Chapter 132: Showing Off the Children
Wang Hu went over the space bagsâ functions with him first. Although Transformation Realm cultivators didnât have any divine powerâneither could they externally release their mental power; they did have Blood Qi.
Additionally, if mental marks werenât left on the space bags by the owners, they would still be able to open these bags. It wasnât difficult to put things in. As for taking them out, all they needed to do was just pour the contents out when they had to.
After listening to his instructions, Wang Liang personally gave it a try. He couldnât help but become rather excited.
âDistribute these space bags to the animals. From now on, the guard team and the hunting teamâs mission is to tear off flesh from the carcasses and store them in the space bags. After that, they are to send all the meat to the tigers in the territory.
âAs for what routes to take, what kind of duties each animal should undertake on each day, and how to check whether theyâve done it or not; these things will all be under your charge. Understand?â said Wang Hu seriously.
The Second Realm Huisâ flesh couldnât be stored for too long after their deaths. This was the case even with the fairly cold weather currently. Their level of imperishability was far lower than the Divine Body Realm Huisâ.
The animals in Tiger Kingâs Cave alone definitely wouldnât be able to finish 3,000-odd Second Realm Huis within a short while.
Sending the meat to the distant tigers was something that definitely had to be done.
To the tigers that were all still in the First Realm, the flesh of Second Realm creatures would be of great use.
âYes, I understand.â Wang Liang nodded seriously.
âYeah. Remember to put aside the bones, claws, and other things like that together in one place after tearing off the flesh. Donât discard them.
âThatâs it for now. Go and plan what you need to do now.â Wang Hu waved him off.
Wang Liang nodded and walked out.
After making these arrangements, Wang Hu immediately felt rather relaxed. He was in a pretty good mood. Now, this was the advantage of having subordinates, especially clever ones.
Take this fairly troublesome matter that entailed a lot of work for example. All he had to do was just instruct someone to do it.
He trusted that Old Second, Jun Wen, and the others would do a great job. There was no need for him to worry about it at all.
After thinking carefully for a while and ensuring that he hadnât overlooked anything, he returned to the room and started to cultivate together with Silly Girl.
Elsewhere, Wang Liang started to rack his brains and design a plan the moment he returned to his place of residence.
This wasnât a simple or easy task. He needed to plan routes for each animal according to their individual characteristics, speed, and even their personalities.
Of course, there was no way there wouldnât be a sliver of selfishness involved here, such as favoring a certain somebody so that he would give a more outstanding performance.
As he thought about it, a hint of a cheeky smile involuntarily surfaced.
Early in the morning the next day, after the regular recitation and loud pledging, Wang Liang called out to the animals.
âIâm sure everyone is already aware of the instructions that the lord gave yesterday. The mission starts today. Listen up, everyone.â
After speaking confidently, he brought out a large cell phone. While referring to the map, he started to talk concretely about the mission, as well as the arrangements for every animal.
â⊠Jun Wen, your mission is to send one carcass each to the 48 tigers in this area.â
In the end, Wang Liang pointed to an area in the furthermost corner of the territory at the periphery. As though nothing was wrong, he looked at Jun Wen and spoke.
Some animals were originally frowning, while some were reluctant to carry out their mission. However, when they heard this one last arrangement, a quick thought was all that was needed for their frown to disappear right away.
The reason for this was very simple. They just needed to do a quick comparison, and they would realize that Jun Wenâs mission was the hardest. The number of tigers he was in charge of sending meat to wasnât a lot, but the traveling distance was the longest and the most time-consuming.
As a tiger and even one of the lordâs trusted subordinates, there was nothing much that anyone could say about him receiving the hardest mission. It was very fair.
At once, all the animals obediently collected a space bag and began to move out. The sooner they completed their mission, the sooner they could return and cultivate with peace of mind.
Jun Wen was the last to collect the space bag from Wang Liang. With a frown on his face, he gave Wang Liang a long, hard stare.
Wang Liang gave him an amicable smile and said earnestly, âIâll have to trouble you this time, Jun Wen. Youâre also aware that all the animals are defiant and rebellious. Not only has the lord entrusted me with the mission this time, but it also concerns the whole of the tiger species.
âTo convince all of them so that theyâll obediently carry out their missions and increase the tigersâ strength overall, I can only get you to shoulder a little more to show our fairness and impartiality.
âDonât worry. When the time comes, Iâll definitely report how much hard work you did to the lord.â
Jun Wen gave Wang Liang another long, hard stare before he said coldly, âThanks a lot, then.â
âItâs something I should do,â replied a smiling Wang Liang seriously.
Jun Wen then strode off. A disdainful smile surfaced as Wang Liang took a few looks at him.
Suddenly, Wang Shan walked over and spoke with great displeasure.
Roar~!
âOld Second, youâre so useless. To think you actually gave Jun Wen that little work.â
His words took Wang Liang by surprise. Then, he glared dryly at the fool. Was that only a âlittle workâ?
If he were to increase the workload, everyone would be able to tell that he was beating down Jun Wen.
Too lazy to bother with the fool, Wang Liang wanted to leave.
