At that moment, Fang Yuxin had already healed the injuries of the Mutated White Tiger. Surprisingly, it didn’t leave and just lay there obediently, allowing Fang Yuxin to pet its head. It even actively rubbed its fluffy head against her palm.
Bai Ye looked coldly at the young man and then watched this scene unfold. He couldn’t help but smile wryly. Bending over, he rubbed the Mutated White Tiger’s head and asked it telepathically, "Would you like to acknowledge me as your master and become my battle companion?"
The White Tiger seemed to understand and actually nodded its head.
Seeing this, Bai Ye was somewhat astonished. He had always known that this White Tiger was quite intelligent, but he never expected it to be this clever! It turned out to be quite a find!
Without any further hesitation, he quickly used the method he had seen in his heritage to complete the master recognition ceremony with the Mutated White Tiger.
Although the young man was rejected, he didn’t leave. However, he didn’t rashly approach either and picked a distance that was neither too far nor too close to watch. Seeing Bai Ye successfully become the master of the Mutated White Tiger, he couldn’t help but say, "Hey! This big tiger is really nice! It makes me want to get one too."
Bai Ye ignored him, but Fang Yuxin glanced at him curiously, thinking about his previous conversation with Bai Ye and couldn’t help but turn to Bai Ye with a meaningful smile.
Bai Ye felt embarrassed by her laughter and quickly said, "Alright! Let’s go back!" After speaking, he patted the Mutated White Tiger’s head and said to it, "From now on, you’re with me. Your name will be... let’s call you Bai Er. I’m the boss, and you’re the second!"
The White Tiger shook its head and stood up. It let out a roar from its mouth; it was hard to tell whether it liked the name "Bai Er" or not. But Bai Ye had already made a decision, so even if it didn’t like it, there was nothing it could do.
After Bai Er roared, it roared again towards Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin. Since Fang Yuxin was not its master and didn’t understand beast language, she had no idea what it was roaring about. But Bai Ye said, "It’s telling us to get on; it wants to carry us out."
On hearing this, Fang Yuxin’s beautiful eyes lit up, and she couldn’t help but reach out to touch Bai Er’s smooth fur. Then she agilely leapt onto its back, with Bai Ye following close behind her. Bai Er was huge, about three meters long, and carrying two adults was not strenuous for it at all. Both of them sat on its back without feeling cramped.
As soon as they got settled, Bai Er roared at Zhou Han not far away. Then it shook its head proudly and skillfully leaped through the woods carrying Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye.
Its jumping ability was excellent and in the blink of an eye, it had already put a great distance between them and Zhou Han. Zhou Han’s eyes shone brightly, and he didn’t seem upset at all, shouting, "Wait for me!" while he quickly followed them.
His speed was indeed very fast, and it didn’t take long before he caught up with the two and the tiger. This made Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin realize that he had enhanced his speed. Bai Er certainly didn’t expect this annoying human to be able to keep up with it, so it let out a roar of displeasure at Zhou Han running alongside it and increased its pace, leaving Zhou Han behind.
But soon, Zhou Han caught up again. He didn’t speak, but his actions were quite stubborn.
Bai Ye still wouldn’t agree, while Fang Yuxin enjoyed watching the scene unfold, saying nothing. She could tell that this young man wasn’t quite right in the head, a bit like a "Martial Fool" from TV dramas. Not stupid, just unusually stubborn about learning martial arts, while not too shrewd about worldly wisdom.
Soon, they were back at the location where their car was parked. This time, they found that more than a dozen zombies’ bones had appeared on the ground. Those zombies must have encountered them after they had left, but unfortunately, they hadn’t found an easy target and had all been killed.
Seeing this, Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin instinctively looked toward Qian Lang and Zhao Yan. Their car had good defense, and as long as Li Qingyun stayed inside, there would be no issues. As for those five people, including the elderly, women, and children, it was uncertain how they were faring.
On closer inspection, they found that these people were quite fortunate and had not been injured.
So, the two of them didn’t pay any more attention to them and went straight back to their car.
When it was time to get in the car, Bai Er encountered some trouble. Its large size meant that even if it could squeeze in, it would definitely be uncomfortable. Thinking of Angela who could shrink in size, Bai Ye patted Bai Er’s head and asked, "Can you shrink?"
"Ow—" Bai Er’s cry sounded somewhat innocent, and its golden eyes looked blankly at Bai Ye, seemingly not understanding what he meant.
Bai Ye was about to frown when Bai Er had already leapt decisively onto the roof of the car, laying down majestically on top of it. Bai Ye’s brows furrowed even deeper, with such a large White Tiger on their car, they won’t be able to keep a low profile on their journey!
At that time, other people were curiously looking at the huge White Tiger.
Bai Ye called it down, but Bai Er pretended not to hear and lazily lay on the roof, rotating its big head curiously looking around.
Bai Ye, feeling helpless, just let it be.
Zhou Han had already caught up. He was about to walk towards Bai Ye when Bai Ye glanced coldly at him. Seeing this, Zhou Han’s round eyes blinked, and he immediately turned around, headed toward a few people not far away.
He noticed at a glance that Zhao Yan’s car had only her in it, so he walked over, smiled revealing two cute canine teeth, looking especially adorable, "Big sister, can I catch a ride with you? I can pay you with Crystal Cores." Saying this, he opened his palm, which held five shiny Basic-level Crystal Cores.
