Yang Ruxin patted Dabai and Xiaobai, "You two are actually whispering to each other?"
Xiaobai whined, What whispering? Mom and I were discussing how to make you rich overnight.
Yang Ruxin laughed instantly, "Then just get me some Thousand-year Ginseng and eternal Lingzhi mushrooms and that will be enough."
Xiaobai rolled its eyes, Do you think Thousand-year Ginseng and eternal Lingzhi are like leaves on trees? Falling in autumn and sprouting again in spring?
Yang Ruxin touched her nose, I was just saying.
Gu Yao knew about Dabai and Xiaobai, so he wouldn’t be too surprised, but Little Liuzi and Tie Dan had no idea, they could only watch Yang Ruxin mumbling to a big white tiger, not knowing how to react for a moment.
Unable to bear it any longer, Dabai nudged Yang Ruxin’s leg with its big head, There are other people here, aren’t you going to introduce this mother tiger?
Yang Ruxin realized her oversight and hurriedly looked back at the others, "Dabai is my friend... I once saved it in the mountains, and it has also helped me. It’s a very spiritual White Tiger King and also Xiaobai’s mother." While patting Dabai’s head she added, "Honestly, it has more affection than humans..."
Dabai growled softly at the group.
"Don’t move; let it memorize your scents. If you go up the mountain later, it will protect you," Yang Ruxin said with a smile.
With a lazy rise, Dabai got up. Although injured, it did nothing to affect its elegance. Then it moved with stately steps, sniffing each one in turn.
Little Liuzi and Tie Dan were so stiff that they dared not move, while Gu Yao wasn’t afraid and even reached out to pat Dabai’s head. However, when Dabai reached Dao Xuzi, it got annoyed. What’s with this old man? The way he looked at it made its fur stand on end; it even hesitated approaching him.
Dao Xuzi, not at all astonished by Yang Ruxin’s friendship with a tiger, seemed to think everything that happened around Yang Ruxin was normal. At this moment, his excitement was palpable. Tigers weren’t rare, but a pure white tiger was. And to have a tiger as a pet? How cool would that be? So, without waiting for Dabai to approach, he rushed forward, "Dabai, I am Xinxin’s master... Do you recognize any little tigers? Get me one as a pet, will you? If not a little tiger, a wolf, leopard, or anything; after all, you’re the Mountain King, it should be easy for you..."
Dabai rolled its eyes and decided it was done dealing with him.
"I really am her master..." Dao Xuzi said again, trying to get Dabai’s attention, "Really, I’m very fond of tigers, truly..."
Xiaobai couldn’t bear to watch anymore, and simply turned its back, presenting its rear to him.
But suddenly, Dabai bellowed a roar.
Dao Xuzi immediately retreated several steps in fright.
"Master, it’s the king of the mountains, the Tiger King, not a madam or an animal trafficker..." Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but give Dao Xuzi a disdainful look, "Moreover, do you think taming those beasts is that easy? I don’t even know what to say to you..."
Dao Xuzi was at a loss for words, wanting to say more, but Yang Ruxin simply waved her hand, pointing to the colorful tiger Xiaolun had taken down, lying on the ground, "Let’s hurry up and take this guy down. Otherwise, once the medicinal effect wears off, it’ll be troublesome... It can’t have any more holes in it, or else the tiger skin will be ruined..."
Gu Yao nodded, "Right, besides, the scent of blood might attract other fierce animals, which would be a problem..."
