Old Patriarch Lu looked at the little white tiger cub in Feng Jiu’s arms with curiosity. When he heard her question, he smiled and replied: “We can set off any time. If we speed up our pace we can leave the mountains in about four to five days.”
After a pause, he looked at the little white tiger cub in Feng Jiu’s arms and asked hesitantly: “Young Brother Feng, I’m afraid that you will invite trouble if you carry this little white tiger cub down the mountain like that.”
White tigers were rarely sighted, let alone such a small milk tiger cub. Even if it has been contracted, it would no doubt cause unnecessary trouble to carry such a small white tiger cub into a crowded place.
If someone had its eye on it and wanted to rob him, he was afraid that he would bring death upon himself because of it. Because he got along so well with this young boy along their journey, he felt that he had to warn him.
“It’s only a little tiger cub, I’m sure it will be fine.” Feng Jiu said with a smile and narrowed her eyes, as if she didn’t understand the meaning of his words.
In actual fact, she had understood. Uncle Lu was afraid that when they entered the city, someone would have its eye on the little white tiger cub and attempt to snatch it and might even murder her for it.
However, hehe, who would dare snatch her things? And who would have the ability to do it?
“It’s always good to be careful. Why don’t you contract the little milk tiger cub first and then put it into the contract space? That way, it won’t attract the attention of others.” Old Patriarch Lu suggested. After all, if the spirit beast has been contracted, it could then enter the body’s contract space. It would also be more convenient that way.
“Well, we decide after we leave this forest! It’s still small right now and I have to think about finding something for it to eat!” She was a little distressed about this.
Such a small tiger cub would probably not even be able to ingest meat, so where could she find milk for it?
“Hehe, you can feed it water first. When you get to the city you can buy some goat’s milk or porridge water to feed it.” Old Patriarch Lu said. He beckoned to his men who cleaned up the fire and then proceeded to walk down.
After they had walked away, the tigress walked out of the forest and stood amongst the trees and watched from a distance. When she could no longer see them, she turned and leapt back into the depths of the forest…
They didn’t rest much throughout the rest of the day. Perhaps the strong men of the Lu Family were still dumbfounded, or maybe they were still unable to determine what kind of a person Feng Jiu was. Therefore, even though the Lu Family were still thinking about that little white tiger cub, they didn’t dare to be impudent.
After all, though their intentions were the same, however, their Patriarch obviously had a good impression of this young boy. If they were to have any ill intentions towards Feng Jiu, they were afraid that their Patriarch would take care of them before Feng Jiu even had a chance to make a move.
Another day had passed and the sky was getting dark. They rested once again as the road was not an easy trek in the night.
Feng Jiu coaxed the little white tiger cub in her arms to drink some water. However, that little thing had refused to drink the water and turn its head away after it sniffed her, and it lay restlessly in her arms.
“You’re not drinking? You’ve not eaten anything all day. Come on, just take a lick of water!” She poured a little more, but the little milk tiger cub continued to refuse and turned its head away.
“Hehehe, Young Brother Feng, since you’ve gained this little white tiger cub, you’ve been busy.” Old Patriarch Lu couldn’t help but laughed loudly as he looked at Feng Jiu trying to feed the little milk tiger cub.
