Catch the Wind and Save Me

The term "to act as a tiger's accomplice" refers to when a person who was eaten by a tiger has their soul controlled by the tiger, transforming into an evil ghost that lures other people to be eaten by the tiger. Controlling souls is an innate ability of the Tiger clan.

Meanwhile, clouds follow dragons and winds follow tigers. Winds originally submit to tigers. Wherever there is a tiger, evil winds are sure to come first. Manipulating winds and clouds is also an innate ability of the Tiger clan.

Elder Ning stared at Chasing the Wind, a silly cute little white tiger, and said solemnly, "He was undoubtedly doomed to die, but at the tribulation, this Profound Underworld Spirit Tiger inexplicably appeared..."

"The Great Dao has 50, the heavens cover 49, leaving one to escape. There is always a thread of hope to live..." It turns out his thread of hope to live lies here."

"Did that Profound Underworld Spirit Tiger save him?" asked the peerless beauty.

"That tiger is so small. How could it save him under the lightning tribulation?" the handsome man also raised his doubt.

Elder Ning did not answer. He pondered for a moment before saying, "Perhaps we could give him an Immortal Spirit Scroll."

"But we still don't know his origins..."

Another wind rose...

This was the fifth wind, already of strong wind intensity! It could make people's clothes hunt and flap. Its temperature had already turned cold! Blowing on people's faces, it made them feel icy pain on their cheeks.

When this gust of wind blew, Qin Ran clearly felt his body become light, and his soul was about to be blown out of his body in an instant. He hurriedly ran towards Chasing the Wind and shouted, "Chasing the Wind, save me!"

Although he didn't know what Chasing the Wind did earlier, it was obvious that Chasing the Wind had helped return his soul to his body. Now he had no other choice but to place his hopes on Chasing the Wind, pleading for his help.

Chasing the Wind didn't understand what Qin Ran meant. He still didn't know that he could control life and death and winds. He only saw Qin Ran running towards him in the wind, but halfway through, Qin Ran froze in midair, and then a transparent version of Qin Ran appeared behind him.

"Huh?" He tilted his head, puzzled.

These complicated matters, were they something a little kitty like him should be thinking about?

But seeing the pained expression of that transparent daddy in the wind, he didn't want daddy to suffer. So he fiercely roared at the incoming gust...

"Roar..."

The wind was frightened away by his roar.

"Dad...dy... cool..." He wanted to show off to daddy that he had frightened the wind away, but when he looked up, he saw that the transparent daddy was still floating in midair. He tilted his head left and right, before seeming to come up with an idea. He leapt up and headbutted the back of Qin Ran's soul, knocking Qin Ran's soul back into his physical body.

"Daddy?" he said.

Qin Ran regained control of his body. He quickly landed on the ground, picked up Chasing the Wind, and said, "Good job Chasing the Wind! That wind was a bad person. You helped daddy drive it away!"

He now knew that Chasing the Wind could roar away the winds and knock his soul back into his physical body. Chasing the Wind was his lifesaver.

"Bad peopwe?" Chasing the Wind was confused. What were bad people?

"Very, very bad people!" After thinking for a bit, Qin Ran explained in terms Chasing the Wind could understand, "They want to bite daddy and stop daddy from eating tasty snacks!"

Chasing the Wind's eyes instantly widened. How could there be such bad people! He got agitated, roaring "awoo" sounds, assuring daddy that he would definitely take down the bad guys.

When the wind rose again before it blew towards Qin Ran, he roared forward, directly dispersing this sixth gale!

"Good job Chasing the Wind!" Qin Ran continued to butter up the child, hoping to get this kid to save his old hide.

"Awooo..." Chasing the Wind opened his mouth laughing, extremely smug. He happily rubbed his furry head and neck against Qin Ran. Qin Ran reached out to scratch and tickle his itchy neck and head.

The seventh wind had already reached storm level! It could fly sand and rock everywhere. Its state was pitch black, its manner terrifying.

"Chas...Chasing Wind, can you handle it?" Qin Ran was a little scared.

Chasing the Wind struggled in Qin Ran's arms, signaling to be let down. Qin Ran placed Chasing the Wind down onto the ground.

The little white tiger was mighty and prestigious. Stepping forward to face the incoming gale, he let out a long roar:

"Roarrr..."

The storm slowly abated, slowly retreating, slowly dispersing.

"Good Chasing Wind!" Qin Ran praised again.

Chasing the Wind excitedly ran circles around Qin Ran: daddy had never praised him like this before. He was so awesome today!

