Little Yu curiously gazed at the giant tiger in front of her.
Su Luo hadn't expected the Fiercely Divine Tiger to arrive here, and even paused mid-sip of her soup.
Nangong Xiyun stared intently at the Fiercely Divine Tiger, ready to strike at the first sign of trouble.
The Fiercely Divine Tiger, as if on instinct, activated its innate ability.
Its race possessed a natural talent known as the White Tiger's Eye.
This ability allowed it to see through illusions and disguises, making it difficult to hide from its gaze.
However, it wasn't all-powerful—it merely amplified the beast's extraordinary instincts into a visual form. With a single glance, it could assess who posed the greatest threat.
The higher the cultivation level, the more it could perceive.
As a Sacred Beast, the Fiercely Divine Tiger's abilities were naturally formidable.
Its gaze swept across the scene, and then... a blinding light erupted!
The intense radiance engulfed the Fiercely Divine Tiger’s vision, rendering it momentarily blind.
This was a sight it had never encountered before.
Quickly averting its gaze and closing the White Tiger's Eye, the tiger found itself facing Su Luo and the others.
Ordinary humans. Wait—no, the White Tiger's Eye wouldn't be mistaken. Among them, there was a formidable expert.
Seeing that Su Luo and the others showed neither fear nor movement upon its arrival, the Fiercely Divine Tiger decided to remain still, silently observing. One by one, it activated the White Tiger's Eye to gauge who posed the greatest threat.
First, the human girl: Little Yu. At her age, she likely posed no danger.
Bright light.
Indeed, her aura was impressive, but not overwhelming.
Next.
A mere spirit beast.
A GIGANTIC burst of light!
What in the world? This radiance far surpassed anything it had encountered before. Could this little creature possess such a heaven-defying bloodline?
If it could recruit this beast into its clan, it might elevate the entire lineage to new heights.
No, now wasn't the time for such thoughts.
The Fiercely Divine Tiger realized this wasn't the greatest threat. On to the next.
A seemingly ordinary woman.
AHHHHH!
What in the... so blinding!
It's her.
The tiger hastily shut its White Tiger's Eye, feeling as though it might go blind.
To think the most dangerous presence here was this unassuming woman. Humans are indeed cunning, hiding their true strength.
Thankfully, the White Tiger's Eye revealed the truth, preventing a catastrophic oversight.
While wary of Nangong Xiyun, the Fiercely Divine Tiger caught a glimpse of Su Luo.
There's still one left to assess. Someone who associates with such a woman likely isn’t ordinary.
Out of caution, it activated the White Tiger's Eye once more to examine Su Luo.
AHHHHHH! I’M BLIND!
Forced to retract its ability, this was the first time in the Fiercely Divine Tiger’s existence that such a thing had occurred.
Instinctively retreating, it focused all its attention on Su Luo.
In that moment, the tiger hesitated, even felt fear.
Was it a mistake to come here?
But the scent of its offspring lingered...
Wait, that pot of soup...
No... it couldn't be. Could it?
"You... did you... see my son?" The Fiercely Divine Tiger stammered, trembling with dread—fearful that its child might already be cooked.
Even more terrified of being unable to avenge its son.
It considered fleeing, abandoning its child to save itself.
But thoughts of its offspring compelled it to stay.
"If you’re looking for your son, he’s over there," Su Luo pointed.
The Fiercely Divine Tiger nodded and proceeded in the direction indicated, though not fully trusting the guidance. It decided to check first, to avoid unjustly accusing anyone.
But if Su Luo lied... well, a Sacred Beast wasn’t to be trifled with.
Su Luo had merely pointed out the location because he was asked, and in a good mood. Simple as that.
Following Su Luo’s direction, the Fiercely Divine Tiger quickly found its son.
By then, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley arrived, only to find the situation already resolved.
With the Fiercely Divine Tiger reunited with its offspring, hostilities were avoided, and the crisis for Medicine King Valley came to an end.
Ultimately, after negotiations with the Fiercely Divine Tiger, Lin Xuan acquired its offspring, naming it Little Divine Tiger, gaining a powerful ally.
There was a minor incident where the Fiercely Divine Tiger initially refused, wishing its offspring to join Su Luo instead—believing that path to be more promising.
However, Little Divine Tiger’s first encounter had been with Lin Xuan, and they had fought side by side, forming a deep bond. It refused to leave Lin Xuan.
Seeing no other option, the Fiercely Divine Tiger relented. Yet it began to consider whether it might follow Su Luo itself.
The idea seemed viable... until it remembered its status as both the Fiercely Divine Tiger clan leader and a Sacred Beast. Accompanying someone else would tarnish its reputation, becoming a laughingstock among spirit beasts.
Ah, being of high status has its burdens. One can’t simply lower their pride to cling to a "big tree."
...
With the Sacred Beasts retreating, peace returned to Medicine King Valley.
After a few days of rest, the members of Seven Stars Sword Sect prepared to depart.
Before leaving, Little Yu naturally bid farewell to Su Luo.
"It’s time to say goodbye again," Su Luo gently patted Little Yu’s head: "Take care of yourself."
"I will, and you too."
...
After a moment of silence, though this parting felt different from before, there was little sorrow.
Little Yu was content. These days spent with Su Luo had been truly joyful, and she wished for more.
However, Su Luo had his own path to follow, and she wouldn’t hold him back.
Yet, the thought of separation still brought sadness, a lingering sense of longing.
"Su Luo, can you close your eyes?"
Su Luo obliged, closing his eyes.
Little Yu kissed Su Luo’s forehead.
"Goodbye, Su Luo. I’ll come find you next time."
Before Su Luo could react, Little Yu shyly departed.
Su Luo hadn’t anticipated such an affectionate farewell.
Watching Little Yu’s retreating form, a slight smile tugged at his lips.
A cold gaze fell upon Su Luo: "You seem quite pleased."
Su Luo immediately suppressed his smile: "Not at all, I’m not gloating."
"Hmph."
"Is there something you need, Peak Lord Nangong?"
Su Luo hadn’t expected Nangong Xiyun to appear here, it didn’t make sense.
"Can’t I say goodbye to you?"
"Of course, you may. How could I refuse? Your gaze could kill."
Su Luo guessed she might be concerned that he was about to "take" Little Yu away.
Then came silence. Nangong Xiyun said nothing, just watched Su Luo.
Su Luo stood his ground, letting her make the first move.
"Goodbye."
Nangong Xiyun uttered and vanished, as enigmatic as ever.
"Forget it." Su Luo muttered quietly; encounters with Nangong Xiyun rarely brought anything good.
Who knew she reappeared, enunciating clearly: "GOOD—BYE!"
"Yes, goodbye, goodbye."
Nangong Xiyun nodded, then disappeared again.
This time, Su Luo refrained from speaking carelessly and left.
"Yun."
"Here." Nangong Xiyun had to quickly shift identities—one moment she was Nangong Xiyun, the next, she was Yun.
Only by being quick could she avoid suspicion from Su Luo, whose keen observations made hiding any slip-up perilous.
"Let’s go."
"Alright."
