Chapter 426: A Present

What…

Yagon frowned. He recognized the voice. It was the two-headed tiger.

Why was the creature here?

Yagon wondered if the tiger wanted to use this opportunity to kill him.

“That doesn’t sound nice.” Himmel Soan also recognized the voice. He was rather interested in the tiger and wanted to study it.

!!

The two heads had to share a body, which must be a difficult life for anyone.

The two minds were independent, so they could be fighting over who to control the body or whose turn it was to speak. However, the two-headed tiger seemed to have overcome that problem.

Himmel Soan was very curious.

“The two-headed tiger is always asking for trouble. He’s here now probably because he has found my weak spot and is confident that he can defeat me. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come here.

“I’ll be right back.” The red dragon went outside to confront the tiger.

Himmel Soan also came out to watch the show.

“Master!”

“Brother-in-law!”

Firey and Phoe each took one of Himmel Soan’s hands.

Phoe seemed preoccupied. “Brother-in-law, is Yagon going to be alright? The tiger suddenly decided to challenge him, and I’m worried.”

Himmel Soan smiled. “Do you doubt Yagon’s capability?”

“No, I don’t, but I also know the tiger would only do this if he’s absolutely certain. He must have something up his sleeves.”

“You have a point, but how do you know Yagon isn’t prepared for this? You’ve been guarding against the tiger all these years, haven’t you? Surely, you have some cards to play!”

Himmel Soan was certain and could tell the dragon and the tiger were both very capable.

Well…

At their cultivation stage, everybody would have a few cards up their sleeves. Phoe was no exception.

When Himmel Soan met Phoe, all she did was spit out fireballs of various sizes.

Was that all she could do?

Of course not!

Himmel Soan was sure Phoe could do many more things. Yagon would only know better!

In a moment of life or death, having more tricks would make all the difference. If the two-headed tiger had come here well-prepared, would Yagon really be caught off guard?

Of course not!

“But I’m still worried about him.” Phoe pouted.

“Don’t worry. As long as I’m around, that tiger can’t do anything.”

Himmel Soan looked up at the sky, wondering what battles between sacred beasts look like.

How would they fight? What skills would they use?

He could learn from these beasts.

The Soan empire was inspired by other species in their scientific research and established many theories.

He felt he would be inspired by the battle.

Up in the clouds, the tiger and the red dragon faced each other.

“Is the fire phoenix back?” The tiger’s stomach lurched.

He had caught a glimpse of someone resembling the phoenix when he announced his arrival. It really looked like her, but the tiger was too far away to be sure.

He had said he wanted to challenge the dragon and couldn’t take back his words now.

Why was the bird back so soon? Had she anticipated this?

That was so surreal. If the phoenix was back, they would have two more enemies. The spider would side with the phoenix!

That was the worst scenario, and he couldn’t believe it was happening. However, it was too late to back away.

“Yes. I see you’re worried about Phoe.” The red dragon chuckled.

“I do, but I’m more curious about when you’re going to die!” The tiger smirked.

“That won’t happen for a very long time, but I can’t say the same for you!” The red dragon’s face darkened as he glared at the tiger.

He didn’t want to do anything to the tiger. Having a double-faced creature around was a good thing. He could be a potential threat to the other side.

The dragon had been using the tiger as his pawn. However, the equilibrium got broken, and he had to take the tiger out.

“Hold on! Don’t be so grumpy! I have something for you. Maybe you’ll calm down a little when you see the present I’ve prepared for you.” The tiger clapped his hands, and another figure appeared in the air.

“You promised not to get me involved!” The three-eyed cat was displeased.

“Don’t worry about it. You’re only here to drop something off for me. You’re not involved,” the tiger said indifferently.

The three-eyed cat couldn’t enjoy the benefits without making her fair share of contributions. The tiger wouldn’t let that happen. He would get the cat involved no matter what.

Moreover, the cat was necessary for a particular part of this plan.

The three-eyed cat handed the tiger a black box in silence before hiding herself again. She knew the tiger was forcing her to pick a side. Since she would receive the benefits, she didn’t mind doing it. She only complained because she didn’t want the tiger to cross the line.

“Yagon, would you like to guess what present I have for you here?” The tiger smiled.

If one didn’t know better, one would think the two beasts were enjoying their conversation.

Yagon’s face was livid because he knew what was in the box.

“Piger, do you have a death wish?” Yagon’s voice was cold.

He was furious. He usually had a mild temper. It had been a while since he lost control. Even if he was angry, he never stayed angry for long.

Phoe had never seen him so furious.

“What’s wrong?”

She was frightened by Yagon’s anger.

It was terrifying!

The light dimmed.
