Chapter 19 The First Battle
Because Rose sister suddenly joined, we went to the trading place again. On the way, Rose saw that the two brothers were puzzled and explained: "Because Xiaomei is about to go to school, she wants to experience practice first. Anyway, you have to go sooner or later, it's just right that you are going together, so you can accompany each other."
The two brothers finally understood and expressed their understanding, but they were still puzzled and surprised, saying: "Xiao Mei is about to start school, I think she's not even ten years old yet!"
Rose's face turned red, "What? Is there a problem?" She thought to herself: You wouldn't know this, but my sister is a rare innate body type. If we weren't afraid that starting her training too early would harm her foundation, she could have started cultivating as soon as she was born.
But then I really knew this, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that Xiaomei is a rare congenital body?" Rose was obviously very surprised, and for a moment she forgot to answer. Xiaomei saw the situation and continued: "Yes, yes, you're right, how did you know?" Of course, I wouldn't tell the truth now, and even if I did, she wouldn't believe me. So I deliberately glanced at my brother with a slanted eye, and he nodded knowingly, then looked up at the sky with an air of mystery.
Xiao Mei looked at the brothers' movements and expressions, seemingly understanding, and said in a low voice: "So it was your brother who told you, that's right." Rose also came back to her senses at this time, just in time to hear Xiao Mei's words, and suddenly had an epiphany, saying with a big smile: "I see, I was just wondering how you could have known."
I'm taking the attitude that silence is gold and eloquence is silver, thinking to myself: you just go ahead and make excuses, anyway I can't tell you now that I'm a pioneer with a vast amount of information in my mind.
Although it was during the Chinese New Year, there were still people doing business, although not many people were buying things. Fortunately, the things we needed were very common and could be bought at ordinary grocery stores. We prepared our supplies and set off, through my brother's introduction, I knew that where we were going was a place specifically for new students to practice. After one transmission, we arrived, it turned out that this was an independent space, all the transmission arrays in the college were connected, as long as you chose the right name when entering.
As soon as I entered here, I had a familiar feeling, seen in dreams, moving forward in the direction of dreams, but something unexpected happened, that is, the gentle beast in the dream became fierce. A mother tiger pounced on us, and Rose and my brother dispersed to one side, leaving the mother tiger to us.
I and Xiao Mei looked at each other, knowing we couldn't count on them. Of course, in our hearts, we also knew that if we really encountered danger, they wouldn't just stand by and do nothing. Xiao Mei had the same idea as me, and I saw her take out a mirror, muttering to herself.
The first time I saw a tiger, I couldn't help but tremble with fear. But thinking that even little girls aren't afraid, and now having some real power, I plucked up my courage and didn't want to fall behind. With a flourish, I pulled out a carefully prepared sharp wooden stick from my clothes, like an oversized pen, the length of my arm, graspable in one hand, without any fuss, and charged at the tiger.
But then something astonishing happened, I leaped three feet high and struck the tiger with a single blow, and it fell to the ground, struggling. I didn't take advantage of its weakness, but instead stared blankly at the struggling tigress, originally just an ordinary tiger, even if I couldn't beat it in the end, it wouldn't have fallen down with just one strike.
Everyone noticed the strangeness of the situation, my brother suddenly floated forward like a whirlwind, circled around it twice, and said that this was the first time the two brothers saw a real tiger, and it would be fake if they didn't feel curious.
The rose saw my brother's swift movement, and was shocked, also floated over to follow him. With the principle of "taking advantage of its weakness to take its life", she took out the Ling-level divine sword, Huan Kong Jian, and was about to make a killing move. I suddenly woke up and shouted: "Spare her!" But it was too late, my brother quickly used the Flame Heaven Sword to block Rose's sword, and he wanted to hear how I would explain this.
The rose's sword was lightly blocked by my brother, somewhat surprised, and then unhappy. She thought that as a high-level mage, pps888, she was lightly blocked by a pps666 body-refining junior brother. Although she only used a bit of force, don't forget her nickname "Thorny Rose", which is extremely proud by nature, it's just that she didn't show it in the past few days for some reason. Maybe it's because she met me, who is gentle, and I never showed too strong a presence, couldn't find a reason to get angry, no motivation, like a strong man punching cotton, naturally didn't show up.
Nowadays, if my brother puts on even a little bit of effort, he won't provoke her unspoken displeasure. Unfortunately, his expression is as if he's done something insignificant and has already been seen through. My brother turned his gaze to me, not even glancing at her, unaware that someone had already decided in their heart to find an opportunity to teach this insolent kid a lesson when they get back. Of course, he wouldn't care anyway.
I was watching from the side, and Rose's stunning face was doing a magnificent Peking Opera-style change of face. It was truly impressive. So I coughed and said: "Ah... this matter is like this..."
