My Fierce Tigress Wife

Chapter 224: Avoiding It for more than Two Days

The elderly officials spoke one after another and expressed the same opinion.

All of their views also more or less had to do with a certain thing: the Unification into One Plan.

The Unification into One Plan that had once made an appearance back when they took over North Korea…

In the end, apart from Dong Pingtao, all the elderly officials expressed their views. Dong Pingtao said in conclusion, “In that case, let’s do this—we’ll reveal some information. As for how much exactly we’re going to reveal, let’s discuss this further.”

The elderly officials nodded. Soon, they reached a conclusion.

After they confirmed the plan, Li Aimin frowned and said seriously, “At present, three people from China have obtained the legacies. Little Zhu and Little Liu have made rapid improvements as a result.

“This will likely also be the case for Li Dao. In other words, China’s high-end combat power will see a huge improvement very soon.

“Corresponding changes will also come along one after another. I think it’s time that we discuss this.

“The consequences brought about when one’s individual combat power reaches a certain level.”

In a split second, his words—which were obviously alluding to something—made all the elderly officials’ expressions turn even graver.

All of them understood what Li Aimin meant. This was also something that they paid great attention to and were very wary of in their hearts.

It was just that they had also been consciously avoiding the topic all this time.

However, now…

All the elderly officials looked at Li Aimin and sighed silently in their hearts.

Perhaps it was time that they discussed this in detail.

When one’s individual combat power reached a level such as the Tiger King’s and to a point where they went beyond the country’s control.

The status, power, ambition, and so on that came along with it…

How many people would be able to resist them?

Combat power!

That was the true foundation of the dangerous world they were currently in.

Before they knew it, the atmosphere had become even heavier.

…

China took action very soon after the meeting.

The first thing they did was in relation to the alliances. Some information and technology were introduced to the seven alliances.

Apart from that, they also established some favorable terms for the seven alliances.

Within the short span of a few days, news about how humanity was a united front, how the alliances were coordinating their efforts with one another, how the China Alliance was providing the seven other alliances with sincere assistance, how humanity was riding through the storm together, and so on could be seen everywhere in the eight alliances.

The dissatisfaction that the people from the various alliances initially held toward the China Alliance significantly decreased, and all of them rejoiced.

Wang Hu took notice of these pieces of rather unusual news. To think China was actually providing so much assistance to the other seven alliances free of charge!

From the bottom of his heart, he felt that China was up to no good and that they were scheming something.

Of course, no matter what, this didn’t get in the way of him, Wang Hu, though.

In fact, he might even be able to watch an entertaining show.

Therefore, he merely continued to watch with some anticipation.

Time passed in a flash. In the blink of an eye, another half a month had gone by.

Hei Fan and the others, who were in Russia, had also returned.

After such a long period of searching and taking precautions, even if there were still Third Realm experts from the Deep Abyss hidden in Russia, there wouldn’t be many of them anymore.

Or rather, since they hadn’t found any even at this point in time, they weren’t going to find any anymore.

The Deep Abyss didn’t launch any large-scale invasion either.

Continuing to stay in Russia would only be a waste of time. On top of that, it also held Hei Fan and the others back from their cultivation.

Thus, Wang Hu had ordered them to return. As for the Chinese, Liu Jixiu and the others had also returned to China.

In the Tiger King’s Cave, Hei Fan and the others reported to Wang Hu and handed the remuneration from the mission to him.

Their mission was targeting the three Great Worlds this time, too. Thus, the corresponding remuneration would definitely be a lot.

Apart from what they had originally agreed upon—in other words, what they should receive based on the number of Third Realm beings; Russia had also given them a token of their appreciation by themselves because of the long delay, so it amounted to quite a lot.

Wang Hu wasn’t miserly with them either and distributed half of the rewards to them.

Although Hei Fan and the others hadn’t willingly joined the Tiger King’s Cave and didn’t hold any loyalty toward him…

They had at least been with the Tiger King’s Cave for quite some time. Blindly suppressing them by force and exploiting them without any limit weren’t anything good.

Instead, being clear-cut with meting out rewards and punishment was the best way to control them at the moment.

The incident with the Deep Abyss in Russia concluded for now.

Thereafter, Wang Hu entered a period of peace and quiet, as well as immersed himself in cultivation again.

On a certain day three months later, his cultivation prowess quietly crossed into another stage again.

His shoulder height reached 70 meters tall, and his cultivation prowess reached the Eighth Floor.

Although his combat power hadn’t actually increased by much compared to the day before, it had at least crossed over from the Seventh Floor to the Eighth Floor in name.

Thus, Wang Hu was still fairly happy about it.

In his joy, he naturally also engaged in some intimate times with Silly Girl.

The next day, he even especially gave Old Second and Old Third—who were stuck at peak-level Second Realm—some pointers.

After giving them a bit of pressure, he went to watch Silly Girl train the cowardly fox and Ling Shuang for a while. Then, for some reason, an urge came over him.

He wavered for only a moment. After glancing at Silly Girl again, he transformed into a streak of golden light and went toward the south.

He activated the Extreme Agility Movement of Dao to its limit and arrived at that mountain at high speed.

He scanned the surroundings with his divine senses that could cover a range of 7,000 meters. A few minutes later, he found his target.

