20: Chapter 20: Stroke the White Tiger 2 20: Chapter 20: Stroke the White Tiger 2 Editor: Henyee Translations “Aah~” She let out an excited yell.
Any semblance of dignity vanished in an instant, thrown to the winds by Su Tang!
She was enthusiastically rubbing and caressing the giant head of the tiger in her arms!
It felt even better than she had imagined!
She decided to try and tease it like a pet dog, scratching beneath the tiger’s chin.
The tiger seemed rather pleased, squinting its eyes and letting out a ‘purring’ sound.
After a while——
Su Tang slowly regained her senses, pulled back her ‘guilty’ little hands, and awkwardly coughed a couple of times.
The tiger swished its tail, seemingly dissatisfied.
“Do you want me to ride on your back?” Su Tang cautiously asked, but in her voice there was still a tinge of excitement!
“Roar!” Gaiyin let out a low growl.
Understanding its meaning, Su Tang happily trotted around to the side of the white tiger, only to realise——
It wasn’t her legs that were too short, the tiger was just too tall and sturdy!
She turned a slightly accusing gaze towards the tiger and whimpered, “Gaiyin, I can’t get up on your back~”
The tiger looked back, glanced at Su Tang’s height, then at its own, then after a pause, it wisely curled up and lay down on the ground.
Su Tang felt her face go red with embarrassment!
She hadn’t misunderstood!
The smelly tiger was laughing at her for being too short!
So that’s how it was going to be, huh?!
Angrily, she climbed onto the tiger’s back, grasping the fur on either side of its neck to stabilise herself!
But as it stood, Su Tang wobbled precariously, almost falling off!
With a start, she decided to abandon any formality, instead lying down on the tiger’s back, her entire body practically glued onto its luxurious fur!
Now, this was much better!
The tiger’s running was surprisingly smooth, without jostling her, so nestled in its soft fur, it was quite comfortable!
Just as Su Tang was about to drift off to sleep, the tiger finally stopped.
“Roar!” Su, we’re here!
Su Tang jolted awake at the sight of an enormous Bupleurum herb in front of her, her sleepiness gone in an instant!
She slid off the tiger’s back and approached the humongous plant in disbelief.
She couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow~ Is this really the Bupleurum herb I know?
It’s so big?”
From her memory, whenever a kid was sick with a fever in the orphanage and there was no medicine, the Orphanage Mom would lead her up the mountain to find Bupleurum herbs.
The Orphanage Mom was a skilled doctor of traditional Chinese medicine; Su Tang learned all she knew about herbal medicine from her!
The Bupleurum herbs from her memory were only about half a meter tall at most, and the smallest one was barely a little over 20 centimeters.
But the one in front of her was almost as big as a small tree!
It was over two meters tall, and if it hadn’t been for the familiar blossoms and smell, she would have doubted whether it was the Bupleurum herb at all!
Could it be a mutant strain of the herb?
Gaiyin, in his human form, came over to the stupefied Su Tang and asked, “Is this it?”
Su Tang started to question herself.
“I…
uh, wait a second, I should confirm it first.
After all, this herb will be used for medical treatment – doesn’t pay to be careless!”
As for how to confirm——
Of course, ask the System!
Su Tang: Calling 007 System!
Can you tell me if that’s a Bupleurum herb?
