My Fierce Tigress Wife-Chapter 79 - Do You Think You’re the Only Quick-Witted One Here?

Chapter 79: Do You Think You’re the Only Quick-Witted One Here?

The Panther King didn’t let its guard down one bit. There was a sense of beauty all around the Panther King. Its muscles—filled with an explosive power—were taut and tense, ready to spring into action and erupt with astonishing power anytime.

Roar~!

“Discuss? Is this the attitude of someone here to discuss matters?”

A frosty feeling like that of ice and snow rushed toward them as it exhibited its intense distrust of them to the fullest.

For a moment, Wang Ming found himself somewhat at a loss for words. So many tigers coming here at the same time certainly didn’t seem as if they were any sincere in having a discussion.

However, it wasn’t like there was anything he could do about it either.

He could only adopt the sincerest expression he could muster and say, “Your Excellency, please trust us. We, China, have already reached an agreement with His Excellency the Tiger King beforehand that there will be no violent confrontations. This is just a discussion.”

The Panther King kept quiet. It wasn’t going to believe Wang Ming so easily, of course.

Wang Ming was about to speak again when a look from Wang Hu immediately stopped him.

Then, the domineering and powerful icy gaze landed onto the Panther King once more.

Roar~!

“Alright, I’m not here to discuss anything with you… but to inform you that, from this point on, this whole region—spanning hundreds of thousands of square kilometers—has now become this king and his tigers’ territory.

“You may live here, but if you hurt any of the tigers or dare so much as to fight with the tigers for food, I will kill you. Do you understand me?”

His imposing and aloof voice was as if he was just narrating something so trivial that it wasn’t even worth mentioning. Only that domineering pressure of his that weighed down like a mountain filled the area within several hundred meters of where they were.

Wang Ming and the other two humans instantly felt as though they couldn’t breathe. The cold and distant Panther King directly facing Wang Hu also took quite a few steps back as though in alarm.

Hints of reverence were mixed in between alarm and uncertainty—this was a sense of reverence toward power and death.

In tandem with Wang Hu’s words, the tigers also started to glare even more balefully at the Panther King.

It was as though they were ready to pounce forward and rip the Panther King into innumerable pieces the moment it refused to acquiesce to the demand or at Wang Hu’s command.

Three seconds later, under Wang Hu’s intent gaze, the frosty Panther King lowered its head and expressed that it had understood.

Wang Hu suppressed the bit of temptation that had arisen in him, turned around, and left without any hesitation. Every movement of his was filled with a cold and haughty sense of domineeringness.

The other tigers also turned and followed after him.

The unparalleled might weighing down on them—together with the incredibly quick and efficient discussion—took Wang Ming and the other two humans by surprise, and they couldn’t quite react for a moment there.

However, thereafter, Wang Ming immediately nodded and said apologetically, “Your Excellency, please have trust in China. We absolutely harbor no ill intentions. We’re just bringing His Excellency, the Tiger King here to discuss the matter with you and will not threaten your safety. We’ll take our leave now.”

Then, he paused for a moment before he brought the other two with him and caught up to the tigers, leaving behind the cold and aloof Panther King whose wariness hadn’t diminished in the least.

Its eyes followed the figure that had brought the Panther King pressure that it had never experienced before as the Tiger King went far into the distance.

Then, it went back into its cave right away, did a simple pack of its things, and quickly left.

Elsewhere, after they had traveled some distance away, Wang Shan couldn’t quite resist asking something on his mind.

Roar~!

“Why didn’t you kill that panther, Big Brother?”

The sincerity in his voice indicated his plain failure to understand the reason why, as well as his willingness to kill the Panther King. He wasn’t concerned about the subtle changes in Wang Ming and the other two humans’ facial expressions when they caught up to them at all.

Wang Hu cast a glance at him and gave him a dispassionate reply.

Roar~!

“Since I’ve already agreed to the conditions, I naturally won’t go back on my word.”

