My Fierce Tigress Wife - Chapter 62
Chapter 62: A Tool of a Fox, Spy
There was a rather silent atmosphere around them as Wang Hu brought Su Ling to where the Chinese squad of soldiers was stationed.
Wang Hu was thinking about how he should talk to Su Ling while Su Ling was also lost in her own thoughts.
She had been so frightened in the terrifying tiger den just now that she hadn’t dared to think too deeply at all.
After they left, she finally had the leisure to muse over it in detail.
Su Ling’s eyes, which had regained their usual quick-wittedness, swiveled left and right constantly as she followed behind Wang Hu with her head lowered. Suddenly, she raised her head and cast a quick glance at the demon lord walking in front of her before swiftly lowering it again.
It seemed like… the demon lord had a lower position at home than that vicious tigress!
The vicious tigress’s words were what counted the most.
The thought made her rather dejected. That tigress was simply too vicious. The tigress was always thinking of killing her and was harder to get along with than even the demon lord.
If she ever performed badly one day…
A shiver ran throughout her entire body as she frightened herself again.
A few seconds later, she shook her head hard. No, this wouldn’t do. She had to think of something… she had to think of something. She couldn’t just sit there and wait for death to befall upon her.
Should she secretly look for an opportunity to run?
No, no. Once her escape plan failed and she was caught, she would definitely die a terrible death in which not even a strand of her fur would be left in the world.
However, if she didn’t, according to Chinese television dramas; one would be bullied to death if they just sat still and waited for death to befall upon them when they were faced with such a vicious mistress of the house.
If the demon lord were to take a fancy to her and insist on her having his little tiger cubs, wasn’t it obvious that that vicious tigress would totally think of every way she could to bully her and her child if she really gave birth to tiger cubs?
Poisoning them, physically abusing them when the demon lord was out, and throwing the tiger cub away… driving both mother and child out of the house and refusing to give them even a little of the family’s financial assets…
Even if the tiger cub were to successfully grow up, it would undoubtedly be bullied by its elder brother, elder sister, and the mistress of the house… and end up in a situation where it could neither sufficiently fill its stomach nor keep itself warm…
On top of that, when the demon lord died, she would be at an even bigger loss as to how to deal with them.
Bit by bit, her thoughts strayed further and further. In no time, it had reached the point where the tiger cub born to her couldn’t even cultivate when it grew up because it didn’t have any family financial assets.
Wang Hu, who was walking in front, was unaware of how far the thoughts of the fox behind him—someone whom he thought of as a tool—had reached during this short duration of time.
Having thought of what to say, he then spoke aloofly and imposingly.
Roar~!
“Su Ling, you’ve met my wife. How do you find her?”
Brought from her endless fantasizing back to reality, Su Ling jumped in shock and hastily said without any hesitation, “My lord, Her Majesty is awe-inspiring and imposing and is the most beautiful person in the world.”
Wang Hu’s lip corners drew back into a smile.
What a bootlicking fox.
Roar~!
“Yeah, that’s right. However, in terms of her personality, the missus can indeed be rather domineering and rash. You must perform your duties properly; otherwise, you know what the consequences will be if you displease her.”
Su Ling felt like crying right away. An incredibly aggrieved Su Ling replied, “I understand.”
Roar~!
“Of course, as long as you perform your duties well, I’ll naturally be able to protect you. Understand?” said Wang Hu dispassionately.
Su Ling blinked. It would do as long as he could guarantee her life. She immediately said with agitation. “Thank you, my lord. I’ll definitely do my duties properly.”
Wang Hu frowned. Had that tool of a fox really understood what he was saying?
Ah, well. He might as well be a little more specific in his words lest anything went awry with that tool of a fox that was as timid as a mouse.
Roar~!
“I’m sure you have also sensed it even if I don’t say it, but the missus is prejudiced against Foxes.”
A sudden rude awakening came over Su Ling. She thought back to what that vicious tigress had said just now and immediately nodded.
He was right. That vicious tigress was prejudiced against the entire Fox species so it was useless even if the fox tried to please her.
In a split-second, fear arose in her again.
Roar~!
“But it still goes back to the same thing—as long as you perform your duties well, I’ll be able to preserve your life no matter what.”
“Thank you, my lord. I’ll do my duties well for sure,” replied Su Ling resolutely as she nodded repeatedly like a little chick pecking at grains.
Roar~!
“Yeah, remember this—in the future, on the surface, you can do what the missus says first… but secretly, you can only do what I say first.
“No matter what kind of secretive talk the missus engages in or what she does, as long as it’s something that I don’t know of, you must inform me of it.
“More importantly, you must accomplish everything that I instruct you to do. Understand?” Wang Hu said in a rather placid manner.
Su Ling became confused right away. She couldn’t help but feel like the situation he had described didn’t sound quite right. For a moment there, she couldn’t quite compute what was going on.
When Wang Hu didn’t hear any reply from her, he stopped in his tracks and turned around.
Still in a daze, Su Ling almost walked into him. She was still trying hard to steady herself when she looked into those cold eyes of his.
Instantly, all the strength in her disappeared, and she fell limp onto the ground. It was as if every strand of fur on her had frozen from the aura of death, not to mention both of her furry tails that had become stiff and straight.
“M… M… My… My lord…”
Her teeth chattered as terror took over her.
The look in Wang Hu’s eyes remained the same. All the might and killing intent in him gushed forth.
It was only after a whole dozen or so seconds later when he saw that the timid tool of a fox was close to passing out from fear that he spoke coldly.
Roar~!
“Didn’t you hear what I said just now?”
Right away, Su Ling regained some strength, and she quickly replied, “I did, I did. I’ll definitely do exactly as you said.”
