Zhou Ru was riding on a black striped tiger. She held a small willow branch in her hand and peeked at Wang Lin while patting the tiger's head.
The tiger didn't dare to show its might. It lowered its head and paced back and forth in the valley.
"Little White, look up!" Zhou Ru glared at it.
The tiger immediately growled and obediently raised its head from the ladle.
"Lower your head!"
The tiger quickly lowered its head.
"Look up!"
After repeating this more than ten times, the tiger still obeyed. It had long gotten used to this kind of life. It only hoped that the little ancestor on its back would be happy and let it go just like how the black bear was released into the forest a while ago.
It did not dare to resist. Not to mention the young man, just the old man meditating not far away was already an existence that it could not afford to provoke. It was not an ordinary tiger, but a tiger spirit that had cultivated for many years. Naturally, it could feel the terrifying aura from the old man's body.
On the other hand, the young man didn't have any aura and was like a mortal. However, it didn't dare to provoke this person. A few days ago, it saw with its own eyes a few cultivators who were even more powerful than the old man treat this young man with respect.
As a result, with its tiger head, it naturally knew that this person couldn't be provoked.
Therefore, no matter how difficult the little ancestor on its back was, it would still do as it was told. In fact, it actually felt lucky. After all, it had seen how miserable the black bear was when it was taught a lesson by this little ancestor.
It had never seen a black bear that could walk upside down, nor had it seen a black bear that could pick up chopsticks to eat.
Not to mention that the bear's huge claws could even scratch people's backs … Every time it thought of this scene, it couldn't help but shiver. It was even more afraid of the little ancestor on its back.
It believed that it was a noble tiger spirit, so it would never do such a thing. However, it was still acceptable for it to lower its head and raise its head.
Wang Lin sat cross-legged under the pagoda and looked at the tiger that seemed to be extremely wronged. He smiled. This tiger had cultivated for more than three hundred years, but it was different from cultivators. Its cultivation level was only around the foundational stage.
After Zhou Ru saw it, she immediately asked Tie Yan to catch it and named it Little White.
From outside the valley, Feng Yushan's voice could be heard. "Fellow Daoist Ceng Niu, the ten year agreement is up. I, Feng, am here on the orders of Mount Rosefinch to deliver the letter of challenge!"
Wang Lin's gaze shifted from Zhou Ru to the outside of the valley. After a while, he rose to his feet.
"Tie Yan!"
Tie Yan woke up from his meditation and immediately stood up, respectfully walking in front of Wang Lin.
"I'm going to the Kingdom of Rosefinch. I don't know when I'll be gone, but I'll be back in at most eight years. While I'm gone, please take care of little Ru 'er for me!" Wang Lin looked at Zhou Ru and said to Tie Yan.
Zhou Ru didn't look at Wang Lin, but her ears twitched. She pouted and scratched Xiao Bai's head. She said in a low voice, "Bad uncle!
Bad uncle! "Every time she said it, she would scratch Xiao Bai's hair.
Although the ten-year-old Haizi didn't have much strength, scratching Xiao Bai's hair still hurt a little. After all, the hair on its forehead was the closest to its flesh. Although it was in pain, it didn't dare to show its might. It could only growl to vent its anger.
Tie Yan nodded with a serious expression. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Benefactor, the Kingdom of Rosefinch is the first kingdom of Suzaku. There are countless experts there. You must be careful when you go there."
Ever since he gave up everything to follow Wang Lin four years ago, he changed the title of master to benefactor. Wang Lin had helped him reach the Soul Formation stage. In his opinion, this kindness was no less than his life.
Wang Lin nodded and said, "I'll leave the pagoda here and open it completely. No one but you and Zhou Ru can enter within 50 kilometers of the pagoda. While I'm gone, you have to take good care of little Ru Er!"
"Don't worry, Benefactor. The Old Man will definitely protect Miss Wan … Ru 'er's safety!" Tie Yan immediately agreed.
Wang Lin pondered for a moment and patted his bag of holding. A white light flashed out and landed on the ground with a bang, turning into the Thunder Frog.
Zhou Ru's eyes immediately lit up when she saw the Thunder Frog. The tiger she was sitting on went limp and almost fell to the ground. It could clearly sense that the frog in front of it had an extremely dense demonic aura.
This aura immediately made its heart jump and it became even more afraid of the people in the valley. At this moment, even if it was asked to stand upside down, eat with chopsticks, or pat the little ancestor's back, it wouldn't dare to complain.
"Little Ru 'er, come here!" Wang Lin squatted down and said softly.
Zhou Ru pouted and ignored Wang Lin. However, after pondering for a moment, she patted the tiger's head and stuck out her tongue at Wang Lin. She said in a crisp voice,
"Bad uncle, you're going out to play by yourself. You're not bringing Little Ru 'er!"
Wang Lin couldn't help but laugh. Over the past few years, Zhou Ru had become more and more mischievous. She was completely different from Li Muwan in the past. If it wasn't for the fact that he could clearly sense Li Muwan's Nascent Soul inside Zhou Ru's body, he would sometimes wonder if he was hugging someone else.
Over the past few years, Zhou Ru had bullied all the slightly stronger beasts in the forest. However, she only bullied them and never hurt them. Instead, when she encountered some injured beasts, she would beg Wang Lin to treat them.
