My Fierce Tigress Wife-Chapter 206 - Transition, Eleven Years

Chapter 206: Transition, Eleven Years

The humans needed time to rest and recuperate.

This was also one of the reasons why they had continued to fire nuclear weapons and stop alternate worlds from establishing a foothold on Earth, despite how they had clearly already made the decision to give up part of Earth.

Dong Pingtao’s expression relaxed a little, and he said sincerely, “Thank you very much for your help in this battle, Your Excellency.”

“We’re just taking what each of us needs,” Wang Hu replied dispassionately.

With great rapport, they ended the phone call without discussing anything else.

After thinking about it a little, Wang Hu became a little more assured. No accidents had taken place after he left the battlefield.

It was fine as long as that was the case.

He sat alone on the throne in the hall and carefully went through the incident in his mind. After ensuring that there weren’t any other loopholes, thoughts of revenge started to form in his mind.

He had nearly died.

Such a blood feud would naturally never end until one of them was dead.

He wouldn’t be Wang Hu anymore if he could take it lying down and pretend that it had never happened.

Having been an orphan in his past life, he had understood something ever since he was a child. In this world, one would be finished if they didn’t dare to fight back after they were bullied.

They could just wait to be bullied for the rest of their lives, then.

It was only when one fought back ruthlessly that the other party wouldn’t dare to bully them anymore.

Of course, this also depended on the difference in strength between the two parties involved, as well as whether the occasion was right or not. One mustn’t rush head-first into it as if they had a death wish.

That was no different from seeking death itself.

After thinking about it carefully, Wang Hu discovered… fine, it wasn’t the best time to seek revenge at the moment.

Should he really go, he would really be having a death wish.

He gritted his teeth, becoming fairly frustrated and displeased right away.

He admitted it—he was simply just displeased about it. After being invincible and walking unhindered on Earth for several years…

Someone had suddenly nearly taken his life. It made him awfully displeased. It wasn’t because he was petty—he believed that he wasn’t a petty person.

He simply wanted to take revenge on the other party, that’s all.

He had to pay it back, no matter what.

However, he simply couldn’t think of anything good even after racking his brains. He couldn’t help but let out a cold snort.

Just you wait, you worms.

I’ll put up with your existence for now. When I become strong enough, I’ll eat dragon meat every day.

After etching his grudges with them firmly in mind, Wang Hu started to focus on recovering his divine power.

Three days later…

The Chinese came over and delivered the things that they had originally agreed upon, as well as the spoils from the battle.

At once, even with their current financial assets, it felt as if the Tiger King’s Cave had struck gold overnight.

The two parties had agreed on a total of three conditions.

Firstly, China would incorporate all the territories under Wang Hu’s command into the China Alliance, thereby allowing the spiritual energy density level in all his territories to reach the same level as China’s.

On top of that, they would also help the Tiger King’s Cave to monitor the world passages in his territories. However, should any of the alternate worlds invade, the Tiger King’s Cave would take care of the matter themselves.

Secondly, they would give him a total of 2,500 kilograms’ worth of Spirit Stones.

One mustn’t underestimate the human alliances. They definitely had a lot of Spirit Stones in their possession.

As for the source of the Spirit Stones, they naturally took it from the alternate worlds.

To be honest, Earth’s current spiritual energy density level was already high enough to produce Spirit Stones. However, because it hadn’t been that long since the awakening of spiritual energy, they would probably still need some more time before Spirit Stone mines would truly form and start producing Spirit Stones.

Thirdly, they would also give him a total of 300 Second Realm pills of various effects, as well as a total of 20 Third Realm pills.

All of these basically came from China.

They offered a total of three types of ‘sincerity’ in exchange for Wang Hu’s help in countering the Dragon Clan’s invasion together with them this time.

While it seemed like a vast majority of the offerings had come from China, the other alliances would naturally also make it up to China in other aspects.

What were they to do? The others really didn’t have some of the good stuff they had, such as pills and so on.

Apart from the benefits that the human alliances had offered, there were also the spoils from the battle.

According to statistics, they had killed a total of 28 Divine Body Realm golden dragons, 56 Divine Body Realm marine creatures, and 210,000 Second Realm creatures from the Dragon Clan troops.

This was the biggest harvest that Earth had reaped so far.

Firstly, the carcasses themselves already constituted a vast amount of wealth.

Secondly, there were also the weapons and Dharma treasures that they had collected from the enemy.

Inclusive of superior-grade, middle-grade, and inferior-grade ones; there was a total of over 50,000 Dharma artifacts.

There were also a total of 98 inferior-grade Dharma treasures, 16 middle-grade Dharma treasures, and one superior-grade Dharma treasure.

As for Spirit Stones, there were approximately a total of 37,500 kilograms’ worth of them.

Apart from these things with easily assessable value, there were also a lot of other things whose value couldn’t be easily appraised.

Aside from weapons that weren’t as good as Dharma artifacts…

There were also all sorts of pills with various different effects. There were about 10,000 Second Realm ones and about 1,000 Third Realm ones.

As they had different effects, their value would also differ.

