"Vales? So this forest is called Vales?" For the first time, Shen finally got to know this place's name.

"You really don't know?" The Blizzard Tiger asked again for the second time. There was something weird with the human in front of her.

​​

Shen shook his head, "I don't know until you told me just now,"

"Then where do you come from?" The Blizzard Tiger questioned Shen. She still did not believe Shen. Things become even more suspicious for the mother tiger.

"I…" Shen looked at the minimap, trying to locate his village, "I come from the village in the south,"

"Village in the south…" There was a pause for a moment before the Mother Tiger continued, "Do you mean the Legendary Village?"

"The Legendary Village? Is that what you guys call the village?" Shen muttered in a low voice, "Yes, I come from the Legendary Village, and I am Yosu's disciple. Do you know him, My Master, Yosu?"

He thought the mother tiger knew more about the village and the people living in the village. He mentioned his Master's name.

"I don't know him but I do know about that village. That village is quite famous in the Vales and no one dares to come there because the beasts that came near the village will be hunted down though we don't hear much about the Legendary Village lately," The Blizzard Tiger lowered her gaze to Shen, "So you are part of that village?"

"I guess I am," Shen nodded his head. He was not sure what the Legendary Village was known for but since he lived in the village and became Yosu's successor, he was now part of the village.

"But that still does not explain why you don't know about Vales," The Blizzard Tiger did not put down his suspicions.

"I know this sounds ridiculous but I don't know about the village being a Legendary Village and this forest called Vales. I know nothing about it as this is what happened to me…" Shen explained to Blizzard Tiger that he fell into a gorge and ended up in the village when he woke up.

"So are you saying that you fell into a very deep gorge, and your master saved you and brought you to the village?" the mother tiger squinted her eyes, "Eternal Wind City? Is that where you come from?"

"Yes," Shen nodded his head.

"I never heard of this city before…" The Blizzard Tiger muttered in a low voice.

"Let's continue the talk later. We better do something about your wound. How about this, I will help you to heal your wound. You just need to tell me what I need to do. In exchange, can you explain more about Vales?" Shen offered something else to the Mother Tiger, an offer that benefited both sides.

"That's it? You just want that?" The mother tiger did not accept the offer immediately.

"Yeah, that's it. There's nothing more important than a friendship with a strong beast like you," Shen smiled sincerely as he replied the Mother Tiger, "As you know, the forest is very dangerous for me, having a friend like you will help me survive in this dangerous place,"

"I see…" The Blizzard Tiger still had some suspicions but she had accepted Tang Shaoyang's words, "I will accept your goodwill and even your friendship if you have no ill intentions toward me and my children,"

"Then what do I need to do now? Do you need anything? Do you need herbs to stop the bleeding? The wound does not show it will stop bleeding anytime soon," Shen expressed his concern.

"That's fine, I can still survive for a week with my condition. First of all, I need food. The three fish my children brought to me is not enough as I have not eaten for three days. Can you bring me more food, Friend?" The Blizzard Tiger voiced her request, "I need to regain some energy,"

Shen furrowed his brows and looked at his inventory. The King of Guardian Fish might be enough for the mother tiger but he was thinking about ZhenZhen. The cook might want this exotic ingredient for her to experiment, 'I will just defeat another King of Guardian Fish later. It's quite easy to kill as I only need to kite it away from the river,'

With those thoughts in mind, Shen took out the King of Guardian Fish's body. While it was smaller than the Blizzard Tiger, it should be enough for her, "This should be enough for you, right?"

"What is this? Where do the fish come from?" The Blizzard Tiger asked curiously at the sight of the massive fish. It just came out of nowhere.

"We humans have the thing called inventory, and we can store items there. It's something like a separate space so it does not burden us with the weight," Shen explained to the Blizzard Tiger.

"How convenient to be a human. I kinda envy that inventory thing," The Mother Tiger muttered in a low voice, and she sounded envious. She then looked at the fish then looked at Shen, "You are quite something, huh? I don't think you can hunt the King of Guardian Fish. You look weak to me,"

"Not something I can be proud of," Shen shook his head and told her what happened between him and the King of Guardian Fish, "Basically, I only have more Stamina than the King of Guardian Fish, not a feat I can be proud of,"

"I see," The Blizzard Tiger nodded her head as she pulled the massive fish with her paw, "I can picture how you met with my children now. My children are attracted to the blood of this fish, and you met with my children there,"

"That's right, that's what happened. I can't give your children the King of Guardian Fish's body because my cook in the village will be upset so I give them the three smaller fish instead," Shen nodded his head but then he noticed the Blizzard Mother stopped midway as she was about to take the first bite.

"That's fine, you can eat it. I will hunt another one later, so you can have this one," he was aware that she stopped because of him saying that the cook would be upset.

"I can help you with that. I will hunt three King of Guardian Fish for you when I recover," The Blizzard Tiger added. She did not like to owe something to others hence she said.

"That's fine, you don't need to," Shen shook his head, "I am more curious about what happened to you though. You are strong but who managed to injure you to this extent?"

Without a doubt, the Blizzard Tiger was strong as she managed to stun him with just her gaze. He was curious as to what kind of creature managed to injure the Blizzard Tiger. But then he noticed a change of look on her face, "If you are uncomfortable with that, you don't have to tell me," He immediately added.

"That's okay. I don't mind telling you who turned me like this. I was just still upset to him," The Mother Tiger shook her head while chewing the fish meat, "It was my children's father who did this to me,"
