Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

"Roar~~"

Two furious roars suddenly came from the mouth of a snow wolf. These beasts surrounded Yan, and the arrogance and indifference in their eyes, as well as their powerful aura, were indeed troublesome. However, they should not have provoked Yan.

"Oh, and there are also snow mammoths and powerful snow apes. It seems something has happened at Snow God Mountain."

Just as Yan was about to make his move, he suddenly looked in several other directions and discovered some powerful celestial beasts, which seemed to be unique species of Snow God Mountain.

A group of snow-white humanoid beasts appeared. They were about two and a half meters tall. When they saw Yan and the Snow Wolf King confronting each other, they opened their mouths and shouted. It was unclear whether they were trying to persuade them or to provoke them. After all, the Mighty Snow Ape clan was said to be the most fond of causing trouble.

On the other side, two gigantic celestial beasts, each over ten meters tall and more than fifteen meters long, appeared in Yan's sight. They were covered in long, snow-white fur, with thick, protruding tusks, and their bodies looked like mountains.

This is the king of mammoths, the Snow God Mammoth, which exists only in Snow God Mountain. Any one of these behemoths is a war machine, and there are many more of these behemoths in Snow God Mountain, which is why many human empires are so wary of the Snow God Mountain Empire of the Beast Empire.

These snow apes seemed to be the brains of the group of celestial beasts. After seeing that there was only fire in this area, they each made a few calls and then chose to move aside and search in other directions.

Yan watched the departing celestial beasts, rubbing his chin as he analyzed, "A few stupid wolves ran away. It seems something really happened at Snow God Mountain. I wonder what the situation is. Can I help out?"

Yan was pondering this when he prepared to continue on his way. However, he turned back after only a few steps, scanning his surroundings. He had just thought about it for a moment and realized that something was amiss.

“Something’s not right. When those celestial beasts came, I seemed to sense a very subtle movement. And those celestial beasts wouldn’t surround my area for no reason. There’s definitely something wrong.”

Yan analyzed the situation in his mind, scanning the area with his eyes but finding nothing. Just when he began to doubt whether his guess was correct, he suddenly leaped onto a tree and then jumped down from the tree.

Yan felt a weight on the instep, as if something had fallen onto his foot, fleshy and soft, like a living little creature.

Yan looked down and his gaze was immediately fixed on a furry little creature with white fur and light blue markings. It was only about a foot long and was rubbing against his left foot, seemingly enjoying his scent.

"A little tiger? Or a little kitten?"

Yan bent down and picked up the furry little thing. The little guy, which was no more than a foot long, had a round little head with a "王" (king) character formed by dark blue fur in the center of its forehead. Although its white body with blue spots was small, it was indeed the same as a tiger, except that the color of its fur was very rare.

Its large eyes were also deep blue. It seemed uncomfortable that Yan was grabbing the fur behind its neck and lifting it up, and it was whimpering in dissatisfaction.

Yan's expression turned quite strange. He never expected to run into this little guy at the foot of Snow God Mountain. Speaking of which, didn't this little guy run away from home and go to the area near the Heavenly Bow Empire? How did he end up bumping into him here in the Paradise of Ten Thousand Beasts?

Yan reached out with his right hand and grasped the little creature in his palm. It was soft, fluffy, and very gentle. He curiously examined the creature in his hand, which was probably a tiger cub. The two of them looked at each other, and Yan's gaze was filled with doubt.

He wasn't quite sure why this little guy had come to him. Could it be that it could see through his strength? Or had it sensed his true nature?

Yan is eager to figure this out, since he has a plan to cause trouble at Snow God Mountain. If it's so easy for others to see through his plan, then what's the point of him doing anything? It would be safer to return to the Fei Li Empire as soon as possible.

"Little tiger, little tiger, have you been separated from your parents? Where are they?"

Yan casually toyed with the little tiger, which was less than a foot long, but the tiger cub refused to be handled. It bared its teeth and bared its claws, revealing its ferocious side. Unfortunately, it was too small to be intimidating.

