Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Chapter 26 Beauty and the Beast

Wang Yuyu took steady steps and walked towards the top of the rock.

The massive body carried Tang Li, moving steadily across the snow-covered rocks without swaying at all.

Fan Zhengcheng and a dozen police officers, who were watching from a distance, were all stunned and speechless, their mouths agape.

Their hearts, which had been pounding with anxiety, were now in their throats, their eyes filled with terror and disbelief.

A man and a tiger moved slowly along the steep Eagle's Beak Rock, creating a scene that was both eerie and harmonious.

At the command post at the village entrance, everyone was watching the live feed from the drone. The scene of a "beautiful woman riding a tiger" on the screen left everyone speechless with shock.

A moment later, the young officers were the first to erupt in excitement, their voices filled with unbelievable exhilaration:

"Wow! That's so cool! Riding a tiger up a mountain, it's even more exciting than in the movies!"

"Wow! I really want to try that feeling too. Just looking at it makes my blood boil!"

"This is a real-life Beauty and the Beast! Miss Tang is amazing; she can actually make a tiger so obedient!"

"..."

Amidst the gasps of amazement, Wang Weiguo coughed lightly and spoke slowly, instantly extinguishing everyone's fantasies: "Don't even think about it. Tigers aren't something you can just ride."

"They look big, but they actually have a special body structure with short legs and heavy bodies, which makes them unsuitable for carrying weight."

He paused, then offered a piece of professional knowledge: "There's an old saying, 'A head of bronze, bones of iron, and a waist of tofu,' which couldn't be more fitting for a tiger."

"A tiger's skull and limb bones are as hard as iron, but its waist is extremely fragile and cannot withstand any additional pressure."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the several burly young policemen, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips: "With your physiques, let alone riding on it, you'd probably hurt its back just by sitting on it. If it can't get up, you'd better watch out for your safety."

"Then how come Miss Tang can do it?" Chen Chen asked, pointing at the screen with a puzzled look on his face.

"That's different," Wang Weiguo explained with a smile. "Xiao Tang is a petite girl, very light, and she has a very deep bond with Tie Fan Wan. Tie Fan Wan trusts her from the bottom of his heart."

"Even so, if you look closely, you'll see that she wasn't really riding it in the true sense. She was half-lying on the tiger's back, and was mostly being dragged along by the iron rice bowl."

He pointed to the screen: "If you don't believe me, zoom in on the image and you'll see the tracks on the snow."

Chen Chen immediately operated the controller to zoom in on the screen.

When everyone leaned closer to the screen, they saw that, in addition to the tiger claw marks, there were two shallow scratches on the snow where Wang Yuyu had walked, which were the marks left by Tang Li's feet dragging on the snow.

"So that's how it is!" Everyone suddenly realized, and the envy in their eyes vanished instantly, replaced by lingering fear.

Now no one dares to dream of riding a tiger anymore. After all, given their weight, they would probably become the tiger's "meal" before they even get to experience the fun.

In just a few minutes, Wang Yuyu brought Tang Li back to the top of Eagle Beak Rock.

As soon as Tang Li loosened her grip on the tiger's neck, it immediately leaped lightly onto a flat rock, lowered its head, and continued chewing the remaining jerky in its mouth, its eyes full of satisfaction.

Tang Li also climbed up the rock using both hands and feet, leaned against Wang Yuyu's warm body, rubbing her hands with her breath while carefully clearing the snow off her body.

Her trouser legs and shoes were already soaked with snow water and were numb from the cold. She could only rub them repeatedly to relieve the chill.

Wang Yu finished the dried meat in her mouth in a few bites, then immediately turned her head and stared intently at Tang Li.

Seeing that she was still busy clearing the snow off her legs and showed no intention of taking the jerky, he gently nudged her arm with his big head, letting out a low, urgent growl, as if urging her: "Stop busying yourself, the rest of the jerky is for me!"

Tang Li looked up and met Wang Yuyu's expectant amber eyes. She couldn't help but laugh and reached out to pat his fluffy head: "What's the rush? I'll definitely keep my promise."

She pulled another piece of dried meat from her pocket, tore open the packaging, and stuffed it into Wang Yuyu's mouth: "Here, have another one for you to eat. I'll have them send the rest up by drone so I don't have to go down there again."

Watching Wang Yu happily chewing on the jerky, Tang Li smiled and took out her phone to send a message to Wang Weiguo, asking him to help deliver three pieces of jerky up using a drone.

Upon seeing the message, Wang Weiguo, who was down the mountain, immediately patted Chen Chen on the shoulder and asked, "Could your drones deliver something up there as well? It doesn't need to be too heavy."

Chen Chen nodded: "No problem. As long as the weight does not exceed three pounds, the flight will not be affected. If it is too heavy, the drone will not have enough power and will be prone to malfunction."

"It's not heavy, less than two pounds." Wang Weiguo smiled and turned around. "Wait for me a moment, I'll go get it."

He quickly returned to his car, rummaged through the trunk and pulled out a large bag full of dried meat that Tang Li had specially prepared.

Wang Weiguo picked out three substantial pieces of jerky from the bag. Looking at the jerky in his hand and glancing at the full bag of stock, he couldn't help but chuckle: "This little Tang, she's good at teasing Iron Rice Bowl. She feeds it little by little each time, keeping its appetite whetted. No wonder the tigers in the park are all under her thumb."

Returning to Chen Chen's side with the dried meat, Wang Weiguo handed it to her, asking, "Can we take these upstairs?"

Chen Chen took it, weighed it in his hand, and said confidently, "Absolutely no problem. Where should I deliver it?"

"Just take him to the top of Eagle's Beak Rock, right next to Xiao Tang," Wang Weiguo said, pointing to the distant rock peak.

"Alright!" Chen Chen replied, took out a spare drone from the equipment box, packed the dried meat in a sealed bag, and secured it firmly to the hook at the bottom of the drone. Then he controlled the drone to slowly take off and fly towards Tang Li's location.

Before long, the drone flew over Eagle Beak Rock, and the buzzing sound immediately caught Wang Yuyu's attention.

Thinking it was another disturbance, he frowned, stood up abruptly, stared fiercely at the drone in the air, and raised his claws slightly, about to pounce and swat it down.

"Don't be impulsive!" Tang Li reacted quickly, pressing down on its head and soothingly saying, "It's not here to cause trouble, it's here to bring you jerky. If you knock it down, the jerky will fall down the mountain, and you won't have any to eat today!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyu froze instantly. After hesitating for a few seconds, she reluctantly lay down again, but her eyes remained fixed on the drone, and she let out a low whimper, full of vigilance.
