Chapter 160 [Follow me, and you'll live a life of luxury] (6400 words)
Chen Yan knelt down beside the large white cat.

It seemed relatively calm, letting Chen Yan stroke its soft belly. Only then did Chen Yan realize that although the creature's fur appeared snow-white and soft, it actually felt quite stiff, like a bristle brush.

On the lower left side of the abdomen, there was a gash, which was probably pierced by the fangs of a predator.

The wound resembled an open fish mouth, with the surrounding flesh torn open and fresh blood gushing out.

Chen Yan frowned deeply.

It was probably his fingers that touched it, and the big cat felt pain. Its body twitched, and it raised its head and growled at Chen Yan in dissatisfaction.

Chen Yan had no choice but to free one hand and gently stroke the big cat's head to soothe the creature's emotions.

Seeing the blood flowing and the big guy's spirits weakening, Chen Yan had no choice but to run back up the tree to get a climbing frame containing his supplies and equipment, and then run back to the big cat's side.

I pulled a sealed first-aid kit out of my backpack and tore it open.

Chen Yan used half a bottle of iodine to rinse the big cat's wound, and also sprinkled a bag of hemostatic powder on the wound. The big cat just panted and didn't move around, but just turned its head to look at its wound curiously.

The bleeding from the wound was slowed down by the hemostatic powder, but Chen Yan was still not entirely at ease—he couldn't be sure if the big cat's internal organs had been punctured.

So he still took out a White Bone Pill—because storage equipment couldn't be used in this place, Chen Yan had taken out several White Bone Pills before he came and put them in his backpack for his own use at any time.

He fed the big cat a White Bone Pill—getting this big guy to take the pill went very smoothly, as if the big cat obediently opened its mouth as soon as Chen Yan took out the pill.

This action immediately made Chen Yan realize: this big cat must have been raised by a human, and it had been given elixirs! That's why it wasn't resisting!

Chen Yan brought a first-aid kit containing simple tools for suturing wounds. He took out a needle and fishing line to stitch up the guy's wound.

His skills were naturally rough, and the wound was stitched up crookedly. After taking a look, the big cat let out a whimper that seemed to be dissatisfied, and then lay there motionless on its side.

After finishing everything, Chen Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Stopping the bleeding and suturing the wound is only to halt and slow down the cat's blood loss—the White Bone Elixir won't heal the injury instantly; it always takes some time.

"Alright, you definitely won't die." Chen Yan patted the big cat's neck.

He simply picked up the big cat and slowly walked to the rock, finding a sheltered spot.

Next, Chen Yan retrieved all his hiking backpacks from the tree and began cleaning up the mess.

Chen Yan dragged the two burned carcasses of hunting animals in the woods to the rocks, and gathered the carcasses of several other killed hunting animals together.

He even retrieved the axe.

He suddenly remembered the meat of the hunted beast, which could quickly restore his energy and resist the cold. Without hesitation, he picked up his axe, chopped off a beast's leg, and threw it next to the big cat.

After taking a look, the big cat seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the leg that was already frozen stiff.

Chen Yan stroked the big cat's head: "I know you like to eat soft offal, right? Since it's all frozen solid now, you can gnaw on a leg first. Later, I'll make a fire, dig out the offal and cook it until it's soft, then you can eat it."

After saying that, Chen Yan turned around and went to get busy, regardless of whether the big white cat understood him or not.

After a while, Chen Yan heard a gnawing sound. He turned his head and saw the big cat lying there, its paws pressing down on the hind legs of the prey and tearing at them.

·
The meat from the hunted beasts was all good stuff. Chen Yan skinned and dismembered the beasts, dividing their bodies into pieces.

He boiled snow in a pot to make water, and personally skinned the animals, removing two sets of what were considered complete animal hides. He also skinned the other dismembered animal hides, washed them with snow water, and then dried them by the fire.

The meat and bones were also separated; the bones were thrown aside, while the meat was buried in snow for storage.

