The girl, Zhou Yu, had a quiet and serene lookone that didnt match her ageon her face.

I just thought of coming over. Sorry to disturb you, Big Sister Mei Ji.

After giving a calm and serene response, she walked over and s.h.i.+fted the rock aside. Then, she took out some posters, news articles, and photographs and started to look at them quietly.

Moonlight spilled down from above onto the little girl, making her seem even lonelier.

It was a kind of loneliness that one would think she had been abandoned by everything in the world.

Mei Ji narrowed her eyes. A chilly look flashed across her countenance, though she ultimately still chose to pretend as if nothing had happened. She didnt say anything but continued to conceal herself as she stood under the moonlight with the girl.

After some time, the girls dejected voice suddenly rang out. Big Sister Mei Ji, Im going to the Western College of Martial Arts.

Mei Ji looked at her and asked aloofly, Is it your parents again?

The girl stayed quiet. Mei Ji snorted coldly inwardly. After interacting with her for a few years, Mei Ji had naturally already come to know and understand a lot of things about her.

Apart from her parents, who else could make such an amazingly talented, emotionally tough, and exceptionally smart little girl behave like this?

However, the humans had a saying that made sense: Not even good officials could settle family troubles.

They were her parents that had given birth to her and raised her.

No matter how poorly they treated her, as long as it didnt go beyond a certain threshold, how could outsiders possibly interfere?

She lifted her eyes a little unhappily and looked at the bright moon, choosing to remain quiet.

The girl didnt say anything either. She merely stared blankly at a photographone of an enormous tigerin her hand.

After some time, her dispirited voice rang out once more. Hes ultimately my father that gave me life and raised me. He had doted on me when I was young.

She sounded as if she was talking to Mei Ji, yet it was also as if she was talking to herself. She looked very serious.

After a moments pause, she added in a murmur, Who else would I be left with if I lose even them?

Mei Jis gaze flicked toward her. After casting the girl a glance, her gaze s.h.i.+fted to the moon again. She didnt say anything. Neither did she know what she should say.

She didnt know how to console others.

Besides, the little girl didnt need anyones consolation either.

In that young heart of hers, she was someone that very much had views of her own.

True enough, a short while later, there was no longer any desolation or sadness on the girls countenance, and she resumed her usual bright and cheerful demeanor.

She put the posters and photographs away properly. Then, she said with a smile, Ive been a bother for coming over so late at night, Big Sister Mei Ji.

Mei Ji didnt say anything.

The girl wasnt bothered. She understood Mei Ji very well; Mei Ji was cold on the outside but softhearted inside. She bowed slightly to express her grat.i.tude.

Ill make a move first, Big Sister Mei Ji.

She waved at her and started to walk back home.

It was only after Mei Ji waited until the familiar figure disappeared that she turned around and took a look. Then, she vanished from sight.

In the Tiger Kings Cave

Joyous news came one after another. During the two months after Ling Shuang and Jun Wens breakthroughs, at last, the third person that would soon break through suddenly appeared.

She was none other than Su Ling.

On this day, w.a.n.g Hu sat in the hall and watched the cowardly fox who was trying her best to keep her emotions under control. In spite of that, her expression was nevertheless filled with delight and smugness. She was just short of openly saying quick, praise me. w.a.n.g Hu was rather amused by the sight.

The cowardly fox was about to break through!

Even though he hadnt really seen her cultivating that diligently, she was actually about to break through.

Yet, that was exactly what was happening. The cowardly fox was indeed about to break through.

He could tell that the aura within the cowardly foxs body was currently giving off a unique wave of energy fluctuation. This was a sign that one was about to break through.

Her speed!

One could only say that the second-generation rich simply had it easy. Moreover, the cowardly fox wasnt even ones typical second-generation rich.

Even if she wasnt a second-generation rich of the highest cla.s.s, she was still undoubtedly one of the really powerful ones.

w.a.n.g Hu cast a glance at the area outside the cave. If Old Second and Old Third knew that the cowardly fox was about to break through

It was likely that even Old Second wouldnt be able to sit still anymore.

As he thought about it, he also found it rather funny.

