Chapter 24: Jade
The tiger king just stabilized, Chen Nan once again swung his fist to hit its head, the tiger king roared to the heavens, suddenly madness, not due to the downward trend, in the air shaking his head and tail, crazy tumbling, it is bent on to throw Chen Nan down to the body.
Distant merchants looked at the intense struggle in the air, with fear incomparable, scared body like sieve chaff.
The mercenaries on the ground were all scared, everyone held their breath and looked nervously into the air, all secretly pinching a cold sweat for Chen Nan.
At this moment, only the Little Princess was still voicing out, "Harder, harder, just a little bit closer to flinging that stinking thief down, but be lighter ah, just drop him half dead, I still want him to solve that broken fingering method for me."
A few mercenaries not far from her gave her an odd glance, which resulted in a big blank stare from the little princess, as well as a cold snort.
Chen Nan rode on the Tiger King's neck, his legs firmly clamped around its neck, his hands vigorously clutching its fur. Smelling the whistling wind in his ears and looking at the growing silhouette on the ground, he felt a pang of nervousness in his heart, blaming himself for being too hasty and enraging the Tiger King.
When he was still six or seven feet away from the ground, the Tiger King suddenly stopped tumbling and unfolded his wings to stop the downward momentum.
Chen Nan let out a long breath, by this time he was already in a cold sweat.
The Tiger King was already seriously injured, and after some strenuous movements, it was already exhausted and staggered towards the ground.
The fight between Cinnan and the Tiger King could be described as thrilling, he could fall from the sky at any time and be shattered to pieces, and the people on the ground were all chilled to the bone.
When the tiger king wobbly landing to the ground less than three feet distance, Chen Nan hanging a heart finally put down, he ruthlessly in the tiger king head hit a punch, and then force in the tiger back a stomp, from the above jumped down.
The tiger king let out a roar of unwillingness, from the air straight down, crashed into the ground with a bang, overpowering a large area of shrubs.
The mercenaries on the ground shouted in unison, each raising their blades and frantically attacking the Tiger King.
The merchants in the distance all let out a breath of relief when they saw Chen Nan shoot down the powerful demonic beast, and after the nervousness, everyone fell to the ground helplessly.
Just now, the Tiger King had been so ferocious in the air, and after some lightning and flames, it had caused the mercenary group to suffer heavy losses, with those who died being killed and those who were injured being injured. At this moment, the survivors attacked it madly with the mentality of revenge, its body was full of all kinds of blades, in the blink of an eye, the tiger king was dying, the blood dyed the grass red, the blood mist fluttered above its body.
Hundreds of beasts see the tiger king on the verge of death, roaring, hissing a big mess, and finally to the four directions to fly scattered, fishy wind surging, the ground a tremor.
The little princess suddenly ran behind the mercenaries and anxiously shouted: "Stop, stop, it's dying".
All the mercenaries froze, they all looked back at her, one mercenary's face was flushed with anger, saying: "What are you talking about little girl, how dare you ask us to stop, this beast has taken more than twenty lives, they are all our brothers who have been living with each other all day long"
Chen Nan rushed over and said, "This little girl has a problem with her brain, typical little confused, ignore her, you guys continue." Saying that, he pulled her up and left.
The little princess struggled while screaming, "You're the one with a problem, let go of me you guys don't want to kill the Tiger King, I can compensate you for your losses."
One of the mercenaries said angrily, "How are you going to compensate what are you going to pay for the lives of those brothers"
"People can't come back from the dead, but I can give some compensation to the families of those who died."
The mercenaries frantically attacked the Tiger King, no one stopped even if the little princess shouted, until finally the Tiger King was completely motionless, the crowd only listened down.
At this time, the tiger king's whole body was a bloody mess, blood from those shocking wounds to the outward gurgling, some places have even revealed the white bones.
The little princess was furious and anxious, but did not have the slightest solution.
Chen Nan said, "In the beginning, you, the all-abominable little devil, tortured me in every way, but now you're actually showing sympathy to a ferocious beast, you're simply an unbelievable little devil."
