Although that was what she thought, she naturally wouldn't undermine him on the surface at such a point.

She bore with her bashful embarrassment and stood there coldly, haughtily, and calmly as though nothing had happened.

Su Ling and Jun Wen glanced at Di Baijun. When they saw that she wasn't objecting and had given her tacit approval, they thoroughly confirmed something very unfavorable for them. These two in front of them had really reconciled.

It was useless no matter how much they thought about it, though. They could only obediently reply, "Yes."

At the side, Wang Shan—who hadn't realized anything previously—also discovered something amiss by this point. Without further thought, he blurted out a question.

Roar~!

"Big Brother, didn't Sister-in-law dislike people addressing her as Queen?"

The moment the question left his mouth, he immediately felt razor-sharp gazes shooting toward him.

One was from his eldest brother while the other… was from his sister-in-law!

Somewhat fearful, he shrank back and lowered his head right away. Had he said something wrong?

Caution flashed across the eyes of Su Ling who was in the midst of being fearful and worried about her future, and she felt like putting more distance between herself and the brainless Third Master.

As for Jun Wen, he ignored Wang Shan entirely. On his mind was instead the possible impact that the Tiger King and the Tiger Queen's reconciliation would bring.

Wang Hu pretended that he didn't hear what Old Third said. Instead, he said calmly, "Old Third, you're in charge of supervising Big Treasure and Little Treasure's 10,000-meter-run in the surroundings after mealtime."

"Yes, Big Brother," replied a fearful Wang Shan right away when he heard Wang Hu's instructions. He heaved a sigh of relief.

It looked like he hadn't said anything wrong. Everything was fine now.

Upon hearing the mention of themselves, Big Treasure and Little Treasure—who were currently happily chomping away on their food—raised their heads. However, they were dejected the moment they heard Wang Hu's instructions.

They wouldn't be able to watch their television shows tonight anymore.

It was all Big Treasure's (Little Treasure's) fault.

The two little fellows glared at each other. In front of their mother, however, they didn't dare to do much else.

Wang Hu turned to Silly Girl and said casually, "My Queen, let's go back first."

Di Baijun mentally let out a light snort. How pretentious.

"Okay."

In spite of that, she could only give a simple response in return. She pretended as though nothing had happened and followed the jerk back into the cave, leaving behind the tigers and the fox to their own varied thoughts.

Di Baijun let out a soft snort the moment they entered the cave. Without saying a word, she strode over to the stone chaise lounge, took a seat, and closed her eyes slightly.

The moment Wang Hu saw what she was doing, he knew right away that her stuck-up nature was taking effect again. She was throwing a small tantrum—or rather, wanting him to cajole her—about the events just now.

He had seen other people who were in love in his past life. During the last few years, for the sake of conquering Silly Girl, he had also specially looked up related knowledge and information.

Out of that information, he remembered a certain point very well; women would develop a sense of insecurity right after they really got into a relationship with a man.

They would also subconsciously look for opportunities to throw little tantrums in a manner that hinted at the men to cajole them. The objective was to get the men to coax and cajole them in to demonstrate the importance of their presence and to enjoy the feeling of being pampered by someone so that they could drive away that sense of insecurity.

Given Silly Girl's personality, Wang Hu wasn't sure if she would feel insecure. Both were very possible likelihoods.

However, he dared to say he was sure of one thing: that harebrained Silly Girl wanted him to cajole her at the moment.

Judging from that little demeanor of hers, wasn't she just short of writing the few words 'quick, come over and coax me' on her face?

He walked forward with a big smile on his face and sat next to her. Di Baijun shifted to the side unnaturally.

Wang Hu immediately hugged her around her shoulders with both arms, preventing her from shifting away.

"What are you doing?" Unable to accept such intimacy so soon, Di Baijun struggled lightly a couple of times, turning away and facing somewhere else as she spoke in a seemingly displeased manner.