However, its struggle caused Yan to let go of its grip. The little creature slid down Yan's wrist and then hooked onto Yan's left leg, tearing at Yan's trouser leg with its claws, as if it wouldn't stop until it had torn his trousers to shreds.

Chapter 538 White Tiger Tian'er

"Hey! You little rascal, you don't look very big, but you have quite the temper."

The little white tiger fidgeted with its trouser leg, which Yan naturally couldn't tolerate. He squatted down and gently pinched and lifted it, and the little guy's neck was under Yan's control. It bared its teeth and claws, clearly dissatisfied.

Yan held the little guy and observed it. The little white tiger, which he was holding, whimpered in dissatisfaction, its icy blue eyes reflecting his image.

"Little guy, behave yourself."

Yan scooped the little tiger into his arms again, this time using his left hand and his right hand to gently scratch its head and the back of its neck with a unique motion. Sure enough, this time it didn't struggle at all, letting out soft growls to express its joy.

Yan's eighteen ways of petting cats are so powerful that Qiu'er, who was initially at odds with him, eventually fell for him. This little tiger, with its limited experience, was no match for his methods.

After letting out a few soft cries, the little tiger became incredibly obedient, nuzzling its head against Yan's chest before closing its eyes in a comfortable position.

Yan stroked the little tiger's fur, finding it somewhat amusing. He hadn't expected the little guy to be so easily satisfied. If the Snow God Mountain Lord knew that his daughter had been kidnapped like this, he would probably be furious.

That's right, in just this short time, Yan had already confirmed the little one's identity. Without a doubt, she was Tian'er, the little princess of the Sacred Heavenly Spirit Tiger lineage of Snow God Mountain, the only daughter of Snow God Mountain Lord Xue Aotian, and there was a high probability she would inherit the position of Snow God Mountain Lord in the future.

Yan had a rough idea of ​​why the little guy ran down the mountain; it was probably because he was unhappy with his marriage and throwing a tantrum.

Xue Aotian, the master of Snow God Mountain, has a disciple named Gu Yingbing, who comes from the sacred lineage of the Lion-Man Royal Family, the Spirit Lion. She watched Tian'er grow up from childhood, and they were childhood sweethearts, so she wanted to get married. However, Tian'er, the heroine of this lion-tiger marriage, didn't like him at all, so she simply ran away.

If Yan remembers correctly, this little guy even ran away from the Beast Empire to escape his arranged marriage, which shows his strong will.

Yan wrapped his left arm around the little white tiger and scratched its chubby chin with his right hand, which made the little tiger lick its tongue in its sleep to express its dissatisfaction.

The Sacred Heavenly Tiger's fur was incredibly smooth. Touching the little creature felt like touching a piece of soft satin, an indescribably comfortable sensation. Moreover, the little guy was boneless all over; although it wasn't very big, everything it touched was soft and plump.

Yan rolled the little tiger out of his arms and moved his hand from its chin to its belly. However, this action made the little tiger very angry. It roared and struggled to roll over on its own. It opened its mouth and bit Yan's hand, but it bit very lightly, as if it was just venting its dissatisfaction.

"Little one, and she's a female, and she's already shy."

Yan knew why the little guy was unhappy. When his hand slid down to her belly, he touched most of her body. Although it was in the form of a little tiger, she was a girl who could transform, so it would be strange if she didn't react.

"Now that we have this little guy, what should we do?"

Yan looked at the sleeping tiger cub in his arms and felt a little worried. Given the current situation, should he still go to Snow God Mountain?

"not going."

Yan quickly made a decision. He was going to Snow God Mountain for the Heavenly Core that might exist in their treasure vault, but now the most precious little one of Snow God Mountain was in his hands. As long as he got her, wouldn't the Snow God Mountain treasure vault be able to take whatever he wanted from him?

