Looking at how Xia Xibei was stroking the tiger as if it was a cat, everyone was dumbfounded.
Jiang Shenghe and the keepers exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock and bafflement.
All of them finally came to their senses when the tiger stood up again after enjoying the stroking.
They couldn’t be sure until they saw that the big tiger was the height of a human. This was an actual tiger, not a little kitty!
Jiang Shenghe took a few deep breaths to suppress the excitement within him. Gingerly, he waved at Xia Xibei. “Come here for a second, please.”
Just as Xia Xibei was about to move, the tiger held out its paw to stop her.
“Sit still,” Xia Xibei said casually.
The giant tiger then flexed its hind legs and squatted on the ground, looking just like a cat that was a few times bigger than normal.
Everyone was just speechless.
The looks on the keepers’ faces were the most interesting.
They had been taking care of the tiger for such a long time, but none of them had ever seen the tiger being so docile and well-behaved!
Normally, this tiger was either idling around or randomly roaring for fun just to frighten the visitors.
Great, now it had even learned to “sit still” without being taught. Would it start shaking hands in a moment?
While the keepers were eyeing her with an inexplicable look, Xia Xibei walked up to Jiang Shenghe.
“Director Jiang.”
“Can you make sure that it will always be this obedient?” Jiang Shenghe’s eyes were shimmering with an almost fervent gleam.
“I can.”
“Awesome!” He cheered then quickly shut his mouth because the tiger was staring at him.
He finally realized how ferocious the eye of a tiger was… It was absolutely terrifying!
If he hadn’t been a man of experience, his legs might have gone weak by then.
“Could you…sit on its back then?” Jiang Shenghe asked in a small voice.
“No way!” the keepers said before Xia Xibei could utter a word. “It’s too dangerous!”
Who the heck dared to ride a tiger? Only those who couldn’t wait to die, perhaps!
However, Jiang Shenghe shot the keepers a queer look.
The keepers froze for a second, soon turning awkward.
Danger didn’t seem to exist as far as Xia Xibei was concerned, did it?
The tiger was so obedient, so would it really be dangerous?
He felt that all that Xia Xibei had to do was give an order, and the tiger would lie down on the ground and let her on its back right away.
“It shouldn’t be a problem.” Xia Xibei smiled. “Shall we give it a try now?”
“Great!” Jiang Shenghe was grinning from ear to ear, overwhelmed with excitement.
Xia Xibei returned to the tiger’s side and patted its body. “Could you let me up?”
Right as she finished, the tiger lowered its forelegs and bent down immediately.
Once again, the crowd was stupefied.
The scene before their eyes was simply incredulous!
Did Xia Xibei feed the tiger with some secret potion?! Why on earth was it so well-behaved around her?!
Someone from the crowd couldn’t help taking a couple of steps forward, wanting to get a closer look at the tiger.
Just as he moved, however, the tiger looked his way instantly with its wintry eyes, as if he was a dead prey.
The man froze immediately and started sweating profusely.
All of them knew it by now. The tiger only treated Xia Xibei differently, and no one else could approach it without getting hurt!
They were overwhelmed with admiration for Xia Xibei.
Xia Xibei straddled the tiger’s back and sat firmly before it slowly stood up.
The people didn’t know how to respond as they watched Xia Xibei ride the tiger in a calm, laid-back manner.
Astonishment, admiration, awe, and adoration were all that they could feel at that moment.
This was real! There were no special effects!
They couldn’t seem to put their amazement into words.
“Spectacular!” Jiang Shenghe’s excitement brought everyone back to their senses.
“Get ready, we can start shooting!”