However, this situation was instead one that he was happy to see.

It was only right that the Tiger Kings Cave be a place filled with compet.i.tion.

He would spread the news later. Now that even the cowardly fox was about to break through, how would the other animals possibly not cultivate and attempt to break through as if their lives depended on it?

His lip corners curled upward slightly, and he placidly praised her, You did pretty well. Keep up the good work.

Su Ling, who had transformed into her Dao form, had a big smile on her stunning visage.

While nodding repeatedly, she said with some slight smugness and hope, My lord, Im going into seclusion to break through very soon. What kind of rewards will I get?

w.a.n.g Hus eyelid twitched. That cowardly fox was really someone that forgot her place the moment she became smug. She was even using the p.r.o.noun I instead of this subordinate. On top of that, she even had the guts to straight-up ask him for rewards.

His expression turned into one of displeasure, and he scoffed sternly, Rewards are only given to the first two. Youre the third one, yet youre asking to be rewarded?

Hurry up and break through instead. If you fail hmph.

He let out a loud and cold snort, causing the cowardly fox to instinctively s.h.i.+ver all over. A great half of her smugness disappeared and turned into dejection. Then, she lowered her head and answered with disappointment, Yes, my lord.

As though she had wilted, she walked back to her place of residence, terribly disappointed.

w.a.n.g Hu secretly shook his head and started to reflect upon his actions. Had he ultimately still been too lenient on the cowardly fox after all?

From back then all the way to the present, why did it feel like that cowardly fox hadnt changed at all?

Not only did she have all sorts of little ideas in her head, but she was also timid, afraid of trouble, and a huge chicken. On top of that, she even easily got carried away.

It looked like he would have to be stricter on her in the future. It was time that he properly disciplined her.

Or perhaps he should let Silly Girl do it instead? That cowardly fox feared Silly Girl the most.

w.a.n.g Hu temporarily suppressed the thought. Then, he started to spread the news that the cowardly fox was about to break through.

True enough, the tense and compet.i.tive atmosphere in the Tiger Kings Cave became even more intense.

All the numerous peak-level Second Realm animals gritted their teeth and swore to break through to the Third Realm as soon as possible.

Even w.a.n.g Liang couldnt sit still anymore and developed an urge to go into seclusion and refuse to come out until he broke through.

The news of the cowardly fox breaking through soon had simply brought them even more shock and pressure than the news of Ling Shuang and Jun Wen breaking through.

After all, all of them knew what Ling Shuang and Jun Wen were like.

They had always been faintly a step further than everyone else. Although the animals were astonished that they were the first and second to break through, they were nevertheless able to accept it.

However, what kind of person was Su Ling?

All the animals also knew very well what she was like. Yet, that fox was actually going to break through soon!

She was breaking through earlier than all of them. They simply couldnt accept this.

w.a.n.g Liang and w.a.n.g Shan were all the more so.

For a while, it became rare to catch sight of the peak-level Second Realm animals.

More than ten days later, a Third Realm aura started to spread in the Tiger Kings Cave, which alarmed w.a.n.g Hu and Di Baijun.

w.a.n.g Hu smiled and remarked fairly approvingly, Not bad. Her bloodline has leveled up and evolved further. On top of that, she even underwent eight rounds of metamorphosis. Apart from you and I, theres probably no one in the whole of the Tiger Kings Cave that can surpa.s.s her.

Di Baijun raised her slim brows slightly and scoffed fairly disdainfully, Given her personality, shes still a useless piece of trash even if she goes through eight rounds of metamorphosis.

The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox bloodline is really such a waste on her.

As she spoke, a feeling as though she found the matter such a pity even crept into her voice.

The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox bloodline? w.a.n.g Hus gaze s.h.i.+fted slightly as he looked at Silly Girl.

Di Baijun nodded slightly. She sounded regretful as she said, Its a type of top-cla.s.s bloodline. The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox bloodline in that trash of a fox hasnt completely awakened yet.

If she can fully awaken the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox bloodline, she wont be the least bit inferior to most White Tigers, True Dragons, and True Phoenixes.

w.a.n.g Hu nodded. At once, he also found it quite a pity.

