Wen Rou was delighted to see how calmly Wang Yue faced the woman. She muttered, "Big Brother Wang is so much better than Little Stone. The moment he saw that woman, Little Stone's legs practically gave out!"
Wang Yue disagreed with her and offered an excuse for Wang Xiao Shi. "He's only just entered the martial world. His master, the Scholar of Heavenly Garments, must have forgotten to tell him two things."
Wen Rou was already annoyed with Little Stone, so she asked, puzzled, "What did the Scholar of Heavenly Garments forget to tell him?"
As he walked ahead, Wang Yue replied with a smile, "Women down the mountain are tigers!"
Wen Rou immediately took offense. "What do you mean? Am I a tiger too?"
Wang Yue knew she was angry, so he smiled and placated her. "There are all kinds of tigers. Other women are tigresses, but you're different."
Wen Rou knew he was deliberately trying to soothe her, but she still wanted to know how she was different. She demanded, still huffy, "Then tell me how. If I'm not satisfied with your answer, you'll be hearing from me!"
Wang Yue shook his head with a smile. The girl really did have the temperament of a child. He pretended to be serious. "Of course you're different. You're a tiger named Wen Rou—a very gentle tiger!"