"Hehe, you won't be mad at me for saying that just now, right, Baijun?" A smiling Wang Hu asked in an honest and naive manner.

"Why would I be angry? Of course, I wouldn't be angry." Di Baijun lifted her chin slightly and replied without a second thought. She would never admit it, of course. Otherwise, wouldn't it make her look overly petty?

"That's great. If that's the case, then I can rest assured. You should know that it's just that I'm too happy and wish to affirm our relationship too much, Baijun." Wang Hu buried his face into Silly Girl's soft, tender, and fragrant shoulder and said intimately.

A small smile formed at the corners of Di Baijun's lips as she struggled for another couple of times, though she naturally didn't manage to break free. She said disdainfully, "What a silly look you have."

The moment she said that, Wang Hu knew right away that the cajoling was more or less finished.

Thus, he started to bring up a proper business. While maintaining the same position, he said, "Baijun, both of us have already reached the Third Realm. It's time to make some proper changes to our place of residence. Thus, I've spoken to Old Third and the others about renovating our place.

"You can leave the matter to me, but I'll need you to decide the style of the place."

A look of interest sprung up in Di Baijun's eyes the moment she heard what he said. She nodded lightly, her mind already starting to think about it. As she mused, she asked, "What kind of style would you like?"

"I'm fine with anything. I'm happy as long as I can be with you, Big Treasure, and Little Treasure," Wang Hu uttered sweet-nothings as though they were free of charge.

"Shoo." Di Baijun spat at him and knocked the jerk, who was always saying things that made her blush and made her heart race, with her shoulder. It was just that the smile on her face had also widened a notch.

She didn't ask any further. Instead, she thought carefully about how they should build their new home.

It had to be warm and comfortable, and neat and clean. They also needed a place where they could host large events for the tigers.

Wang Hu didn't say anything else either. He rested on Silly Girl's shoulder just like that, taking in her light fragrance and becoming somewhat lost in it. How he wished he could stay like this forever.

In the blink of an eye, after an unknown amount of time, the two little fellows charged rambunctiously into the cave.

Di Baijun snapped back to reality with a start right away. A look of panic came over her features, and she hastily pushed Wang Hu away with great force. Then, she neatened her clothes in a somewhat panicked fashion.

Wang Hu felt rather resigned. Wasn't it just a hug? To think she was still so easily embarrassed even in front of the two little fellows…

Roar~!

"Mommy! Daddy!"

The two little fellows had already run into the cave. They charged right over to their parents, evidently having forgotten all about Wang Hu's past instructions.

Wang Hu reached out and stopped the two little fellows in their paths before rubbing them on their heads.

He said with a little displeasure, "You've finished your run so quickly?"

Roar~!

"Yes, we've finished," replied Little Treasure as she nodded her round little head.

After caressing them again, golden light formed around his hand, and he cleaned off all the dust that the two little fellows had gotten on themselves after a day of fun.

Looks of pleasure appeared on both of their faces.

After he was done, Big Treasure looked curiously at his father and then at his mother before asking about something that puzzled him.

Roar~!

"Daddy, why are you here?"

Curiosity also came over Little Treasure the moment she heard his question. From what they remembered, they had never seen their father here at this time before.

Di Baijun's eyes flickered somewhat in embarrassment while Wang Hu's eyes narrowed slightly. That little rascal. All he knew was spoiling his father's plans.

As though nothing had happened, he said with a smile, "What's the matter about Daddy being here? Shall Daddy sleep together with you guys?"

Roar~!

"Yes!"

The two little fellows nodded at once.

The next moment, however, Little Treasure looked at her mother and asked an expectant question.

Roar~!

"Is Mommy sleeping with us, too?"

A quiet Wang Hu also looked at Silly Girl with a smile on his face.

Di Baijun blushed. When she noticed that the jerk seemed to actually also be looking at her expectantly, she secretly glared daggers at him right away.

Then, she replied gently, "Daddy will sleep with you guys instead. Mommy still has things to do."