Yan is a very pragmatic person. If he continues to Snow God Mountain, he might run into Xue Aotian, who has lost his daughter, and they might end up fighting. But if he leaves decisively and makes the little tiger his own, Snow God Mountain will be his for the taking. Is there any need to choose?

"Walk."

Since Yan had already made his decision, he would not hesitate. He didn't even bother to clean up the corpses of the celestial beasts on the ground. He simply leaped away, leaving behind trails of shadows in the mountains and forests before disappearing completely.

……

Shortly after Yan left, two ghostly white figures appeared without warning. They were two middle-aged men, both dressed in white, with silver hair, blue eyes that gleamed with a sinister light, and exuding a strong aura of power.

The man in white on the left frowned and asked in confusion, "Strange, His Highness's aura is so strong here, but why didn't we notice it earlier?"

The white-clad figure on the right looked around, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes. "When we arrived here just now, we didn't transform into human form to search carefully. Instead, we used the Snow God's Perception Technique to explore."

We saw a human disposing of the corpses of a group of celestial beasts, including some wolves. The wolf king tried to attack, but we stopped him. The human seemed unremarkable, and we couldn't detect anything unusual with our senses; he seemed harmless.

"No, look at the corpses here."

The white-robed man on the left pointed to the messy corpses of the celestial beasts and said in a deep voice, "Some of these corpses were cleaned up very well, but others didn't even have their celestial cores removed. Second brother, do you still remember what happened back then?"

The middle-aged man on the right looked down carefully, sniffing as if trying to identify the scents. "These corpses... I remember now. The last one that man dealt with was this ice wolf. After we left, he chose to abandon these corpses and walk away?"

The middle-aged man on the left quickly said, "Which direction did he go? This person may have sensed or run into something, which is very likely related to His Highness."

“Strange, strange, how come we can’t smell anything? I was wondering why I felt something was off. That person clearly existed, but he didn’t leave any trace. And the way he looked at us back then, he was definitely a powerful person.”

After sniffling for a long time, the middle-aged man on the right had a glint in his eyes. He shook his head in horror. Back then, those celestial beasts had shown hostility in front of them. Now, thinking about it, it was really lucky that they were alive.

"This is troublesome; we must report this to the mountain lord."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man on the left immediately darkened his expression. If the young lady had simply run away on her own, it wouldn't have been a problem, but since it involved some mysterious and powerful figure, this matter could not be treated as an ordinary incident.

A hint of fear flashed across the face of the man in white on the right, and he said with a touch of apprehension, "Brother, will His Majesty hold a grudge against us?"

The man in white on the left snorted coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about! His Majesty is the Snow God King, an extremely wise ruler. How could he be so easily angered? Let's go back to Snow God Mountain and report to His Majesty first."

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves around him, and a faint white halo flashed and disappeared, covering all the corpses in the area. His movements were extremely skillful, clearly not the first time he had done this.

A flash of white light, and a ghostly figure vanished in an instant. The two white-clad figures had disappeared from the spot, while the corpses of the celestial beasts that had been on the ground turned into pieces of ice, which then quietly shattered and turned into powder, disappearing without a trace.

……

"Woooo..."

The morning sun made the tent feel especially warm. Yan, who was sleeping in late again, was awakened by the heat on his face and the low growling sounds.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a red tongue with small fleshy barbs licking his face. The little white tiger was lying next to his pillow, licking its face with saliva. When it saw that he had opened his eyes, it became even more enthusiastic.

"You little rascal, I think you need to be taught a lesson."

Yan has always been grumpy when she wakes up. Once she sat up, she grabbed the struggling little tiger and started slapping it repeatedly, even using its fur to clean the drool off her face.

"Woooo..."

The little tiger was already unhappy with him, and now it was even more displeased. It roared and tried to bite him again, but unfortunately, it was too small to pose any threat. Yan casually grabbed it and took it out of the tent.

