Even though her heart was churning with turmoil, Ye Shuang showed no sign of it on her face. She appeared completely unconcerned about its provocation and calmly retorted, "Does a spirit beast on the verge of degenerating into a demon beast have the right to say such a thing?"
The tiger wasn't angry; instead, it seemed quite relaxed, as if reuniting with an old friend. It slowly lay down, its wings tucked into its back, and its deep, resonant voice rang out again: "The mortal realm is doomed. Chaos is about to erupt. There are many in the cultivation world eyeing the merit of pacifying this chaos. Aren't you tempted?"
Ye Shuang stood with her hands behind her back, looking up at the sky. A serious and earnest expression appeared on her youthful face, unlike her usual demeanor. She was wearing an ordinary floral cotton-padded jacket, which would normally be somewhat comical. But for some reason, perhaps because the moonlight was too bright and shone on her, she seemed as aloof and otherworldly as she had always been: "The imperial star is dimming and about to fall, which means that this chaotic world has only just begun. It is too early to talk about pacifying the world now."
"The world's situation changes in an instant. You and I are but a drop in the ocean of this world. Who can know what the stars will look like tomorrow?" The tiger's eyes were fixed on Ye Shuang's small figure. As expected of the legendary Master Ye who dominated the cultivation world, he was not moved by his few words. "I am not the only spirit beast and demon beast coming to the mortal world. The cultivators who want a share of the pie are probably arriving soon. Aren't you afraid?"
Ye Shuang smiled lightly: "Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate. I don't care where this chaotic trend will ultimately lead. I suppose those cultivators who only want merit will not take me seriously. As for those demonic beasts, I have Bai Xue, that's enough."
The tiger saw that she was standing in front of the hut, seemingly trying to stop it from passing. Remembering the little white wolf who had been guarding the humans, the tiger vaguely understood something and chuckled, "To protect ordinary humans in this chaotic world, relying solely on a white wolf that has just gained sentience is probably too much to ask, isn't it? Not to mention you're currently severely injured and can't use any spiritual power. The spiritual power in the mortal realm is extremely thin. By the time you recover, these humans will probably already be nothing but bones."
Ye Shuang looked at the tiger, aware of the current situation, and could even tell that she was seriously injured, yet she had no intention of eating her: "Speak, what do you want?"
"I want to make a deal with you." The tiger approached, its size decreasing with each step until it reached Ye Shuang's side, at which point it was the same size as her. "I'm about to lose control and turn into a demon beast. I know you have a way to stop this. If you can prevent me from turning into a demon beast, I'm willing to be at your beck and call in the mortal realm until I leave this mortal realm."
Ye Shuang narrowed her eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I don't know where you heard this news from. I have no way to solve your situation. Even if I did, I have no spiritual power right now. I would be willing but unable to do so. You really overestimate me."
The tiger spat out another emerald green bead from its mouth. The bead was translucent and shiny, and it was clear at a glance that it was no ordinary bead. However, it did not care at all and pushed the bead to Ye Shuang's feet.
"This is a spirit bead from a seventh-tier spirit beast, which is considered an additional reward. With this spirit bead, even if you cannot recover to your peak condition, it will be enough for you to use your spiritual power to protect yourself."
A seventh-tier spirit beast! Ye Shuang twitched the corner of her mouth. This was a spirit beast equivalent to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and the spirit bead was the crystallization of the spirit beast's entire cultivation. It could be said that this was a bead containing all the spiritual power of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
It has to be said that she was genuinely tempted, after all, she really disliked this state of being at someone's mercy.