That was such an impressive bloodline. Had Old Third or the others been the ones with it instead, an expert that could undertake responsibilities by themselves would have appeared in the Tiger Kings Cave very soon.

Yet, it had appeared in the cowardly fox, of all people. w.a.n.g Hu didnt even dare to pin any hope of having her become an expert that could undertake responsibilities by themselves on her.

He sighed softly. That was really such a pity.

The more he thought about it, the unhappier he became. What a pity this was.

It was all that cowardly foxs fault.

He glanced at Silly Girl, who was just as unhappy, out of the corner of his eye. A look flashed across his eyes, and he said contemplatively, Since a bloodline like that exists within the Tiger Kings Cave, then we mustnt let it go to waste.

How about this? Ill bring her around with me in the future and temper her endurance. How does that sound?

It just so happens that she can also handle some trivial matters for me. Its just like the secretaries in the human world.

Di Baijun originally didnt think much of it. However, when she heard the word secretary, alarm bells rang in her head.

The words that she had seen on the Internet surfaced in her mind.

She turned to w.a.n.g Hu and saw that he was still lost in his thoughts. It seemed like he was contemplating the issue.

She thought of the rumors about the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, upon which a fierce look flashed across her eyes. Then, she said serenely, We certainly shouldnt let a bloodline like that go to waste. Let me train her instead.

You? Didnt you dislike Su Ling, Baijun? asked a somewhat surprised w.a.n.g Hu.

Although I dislike her, shes ultimately still a subordinate of the Tiger Kings Cave. Im the one that shes embarra.s.sing if shes too useless, replied Di Baijun haughtily.

w.a.n.g Hu didnt agree with it. Instead, he seemed rather hesitant.

Di Baijuns eyes narrowed slightly. She asked dispa.s.sionately, Whats the matter? Is there a problem?

w.a.n.g Hu sighed softly and replied, Su Ling is very timid. Im worried that itll turn out badly if youre too strict with her.

Di Baijun raised an eyebrow. Her voice turned cold. Whats wrong with me being strict with her? If Im not strict with her, how am I going to train her?

What is it? Is your heart aching?

w.a.n.g Hu reacted as though Di Baijuns words had shocked him. Then, he faced her honestly and openly. He looked at her dryly, and thenas though he had been rendered speechlesssaid, Alright, my heart is indeed aching. My heart aches at the thought of you worrying too much about this. Moreover, that cowardly fox is a disappointing one that doesnt live up to expectations, which ends up causing my precious wife to tire herself out.

The look in Di Baijuns eyes softened a little, and she said proudly, Im just training a fox. No matter how much of a disappointing one she is, Ill still be able to train her into someone capable. Whats there to worry about?

Alright, then. I await the fruits of your labor, an amused w.a.n.g Hu said.

Di Baijun snorted lightly as though she was saying just wait and see.

w.a.n.g Hu didnt say any more. He glanced in the direction of the cowardly foxs room and silently gave her his blessings.

Lets hope that you can become someone capable. Ive already done everything I can for you.

A while later, w.a.n.g Hu and Di Baijun arrived at the hall and summoned Su Ling, who had just broken through.

She wore a pale yellow gauze outer robe and a white inner robe and looked rather quaint.

Her stunning and flawless appearance was very beautiful.

There was even a sense of natural charm and innocence of the highest quality around her, causing mens gazes to converge onto her without themselves even realizing it.

Her every little action and every slightest facial expression carried an infinite amount of charm.

Even w.a.n.g Hus gaze lingered on Su Ling for a moment longer without him even realizing the matter. He was fairly surprised.

Even though the cowardly foxs appearance was the same as when she had still been in the Second Realm, the feeling that she gave him then and now was utterly different.

As though one was the clouds and the other was mud, there was no comparability between the two at all.

She was as if a piece of rotten wood back then, whereas she was now a piece of beautiful jade.

She was astonis.h.i.+ngly charming.

However, after being with Silly Girl for such a long time, w.a.n.g Hus immunity to beauty had already reached a level that was hard for even one to imagine.

