# Chapter 1078: Stronger Than Gold, Sweeter Than Honey?
But in Fierce Tiger Jiang’s dictionary, the page with the word “coward” had long been torn out!
Fierce Tiger Jiang’s eyes bulged wide as he let out a roar, the “king” character on his forehead radiating dazzling golden light!
He bellowed at the fat orange tiger before him!
ʕوಠ⌂ಠʔو “Roooar~”
A tiger’s roar shook the forest! There was no woman before the fierce tiger!
The domineering roar of supreme authority echoed through the Spirit Ruins!
At this moment, Fierce Tiger Jiang was like the lord of heaven and earth!
All the beast souls present felt as if they were about to be crushed!
Their legs went weak, and they all fell to their knees, deep fear in their eyes!
Then came a thunderous “BOOM”!
The fat orange tiger’s hundred-meter-long body slammed onto the ground, its massive head forced to bow before Fierce Tiger Jiang!
All the beasts stared at Fierce Tiger Jiang in terror!
*Sss~*
Even the boss lady had submitted to the tiger might of this Platinum-rank tiger?
She was a Dao Heaven Beast!
And she… just… knelt?
The Tiger Granny was ecstatic on the ground—so this was the power of the Tiger Ancestor’s Royal Blood?
This was exactly what she wanted!
The fat orange tiger’s eyes were dazed!
What was this soul-crushing suppression? Even my Dao Heaven rank is useless?
He… he’s so strong!
But the dignity of a tiger king refused to let her kneel before a Platinum tiger!
Her eyes were full of defiance and anger as she opened her mouth to roar again!
But Jiangnan leaned close to her ear and let out another tiger roar!
“ROAR!”
The fat orange tiger’s body went limp, and before she could stand up, she knelt again!
Fat Orange: !!!
She was so angry her eyes turned red, trying to rise again!
Fierce Tiger Jiang glared!
“Still not convinced? You’re forcing my hand!”
ʕ¯͒口¯͒ꐦʔ
“When I see someone who won’t kneel, I have to roar!”
“When it’s time to roar, I roar!”
“Roar heh, roar heh, roar hah, roar ah~”
“Roar~ roar~ roar heh roar~”
In that moment, Fierce Tiger Jiang started a roaring spree, stringing them all together!
The other beasts couldn’t even lift their heads—they were practically burying their faces in the dirt!
Fat Orange was going insane!
Just what kind of tiger is this? And he’s even singing his roars? A forced stun that never ends?
“I give up! This cat—ah, I mean, this king gives up! Stop roaring already!”
Jiangnan finally stopped his divine technique, extremely smug.
ʕ乛ٹ乛ʔ *Hmph!*
Now you know how awesome this tiger is, huh?
Fat Orange wobbled to her feet, her face full of conflict.
His tiger roar was incredibly powerful—if the Zhouyun Tiger clan could master it, it would be a historic evolution!
But that meant she had to be with him?
Seeing the Tiger Granny’s encouraging look from behind the rock wall, Fat Orange finally made up her mind.
For the sake of the clan!
“Do you need a wife? I can be your second wife.”
The smile on Fierce Tiger Jiang’s face froze solid, and his jaw practically hit the ground.
ʕ❍Д❍‧̣̥̇ʔ “What? What did you say?”
Zi Yuan beside him was stunned too. Seriously? First a princess wanted to be Nan Shen’s wife, and now this?
Ordinarily it wouldn’t be a problem, but the key point was that this one wasn’t even human!
It was a Dao Heaven-rank spirit beast!
Could Jiangnan’s charm even attract spirit beasts? And she was offering herself?
The beast crowd erupted in wails!
The Zhouyun Tigers’ eyes turned red!
“No! She’s the tiger of my dreams! What has that scrawny tiger done to deserve this?”
“I don’t accept this! I challenge him to a duel! He’s not worthy to be our big sister’s mate!”
“He can’t even be the main husband, and he’s being offered the second wife spot? I’m shattered!”
Murderous glares shot at Jiangnan from all sides. Everyone’s eyes were red.
Fat Orange turned and snapped, “Shut up! You have no say here!”
Then she looked at Jiangnan. “Don’t misunderstand—I’m not trying to break up your relationship. You don’t have to take responsibility either.”
“Your Tiger Ancestor’s Royal Blood is very useful to our Zhouyun Tiger clan.”
“If you want, you could be my captive mate. I’ll hunt and provide for you.”
Jiangnan: ???
What Tiger Ancestor Royal Blood? Are you people misunderstanding something?
I just ate some Tiger Biscuits to go undercover, okay?
Should I end this mission now?
If I don’t, I’m going to end up as the tiger boss’s kept man!
“No! Never! I am the good male tiger! I am the great tiger boss!”
“Even if you’re a Dao Heaven beast, I can’t betray my wife!”
With that, he quickly poked Zi Yuan and gave her a look.
Zi Yuan took a deep breath. She had to step up in this situation.
So she shoved Jiangnan behind her, bared her teeth, and snarled, “We came here in good faith to join you, and you want to steal my man?”
“You fox of a tiger! Our love is stronger than gold and sweeter than honey! I will never yield to your tiger might!”
“Do you think I don’t exist? He’s MY tiger! You can’t have him!”
