Chapter 168: Unt.i.tled
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Indeed, tiger cubs were normally exposed to bloodshed at a very young age.
Especially if they had not activated human intelligence.
After human intelligence was activated, the circ.u.mstances would naturally change.
Regardless of which species it was, once they activated human intelligence, they started to think and began to pursue a better quality of life such as a better environment.
For example, if the awakening of spiritual energy did not happen, he would also let them be exposed to fighting and bloodshed at a young age.
It was for their own good, to ensure that they would be capable enough to survive in the wild.
However, that was not needed now.
They had better conditions, and he was powerful and confident enough that he could shelter the two little fellows from all the storms.
Hence, he was unwilling for the two little fellows to go through hards.h.i.+ps when they were still so small.
At least, it’ll have to wait until they are older.
In his previous lifetime, he was sometimes puzzled why do so many parents let their children get away with anything? These turned the children into useless trash eventually.
Now, he understood.
As a parent, if it were possible, he would also want to give the best to his children.
He even wished that he could shelter his children from storms forever and ever.
This was the heart of a parent.
He thought for a while and said seriously, “Baijun, I don’t really agree with letting Big Treasure and Little Treasure witness fighting and killing when they are still so small.
“It’s too soon for them to witness the bloodshed and savageness.
“This is what I’m most hesitant about. As for safety concerns, I’m absolutely confident.”
Di Baijun pursed her lips and said impatiently, “We can just make them sleep if we don’t want them to see it.”
w.a.n.g Hu’s eyes went bright, appearing to discover this solution just now. He said in a self-deprecating manner, “Onlookers truly see most of the game. How could I not think of such a simple method?”
He paused and said confidently, “Baijun, I think it’s workable. Our whole family will go for the conquest… with Big Treasure and Little Treasure.
“This would definitely be an unforgettable memory for us.”
Di Baijun still appeared a little hesitant. She frowned and said, “Is it really safe?”
w.a.n.g Hu said with a haughty smile, “Baijun, don’t you trust my speed?
“There will not be any danger. How about I enter the world to scout for more information first?
“If there are beings that were too powerful, then we shall not bring Big Treasure and Little Treasure along.”
This was a way of being safe and taking precautions.
Although he knew about the situation in that world, he found out mainly from China.
Going there personally to check was the best option.
If there really were beings that made him feel threatened, he would not bring Big Treasure and Little Treasure.
He was not stupid.
Di Baijun remained silent for a while. She could not make up her mind yet.
“This is the only solution. Apart from this idea that Old Second suggested, I don’t have other better ways.
“It may seem a little silly, but actually, Big Treasure and Little Treasure being by our sides is the biggest form of safety.”
w.a.n.g Hu added after he saw her hesitation.
Di Baijun gritted her teeth in annoyance. She couldn’t pick any flaws, and she really wanted to conquer an alternate world as well.
She clenched both her fists as she struggled internally.
w.a.n.g Hu did not elaborate further. Based on his understanding of Silly Girl, this matter was already definite.
However, Old Second might have to suffer a little for the sake of his Big Brother’s happy life.
It was all worth it, though.
A little hards.h.i.+p was nothing for a man of the tiger species.
Rather, it should be enjoyable.
As the saying went, one who had never tasted what was bitter did not know what was sweet.
The other tigers didn’t even get to enjoy things even if they wanted,
As expected, after a minute, Di Baijun took a deep breath and said, “Okay, let’s do it.”
w.a.n.g Hu smiled.
“Where is Old Second?”
Immediately, Di Baijun’s annoyed voice sounded.
w.a.n.g Hu instantly frowned and said worryingly, “Why? Baijun, you mustn’t beat Old Second just because he was the one who thought of this idea.
“This may be Old Second’s idea, but it was because I asked him. That’s why he suggested it. I’ve already reprimanded him over it.
“And he only suggested it because he’s confident in us.
