The Mutated Little Tiger-head Beast—Please Vote

Although Nie Liu had seen the effects of taking a Thousand Desire Flower before, that had been on a person. It was normal for a human to be unable to withstand the medicinal power, but drugging a Tiger-head Beast seven or eight meters long... he really had no confidence!

But even without confidence, he had to do it. If he missed this chance, who knew how long they would be trapped in the pool!

"I'm doing it!"

Taking a deep breath, Nie Yun drew half a circle with one hand. A bubble of true energy containing pool water immediately appeared before him. The bubble was only the size of a ping-pong ball. With a flick of his finger, he tossed the Thousand Desire Flower he had gotten from Nie Liu into it.

Whoosh!

The Thousand Desire Flower dissolved the instant it entered the water, filling the entire bubble in the blink of an eye. Yet the thing was colorless and odorless, and there was nothing unusual to be seen from the outside.

"Splash, splash!"

The moment he finished, the Tiger-head Beast's thick tongue swept over, lapping up water without pause.

"Now!"

Holding his breath, Nie Yun flicked the bubble with his finger. It rolled several times through the water, then was swept up precisely by that thick tongue and entered the Tiger-head Beast's mouth with a whoosh.

"Success!"

Nie Yun's eyes lit up. He had not expected to send the true-energy bubble into the Tiger-head Beast's mouth so easily.

Without his support, the bubble would not last long. As long as it reached the beast's mouth, it should burst immediately, allowing the medicine's power to enter its body!

Heh heh, he had never expected his first time administering an aphrodisiac to go so smoothly!

Amid his delight, Nie Yun also felt speechless. Other people used aphrodisiacs on women, while he was using one on a beast. Cough, cough... he could not say it. Saying it aloud would be far too wicked...

Remaining beneath the water, Nie Yun waited about the time it took to drink a cup of tea before pressing against the surface and looking up. The sight immediately filled him with joy.

The Thousand Desire Flower truly lived up to its name—it was indeed formidable! Even a Tiger-head Beast of such enormous size could not escape its effects. The medicine had taken hold. The male Tiger-head Beast's eyes were crimson as it viciously pounced on the female, instantly beginning the most primal mechanical motion in the world of living beings.

Heave-ho! Heave-ho!

With every movement, waves of air rolled outward. The two Tiger-head Beasts were like two massive tanks, their colliding muscles producing deafening booms.

Truly magnificent... the male Tiger-head Beast really is impressive!

With a sigh in his heart, Nie Yun straightened and sprang from the pool. His foot struck the ground, and he turned into a streak of light, racing toward the Life-Reviving Flower.

Once afflicted by the Thousand Desire Flower, one would fall into a state of chaos, unable to tell what was happening. All they knew was how to vent themselves. The male Tiger-head Beast's eyes were red, and its reactions had become sluggish. This was the perfect chance for him to escape!

Sigh, an old monster who had lived for several centuries had actually been forced by two Tiger-head Beasts to hide underwater for half a day, then compelled to drug them and let them enjoy themselves... If those old monsters from his past life heard about this, they would probably laugh themselves to death!

How humiliating, how humiliating!

Covering his face as he fled wildly, Nie Yun felt utterly depressed.

"Roar!"

The male Tiger-head Beast had taken the Thousand Desire Flower, but the female had not. Seeing someone suddenly leap out of the pool startled her. She roared loudly, seemingly wanting to seize this person who had dared trespass into her territory. But the moment she moved, the powerful male Tiger-head Beast behind her wrapped its two thick forelegs around her, leaving her utterly unable to move.

"Roar?"

The female Tiger-head Beast had not expected that, at such a critical moment, this fellow would still be thinking about that. She screeched in fury but could do nothing except watch the figure grow farther and farther away until he vanished.

Of course, that thought did not last long. Her huge eyes soon turned hazy as she began enjoying the exhilarating sensations the male Tiger-head Beast gave her.

"So this is the Tiger-head Beasts' cave. According to my memories, the Life-Reviving Flower should be up ahead..."

Unaware of the female Tiger-head Beast's thoughts, Nie Yun hurried onward. Before long, he arrived at their cave and searched inside according to the memories of his past life.

By now, daylight had long since arrived. Scorching sunlight slanted into the cave, making everything inside clearly visible.

"Mm, it's here. Heh heh!"

After taking several steps forward and turning a corner within the cave, he indeed saw a delicate flower standing at the bend.

This Life-Reviving Flower had not reached the thousand-year level, but it was still five or six hundred years old. Its entire body was emerald green, wafting an invigorating floral fragrance.

"I'll take it!"

Though he was not as skilled at gathering herbs as his mother, he was still an old monster who had lived for centuries, a master-level alchemist. He knew how to pick herbs while preserving their medicinal properties at their peak. With a faint smile, Nie Yun reached for the Life-Reviving Flower on the ground.

