Chapter 400
Cao Zhen heard Bei Yan and Duo Duo mentioning that they'd encountered a White Tiger, not an ordinary tiger, but rather one of the Four Holy Beasts.
However, the White Tiger managed to fool them twice and escaped both times.
Naturally, he also wanted to capture such a White Tiger and bring it back to the Hundred Peaks Sect as the Protector Beast of the Sect, but he couldn't, so he could only be envious.
As it turned out, this White Tiger was actually with Xiang Ziyu. What was going on here?
It seemed that both the White Tiger and Xiang Ziyu had obvious injuries.
Xiang Ziyu's physical body was not much weaker than his, and this was a White Tiger; even if it hadn't matured, it was still one of the Four Holy Beasts, with certainly a terrifying physical body.
How could the two of them be injured?
Could it be that this man and tiger had just fought a fierce battle?
In his sight, Xiang Ziyu took two steps and suddenly pressed the body of the White Tiger, then, with a strong push of both arms, tried to mount the White Tiger.
Feeling Xiang Ziyu's power, the White Tiger's body shook violently, rendering Xiang Ziyu's efforts fruitless, preventing him from mounting the White Tiger.
Then, panting heavily, a cruel light emanated from its pair of tiger eyes, as if it wanted to devour Xiang Ziyu alive.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xiang Ziyu seemed oblivious to the anger in the White Tiger's gaze, instead looking discontentedly at the White Tiger as he shouted, "What are you looking at? What's wrong with me riding you? If it weren't for me, you'd already be dead.
Now, we're both injured, let's find a place to heal first. You have four legs and can run away, I need to ride you to leave quickly, is there any problem?"
Saying this, Xiang Ziyu once more reached out his hand toward the White Tiger.
The next instant, the White Tiger abruptly opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and let out a growl full of warning.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to get more people to notice us? Is that it?" Xiang Ziyu glared at the White Tiger and shouted irritably, "And why did you open your mouth? Are you trying to bite me?
This is dangerous; do you know who I am? I…"
Before he could finish, the White Tiger interrupted him angrily: "I don't know who you are, but you must know I'm the Sacred Beast White Tiger!
How dare you ride me? Riding me is an insult to the Sacred Beast White Tiger, even to all Four Holy Beasts! You are asking for death!"
Its pride would never allow a human to ride it, let alone such a minor person from the Immortal Path Domain.
Cao Zhen listened to the White Tiger's voice, somehow finding it sharp and feminine, like a woman's voice.
So, it's a tigress?
No wonder the White Tiger didn't let Xiang Ziyu ride it; is that something you can casually ride?
Xiang Ziyu was stunned to hear the White Tiger speak, instinctively saying, "So you can talk!"
This was the first time the White Tiger spoke in front of him.
"Nonsense, I am equivalent to your human Immortal Realm existence, of course, I can talk." The White Tiger's voice was filled with disdain, its gaze at Xiang Ziyu gave the impression it was pitying someone with intellectual problems.
Cao Zhen, bewildered by the White Tiger's tone and the rolling of its eyes, couldn't help but think the White Tiger was giving Xiang Ziyu an incredulous look.
"I know Strange Beasts can speak after reaching the Earth Immortal Realm. But since you've kept silent all this time, I thought you were mute." Xiang Ziyu, feeling affronted by the disdain of a Strange Beast, was indignant; a Sacred Beast is also a Strange Beast, and he, as the leading character, could not accept being disdained by a Strange Beast.
The White Tiger went wild, swinging its massive claws in front of Xiang Ziyu as a threat: "I am a Sacred Beast; I repeat, Sacred Beast White Tiger. Am I mute? You are insulting the Sacred Beast again; you're dead!"
"No, you're in danger. You're the Four Holy Beasts? Do you know who I am? I am the main character, the one and only main character in the Universe!" Xiang Ziyu spoke with such an overwhelming presence, looking at the White Tiger with extraordinary confidence as he said, "As the main character, my mount is destined to be at least of the Four Holy Beasts level.
Meeting me is your good luck, and you don't treasure it. I tell you, not everyone can be a mount for the main character."
Saying this, Xiang Ziyu again raised his hand to press down on the White Tiger, seemingly intending to use force to subdue it.
The White Tiger roared defiantly, furiously twisting its body, refusing to let Xiang Ziyu mount it.
One man and one tiger remained at an impasse.
Cao Zhen finally couldn't stand it and sent a message to Xiang Ziyu: "Zi Yu, wait a moment, stop trying to ride the White Tiger, what's happening here?"
"Master? How did you suddenly contact me?" Xiang Ziyu was slightly stunned, his master rarely contacted him without reason.
Moreover, he had mentioned to his master that he was the main character and wanted to forge his own path without being disturbed during his adventures.
"Because I, as your master, am also in the River of All Realms, and I previously contacted your other senior sisters, junior brothers, and junior sisters." Cao Zhen continued to inquire, "What's going on with this White Tiger?"
Xiang Ziyu casually replied in his mind: "You ask about the White Tiger? Not much, earlier I entered the Blood Toad Clan's territory and obtained a treasure, while this White Tiger retrieved a treasure from the Giant Frog Clan.
