âLetâs go.â Chu Yi Yi rubs her shivering arms, âwe need to hurry, the sun looks like its about to set. I donât want to be out here in the middle of the night.â
âMhmm.â Huang Xiao Ying the tigress whimpers in support, following closely behind the two so they wonât be lost a second time.
Fortunately the city in question wasnât that far from their location. Before long, the party had come upon a sign with the name Ice Realm clearly written on the surface.
âWatch out!â
Chu Yi Yi had only taken the first step after seeing the sign when a loud hollering cry caught their attention from the forefront. Looking up, they could see a frantic Three Stripe Tiger speeding towards their location with another girl trying to give chase from the rear. Itâs obvious this out of control tiger belonged to that anxious looking girl whoâs crying and calling for it stop.
âYi Yi, Xiaoyun, both of you step aside!â Huang Xiao Yingâs expression got all serious and hurriedly pushed her two companions away to act as a shield for this rampaging animal.
âYou stand right there!â She locks onto the Three Stripe Tiger and orders with her resounding roar like voice.
Perhaps itâs due to that roar, or simply because theyâre both tigers, but Huang Xiao Yingâs words definitely had an effect and settled the poor animal. Even so, the frenzied look in those eyes did not disappear and remained strong despite being more subdued and not moving.
âTigerly!â The girl whoâs been chasing from the back wanted to take this chance to check on her precious friend when the tigress promptly raised a hand out to stop it.
âYou canât go over there, heâs in a frenzied state and will hurt anyone that draws near.â
âThen what am I supposed to do?â Wiping some of the tear away, the poor girl weeps, âMy Tigerly have always been very good and would never hurt anyone, why did he suddenly lose control like this? He even refused to listen to my words....â
Huang Xiao Ying realized that the girl was sincere about caring for the Three Stripe tiger. Easing up in her stern face, âDid you feed him a Tigertail Grass?â
âTigertail Grass, whatâs that?â The girl appeared puzzled at the name.
âTigertail is a medicinal material, useful for many types of recipes. However, tigers themselves canât eat it, otherwise they will become violent and lose control.â
âSister, can you help me save Tigerly, he is what Mother left me before she passed away. Iâve been with him for many years, I donât want to lose him...â The young teenager pleads, her face all red and flushed with emotion.
Although in the Celestial Realm predominantly shunned demons, but there some who are able to contract with demonic beasts, provided they gain the approval of the animal itself. However, there are also many cases where the poor creature are tortured until they submit and forcibly enslaved.
âDonât worry, Tigertails has a time limit before its effect are worn off. We only need to wait and do nothing.â
âBut...â the teenage girl casts a glance at her familiar before biting down on that lip, âBut... what am I going to do? People from the city are going to be coming through this area, Iâm afraid they will encounter Tigerly and create a scene. If that happens then the city officials will get involved, and then, and then....ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