The little princess exasperatedly said: ''It's up to you, the Tiger King is much better than you, you are the most shameless and despicable bastard in this world, one day I'll kill you by a thousand cuts''
At this time, someone wanted to cut open the Tiger King's chest and abdomen to get the magic crystal core, the little princess was anxious and shouted: "Don't do it, you didn't shoot down the Tiger King, why do you want to get its magic crystal core".
The leader of the group came over and said: "What is the name of this brother".
Chen Nan said: "My name is Chen."
"I didn't expect Brother Chen to be so skillful, but he was able to convince the ferocious Tiger King and save many brothers from its poisonous hands, the magic crystal core in its body should belong to you."
The deputy leader also said, "The magic crystal core should indeed belong to Brother Chen, let's take a break and bury the corpses of our fallen brothers."
This time, the mercenary group suffered heavy losses, twelve people were seriously injured and twenty-three died.
After cleaning up the scene, the crowd of the mercenary corps expressed some gratitude to Chen Nan before heading towards the merchants, leaving only Chen Nan, the little princess and Guan Hao at the scene.
Guan Hao smiled awkwardly and said, ''I didn't expect Brother Chen to be hidden, and his skills are even higher than my bodyguard's, hehehe''
Chen Nan said, "Do you want to return that hundred gold coins to me"
"Ah, today's weather is good, windy and sunny, cloudless, clear blue sky, spotless"
The little princess shouted, "What are you going to say, dead rat?"
"ah, I hey, I want to discuss something with brother Tatsu, can you give me those things you do not want, such as: tiger skin, tiger whip"
The little princess standing not far from him pounced over at once, kicking and scratching at him.
"You rich, perverted dead rat go away, nothing will be given to you."
Guan Hao hurriedly fled.
The little princess turned her head and said to Chen Nan, "Can you leave me alone with the Tiger King for a while?"
Tatsuo Nan muttered as he walked away, ''It's true that I'm as close to the devil as I can be, and I've actually developed feelings for such a ferocious beast.''
Only after watching Chen Nan disappear at the woods did the little princess let go of her heart, she muttered to herself, ''It doesn't make sense, that stinky old man my master said that growing magical beasts are all very tenacious in their vitality, and are extremely unlikely to die, so how did this guy hang up so quickly''
She circled around the Tiger King and sighed softly, "It seems to be really dead." Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard a dull gasp, the little princess was startled and hurriedly turned around to watch.
Only to see the tiger king's eyelids fluttering, and then surprisingly opened, followed by a tremor in the tiger's body.
"Ah, it's alive, it's really not dead." But at this moment, she was a little afraid, just now she saw the tiger king's ferocious power, at this moment her heart was apprehensive.
The little princess' voice trembled a little: "Little tiger, don't be afraid, I have no malice."
"Is it telling it not to be afraid, or comforting yourself not to be afraid ahaha what a laugh." Cinnan had already left, but thinking of the unpredictability of the beasts in the mountains, he was a little uneasy about the little princess, and turned back, just in time to hear those words from the little princess, and couldn't help but laugh.
"How could this princess be afraid of a small tiger, why did you scum suddenly come back again" Seeing Chen Nan's sudden appearance, she was no longer afraid in her heart.
"Come on, such a super beast, don't you crown it with a small word okay, how do I look at you is not enough to stuff it's teeth."
"Hmph, I want you to care."
Chen Nan circled around the Tiger King and said, "I really didn't expect ah, this guy is actually so tenacious, he's already injured like this and still can't leave this world."
The little princess was a little nervous and said uneasily, "Dead scum you don't want to strike again, right?"
"Yes, if this kind of beast stays in the world, I don't know how many people will suffer."
The little princess immediately blocked in front of him and said, "No, I won't let you touch it."
The Tiger King suddenly staggered and stood up, at this time, the blood water where it was lying down was already half a foot deep, its eyes flashed ferociously when it looked at Cinnan, but more or less there was some fear, the eyes that looked at the Little Princess were softer.
"Huh, it is not hostile to me, little tiger, you will not bite me, right".
After hearing the words of the little princess, the tiger king actually shook his head in a rather homoerotic manner.