Other than that, there were also various other treasures whose value couldn’t be assessed so easily.

China had taken a whole two days and more before they barely managed to categorize them.

One could easily imagine how vast an amount of riches 80% of these was.

Had they not been Wang Hu’s, the other alliances would have loved to fight for them.

The saying ‘people are moved by profits’ was one that would never change.

Even Wang Hu felt the urge to go into the Dragon Clan’s world and plunder them when he saw the rewards, especially when he still had a score to settle with them.

This was because he had distinctly realized something: the Dragon Clan was rich—filthy rich.

Even though he had already occupied a world, all the benefits that he had received so far weren’t comparable to the rewards he had gotten this time.

Yet, these were just things from the invaders whom a Dragon King among the Dragon Clan had sent under the world passage restrictions.

From this, one could tell that the Dragon Clan’s riches were beyond one’s imagination.

Joy surfaced on even Di Baijun’s usually cool facial features when she saw the spoils.

She started to sort through the assets so enthusiastically that even Wang Hu felt like he couldn’t quite interfere.

Once more, he became sure of something: women loved handling the accounts, no matter whether they were good at it or not.

The term ‘housekeeper¹‘ didn’t form out of thin air after all.

Wang Hu didn’t disturb Silly Girl. Instead, he started to think about the Tiger King’s Cave’s future development.

Now that they had gained such a huge amount of riches, they would need to convert them into combat power as soon as possible.

After his near-death experience this time, his sense of urgency toward increasing his combat power had intensified significantly.

His own combat power aside, there was also the Tiger King’s Cave’s combat power.

While it might seem like there were quite a few Divine Body Realm beings in the current Tiger King’s Cave, practically none of them were loyal to him.

None of them were people whom he could use with peace of mind either.

Now, that made things rather awkward.

Therefore, he needed to speed up his trusted subordinates’ development.

Slowly, some plans formed in his mind.

In the month that followed, the human alliances continued to busy themselves with their own affairs. In Wang Hu’s case, he got the Tiger King’s Cave to receive several thousand Siberian Tigers from China and Russia into his territory again.

After the handover, almost all the Siberian Tigers on Earth were under Wang Hu’s command now.

They made up a total count of more than 12,000.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of them were useless junk that had been brought up and reared by humans. While they couldn’t be said to have limited potential…

Among the First Realm beings, apart from some tigers that truly possessed fantastic talent, their development rate and potential were indeed inferior to wild tigers’.

Of course, they were still very useful in terms of expanding the species’ numbers.

If he wanted to do another large-scale expansion of the species’ numbers in the future, he would have to do it through other breeds of tigers instead.

After a month of work, they finally settled all the tigers under their command.

Another two months went by in a flash.

Under Wang Hu’s full support, at last, Jun Wen, Ling Shuang, and Old Third successively reached peak-level Second Realm.

What came next for them would be to break through to the Divine Body Realm. They could only depend on themselves for this.

In the following few months, more than ten other people, such as Old Second, Jun Yong, and Xiong Zong, also reached peak-level Second Realm one after another.

There were also more than 400 other tigers under his command that broke through to the Transformation Realm.

As time passed little by little, the effects brought about by Wang Hu’s grooming and the tigers’ inherent species aptitude started to greatly increase day by day.

Everything seemed to be going positively.

At midnight on this day, Wang Hu took a look at Silly Girl who was resting in his arms. Then, he soundlessly took a look at the Map of the Universe in his mind.

The number there had already become 15.15.

He did some mental calculations and realized that eleven years had already gone by since the awakening of spiritual energy.

Another year had passed while he wasn’t paying attention.

He thought about it carefully. The rewards they had reaped during the last year were more or less satisfactory.

The speed at which the Tiger King’s Cave was becoming stronger was increasing, and his own cultivation realm could be said to have reached the Seventh Floor. On top of that, his actual combat power had even reached an unknown level.

His relationship with Silly Girl had likely also become deeper and stronger.

The latter half of the year hadn’t seen any battles that required him to take any action and could be considered as having been very peaceful.

After musing for a few minutes, he looked at Silly Girl’s stunning little face again. He felt as if he would never get tired of it no matter how often he looked at her.

On impulse, he pressed down upon her in a practiced manner.

…

A few days later…

Suddenly, Lee Bokbyul sent him a message.

Wang Hu picked up his cell phone and took a look. Then, he raised an eyebrow, though he wasn’t really that surprised.

Next to him, Di Baijun looked over curiously.

Wang Hu passed her the cell phone. Unlike human men, his cell phone could be given to his wife anytime.

Di Baijun received the phone from him. After taking a few looks at it, a hint of contempt entered her voice. “At least the Australia Alliance knows what’s good for them and has taken the initiative to integrate themselves with the India Alliance.”

What Wang Hu had just received was exactly the news that Australia was going to merge with India. Ji had found out about it.

Ever since Ji had become his, he was now a lot clearer about what was going on in the world.

Take what was going on at the moment for example. The Australia Alliance and the India Alliance hadn’t even openly announced anything yet, but Lee Bokbyul had already personally sent him the news.