During the packing process, Chen Yan dug out several tusks from the hunting beasts. Among them, the two tusks from the largest beast were the thickest, as thick as a human arm, and extremely hard. Chen Yan simply wrapped them up and put them in his backpack.

That night, Chen Yan also had a hearty meal of the hunted beast, and then crawled into his sleeping bag under the rocks and slept by the fire.

A few hours later, Chen Yan woke up to find something pressing down on him. When he opened his eyes, he saw a huge head in front of him.

The big white cat had somehow ended up fast asleep beside him, half of its body still pressed against his sleeping bag.

Chen Yan gave it a hard push, but the big guy was still snoring. He just opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Chen Yan, and then turned over and went back to sleep.

Chen Yan crawled out of his sleeping bag, and the omnipresent chill made him shiver instantly.

The fire had burned all night and had gone out; it was already ice-cold to the touch.

Chen Yan threw some branches to rekindle the fire, then boiled water and cooked some food. As a pot of meat soup boiled, the big cat woke up and immediately sat up, staring intently at the bubbling pot of meat.

Chen Yan gently pushed the big cat's head, then threw two slices of the prey's liver and a beast's heart into the meat.

The big cat was overjoyed and happily stuck out its tongue to gently lick Chen Yan's palm.

This big guy's tongue had some soft, barbs on it, and when it licked Chen Yan's hand, it gave him a faint, tingling sensation.

That is to say, it is affectionate towards people and does not exert force when licking. Otherwise, the barbs on its tongue would harden, and a single lick could scrape off a piece of flesh!
Chen Yan observed the large cat. After resting overnight, the White Bone Pill it had taken had clearly taken effect, and its spirits were noticeably much better.

I checked its wound again, and sure enough, it had begun to heal.

At this rate, it should recover to about 70-80% in about a day.

Seeing that the big cat had devoured the whole pot of meat he had worked so hard to cook all morning, Chen Yan couldn't help but sigh. He stroked the back of the cat's neck and whispered, "You must have lived with people before, right?"
"Have you ever had a master among humans? Or are you actually a demon cultivator who understands human nature?"

The big cat raised its head and looked at Chen Yan. A look of confusion appeared in its big, bell-like eyes. Then it lowered its head to lick a hind leg bone of a hunting beast in its hand.

“You actually wanted to save me yesterday, right? You saw me being attacked by those predators, and when I escaped to the rocks, you jumped down from the mountain to help me.” Chen Yan stroked the big cat, carefully examining the large creature, and grew to like it more and more the more he looked at it.

Few men can resist the temptation to tame a wild beast.

Due to legal restrictions, it is forbidden to tame wild beasts in the Dragon Kingdom, but many people still enjoy taming large dogs.

In some countries where this is legal, wealthy and powerful people often enjoy keeping animals like tigers.

This large white cat, with a size resembling both a tiger and a leopard, is likely some kind of feline.

Judging from its size, it should weigh over 100 kilograms, larger than a leopard but not as robust as a Siberian tiger.

It lacks some of the tiger's majestic and imposing presence, but possesses more of its agility and swiftness.

Its snow-white fur isn't actually a solid mass of white. If viewed from a certain angle, depending on the light, the white fur actually forms faint dark patterns.

Chen Yan spoke to the big cat for a while, but unfortunately the big guy couldn't speak. It was unclear whether he could understand what Chen Yan was saying. Most of the time, he just stared blankly at Chen Yan, letting him ramble on and on.

After talking for a while, Chen Yan gave up on continuing to communicate with this guy and could only smile wryly and say, "Alright, you helped me yesterday, and I helped you back. Now your injury is fine. If you want to leave, you can go now."

The big cat lay in the snow, just looking at Chen Yan, making soft whimpering sounds.

Chen Yan clapped his hands: "So you don't want to leave, right? Since you don't want to leave, then come with me, okay?"

As he spoke, he pointed to a snowdrift piled up beside him: "Yesterday we harvested the carcasses of six game animals. I was busy for a long time yesterday, and we got over a thousand pounds of meat from them alone."