The little princess immediately cheered and said, "Oh my god, it can actually understand what I'm saying, it's unbelievable."
After seeing the Tiger King stand up, Chen Nan had already pulled out his longsword, the blade shining with a cold, murderous aura.
When the little princess saw his action, she said sharply, "Don't do it."
Cinnan said, "What if it hurts someone again?"
The Little Princess said, "It won't, it definitely won't hurt anyone again."
"You are not it, what can you guarantee."
"You hum, it listens to me." The little princess turned back to the tiger king and said, "Listen to me, don't hurt anyone else, or this stinky guy in front of you will kill you."
The Tiger King looked at the Little Princess, by looked at Chen Nan, and finally nodded.
This made the little princess happy and praised, "It's so spiritual, it's even stronger than those stinky dragon rider's dragons, little tiger from now on you'll follow me, I promise I'll treat you well."
Chen Nan snorted, ''Save your energy, such a big guy will obediently follow you, dream on. Besides, it's so badly injured at this time that walking is a problem, those mercenaries definitely won't let it go."
"I don't care, I won't let anyone hurt it again, if those mercenaries want to make a move then, you must protect it."
"Are you kidding? I'll protect it."
The Little Princess no longer cared about him, and said with some distress: "The little tiger is seriously injured, it is difficult to move, and its size is so big, how can we get it out of here?"
At this time, a thing that made Chen Nan and the little princess dumbfounded happened, the tiger king's wings and unicorn horn suddenly disappeared, the huge tiger body began to quickly become smaller, the tiger body from three zhang long to less than a zhang, inserted in its body of those weapons are falling to the ground, the wounds on its body in the rapid healing, only a moment of time, has been intact as in the beginning.
The tiger king shook his body vigorously, and the blood on his body was immediately thrown off cleanly, and a snow-white shiny fur appeared.
Chen Nan was astonished, "It's actually a demon tiger, it already knows some of the laws of change."
The Little Princess was also surprised, calling out, ''It's incredible, it really knows some of the Law of Change yeah.''
Chen Nan pondered, although he had never seen a demon, he had heard his father speak about it. Many of the spirit beasts in the East were able to gather the energy of heaven and earth and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and with the accumulation of time, these spirit beasts gradually became psychic, and slowly figured out their own cultivation methods. Many of these beasts became powerful, and in the eyes of the world, these beasts became demonic beasts, and the more powerful ones were called monsters.
Demonic beasts and monsters have extraordinary aptitude, demonic beasts are generally huge, and can spit clouds and fog, monsters are obviously much more powerful, the legend of the monsters are able to transform into a human form, with the knowledge of spells, non-earthly top masters can not compete with them.
Back then, his father, chen war had encountered a powerful demon, after a battle, the demon back to its original form. After the battle, Chen Zhan had pondered carefully and gradually understood some of the mysteries about demonic beasts and monsters.
During their cultivation, demonic beasts slowly changed their physique so that their bodies could better accommodate the aura of heaven and earth, so demonic beasts were generally huge, and their huge bodies were filled with powerful energy. Once a demonic beast has been seriously injured, or is on the verge of death, the energy in its body will slowly dissipate and reveal its original form, changing to the size of an ordinary beast.
Demons are much more powerful than demonic beasts, they are no longer pursuing quantitative changes in their bodies, but are striving for qualitative changes, the reason why demons transform into human form is also striving to change their physique, in order to better cultivate. Legend had it that the physiques of humans and some divine beasts were the most suitable for cultivation, so the demons were either striving to hallucinate into humans or striving to transform into divine beasts.
Chen Nan gazed at the Tiger King in front of him, his face filled with amazement, earlier he thought that this was just a powerful demonic beast, but he didn't expect it to know the cultivation methods of demonic beasts.
"It's really not simple, it's worthy of having the bloodline of the Eastern White Tiger and the Western Demon Tiger, it knows the cultivation method of demonic beasts and also has the ability to cast magic that is inherent to demonic beasts. I'm afraid this fellow has been cultivating for thousands of years, it's indeed a bit of a pity to kill it."