With a flash, he appeared right in front of his target,

Before Miao Ming’er—who was in cat form—could even react, a familiar figure had already appeared in front of her.

“Your Majesty!”

She exclaimed softly in astonishment and puzzlement.

Why was His Majesty here?

Golden light covered Wang Hu’s face as usual. His hand subconsciously shifted a little as he said calmly, “Not bad. You haven’t let down my expectations. Your divine body is only a step short of reaching a pure and flawless state. You’ve already undergone eight rounds of metamorphosis and have a chance of forging a perfected divine body that has undergone nine rounds of metamorphosis.”

This was the difference between a normal person and someone with a powerful bloodline.

A normal person only has one chance at metamorphosis—in other words, during their breakthrough to the Third Realm.

The stakes were all on that one time. Whether it succeeded or not depended solely on that one time.

On the other hand, for people with powerful bloodlines, the entire duration that they spent in the Second Realm was filled with chances at metamorphosis.

They didn’t need to be anxious at all and could just take it slow.

He could naturally tell that the little cat’s divine body had already gone through eight rounds of metamorphosis. Additionally, her aura had yet to fully stabilize and showed signs that her bloodline still had room to grow. Evidently, she hadn’t reached her limit yet. There was a chance that she could complete all nine rounds of metamorphosis.

Miao Ming’er had already slightly calmed down from her astonishment. Upon hearing what he said, her eyes merely flickered slightly before she said mildly, “Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty.”

“I never compliment anyone. I only speak the truth.” Wang Hu sounded fairly cold and haughty, and his voice carried a sense of domineeringness.

Elation surfaced in Miao Ming’er’s eyes. After all, there wasn’t anyone that disliked hearing nice things—especially when it came from someone they cared about quite a fair bit.

“May I know why Your Majesty is looking for me?”

Wang Hu turned to the side and replied dispassionately, “Nothing much. I’m just here to see how far you’ve progressed.”

Miao Ming’er’s serene and elegant eyes blinked. Instinctively, she felt like perhaps something had happened.

Otherwise, why would the great His Majesty, the Tiger King, purposefully come over to check on the combat power progress of a little cat like her?

“Has the situation in the world become even more perilous, Your Majesty?”

Miao Ming’er thought about it and asked. A few hints of graveness appeared on her countenance.

After thinking about it, this was the best reason.

One that lived in times like these would definitely make contact with China, of course. She had read a fair amount of news and was also aware of the various situations in the world.

The situation in the world was probably the only thing that could draw the great Tiger King’s attention.

It was only because the situation was becoming increasingly dangerous that the Tiger King would pay so much attention to a little cat’s cultivation progress, in hopes that another Third Realm expert would emerge on Earth.

The more she thought about it, the more convinced Miao Ming’er became.

Apart from that, she didn’t feel that there was anything about her that would make the great and invincible Tiger King purposefully seek her out.

Of course, that special ability of hers didn’t count. The Tiger King didn’t know about it after all.

Wang Hu stared at her blankly for a moment. He thought: What is this little cat talking about?

What does my visit have anything to do with the situation in the world?

However, he immediately thought of something else, and a faint solemn and grave aura rose around him. He said aloofly, “A little cat like you is surprisingly quick-witted.”

Miao Ming’er didn’t feel any joy when she heard his compliment, though, because her guess had been on the mark.

Before she could even think of how to respond, the aloof and bossy voice rang out again. This time, with an additional heaviness to his words.

“The alternate worlds are in power now, and Earth is giving in again and again.

“The eight human alliances are also becoming stronger and stronger. They are far beyond what every other species, aside from the humans, can compare with.

“I naturally have to support someone with a promising future when I see one.

“Besides, the cats and the tigers share much of the same roots. You’re a very fine genius.

“You’re worth my attention. Don’t disappoint me.”

As he spoke, a somewhat anticipative gaze shot out from beyond the golden light and came within Miao Ming’er’s sight.

Miao Ming’er’s expression turned completely serious. She nodded and said solemnly, “Miao Ming’er definitely won’t let Your Majesty down.”

Wang Hu seemed to give her a gratified nod. Then, something occurred to him, and he asked dispassionately, “Miao Ming’er?”

Embarrassed, Miao Ming’er avoided his eyes and replied softly and gently, “That is this little cat’s name. I’m sorry to have shown Your Majesty something so laughable.”

A faint hint of disappointment flashed across Wang Hu’s mind. To think she actually already had a name…

This meant that he had wasted quite a bit of time thinking of one.

Never mind. That name was pretty good anyway.

“Miao Ming’er. This name is pretty decent.”

“Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty.” Miao Ming’er breathed a small sigh of relief. Everything was fine as long as he didn’t dislike it.

Wang Hu’s hands subtly shifted a little again. It seemed like he didn’t come up with any sort of solution even after thinking for a brief moment. He awkwardly let out a soft snort. Then, his large hand reached out and grabbed at her.

Meanwhile, in a dispassionate yet incredibly forceful voice, he said, “Never mind. Seeing that fate has brought us together, I’ll help you again.”

Before Miao Ming’er could even react, she felt as if the world had spun around her. Then, she entered that familiar embrace again.

Her large eyes stared blankly for a moment before shy anger filled them.
