A sudden change!

The big tiger’s long tail suddenly swung like a thin arm. Yu Xingqiao only saw a flash of yellow shadow in front of him and was startled. 

But Jun Lu, who had been watching the tiger, reacted very intuitively and jumped away from the tiger the moment it moved.

However, his young body could not keep up with his consciousness. He dodged one blow, but reacted half a beat slower when faced with the second blow that followed.

AD

 

 

Just half a beat and his body was wrapped around tightly.

The big tiger’s tail was as tough as steel, and the roots of the fur were as hard as needles. With one roll, Jun Lu was directly unable to move. 

He didn’t just sit there and wait for death; the Shadow Tentacle quickly climbed up the neck of the big tiger, and Shadow Binding followed instantaneously!

 

The Lv3 Shadow Tentacle was able to strangle a lion, and the upgrade to Lv5 gave it a substantial improvement.

The big tiger was just trying to drag the little boy over when it felt something crawl up its neck and strangle tightly, making it gasp a little.

Although the neck was considered one of its weaknesses, the big tiger was an Intelligent species and had the high level strength of an SS. The strengthening of its weaknesses was naturally a high priority, so it did not immediately lose its resistance.

 

It looked at the shadows that bound it, and its mouth actually spewed out a mouthful of flame onto the ground.

Scorching flames rose to the sky, steaming hot, burning the ground weeds.

The fire quickly spread. It was clearly getting closer to the woods but a water mist suddenly appeared, stopping the spread of the fire.

The water mist that was sprayed was actually done by a magical beast hiding in the woods. It should be the big tiger’s companion. 

Jun Lu felt a burning pain.

Fire could restrain his shadows!

Currently, his only means of self-preservation was the skill of shadows. As for the skills that belonged to the Light Race, aside from natural talent, only the ability to absorb light was left.

That obviously wouldn’t help the current situation. 

And on the contrary, the tiger’s tail hadn’t loosened and even strangled more tightly.

It all happened so fast.

Meanwhile, Yu Xingqiao…….

Because of the shock, his health indicators showed obvious fluctuations, so much so that it alarmed the nurse lady, and at this moment was undergoing cross-examination and evaluation. 

“Jiejie, I was just surprised, I’m fine now, I’m really fine.”

Yu Xingqiao kept thinking about the game, however, but the nurse lady did not dare to overlook anything. All kinds of instruments took turns, finally waited until his indicators returned to normal, and then let him go.

 

“Then can I play for another fifteen minutes?”

Half an hour was almost up, and now that he had been interrupted for so long in the middle, Yu Xingqiao simply fought for his own welfare. 

From the teenager’s pitiful eyes, the nurse lady lost the battle.

“Ten minutes, ten more minutes to play and then you have to rest.”

Yu Xingqiao cheered, watched the nurse lady leave the room, and only then hurried to continue the game.

The battle in the game had ended. 

He swept through the cub log, and found that the big tiger’s fire could restrain the cub’s shadow, seeing as it was invincible, the cub could only temporarily retrieve his shadow.

Finally, the big tiger stopped spewing fire, and the spreading fire was contained.

And at this moment, the figure of a magical beast appeared from the surrounding woods, their eyes glowing while staring at the big tiger.

To be precise, they were staring at the little boy who was entangled with its tail. 

Upon seeing that the cub still had a full health bar, and had no bumps nor injuries aside from looking a little pale and his mana and stamina bars getting halved, Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the situation was not too bad.

Only Yu Xingqiao was not so calm.

Damn, this big tiger dared to bully his family’s cub in front of him! 

Yu Xingqiao even dared to touch that huge octopus, let alone this big tiger.

Just when the teenager was puffing up with anger and was about to teach it a lesson, the system box popped up.

 

[The cub says to you: “Master, don’t worry, I can handle it.”]

Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help but stare. 

Little Jun Lu wanted to solve it by himself? But he was so small, and the big tiger was so fierce, how was he going to solve it?

[Ding~ Triggered the branch line task [Walk actively along the path of life ], the cub wants to solve the crisis by himself! Your choice is:]

[1. Stand by and watch]

[2. Help decisively] 

Yu Xingqiao glanced at the little boy with black hair and red pupils, looking at his determined expression, he was torn to tap the option.

[You chose [1. Stand by and watch]]

[Instructions have been sent, please do not offer help until the cub’s crisis is resolved.]

Yu Xingqiao pursed his lips and continued to stare nervously at the game screen. 

Jun Lu waited for a while, then he saw a small golden word slowly floating in front of him.

“Okay.”

Looking at the word ‘okay’, he gently breathed a sigh of relief.

The master was indeed still watching him. He could no longer be as hopeless as before, asking the master to help him with everything. 

This time, he could solve the crisis by himself.

Although he was caught, he was not completely without any power to defend himself.

The big tiger rolled Jun Lu and dragged him closer to itself. Its copper bell-like tiger eyes looked him up and down and even brought its nose over to sniff at him.

Fishy breath and a nostril puffed on Jun Lu’s face and he couldn’t help but frown; his eyes showed a few fractions of disgust. 

Even until this moment, he hadn’t shown the slightest hint of fear.

“As expected of the Light Race, courageous, but unfortunately your strength is a little weak.”