The little princess shouted: "Absolutely cannot be killed, the little tiger is cute, beautiful and so magical, I must keep it by my side, but it would be good if it were a little bit smaller."
After listening to the words of the little princess, the tiger king swayed a little, and his body actually began to slowly get smaller.
"The little princess was so excited.
The Tiger King changed from a foot long to a foot long and looked like a cute little porcelain cat.
The little princess shouted happily, "Oops, it really has become a veritable little tiger, come here." She waved at the Tiger King.
The kitten-sized Tiger King twisted its body, a pair of white feathered wings were born under its belly, a jade horn appeared on its forehead, and then gently flapped its wings and flew up, pouncing towards the little princess's arms.
Chen Nan looked dumbfounded and muttered, "How is this possible, when a demonic beast is seriously injured and loses its strength, it will be knocked back to its original form, how can it continue to get smaller this tiger has an oddity".
The little princess hugged the snow-white tiger king and "giggled".
The tiger king put away its wings and unicorn horn, at this time it was like a soft kitten, squinting comfortably in the arms of the little princess.
Chen Nan sighed: "Colorful tiger, you really know how to find a place".
The little princess angrily said: ''Scum what are you talking about, the little tiger wouldn't be as nasty as you.''
The Tiger King opened its eyes and looked at Cinnan, at first there was a slight look of fear, then it seemed to sense that the Little Princess was able to protect it and suddenly opened its mouth and sprayed out a tiny arc of electricity.
It happened suddenly, and with a soft 'crack', the arc of electricity struck Cinnan's head, resulting in his face being blackened and his hair standing on end.
"Dead tiger, colorful tiger, I'm going to kill you, xxxxx's, how dare you move the earth on the head of too many years old."
The little princess pushed him away and said, "Serves you right, you provoked me first, the little tiger was acting in self-defense."
Tatsunami: ''
It took him a great deal of effort to smooth his upright hair, and then he stared fiercely at the Tiger King, saying: ''Don't think that you're safe just because you've turned into a cat, as long as I let out a yell, those mercenaries will immediately rush up and kill you by a thousand cuts.''
The little princess said, ''How dare you, now that the little tiger is with me, I won't let anyone harm it. Well, I should give it a name, what should I call it? It's all snow white and shiny like jade, I'll call you Little Jade."
The Tiger King happily rubbed against the Little Princess's towering breasts, looking at Chen Nan wanted to spurt nosebleed, he began to secretly envy that guy.
The Little Princess laughed, "He likes this name, it's great, we'll call him Little Jade from now on."
Chen Nan said, "Your name is Chu Yu, the colorful tiger is called Little Jade, you two are really close."
"Little Jade, from now on I am your master, from now on you must listen to me. This guy in front of you is not as old as you, from now on you have to call him your brother, understand?"
Little Jade nodded her furry tiger head at the little princess, and then shook it at Chen Nan.
Cinnan was so angry that he really wanted to go over and pinch it to death.
"Colorful tiger, sooner or later one day I'm going to skin your cat."
The little princess said, "Xiao Yu mustn't learn from your brother, this guy is bad from head to toe, when you are strong enough, help me teach him a hard lesson"
"Enough, little devil stop fooling around when a demonic beast is seriously injured it usually reveals its original form and turns into an ordinary beast, but this colorful tiger is ancient and weird, don't you think it's dangerous"
"I don't care if it's weird or not, I only know that it listens to me, I don't need you to mind my business."
"Imp, you're playing with fire."
The little princess said, "Alright, hurry up and help me think of a way to hide it from those mercenaries."
Tatsunami said, "I'm not going to commit mass anger for an oddly colored tiger."
The little princess said, "Actually, I have a way, I just need you to cooperate, you must help me, even if I beg you, okay, otherwise, I want you to have a hard time all the way, and keep annoying you."
On this journey, the little princess could be said to be unquestionably naughty and unruly, seemingly not realizing that she was a captive in the slightest, and every time she had shocking words and actions. Sometimes Cinnan really wanted to strangle her to death or implement certain nasty ideas on her body, making her realize that currently she was just a prisoner. However, the moment he thought of that one hundred and seventy year old demon from the Chu royal family, he extinguished the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart.