With a soft splash, Yan and the little tiger in his arms simultaneously entered the stream outside the tent. Yan casually washed the little tiger and tossed it aside, then began to wash himself. There were no maids or servants in this desolate wilderness, so he had to do it all himself.

Behind Yan, the little tiger that he had thrown into the water thrashed about with its four paws and quickly swam to the shore. Then, like a puppy, it spun around wildly in place, rapidly shaking off the water droplets.

After the little white tiger finished doing these things, it looked up and saw Yan bathing in the stream. At this moment, it actually raised its two tiger paws and covered its eyes in a very human-like manner, even rolling its eyes upwards.

"Little thing, why are you covering your eyes? It's just making things worse. What can those two little paws possibly cover?"

As Yan finished washing up and was about to go ashore, he saw the little tiger lying on its back facing him, covering its eyes with its two small tiger eyes, but its icy blue eyes were still darting around. It was clearly trying to cover up its true intentions, and it barked in dissatisfaction after Yan exposed it.

Yan laughed heartily as he stepped out of the stream, and a large flame instantly rose up, evaporating the moisture from his body. This scene left the little tiger stunned, clearly having never seen a human who could spontaneously combust and was not afraid of fire.

Yan walked over, picked up the little thing, pried open the white tiger's paws, pinched its little head, and then took it back into the tent.

"Waaah, waaah..."

The little white tiger was being held by Yan again. It probably felt that this was very disrespectful to it, so it roared angrily and struggled desperately.

However, Yan ignored its opinion, took it back to the tent and tossed it aside. Then he started getting dressed and tidying up. After he finished, he put the tent into the storage device and reached out, and the little tiger was in his arms.

"Hmm, not bad, you're even cleaner after the wash, and you feel so soft. Little one, when you grow up, you'll be my mount. I used to ride dragons, and Big Cat did too, but that one was golden, much prettier than your white tiger..."

Yan Xu kept talking, while the little white tiger rolled its eyes in his arms. It shook its round little head vigorously, its blue eyes filled with disdain and contempt.

The little thing thought Yan was just bragging, talking about dragons and big cats, and even complaining that its white tiger wasn't pretty enough, saying there were bigger cats prettier than it. This was definitely nonsense.

Baihu Tian'er is the princess of Snow God Mountain, the most beautiful girl in Snow God Mountain. How could there be any other big cat more beautiful than her?

And this guy mentioned he used to ride dragons, which is even more absurd. The dragon race on the vast continent has long since disappeared. Where did this guy get a dragon? It's definitely bragging, absolutely. The little white tiger rolled its eyes and thought to itself, labeling Yan as a braggart.

Chapter 539 Misty Swamp

In the southwest of the Beast Empire, amidst a thick fog, a campfire rose and dispelled the mist. Beside the campfire stood a tent, inside which lay a young man.

Yan looked up at the sky through the lifted curtain. The crescent moon overhead had become increasingly round and bright these past few days. The moonlight was cold, and the weather here was even colder. If it weren't for that bonfire... with his cultivation level, it seemed like nothing would have happened.

As Yan thought of this, he yawned and turned his head to the side. There were some willow branches stuck in the campfire, and on the willow branches were fragrant and oily roasted meat. At this moment, next to the roasted meat, a little white tiger was happily eating, slurping and eating with its mouth full of oil.

Yan called out to the little white tiger, "Little thing, are you going to sleep or not? Look how much weight you've gained these past few days. If you keep eating, you'll really become a round ball."

"Hooho..."

The little white tiger raised its head and made a guarding gesture, then growled twice and rolled its eyes, seemingly showing great disdain for Yan's words.

Yan just stared at it without saying a word. The little tiger inexplicably felt uneasy, silently licked its tongue, looked at the roasted meat with reluctance, and then stopped eating.

It jumped to the edge of the tent, and the tent flap was immediately pulled down. After entering the tent, the little white tiger nimbly pawed at it for a while, and the flap was soon closed. The rounder little guy then slipped into Yan's arms from the edge of the blanket.