“Come to think of it… Old Second is a little unseemly lately, but don’t you give him pointers every once in a while? He’s already suffered lots.
“It’s probably just a moment of folly of his.”
After hearing what the rascal said, Di Baijun almost sneered.
Suffered lots?
Hah.
As for the issue of giving him pointers, she hadn’t done it in a while after seeing that he was performing well lately.
As expected, this Old Second was a lecher and full of terrible ideas.
She had let him off too easily lately.
Her annoyance, which could still be repressed initially, suddenly needed a vent uncontrollably.
She stood up abruptly and walked out of the cave.
I understand and accept that the rascal was a loving brother who cared about his younger brothers.
In that case, I shall not ask him or let him interfere. I shall look for Old Second myself.
As the saying goes, the Sister-in-law is like a mother.
It’s about time that I give Old Second a lesson.
She walked quickly, and she exited the cave in a flash.
“Baijun, calm down.”
w.a.n.g Hu shouted from the room but did not move from his position at all.
After sensing that Silly Girl had left, he instantly relaxed and lay down on the bed, giving the bed a good smell.
Comfortable.
Why should I lie in the living room when I have such a comfortable bed?
Once Silly Girl vents her anger by giving Old Second a good lesson, she won’t come back and bother me again.
Perfect.
As for Old Second, he should feel honored that he helped his Big Brother go through some hards.h.i.+ps.
The other tigers didn’t qualify even if they wished to.
For example, Jun Wen wouldn’t make the cut. The same went for Old Third. Old Third was too foolish; he wouldn’t be able to think of this idea.
Su Ling barely made it, but w.a.n.g Hu was worried she might get torn apart by Silly Girl.
Old Second was the best person. The more capable people should be responsible for more things.
He lay comfortably on the bed for a few seconds before extending his divine senses over to watch the events unfold.
In a cave of a mountain near Tiger King’s Cave, w.a.n.g Liang was discussing the matters of the conquest with a few of his closest beasts.
However, he kept on getting distracted and looking out of the cave time and time again.
He appeared to be waiting for something.
Finally, all of a sudden, a frosty and domineering voice was heard. “Old Second, come out.”
When the voice traveled into the cave, w.a.n.g Liang immediately shuddered.
Even though he didn’t hold any hopes for his heartless jerk of a Big Brother, he still felt resentful, seeing that his Sister-in-law really came.
Big Brother, what a great brother you are.
Meanwhile, the other beasts also realized it was the Queen’s voice, and they all ran out of the cave to greet her. “Greetings, my Queen.”
Di Baijun waved her hand and ignored the other beasts. She looked at w.a.n.g Liang who walked out without a choice and said coldly, “Old Second, come with Sister-in-law. Let me give you some pointers today.”
After she finished, the other beasts felt envious of w.a.n.g Liang even though they were also feeling reverent of the Queen.
They could count with one hand how many of them in the Tiger King’s Cave were qualified to receive pointers from the Queen herself.
w.a.n.g Liang’s luck was so good. At the same time, they also understood that they were in no position to be jealous since he was the second brother of the King.
They could only look on and be envious.
On the other hand, w.a.n.g Liang could only feel his heart pounding. Sister-in-law now felt even more dangerous than any other times in the past.
He dared not look straight at Di Baijun, and his gaze wandered as he spoke carefully, “Sister-in-law, I’m discussing the matters of expanding the territory and the conquest now, shall we do it another day?”
“What do you think?” Di Baijun said coldly.
w.a.n.g Liang’s eyelids twitched, and he dared not say anything else. He lowered his head and said sullenly, “Let’s start now.”
Di Baijun was silent, and she blanketed w.a.n.g Liang with her divine powers and teleported into the distance.
There were other beasts here; she should save w.a.n.g Liang some face.
“w.a.n.g Liang is so lucky!”
“Yes. I heard that even Lord w.a.n.g Shan doesn’t get to receive pointers as much as Lord w.a.n.g Liang.”
