I Break through Crazily

Besides the gentle voice, Tang Yi also felt something by his feet.

Tang Yi looked down and saw Little Tiger at his feet, obediently nuzzling his pant leg.

"Little Tiger? How did you get here?" Tang Yi exclaimed in surprise.

Ever since Tang Yi had coaxed Little Tiger into coming with him, he had kept it at home, rarely taking it out in public. He never expected that Little Tiger would run out on its own and even manage to find him.

"MEOW~" Little Tiger blinked its big eyes, looking up at Tang Yi pitifully.

’It was as if it were saying, ’How could you go out to play without me? I was dying of boredom...’’

"Er..." Sensing Little Tiger’s reproachful gaze, Tang Yi rubbed his nose awkwardly. "Alright, alright. I’ll take you with me wherever I go from now on. How’s that?"

Little Tiger was a Golden Blood Green-eyed Tiger, a Demon Beast that could one day become a Beast Venerable. Of course Tang Yi had to dote on it and keep it happy.

Upon hearing Tang Yi’s words, Little Tiger nodded its little head, an uncannily human-like expression of satisfaction appearing on its face.

"Oh my goodness, what an adorable little beast! What kind of Demon Beast is it?"

Just as Tang Yi and Little Tiger were communicating, Mu Xianling’s exclamation came from nearby.

Although Mu Xianling had an arrogant personality, like a little peacock, she was still a girl at the end of the day.

Even the proudest girl would have her heart melted by a Demon Beast as cute, tiny, and adorable as Little Tiger.

At that moment, Mu Xianling was staring at Little Tiger, her eyes shining, fighting the urge to immediately snatch it up for a hug.

Sensing Mu Xianling’s intense gaze, Little Tiger zipped behind Tang Yi. It then peeked out with its two small eyes, cautiously stealing glances at Mu Xianling. It seemed curious why this human looked so different from its companion, Tang Yi.

’And why is this human staring at me like that?’

’Don’t tell me... they want to eat me?’

At this thought, Little Tiger bared its not-so-sharp little fangs. Letting out a "MEOW," it shot Mu Xianling what it believed to be a ferocious expression, hoping to scare her and prove it wasn’t to be trifled with.

However...

In Mu Xianling’s eyes, Little Tiger’s "ferocious" expression was just about the most adorable thing possible. It was simply too cute, and the fondness in her gaze only intensified.

"Er... Little Tiger, stop messing around." Tang Yi paused for a moment, then scooped Little Tiger into his arms.

Little Tiger was still a cub, its body as small as a kitten’s, so Tang Yi held it easily.

"Is that your pet?" Mu Xianling asked, watching Tang Yi pick up Little Tiger.

Although she was asking Tang Yi, her gaze remained fixed on Little Tiger, making it so uncomfortable that it buried its head in Tang Yi’s chest.

"I suppose so," Tang Yi replied coolly.

"How much?" Mu Xianling asked directly, her tone imperious.

Tang Yi didn’t understand. "How much for what?" he asked, perplexed.

"Sell it to me. How much?" Mu Xianling said, pointing at Little Tiger, her eyes filled with adoration.

"Heh," Tang Yi chuckled coldly.

’Buy Little Tiger?’

’Even though he’s just a cub, he’s still a King Level Demon Beast!’

’What’s more, he has the potential to become a Venerable Level Demon Beast in the future. His potential is extraordinary.’

’Can you even afford him?’

But Tang Yi didn’t say any of this to Mu Xianling. He simply refused outright, "Not for sale!"

"You!" Mu Xianling gritted her teeth in frustration. She was furious with Tang Yi’s arrogant attitude, but she desperately wanted the little beast in his arms.

After a moment’s thought, Mu Xianling said, "Tang Yi, since you’re participating in this qualification exam, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"What kind of bet?" Tang Yi asked, not understanding why Mu Xianling was so insistent.

’There was no way he was going to sell Huzi.’

"In the third round, if you lose, you’ll give me that little beast in your arms. If I lose..."

"If I lose... you can name any condition you want!"

Mu Xianling said after a moment’s thought.

"I can name any condition I want?"

Hearing this, Tang Yi didn’t reply right away. Instead, his eyes swept over Mu Xianling, from head to toe and back up again.

Sensing his gaze, Mu Xianling frowned slightly.

Just then, Tang Yi spoke. "Alright, I accept. If I lose, Little Tiger is yours. But if you lose, you’ll be my servant for three years. How about it?"

"My servant for three years? Tang Yi, how dare you propose such a condition? What right do you have? Besides, your stake is just a little beast! How dare you put a little beast on the same level as me?" Mu Xianling’s anger flared the moment she heard his words.

"You’re the one who told me to name my terms," Tang Yi said nonchalantly. "It’s up to you whether you accept. You’re the one who suggested the bet, after all. It has nothing to do with me."

"You!" Mu Xianling pointed a finger at Tang Yi’s nose, her heart blazing with anger.

Mu Xianling had actually known Tang Yi since they were children. After all, they were both from clans in Fengyue City, so the younger generation had inevitably crossed paths.

Mu Xianling had long known that Tang Yi was unable to cultivate, that he was a Big Waste with a cowardly personality. When they were little, she and her friends had even bullied him.

But after not seeing him for a few years, she was surprised to find he had become so composed. His cowardice was gone, and he spoke without any intention of backing down. His temperament and personality had undergone a complete transformation.

He had even received an examination waiver from the Chief Examiner.

When she had just learned that Tang Yi received the waiver, she hadn’t been unconcerned. In fact, she had paid very close attention and was deeply shocked.

Because that simply wasn’t something a Big Waste should have been able to achieve!

Mu Xianling was not naive enough to believe the Chief Examiner would really let a powerless waste enter the third round.

How could the West Mansion possibly do such a thing?

They weren’t fools!

While no one would dare to say anything to their face, there would certainly be gossip behind their backs. The West Mansion would surely lose face over this.

Therefore, this proved that Tang Yi must now be able to cultivate and already possessed considerable strength.

That must be why the West Mansion’s Chief Examiner valued him and granted him the waiver.

This was what Mu Xianling had concluded.

She wasn’t stupid. On the contrary, she was very clever.

But even so, Mu Xianling didn’t believe for a second that Tang Yi could possibly beat her.

After all, even if Tang Yi could cultivate now, how many years had it been? She, on the other hand, had been cultivating since childhood. She was already a Battle Grandmaster, a leader of the younger generation with a limitless future.

How could Tang Yi possibly compare to that?

"Fine! I accept! A servant for three years, is it? We’ll see about that after you actually manage to beat me!"

After a long moment of deliberation, Mu Xianling finally gave her answer.