Roar~!

"No, Big Treasure wants Mommy."

"Little Treasure also wants Mommy."

Upon hearing her reply, the two little fellows immediately abandoned their father.

Wang Hu's smile froze. He couldn't help but feel rather offended.

On the other hand, Di Baijun's lip corners curled upwards, and she secretly gave him a triumphant glance.

"Big Treasure, Little Treasure." Wang Hu's tone turned stern, and he said to the two little fellows, "The two of you have already grown up. You're no longer two-year-old little kids. Therefore, you must learn to sleep by yourselves. That's what good children should do."

Big Treasure and Little Treasure exchanged a look. Had they already grown up?

However, they were still reluctant to do so, and they clamored that they wanted to sleep with their mother.

A helpless and resigned look came over Wang Hu's eyes. Neither did Di Baijun reject the request again.

After that, the two little fellows played and horsed around their parents. It wasn't so bad for Di Baijun who managed to maintain her poise.

To Wang Hu, however, this was the very first time that the whole family was having fun together. Awfully happy and cheerful, he played with the two little fellows, even ignoring Silly Girl's warning looks every once in a while and dragging her into it.

It was just that the two little fellows wanted to eat the six remaining large pieces of meat when they saw them, and Silly Girl agreed to it as well.

Wang Hu stopped them, however. Some things were of higher priority than others. Those were meant for Silly Girl. He mustn't allow the two little fellows to eat them anymore.

It was only after quite a while of coaxing that he managed to convince them.

More than two hours later, the highly energetic children finally fell asleep.

Wang Hu heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but whisper to Silly Girl, "Do they also make this much fuss when they're alone with you?"

Di Baijun rolled her eyes a little and replied dryly, "How would they possibly make such a big fuss if you hadn't insisted on staying here?"

Wang Hu understood right away. Alright, it was just because those two little fellows thought that he was a pushover.

After watching the two of them quietly for a while more, both Wang Hu and Di Baijun walked out of the cave with great rapport.

They were just coaxing the children when they said that they would sleep with the two little fellows.

Both of them currently needed great amounts of spiritual energy to recover as quickly as possible. Due to the two little fellows' bloodlines, they were constantly and actively attracting and absorbing spiritual energy into their bodies.

It wasn't beneficial to either party if they were to cultivate too near to the two little fellows.

They didn't say much else to each other either. They each went respectively to a mountain peak. After exchanging a look with each other, both started to circulate their energy to recover.

A night passed quietly, and the next day dawned. It didn't seem like anything had changed from the usual state of things.

At around 8 a.m., Wang Hu summoned Wang Shan and Jun Wen and gave them detailed instructions on their mission—patrolling the territory by themselves. Then, he gave them a cell phone each and sent them out.

They were to give him a call whenever they encountered something that they really couldn't resolve by themselves.

Wang Hu immediately felt more relaxed after sending the two fellows out. At once, he wanted to run over to Silly Girl and cuddle up with her.

That was also exactly what he did. For one to two hours, the cave gave off a strong and intense aura of people in love. It was so cloyingly sweet that it made one's stomach turn.

In the end, as the aura became sweeter and sweeter, Di Baijun simply couldn't stand it anymore, and she threw the jerk out.

During the next few days, Wang Hu put his full efforts into recovering from his injuries while also waiting for Silly Girl to draft a design plan for their new home. Once she was done, he would be able to start building their new home right away.

Given his current combat power, he was capable of even moving mountains and filling in seas, let alone building a new home in these mountains.

Elsewhere…

After diligently patrolling the territory for a few days, Wang Shan—who was obediently carrying out the mission given to him by his eldest brother—stepped into an all-new territory on this day. The moment he did, his brows drew together, and he started to sniff the air carefully.

This scent…!

Somewhat unsure, he began to follow the scent and search throughout the mountains and wilderness.

A few hours later, a familiar—yet also foreign—figure entered his sight.

The other party also discovered his presence at almost the same time.

