My Fierce Tigress Wife - Chapter 122
Chapter 122: Subduing Panther King
Give them a beating first without giving any warning… and then threaten them.
Wang Hu believed that, with this method, there would be few Transformation Realm beings from other species that could refuse.
The reason was simple. For most species on Earth, they didn’t have a strong sense of concept about species.
Or rather, instead of saying that they didn’t have a concept of species, it should be said that it wasn’t strong—not to the extent of choosing to die rather than being subordinate to another species.
They were born only to survive and reproduce.
Even if their human intelligence were activated, it did not change. They wouldn’t suddenly develop the strong notion of ‘creatures of other species must have opposing interests’.
They believed more strongly in the law of nature where the strong were respected—they should survive and listen to the strong.
Further indoctrination and influence from an environment were required for the development of the concept of species and the forging of a strong bond.
This was the main reason why Wang Hu established the tiger rules and regulations to influence the tigers’ way of thinking.
Now, the black bear was subdued. Jun Yong also gained invaluable experience from this fight. Many birds were killed with one stone.
As for the injuries of the black bear, it was nothing severe. Even if Wang Hu just left the bear to his own devices, his injuries would recover in no time based on the physique and speed of recovery of a Transformation Realm.
After all, the injuries were nothing critical.
His expression turned even sterner. Coupled with a golden flash, he landed in front of the black bear, Wang Liang, and others.
“My lord!”
Wang Shan and the tigers immediately lowered their heads to show submission, and they greeted Wang Hu as their King, including Wang Liang and Wang Shan.
Black bear recovered some of his spirits after knowing that he did not have to die. He looked up in awe and with some confusion.
Growl~!
“You are the Northern Tiger King?”
“Impertinent! How dare you not bow to the King?” Jun Wen frowned and reprimanded.
In an instant, Wang Shan and Jun Yong’s death stare looked over, appearing to be ready to pounce and kill anytime.
The black bear was frightened, and without any hesitation, he crouched down with his head touching the ground to show submission.
Growl~!
“My lord.”
Wang Hu nodded calmly and said, “You know about my Dao form?”
They have met before under the introduction of the Chinese. Wang Hu was still at the Transformation Realm back then, and this bear had no chances of seeing Wang Hu’s Dao form.
The black bear did not dare to hide a thing and said truthfully.
Growl~!
“I know from the Chinese Internet that everyone calls you the number-one in this world.”
As he spoke, he appeared even more respectful.
Wang Hu was not surprised. That was the only way that this black bear would know about his Dao form.
“Do you have a name?”
The black bear nodded and said submissively.
Growl~!
“I saw that all the Chinese had one, so I also gave myself a name called Hei Da.”
Wang Hu frowned and said in an unassailable tone, “From now on, since you are now my subordinate and Hei Da does not sound pleasant to the ears; I will give you a new name—Xiong Hei.”
The black bear was taken aback but had no courage to refuse, so he readily accepted.
Growl~!
“Yes, my lord.”
“Do you have a family, wife, or kids?” Wang Hu asked again.
The black bear nodded.
“Bring them along and follow me,” Wang Hu said with authority.
The black bear immediately nodded and did not hesitate. He was pleased to be able to be with his wife and children.
With a wave of his hand, Wang Hu’s divine power entered the black bear’s body, which stopped the bleeding and healed his wounds.
Once the divine power disappeared, the black bear was delighted at the discovery that he had regained much of his strength and was feeling much better.
Growl~!
“Thank you, my lord.”
Wang Hu nodded. The age-old carrot-and-stick approach never failed.
By making his appearance to heal the bear’s wounds after Old Second and Old Third gave him a beating, he was able to win the bear over. Regardless if it was useful or not, it was still good even if it was useful for just a little.
Moreover, it was an attitude he must have.
“Bring me to your home. I will send your family to the destination later.”
The black bear agreed and led the way.
What happened next was simple. They met the black bear’s wife and child, and Wang Hu personally brought them back home and placed them under the guidance of Silly Girl.
Wang Hu then came back again and spent about half an hour back and forth. He continued his journey to look for and subdue other Transformation Realm species with the four tigers.
The territory was 1,500 kilometers long and 300 kilometers wide, and the total area was about 450,000 square meters.
Without a doubt, it was not an easy task to comb the territory.
Time passed quickly, and Wang Hu and the four tigers had already been out for half a month.
During the period, they had sent back eight Transformation Realms. To their surprise, one of the eight beings was even a tiger who had just broken through.