Her voice had become even more high-pitched and thin.
Roar~!
“Remember this for life—I can protect you if the missus wants to kill you, but if I’m the one that wants to kill you, nobody can save you.”
Not daring to think of any other things anymore, Su Ling nodded furiously and said resolutely, “Yes, yes. I will only listen to my lord’s orders in the future. Whatever my lord tells me to do is whatever I will do.”
Roar~!
“Yeah, that’s more like it. Keep every line that I said just now firmly in your mind, but don’t ever be stupid enough to tell the missus. There’ll only be one outcome for you if she ever knows about it.”
After speaking aloofly to her, Wang Hu turned around and continued walking ahead.
Su Ling hurriedly mustered up her courage and followed after him, though she was still in a total panic inwardly.
The demon lord was too scary just now!
Instinct told her that he really would eat her if she didn’t agree to his orders.
That was simply too terrifying!
As expected, she had been wrong just now. The demon lord didn’t lose out to the vicious tigress in the least.
When her emotions stabilized a little more, a sudden realization struck her—the demon lord was telling her to work undercover and be a spy!
On top of that, she was to work undercover as a spy at where the tigress was.
Should that vicious tigress ever realize…
A shudder came over her, and she shook all over again. She would be doomed for sure.
However, as she glanced at the demon lord in front of her, Su Ling silently hung her head. Little by little, despair started to well up within her.
She would definitely perish in that demon lord’s or that vicious tigress’s jaws sooner or later.
Grievances, indignation, fury…
A mix of various emotions arose in her, and she became somewhat withered and listless.
Wang Hu unwittingly caught a glance of her state, and his brows couldn’t help to lock together.
Roar~!
“What are you thinking about? If you perform your tasks well, I promise you’ll be safe and sound.”
Su Ling reflexively nodded and psyched herself up before she replied respectfully, “Yes. I wasn’t thinking of much. I was just thinking about how I can better accomplish the mission that my lord has given me.”
Wang Hu was satisfied by her response—what he wanted was exactly that ability to lie through her teeth without even batting an eyelid.
Otherwise, she probably really wouldn’t be able to keep things a secret from Silly Girl for long.
Heheh, with that tool of a fox now, not only could he give Silly Girl a little stimulus every once in a while, but he even had a little spy cooperating with him now.
He simply didn’t believe that he couldn’t conquer Silly Girl.
Even if he couldn’t conquer her during the Transformation Realm, he would definitely be able to when he reached the Divine Body Realm and graduated from the worldly state.
That’s right, he must completely conquer Silly Girl during the Divine Body Realm at the latest.
A confident Wang Hu secretly set his goal.
They didn’t talk much in the time that followed. Wang Hu brought Su Ling over to the stationed Chinese squad of soldiers and introduced her to them. She would be the one collecting their parcels in the future.
Then, after they returned home, he brought her into the dinosaur world and gave her some instructions such as when she should go hunting, how she was forbidden from hurting the tigers, where more dinosaurs could be found, and how much dinosaur flesh the family needed for a meal.
By the time he was done with all the instructions, another hint of despair had surfaced in Su Ling’s eyes.
Wang Hu ignored it. No matter how timid that tool of a fox was, she had ultimately still reached the Transformation Realm. Even if she wasn’t as good in battle as the tigers, she should still be fine dealing with the dinosaurs in the dinosaur world.
He left the dinosaur world and left Su Ling behind alone to start her first hunt in the dinosaur world.
When he reached home, he went straight to the cultivating Silly Girl and spoke seriously to her.
Roar~!
“Baijun, that fox has her own little ideas in her head. Let’s have a tracking device made for her. This way, even if she dares to escape, it’ll greatly increase our chances of catching her.”
Without any hesitation, Di Baijun gave him a grunt of acknowledgment the moment she heard his suggestion and gave her tacit approval.
That’s right. If she dared to run away, then they would catch her and eat her right away.
Roar~!
“Baijun, I saw that that fox can actually transform into the illusion of a human today. She’s surprisingly rather capable. You mustn’t be deceived by that ability of hers.”
At once, Di Baijun cocked an eyebrow contemptuously.
Roar~!
“Illusions and enchantment techniques are all that a mere Fox knows. They are but unsavory little tricks. How would she possibly be able to deceive me?”
Wang Hu nodded. Actually, he also thought the same way.
At least, that was exactly what Su Ling was showing so far.
With just a tiger roar, she had shown her true colors right away.
Roar~!
“Baijun, I heard from her that one can even transform into a human after they’ve forged their divine body and reached the Divine Body Realm?”
Wang Hu didn’t show any unusual emotions, and it seemed like he was just asking somewhat curiously.
Di Baijun was rather displeased. Did something like this even need to be said by that fox?
Roar~!
“Forging the divine body and achieving the Great Dao body—what is the Great Dao body?
“That’s the type of body that the earliest batch of mighty powerhouses in the All-Heaven Realm had slowly figured out after a lot of trial-and-error that best suits the natural world and has the best affinity with the Great Dao.
“The human form was created according to the Great Dao body’s outward appearance from the start. Therefore, even though humans are generally lousy in terms of their physical bodies and aptitudes, as a whole, their starting line is actually very high, and they are born with intelligence right from the start.
“Their cultivation rate in the early stages is faster compared to the majority of other species, and there are always large numbers of amazing cultivators in the late stages, too.”
Wang Hu nodded as he mused over it.
Roar~!
“What’s the use of the Great Dao body?”
Roar~!
“The Great Dao body is the body type that has the best affinity with the Dao itself so its use is naturally in the comprehension of the Dao.”
