When the white-haired girl saw a man appear, not only falling into the room but also into her bathtub, her eyes immediately flashed with icy killing intent.
She raised her fair hand, her fingers sharp as knives, cutting through space. The terrifying aura of a fifth-tier magical beast was released, capable of killing even a Nascent Soul stage expert.
Caught off guard, Lin Fan hadn't even realized what was happening when the tiger's claw stopped just an inch from his forehead, about to strike him.
After the white-haired girl saw his face clearly, she was stunned for a moment, then withdrew her fair hand, her pretty face turning red and steaming.
"Lady Ping, what's wrong?" A maid's voice came from outside the door. They had noticed something was wrong in the room and were about to open it to come in.
The white-haired girl hurriedly grabbed Lin Fan's head, pressed him into the bathtub, and then used a restrictive technique to isolate their presence.
Two maids looked over curiously, wanting to come and serve her, but the white-haired girl parted her red lips slightly, her voice like pearls, and said calmly, "You two can go out first, I want to be alone."
Upon hearing this, the maid bowed to her and then began to leave and close the door.
She was the Holy Maiden of the Tiger Clan, born on a snowy night. The snow falling at her birth seemed to crown her, and her rare white hair shone like the purest frost and snow on a clear winter day.
The Holy Maiden not only inherited the purest bloodline of the Tiger Clan, but also possessed an unparalleled beauty. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, and her eyes were like autumn waters brimming with light. Every frown and smile was enough to make everything in the world pale in comparison.
The white-haired girl only let go of their hands after they closed the door, and Lin Fan looked at her with a strange expression.
It seemed as if he had stumbled into the territory of the tiger clan by accident, and even entered the boudoir of a tigress of considerable status.
She showed no intention of causing trouble. Instead, she blushed, turned away from him, and didn't say a word.
Lin Fan left the bathtub, feeling embarrassed. The white-haired girl secretly turned around and glanced at him. Seeing that his gaze was looking around the room and not on her, she quietly put on her clothes.
Bang
Hearing the door close, Lin Fan's face twitched slightly. Could she have sent someone to deal with him?
He also knew about the Tiger Clan's situation; they had an old monster at the Tribulation Transcending stage guarding them, and he had absolutely no chance of survival.
If there was any chance of survival, it would have been when she was still in the room and someone suddenly grabbed her and took her hostage.
However, the aura emanating from her is very strong. It would be extremely difficult to capture a fifth-tier tiger clan expert, especially since the tiger clan expert would detect his attack the moment he made it, and he would die even faster.
He took out the Boundary-Breaking Talisman and saw that the treasure had been broken into several pieces, indicating that it had run out of uses.
"System, do you still have any boundary-breaking talismans?" he asked in a low voice.
However, the system did not reply to him. Creak, the door opened again after a short while, and the white-haired girl moved gracefully, head down, holding a set of clothes in her hands. She placed it in front of him, then turned and ran to the side.
Lin Fan: ?
Not only did she not call for help, she also took my clothes, which means she must have seen the bloodstains on my clothes.
"Am I so handsome that the heavens and the people are angry? Why did the tiger clan beauty fall in love with me at first sight?" Lin Fan thought to himself, otherwise he couldn't think of any reason why the tiger clan girl would do this.
Or do they have feudalistic ideas about humankind, believing that if someone sees your body, you have to repay them with your own?
"My name is Lin Fan, an unknown rogue cultivator. May I ask how you are addressed, young lady?" He changed his clothes and bowed to the white-haired girl.
I have to say this outfit suits me perfectly; it feels like it was tailor-made for me, knowing my size.
"Wonderful...wonderful..." the white-haired girl stammered, her words tinged with shyness.
"Meow?"
Lin Fan was a little confused. Were all tigers so reserved and introverted? This didn't match the rumors of them being ruthless, decisive, and fierce.
It's clearly a tiger, but its name is the same as a kitten's?
He tried to approach, but the white-haired girl jumped up, ran over, picked up his clothes, covered her face, and rushed out of the room.
"My God, what is all this?" He covered his forehead, completely bewildered.
"Do I really have to repay her with my body? Judging from her status, she probably won't marry outside the family. Should I marry into her family?" He pondered to himself, thinking that the two were of different races, and a forced union would not bring happiness.
But if she tells the elders of the tiger clan, can she deny it? She'll be lucky if she's not killed.
He knew he couldn't just sit and wait to die, so he tiptoed to the door, hoping to escape by using the aura of the Heaven-Shielding Pearl.
"Young friend, where are you headed?" A deep, resonant voice came from behind him as soon as he climbed over the courtyard wall.
Lin Fan froze, then turned around and saw an old man sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, smiling at him.
A sixth-tier magical beast! He thought to himself, "To run into such an old monster as soon as I step outside, is the heavens trying to kill me?"
"Please sit down!" the old man said humbly, pointing to the stone bench beside him.
Lin Fan walked over calmly, but his mind was racing with thoughts of whether he could escape.
He secretly assessed the strength of the sixth-tier elder of the Tiger Clan. At his age, he was probably at the peak of the sixth tier. It would be almost impossible to escape from such a powerful figure.
"Tell me, who sent you?" the old man asked with a smile.
Lin Fan was completely bewildered. Did the old man have some kind of misunderstanding?
