Chapter 43: The Two Treasures Fight
He saw Silly Girl cultivating outside the cave immediately when he got home.
When she saw that he had returned with a cell phone, she came up to him and took it away.
Her icy cold gaze was as if she was warning him not to touch the cell phone.
Wang Hu suppressed his laughter and obediently acted as though he was confused.
The next few days panned out exactly like what he had expected.
Silly Girl didnât allow him to touch the cell phone at all. She drove herself fuming mad every day whenever she used the cell phone. On top of that, the angrier she was, the more she wanted to continue looking at the cell phone.
The way she was trying so hard to suppress her anger terribly amused Wang Hu.
They also fought another two times after that, which Wang Hu took all the more pleasure in.
Meanwhile, he also secretly observed the situation using the other hidden cell phone.
It had taken only a short few days for the news about his family to completely spread and develop on the Internet.
With the help of an invisible force, it seemed like the entire China had come to know of his family during these short few days. Additionally, the mainstream opinion was also positive.
Wang Hu was happy to see that because it was indicative of Chinaâs sincerity and amicability and that they wouldnât take any aggressive action against him and his family.
Just like that, a period of relatively peaceful days went by, day by day.
On this day, Big Treasure and Little Treasure scampered out of the cave and raced toward where the cell phone was placed.
Awooo, awooo~!
âDaddy, Little Treasure wants to watch Cardcaptor Sakura[1].â
Awooo, awooo~!
âNo, Big Treasure wants to watch Rainbow Cat & Blue Rabbit[2]! The Rainbow Pierces The Sun[3]!â
The two little fellows got into an argument right away.
Roar~!
âNo, Rainbow Cat is boring!â
Little Treasure raised her head and shouted at Big Treasure.
Roar~!
âYou canât say that! Rainbow Cat is a good show! Dancing Fire Tornado[4]!â
Big Treasure didnât back off one bit. In fact, he even bared his teeth and brandished his claws a little, raising both front paws and gesturing wildly as he did so.
Little Treasure was already pouting by now.
Roar~!
âItâs not like youâre a cat anyway. Youâre a tiger so you canât use Dancing Fire Tornado.â
Roar~!
âMommy said that the cats are vassals to us tigers. I can do everything that they can so I can also use Dancing Fire Tornado!â shouted Big Treasure in an awfully loftily.
Little Treasure glared furiously at Big Treasure, smacking her paw against the ground a couple of times angrily.
Roar~!
âNo, you canât. I wanna watch Cardcaptor Sakura!â
Roar~!
âYouâre not human anyway. Whatâs there to watch?â
Big Treasure didnât back off at all.
Awooo, awooo~!
âLittle Treasure is mad! Youâre a stinky big brother!â
Roar~!
âYouâre also a stinky little sister, then!â
Awooo, awooo~!
âLittle Treasureâs gonna hit you!â
Roar~!
âBig Treasureâs not scared of you. Sakura isnât as strong as Rainbow Cat. Big Treasureâs the strongest!â
Roar~!
âSakura is the strongest! Oh, wind, IâLittle Treasureâcommand you. Release!â
Little Treasure shouted huffily and pounced at Big Treasure.
The moment Big Treasure saw that, he also let out a shout and pounced toward Little Treasure.
Roar~!
âDancing Fire Tornado, the ninth stage!â
The two little fellows bared their teeth and brandished their claws at each other, waving their short little legs as they became entangled in a fight.
Shortly after, snowy-white fur became covered in dust, and they even shouted as they fought.
Awooo, awooo~!
âOh, lightning, IâLittle Treasureâcommand you. Release! Destroy Big Treasure the stinky big brother!â
Awooo, awooo~!
âGood will always triumph over evil! A stinky little sister will never win her big brother in a fight either. Dancing Fire Tornado, the tenth stage!â
Two tiny little figures constantly twisted, turned, and rolled about on the ground. Wang Hu, who was a short distance away, was rendered speechless by the sight.
However, he had also somewhat gotten used to it. He didnât know when it exactly started, but at some point in time, those two little fellows had started to fight with each other, especially after they started to watch those nonsensical cartoons.
