Chapter 77 Crossing the Tribulation Tiger Demon

Han Yuzhang stared expressionlessly at Zhu Shi'an, who appeared before his bed.

All he wanted to say was that they weren't familiar enough to be completely honest with each other. Without making a sound, he pulled the blanket up, trying to cover his shoulders.

"Um, please wait outside for a moment, sir. I'll be right back," he said, forcing himself to remain calm.

Zhu Shi'an, however, did not want to wait: "Why should we wait? Can't Lord Han help me now?"

As he spoke, he looked Han Yuzhang up and down suspiciously, wondering if he was also colluding with that fox demon and trying to secretly tip him off.

With this in mind, he would never leave Han Yuzhang alone.

Han Yuzhang, unable to bear it any longer, suddenly sat up, slapped the blanket, and said, "Why do you think I am? It's because I'm not wearing any clothes right now! Do you want me to show you my naked body?"

Zhu Shi'an: !!!

Need not!

He took three large steps back abruptly, turned his head to the side, and said, "No! Lord Han, please get dressed first. I was being presumptuous. I will wait for you outside the door!"

After he finished speaking, he fled.

This Han Yuzhang is so unhygienic; he sleeps without clothes on!

Seeing his disheveled figure, Han Yuzhang's anger subsided somewhat.

He got out of bed, got dressed, and then opened the door and went out.

He glanced at the person standing with their back to the door, forcibly suppressing his dissatisfaction, and even his usual fear of the Heavenly Decree was gone.

He said irritably, "I'm sorry to have troubled you for so long, Lord Zhu. Let me check the state of your demonic power."

Zhu Shi'an then turned to face him.

Han Yuzhang placed his palm on the man's chest, extending his internal energy to probe for any abnormalities within his body.

After a long silence, he withdrew his hand, frowned, and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Zhu, I am powerless to help with the demonic power within you."

Zhu Shi'an looked up at him: "You are the most capable person in Jiangzhou City, how could you not be able to solve this?"

"The owner of this wisp of demonic power seems to be about the same strength as me, but his demonic power is very solid and much more troublesome. Moreover, that demonic power is intertwined with your power. If I forcibly eliminate the demonic power, I'm afraid it will hurt you and turn you into an ordinary person."

Han Yuzhang stared at him, he didn't believe that Zhu Shi'an would rather become an ordinary person in order to eliminate demonic power.

As expected, Zhu Shi'an fell silent after he said that.

"In that case, I'll take my leave!"

Zhu Shi'an did not stay any longer and turned to leave.

It seems he needs to continue with his previous plan: to help the little fox demon repay her kindness as soon as possible, and to get the two demons, the old and the young, to leave quickly so he can gain his freedom soon.

But this would require manpower. After thinking for a moment, he took out a signal flare from his waist after leaving Jiangzhou City.

Suddenly, a white ball of light shot into the sky overhead, trailing a trail of black smoke.

The ten people near Jiangzhou City looked up sharply. The white orb of light was very conspicuous in the dark night sky. They recognized it at a glance as the signal flare for the Tianluo Zhao assembly.

They moved swiftly and converged in the direction of the signal flare.

On the other side, Shao Yanzhe and his friends got up and washed before dawn.

This place is some distance from Jiangzhou City, so you need to set off early if you want to get there in time.

The four people and a cat boarded a slow-moving oxcart and set off towards Jiangzhou City.

By the time they arrived in Jiangzhou City, it was already broad daylight. A bustling crowd entered through the city gate, and there were many vendors on both sides of the road calling out their wares. Among them, the most common vendors sold dogwood and chrysanthemums, and their stalls were also decorated with various sachets.

"Freshly picked dogwood! Wearing one will ward off insects and evil spirits! Gentlemen and ladies, please have one! May evil spirits stay away and all diseases be cured!"

Shao Yanzhe looked over and saw a girl holding several red dogwood berries, their petals faintly covered with dew.

"Chrysanthemums for sale! White chrysanthemums, yellow chrysanthemums, purple chrysanthemums, all kinds of colors are here! Wearing one in your hair will make you more beautiful than the flower!"

"Kite! Kite! Let's buy it to fly a kite!"

"Five-tiered pagoda-shaped flower cake, sweet with red dates, fragrant with chestnuts, and crunchy with almonds. Eat it while climbing up, and it will surely bring you success in every step!"

Shao Yanzhe's eyes could hardly keep up with everything; he hadn't expected the Double Ninth Festival to be so lively in ancient times.

He held onto Xiaobai to prevent him from getting lost.

"Brother! Brother! I want to buy a kite!"

Little White looked up at the beautiful kite and was instantly captivated.

"OK!"

Shao Yanzhe was also attracted and did not refuse, so he spent money to buy it.

Afterwards, the group strolled around, buying dogwood, chrysanthemums, sachets, and pastries, before finally joining the crowd to climb mountains in the suburbs.

Little White ran around on the grass with a kite in his hand, holding the kite string and letting out only a short section. The huge kite made a whooshing sound as it flew behind him.

