Chapter 37: The Master of the House

After he finished speaking, he took out something with a smooth surface—about three meters long, two meters wide, and about half a meter thick—from the cabin behind him.
“Your Excellency, Tiger King, this is a mobile phone invented by China, specially customized for you. There are some introductions of China on it.
“You can find a lot of content inside, and you can also contact me directly through it. May I teach you how to use this directly through my mental power?” Li Tong said sincerely.
w.a.n.g Hu was a little curious. He pretended to hesitate and then nodded.
Li Tong smiled before jumping directly from the plane. He then landed on the ground and walked towards w.a.n.g Hu holding the huge mobile phone.
w.a.n.g Hu’s muscles gradually tightened; it was impossible to relax.
Soon, Li Tong walked to a spot tens of meters away from w.a.n.g Hu, put down the mobile phone, and looked at w.a.n.g Hu’s eyes. His mental power surged as he tried to connect with w.a.n.g Hu with an uncomplicated message.
w.a.n.g Hu could feel the Tiger King Body reacting in reflex, and so he immediately took the initiative to accept it. Else, the opponent’s mental power would not be able to enter his mind.
He also suppressed the effect of the Tiger King Body for the silly girl to teach him the cultivation method on the second try.
He accepted it the next moment. It was just some methods of using the mobile phone.
After he was done, Li Tong smiled and said: “As soon as you turn on the phone, you can learn the Chinese character language that we set, and you can use the phone officially after.
“Your Excellency, Tiger King, please trust our sincerity.
“We really want to make friends with Your Excellency, Tiger King’s family and become friendly neighbors.”
w.a.n.g Hu spoke with a calm expression on his face.
Roar~!
“I’ll think about it.”
“Okay, I will come again in a month. I hope I can get good news from Your Excellency, Tiger King by then. Goodbye.” Li Tong nodded and smiled.
He turned around and walked towards the plane as though he was not worried that w.a.n.g Hu would sneak attack from behind.
The helicopter quickly disappeared under w.a.n.g Hu’s gaze as Di Baijun walked out of the hole, the two little guys hopping out curiously.
Roar~!
“Daddy, what was that? It’s different from us.”
Roar~!
“It can even fly, Daddy. Little Treasure wants to fly, too.”
After asking, Big Treasure and Little Treasure noticed the huge mobile phone on the ground and ran over before w.a.n.g Hu could answer.
Di Baijun’s eyes were serious, and after thinking about it, the mental power surged through her eyes, carrying a lot of information and rus.h.i.+ng into w.a.n.g Hu’s mind.
w.a.n.g Hu reacted and took the initiative to accept it. At a glance, it was all about some understanding of China and the world, as well as Chinese characters.
Doubts arise; how did the silly girl know? He didn’t even know.
Di Baijun replied a little impatiently as if feeling his doubts.
Roar~!
“This n.o.ble one once read the memory of a human here.”
While speaking, she had already walked to the phone and looked at it, but she didn’t try to open it; letting the two little guys jump up and down by her side.
w.a.n.g Hu pondered for a moment and solemnly spoke.
Roar~!
“Baijun, what do you think?”
Roar~!
“Humans?”
Di Baijun turned around, her tone quite solemn.
w.a.n.g Hu nodded and replied in the same manner.
Roar~!
“Baijun, you have heard the words of that human being from China. What do you think?”
Di Baijun answered without hesitation.
Roar~!
“The individual human races in this world are not strong, and the so-called technology is not that great. However, it is not suitable to be in conflict with them now.
“That Chinese seemed sincere. We can agree to it.”
w.a.n.g Hu nodded secretly, her words exactly what he thought.
In the end, the initiative lied in the hands of China because China was strong.
China was now willing to coexist peacefully, and the conditions were right. He had no reason to refuse.
No matter how sincere the other party was, this agreement would last for as long as they become stronger.
That was enough.
However, he still had to remind the silly girl.
Roar~!
“Baijun, you are right, but don’t let your guard down.
“There was a saying among human beings: ‘people who weren’t from my tribe must harbor different intentions’.
“I feel that the saying is very proper. We should never relax our vigilance against humans.
“Humans may break the agreement at any time even if an agreement was reached.”
Di Baijun looked on a little disapprovingly when she heard this reminder that sounded like a warning. Why would she relax her guard?
She hadn’t forgotten the nagging of her King Father, Queen Mother, and the senior members in the family.
Suddenly, she remembered the action of this b.a.s.t.a.r.d asking her to hide in the cave.
A sense of realization arose; this b.a.s.t.a.r.d seemed to be regarding himself as the master of the house.
Ridiculous, this n.o.ble one was the… no, she didn’t belong to the same family as this b.a.s.t.a.r.d. The word did not link them at all.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at w.a.n.g Hu, revealing a hint of danger.
w.a.n.g Hu was slightly startled. Why did it seem as though this silly girl’s emotion was slightly different now?
Roar~!
“These things will be determined by this n.o.ble one. I will not allow you to interrupt.”
The strong and domineering tone was like a high and mighty empress.