"Roar!"

Just as Nie Yun's hand reached the Life-Reviving Flower, another piercing roar sounded beside his ear. A foul wind brushed tightly past it!

"Mm?"

Nie Yun had not expected there to be another Tiger-head Beast here after he had gone to such lengths to deal with the first two, and he could not help being startled.

But he had lived two lives and possessed abundant combat experience. With a slip of his feet, he retreated seven or eight meters. Focusing his gaze ahead, he finally understood.

The Tiger-head Beast before him was smaller than the previous two and seemed not yet fully grown. Yet what made Nie Yun depressed was that despite its young age, it was not weak at all. It actually possessed the strength of the initial stage of the sixth level of the Qi Sea Realm, the Forming Astral Realm!

Could it be the child of those two Tiger-head Beasts?

For a child to already possess such strength, could it have mutated because its parents drank spring water containing an Imperial Flame Spirit Stone, causing the little Tiger-head Beast to undergo a mutation?

Normally, few little Tiger-head Beasts even possessed the strength of the third level of the Qi Sea Realm, the Qi Cultivation Realm. Yet this one was at the sixth level of the Qi Sea Realm. Once it reached adulthood, how terrifying would that be? It would likely reach at least the strength of a Qi Grandmaster!

I wasn't this unlucky even when I came here in my past life. First I saw the male, then came the female. I finally got those two to settle down, and now a little one has appeared... damn it, if I'd known they were one big family, I wouldn't have acted so rashly...

While shocked, Nie Yun cursed inwardly and instantly raised his Essence, Qi, and Spirit to their peak.

Demon Beasts possessed physical qualities far surpassing those of ordinary humans. At the same level, humans were simply no match for them. Thus, though this Tiger-head Beast was young, even a peak Forming Astral Realm expert would have no hope of defeating its true combat strength!

"Roar!"

Seeing that the person before it had actually dodged its attack, the little Tiger-head Beast screeched furiously. With another wild roar, it pounced again.

"Get down here!"

He could not deal with the large ones, but Nie Yun was not afraid of dealing with a small one. Seeing it pounce, he did not dodge to either side. Just as it approached, he suddenly crouched and threw his right fist violently upward!

The little Tiger-head Beast clearly had not expected the person before it to evade. It pounced into empty air and passed over Nie Yun's head, while the latter's fist smashed squarely into its abdomen!

Bang!

Whether Tiger-head Beasts or other four-legged Demon Beasts, their abdomens were their softest and weakest points. Nie Yun had put all his strength into that punch. With a single blow, the Tiger-head Beast's mouth twitched, and it fell from the air.

"Now's my chance!"

Having landed his strike, Nie Yun did not bother looking to see how the Tiger-head Beast was doing. His foot stomped the ground, and he shot through the air to the Life-Reviving Flower. Pinching with his thumb and forefinger, he plucked the entire flower, roots and leaves included, placed it into a jade box, and tossed it into his Storage Dantian.

"Go!"

With the item in hand, Nie Yun did not pause in the slightest. His body stiffened in midair before he shot toward the cave entrance!

From crouching and throwing his punch to collecting the Life-Reviving Flower and turning to leave, the entire sequence flowed like drifting clouds and running water, without the slightest obstruction. By the time the little Tiger-head Beast reacted, Nie Yun had already rushed out of the cave.

Although Nie Yun could defeat this little Tiger-head Beast if he truly wanted to, who could guarantee that the male Tiger-head Beast was not a quick shot?

If it were a quick shot and finished in three strokes and two swipes, then he would be trapped in the cave by one male, one female, and one little beast. That would truly leave him wanting to cry without tears!

Safety came first in all things. Of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing was the best!

As for the humiliation he had suffered today, once he became strong enough, he could simply train this family of three into his own Demon Pets!

As for beast taming, this world had specialized Beast Tamers. These people possessed special Beast Taming Dantians, which could produce a power that tamed Demon Beasts. Some powerful Beast Tamers could tame more than a dozen Demon Beasts, then gang up on others with them in battle. They had always been people Nie Yun envied!

However, becoming a Beast Tamer also depended on talent. Without a Beast Taming Dantian, no amount of effort would help!

In his past life, he had possessed three Dantians in total: one for pill fire, one for storage, and one for main cultivation. He had not possessed such talent, so he could only sigh and let it go. But what about this life? Because of the Nameless Art, he already possessed seven Dantians! Could one of the four Dantians he had just opened be a Beast Taming Dantian?

A thought suddenly stirred in Nie Yun's heart. PS: At 450 recommendation votes, we'll have three updates. Don't forget—we must forge ahead bravely and never retreat!
