Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Fan Zhengcheng and his group, who were not far away, found some dry branches and started a fire.

The group huddled around the fire, rubbing their hands to warm themselves while patiently waiting for news from the helicopter. Occasionally, they would steal glances at the heartwarming scene of a man and a tiger on the boulder, their eyes filled with constant envy.

Tang Li snuggled closer to Wang Yuyu, flipping through videos she had previously filmed of him. The comments from fans below were varied and made her giggle, her shoulders shaking with laughter.

"Hehehe... Iron rice bowl, wake up, look!"

Tang Li gently bumped her head against Wang Yuyu's chin, held her phone up to his face, and smiled so hard her eyes narrowed into slits, "Your fans are so talented! Every question they ask is more hilarious than the last!"

She pointed to a comment and read aloud, "Look at this, someone asked you, 'Hey boss with a secure job, have you found your dream wife yet? Want me to help you find a spouse online?'"

She made a few more strokes, then laughed even harder: "And this! 'Begging for a benefactor with a secure job: If I were to run into you in the mountains someday, I'd kneel down and beg for mercy. Would you spare my life?'"

"Hahaha, this is the best part!" Tang Li patted Wang Yuyu's broad back, almost laughing to tears. "He asked, 'Boss with an iron rice bowl, how many kilograms of meat do I need to feed you before I can touch your butt? Waiting online, it's urgent!'"

"Roar!" Wang Yuyu, unable to bear the noise any longer, suddenly opened his eyes, his amber pupils filled with impatience, and growled, "So noisy! Can't you just stay quiet for a while? I can't even bask in the sun in peace!"

Tang Li's smile vanished instantly. She raised her hand and punched Wang Yuyu in the waist, the force not heavy but full of anger: "What are you yelling for! I was just trying to show you something funny, and you're not happy about it?"

Her brows furrowed: "You know you have a foul mouth? If you dare yell at me like that again, I'll teach you a lesson!"

"Hmph!" Wang Yuyu sneered through her nose, rolled her eyes, and simply turned around, turning her back to Tang Li to continue sunbathing with her eyes closed, clearly showing her attitude of "I can't be bothered to argue with you".

Seeing that he remained silent, Tang Li assumed that she had intimidated him, and became even more demanding.

She reached out and grabbed Wang Yuyu's enormous tiger paw, carefully holding it up to her face. She even leaned closer to take a photo together, captioning it: "Exclusive limited edition: Tiger paw pillow, anyone want it? (Friendly reminder: This boss has a bad temper, proceed with caution!)"

The moment this post was published, the comment section exploded with a flood of envy and jealousy: "Ahhh! I want tiger paw stickers too!"

"I'm so envious! Why can't I be so lucky to have such a secure job?"

"Sister, please take me under your wing! I'm willing to give up a stable job to be your pet owner!"

Just as Tang Li was scrolling through the comments and laughing heartily, a deep wolf howl suddenly came from the depths of the forest: "Awooo!"

The voice was long and drawn out, yet carried a hint of ferocity and a touch of caution, making it particularly jarring in the silent valley.

Wang Yuyu, who was sunbathing, suddenly opened her eyes. Her amber eyes instantly lost all their languor and were replaced by a cold wariness.

He stood up almost instinctively, his massive body exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Tang Li, who was lying in his arms to keep warm, was caught off guard and rolled down into the snow with a cry of "Ouch!" and fell flat on her back.

Just as Tang Li was about to get up and get angry, she saw Wang Yuyu prick up his ears, narrow his eyes slightly, and accurately pinpoint the location of the wolf pack based on just a few faint wolf howls.

He was seething with rage: "Damn it, they've got some nerve! I'm still here, and they dare to launch a group invasion? Do they think I, the mountain lord, don't exist?"

The next second, Wang Yu gathered all her strength and let out a deafening and extremely intimidating roar towards the direction from which the wolf's howl came: "Roar!"

This tiger's roar was more powerful and terrifying than any before, carrying the unique pressure of a mountain lord, and smashing outwards like a heavy hammer.

Tang Li's ears throbbed from the sudden roar. She instinctively covered her ears and screamed at Fan Zhengcheng and his group nearby, "Cover your ears! The tiger's roar is coming!"

However, Fan Zhengcheng and the others were too far away, and Wang Yuyu's movements were incredibly fast. Tiger Roar erupted almost the instant he stood up, and Tang Li's warning didn't even reach their ears.

Before everyone could react, the powerful tiger's roar, carrying the air currents, had already rushed towards them.

"Ah!" Fan Zhengcheng and his teammates were instantly shocked, their faces turning pale. They covered their ears in pain, their bodies involuntarily crouching down, their heads buzzing, and they couldn't even stand up straight.

As the tiger's roar gradually faded, Tang Li slowly released her grip, but her ears were still ringing, accompanied by nausea, dizziness, and a churning stomach.

She suppressed her discomfort, not even bothering to brush the snow off her clothes, and hurriedly shouted in the direction of Fan Zhengcheng and the others, "Captain Fan! Are you alright? Captain Fan!"

Fan Zhengcheng was rubbing his ringing ears, his vision was blurry, and he could vaguely see Tang Li waving and calling out to them, but his ears were full of buzzing and he couldn't hear what she was saying at all.

He could only shout back, "Xiao Tang, what did you say? I can't hear you!"

"Captain Fan, are you alright?" Tang Li was extremely anxious, calling out as she quickly ran towards Fan Zhengcheng and the others.

When she got closer, she found that her teammates were all covering their ears, looking at her blankly with obvious dizziness in their eyes.

Tang Li panicked instantly. She grabbed Fan Zhengcheng's arm, leaned close to his ear, and shouted with all her might, "Captain Fan, are you alright?!"

Fan Zhengcheng frowned, pointed to his ear, and shouted at the same volume, "I'm fine! It's just that my ears are ringing badly, so I can't hear you for the time being!"

Seeing everyone's state, Tang Li's eyes reddened, and she almost cried: "You can't all get hurt in this desolate wilderness! If something really goes wrong, how am I supposed to get you out of here!"

In a moment of quick thinking, she picked up a twig that had burned down to half and frantically drew her name on the clean snow beside her. The handwriting was crooked and messy, but it conveyed her utter panic: "Can't you hear me?"

Fan Zhengcheng nodded and shouted, "That's right! My tinnitus is severe, I can't hear what you're saying, it should be fine after a while!"

Tang Li quickly wrote again, "What should we do? Should we call someone to help? You all seem to be deaf!"

Fan Zhengcheng glanced at his teammates who were also experiencing tinnitus, took a deep breath, shook his head, took out his phone from his pocket, handed it to Tang Li, and said loudly, "No need! This should be temporary, it'll get better soon. You take this, they'll call when the helicopter arrives, you can answer it then!"