To argue in favor of what they liked to watchâas well as to fight over what they should watch, they had started to fight even more with each other.
On top of that, they even shouted awfully embarrassing stuff while they fought.
Wang Hu continued to cultivate while he watched them âapatheticallyâ at the sidelines, allowing the two little fellows to fight as they pleased.
He would never admit that watching those two little fellows fight was actually pretty interesting. In any case, tigers had strong bodies so it wasnât like anything bad would really happen anyway.
Besides, were there any tiger cubs that didnât fight?
Of course, while he was secretly more than happy to watch, he naturally didnât let it show.
Roar~!
âAlright, stop fighting.
âBig Treasure, you should give in to your younger sister. Little Treasure, you should also give in to your elder brother.â
âHey, donât attack his eyes, Little Treasure.â
âAlright, stop fighting.â
Gentle roars constantly rang out, but the two little fellows didnât pay Wang Hu any heed at all. They continued to shout names of the moves as they fought.
All of a sudden, the look in Wang Huâs eyes changed, and his tone became stern.
Roar~!
âAlright, stop fighting.â
At once, Big Treasure and Little Treasure seemingly received a shock, and they stepped away from each other reluctantly though they continued to look huffy and indignant.
The next moment, a figure emanating a cold aura stepped out of the cave. The look in her eyes instantly changed when her gaze fell onto the dust on the two little fellows.
Roar~!
âWho allowed the two of you to fight again?â
The anger in her voice made both Big Treasure and Little Treasure hang their heads in aggrieved sadness.
Roar~!
âMommy, Stinky Big Brother didnât give in to me. He even said that⊠said that Rainbow Cat is stronger than Sakura,â said the pouting Little Treasure.
Roar~!
âRainbow Cat
is
stronger than Sakura. Youâre a stinky little sister!â shouted Big Treasure stubbornly.
Di Baijun could feel the corner of her eye twitching. She, who had already been in an irritable mood lately, became even angrier.
Those two little rascals. None of them gives me even a moment of peace.
The next instant, her glaring eyes shifted to the jerk who was the culprit of it all.
Roar~!
âIs standing there and watching the only thing you know?â
Wang Hu promptly lowered his head in admittance to his mistake and chose not to argue in defense of himself.
Roar~!
âI was wrong, Baijun.â
Di Baijunâs brows drew togetherâthe sight seemed somewhat familiar to her. Then, she suddenly became so angry that she felt as if she couldnât even quite catch her breath. As she stared at that well-behaved act of Wang Huâs, she really wished she could give him a tight slap across the cheekâbecause she had suddenly remembered that was exactly how Big Treasure and Little Treasure had owned up to their mistakes whenever they misbehaved recently.
Then, they would cleanly forget all about it and continue to make mistakes after that.
That jerk must have been the one that led Big Treasure and Little Treasure astray.
Roar~!
âMommy, Big Treasure was wrong.â
Roar~!
âMommy, Little Treasure was also wrong.â
Before Di Baijun could dwell on it any further, the two little fellowsâ voices as they admitted to their wrongdoings also rang out one after the other. They watched their mother nervously and even gave up on fighting with each other over whether Rainbow Cat or Sakura was stronger.
Di Baijun found herself short of breath from anger again. As expected, they had learned it from that jerk after all.
Wang Hu, who found the situation not quite right, spoke carefully at this point.
Roar~!
âBaijun, Iâll bring Big Treasure and Little Treasure to take a bath, alright?â
Roar~!
âScram!â
Di Baijun let out a furious roar.
Wang Hu immediately sprung to action. He glared at the two little fellows who were also awfully well-behaved at this point, and they obediently followed after him.
As Di Baijun glared at the three big and little jerksâ disappearing back views, she smacked her paw against the ground angrily and ran over as well.
That jerk was incapable of doing anything at all. He couldnât even clean Big Treasure and Little Treasure properly when he bathed them.
On this hot and sweltering summer day, the family of four soaked themselves in the refreshingly cool water pool.