Two pairs of eyes met. Grave, careful, probing, and uncertain; they slowly approached each other.

When only a distance of dozens of meters stood between the two, both Wang Shan and the other party let out an astonished exclamation almost at the same time.

Roar~!

"Old Second!"

"Third Brother!"

Their exclamations allowed each other to fully confirm each other's identities—it was Old Second (Third Brother)!

Roar~!

"Why are you here, Old Second?"

Somewhat elated, Wang Shan immediately asked.

Dozens of meters away, Old Second—who stood at a shoulder height of 4.3 meters and had evidently broken through to the Transformation Realm for some time—was also a little happy.

Roar~!

"Third Brother, I've been here ever since my breakthrough. Why are you here?"

Roar~!

"I'm here to carry out the mission—patrolling this enormous territory—that Big Brother gave me," replied Wang Shan immediately without a second thought.

Old Second's eyelid twitched the moment he heard the words 'Big Brother', and a fearful and reverent—but also indignant—expression vaguely appeared on his face.

Before he could say anything, as though Wang Shan had just thought of something, his expression suddenly became stern, and he roared seriously.

Roar~!

"Just as well, Old Second. Since I've run into you, then let's battle. If I win, I'll be second, and you'll be third from now on."

Old Second's eyes flashed a little, and he stared at his third brother somewhat dumbly.

What was he thinking?

Surely, he wasn't holding a grudge against his brother for beating him up when they were young, right?

That didn't make any sense either. They were still young back then and didn't know any better. Was he still being calculative with his brother even at this point?

Besides, even if he had to hate someone, he should hate Big Brother the most, shouldn't he?

Big Brother was the one that beat them up the most mercilessly and the most frequently.

As he thought about it, he also glanced at Old Third's physique that was evidently stronger and more muscular than his. At once, he made a decision; he mustn't go through with this battle.

Roar~!

"What nonsense are you spouting, Third Brother? I was born earlier than you, so I am your Second Brother.

"It's just like how Big Brother was born earlier than us, so he's our eldest brother. Are you going to want to be Big Brother, then?"

He thought of a solution instantly. He knew very well the trauma that Third Brother had suffered because of Big Brother. Besides, from what he was saying, he was even still under Big Brother's commands at the moment.

There definitely wouldn't be any problem with using Big Brother's name to suppress him.

A look of panic came over Wang Shan's eyes right away. The reason why he wanted to be second was to pay back Old Second all the bullying that he had suffered under his brother's hands when they were young.

As for the bullying that he had suffered under Big Brother's hands, after all this time, he had already learned something known as tolerance. As long as he couldn't beat Big Brother, then he would have to continue to tolerate it.

Roar~!

"What nonsense. Big Brother is Big Brother, whereas you're you. I want to be second, not the boss."

Old Second smiled right away. As though he had seen through everything, he spoke unhurriedly with a smile.

Roar~!

"If you want to be second, then you'll definitely also want to be the boss. If Big Brother catches wind of it, hehe. It'll all be over for you, Third Brother."

His words alarmed Wang Shan at once. It seemed like… that was indeed the case. He thought back to what he had said when he first saw Big Brother after he had developed human intelligence.

It seemed like Big Brother's final facial expression hadn't looked quite right when he had mentioned that.

Suddenly, he realized something, and he frowned in puzzlement.

Roar~!

"You've already developed human intelligence, Old Second. Why didn't you come to look for Big Brother?"

As he spoke, something seemed to click in him, and he became somewhat excited.

"If Big Brother were to know that you didn't look for him after your breakthrough and that you don't possess even a bit of awareness that you have to contribute to the tigers and pledge loyalty to the Tiger King, he'll definitely be very displeased.

"Maybe Big Brother will give me the position of Old Second then."

Old Second's eyes flashed a little as he secretly cursed at Old Third for obviously intending to inform Big Brother about his brother's whereabouts and poking his nose into his brother's affairs.