"There's enough meat for us to eat for a long time. If you're willing to come with me, we'll eat and drink to our hearts' content! Meat at every meal!"

After saying that, Chen Yan pointed at the big cat: "If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes!"

The big cat opened its mouth wide and yawned.

Chen Yan beamed, "In that case, I'll have to give you a name from now on. Hmm, you're covered in white fur, so let's make you Bai (White) from now on."

After saying that, his gaze swept down to the area below the big cat's belly: "I saw you yesterday when I was treating your injuries. You're a tigress, so I'll name you... Little White Tiger?"

Snort!

The large white cat sneezed in its nose, clearly disliking the name.

Chen Yan laughed and said, "Yes, yes, this name is a bit unpleasant. Let's change it then. From now on, I'll call you Bai Miaomiao?"

Big Cat: "..."

"White woof?"

"..."

"Bai Hechou?"

"..."

"Plain water?"

"..."

"Bai Suzhen?"

"..."

Chen Yan sighed: "I don't like either of you, so how about I call you Big White then?"

As soon as the word "Big White" was uttered, the large white cat lying there suddenly stood up.

Chen Yan laughed: "You're reacting? Good, from now on I'll call you Da Bai."

As he spoke, he looked at the large white cat staring at him with wide eyes in confusion: "Big White... Big White... wait, could that really be your name?"

Big White had already walked up to Chen Yan and rubbed its head against his clothes.

"So you really are called Big White." Chen Yan sighed. "I wonder who your owner is. Did your owner abandon you? Or... has your owner already passed away?"

Da Bai didn't say anything, but just walked around Chen Yan and paced back and forth.

·
Chen Yan settled down temporarily under this rock—there were no caves nearby, so this was his only option.

However, he didn't mind too much, since he had a sleeping bag and his current constitution was quite resistant to the cold. After eating the meat of that hunted beast, he felt warm and comfortable all over, as if he were in a small furnace.

Chen Yan then picked up his axe and went back into the woods to cut down trees—they had discarded all the timber from the previous cave during the migration, and now they needed to cut down a new batch.

As he walked into the woods, the big cat strolled leisurely alongside him. While Chen Yan chopped wood, it would idly find a spot to lie down and rest. A thought struck Chen Yan!
Previously, this large white creature was observed to only move within the mountain ridge area and would never set foot into the forest.

But now that they've followed me, they're willing to walk into this strange forest?

·
As Chen Yan watched as Da Bai easily leaped onto the forked trunk of a strange tree and lay there, with only its tail dangling in mid-air, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Fortunately, it was the pack of predators that had been chasing him the day before, not this giant white beast. Otherwise, even if he had hidden in a tree, he wouldn't have been able to escape.

After chopping for a while and felling a strange tree, Chen Yan swung his axe again to chop off pieces of wood, then stuffed them into a backpack he had cleared out, filling the backpack to the brim.

The backpack was already full, and there was no way to bring back any more strange trees after cutting them down. For the next few days, Chen Yan simply took Da Bai and wandered around the neighborhood—treating it like exploring a map.

He managed to climb the ridge he was trying to reach, and with his superhuman physical abilities, he successfully reached the summit in just over half a day.

Looking down from the top of the mountain ridge, Chen Yan couldn't help but stare in disbelief.

To the west of the mountain ridge lies a vast forest of strange trees, shrouded in mist with no end in sight—and within it lies the village of the ferocious beast tribe.

To the east of the mountain ridge, everything was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to know what lay in the distance.

However, within this mountain ridge alone, there was no fog, only wind and snow, with the entire mountain covered in white snow.

It was as if the existence of this mountain ridge separated the misty world on both sides of the ridge, creating a clear distinction.

Chen Yan also wanted to search for the "mining area" he had heard about in the village of the ferocious beast tribe in the mountains, but he found nothing after walking for two days.

This mountain ridge is extremely large; if you look at it horizontally, you probably wouldn't see the end even after walking for several days. Chen Yan had no choice but to give up on the idea.

Although he was also curious about the beast tribe's "minerals," they were not a necessary target.