The eighth wind was a violent wind! It was vast and boundless, and wherever it passed, frost and cold covered the land!

"Chasing Wind?"

Facing the wind, Chasing the Wind ran forward, leaving Qin Ran with a view of his back... Daddy, just watch my performance!

With the violent wind, Chasing the Wind was lifted up, seemingly without any ability to resist as he floated up into the air.

"Chasing Wind!!" Qin Ran was shocked. He anxiously charged forward, wanting to dive into the wind to save Chasing the Wind.

But as he dived in, he discovered the wind had dodged away from him. He was dumbfounded as he looked up. In the black winds, Chasing the Wind stood tall riding the wind. His entire coat of fur was fluttering. He looked down condescendingly at Qin Ran, already possessing the majesty of a tiger...

It would have been even more impressive if he wasn't smiling with his tongue sticking out.

"Phew..." Qin Ran lightly sighed in relief. He gave Chasing the Wind a thumbs up, then sat down on the ground, unwilling to stand up anymore.

Old men's bodies were frail. He couldn't handle the shock.

Controlling the winds, Chasing the Wind floated back down in front of Qin Ran. Opening his eyes wide, he looked at Qin Ran expectantly, waiting for praise.

Qin Ran felt somewhat numb from the successive heavenly tribulations. He reached out and perfunctorily scratched Chasing the Wind's body, tiredly saying, "Good job, Chasing the Wind is awesome!"

"Awooo..." Chasing the Wind happily cried out, enjoying it.

The ninth wind was a wind spiral! It connected heaven to earth. When it first appeared, it started narrow, but in the blink of an eye, it was about to cover the entire wind and cloud domain!

Having become self-aware, when this wind rose, Chasing the Wind shielded Qin Ran behind him. Facing the wind spiral, he angrily roared, wanting to roar the winds away.

But...

These winds did not obey his commands.

The anxious Chasing the Wind thought, This damn wind actually made me lose face in front of daddy! He leapt forward thinking, I'll show you! Then opening his mouth wide, he sucked in the entire wind spiral...

Slowly shrinking, the wind spiral finally disappeared into his mouth.

"Is...is that it?" Qin Ran was truly dumbfounded because Chasing the Wind went all out, actually directly eating up that enormous wind spiral!

He was a little slow to react.

The surrounding wind and cloud domain slowly dissipated, revealing the cloudy outside world in Qin Ran's eyes once more.

He looked up at the gloomy dark clouds that had accumulated due to the heavenly tribulation. He felt both the joy of gaining new life and the fear of facing the coming thunder and lightning.

"Chasing Wind..." he murmured. "We survived."

After a while, Chasing the Wind didn't respond. Looking back, he only saw Chasing the Wind squatting on the ground looking listless. Seeing Qin Ran look over, he whimpered, "Dad...dy... tummy... hurts..."

Qin Ran didn't know what to say for a time. The silly kid ate such an enormous wind spiral in one go. Of course his tummy would hurt!

But now wasn't the time to scold the child for eating randomly. He hurriedly went over and picked Chasing the Wind up, massaging his belly with his hands.

"It doesn't hurt, awoo. Chasing Wind isn't hurting..." Curled up in Qin Ran's arms, Chasing the Wind slowly fell asleep.

"Sigh..." Qin Ran sighed and picked up sleeping Chasing the Wind as he stood up, surveying his surroundings.

The wind and cloud domain was circular with about a 30 foot radius. Within it, having undergone three levels of Thunder Tribulation, Fire Tribulation, and Wind Tribulation, it was already about 3 meters lower compared to the surroundings. Furthermore, it was smooth and flat inside as if it were a mirror, completely different from the river bank from before the tribulation.

At this time, river water once again came flooding in from the connected river...

Qin Ran went to pick up the two Thunder Tribulation pills before powerfully leaping up, jumping out of the circular pit to arrive at the river bank. He looked all around, verifying his bearings.

He had originally set up several spell formations nearby, but they had all been destroyed by the heavenly tribulation. Many backup plans were also destroyed under the heavenly tribulation.

Luckily he had the foresight to leave himself a final backup plan...

At least, farther away in a clump of grass, he had left a temporary dimension pouch containing clothes. He had long ago made plans to temper his body with Thunder Tribulation fire, so of course he needed to prepare for his clothes being destroyed!

However, he had just walked several steps and was still quite far from that clump of grass when a charming voice shouted from afar, "Baldy, stop! Leave behind my treasures!"

Looking towards the voice, he only saw an unparalleled peerless beauty flying over in this direction.