Wang Ming and the other two humans breathed a small sigh of relief.

Wang Shan was still puzzled, however. With an honest and simple air around him, he asked another question.

Roar~!

“Big Brother, you may have promised that you won’t kill the Panther King, but we didn’t, right? You can’t attack it, but we can, can’t we?”

Startled, Wang Ming and the other two humans couldn’t help but look at Wang Shan strangely.

Wang Hu, who was also taken aback, glanced at him again.

Heh, what a quick-witted little one you are, huh!

Then, a sharp look came over his eyes, and he gently chastised his brother.

Roar~!

“This king represents the Northern Tigers. My word is equivalent to all the Northern Tigers’ word. Do you understand now?”

Wang Shan immediately lowered his head and replied honestly.

Roar~!

“Yes, I understand now.”

He understood what the words meant on the surface, but he was still rather confused about the underlying meaning.

Wang Hu’s words put Wang Ming and the other two humans’ hearts completely at ease. The Tiger King was someone that understood reason after all.

Wang Hu subtly glanced at them before he then secretly glared at Old Third.

Dumbass.

You shouldn’t say that in front of the Chinese even if that’s what you’re thinking. Do you think you’re the only quick-witted one here?

Roar~!

“Big Brother, you—”

Roar~!

“Shut up and walk.”

Wang Shan had only just spoken when Wang Hu forcibly cut his words off. Although he didn’t understand why Big Brother had glared at him just now, he didn’t dare to speak anymore. He obediently grunted and continued to walk on in a well-behaved manner.

Wang Hu didn’t pay any more attention to that idiot. Instead, he was sighing inwardly and wavering over something.

It was too bad that people from China were with them at the moment. Otherwise, he could have tried to get the panther to submit to him.

That was right—he had become tempted.

It was very likely that he would also take in animals from other species as his subordinates in the future. Besides, panthers were actually also considered the tigers’ distant relatives. In addition, every animal that could attain the Transformation Realm at this point in time was undoubtedly a real genius.

In this current situation where he desperately needed and sorely lacked subordinates, he had become tempted.

Subduing that panther would undoubtedly be of significant help to him at this point.

Unfortunately, the Chinese were here so he couldn’t force the panther into submission.

As for trying to subdue it via friendly persuasion…

That was never part of his plans. They were all overlords of the forest; who would submit to another for no good reason?

In Mother Nature, there was only one way to subdue other animals—forcing them into submission through sheer power.

No matter how cold and distant that panther was, it still had to obey Mother Nature’s laws.

Besides, it wasn’t a problem even if it refused to submit to him. It was just as well that he took the opportunity to eliminate the threat then.

Every Second Realm existence from other animal species was an obvious threat in his territory at this point.

Not only was there a chance that they would harm the tigers, but they might also fight with the tigers for food, thereby affecting the tigers’ growth and development.

Thus, he had no qualms about eliminating all the animals from other species that had attained the Transformation Realm in his territory.

There was no so-called issue about whether this was considered an act of brutality or not—this was the carnivores’ law in Mother Nature. All other animals were food.

However, it still went back to the same thing: the Chinese were here. They had already given him a lot of respect by bringing him to the other Transformation Realm-level animals’ homes. This was already tantamount to them offending those animal kings for his sake.

Should he kill those animal kings in front of them, it would be akin to him openly falling out with them right away.

He would never do that, of course.

Respect was something mutually given. It wasn’t worth falling out with them over something as trivial as this. Thus, he didn’t intend on hurting any animal kings that he would soon meet either.

As for approaching the animal kings by themselves instead of having the Chinese lead them over, the Tigers hadn’t become strong enough to do that yet.

Only by having the Chinese lead them over would he be able to locate those animal kings and give them warnings.

As for other matters, he could only think about them again in the future instead.

After they left the area, they continued to advance along the pre-planned route and cast their net throughout the spacious territory.
