over 2.7 meters.

In fact, Old Third’s and another male tiger’s shoulder heights were already nearing three meters tall. This was peak-level First Realm standard.

When they had accumulated more strength after a while, Wang Hu would then bring them out of the dinosaur world and let them slowly deepen their level of comprehension in the original world and wait for a chance to break through.

When that happened, he would truly have subordinates at his bidding, and he wouldn’t need to personally do a lot of things anymore, such as hunting as well as imparting the cultivation method like what he was currently doing.

Despite not activating Extreme Agility Time, his enormous body moved at an astonishing speed nevertheless.

To be honest, imparting the cultivation method to new tiger cubs didn’t take much time this time. After all, there weren’t that many newly-born cubs during the last two-odd years either.

It was mainly because bringing adult tigers that had become stronger into the dinosaur world was rather troublesome.

Going back and forth again and again was slowly making Wang Hu rather impatient, and he felt an increasing desire to have his own subordinates.

No matter what, he was the Tiger King after all. He was a king, and yet he didn’t even have a single real subordinate. Even he found it rather embarrassing to say it out loud.

A day later, he found another two new cubs. After imparting them the cultivation method, Wang Hu breathed a sigh of relief. He was more or less done.

He would be able to return home after he searched through the area in front.

The thought of it made him rather excited.

Even more motivated now, his speed also became a notch faster.

When he was going around a corner, Wang Hu’s eyes suddenly widened. His enormous body came to a hard stop, and he almost fell forward uncontrollably.

At the same time, a sharp, ear-piercing shriek filled with fear also rang out.

When he came to a stop, surprise and wariness filled Wang Hu’s eyes—because dozens of meters away in front of him was an extremely beautiful human woman. Dressed in a splendid snowy-white gown, she looked as if she had stepped right out of a painting. Seemingly having suffered an incredibly huge shock and fright, she sat limply on the ground and stared at him in shock and horror.

Why was there a human woman here?

On top of that, she was even dressed like that!

Wang Hu knew that something was wrong, of course, and he went on the highest alert possible.

“Y-Your Majesty, the Tiger King!”

All of a sudden, the woman spoke. Her gentle and beautiful voice trembled slightly; she was evidently in an extreme state of fear.

In spite of that, she held on and rose to her feet before bowing. Wang Hu could see that her body was still shaking.

Your Majesty, the Tiger King?!

Mandarin… also, she knows me?

The moment the thought occurred to him, he sniffed the air lightly.

This scent… why does it kinda resemble…?

His eyes narrowed, and he let out a ferocious roar.

Roar~!

The tiger’s roar startled the mountains, instilling fear in all the animals. It was as though this one sound was the only thing left in this part of the earth.

The woman trembled even more all over, and she fell limp onto the ground right away. When Wang Hu looked over again, the human woman was gone.

Only a fairly large white fox remained where she previously was.