That old man was the most terrifying cultivator he had ever encountered right now, if he harmed the little princess, heaven knows how that old demon would punish him. The main thing was that he felt that that old man had followed him along the way and seemed to be in the shadows, which was the reason why he had not dared to make excessive moves towards the little princess.
Although the little princess had made Chen Nan feel abominable along the way, when he thought back carefully, he realized that all of this seemed to have been done intentionally by this little girl. He felt that this little girl was not shallow-minded. Observing carefully, it wasn't difficult to realize that along the way, she had intentionally acted as if she was naïve, uninitiated, and capricious, allowing people to relax their vigilance against her.
In fact, the little devil was by no means a simple-minded person, her performance in the western border of Chu was enough to show that she was not shallow in her city, and of course, her nature of being bratty was also one of the reasons why she behaved in such a manner.
Of course, there was another reason why the little princess didn't care much about her current situation. She had long ago carefully analyzed the situation in front of her, knowing that Chen Nan did not dare to act rashly for a while, and did not dare to completely tear her face off with the forces behind her and meet with swords. After all, he couldn't fight a country on his own, and now he still needed her as a "talisman".
Based on the invisible threat from the old demon, as well as all the potential pressures, the "maid raising program" was difficult for Chen Nan to implement. However, no one could say what would happen in the future, and he did not have any fear for these reasons, but of course, worries were unavoidable.
By this time, the Little Princess had already muttered to the Tiger King Little Jade for a while, carefully instructing it.
"Little Jade, you go to the road ahead to wait for me, now must not let those mercenaries find out, understand" Finished, she placed Little Jade on the ground and watched it disappear into the depths of the woods.
And then the little princess made a look of exasperation and exclaimed loudly, "It's bad, the tiger king has resurrected"
The members of the mercenary troupe were shocked, the leader was the first to rush over on his wounded Earth Dragon, the vice leader also used Wind Soaring to quickly fly over, and the other members followed closely behind them.
When the crowd rushed over, the Tiger King was nowhere to be seen.
The leader of the group eagerly called out, "What happened to Brother Chen?"
Chen Nan said stiffly, ''Just now, I was about to cut open the Tiger King's abdomen when it suddenly jumped up, spread its wings and flew into that deep mountain.'' Saying this, he pointed his finger at a mountain range not far from this valley.
The crowd listened with their heads hanging down, none of them thought that the Tiger King would pretend to be dead.
Only the little princess alone was secretly overjoyed.
The tiger king of this fiasco so passed, was knocked out of the horse one after another woke up, the crowd began to go on the road again.
Along the way the crowd spoke little, every member of the mercenary corps had a hint of sadness on their faces, the atmosphere was a bit dull.
After traveling a dozen miles, the little princess couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "This guy Xiao Yu wouldn't have gotten lost, right?"
Chen Nan snorted, ''You little devil are usually as cunning as a little fox, but today you actually let a colorful tiger get lost, it's really funny''
As soon as his words fell, Tiger King Xiao Yu scurried out of the forest with a 'whoosh' sound.
The little princess exclaimed, "What a cute little kitten" and said she ran over and held Little Jade in her arms.
The crowd was amazed, not only because the 'bobcat' let the little princess hold it in her arms, but also because the 'bobcat' was strikingly similar to the previous Tiger King. If not for the overwhelming difference in size between the two, the crowd would have immediately drawn their weapons and rushed up.
Chen Nan muttered in a small voice, "This colorful tiger is really horny, he's actually infatuated with you, it's really shameless."
The little princess cursed in a small voice, ''You're the most shameless bastard in this world yet''
Xiao Yu nodded repeatedly in her arms.
Chen Nan looked on fire and cursed, ''Shit, you colorful tiger can actually really understand what we're saying, I xxxxx, you horse's ass, sooner or later one day I'll peel off your tiger skin to make insoles.''
Tiger King Xiaoyu often go out at night to forage for food, at first the little princess found it disappeared when it was still very anxious, but slowly know it's habits do not care.
There were no more accidents along the way, and the group was about to arrive in Sin City.
