My Fierce Tigress Wife

Chapter 109: The Fastest Way to Get Rich

Wang Hu looked at him, and Zhang Yuan subconsciously looked away to avoid his gaze—it was just simply too stressful.

The feeling of hierarchy… to face someone whose life was a higher standard than their own felt like an infant facing their mortal enemy or even a mortal facing deities. One couldn’t help but feel in awe.

Even if Zhang Yuan was already one of the strongest cultivators in China right now and was trained for many years, it was something he couldn’t stop.

“Lead the way.”

Wang Hu spoke with coldness and indifference.

Zhang Yuan nodded and pointed in a direction. Gold light flashed, and their figures were gone.

About 600 kilometers away, in a remote place, three figures in camouflage outfits—which blended into the forest—were hiding within a huge, hollowed tree several meters long in diameter.

Two of them stared intently at the surveillance monitor in front of them to watch a cave a hundred meters away while one person stood guard.

“What do you guys think about staking out Hui Number Five? What’s the point? Could it be that we will be hunting him?” One guy asked softly while staring intently at the monitor.

For missions like these which involved surveillance from a distance away, chatting on the job was part and parcel of the process as it helped them stay focused.

“I think so,” another person replied softly.

“But there don’t seem to be other plans,” the first guy wondered as it confused him.

“Who knows? Perhaps this time, there is no need to plan anything. Maybe someone reached the Third Realm and wants to have a go at it,” the third person joked.

“Stop kidding. It’s impossible to break through so quickly,” the second person said nonchalantly.

“Haha, why not? Norms don’t apply to geniuses. And even if someone did, it would be top secret, it would be normal if we didn’t know,” the third man said with a serious expression.

The second man pursed his lips, appearing to find joy in rebuking, and said, “Hui Number Five is a powerful cultivator at the Second Floor. Even if someone did break through, why would they attempt to fight him?”

“Regardless if someone breaks through, I just hope our country will quickly kill this Hui Number Five.

“Goddamn it, every time I see a Hui, I just want to kill them,” the first man cursed.

“Agree.”

“Agree.”

“We have watched him like a hawk. There will definitely be action this time,” the second man added.

Suddenly, the communication light blinked. The three of them immediately turned serious.

“Team Five, report the situation.”

A stern voice was heard, and immediately, the first man spoke clearly with a lowered voice, “This is Team Five. Everything is normal, everything is normal. Number Five is still in his lair, Number Five is still in his lair. Over.”

“Okay, in the next three minutes, if Number Five leaves the lair; report immediately. Otherwise, do not care about anything else.”

“Understood.”

They responded, and the three of them stopped their conversation, staring intently at the monitor.

After two minutes, all of a sudden, a golden light flashed across the monitor and entered the cave.

“What is that?”

The first man exclaimed.

“A golden light.”

The second man replied seriously.

The two of them looked at each other, realizing that this was what Captain meant by no need to care about anything else.

Instantly, the communication signal lit up again, and the voice was heard.

“Next up, Team Five’s mission is to watch closely and report any unusual activity. At the same time, get ready to pack your stuff and retreat.”

“Understood.”

…

In a huge cave located in a thousand-meter-tall mountain, a golden light flashed into the depths of the cave.

On a stone chaise lounge in the deepest part of the cave, a Hui—as big as a hill—sat. He breathed heavily, inhaling and exhaling a large amount of spiritual energy. Clearly, he was in the middle of cultivation.

Suddenly, his divine senses that were scattered around the cave picked up movements of someone dashing in. He grew shocked, stopped cultivating, and gathered his power.

“Who—?!”

Just as he began bellowing, golden light filled his vision. Before he could act, an intense pain coming from his neck struck his soul and caused the energy he had just gathered to dissipate. His divine elixir trembled, and he was unable to move.

“Ahhh!”

He shrieked in pain, but before he could dash out of the cave, he was blocked by a force.

The golden light faded a little, and the Hui glared painfully at it. He saw a Dao form figure in front of him staring back at him with nothing but coldness in the figure’s eyes.

The figure raised his right hand, and a huge paw of a beast pressed onto the Hui’s skull, the sharp claws penetrating the neck.

Incredibly strong divine power was entering the Hui’s body and weakening his vitality.

“Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?”

The voice that was filled with pain and resentment was coupled with telepathic thought. Even if the language was different, the meaning was clear.

“My wife’s body is weak and requires some nutrition.”

A cold voice with indisputable dominance was heard.

The Hui understood; he didn’t think that it was wrong. The weak would become prey. It was a logic that he understood since he was young.

However, understanding did not stop him from feeling resentment.

He had worked so hard cultivating to finally reach this level and became the strongest in this area. Who knew that he would be killed when he just stayed at home and did nothing? He didn’t even have a chance to defend himself.

He felt aggrieved.

However, it was no use no matter how aggrieved he felt. Wang Hu was uninterested in speaking to him, and his divine power rushed out to suck out the Hui’s vitality. A few seconds later, the first prey was completely killed.

Wang Hu withdrew his hand, and the Hui’s huge body fell to the stone chaise lounge lifelessly.

His gaze remained cold as if killing this Third Realm creature did not affect his emotions.

He moved his hand across, and golden light slashed the Hui’s abdomen open. He held out his hand, and a blood-red orb as big as a fist rose from the carcass and landed on his palm.

Wang Hu studied the orb. This was the divine elixir?

Usually, when living beings reach the Third Realm, their bodies would form a divine elixir to act as the source of their divine power.

He didn’t have one because the cultivation method that Silly Girl gave him was unique. His body was directly made into the source of his divine power, which meant that his body was the divine elixir.

This allowed his physical body to become even more compatible with his strength.

The blood and flesh of a Third Realm were highly nourishing items, and so was this divine elixir. However, the traces left behind by the living beings on their own divine elixirs were too much. If there was no suitable method, it was not ideal to simply swallow and digest them.

Without a doubt, it was also beneficial to Silly Girl’s recuperation.

He stored the divine elixir away and scanned the cave and the Hui’s carcass with his divine senses to check if there were any valuable items.

This was a world with a very long-standing cultivation history, and this Hui was a powerful Third Realm creature. It would be normal for him to have some valuable items.

Not long after, he finished searching all corners of the place and found a black bag. He was elated at the discovery, and his divine power—coupled with divine senses—entered the bag.

He sensed a unique vast space of about two cubic meters.

A space bag!

A smile appeared on his face; he did not expect that this Hui even had a space bag.

In the information that Silly Girl gave him, the existence of space bags was mentioned—also known as storage bags. It was made from crafting and was used conveniently to store items.

He looked through it, and there was nothing much inside. Just three jade-colored stones which contained extremely condensed spiritual energy.

These must be spirit stones—an object naturally produced in places that were dense in spiritual energy. It was extremely useful and regarded as a kind of natural material and treasure.

Earth currently did not produce these stones.

This Hui only had three stones, weighing around one and a half kilograms. It was a pretty good find.

Other than one and a half kilograms of spirit stones, there was nothing else useful in the space bag. Wang Hu stored the divine elixir in the space bag and placed the bag in his shirt pocket.

He looked at the carcass of the Hui again and exclaimed: “Indeed, only by plundering can one become rich in the fastest way possible, especially by plundering an alternate world.”

This Hui’s combat power was roughly in the beginning stages of the Second Floor—it was nothing to him.

Under Extreme Agility Time, the other party had no chance to react at all and received a rather heavy blow from him. With his strength special ability, his divine power was strengthened by four times, rendering the Hui powerless to defend himself.

This strength special ability was the third special ability that he gained from the Map of the Universe; Silly Girl used her origin blood and increased it to the second stage.

In the first stage, power was strengthened by two times, and in the second stage, power was strengthened by four times.

Its effect was slightly smaller than the perfected White Tiger Battle Art. It could also be seen from this that the White Tiger Battle Art that Silly Girl gave him was absolutely phenomenal.

With his power strengthened by four times, his power as a Second Floor directly reached that of a Third Floor’s, which was multiple times more than this Hui’s.

In addition, he had dealt the Hui a critical blow and left the other party unable to fend for himself throughout the entire process. It could be said that it was an instant kill.

Even though the Hui’s combat power was nothing to him, it gave him splendid rewards.

This was the benefit of plundering an alternate world.

