The mist tiger lowered its head and lay on the ground, its fluffy tail swaying from side to side.

Where is the majestic tiger now?

It's clearly a domesticated big cat!

Li Dongfan and his daughter Li Lu exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Ignoring their incredulous gazes, Lu Yuan walked up to Wu Hu.

Li Dongfan quickly stopped him upon seeing this.

"Don't……"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yuan reached out and touched Wu Hu's head.

Li Dongfan felt a chill run down his spine.

Oh no!

That brat surnamed Lu is too arrogant and ignorant; he'll definitely be swallowed whole by the Mist Tiger!

However.

A shocking scene unfolded.

Instead of swallowing Lu Yuan whole, Wu Hu raised his head slightly to touch Lu Yuan's outstretched hand.

Even without using the contract to sense it, Li Dongfan could see a fawning and obsequious expression on the furry face of the Mist Tiger.

It looked no different from a house cat that was being affectionate with its owner.

It was practically lying on the ground, waiting for Lu Yuan to scratch its belly!

Lu Yuan gently stroked the Mist Tiger's head, using the system to perform a full scan of it.

The process lasted a full minute.

During the scan, Fog Tiger was very well-behaved and showed no signs of reluctance or even resistance.

This surprised the father and daughter who were watching from the side even more!

Is this docile and obedient house cat really the real Wuhu?

Or are they hallucinating?

"What did you do to Mist Tiger?"

Li Dongfan finally couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't do anything," Lu Yuan replied with a smile.

"Impossible! Fog Tiger has never allowed outsiders to get close!" Li Dongfan retorted excitedly.

Apart from him, Wu Hu never allowed anyone else to get close. Even Li Lu, who was related to him by blood, dared not come within a meter of Wu Hu.

Lu Yuan not only got closer, but even reached out and touched the head of the Mist Tiger!

Fog Tiger hasn't let him touch his head in a long time!

Li Lu glanced up at Li Dongfan, whose face was pale, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

How could she smell such a strong scent of vinegar?

"Perhaps because I run a pet shop and deal with pet cubs all year round, I've picked up their scent, which made Mist Tiger think I was the same kind as it?" Lu Yuan replied calmly.

"I see." Li Lu nodded, looking at Lu Yuan with envy in her eyes. "Mist Tiger never lets me get close. Manager Lu is really amazing!"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

He had only been in Yunlei City for a little over a week, how could he possibly make Mist Tiger lower its guard just by his aura?

His true strength, of course, lies in his SSS-level beast-taming talent, which commands the submission of all beasts!

All the beasts in the world, when facing him, will unconsciously feel fear or closeness, and subconsciously submit to him.

Presumably, Mist Tiger could tell that his relationship with Li Lu was quite good, so it didn't show any fear. Instead, under the effect of all the beasts submitting, it couldn't help but get close to him and try to please him.

After all, the Submission of All Beasts is an SSS-level talent, and its effect is something that even a beast tamer of the Earth Spirit level cannot resist!

But he could never tell anyone the real reason.

Li Dongfan frowned, staring intently at Lu Yuan, clearly not believing his explanation at all.

Was he mistaken for one of their own by Mist Tiger?

That kind of talk is only good for fooling kids!

This kid definitely has something up his sleeve.

But if the other person is unwilling to say more, he won't be so tactless as to ask.

Based on Lu Yuan's performance, he inexplicably felt a sense of anticipation for what was to come.

He couldn't help but ask Lu Yuan, "How is Mist Tiger?"

Lu Yuan glanced at him and replied with a smile, "Instead of talking about Wu Hu's situation, let's talk about Uncle Li's situation."

"I?"

Li Dongfan looked puzzled.

“That’s right.” Lu Yuan nodded and continued, “The Mist Tiger itself didn’t have any problems. Ultimately, the problem lies with you, Uncle Li.”

Upon hearing this, Li Dongfan's eyes lit up.

Do you know what happened to me?

Lu Yuan didn't beat around the bush and explained directly, "Due to certain reasons, your foundation was damaged, and the Mist Tiger's abilities were also suppressed. You can't control all the power, so naturally you can't unleash your full strength."

"Therefore, Mist Tiger suffers from unstable innate skills and a persistent inability to increase his strength."

After listening to Lu Yuan's analysis, Li Dongfan was completely stunned!

Years ago, when he was still the heir to the Li family.

In order to secure a higher status for the Li family, he led Mist Tiger into many battles.

However, he was no match for Kong Luanshan and was injured by him, which damaged his foundation.

After that battle.

Not only is there no possibility of him improving his cultivation level, but his status as heir has also been taken away by the clan leader and handed over to his younger brother.

These things were never publicized.

Even when changing successors, his public statement was that he had realized his own inadequacy after the defeat and was willing to abdicate.

The number of people in the entire Yunlei City who knew that his foundation had been damaged could be counted on one hand.

How did Lu Yuan find out?

Could it be that Li Lu told him?

Seeing Li Dongfan looking at Li Lu with a suspicious and inquisitive gaze, Lu Yuan smiled and spoke.

"Uncle Li, there's no need to guess. Miss Li didn't tell me these things."

Seeing through his thoughts with a single sentence from Lu Yuan, Li Dongfan looked embarrassed and simply asked, "Then how did you know?"

Lu Yuan did not answer his question, but instead said something profound.

"Uncle Li, please understand."

"Youth does not equal incompetence!"

Li Dongfan's body trembled instantly.

That's right.

His first impression of Lu Yuan when he entered the store was: this young man is too young.

Because of his youth, he believed that Lu Yuan could not possibly possess any real skills.

He's just good at talking and coaxing young girls like Li Lu.

How could someone possess abilities beyond those of ordinary people?

Lu Yuan's words were like a wake-up call, suddenly jolting him awake!

"For my situation, does Manager Lu have a solution?"

The contempt in Li Dongfan's eyes when he looked at Lu Yuan was gone, and his humble tone made it seem as if he were talking to a peer.

This change left Li Lu speechless.

She couldn't help but look at Lu Yuan with starry eyes.

Store Manager Lu is amazing!

Lu Yuan coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed.

Cough cough!

Keep a low profile!

After composing himself, Lu Yuan replied, "Uncle Li's situation can certainly be resolved, but..."

Seeing that Lu Yuan seemed hesitant, Li Dongfan's heart skipped a beat.

"Please speak freely, Manager Lu. I have already prepared for the worst!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan stated directly:

"The solution requires a hefty price; I wonder if Uncle Li can afford it?"
