Chapter 239 Little Tiger
Yun Ci and Chu Ziming had just finished making the bed when they heard a soft cry.
The sound is very similar to the sound made by a newborn animal.
Listen carefully; there's more than one.
Yun Ci and Chu Zimo stopped what they were doing, exchanged a glance, and then looked into the Heavenly Cave.
Each of them took a luminous pearl and quietly walked into the cave.
The further you go in, the clearer the sound becomes.
Yun Ci held up the luminous pearl and saw that there was another large hole on the right side of the Heavenly Cave.
The two did not sense the presence of any ferocious beast, so they slowly approached the innermost part and used the luminous pearl to illuminate the area.
“Yun Ci, there are three tiger cubs,” Chu Zimo said, tilting his head.
Yun Ci also saw the three tiger cubs on the withered grass.
The three tiger cubs had not yet opened their eyes. Two of them were crawling on the dry grass with their eyes closed, occasionally letting out a cry.
The other one, which looked the smallest, lay motionless.
Click.
The sound of a dead branch breaking underfoot rang out.
Yun Ci and Chu Zimo turned around abruptly and saw the tiger blocking the entrance to the cave, staring at them intently.
Yun Ci immediately heard the alarm bells ringing.
Logically speaking, he should be able to easily restrain a tiger that has not yet developed intelligence.
But as a modern person, seeing a tiger that isn't caged still makes me shudder.
Chu Ziming wasn't afraid at all. He just stared at the tiger while preparing to respond.
The tiger moved forward step by step with its heavy, powerful claws, staring at the two unfamiliar creatures in the cave.
Yun Ci watched the tiger getting closer and closer.
The heavy breathing became increasingly clear.
The atmosphere was tense.
Yun Ci looked at the tiger and suddenly spoke, "We didn't mean to hurt your cubs."
The tiger kept walking forward.
Chu Zimo gathered spiritual energy in his palm.
Yun Ci also became serious, gathering spiritual energy in his palm.
At this moment, the tiger walked up to Yun Ci, suddenly lay down, rolled over, and turned its belly up.
"Ow..."
At the same time, accompanied by a short, sharp roar, the tiger looked at Yun Ci.
Yun Ci, “…”
Chu Zimo, "..."
It looks like a big cat.
Yun Ci thought.
Yun Ci squatted down and tentatively touched the tiger's big head with his hand.
The tentacles had somewhat stiff hairs.
The tiger immediately stopped moving and obediently let Yun Ci pat its big head.
Yun Ci squatted down, stroking him and praising, "So good, Chu Zimo, you can stroking him too."
Chu Ziming was immediately eager to try as well, "Mhm."
The tiger glanced at Chu Ziming and nuzzled Yun Ci with its head.

A cold wind was blowing outside.
From a distance, each of those crater-like openings emitted a different kind of light.
That was the light illuminated by the disciples of the Xuanyuan Sect using different magical artifacts.
Because of the proximity, the sounds of conversation and noise from the surrounding caves could be clearly heard.
Inside the cave, Yun Ci was feeding a tiger cub goat milk with a small spoon.
Ye Qingqing and Su Wanqing, each holding a tiger cub, were feeding goat milk along with Yun Ci.
Ning Ziang's little mouse was sitting on the bed, munching on a piece of apple.
Hei Zi sat quietly to the side, watching Yun Ci holding the little tiger, a faint smile on his face.
Lively chatter could be heard from time to time inside the cave.
Little White and Little Ginseng were watching the little tiger curiously from the side.
Little Black and Timid Mushroom remained inside the spirit beast pouch.
The mother tiger is eating the prey that the father tiger has hunted.
"Yun Ci, look! This little guy has opened his eyes."
Ye Qingqing looked at the tiger cub in her arms with delight.
Yun Ci took a look and it really was true, and couldn't help but exclaim with delight, "This is so cute!"
"Uh-huh!"
After playing for a while, Yun Ci took out spicy fish chunks, sweet and sour pork ribs, and stewed chicken legs from her storage ring.
Everyone had dinner together at Yun Ci's place.
We had to continue our journey tomorrow, so after playing for a while longer, everyone went back to rest.
*
night.
A cold wind was blowing outside.
Yun Ci and Chu Ziming were fast asleep inside, while two tigers guarded the entrance to the Heavenly Cave.
The next morning, Yun Ci and Chu Ziming got up amidst the noise outside.
Yun Ci looked around; it was just dawn outside.
"Yun Ci, it's quite loud outside. Everyone should be up by now, except for us," Chu Ziming said from the side.
Yun Ci nodded. "Let's hurry up and pack up too."
The two boys quickly packed their things.
"Ow."
Yun Ci turned around and saw the tiger mother showing him her belly, while the tiger father, who was even larger, lay on the ground looking at him.
Yun Ci couldn't help but reach out and touch the heads of the tiger mother and tiger father.
"We need to continue our journey today. There is goat milk in the bamboo tube for the tiger cubs to drink, and there is jerky and a big bone in the other box to help you stave off hunger if you can't hunt any prey."
Qingqing affixed talismans to the bamboo tubes and boxes yesterday so that the food can be preserved for longer.
The tiger family will definitely survive the winter.
Yun Ci looked at Tiger Dad's right foot again; the injury had completely healed.
Yun Ci stood up and suddenly unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, striking the spot closest to the two tigers.
A small pit appeared in the ground.
The two tigers took a step back, their eyes becoming wary, but neither of them bared their teeth at Yun Ci.
"Yun Ci, let's go."
Chu Ziming has already packed everything up.
"Mmm." Yun Ci glanced at the tiger that hadn't followed, then ran to Chu Ziming's side.
He wanted the tigers to know that not all humans can be trusted.
Humans have the ability to kill them.
That way, if they encounter humans in the future, they won't easily expose their bellies.
What Yun Ci didn't know was that the flesh-eating, blood-drinking tiger approached him simply because of the aura emanating from him.
The two tigers might not understand human speech, but they could sense goodwill. They watched Yun Ci and his companions from the entrance of the cave.
"Yun Ci, over here!"
Ye Qingqing waved to the crowd while taking a bite of the vegetable-filled pancake in her hand.
You can see the shredded potatoes and bean curd sheets coated in chili oil inside.
Su Wanqing next to her was also eating, but she didn't add any chili oil.
Besides Ye Qingqing and Su Wanqing, you can see that many people around them are eating.
Besides flatbread rolls with vegetables, there are also roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and hamburgers.
There were even a few inner disciples standing in the crowd, eating rice bowls.
These are all foods that Yun Ci sold in the last few days before she left.
In order to avoid taking fasting pills, everyone bought food in advance.
When Yun Ci saw Ye Qingqing, he pulled Chu Ziming over and said, "Senior Sister Qingqing, Senior Sister Wanqing, Senior Brother Ning, Senior Brother Yu... Good morning."
Yun Ci greeted each of the group of people one by one.
Good morning, Junior Brother Yun.
Good morning, Junior Brother Yun.
Everyone responded with laughter.
"Yun Ci!" came a low shout from the surroundings.
Yun Ci looked over and saw the male and female cultivators standing together smiling at him.
Two of the female cultivators waved to him.
Yun Ci smiled brightly and raised her hand to wave.
Ahhh, Ci Bao is so cute!
As Yun Ci walked over, everyone turned to look at him in unison.
It's so beautiful it's almost blinding.
Chu Ziming took out a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) from his storage bag, and Yun Ci took out a rice ball. The two, dressed in moon-white disciple robes, each took a bamboo tube and drank the steaming hot beverage.
They ate as they walked into the line.
