Translator: Tamon Translation Checker: Silavin An eerie energy washed over the temple as a large black tiger stomped inside. Ling Bao’er discovered, to her shock, there was not a trace of the black tiger’s frightening aura reaching her as she stood by her master’s side. “Cat, aren’t you intruding?” Chen Changan spoke to the demon tiger. The tiger’s wild glare landed on Chen Changan and Ling Bao’er, determined to draw blood. He saw tonight how an immortal treasure fell and raced out of the depth of Myriad Mountains to find it. All his frantic search throughout this mountain had netted him not even a trace of the immortal treasure. That meant the treasure did not fall on the mountain. “Beggars are bitter, while cultivator flesh is sweet and tasty.” The demon tiger growled in human speech, closing in. Chen Changan curled his lips in disdain, [Philistine fleabag, can’t you see there’s one with the Eternal Body here?] There were two people in the temple, a beggar with not a trace of cultivation, a bug for all the beast cared, and a female cultivator of minute strength. One paw swipe ought to do it. Licking its lips, it had long since starved for flesh from a man in his prime. Chen Changan grinned without fear. [Since the demon tiger offered himself, I won’t refuse the free domain points, plus the free meal.] He’d yet to sample tiger meat. Chen Changan liked his lips, reaching out with his right and taunting the tiger to come get him by hooking his index finger. “Come on over, you oversized cat.” Roar~ The demon tiger growled at Chen Chang’an. [A rotten beggar dares taunt me? You’re dead!] Chen Changan smiled at the enraged tiger, his aim achieved. The demon tiger bared its fangs and pounced. A large shadow loomed over Chen Changan and Ling Bao’er. Chen Changan merely beamed while Ling Bao’er was ashen, focusing her spiritual power to fight back against the tiger. It was then the demon tiger entered the Absolute Domain. It never felt such dreadful power in its life. It was as if a mountain had been slammed on his spine. Before Chen Changan, he found himself as tiny and insignificant as a bug. Chen Changan could do it in with a mere pinch. The violent demon tiger almost wet itself in terror and horror. It then found an even worse truth. It couldn’t move! “Disciple.” “Uh, master.” Ling Bao’er snapped back from the shock of seeing the frozen tiger, having not even seen Chen Changan do anything. [What just happened? The demon tiger just froze!] The dreadful power moved with Chen Changan’s will, over the tiger. That was why the girl felt nothing out of place. Chen Changan stood straight with hands behind his back, the picture of grandeur. “Kill the cat.” Ling Bao’er nodded. She cheered inside, [Taking him as master was the best idea ever. Master is so strong to pin down the savage demon tiger like nothing.] Ling Bao’er eagerly took out a brand new sword from her storage ring, giddy as she slashed at the tiger. She never got to kill a Golden Core demon before. She swore to hold onto her master for her dear life! The tiger was terrified, unable to even speak as the sword came and let out sparks on contact. Ling Bao’er’s sword couldn’t harm the tiger, let alone kill it. Glancing at the sword, she noticed it was chipped. “Ugh…” Ling Bao’er blushed harder than a tomato. [I made such a fool of myself before master, I am unable to kill even a demon.] “Master, the tiger’s cultivation is far above mine. His body is too tough for me to killaw it.” Chen Chang’an sighed. [This apprentice is kinda weak.] “Give me your sword.” Ling Bao’er handed it over. The demon tiger still couldn’t budge, feeling nothing but fear and despair. [Heavens, who the hell is this beggar? He’s scary! He’s horrifying!] Chen Changan made a casual strike at the tiger. The sword looked to have endless power as it fell. The tiger had one thought on his mind, [I’m done for!] as its world went black. Chen Changan killed the tiger then threw the sword back to Ling Bao’er. Ling Bao’er held it with a dumb look. She looked silly with that naive face, looking from the sword to demon tiger now split in two. [A Golden Core demon got killed by just one strike from master?] Chen Chang’an yawned, feeling tired after such an eventful evening. “Disciple, do you know how to butcher?” Ling Bao’er nodded, “Yes, master.” “I’m feeling sleepy. You handle the tiger body just like you’d do it with a pig.” Ling Bao’er lit up. The demon tiger was at Golden Core and its meat had to contain so much refined energy. It was a great tonic for cultivators. [Especially since this particular Golden Core demon passed its third heavenly tribulation.] Even as Nine Swords Sect Leader’s daughter, Ling Bao’er only got to taste such delicacy once in her life. Golden Core demons were notoriously hard to kill. “Yes, master.” “Don’t forget to take the tiger’s thingy. That’s treasure, so don’t go throwing it away.” Ling Bao’er blushed hard, lowering her head, “Yeah… master.” Peeking at Chen Changan, she could never find the courage to ask what use he’d have for something like that.
