Chapter 581 the tame little white

“Wow, so cute and adorable.”

Both girls spoke in unison as their eyes seemingly morphed into hearts.

Girls usually had very low resistance to cute pets and even forgot that the animal was a tiger.

It could not be denied that tigers—despite their fierceness—were very adorable when they were cubs. Otherwise, the phrase ‘head and brain of a tiger[1]’ would not have existed.

However, one among the three little tiger cubs was extremely conspicuous. It was completely different from ordinary tigers in that it was covered with snow-white fur, except for the black ‘king[2]’ character on its forehead!

Moreover, the white tiger’s eyes looked rather dull and languid, unlike the other two vitality-filled little tiger cubs.

The adult tiger’s eyes gently swept across its three cubs before tossing the fish to them.

The two little cubs immediately rushed forward and began nibbling on them. As for the white tiger, it merely sniffed the food before turning its head and collapsing uncomfortably on the ground.

The adult tiger picked up the white cub with a rather doleful look and placed it in front of Ye Lingchen. Then, it nodded unceasingly, as if pleading.

“Are you asking me to save the cub? ”

Ye Lingchen saw the adult tiger’s intentions, then held the little white tiger in his hand before looking carefully.

The little white cub blinked its eyes too. It was not afraid of him and looked at everyone curiously.

“Wow, a little tiger cub…”

“What’s wrong with it? It looks uncomfortable.”

The two women’s sympathy overflowed immediately, and they were incredibly distressed.

“Firstly, there was an inherent lack of blood and energy. There’s obviously variation in this white cub. The mother’s body isn’t enough to supply it with nourishment, and it suffered from a minor injury because of this,” Ye Lingchen quickly pointed out.

To put it simply, that cub was too powerful and its life force was too strong even for its own mother.

For example, some bigger characters would cause their mothers to have difficult labor during birth, perhaps causing hardships at home after they were born. They would burden their parents and make them go through hardships. That was due to their strong life force, which the world found intolerable.

Of course, an argument like that was very superstitious. From a scientific point of view, the tiger has a congenital deficiency due to natural variation and could not be raised with ordinary methods.

“Chairman Ye, can you save it?”

“God Ye, please think of something. This little guy is so pitiful.”

“No biggie.” Ye Lingchen smiled. He abstained from flamboyance as he covered White Tiger’s body with his hands.

He invoked his entire body’s aura and began channeling it into White Tiger’s body through his palm.

Congenital insufficiency of Qi was an extremely tricky problem for ordinary people. It could only be rectified by taking strong tonics such as ginseng, but the little tiger cub had a weak physique and supplements were unsuitable. There was no solution, but with Ye Lingchen’s spiritual aura, the problem did not exist.

As the spiritual energy entered its body, White Tiger’s eyes lit up slightly and showed a human-like look of surprise. It looked at Ye Lingchen curiously, then stopped lying on his stomach and stood up.

“Yelp, yelp, yelp!”

After a while, it emitted a meek little sound and moved its limbs. It then began to turn around on the spot.

Its joy could be felt by all three people. It was likely unable to move around properly ever since birth and had been constantly rolling on the ground.

“Little White, catch.”

Hao Yun was overjoyed and generously took out a fish to toss it over.

White Tiger leaped over lightly, then started opening its mouth to eat it bite-by-bite. Although its size was small, its appetite was so great that it managed to finish the entire piece alone.

The adult tiger’s eyes were filled with love. After walking to Little White’s side, the two tigers touched each other affectionately with their heads. Then, the tiger roared a few words and looked at Ye Lingchen before turning around and leaving with the other two little cubs in its mouth.

After a few leaps, the tiger jumped onto a rock ten meters away, turned around, and looked at them before disappearing into the woods without looking back.

“This, this is…” Both Dong Miaomiao and Hao Yun were a little dumbfounded that the little White Tiger was left behind.

“The tiger knows that she can’t feed this white tiger cub, so she entrusted it to me,” Ye Lingchen said bluntly, but he was very happy in his heart and held the white tiger in his hands.

He had been thinking about training more beasts and God granted his wish by sending him a small tiger cub. Moreover, it was a white tiger that had a bit of variation. If he trained it from a young age, it might be able to reach or even exceed the heights of Old Tortoise.

At that time, he had two of the Four Mythological Beasts—White Tiger and Black Tortoise.

“This white tiger has been given to us?” Hao Yun’s mouth was cracked. “Does this mean we’ll have a white tiger as our pet in the future? Wow, this is so cool!”

“To be precise, it’s me, not us.” Ye Lingchen corrected.

“Ahhhhhh, little tiger cub, come with me in the future okay? I’ll give you good stuff to eat and drink.” Hao Yun loved it so much that she wanted to snatch it away from Ye Lingchen.

“Little White, ignore the big sis. Dad will bring you back,” Ye Lingchen said with a smile.

Hao Yun was stunned for a while before realizing something. “F*CK! How dare you take advantage of me!”

The path down the mountain was more difficult to walk compared to going up the mountain. One had to carefully control the center of one’s gravity. Little Green and Little Gray would clear the way and they all walked straight down the mountain without stopping.

“Roar!”

As they were about to walk out of the forest, the roar of a tiger came from a distance.

Turning his head and looking around, a tiger was seen gazing toward them from the mountain…

“Little White, Little Green, and Little Gray. You’ll all be a family from now on and you must learn to love each other okay?” Ye Lingchen said to a tiger cub and two wolves.

Both Little Green and Little Gray nodded. Then, they raised their wolf paws and put them on Little White’s shoulder together, as if protecting it.

“Teehee, this is fun. Do you have to make things so interesting?” Hao Yun suddenly giggled when she saw that scene and she subsequently looked at Little White with brightened eyes. “Little White, come here. I have some dried fish here.”

However, Little White simply glanced at her and turned its head away without any reaction.

“Little White, come here.” Ye Lingchen only needed to call out faintly before Little White ran over and looked up at Ye Lingchen with googly eyes.

“Lay down!”

Little White immediately laid down.

“Sit down.”

Little White sat upright.

“Go and bring that fish to me.”

Little White immediately went over with glee and bit the fish.

Ye Lingchen glanced silently at Hao Yun, who had frozen in place. His silent taunting was very effective in piercing her heart.

“This has no scientific basis. How did you do it?” Hao Yun asked in a huff. She was so angry that her hair was about to stand on end.

“This is what you call natural charm. You can’t get it by being jealous,” Ye Lingchen smiled enigmatically.

The next day, Ye Lingchen remained on the island. He even built a recliner, enjoyed the sea breeze, ate seafood and game, and relaxed comfortably. It was pure bliss.

In his spare time, he would nourish Little White using spiritual energy every once in a while. In addition, he arranged a corresponding training plan for Little White and occasionally allowed Little White to follow the wolves to the forest to sharpen some skills.

As time passed, the Spring Festival Gala was getting closer and closer…