Overall, Wang Hu was rather satisfied with Lee Bokbyul and the others’ performances at the moment.

“This trend has appeared ever since the Italy Alliance merged with the Germany Alliance last month… after they suffered great losses because of the world passage that had suddenly appeared. It’s not surprising that they would make such a decision now,” said Wang Hu dispassionately.

In the latter half of the eleventh year since the awakening of spiritual energy, even though the Tiger King’s Cave had been relatively peaceful…

It hadn’t been that peaceful on Earth for the humans.

Various wars had been taking place without even a moment’s pause.

Last month, the Italy Alliance had suffered terrible losses and ended up merging with the Germany Alliance.

The humans, who were already in fear and panic, became even more fearful and panicked after the loss of the South Korea Alliance and the Japan Alliance one after the other.

People were even holding demonstrations in the Australia Alliance every day, which had the least to count on.

It wasn’t strange that they would want to merge with the India Alliance at this point.

In other words, only eight alliances would be left among the humans very soon.

The China Alliance, the India Alliance, the Russia Alliance, the Iran Alliance, the US Alliance, the Germany Alliance, the Africa Alliance, and the Pakistan Alliance.

In the short span of slightly over a year, they had gone from twelve alliances to only eight.

The rate at which they decreased was even faster than what Wang Hu had expected.

This indirectly showed how perilous of a situation Earth was currently in.

They were probably not too far off from the fate that Wang Hu had once thought of—becoming one single human alliance.

“They are going to go from nine alliances to eight very soon. You can consider this an improvement for the humans,” said Di Baijun suddenly with some mockery.

“Yeah, it can be considered an improvement.” Wang Hu agreed calmly.

He knew the reason behind Silly Girl’s mockery because he had told Silly Girl a lot of things during moments of boredom.

Such as how the fewer alliances there were, the more united the humans would be.

Progress would only come after they had experienced pain; this was exactly what human nature was like.

To Silly Girl, she naturally looked down on and despised them very much for it.

“When they merge, the India Alliance will definitely invite you for the ceremony. Will you attend it?” asked Di Baijun as though she was just making a casual mention out of boredom.

“What would I go there for? Of course not,” replied Wang Hu without any hesitation whatsoever.

The Germany Alliance had also invited him for the ceremony when the Italy Alliance merged with them. To be honest, the twelve alliances had all invited Wang Hu when they were established back then. It was just that he had rejected them all.

To be really honest, he had been rather curious and tempted. After all, occasions like those weren’t commonplace.

However, when he thought of how it wasn’t suitable for him to take part because of his position, he had promptly rejected them all.

It was no exception this time either, of course.

Di Baijun didn’t think much about it either. It was just a casual question anyway.

A few days later, true enough, Te Bajing called. He informed him that the Australia Alliance was going to merge with the India Alliance and also invited him for the ceremony.

Wang Hu rejected his invitation aloofly. Then, the phone call ended.

After that, the merger incident triggered another storm among the citizens of the various human alliances.

The tension and pressure became increasingly grave and heavy.

Half a month later, Dong Pingtao personally gave Wang Hu a call.

There was an unconcealable heavy weight in his voice. “Your Excellency, after discussing this with the others, we’ve decided to make a compromise with some alternate worlds.”

Wang Hu’s gaze flickered. He understood very well what Dong Pingtao was saying.

This meant that the humans were no longer able to bear the pressure. Some alternate worlds were going to officially invade and establish their footholds on Earth.

Earth would become even more dangerous, and all the species from the various worlds would be battling one another on Earth.

After just a second of silence, Wang Hu said calmly, “I’ve noted it.”

This wasn’t something he could prevent. Neither was there anyone on Earth who could. There were too many alternate worlds out there, and they were simply too strong.

“I’m very sorry,” Dong Pingtao said apologetically.

“Is there anything else?” Wang Hu didn’t follow up on the apology whose meaning he was well aware of.

“No, there isn’t. Ten days later, we’ll officially allow some alternate world species to enter Earth.

“Please be prepared for it, Your Excellency,” said Dong Pingtao sincerely.

The phone call ended. Wang Hu stopped thinking about it after musing over it for a while.

It was pointless to think any further about it. He would just quietly keep an eye on those alternate world species and see what kind of chaos they would make.

However, he also sent an order to Ji.

They were to closely monitor all the species that would enter Earth soon.

On the third day, a lot of news related to the matter suddenly appeared in the eight alliances.

The news said that some alternate worlds were going to come into Earth and set up camp, so they wanted the people to act even more carefully, cultivate even more diligently, and so on.

A lot of things, such as flight schedules and so on, were also changed as a result.

In the room in Tiger King’s Cave…

Both husband and wife temporarily halted their daily cultivation and started to surf the Internet on their respective cell phones.

This had nearly become a habit by now.

Wang Hu lost interest after surfing for a while. He looked at Silly Girl.

Then, he realized that she was playing games on her cell phone. After taking a couple of looks, he lost even more interest.

She could obviously move faster than the cell phone’s reaction, yet her technique was still as lousy as ever. It made him feel like saying something if he continued to watch.