He instantly recovered a moment later.

Even Di Baijun, who had been secretly observing him the whole time, didnt realize anything. She was fairly satisfied.

Her gaze s.h.i.+fted to Su Ling and sized the fox up a little.

She didnt feel anything about the foxs beauty, though. She had never been one to care about whether a woman was beautiful or not.

In the past, she had never taken any notice.

Ever since the rascal came into her life, even though she had started to take a little more notice, she was nevertheless confident enough in herself.

She proudly overlooked everyone from high up above.

With regard to this, w.a.n.g Hu held the biggest say.

His Silly Girls arrogance reached all the way from her soul into her bones.

If one really had to put it into words, then it would be like this: Im the most beautiful in the world. No one can compare to me. Everyone else is a lousy piece of trash.

Silly Girl herself didnt think that way, but that was simply the mindset that she held.

It was precisely because of that arrogant mindset of hers that she would never care about whether other women were beautiful or not.

She straight-up overlooked them from above.

It was just like how w.a.n.g Hus current level of combat power and invincibility made him view every other cultivator on Earthincluding Zhu Hongming and Liu Jixiuwith a high and mighty att.i.tude, such that he would never compare himself with them.

As for the fact that Silly Girl was awfully wary of beautiful women going near him

It had never been because she was worried that those beautiful women would take her place.

She was purely just being territorial.

One could only put it this way: tigresses were simply so bossy and domineering.

What was hers could only be hers. No one was allowed to take even the slightest bit away. No, it was more like no one was allowed to even touch it at all.

Greetings to the King and the Queen, Su Ling said with a bow as she took a look at that person out of the corner of her eye. She suppressed her delight and tried her best to show how calm and steady she was.

Not bad, I suppose. You werent completely useless after all, w.a.n.g Hu spoke first.

Su Ling felt rather aggrieved. Which part of her was useless?

Out of the first ten to break through that the demon lord had specified, she had even been the third to break through.

Wasnt she just a teeny-weeny bit timid? Wasnt it very normal for foxes to be a little timider than most?

That loathsome demon lord

She thought to herself. On the surface, however, she kept her head lowered and refrained from revealing even a hint of grievance. She remained standing like she was in a well-behaved manner and listened.

In the end, she even said primly, This subordinate has disappointed the King and the Queen in the past. This subordinate will definitely work even harder in the future and will not disappoint the King and the Queen ever again.

w.a.n.g Hu nodded slightly. He didnt take her words seriously, though. In front of Silly Girl, that cowardly fox had always been quite the actress.

He said serenely, Its good that youre being so thoughtful. How about this? From now on, youll stay by the Queens side. The Queen will guide you well. That way, your talent wont go to waste.

Su Ling was stunned. At once, she raised her head and looked at the demon lord before she then looked at the vicious tigress. She wanted to object, yet she simply couldnt say anything despite the words being right on the tip of her tongue.

What is it? Are you unhappy about it? Di Baijuns aloof and indifferent voice rang out.

Su Ling s.h.i.+vered and hastily lowered her head again. She felt as if there was no longer any hope in her future. A wave of dizziness even came over her, yet she replied very smoothly, No, this subordinate is very honored.

A faint hint of a smile surfaced at the corners of w.a.n.g Hus lips. That cowardly fox

Shes still as cowardly as ever.

Then, he said dispa.s.sionately, Its good that you feel honored. Since the Queen is willing to personally guide you, then you must cherish the opportunity. Do you understand?

Yes, Su Ling, who felt like crying, replied. At last, she mustered the courage to defeat her mouths instinct, and she asked cautiously, My lord, what about the things that this subordinate has been in charge of?

You can just put them aside if its possible. Its not like youre the only one that can do it, replied w.a.n.g Hu calmly.

Su Ling was in utter despair.

Di Baijun spoke at this point. In a tone that brooked no dispute, she said, Youve just broken through, so Ill give you three days to stabilize your cultivation. Three days later, Ill personally guide you.

Thank you, my Queen, Su Lings mouth automatically replied smoothly again.

You may go. w.a.n.g Hu waved.