The big cat eats seven or eight pounds of meat a day, which is quite a large amount—a typical Siberian tiger only eats a dozen or so pounds of meat a day.

Fortunately, the carcasses of the six prey animals yielded a thousand pounds of meat, so there was no immediate shortage of food.

After spending a few days with Big White, the big guy and Chen Yan became increasingly close.

At first, Chen Yan had to climb over mountains by himself, with Da Bai following beside him. Chen Yan also tried to ride Da Bai, but Da Bai always struggled and dodged away in dissatisfaction.

It wasn't until the sixth day of Chen Yan's time travel that Da Bai finally allowed Chen Yan to ride on its back.

With Big White as his mount, Chen Yan found climbing the mountain ridge much easier. This guy was extremely strong, and even with Chen Yan on his back, he could still leap freely across the cliffs and rocks of the mountain ridge as if walking on flat ground!
Riding Big White made Chen Yan feel incredibly happy! Although the shape of a feline's spine is not actually suitable for riding, and riding on its back is extremely bumpy, Chen Yan didn't care about that at all.
Sitting on Big White's back, Big White carried him over mountains and across ridges. Chen Yan felt as if he were floating on clouds, so he simply shouted and yelled.

On the evening of the sixth day, Chen Yan checked his wristwatch and realized that he had less than four hours left before he was teleported back.

He started a fire at his makeshift camp under the rocks and held Big White right beside the fire.

Big White was warm all over, as if he were hugging a huge furnace, and he couldn't feel the cold air around him at all.

"Um, I have something to tell you. I'm leaving here."

"Woo~"

Da Bai seemed to sense something, turned its head to look at Chen Yan, and then stuck out its tongue and gently licked Chen Yan's hand.

"Would you like to leave this place with me and go to another world?"

Chen Yan looked at Da Bai.

Suddenly, Da Bai got up from the ground, took two steps back, and stood quietly in the snow, watching Chen Yan.

Chen Yan sighed, feeling somewhat disappointed.

"Don't you want to leave?" Chen Yan asked, looking at Da Bai.

Big White stood in the snow, and its figure slowly walked away a few steps, leaving several footprints like plum blossoms on the snow.

"After I leave, I will go to another world, where there is plenty of food and drink, and the climate is warm..."

"woo woo woo woo!"

Suddenly, Big White raised its head and let out a low howl towards the direction of the strange forest.

Although Chen Yan couldn't understand what it was saying, he vaguely sensed Da Bai's attitude: it didn't want to leave.

Chen Yan sighed. Although somewhat disappointed, it wasn't too serious. After all, it wasn't like he was leaving and never coming back.

"The meat was hidden in the snowdrifts; you've seen it all these past few days. After I leave, you can have all the meat. There are still seven or eight hundred pounds left, enough for you to eat for a long time."

Chen Yan walked over, squatted down, hugged Da Bai's neck, and rubbed its head vigorously: "You can live nearby. When you're hungry, you can dig out meat from the snowdrifts to eat. But remember, after you finish eating, you have to bury the rest back in the snow—just like I've been asking you to do these past few days."

Da Bai lowered its head and rubbed against Chen Yan's face.

"I'll be back in a few days... Well, you probably don't understand the meaning of 'heaven,' but that's okay. As long as you understand, I will definitely come back."

Chen Yan led Da Bai back to the rocks by the fire, held Da Bai in his arms and sat there warming himself by the fire, then cooked one last pot of hot meat for Da Bai.

After I leave, this guy'll probably be eating frozen meat...

Finally, a few hours later...

·
Chen Yan opened his eyes and woke up in his basement training room. After getting up from the floor, he stretched and moved his legs.

His winter clothes were stained and he smelled strongly of wild animals—all of which were the smells of Big White.

Chen Yan walked out of the training room, first went upstairs to take a shower and change clothes, then took out two cucumbers from the refrigerator, quickly washed them and started munching on them.

After eating the meat of hunted animals for several days, which was remarkably effective in replenishing energy and calories, he felt unbearably hot and restless after not having eaten a single vegetable or fruit.