Alright, so Wang Hu had jumped into the pool while enduring the sharp-as-knives look in Silly Girlâs eyes and pretending that he hadnât seen anything.
In the end, Di Baijun cast a glance at Big Treasure and Little Treasureâwho were frolicking happilyâand merely gave a cold snort, ultimately choosing not to say anything.
That jerk, Iâll eventually make him pay once and for all someday.
Wang Hu breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first time that the whole family was taking a bath together.
As expected, one must have the courage to try and break through hurdles in everything one did.
The limit to Silly Girlâs tolerance existed precisely so that he could break through it.
After thinking about it happily for a while, Wang Hu glanced at Big Treasure and Little Treasure and spoke.
Roar~!
âBaijun, Big Treasure and Little Treasure should be able to cultivate by now, right?â
At the mention of proper business, even though she continued to take on a disdainful attitude, Di Baijun replied properly nevertheless.
Roar~!
âThey are still too young. Thereâs no need for them to.â
Wang Hu frowned a little. He thought for a moment before he replied.
Roar~!
âEven if thatâs the case, we canât just allow them to play like that every day!â
Di Baijun glared at him, her countenance cold, haughty, and domineering.
Roar~!
âPlaying is exactly what tiger cubs should do. They can start cultivating when theyâve naturally reached the Transformation Realm instead.â
Roar~!
âWhy must they wait until they naturally reach the Transformation Realm before they start to cultivate?â
Wang Hu was rather puzzled.
Di Baijun gave him a disdainful glare again. In the end, seemingly because she thought of how she had beaten up that jerk quite a few times recently, she decided to grant him a slightly impatient reply.
Roar~!
âBig Treasure and Little Treasure may have awakened their White Tiger bloodline, but their awakening was ultimately postnatal so they ended up being held back for two to three years. They need time to naturally nurture themselves and make up for their congenital deficiencies.
âWaiting until they naturally reach the Transformation Realm to cultivate will be beneficial to their foundation even if we have to make up for it a little.â
She paused for a moment. Then, a slight air of arrogance surfaced in her voice, and she went on.
âWhen they naturally reach the Second Realm, theyâll be able to cultivate the Tiger clanâs most powerful imperial scripture and bring out the White Tiger bloodlineâs true might.â
Wang Huâs heart pounded hard. The Tiger clanâs most powerful imperial scripture!
The sound of it alone was enough for one to know that it must be something extremely impressive.
Of course, he would want it, too.
Roar~!
In a serene yet somewhat curious tone, he asked in a seemingly nonchalant manner, âThe Tiger clanâs most powerful imperial scripture? Is there really something like that?â
Di Baijun cast a glance at Wang Hu and gave a disdainful reply.
Roar~!
âThe Tiger clanâs most powerful imperial scripture is something that only those of the royal bloodline and the White Tiger bloodline can cultivate.
âThose without the White Tiger bloodline, including even the elders, are not allowed to cultivate it. Neither are they able to.â
Then, she paused for a moment andâfor some reasonâadded, âEven I couldnât cultivate it back when I hadnât awakened my White Tiger bloodline yet.â
After she spoke, Di Baijun turned away and refused to look at that jerk anymore.
She was secretly irritated, however. Why was she explaining the matter in such detail to that jerk?
Wang Hu, whose attention was on the cultivation technique, didnât notice these little things either. The news was a bit of a shame to him, and his interest in acquiring the technique was extinguished.
Evidently, that was a technique that only those with the White Tiger bloodline could cultivate. It was impossible for anyone else to cultivate it. He, however, didnât have the White Tiger bloodline.
They didnât talk about anything else after that. After Di Baijun bathed Big Treasure and Little Treasure in such a way that they were nice and clean, the family went home.
After summer came autumn. Winter seemed to have come especially quickly.
Snow started to fall one sudden night.
As Wang Hu watched the heavy snow seal off the mountain once more, the plan that he had been secretly forming for a long time now completely emerged.
He decided not to wait any longer and set off to set the plan into motion and make preparations for the future.