This moment, even though he had only executed it once—no, this should be the second time. The first time was in the dinosaur world…

Wang Hu became tempted, and it made him remember the benefits that he gained in the dinosaur world.

He became restless with the desire to plunder alternate worlds.

If he wanted to become stronger even faster, plundering alternate worlds was indeed the fastest way.

His eyes shimmered, and he suppressed this extremely tempting thought.

Gold-colored divine power was unleashed again to digest and purify the meat and blood of this Hui.

The Hui’s hill-like carcass shrank quickly, and the body’s impurities were removed. A few seconds later, the 40-meter-tall Hui was left with just 64 cubic meters of meat which continued to shrink.

Finally, about 27 cubic meters of meat was left.

A strong fragrance emanated from the meat.

Reaching the Third Realm was a process of letting the Divine Body grow. One could only imagine how much nutrition was stored in the body. For ordinary beings, such meat was highly nourishing. It was the same for creatures in the same cultivation realm.

Wang Hu wrapped the highly nourishing meat with his divine power, sealed the fragrance, and brought it out of the cave.

A gold flash was seen shooting out from the cave, and the cave regained its peace as though nothing happened.

The three people of Team Five, who were monitoring through the screen, immediately reported this information.

“Calling for Captain! That gold flash came out, and the cave is still quiet,” the first man said with a hushed voice.

After half a minute of silence, the captain’s voice was heard, “All done. Retreat immediately.”

“Understood.”

Even though they were puzzled, the three men immediately responded and started to pack their belongings to retreat.

At the same time, after the communication channel was switched off, they couldn’t help but discuss in a lowered voice.

“What do you guys think that gold flash was?” The first man asked with a hint of curiosity and excitement.

“I may be right about the emergence of a Third Realm?” The third man said nervously; within the nervousness was a tinge of excitement.

None of the people picked to enter this alternate world to carry out missions were unintelligent. In fact, all of them were elites.

From what they saw, they could already make out a rough idea of what happened.

“But that Hui was at the Second Floor. Even if someone in China had reached the Third Realm, they would have broken through recently.

“Who was capable of killing that Hui so stealthily?

“Dong Yuhao? Or Li Dao?” The second man frowned and asked as he packed the belongings.

“Could it be Tiger King?” Suddenly, the third man asked hesitantly.

The other two men raised their brows, their first reaction being: ‘How would that be possible?’

However, immediately after, they thought again: ‘Why not?’

The three of them looked at each other and said nothing else. They finished packing their belongings and quickly retreated.

From their speed, all of them had reached the Second Realm.

…

Not far away, Wang Hu brought the meat to Zhang Yuan who was waiting for him a few miles away.

“Let’s go. Where is the second one?” Wang Hu asked.

Zhang Yuan looked at the meat that was wrapped with gold-colored divine power and couldn’t help but to ask, “Your Excellency, don’t you need to rest?”

“It’s not necessary right now,” Wang Hu said coolly.

“Okay. Then, let’s go to the second target,” Zhang Yuan spoke sternly as he tried his best to let his emotions subside.

However, he could not repress his thoughts that were filled with shock.

To kill a Second Floor Hui without making a sound… clearly, it was an instant kill… and now, he did not require any rest.

Was this the combat power of an advanced-level Fourth Floor?

The gap between their abilities was simply too huge; he had to report this information.

The actual gap in fighting prowess between each Floor was definitely bigger than imagined.

To put it another way, the prowess of the Northern Tiger King was so strong—it was unimaginable.

‘Unimaginably strong, extremely powerful…’ This phrase that cultivators used to describe the Tiger King among themselves was really accurate.

Gold ray flashed across the sky and disappeared into the distance.

After around two hours, Wang Hu arrived with Zhang Yuan at a mountain far away.

“Your Excellency, a Hui also resides here. His combat power is estimated to be at the Second Floor intermediate level. Your Excellency, please be careful,” Zhang Yuan said carefully.

Wang Hu’s cold expression did not change. He placed the meat on the ground and said, “Wait here.”

“Yes,” Zhang Yuan replied. A light flashed in front of his eyes, and the Tiger King disappeared.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief as the pressure he felt reduced tremendously. He turned to stare intently at the cave not far away.

He wanted to see for himself. If the Tiger King was still capable of killing such a strong opponent as quietly as before.