On this day, Wang Hu and the four tigers arrived at the top of a valley, and he looked down intriguingly.
Growl~!
“Big Brother, it’s the panther from before! Let me handle it. I will make her submit to us.”
Wang Shan roared, in excitement to battle.
Wang Hu did not look at him. He took a good look at the panther and was surprised.
This panther was pretty good.
He thought for a moment and agreed. In a wave of his hand, he signaled the four tigers to go down.
Just then, the Panther King—which Wang Hu had intended to subdue back then—sensed something amiss. She stared icily at the top of the valley and was on her guard, growing cautious.
In the next moment, the four tigers appeared around her in all four directions. She snarled to send warnings, and her five-meter-tall body was ready to take flight.
Growl~!
“Panther, let me give you a good lesson today.”
Wang Shan roared and pounced at her.
Wang Shan reached 5.1 meters and was the biggest out of the four tigers. He was also confident of being the strongest of them all. He did not know why, but his desire to fight grew stronger by the day.
The Panther King’s eyes grew even colder, and her arctic-like frosty aura grew stronger and denser.
She seemed fearless and faced the attack head-on.
In the blink of an eye, they ran into each other. However, the Panther King did not intend to fight directly as she avoided Wang Shan’s paw and bolted into the distance.
Wang Liang and the rest were taken by surprise, and they quickly gave chase.
Wang Shan was furious—she escaped!
The four tigers chased after one panther in the forest.
Growl~!
“Stop right there! Let’s duel!”
“Let’s fight! We won’t kill you.”
Wang Shan and the rest shouted, but the Panther King naturally did not believe them. Soon, they ran for tens of kilometers.
However, Wang Liang and the rest had not shortened the distance between them and the panther. Instead, they even lagged behind.
Wang Hu shook his head as he watched from above. Wang Liang and the group had let their guard down.
After successfully subduing seven Transformation Realms, they thought they would succeed again this time.
Indeed, there were no Transformation Realms in this forest that were capable of defeating the four tigers. However, if they couldn’t fight, they could always run.
The seven Transformation Realms before this could not outrun Wang Liang and the group, but this female panther could.
Wang Hu looked on and saw that the panther was about to shake off Wang Liang and the group. Then, he moved.
He originally intended for the female panther to give Wang Liang and the group a lesson. Although the lesson was quite different from the one he imagined, the goal was achieved.
He achieved his goal, and he also did not want this female panther to escape.
Out of all the Transformation Realms he came across so far, this female panther was most ideal.
Without a sign, Wang Hu’s figure appeared in front of the Panther King. The panther’s ice-cold eyes were finally filled with another emotion—shock.
In the next moment, her flexible body came to an abrupt halt, and she looked extremely cautiously at this human figure that appeared in front of her with shock and fear.
Wang Hu’s face was expressionless. His hands were placed behind his back, and he stood dominantly. Even if he did nothing, the Panther King could sense a palpable pressure weighing down on her, making her feel even more fearful. She was even afraid of continuing to run.
Her instincts told her that she could not escape at all.
At this point, Wang Liang and the rest finally caught up, and they lowered their heads when they saw Wang Hu.
“My lord, we let our guards down,” Wang Liang apologized first.
Wang Shan was rather embarrassed, and he did not dare to speak much, except to look at the Panther King with disgruntlement.
Wang Hu ignored them and said coolly to the Panther King. “Do you remember me?
The Panther King was silent for a moment before her cold and wary voice was heard.
Growl~!
“You are the Northern Tiger King?”
Wang Hu nodded.
The Panther King did not put away her wariness even though she already realized that it was futile no matter how on guard she was. Yet, she remained wary, clearly showing her strong will. She roared.
Growl~!
“What do you want?”
Wang Hu went straight to the point. “Submit to me. What do you think?”
The Panther King was silent for a few seconds, and she continued to speak coldly.
Growl~!
“Why must I submit to you?”
“Because you are weaker than me, and I can kill you anytime,” the Tiger King said unceremoniously.
The Panther King was silent, but fear was not seen in her eyes anymore.
Wang Hu paused and added, “And I can give you protection, and the best resources and environment for you to become stronger.
“You can make your own choice.”
Wang Liang’s and Jun Wen’s eyes wandered. They realized that Big Brother (Tiger King) placed quite a deal of importance on this Panther King. If not, he wouldn’t have said so much.
Wang Shan also took notice, but he grumbled to himself, thinking that Big Brother had valued this female panther too much: What’s so great about her?
