The more you believe me, the more real it becomes.

Chapter 142: Cowardly and wicked, utterly ridiculous.
'Good heavens, it's not just a scout piece. Looks like it has some background!'

This discovery made Du Yuan very happy.

If you were at your peak, I might actually be a little at a loss.

But you only have a few fragments here to hold up the scene, do you think I'm afraid of you?

These days, it's really rare to see someone who has status but no power, someone you can kill without feeling any guilt!

At least Du Yuan has only found one after wandering around for so long.

Therefore, Du Yuan looked at it with a more amiable expression, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved upwards.

This caused the black giant tiger to pause in its licking of its paws. It then narrowed its golden eyes slightly, looking at Du Yuan, and said:
"What are you laughing at, kid? Do you know who I am?"

Du Yuan shook her head truthfully and said:
"I really don't know."

As expected, he's an arrogant and ignorant fool. He didn't understand anything, yet he dared to barge in like that!
The black tiger immediately raised its head arrogantly and laughed:
"Listen up! I am Hu Shenjun of Zhaoming Temple, under the throne of King Wujingwei of Beique Mountain!"

Du Yuan still didn't know what this guy's background was, since he didn't know where Beique Mountain was or who King Wu Jingwei was. However, he did understand the key point about the Zhaoming Temple God Hu.

"Oh—" Du Yuan drawled as if suddenly realizing something, her "kindness" instantly turning into a mocking expression, "So you're Hu Xiaojiao from Zhaoming Temple?"

"Roar--!!!"

The furious roar of the tiger almost shook the entire Tiger Lair Mountain.

The moment those five words "Hu Xiaoxiaojiao'er" were uttered, it felt as if a red-hot iron had been branded onto its forehead!
They even burned the 'king' in 'the king' into the 'ugly' in 'clown'!

How can I bear this?
The black tiger's arrogance vanished instantly, and it suddenly stood up, shattering almost all the bones beneath it with that movement.

"Boy, I initially thought you were just a hothead, and since it's such a rare opportunity to start over, I was willing to spare your life. Now you're practically asking me to kill you outright!"

As it spoke, it opened its blood-red maw and sneered:

"Speaking of which, I haven't eaten the flesh and blood of a cultivator yet, even after all this time! Do you think eating you would restore a few inches of my golden body, my Tiger God Grandpa?"

Saliva dripped incessantly from the gaping maw's white fangs, and even from a distance, a stench still wafted towards you.

Even Du Yuan couldn't help but take a slight step back from the stench; the smell was truly unbearable.

But he still pretended to be thinking seriously, and after thinking for a while, he finally smiled and said:
"Won't it burst?"

These words stunned the black tiger, as it was an answer it had never expected.

He was extremely arrogant.

Therefore, after a long while, it finally spoke, its lips twitching:

"Alright, it seems you really don't know what's good for you. What, do you really think that you, a reincarnated cultivator, can compare to me, a true god who has already established his own territory and is worshipped by people?"

As it spoke, it left the pile of shattered bones and walked up to Du Yuan, looking down at her and saying:

"Hehe, if you were bald, I might actually be scared. After all, I've heard that a great Bodhisattva Cihang has descended from Qingzhou."

Well, if I'm not mistaken, the great bodhisattva you mentioned is none other than myself.

Seeing that Du Yuan remained fearless and even smiled, he realized that Du Yuan was not afraid at all.

The giant tiger, who had been timid for so many years, felt a sense of unease again.

So it stepped back slightly and asked again:

"Kid, you've made me a coward again, so let's be frank. Otherwise, we might end up fighting and both of us will be injured."

Its head was slightly tilted, and its eyes were sharp.

"Do you know any important figures that I absolutely cannot afford to offend?"

This was a question about Du Yuan's lineage. As long as it was a major power, it would let the other party go. Even those slightly less powerful could be let go. As long as the other party didn't interfere with its plans! Du Yuan also shook its head seriously and said:

"do not know."

I don't even know who the important figures are on your side!
It circled Du Yuan incessantly, its heart burning with intense desire, yet its body utterly restrained.

"Do you possess some extraordinary bloodline or constitution?"

Even if someone with a special bloodline or constitution has no one backing them, it's still a huge disaster if they're found to have died there.

Du Yuan continued to shake her head:
"That's not the case."

I don't even know what powerful bloodlines and physiques you have here!
The giant tiger had stopped behind Du Yuan, its mouth practically dripping with saliva.

"Do you possess some unparalleled treasure?"

In this situation, who knows what kind of amazing treasure this guy has found. Even if he doesn't know how to use it, it wouldn't be good if he accidentally knocked out a tooth.

Du Yuan shook her head again:

"nor."

He only had some Yin Virtue Treasure Coins on him, which was barely enough. Aside from that, the small seals were not only gifts, but Du Yuan also didn't find them useful for attacking or fighting.

This made Du Yuan even happier.

How did this guy manage to portray both cowardice and wickedness so naturally?
"Oh, so you're just a nobody who can eat and let nobody care?"

The black tiger had already placed its gaping maw on Du Yuan's head.

It's about to bite down.

But just then, it suddenly heard Du Yuan say:
"You still haven't asked the last and most crucial question!"

This made it pause, and then ask with a question:
"what?"

Du Yuan turned around and smiled:

"That is, you haven't asked yet whether I myself am someone you can't afford to offend!"

The question initially struck the giant tiger as utterly absurd, followed by a chilling realization!
If it's neither this nor that, then where did this guy's cultivation level come from?!
"Who are you?!"

The black tiger suddenly leaped backward.

Questions followed.

Du Yuan smiled, her hands behind her back:

"The Heaven of Separation from Hatred, the Tushita Palace!"

This answer caused the black tiger's pupils to shrink almost instantly!
A new palace?!
Without further hesitation, a tiger roared, and the surrounding mountains and forests surged forth in a frenzy.

At this moment, it simply leaps up and falls straight down to the foot of the mountain.

They had no intention of engaging in any magical combat.

Because it always prioritizes survival!
But just as they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, they made a desperate escape.

But then he heard a voice from behind him:
"You wretched creature, you have committed countless sins, how can we let you escape now!"

As soon as it landed, it realized with a start that it was back in its original position!

Suddenly, it felt as if its copper skin and iron bones had been pulled out, and it almost collapsed.

Although it has not been officially recognized, Hulao Mountain is still its sacred ground and its domain!

But now it seems like the roles of host and guest have been reversed!