Then she winked smugly at Jiangnan, who gave her a thumbs-up.
Gotta hand it to my Yuan-jie—she really comes through in a pinch!
Fat Orange narrowed her eyes. “No matter what you say, for my clan, I’ll do whatever it takes.”
“I’m set on him. You have no say. Since you won’t give him up, we’ll settle this fairly!”
“We’ll use the most primitive method to decide who gets sleeping rights! Winner takes all, loser walks!”
With that, she leaped a kilometer away. The other spirit beasts wisely cleared the arena, whooping and hollering.
Jiangnan was going crazy. So now they’re fighting over who gets to sleep with me?
This wasn’t part of the plan!
ʕ͡°͜ʖ͡°ʔ✧ “It’s all up to you now. My future happiness rests on your shoulders!”
With that, Jiangnan teleported to the sidelines and shouted:
✧*｡٩ʕˊᗜˋ*ʔو✧*｡ “Go, honey! Fight for love!”
Zi Yuan: ???
Wait, wait, wait!
How did this turn into me having to solo a Dao Heaven-rank spirit beast?
Don’t leave me here alone! I can’t do anything! I can’t even beat you! Are you trying to make me dream her to death?
This is not how you play the game!
[From Zi Yuan: Resentment +1000!]
[From…]
Fat Orange’s expression turned serious, her Dao Heaven aura swelling.
Zi Yuan was almost in tears. I’m a scrub with a combat power of 5—there’s no way I can beat Little Orange!
If I lose, I’ll get eaten, and Jiangnan will be taken as a captive mate!
How is that acceptable?
I may be a loser, but I’m still a Star Glory-rank, plus I have Teleport and Tiger Roar!
There’s still a chance!
Don’t underestimate me, Zi Yuan! You forced my hand—I’ll fight you with everything I’ve got!
“Begin!”
With the command, Zi Yuan’s eyes turned fierce. Her front paws slammed the ground, shattering the turf!
Her massive tiger body vanished, reappearing in midair with continuous flashes!
Jiangnan’s eyes lit up! Noob Yuan was actually going all-out for me?
That’s… actually kind of touching!
Fat Orange was startled—such speed! She was about to strike—
But at that moment, Zi Yuan executed a kneeling slide across the grass, skidding a long way!
She clasped her paws together, pressed her head to the ground, and pleaded loudly:
=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞ʕ‧̣̥̇˃᷄﹏˂᷅ʔ人
“Please don’t eat me! I can’t beat you at all! I’m just a useless tiger!”
“To be honest, I don’t even like that male tiger that much. I only settled for him ’cause he’s kinda good-looking!”
“If you want him, take him! I don’t mind at all if you make cubs with him!”
“I concede! Please don’t eat me! Heart fingers~”
=͟͟͞͞ʕ๑꒦ິ◡꒦ີʔ୧୨
With that, she even made a tiny heart with her paws!
The entire arena fell silent. Everyone stared blankly at the Lipstick Tiger.
That… that’s it?
That kneeling slide surrender was way too smooth!
Jiangnan’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. He was totally dumbfounded.
Σ[⊡口⊡‖]?
Weren’t you supposed to be stronger than gold and sweeter than honey?
You sold me out just like that?
You used Teleport and Tiger Roar—those awesome skills—just to do a kneeling slide surrender?
How am I supposed to believe in love anymore with you acting like this!
Even the other spirit beasts couldn’t stand it.
“Tsk tsk tsk—and here I thought she was devoted to you for rejecting the boss?”
“See? She’s just a trash tiger. She only wanted you for your looks!”
Fat Orange’s gaze fell on Jiangnan. “So from this moment on, you belong to me.”
Jiangnan backed up two steps, but the beast crowd immediately surrounded him.
Fierce Tiger Jiang shouted, “Pfft! You trash tiger! In every sense of the word!”
Zi Trash Tiger raised an eyebrow. “Cheer up! Having a generous tigress like me—you should be grateful!”
The Tiger Granny sidled up with a big smile, shoving a handful of high-grade Spirit Pearls at Zi Yuan.
“Here, this is compensation for you. We’re not unreasonable—we just need your mate’s bloodline. Don’t take it to heart!”
Zi Yuan was overjoyed at the handful of pearls. Not only was she not being eaten, she was getting extra income?
“Borrow him! Borrow him as much as you like! He’s really talented!”
Fat Orange grabbed Jiangnan by the scruff of his neck like a kitten and carried him off into the depths of the Spirit Ruins.
Fierce Tiger Jiang’s expression turned ruthless. Fine then—don’t blame me for being merciless!
Watch me solo-capture a Dao Heaven-rank beast!
…
In the cave, Fat Orange set Jiangnan down on the ground, took a deep breath, and turned her head away without speaking.
(Ф﹏Ф๐)ʕ͡ಠʖ̯͡ಠʔ
Time ticked by, the atmosphere growing increasingly tense.
Jiangnan was sweating with anxiety. Why isn’t she doing anything?
I’m waiting for an opportunity to take her down! How am I supposed to make a move like this?
The Tiger Granny, peeking from outside the cave, couldn’t stand it anymore and barged right in.
“Sorry, our little girl has no experience in this sort of thing. Please excuse her!”
