Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

The tigress's thinking was simple: the fact that such a large and robust Siberian tiger as Wang Yuyu could survive peacefully in this territory and even grow so fat and strong was enough to prove that there was plenty of food and a safe environment here.

Expanding our territory in this direction will allow us to avoid the threat of the roaming bears while also securing enough food – it's a sure bet.

And so, the tigress crossed the mountain ridge and quietly entered Wang Yuyu's territory.

During that time, Wang Yu was recuperating at the zoo and had no way to come and patrol the territory, which meant that this core territory was essentially unguarded.

Since Wang Yuyu didn't come out to chase her away, the tigress assumed that Wang Yuyu had agreed to let her come over, so she unceremoniously claimed the territory as her own and would come over to patrol from time to time, leaving her scent to declare her presence.

Wang Yuyu sniffed the tiger scent in the air again. The smell was strong and fresh, indicating that the tigress had been patrolling this area frequently recently and had long since claimed this territory as her domain.

This time, Wang Yuyu was completely stumped. Her amber eyes were filled with conflict, and she gently scratched the ground with her paws as she made up her mind:

"If I give up this prime territory, with its abundant prey, I'll definitely go hungry!"

"But if they don't let me, I'll have to share this high-hunting prey area with this tigress, and most of the prey will go to someone else, leaving me hungry!"

The more he thought about it, the more conflicted he became, his tail drooping down, looking like he was caught in a dilemma.

As for fighting the tigress and driving her out?

That's absolutely impossible!

Wang Yu knew perfectly well that this was the only tigress in the vicinity of his territory!

What's more, they also had a brief, fleeting affair.

Moreover, judging from his current aesthetic standards, the tigress was agile, had glossy fur, and was truly beautiful. He really couldn't bring himself to harm her, and he was even more reluctant to chase away such a beautiful tigress.

After pondering for a long time, Wang Yuyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had made a major decision. She shook her head helplessly and comforted herself, "Sigh, whatever, I really am a big-mouthed tiger!"

"Let's not argue with her anymore, let's just share this territory with her."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel smug again, a slight smile playing on his lips. He thought to himself, "Tang Li always says I'm petty and stingy, let's see what she has to say now!"

"I've shared this prime hunting ground with everyone, so if anyone dares to call me petty again, I'll deal with them!"

Despite his pride, the thought of having to eat less food in the future made him frown and look aggrieved: "It's just a pity about my stomach. Until I find a new core territory, I can only eat less and suffer a little."

Although he decided to share this territory with the tigress, he wouldn't stay here for long; he would only come here occasionally to hunt.

After all, if he stayed here for a long time, he would inevitably clash with the tigress over prey.

Secondly, if he eats too much, the tigress will have less food to hunt, and if that affects her, it will be a loss.

After making up his mind, Wang Yu left his scent mark on the tree trunks in this territory, both to let the tigress know that he had been there and to declare his sovereignty.

He had claimed this land first; he was only sharing it with her temporarily.

Having done all this, he did not linger and quickly left this core territory.

Five kilometers away from this core territory, Wang Yuyu stopped and stood on a hilltop with a wide view. He looked back at the familiar territory, his amber eyes filled with reluctance.

That's a prime location with plenty of prey; it's hard not to feel bad about sharing it with others.

But then he couldn't help but complain about Tang Li: "It's all Tang Li's fault! If she hadn't encouraged me to go and find that tigress, would I be in this situation now?"

"Now look what's happened! We've let the wolf into the house, luring the tigress into my territory!"

He grew angrier as he spoke, scrambling his claws to the ground, sending snow flying. "What were once four perfectly good core territories have now been reduced to three! How am I supposed to survive? I'm sure I'll be going hungry all the time from now on!"

"No way! Next time I see Tang Li, I have to make her compensate me for my losses!"

"Bring me lots and lots of meat to make up for the loss of a piece of territory!"

He muttered angrily, blaming everything on Tang Li, "It's all her fault. If it weren't for her, I'd still be carefree and able to eat whatever I wanted!"

So he stood on the hilltop and complained for a while before gradually calming down.

It glanced back at the shared territory, sighed softly, flicked its tail, and turned to continue walking along the ridge.

Half a month later, Wang Yuyu finally finished inspecting all of his core territories.

At this moment, he stood proudly on the hilltop where his territory met that of his "good neighbor" wolf pack. His fluffy tiger fur swayed gently in the breeze, and his amber eyes gazed at the distant, endless mountains, his gaze filled with arrogance and pride.

Having surveyed their territory, it was time to seek revenge and seize the wolf pack's land.

The neighbors around are either bears or tigers; you have to pick the softest persimmon to squeeze!

Taking a deep breath, Wang Yuyu suddenly tilted his head back and let out a deafening tiger roar towards the mountains: "Roar!"

The tiger's roar was extremely penetrating, spreading far and wide like thunder, echoing throughout the entire forest. The birds in the forest were startled and took flight, chirping as they fled this area that was about to be stirred by the arrival of the king.

Meanwhile, on a sunny hillside seven kilometers away, a pack of wolves was lazily resting on the snow, some licking their paws, others curled up and dozing, enjoying the rare warmth of the sun.

Suddenly, the domineering roar of the tiger reached their ears, and all the wolves instantly became alert, standing up in unison with their eyes full of vigilance and fear, all looking in the direction where Wang Yuyu was.

The wolf king stood tall on the hillside, its body upright and its eyes sharp. It listened carefully to the tiger's roar and instantly understood its profound meaning.

That was Wang Yuyu's declaration, an arrogant hint that "I'm here, this territory belongs to me," carrying an undeniable deterrent force.

"Awooo!" The wolf king lowered its head and let out a low, urgent growl towards the pack beneath it, "Retreat!"

Upon receiving the order, the wolf pack immediately sprang into action, with the old, weak, sick, and disabled wolves leading the way, responsible for scouting the road and remaining alert for danger.

Following closely behind were several strong and robust wolves, constantly on guard, ready to rush to their aid should any of the wolves in front or behind be attacked.

In the middle are the relatively weak mother wolf and the naive wolf cubs, the largest group, tightly protected in the center of the group.

Finally, a few strong wolves covered the rear, protecting the mother wolf and her cubs ahead.

The entire wolf pack slowly migrated away from Wang Yuyu, willingly surrendering this territory.