“Lord w.a.n.g Liang is so smart. It’s only natural that the King and Queen favor Lord w.a.n.g Liang more.”
“You are right.”
The beasts began chattering among themselves once they saw that their Queen left.
Meanwhile, five kilometers away…
w.a.n.g Liang, who was envied by the beasts, was pleading to his Sister-in-law.
“Sister-in-law, can you not hit my face? I have to prepare matters about the conquest tomorrow, and I need to meet other beasts.”
“Sure.”
“Ahhh!”
…
The cries lasted for more than an hour, and Di Baijun finally disappeared in a white flash.
w.a.n.g Liang hobbled as he walked back to his home. Beneath the hair on his body were bruises all over.
His tiger face was not badly hurt; his whiskers were gone, and there was a purplish bruise over each of his eyes.
He looked quite comical.
He endured the pain as he walked slowly. w.a.n.g Liang felt an immense resentment rising within him.
It wasn’t resentment towards his Sister-in-law. He’s not angry at his Sister-in-law; he was angry at that heartless jerk of a Big Brother.
All this Big Brother was good at was setting me up.
Just you wait. I will let this jerk know that I’m not to be trifled with one day!
He clenched his teeth but did not voice out his thoughts. It was all in his head.
Based on my understanding of the jerk—my Big Brother; he would not miss watching the show of Sister-in-law beating me after he personally set me up.
Perhaps he is watching me right now.
In the room in Tiger King’s Cave…
w.a.n.g Hu was watching the events unfolding leisurely. Sigh, Silly Girl went too easy on him.
After exclaiming, he immediately sat up and began circulating his power, pretending to be cultivating.
Not long later, he sensed that Silly Girl returned.
He immediately opened his eyes and said, “Baijun, you are back. Is Old Second okay?”
“He’s not missing a limb at least.” Di Baijun said exasperatedly despite already venting her annoyance.
w.a.n.g Hu breathed a sigh of relief and appeared to put his mind at rest. “That’s good, his limbs are intact. If not, it’ll be hard for him to recover.”
Di Baijun froze for a while and thought that it made sense.
Seemed like she still went easy on him.
“Alright, Baijun. Let’s not think about those.” w.a.n.g Hu stood up and pulled her into an embrace.
He gently comforted her and said, “Now that you have vented your anger, let’s not think about those pointless things. Old Second learned his lesson, and he would behave.
“Don’t worry, I guarantee you that I won’t let Big Treasure or Little Treasure get in harm’s way.”
Di Baijun pursed her lips. She didn’t feel like paying this rascal any attention now.
w.a.n.g Hu pulled her to the bed and comforted her again.
Then, they started to cultivate separately.
Silly Girl didn’t ask him to go to the drawing room anymore, but w.a.n.g Hu didn’t make any moves tonight. All he did was just cultivate diligently.
After all, only one night had pa.s.sed. He’s not an anxious tiger.
Moreover, there was no need to be anxious with his wife. He just didn’t want to lie in the drawing room.
Only those single people without a beautiful wife would be anxious.
Time pa.s.sed quickly, and the day of the conquest arrived. w.a.n.g Hu did not say much and just let Jun Wen and Old Second leave with the groups.
It was only just an instance of expanding the territory. A total of 100 Transformation Realms were sent out. There was no difficulty at all.
w.a.n.g Hu thought it would be an overreaction if he were to encourage them. Moreover, he was about to invade an alternate world himself. It was better not to say anything in that case.
Once the 100 Transformation Realms left, the vicinity of Tiger King’s Cave instantly became quiet.
The Tiger King’s Cave already had 133 Transformation Realms today.
After 100 of them left, there were 33 still remaining. It was enough to manage the beasts that remained.
In the remaining time, w.a.n.g Hu just waited quietly. Every day, Jun Wen would send them updates, informing him of the places they already conquered.
The 100 Transformation Realms were divided into 10 teams, and all the teams pushed forward in a straight line.