The cucumber in his hand, which had been in the refrigerator for several days, was no longer fresh and was even a bit limp. But as Chen Yan ate it, he found it incredibly delicious.

After feeling better, Chen Yan returned to the bedroom, threw himself onto the bed, and fell fast asleep.

He spent seven days in the realm, enduring wind and rain, sleeping outdoors. Although he slept every day, how could he truly rest well in such harsh conditions?

Persisting for seven days was actually a testament to my extraordinary physical strength.

He slept for a full fourteen hours, and woke up again at two o'clock in the morning.

Chen Yan jumped out of bed with a somersault. He had planned to go to the training room after waking up to sort out the things he had gained from this trip to the other world. He should have collected most of the wood from those strange trees. He figured that the harvest from another trip would be enough to replace the spirit-gathering array in the courtyard.

Besides timber, they also brought back some other things: two pieces of game meat, weighing a full ten pounds.

There were also a few fangs of hunting beasts.

However, after glancing at his phone, Chen Yan abandoned the idea of ​​packing his things.

On the phone, there were several missed calls: two from Chu Keqing and three from his girlfriend Lu Sisi.

In addition, seven of the missed calls were from the internet cafe owner.

Chen Yan's heart stirred.

The internet cafe owner hadn't contacted me for a while, but I didn't know why she suddenly called me so many times. What happened to her?

He picked up his phone to make the call, but then put it down again.

After glancing at the time, I simply changed my clothes, grabbed my car keys, and headed out.

While driving his Mercedes-Benz, Chen Yan suddenly remembered that the G-Class he had ordered should have arrived by now. He had been out cutting down trees in the Territory these past few days, so the salesperson at the dealership probably couldn't reach him. He could pick up the car today.

The car traveled through the streets of Jinling Prefecture at night. The roads were deserted and the journey was smooth. In no time, the car arrived near the university town.

Chen Yan drove his car to the side of the road near the Extreme Internet Cafe, parked it, got out, locked the door, and then went inside.

·
Pushing open the door, you're greeted by that all-too-familiar atmosphere.

The air was filled with the smell of cigarettes mixed with instant noodles, and all you could hear were the sounds of keyboards and shouts like "Top laner!" and "Damn it, jungler, where are you?"

The huge internet cafe was only about a third full, but the lively atmosphere filled everyone's hearts.

Chen Yan saw the proprietress sitting behind the counter, dozing off with her eyes half-closed, while a popular variety show was playing on the computer screen in front of her.

Chen Yan walked over with a smile, tapped on the counter, and deliberately raised his voice to say, "Boss lady, overnight!"

“…!!”

The proprietress opened her eyes with a start, and after seeing Chen Yan standing in front of her, she subconsciously rolled her eyes and sighed, "Oh dear, the reclusive tycoon is here incognito again? Coming here to enjoy the company of the common people?"

Hmm, she can still joke around. It seems this woman isn't facing any emergency... Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Yan was unaware that the street had been bought. He assumed the landlady was still talking about the rent from last time, so he laughed and said, "Turn on the machine for me, and another bowl of noodles—you have to make them yourself! With braised eggs, two of them! You have to peel them yourself!"

"Want another packet of rat poison? I added it myself!" the proprietress retorted irritably.

Then he walked out, went around the counter, and grabbed Chen Yan's arm: "Don't rush to go online, I have something to tell you!"

"Just tell me."

The proprietress looked around and said, "Don't talk here. Come with me."

As she spoke, she pointed to the stairs: "Let's talk upstairs."

"Where's the noodles? I just woke up and I'm still hungry."

"Oh, I'll bring it to you in a bit! You go upstairs first and wait for me in my room!"

Chen Yan was taken aback, then laughed, "Go to your room? That... isn't that inappropriate? I'm here for the whole night, not for the whole night~."

"..." The proprietress gave the guy a complicated look, spat, and pushed him forcefully toward the stairs. She turned around, her pretty face slightly flushed.
