Even though he believed in her ability more than anyone else. The worry in his heart and the fear of losing her were completely uncontrollable.
Yue Jiaojiao stopped Zhao Zhan’s attempt to move forward and took a light step forward by herself.
The tiger tilted its head as if it was sizing her up. Then, it turned around and walked towards the cave, turning back to look at her from time to time.
Yue Jiaojiao had Zhao Zhan followed closely behind.
She didn’t expect that after her rebirth, her affinity with animals would actually expand to this extent.
When the two of them reached the cave, the tiger came out with a newborn tiger cub in its mouth.

After doing all that, the tiger seemed to have exhausted all its strength. It growled weakly at Yue Jiaojiao and then used its nose to push the cub in her direction.
It was only then that Yue Jiaojiao realized that there was a long wound on its abdomen. However, she couldn’t see it clearly earlier due to the dim lighting in the forest. Now that it was bright, she realized that the entrance of the cave had long been dyed red with blood.
Was the tiger… asking her to take care of the cubs?
Yue Jiaojiao stopped Zhao Zhan and carefully walked up to him. Then, she gently hugged the cub in her arms and used her free hand to stroke the tiger’s head.
The tiger was very reluctant. It looked at its cub, whimpered, and closed its eyes.
Yue Jiaojiao’s nose twitched, and tears began to fall.
Although she was delicate, she wasn’t an emotional person, but at this moment, she couldn’t help it.
Zhao Zhan, who had been on high alert the entire time, immediately rushed forward and brought Yue Jiaojiao further away from the tiger. Then, he went over to check the tiger’s breathing.
“Jiaojiao, the wounds on its body were caused by an even fiercer prey. It might have been trying to protect the little beast, so its stomach was bitten into this state.”
Zhao Zhan sighed, then took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears on her face. “I’ll dig a hole and bury this tiger later. I won’t peel off his skin.”
Yue Jiaojiao glared at him.
Zhao Zhan didn’t dare to continue and quickly changed the topic. “Do you want to raise this little cub?”
He didn’t really want to do it. Tigers were not ordinary animals. They were fierce predators that were wild and difficult to tame. Every body part it had was sharp like a weapon that could hurt people.

Yue Jiaojiao’s eyes drooped slightly. After a moment, she said in a gentle voice, “Let’s keep it on the mountain. Don’t let it come into contact with humans. This cub is destined to belong in the mountains. I can’t selfishly keep it at home to help me look after the house just because I want it to.
“But we need to raise it somewhere else. I’m worried that Zhao Kuazi will come looking for us.”
“Then I’ll bring it out to hunt in the future. ” Zhao Zhan’s heart was finally at ease when he heard the words come out of her mouth. He reached out and patted the little tiger’s head. “Jiaojiao, give it a name.”
“Let’s call it Chengfeng. I hope it can live freely in the mountains in the future. It would be best if it could become the king of the mountains,” Yue Jiaojiao thought out loud happily. “When that time comes, Zhao Zhan, you won’t even need to hunt. Chengfeng will just throw the prey at your feet.”
Zhao Zhan went to the cave and found some handy tools. He buried the older tiger where they first fought, and then temporarily put the baby tiger in the treehouse.
When the two of them descended the mountain, Zhao Zhan’s body and face were covered in blood.
Yang Dashan shouted, “Zhao Zhan! What’s wrong, Zhao Zhan?”
At this moment, a group of people who were looking for Master Sun to apply for a job surrounded the thatched house. When they heard the voice, they looked over in unison and then retreated in unison with horror in their eyes.