 

Jun Lu looked back at him and said coldly, “You already know that I am one of the Light Race, yet you are so rude to me, aren’t you afraid?”

Saying that, he secretly mobilized the source power in his body. 

If Yu Xingqiao took a look at his panel of information at this moment, he would find that his mana bar was slowly increasing.

He continued to stall for time.

“I am temporarily separated from my guardian. As for the black colour on my body, it is just a disguise.”

“How dare you be so sure that I am an abandoned deformed species? ” 

“Treating one of the young of the Light Race in such a way, are you sure you can afford the consequences of all this?”

He sent a question one by one, calmly and loudly.

The more calm Jun Lu was, the more these words were like a hammer, hitting the big tiger’s heart one by one, causing it to have a hint of doubt once again.

Could it really be a wrong guess? 

The atmosphere in the woods, for a time, turned stagnant.

Birds and insects have long disappeared, leaving only the sound of rustling wind, and some impatient magical beasts, their claws scratching the ground lightly.

The big tiger looked at the little boy in front of him.

He looked so fragile, his figure small and thin, not yet as tall as one of his own legs. It seemed that with the slightest strangulation of his tail, he could be sent to the heavens. 

It’s just that his words made it hesitate again.

It was not one of those lowly magical beasts without spiritual intelligence that would be driven only by the instinct to seek evolution; on the contrary, he had quite a high intelligence.

At first, it was not prepared to do anything to this little cub, but knowing that it was an abandoned deformed species, it had a hint of greed in its heart.

But as the cub said, it had no solid evidence, and if it really angered Illustris’ Emperor for this, the consequences would be unthinkable. 

However, after thinking about it, the big tiger felt wrong again.

“Heh, don’t think about lying to me again!”

 

The Great Tiger said in a cold voice: “The Light Race is the noblest existence in the whole empire, if you weren’t an outcast, how could you have fallen to this level?”

“Not only does your appearance not look right, but you are also dressed in rags, and there is no guardian around!” 

Its words undoubtedly irritated Jun Lu, who clenched his fist, his small face caked with frost.

If he were in his prime, he wouldn’t even need a finger to deal with this big cat in front of him, so why bother with this kind of talk?

As for the guardian that its mouth spoke of ……

When he thought of the guards who were buried together on the airship in order to protect him, a layer of gloom was cast over his heart. 

The little boy’s red pupils were flushed with blood.

[Blackened Value +1]

[Blackened Value +1]

[Blackened Value +1] 

[……]

Crap!

Looking at the “Blackened Value +1” that appeared on the top of Little Jun Lu’s head, Yu Xingqiao cursed in anger and frustration.

As long as the blackened value reached +10, the main quest progress would become -1% ah! 

He had managed to bring the main quest progress back to positive, but a few words from this big tiger made him lose all his work again?

However, because he took that side quest, he couldn’t take action against the big tiger at all.

So infuriating!

How dare you say that my cub is dressed in rags? 

Yu Xingqiao gritted his teeth, clicked on the system mall, and opened the clothing section.

The most expensive clothes cost several million diamonds, which translated to hundreds of thousands of rmb, so of course he was not that crazy to buy such an expensive appearance.

 

He tapped to the cheapest range.

However, the clothes that were worth a few diamonds simply should not be seen. It was like those found in the slums. Yu Xingqiao resolutely skipped to the next level. 

Not satisfied, skipped.

Not nice to look at, skipped again.

Finally, he arrived at the section that costs a few thousand to tens of thousands of diamonds.

Finally, there were a few pieces of clothes that could look good. 

Yu Xingqiao exerted his amazing hand speed, quickly recharged successfully, and with his sharp eyes and superior aesthetics, bought a suit worth 10,000 diamonds.

Click, then one-click to wear.

As a result, a line of small characters from the system suddenly appeared in front of Jun Lue’s eyes.

[Transformation in progress] 

He froze for a moment, and his blackened emotions froze for a moment.

What does this mean?

And when the big tiger saw that the little boy had not said anything, it thought that he was struck by his own words and had nothing to say.

It put on a fierce look. 

This little brat dared to lie to him! It must teach him a lesson!

However, without waiting for him to make a move, a strong light suddenly burst out from the little boy.

The big tiger instinctively took two steps back.

Its eyes, which were stung by the light, could not be closed for some reason. And the tail, which subconsciously wanted to tighten, could not be moved and could only remain in its original position. 

And its ears, sounds like a piece of exciting music echoing?

When the bright light disappeared, little Jun Lu had changed his appearance.

 

The loose and messy black hair was combed to the back, and the tattered robe was gone.

In its place, is a set of light pattern plaid shirt with a pair of black suspenders shorts. 

His bare little feet were covered with a pair of small light brown round-toed English leather shoes, with long white socks showing, reaching the top of the ankles.

The original dirty, little, poor thing had completely changed his appearance.

At this moment, the one in front of the big tiger was a delicate and beautiful aristocratic young master.

Coupled with his cold and gloomy expression and a pair of cold blood-red pupils, his whole body exuded an aura not to be trifled with, which could make people feel fear from the bottom of their heart. 

The tiger’s tail, which circled his waist, couldn’t help but loosen up a bit.

What the hell is this absurd situation?!
