1721 Moving Along (1/2)

”Liancheng! Xiaoman! The two of you are God-Ascension level elites. Why are you so surprised?” Chen Xiaobei asked as he hung up the call.

The 20-meter tall Giant Barbaric Tiger walked to the tree and lowered its head to let Chen Xiaobei down, which was at Ao Liancheng and Su Xiaoman's standing height.

Ao Liancheng inhaled sharply as he struggled to find the words. ”Even a Primordial Spirit cultivation Earth-God would find it hard to believe… A formidable Giant Barbaric Tiger lets you stand on its head… Zhufeng! You are phenomenal!”

Su Xiaoman raised her little hands to her eyes and rubbed them. She sounded very uncertain as she asked her companions, ”Am I dreaming? Childe Chen… You… You've actually subdued a Giant Barbaric Tiger?”

”This is not a dream!” Chen Xiaobei shrugged. ”This is just a really big cat. It's not that difficult to tame!”

Su Xiaoman's mouth fell open. ”That's our Divine Tiger faction's dream! Everyone from the faction leader to the disciples had set their sights on this impossible task but no one has been able to do it since our ancestors… If our people were to find out about this, they would all go crazy!”

Chen Xiaobei shook his head. ”Please keep this a secret for me. I don't wish for anyone to find out that I've subdued a Giant Barbaric Tiger yet!”

”I… I will…” Su Xiaoman nodded, a questioning look in her eyes. ”But… Childe Chen, can you tell us how you did it?”

Ao Liancheng nodded eagerly. ”Yeah! How did you subdue this super beast?”

Chen Xiaobei shrugged. ”Remember how it was injured earlier? I gave it some healing medication, reasoned with it and appealed to its emotions! As its wounds began to heal, as an act of gratitude, it willingly submitted itself to be my Spirit Beast!”

”That's impossible…” Su Xiaoman did not believe him. ”In our experience, the tiger finds humans very repulsive! It won't even allow you to get near it, much less eat the pills you give it!”

Maybe I'm different from a normal human.” Chen Xiaobei answered calmly.

”Then when did you enter the cave?” Ao Liancheng asked. ”Xiaoman and I have been watching the entrance but we never saw you enter!”

”Oh, I'm pretty fast. Maybe that's why you didn't see me.” Chen Xiaobei answered.

”No…” Ao Liancheng rubbed his chin doubtfully. ”At our cultivation, even if Xiaoman and I could not see you, we would've at least sensed something…”

There was only one explanation for this – Chen Xiaobei had used a High-tier Prosperous Monkey Fur to turn himself into a flying insect, allowing him to enter the cave undetected.

In their conversation over the phone earlier, Chen Xiaobei had again confirmed with Ao Liancheng that the Giant Barbaric Tiger was not an actual Earth-God, and did not possess the Primordial Spirit.

The severely wounded tiger did not notice the little insect Chen Xiaobei entering the cave.

All he needed to complete the task was to give it a Heavenly Dog Biscuit!

The biscuits were ineffective on Earth-Gods but since the tiger was not an Earth-God, the master-slave acknowledgment process went smoothly.

That was why Chen Xiaobei was allowed to stand on the tiger's head as they exited the cave.

However, this whole process involved too many secrets and Chen Xiaobei had to keep mum in providing the details.