Only then did w.a.n.g Hu realize that this silly girl felt that her authority was threatened and wanted to be the master of the house.
He was feeling funny in his heart, and he didn’t fight for the t.i.tle of ‘master of the house’ as he roared gently.
Roar~!
“Baijun, I’m just suggesting. I will listen to you.”
The domineering and overbearing Di Baijun immediately felt awkward. She wanted to be angry but couldn’t, and so she could only snort.
w.a.n.g Hu smiled in his heart and spoke again.
Roar~!
“Baijun, leave everything to me when dealing with humans in the future.
“You must protect Big Treasure and Little Treasure and be prepared for their betrayal of the agreement at any time. I will take on the battle and the aftermath.”
Di Baijun thought about it and nodded, agreeing to his suggestion.
Big Treasure and Little Treasure were even more important. She wouldn’t be at ease leaving them for this b.a.s.t.a.r.d to protect.
Moreover, in the tiger clan, King Father used to battle while Queen Mother protected me. It was normal.
She suddenly felt like something wasn’t right again.
She was secretly annoyed. How could she compare the relations.h.i.+p between her King Father and Queen Mother to the relations.h.i.+p between this n.o.ble one and this b.a.s.t.a.r.d?
They were only cooperating because of Big Treasure and Little Treasure.
She glared at that b.a.s.t.a.r.d and turned around.
w.a.n.g Hu was a little baffled by this stare. It didn’t seem like she had discovered his intention.
If he had been found out by the silly girl that he was just giving her an empty t.i.tle of ‘master of the house’ while he faced the outside world and pa.s.sed internal affairs for her to take care of…
Wouldn’t she be furious? How would she just simply end things with a glare?
He stopped thinking about it since he couldn’t understand it. Who knew what went wrong with this idiot again?
He needed to calm down and sort out what happened just now.
What impact would it have if they reached an agreement with the humans since they were now discovered?
What should they do next?
His thoughts ran and even ignored the mobile phone for a while.
Before long, after Big Treasure and Little Treasure’s interest were weakened and they fell asleep as soon as sleepiness grasped them; Di Baijun tried to open the phone, obviously unfamiliar with it.
When w.a.n.g Hu saw it, he became interested and walked over to watch.
He found that this phone was indeed specially made for them. Their tiger palm could slide over the pages smoothly other than it being big.
As soon as they turned on the phone, the content of the Chinese characters had been skipped by the silly girl, and w.a.n.g Hu did not need to pretend to learn it with the information imparted by her.
w.a.n.g Hu was in a daze, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar pages.
However, when he came into contact with the phone again, he was not as excited as he had thought before.
He glanced at the silly girl who was awkwardly manipulating the phone, and a smile formed on his lips.
Maybe, he had really gotten used to his current life, or perhaps his heart was settled.
This family was where he belonged now.
He no longer or yearned for the human world; neither was he missing it in the slightest. All that was left were memories.
w.a.n.g Hu could no longer bear to watch the silly girl trying to operate the phone after a while. Her actions were too stupid and sluggish, which made him have the urge to push her away and operate it himself.
However, he gave up this impulsive idea after thinking about it.
The silly girl would not be easy to appease if he were to break off her silly curiosity in such a manner.
He could only watch helplessly by the side.
After some time, he still couldn’t help it.
Roar~!
“Baijun, erm, isn’t that the back b.u.t.ton?”
Roar~!
“This n.o.ble one knows.”
Di Baijun glared at that b.a.s.t.a.r.d and pressed her tiger palm down.
After a while, w.a.n.g Hu couldn’t help but speak up again.
Roar~!
“You need to register. Do you see the word ‘registered’?”
Roar~!
“Shut up, this n.o.ble one knows.”
…
Roar~!
“The voice b.u.t.ton is there. Didn’t you press it just now?”
Roar~!
“Go away.”
Roar~!
“Alright, alright, I won’t say anything else.”
Over the next two hours, w.a.n.g Hu’s helpless voice sounded from time to time, as well as Di Baijun’s somewhat angry roars throughout the quiet mountains and forests.
On the other side…
Li Tong, who was returning by helicopter, grew very relieved before reporting to Chen Jianguo via his phone.
“Old Chen, I personally feel that this agreement shouldn’t be a problem. This Northern Tiger King is not very hostile to us humans; he is more on his guard.
“I tested him out, but he did not have any intention of attacking me.
“We have already sent our mobile phone to him. The more he understands, the better he will understand our sincerity. He cares so much about his family; he will definitely agree to cooperate with us,” Li Tong said solemnly.
Chen Jianguo nodded slightly in his office in the capital and said with a smile: “Well, you did a good job. This first step is finally over, very good.
“Now that the situation is changing, we have to make more friends and reduce as many enemies as possible.
“You’ll still be responsible for the communications with the Northern Tiger King. The planning team is now a.n.a.lyzing the actions taken by the Tiger King just now. Listen more to it.
“However, we must not stop our own cultivation. No matter what, our strength must be placed first.”
Yes, I understand,” Li Tong replied solemnly.