"Hahaha!"

Little White let out a happy laugh.

He loosened the string in his hand, and the huge kite soared into the air with a whoosh, flying higher and higher until it was just a small black dot in the sky.

Shao Yanzhe looked up at the kite in the blue sky and unconsciously grinned.

His gaze swept around, and he spotted several other small dots in the sky, vaguely recognizing beautiful kites that were different from Xiaobai's.

"roar!"

A sudden roar shattered the joyful atmosphere.

A flock of birds suddenly took flight from the dense forest.

The relaxed and laughing crowd instantly turned into panic. Some people even accidentally let their kite strings come loose, and a beautiful kite suddenly rose a little higher before spinning and falling from the sky.

With a snap, the kite fell to the ground.

The kite's owner was a little girl. She took a few steps forward, wanting to pick up the kite, but was pulled back by an adult.

Shao Yanzhe stared warily at the woods from which the strange noise came. The sound he had just heard resembled that of a tiger, but there were subtle differences.

However, he had not heard of any tiger activity in the vicinity.

Just then, a colossal creature, five meters tall, emerged from the dense forest beside them, snapping all the trees that stood in its way.

Xiao Bai had stopped by this time. He carefully put away the kite and protected it behind him. He watched the tiger demon that appeared in front of him warily and slowly retreated to Shao Yanzhe's side.

"What is that? A tiger?" Zhou Jiming asked in a panic.

This enormous creature was entirely white with black stripes, exuding a terrifying aura; it was a tiger with piercing eyes and a white forehead!

No, it should be tiger demon!

Ordinary tigers wouldn't be this big; only tigers that have become sentient can grow so large.

The tiger demon's eyes were filled with savagery and greed. It turned its head and scanned the area in front of it, its greedy gaze landing on the humans in front of it, and finally staring at the most conspicuous human among them.

This human looks very thin; you can tell at a glance that he doesn't have much flesh on his body.

But it could smell a strong, enticing aroma emanating from him, an aroma it had never smelled before, which made it hungry.

As for the two fox-like demons beside him, he simply ignored them.

"A monster!"

"Run!"

"Waaaaah! Father! Mother!"

"My little girl!"

The people of Jiangzhou City who had gone out for a spring outing and to climb mountains finally realized what was happening and ran back towards Jiangzhou City with expressions of fear.

The crowd rioted, and a little girl who was being held by her parents was knocked aside. She fell to the ground, looked at the tall stranger, and burst into tears, which made the whole scene even more agitated.

The tiger demon was quite satisfied with the chaos it had caused. It didn't care about the humans who were not even worth mentioning, and kept its eyes fixed on its target.

Even though its target was about the same size as those humans, in its eyes, that human was like a giant lantern, radiating a dazzling light, the most eye-catching existence among humans.

"Run!" Shao Yanzhe felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by some ferocious beast, and his heart pounded wildly.

He was pale-faced and nudged Zhou Jiming, waking him from his shock.

Zhou Jiming snapped out of his daze, then decisively carried the clan leader on his back and ran towards Jiangzhou City.

Shao Yanzhe was quick to act, urging Xuan Yao along and pulling Xiao Bai's wrist to follow behind.

But after running for a while, he could feel that the gazes fixed on him did not leave him; instead, they continued to surround him.

His heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.

Could this tiger demon be after him?

With this thought in mind, he subconsciously glanced back and met the tiger demon's playful yet tyrannical eyes.

His heart sank, and he realized that his premonition had come true.

The tiger demon sensed the target's gaze, opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth, lowered its body slightly, and suddenly unleashed the power of its limbs, running towards the target.

It caught up with its target after running for only a few seconds, but instead of immediately pursuing it, it opened its mouth and bit at the side of the target.

It was a little girl sitting blankly on the ground, crying loudly. She had fair skin and chubby cheeks, and her skin looked delicate and tender, like she would taste very soft.

The tiger demon thought that before eating the main meal, it would be good to have some appetizers to whet the appetite.

It snapped its mouth shut, its teeth clashing together, and the sudden feeling of biting into nothing made it very uncomfortable.

It shook its head, and then it felt a little better.

"roar!"

It roared angrily, not understanding how the snack it was about to eat had disappeared.

Its eyes swept around and it saw its little snacks nestled in its arms.

The tiger demon narrowed its eyes, its displeasure evident.

It walked around the feast, its tail occasionally slapping the ground with a loud thud, leaving a deep mark.

"Xiaobai, take her into Jiangzhou City first." Shao Yanzhe stuffed the blindfolded little girl into Xiaobai's arms.

"But!" Xiaobai wanted to refuse.

But Shao Yanzhe didn't give him a chance to refuse: "Hurry up, you're the fastest, I can't outrun that tiger demon."

What he didn't say was that the tiger demon was clearly coming for him, and by running away with the little girl in his arms, he was leading such a huge source of danger into Jiangzhou City.

Could it be that time travelers like him are so attractive to monsters?

He didn't think he was anything special!
