Yuehan carefully avoided the maids and attendants that she might encounter along the way, and quickly entered the backyard. As soon as she entered the backyard, she could smell a special smell: a slightly pungent odor and the smell of horseshoe grass.
This was because the tiger liked to sleep on horseshoe grass. This grass was soft and fragrant, and could cover up the tiger's unique odor. This odor was very pungent, and could be clearly smelled from tens of meters away, so much so that many prey would be scared away.
Although Huangfu Song's magical pet, the tiger, was pampered and cared for in the backyard, it was still a ferocious magical creature. Most people would not dare to approach it, and even the specialized breeders would cautiously approach it through the cage, not daring to get too close. This was because the tiger was extremely ferocious. Even in a cage, it could still hurt people with its roar and innate magic.
It was precisely because of this that cleaning the tiger became a major problem. Only the master of the magical pet would be able to complete such an intimate and private task. However, Huangfu Song respected his status, and only cleaning the tiger once a month was his limit. That was why … the scent of the tiger that he kept in his backyard … lingered there for a long time.
The closer Yuehan got, the stronger the smell became. She didn't even need to deliberately look for where the tiger was kept, she just needed to follow the smell and she would be able to find it.
After entering the backyard, Yuehan followed the lingering smell all the way until she found the west side of the backyard. The wing here had been converted into a large courtyard. After passing through the long corridor and an arched door, she could see a brightly colored spotted tiger lying in the middle of a deep underground rockery pond. Its entire body was a mix of red and yellow, and its fiery-red fur was mixed with yellow stripes. It looked like a ball of fire, and the huge "King" character between its brows was even more majestic.
There were no guards around the rockery pond in the backyard, because the servants and maids knew that no one would be so bored as to deal with a ferocious tiger.
This tiger was different from the one Li Chengfeng had encountered before. This was a fully matured male tiger, with a height of two meters, and tail length of five meters. Standing next to Yuehan, a petite girl who was less than 1.7 meters tall, this tiger looked like a monster.
If a weak cultivator tried to deal with a monster like this, it would be like sending food to the tiger. If a strong cultivator tried to deal with this tiger, then even if the place was filled with maids and servants, they would still be sending food to the cultivator.
So … there was no one to stand guard in the backyard, because … there was no!
Must!
Must!
Moreover, although there were people who dutifully stood guard in the beginning, after a while, the smell became unbearable.
The scariest thing was that the tiger's smell was too strong. As long as one stayed in the area for a long time, it would soak into one's clothes and even skin like a liquid. It was difficult to wash away, so one could only burn the clothes and wash it for several days in a row before the smell would dissipate.
But what kind of person was Yuehan?
This was a thousand-faced demon that had lived for hundreds of years. She even dared to invade the Dragon King's mansion, what more a small tiger?
Yuehan held her breath and quietly approached the rockery pond. She came to the wall and looked down. She saw that the bottom of the rockery pond was fifteen meters deep, which was a height that the tiger could not easily jump up.
Although a mature male tiger could jump up to a height of 20 meters, the edge of the fake mountain pool had special array patterns. When the tiger jumped to the edge of the fake mountain pool, it would burn and hurt the tiger's claws, causing it to fall down.
When Yuehan approached, the tiger was startled awake. It raised its body slightly, and the fur on its neck stood up. A low growl came from its throat, and it looked at Yuehan cautiously. Although in its eyes, this was a petite human that it could tear into pieces with a single claw, she made the tiger feel a strong sense of threat and fear.
Especially when Yuehan flipped over and lightly jumped into the rockery pond, the tiger suddenly let out a deafening roar. This roar was filled with fear and deterrence. Its body bent like a bow, its tail straightened and the hair on its tail stood up. It stared at Yuehan warily as she got closer and closer. The roar from its throat became sharper and louder, and its limbs slowly moved backwards. When Yuehan was two or three meters away from it, the tiger's fur stood up and it almost stood up on its hind legs.
Yuehan's hands were glowing with a faint green light. She smiled and let out a low hissing sound. Her eyes were slightly rippling as she stared unblinkingly into the tiger's eyes. Slowly, the tiger's roar became softer and softer, and its body gradually lowered. As Yuehan stepped on the thick and soft horseshoe grass, she slowly approached the tiger's head with her hand. The tiger's voice was almost like a big cat's low growl.
When Yuehan patted its head, the tiger simply hummed softly, as if it was enjoying it very much.
Yuehan smiled as she approached the tiger and gently patted its head. She then lifted its chin and gently moved its mouth. The tiger raised its head and opened its mouth, looking extremely obedient.
Yuehan poured the wine from the small bottle into the tiger's mouth. She whispered with a smile, "Let's see what this is."
Yuehan smiled as she looked on, gently stroking the tiger's head, carefully observing its changes.
At first, the tiger was still humming softly, but after a while, its humming became louder and louder. After a while, the tiger suddenly opened its eyes wide, its round eyes filled with blood vessels. It turned its head to stare at Yuehan, its gaze becoming more and more ferocious. Gradually, it stood up again and let out a terrifying roar. Its claws extended out, and its tail was no longer raised, but swung like an iron whip.
Yuehan wasn't afraid. She took a few steps back and observed the tiger's changes. Could it be … some kind of drug?
But when the tiger opened its bloody mouth, saliva dripping from its teeth, and its lower body swinging back and forth, Yuehan suddenly understood. She spat and cursed, "Bastard, it's an aphrodisiac!"
Yuehan sneered. Just as she was about to jump out of the rock garden, she suddenly heard a commotion outside. A few voices shouted, "Where? Don't run, it's right there!
Quick, catch it, catch it! "
She was exposed?!