Roar~!
âOld Second, you fool. Youâve let such a good opportunity slip by you. Just you wait. The next time we spar with each other, I definitely wonât show you any mercy.â The moment Wang Shan saw Wang Liangâs reaction, he spoke with even more dissatisfaction.
Wang Liang almost choked at his brotherâs threat. Exasperation and fury filled him. When had that scoundrel ever shown him any mercy?
Why wasnât that dumbass in the list of mission participants?
Otherwise, Iâll definitely take âgood careâ of him.
He let out a cold snort, quickened his footsteps, and left. He really didnât wish to see that dumbass behind him that only knew how to rely on brute force.
Just wait. That dumbass would eventually fall into his clutches someday. When that happened, he would properly settle all the scores with that fool.
If he didnât teach his brother a good lesson, his name of Old Second would be in vain.
The lively and boisterous mission commenced. All the animals tore off the flesh from the carcasses and stored them into their space bags. Then, they followed the map and delivered them to the tigers they were in charge of.
Those with spouses even got their spouses to help with tearing off the flesh so that they would only need to deliver them once they were done.
A supervisor was naturally essential in the mission, and this supervisor was none other than He Dingtian. After all, he could fly, so his speed was the fastest.
Wang Hu and Di Baijun didnât pay any attention to the bustle. Instead, they cultivated and recuperated in peace.
Even the two little fellows were pestering them a lot less ever since the two gained a bunch of little friends.
This went on until Li Aimin called again one day later.
âYour Excellency, the representatives of each country havenât changed their minds. All of them would like to pay you a visit no matter what,â said Li Aimin fairly seriously.
Wang Hu frowned, somewhat surprised. He had already stated that he was going into seclusion; hence, he would only send other tigers to receive them even if they came. Yet, they actually still wanted to visit regardless.
After less than a secondâs consideration, he said calmly and aloofly, âSince they would like to come, then go ahead.â
âAlright, Iâll inform them about it. Iâll inform Your Excellency when the representatives of each country have decided when they would like to visit,â said Li Aimin with a nod.
âYou donât have to inform me about it anymore.â Wang Huâs tone was cold and aloof as he said, âMy wife and I are going into seclusion very soon. You can liaise with my second brother about the upcoming matters instead. Iâll send you his number.â
Li Aimin raised an eyebrow. Instead of becoming angry, he was rather happy instead. He chuckled and said, âAlright. Weâll liaise with your second brother from now on instead.â
After they hung up, two meters away, Di Baijun frowned slightly and asked, âWhatâs the matter?â
âNothing much. Itâs just the other countries. After seeing me kill so many Third Realm cultivators, all the other countries canât sit still anymore and want to make our acquaintance, thatâs all.â
Wang Hu spoke with a relaxed smile as though he didnât think much of the matter at all. There were even hints of smugness in his voice when he spoke to Silly Girl.
As expected, Di Baijun gave him a disdainful glance as though saying âThatâs nothing. Whatâs there to be so smug about?â
Then, she asked, âDonât you intend to meet them?â
âDo you want to meet them?â Wang Hu countered with another question instead.
âHmph, a bunch of mortals with ulterior motives. Why would I want to meet them?â replied Di Baijun terribly coldly and haughtily without even thinking about it.
âRight? Baijun doesnât wish to meet them, and neither do I. Rather, it isnât time for us to meet them just yet, so thereâs not much point to it. Iâll just get Old Second to meet them instead,â said Wang Hu as though he was alluding to something.
Then, Wang Hu paused for a moment before he frowned slightly and said, âSince weâve decided not to meet them, if we stay here, in the event that something requires us to show ourselves after theyâve arrived; it would be terrible.â
âWhat do you mean?â Di Baijun cocked an eyebrow.
Wang Hu revealed a bit of a smile that carried a hint of anticipation. He said, âWhy donât I bring you, Big Treasure, and Little Treasure somewhere, Baijun?â
âWhat place is it?â A faint and barely discernible foreboding feeling suddenly welled up in Di Baijun, and she asked fairly warily.
Wang Hu chuckled and lightly uttered two words in response.
âŠ
Half an hour later, Wang Hu summoned Old Second. After giving him some instructions, he announced his seclusion and that no one was allowed to disturb him.
That evening, Old Second informed Wang Hu that the representatives from the countries would be paying Tiger Kingâs Cave a visit the next day.
Half an hour later, a streak of golden light flashed in the dark of the night, soundlessly flying toward the south like a lightning bolt.
More than ten seconds later, young, joyous voices of children rang out within the golden light.
âDaddyâs so fast! So fast!â
âHeh, Daddy can go even faster.â
âEven faster than the last time we brought us flying?â
âOf course.â
âHmph. Slow down. Big Treasure and Little Treasure wonât be able to take it.â
âItâs fine. Iâve already used my divine power to protect them.â
âMommy, Daddy. Where are we going?â
âDaddyâs bringing you to an especially fun place. However, Big Treasure and Little Treasure mustnât transform into little tigers, okay?â
âWhy?â
âBecause itâll scare a lot of children.â
âŠ
Roughly half an hour later, in a very famous A-list city of China, slightly over 7 oâclock in the evening was an extraordinarily lively and bustling time in Beijing.
