Opposite him was a tiger, a tiger a whole size larger than the European Emperor, but the European Emperor was not afraid.
This wasn't the first time it had dealt with a tiger.
"Mr. Chen, are you sure you're alright?" Yu Xuan asked with some concern. He had tried to run away, but Chen Yang stopped him.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of things," Chen Yang said, holding a throwing knife.
This was Yu Xuan's first time entering the Micro Realm, and he knew nothing about Chen Yang. Chen Yang's words were completely unconvincing to him.
He then turned his gaze to the tiger and was surprised to find that the tiger actually seemed to be retreating.
This is a tiger, for crying out loud, yet it backed down when faced with a dog.
Yu Xuan was unaware that, in the tiger's intuition, the European Emperor was definitely no less formidable than its opponent. The tiger wasn't hungry at the moment, so of course it didn't intend to fight the European Emperor to the death.
Animals are driven by survival; survival is their instinct and everything. Of course, they won't confront an enemy that they don't need to face.
The bear duo, Lucky and Blackie, had long dominated the area. This wasn't the first time the tiger had sensed Lucky's presence, so it wisely chose to avoid them.
However, the European Emperor was not happy about its withdrawal.
"Woof!" the European king barked provocatively, then moved closer.
Although this tiger didn't want to clash with the lucky one, the lucky one had already pushed it to this point, so if it backed down now, it would be unworthy of its title as the king of beasts.
The two quickly engaged in a fierce battle, though it wasn't yet a life-or-death struggle, it was still extremely intense.
The fight between the European Emperor and the tiger was evenly matched. After a while, Chen Yang told the European Emperor to retreat, and only then did the tiger leave.
Yu Xuan was quite shocked. It was the first time he had ever seen such a powerful dog that could fight a tiger to a standstill; it was simply astonishing. It was common knowledge that large felines were stronger than canines, but now, that common knowledge had been overturned.
Whether it was the lucky one, the tiger, or everything in the micro-world, the impact on Yu Xuan was enormous.
This day was absolutely the most special day of his life, without exception.
"Boss, I might not be able to finish carving for a while," Yu Xuan said.
"What's wrong, no inspiration?"
Yu Xuan shook his head and said, "I want to carve a larger one, which will take longer."
Chen Yang chuckled and said, "Okay, can it be completed in three months? I'm currently building a new inn and would like to put this sculpture in it."
Yu Xuan nodded and said, "No problem."
“If you try to do something big, you’ll lose money. Consider it a purchase by me,” Chen Yang said.
Yu Xuan quickly waved his hand and said, "No, I owe you too much, boss. Consider this a gift from me to you for your new inn."
“Then I’ll accept. I’ll provide the wood for the statue; I’ll use the best. You can choose.” Chen Yang said with a smile.
Yu Xuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
If the best wood is to be used, he really can't afford it. Even if he uses the proceeds from the recent auction, it would only barely cover a small portion. Carpentry can sometimes be very expensive.
“When our blacksmith returns, have him forge you a set of tools. The Microverse has an endless supply of wood for you to use,” Chen Yang said.
Yu Xuan belatedly realized what was happening, and only after Chen Yang reminded him did he reveal an expression of ecstatic joy.
Yes, the wood in the micro-world is all unclaimed and has never been cut down. There is so much good wood that he can use it freely, and he could use it all in his lifetime.
This is simply a paradise for woodworking!
After returning to the camp, Chen Yang secretly took out the ox horn and gave it to Yu Xuan when Li Su'er wasn't paying attention.
"Yu Xuan, you are very skilled. Could you do some simple carving on these ox horns, like a common phoenix design?"
Yu Xuan nodded and said, "No problem."
Although ox horn and wood are different, they are both for carving. As long as you are careful, Yu Xuan can do it. In addition to wood, he has also used other materials for carving. He has been exposed to all kinds of stones and jade. Occasionally, he can earn extra money by doing this, otherwise he would starve to death.
Chen Yang had a little ulterior motive in bringing Yu Xuan into the micro-world.
He had been preparing these bull horns for a long time, originally intending to have Grandpa Yun carve them for him. After discovering Yu Xuan, Chen Yang thought of having Yu Xuan carve them for him.
The next day, Yun Hu went to collect the statue and gave the money to Yu Xuan. Both of them were very happy.
Grandpa Yun brought the statue to the inn to show it off, which shows how much he really loves it.
This roc statue truly lives up to its reputation as Yu Xuan's most prized work; it is indeed worth the price.
Every feather of the roc is meticulously depicted, its eyes are incredibly sharp and gleaming, and its posture as if it is about to fly to the ninth heaven is perfectly captured. It is a work that truly has a soul.
Yu Xuan did not come to the inn. The first thing he did after he had money was to move and find a better place.
According to Yun Hu, the place where Yu Xuan lived was a converted garage, dark and damp. Its only advantage was that it had a separate bathroom installed for him.
Now that he has money, Yu Xuan can finally live in a better place.
“I have many friends who like wood carving. I’ll have Yu Xuan bring over all his previous works for a small exhibition sometime, so he can become famous,” Guo Zifeng said.
“I think he needs an agent,” said Zhang Jian, who happened to be at the inn.
Everyone agreed with Zhang Jian's idea because Zhang Jian and Yu Xuan were very similar. If it weren't for Lin Ke helping Zhang Jian, he might have ended up selling paintings on the streets. Sanpang might become Sanshou.
When Zhang Jian heard that Yu Xuan was going to make a large wooden carving for the European Emperor, he was very envious. However, looking at his own Sanpang, he gave up the idea of asking Yu Xuan to make one for him as well.
At least the European Emperor is majestic and powerful, but Kim Jong-un... well, let's not talk about it.
Li Su'er took Ou Huang to get his fur trimmed, preparing to take him to a pet dog competition. Sanpang also went along, because one of the events involved interacting with other pets, which was also a talent show.
This pet dog competition is an international event, with China as the host country and the finals held in Beijing, while Hangzhou is just a sub-venue.
Li Su'er didn't really want to participate in the finals. She just wanted to win the regional championship, get the doghouse, and then leave. As for the finals, she could just forfeit them.
Sanpang also benefited from this, being taken to get his fur trimmed and bathed.
Most cats dislike these things, but Sanpang is an exception; he doesn't hate taking baths at all.
Other cats look much thinner after being wet, but Sanpang remains as fat as ever. Even the pet store owner couldn't help but wonder how he managed to get so fat.
Nine out of ten orange cats are fat, and the tenth one is as big as an elephant. Sanpang is definitely that one that's as big as an elephant.
Once everything was ready, they drove off to the race.
When people learned that the lucky winner was going to participate in the pet dog competition, quite a few locals came to join in the fun.
They mainly came to watch the lucky guy show off. The lucky guy was like a pet that everyone in the camp raised together, and everyone had feelings for him.
Therefore, everyone knows how amazing the "European Emperor" is. Whether it's intelligence, physical strength, or combat ability, the "European Emperor" is second to none.
This isn't a dog beauty pageant, but even if it were, this dog wouldn't necessarily lose, because it's just too handsome—the Edison Chen of dogs! Its majestic appearance would definitely charm a whole bunch of female dogs.
Seeing how the lucky guy amazes everyone is, how could anyone miss it?