She was undeserving of the attention.
Instantly, he looked at the Panther King with more animosity.
She’s the same as Jun Wen and the fox; what’s so great about them? Why does Big Brother value them?
The Panther King was silent for a few seconds, and she said coldly.
Growl~!
“Fine. But once my combat power surpasses yours, I will leave.”
Wang Liang looked at her strangely and sympathetically… while Jun Wen, Wang Shan, and Jun Yong expressed their contempt.
A slight smile formed at the corners of Wang Hu’s lips. He bellowed imposingly, “Okay.”
The Panther King finally put away her wary posture and lowered her head to show submission.
Growl~!
“Greetings to my lord.”
Wang Hu nodded. He was in a pleasant mood and said, “Do you have family?”
Growl~!
“No.”
The Panther King’s voice was emotionless and as icy as snow.
“What about your name?” Wang Hu asked. He already started to think about the names he should give her.
Growl~!
“Ling Shuang.”
The Panther King said coldly.
Wang Hu considered for a moment: it was neither bad nor particularly good. Eventually, he decided not to change her name and leave it as Ling Shuang.
“Pack your stuff and follow me.”
As per normal, he sent Ling Shuang back home to Silly Girl and returned.
After seeing the four tigers, Wang Hu’s face turned stern.
The four tigers were afraid of saying anything and lowered their heads.
“Four versus one, yet you still let her run away. Good job,” Wang Hu said sarcastically.
Wang Hu did not want to embarrass them in front of Ling Shuang, so he didn’t say much just now. However, it didn’t mean that he would let go of the opportunity to give them a lesson.
Growl~!
“Big Brother, we were careless, and we let our guard down.”
Wang Shan couldn’t help but say, making Wang Liang and Jun Wen look at him and curse under their breaths.
Stupid (fool)!
Wang Hu snickered and glared at Old Third. “You were careless, and you don’t feel ashamed?”
Wang Shan lowered his head and did not dare to continue.
Wang Hu glared at this fool again and could not be bothered to reprimand him again.
For this rascal, scolding was useless; only by beating could he remember his lesson temporarily.
He should wait for another day when he’s in a bad mood to give this one a beating.
He looked at the four tigers and continued to speak dominantly, “Let me remind you: there are more and more Transformation Realms under me now, and all of them are talented and strong.
“I will be giving them the resources they deserve. If you do not work hard and get surpassed by them… hmph! Then, you have embarrassed the tiger species, especially me.”
“Big Brother, please do not worry. We promise to work hard cultivating and will not let the combat power of other species surpass ours,” Wang Liang immediately guaranteed.
Jun Wen followed suit. “My lord, you are right. Our Tiger King has just started to rise. Not including the King and Queen, our tiger species must also be strong enough to control the non-tiger subordinates.
“My lord, please be assured that we will work hard to cultivate and will not embarrass the tiger species and our King.”
Wang Shan and Jun Yong echoed. Meanwhile, Wang Liang took a side glance at Jun Wen and felt a little uncomfortable.
Did I sense it wrongly?
Why do I get the feeling that this guy has ulterior motives?
Never mind. I better test him next time. Old Third seems to dislike him, too. Maybe I can also get Old Third to stop sparring with me in the future.
Wang Hu kept his comments to himself and continued to say coldly, “No point in saying all that. I will only look at your performance.”
He concluded and continued his search for more Transformation Realm beings.
In a blink of an eye, more than 10 days passed. At the same time, at the world conference, the countries who had disputed for almost a month finally reached a consensus under the leadership of the Big Five countries and decided on the World Allied Forces, or to be more accurate—Human Countries’ Allied Forces.
The first part of the plan was for each country to send out soldiers to form three-million-strong allied forces in two months and to train the troops for two months.
Then, the troops would be sent to smaller countries and regions and remote places to guard against the alternate worlds.
Once the plan was set, some countries rejoiced while others did not. However, regardless of what they thought, every country on Earth began to take action to prepare for the first allied forces.
Around the world, all kinds of opinions were voiced… from criticisms to praises.
“This is the World Allied Forces? There are 3 million soldiers… yet, 2.8 million soldiers were sent by smaller countries, and only 200,000 soldiers were sent by the big countries. What a joke.”
“I think it’s logical… since the big countries have a larger land area and they have to guard against the alternate worlds that are present in their own countries, too. It’s good enough that they were able to send people, various resources, and weapons.”
“All hail the World Allied Forces! May the relationship between all the human countries become better and more united.”