"Senior, there's a misunderstanding!" he replied somewhat guiltily.
"Oh, you sneaked into my clan's holy maiden's room. What misunderstanding could there be? Speak, what exactly are your intentions? Could it be that you want to kidnap my clan's holy maiden?" The old man narrowed his eyes, instantly releasing a strong killing intent.
His gaze was icy, and his killing intent was intense. If Lin Fan said the wrong thing, he would die on the spot.
A saintess? That white-haired loli girl is actually the saintess of the Tiger Clan? He thought to himself that he was doomed this time.
Sensing the old man's murderous intent, Lin Fan didn't know what to say.
He said he was being chased by blood-red bats, and then used a boundary-breaking talisman, but the space was thrown into chaos by a giant hand that could reach the sky, and he fell into the tiger clan.
In the past, he might have been able to tell people and even offer some explanation, but since the Bear Clan's Holy Maiden had been kidnapped and he had come out of the Tiger Clan's Holy Maiden's room, no matter how he explained, he wouldn't believe him.
Just as he was contemplating whether to force his way out, a tiger cub hurriedly ran over. It stood upright, its head and body fierce and upright like a human.
It glanced at Lin Fan with a complicated look in its eyes, then bowed to the old man and whispered a few words in his ear.
The old man's expression changed slightly, and he asked with some doubt, "Really?"
“Really!” the young tiger nodded, confirming.
"Okay, I understand. You may leave now." The old man waved his hand, and the young tiger quickly departed.
The old man concealed his aura, then looked at Lin Fan with a strange gaze. The murderous intent on his old face dissipated, and a gentle smile appeared. He said, "Haha, young friend, you have come all this way to visit my Tiger Clan. You must be very tired. We will immediately prepare a banquet to welcome you and wash away the dust of your journey."
Lin Fan was filled with questions. Just a moment ago, his face was full of murderous intent, but in the blink of an eye, he was kind, smiling, and tactful. Was he learning to change his expression?
He wondered if the Tiger Clan members were all mentally ill.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, senior!" Lin Fan said, going along with his suggestion.
He couldn't be sure what the old man wanted to do, and if he refused, who knew if the old man would get angry.
Upon hearing this, the old man stroked his white beard and then pulled Lin Fan aside to ask about everyday matters, showing great enthusiasm.
Lin Fan also learned some things, at least the name of the Holy Maiden: Hong Yinping, the Holy Maiden of the Tiger Clan, the biological daughter of the Tiger King, who had just taken human form in the ancestral land.
"You've already come out of her room, how come you don't know her name?" the old man asked curiously.
A man who can enter a saint's boudoir couldn't possibly not know her name, right?
“She just told me her name is Meow Meow!” Lin Fan said.
"Miaomiao is her given name. So she didn't tell you her real name!" The old man stroked his beard. No wonder.
They've already entered the saint's boudoir, yet they only reveal their maiden name. Isn't that obvious?
Only her elders could call her by her maiden name, and secondly, her husband could. The fact that the Holy Maiden allowed the human boy in front of her to call her by her maiden name shows her heart.
Although they are human, it seems that crossing races is not impossible if the Holy Maiden is willing.
"So she just said her name was Miaomiao!"
Lin Fan thought to himself, when he asked the Tiger Clan Saintess earlier, she said her name was Miaomiao. So that's why. He thought it was the name of a little kitten.
The old man looked at Lin Fan and found him increasingly pleasing to the eye, just like an elder looking at his son-in-law.
Lin Fan could tell from his expression that he was in trouble. He probably knew that Lin Fan had seen the Holy Maiden's body, so he was planning to marry Lin Fan into the family.
He hoped the Tiger Clan's Holy Maiden wouldn't fancy him, but recalling the scene in the room, it seemed unrealistic. The Holy Maiden seemed to have feelings for him, and he had a headache.
"I hope I'm just overthinking it," Lin Fan thought to himself.
Soon the tiger clan finished preparing the welcoming banquet, and the old man stood up and laughed heartily, "Young friend, please come with me!"
He then invited Lin Fan to the main hall of the Tiger King's Palace, where the Tiger King, dressed in black armor, had just returned from outside.
The Tiger King's eyes were sharp as lightning, and its momentum was like a rainbow. It released the pressure of a beast king invisibly. Its tiger-like steps distorted the space and its aura was overwhelming.
The Tiger King's Palace prepared a banquet, with countless servants bustling about. Lin Fan looked at the servants of the Tiger Clan, who were from smaller clans such as the Deer Clan, Roe Deer Clan, Wolf Clan, and Horse Clan.
They have not yet taken human form, but they can walk upright and their hands and feet are as nimble as those of humans. They serve the tiger clan.
Looking at the figures pacing back and forth in the Tiger King Palace, Lin Fan almost wondered if he had entered a zoo.
Upon seeing a human enter, all the tribes in the Tiger King's Palace showed surprise. Even the servants who were working occasionally cast curious glances at him.
"Ancestor, who is this?"
Some young tigers ran over and asked questions. They were tiger-headed and had not yet taken human form, but they could already speak human language.
"This is the most important guest tonight!" the Tiger Clan Ancestor said with a smile.
The young tiger clan member blinked his adorable big eyes, looking puzzled.