I hadn't finished speaking when Rose interrupted me, "What was that? You'd better give me a satisfactory explanation. Let's see what kind of big theory you can come up with, huh?" She was picking a fight, and it seemed like she was about to shift the focus of her anger, so I had no choice but to explain myself obediently. However, I also knew that when explaining things to an enraged woman, it's best to get straight to the point. So, I concisely said: "This mother tiger is pregnant, you should understand the hardships of being a mother."
As expected, my words achieved initial success, and Rose's complexion eased up, but she wasn't a fool, threateningly asking a question that hit the core: "How did you know it was pregnant? If you can't come up with a reason, humph."
It seems that the anger has not dissipated, and I must continue to make an effort. On purpose, I took a look at the tiger's belly and asked in return: "Haven't you discovered anything unusual? Or do you think I'm really that powerful, able to knock down a tiger with just one stick? Not only do I know it's pregnant, but I also know it's about to give birth."
At this time, Xiaomei also came over curiously and echoed: "Yes, yes, I also found it was not right, although I haven't made a move yet, it shouldn't be so weak, maybe it's really pregnant, poor thing."
The rose unwillingly made a final defense: "Who says it must be pregnant? What if it's just unlucky and you hit its weak point...?" The voice got smaller and smaller, eventually becoming nothing. In fact, when she saw the mother tiger's big belly, she understood that I wasn't wrong.
We all fell into silence. To be honest, the rose was quite kind too. When she heard that Mother Tiger was pregnant, she didn't have any intention to kill anymore.
Everyone may also wonder why I was the first to discover that Mother Tiger was pregnant, right? Originally, I was also wondering, but at the moment when I jumped high and entered a fighting state, my thoughts were triggered, and for the first time, I automatically sensed the opponent's thoughts. At the same time, some descriptions of my thoughts appeared in my mind: originally, my foundation was that my thoughts were rich enough and my soul was strong enough, and I happened to meet these requirements after crossing over. The first layer is accumulation, which is the process of accumulating thoughts, just like a cultivator absorbing yuanqi; the second layer is storage, which means processing thoughts through mysterious methods and storing them away; the third layer is manifestation, where thoughts have become strong enough to sense (discover) objects three levels higher than me. The reason I was able to cross over and reach this state is not only because my thoughts are strong but also because of an indispensable condition: the mysterious fusion with Ren Yue's will.
As for the heaven-defying secret technique, it will definitely have aftereffects, and what they are will slowly manifest later. For now, I can only sense it three times a day, of course, as my realm improves in the future, there will be corresponding upgrades and changes. Now I feel that the distance to the dream realm is not far away, maybe when I reach the place I saw in my dreams, I should level up, this is called making dreams come true.
Si Xiu is my trump card secret technique, now only my brother and I know about it; while my brother only knows that I have Si Xiu, but doesn't know its function. Of course, it's not that I'm hiding it from him, but I just found out about this too, saying that brothers are like wearing the same pants is a bit exaggerated, however, this kind of secret won't be mutually deceived.
When I jumped into the air, I sensed the mother tiger's thoughts, and everything about it was like a piece of paper in my mind, with no secrets to speak of. Hurriedly retracted my strength, but the arrow was already on its way, and in the chaos, I pulled back half of my power, which was still not something that the mother tiger could withstand. So when I saw it fall down, I was stunned for a moment, and felt a bit dizzy, with a kind heart feeling some discomfort, but didn't think much about it. Then, suddenly seeing Rose deliver the fatal blow, I shouted to stop her, but it was already too late, and then everything happened just as you've seen.
Suddenly, a soft hum broke the silence. Two small, wrinkled tiger cubs appeared in front of their mother's chest, soft and fluffy, with closed eyes, and adorable movements. The two girls looked at the newborn tiger cubs, and their playful hearts were stirred up, their eyes shining with a faint light.
It's been a while, and the two brothers felt it was time to leave. They coughed to signal their departure, but the two girls didn't budge. Instead, they slowly extended their "magic claws" towards the young tiger. The mother tiger let out a low growl, scratching the ground with her front paws, but she was too weak and could only watch as the two children fell into the "magic claws". The two girls were overjoyed, hugging each other and jumping up and down. The brothers didn't want to spoil their fun, so they sat down on the spot, treating it like a show. My brother's eyes lit up, and he quickly pulled out his phone from his space wristwatch, selected a video recorder, took a sneak shot, and then hastily turned off the power and put the phone back in his watch.
The two sisters finally had enough fun, and the brothers dared to suggest that they return the tiger cub. As the first gain of this trip, they were reluctant to part with it. In the end, the brothers persuaded them with reason and emotion, pointing out that the mother tiger's eyes were streaming with tears, and the two sisters reluctantly returned the tiger cub. We continued on our way towards our dreams...