Bright lights and feasting could be seen everywhere, and many places were filled with throngs of people. The prosperous and flourishing atmosphere there was extremely strong.
The liveliest place was undoubtedly the central square.
All kinds of thingsâsuch as food, drinks, entertainmentâcould all be found there. It had everything.
At some point, as though soundlessly, a family of four appeared.
Among them were a man and a woman. The man wore a black casual suit while the woman wore a white coat.
At first glance, their faces and physiques seemed to be covered by a thin layer of fog. Upon closer inspection, they looked ordinary and unremarkable. The moment a person shifted their gaze away, they couldnât remember how these faces looked anymore.
The two little fellows whose hands they were holding, however, were dressed in similar clothingâwith one in black and one in white. Their big eyes on their delicate and exquisite little faces were currently widened as though in extreme astonishment and curiosity and made them look awfully adorable.
They immediately attracted every passerbyâs attention. The looks of fondness on their facesâas though they wanted to come forward to hug, pinch, and kiss themâcaused the two little fellows to hold on tightly to their parentsâ hands somewhat timidly.
âHmph. There are too many people here. I donât even know whatâs so fun about this place.â
âItâs livelier with more people around, isnât it? Câmon, Iâll bring you guys around to have some good food.â
âHow tiresome. Iâm filled with regrets now. I shouldnât have listened to you and come to such a place.â
âDonât be impatient, Baijun. I promise you definitely wonât have any regrets after this.â
Thatâs right, the family of four that had suddenly appeared was none other than Wang Hu, Di Baijun, Big Treasure, and Little Treasure.
Wang Hu didnât want to stay in Tiger Kingâs Cave, lest the various countriesâ senior officials create some kind of trouble to lure them out, causing them to become entangled with these people and engage in infighting with them.
Besides, he really did want to come to the human world to take a look and have some fun. Thus, he had tried very hard to persuade Silly Girl until his mouth and tongue were all dry. The family of four then arrived at this place, intending to have a full day of fun before going back.
Di Baijun didnât reply to Wang Hu. However, the doubt and skepticism in her eyes were obvious.
âMommy, Daddy. Why are they all looking at Little Treasure?â
Suddenly, Little Treasure tugged on her fatherâs large hand and asked with a somewhat timid expression.
Even her expression that had originally been filled with astonishment and curiosity had toned down a lot.
âYeah.â Big Treasure nodded in agreement.
A smile appeared on Wang Huâs face. With some smugness and pride, he smiled and replied comfortingly, âThatâs because Big Treasure and Little Treasure are so adorable. All of them like Big Treasure and Little Treasure very much.â
Beside him, a hint of a gentle smile had also surfaced on Di Baijunâs face.
âReally?â Little Treasure looked delighted right away.
âOf course,â replied Wang Hu definitively.
He and Silly Girl definitely had to hide their appearances when they brought the rest of their family out with them. Otherwise, it was obvious how big of a commotion they would cause. What were they to do? They were simply too perfect.
However, the two little fellows naturally wouldnât need to. Otherwise, what was the point of bringing them out?
Those people could just continue to be green with envy.
Hehe!
His smile widened a few notches. Even so, he felt that it wasnât enough yet, and he reached out and gently pinched Big Treasure and Little Treasure each on their little faces.
As he took in the envy and jealousy around him that had intensified even further, Wang Hu led them into the central square.
âLetâs go. Daddy will buy you things to eat. You can eat anything you want.â
âOkay! Daddyâs the best!â
âBig Treasure wants to eat that.â
âOkay. Big Treasure, Little Treasure. You can speak Mandarin here. Havenât the two of you already learned it?â
âThere are so many people here! So much more than what we have at home.â
âSho pretty! Itâs a wittle tiger.â
âŠ
Soon, the family of four disappeared into the crowd without being particularly eye-catching.
It was just that the two especially adorable little fellowsâ and the two adultsâ hands seemed to be carrying an endless supply of various snacks, which looked fairly unusual. However, it was still far ways off from attracting unusual looks from others.
Half an hour laterâŠ
âTry this, Baijun. Just try a bite.â
âNo, Iâm not eating that trash.â
âJust try a bite. If itâs not good, then we wonât eat it anymore.â
A certain cold and haughty woman reluctantly took a bite.
Half a minute later, while her husband was buying new snacks with the two children, the snacks in the womanâs hand rapidly diminished.
âMommy, I wanna eat a roast corn cob,â a young, childish voice called out happily.
âThere isnât any left,â the womanâs cool voice rang out.
âThere isnât? But there was still some left just now. I havenât eaten it yet.â The childish voice was full of puzzlement.
âBig Treasure has eaten it all,â replied the woman definitively.
âHuh? Big Treasure didnât eat it, Mommy.â Another young voice rang out.
âBig Treasure remembered wrongly. Youâre the one that ate it,â said the woman with great certainty.
âOh.â