Their mission was to search for Transformation Realms and subdue them. If the Transformation Realms refuse to subdue, then they’ll drive them out and make them leave in the direction of the west.
The most time-consuming and toughest part of the process was searching for those Transformation Realms.
Everything else was simple since they just had to push forward. There were no beasts that could withstand any of their teams.
First, their numbers were incomparable, and second, only a few were more powerful than them.
The animal species were not humans.
Unlike humans, they did not have the support of a country and could only develop by themselves. As a result, many Third Realm humans emerged in the short span of a few years.
Even if the animals were all geniuses—unless they were very, very incredible geniuses; they would still be no match to all the beasts of Tiger King’s Cave, who were nurtured using so many resources.
A day, two days, five days, ten days…
After ten days, the team already progressed past 1,000 kilometers, expelled more than ten Transformation Realms, killed five who were insolent, and subdued 21.
Out of the 21, nine of them were species that collaborated with China back then.
The whole process was very smooth-sailing, and no one was capable of obstructing it.
If nothing went wrong, they would be able to achieve their target in another ten days.
In the end, the outcome also proved that accidents were not that common after all.
The target was completed successfully without any mishaps.
The territory was expanded up to the Chinese border which was 3,500 kilometers long. Not including the territory obtained from North Korea, the total land area more than doubled in size.
The team of the 100-odd Transformation Realms made their way back.
When they returned to the Tiger King’s Cave, w.a.n.g Hu only met the Transformation Realms of other species that were subdued once and instructed Old Second to a.s.sign them their roles.
Things were different now, and more than 100 tigers already reached the Transformation Realm. In the future, there would be even more.
Hence, these Transformation Realms of other species were not worth w.a.n.g Hu’s special attention, unless they had an extraordinary talent or performed incredibly well.
For example, he paid attention to Ling Shuang because her talent was good, and the speed of her growth was even faster than Old Second’s and Old Third’s; only Jun Wen was comparable.
Just then, w.a.n.g Hu instructed Old Second to phone China and inform them about the territory that they had occupied.
The Chinese expressed that they were not aware beforehand and would also not interfere; the tiger species were free to do as they wished.
w.a.n.g Hu smiled when Old Second reported this information. He did not believe that China was not aware.
It was just a tacit understanding that they shared.
He didn’t pay much attention to this. Ten days later, when Old Second and Jun Wen were ready with their plans and had everything ready, w.a.n.g Hu phoned Bay, the Russian leader.
He asked for 4,000 Siberian tigers—1,800 males and 2,200 females.
There were Siberian tigers in Chinese ecological parks as well.
Actually, w.a.n.g Hu wanted to have tigers of different subspecies if it were possible.
The tigers that Russia helped to gather would naturally have tigers of other subspecies.
However, despite the awakening of spiritual energy and the overall increase in strength of tigers, the tiger cubs of other subspecies might still not be able to withstand the frigid weather of the North.
The Tiger King’s Cave was also not capable enough to create an environment that these tiger cubs could withstand yet.
On the other hand, Russia was capable, so he could only leave these tigers of other subspecies in Russia first.
200 billion yuan was able to sustain these tigers for a long time.
Hence, w.a.n.g Hu could only ask for Siberian tigers first and think about a solution in the future.
Five days later, all the 4,000 tigers arrived at w.a.n.g Hu’s territory in batches.
This time, apart from a few Transformation Realms in Tiger King’s Cave, the other remaining Transformation Realms all became busy.
w.a.n.g Hu remained stationed in the Tiger King’s Cave to oversee everything. More than 100 Transformation Realms followed according to the plan and settled down these 4,000 tigers.
Many tigers were settled down at the newly gained territories, including the land gained from North Korea.
Many tigers, who were already living in the territory, were also relocated to maintain a balance in power of the tigers that lived in different parts of the territory.
They spent more than half a month handling this matter.