Wang Lin sometimes looked at Zhou Ru and felt a bit sorry for her. In order to keep her by his side, he had made her lose the joy of playing with her companions during her childhood. She could only be friends with these beasts. Was it too selfish of him to do this?
However, these thoughts only flashed through Wang Lin's mind before he put them away. He was not a selfless person. He was worried about leaving Zhou Ru in someone else's house. Only by staying with him could he guarantee that nothing would happen to her.
"Ru 'er, be good. Uncle will go out and come back in a few days. At that time, I will catch a bigger tiger for you." Wang Lin said with a smile.
"How big?
Is it bigger than Little White? "
Zhou Ru was, after all, a child of the Seven Seas. When she heard this, she immediately became interested. She stopped bickering with Wang Lin and quickly asked.
"Bigger than Little White!" Wang Lin nodded affirmatively.
Zhou Ru tilted her head and thought for a moment. She said, "Okay, then you have to come back quickly."
Wang Lin touched Zhou Ru's head and said seriously, "I will be back soon. Little Ru 'er, you have to be obedient when I am not here. You can't go more than a hundred miles away, understand?"
Zhou Ru nodded her head and said obediently, "Then don't forget about my big tiger!"
Wang Lin smiled and stood up. He glanced at Tie Yan and began to ponder. It wasn't that he didn't trust Tie Yan. After all, after so many years, he already knew this person's personality like the back of his hand. However, Zhou Ru's importance to him wasn't something that could be entrusted with just trust.
Therefore, he left the Thunder Frog behind. With the Thunder Frog here, if Tie Yan did anything strange, it would definitely stop him.
In reality, Wang Lin was thinking too much. With Tie Yan's temperament, after so many years of training, he had already become focused and only wanted to reach the Soul Formation stage. As for Wang Lin, he had given him hope, so he was greatly indebted to him.
In addition, it could be said that he had watched Zhou Ru grow up. He had been protecting her since she was born. After so many years, he already had a trace of love for her. Even if Wang Lin didn't order him to, he would still protect Zhou Ru's safety.
In addition, there was also the friendship of Li Muwan, who had refined pills for him many times in the past.
Wang Lin sent a message to the Thunder Frog, asking it to protect Zhou Ru. The Thunder Frog's abdomen swelled up as a response. Then, it laid on the ground motionlessly and began to bask in the sun.
As for the Thunder Frog, Wang Lin trusted it. Sometimes, things in the world were like this. Beasts were more trustworthy than humans.
Other than these, Wang Lin still had one last protection, and that was his original body. His original body was deep under the pagoda. With his original body here, all dangers could be resolved.
This was what he was truly assured of. However, unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want others to know that he had his original body.
His true self was his true trump card. Compared to all of his Dharma treasures, it was hidden deeper and deeper!
After settling these matters, Wang Lin walked out of the valley. He didn't know if what awaited him would be glory or the end of his road.
However, after five hundred years of cultivation, Wang Lin's heart was as firm as ever. He wouldn't be shaken by honor or disgrace. He would continue on the path of cultivation and never change.
Zhou Ru raised her head and looked at Wang Lin's disappearing figure. Suddenly, she grabbed Little White's fur. Little White was intelligent and immediately ran forward. With a leap, it caught up to Wang Lin with Zhou Ru.
Wang Lin turned around. Zhou Ru jumped off Little White and came to Wang Lin's side. She said softly, "Uncle, squat down."
Wang Lin smiled and squatted down. He said softly, "Are you reminding Uncle not to forget about the big tiger?"
Zhou Ru shook her head. She looked at Wang Lin and gently kissed his forehead. She said seriously, "Uncle, you have to come back soon. Lil 'Ru Er misses you."
Wang Lin looked at Zhou Ru in a daze. After a while, he nodded and said, "Uncle will be back soon!"
After saying that, he took a deep breath, stood up, and walked out of the valley.
Zhou Ru looked at Wang Lin's back and said softly, "Uncle is leaving. He doesn't want to play with me anymore … Little White, you have to play with me every day from now on. Do you understand?"
Little White's body trembled and it complained in its heart. It let out a low growl and replied listlessly.
The corners of Zhou Ru's eyes were a little moist. Tears flowed down her cheeks and fell to the ground.
In these seven years, she and Wang Lin had never been separated. They already had a very deep relationship. The more time passed, the more she felt a warm feeling in her heart. This warmth was a kind of attachment, a kind of reluctance to part.
There were many coincidences in this world. At this moment, Zhou Ru was standing at the place where Li Muwan's tear fell.
She didn't know if that tear could create a land of sadness and sorrow, but now, that tear was exchanged for a land of longing and reluctance to part.
Zhou Ru wiped away her tears and said to the tiger, "Little White, stand upside down!"
The tiger immediately let out a sad roar.
One month before the battle between Wang Lin and Red Butterfly, a big event happened in the Giant Demon Clan. One of the clan's ancestors absorbed the celestial jades that Chi Hu brought back and successfully broke through to the Soul Formation stage. He became the first Soul Transformation Giant Demon Clan cultivator since Rosefinch!
That's it!
The Rosefinch chapter began.
