The ferocity of a tiger penetrated everyone's heart. However, after the initial shock, Dong Miaomiao and Hao Yun looked at Ye Lingchen, Little Green, and Little Grey then calmed down slightly.

Fortunately, it was not a gigolo on their side.

Rustle!

The foliage shook.

Little Green and Little Grey, who were on alert, immediately raised their heads, then shot out like an arrow toward the direction!

"Awooo!"

Behind them, the entire pack of wolves followed suit. They quickly surrounded the target and let out a low growl.

"Will they end up fighting?" Hao Yun was anxious, yet stared curiously into the woods.

"Come, let's go have a look." Ye Lingchen laughed. "It's rare to come across a wild tiger."

It was not surprising for a tiger to appear on this island. No matter the region, they all had their own unique ecosystem. To put it simply, the great nations in the world were just bigger islands, yet many countries had their own tigers despite being an ocean apart.

Moreover, this island's surroundings were much better than in other places. It was as close to a virgin forest as it could be. By his estimate, it was no different from the forests of Aflecka1.

"Roar!"

When the three of them approached, both parties were still stuck in a staredown. They were only letting out warning growls.

However, the situation was clear. Little Green and Little Grey led the twenty wolves and had a tiger tightly surrounded. Add to it Little Green and Little Grey's strength, they were definitely capable of subduing the tiger.

The tiger seemed to be on the defensive. It lowered its body and tried to look for a way out, not daring to initiate the attack. On the other hand, Little Green and Little Grey did not plan to fight to the death without Ye Lingchen's command.

The tiger felt rather speechless. It was starving for some time and just heard some sounds. At first, it thought that some prey had delivered itself to its door, thinking it was some blessing from the heavens. Who would have thought that it would suddenly be surrounded? It was an unexpected twist of events.

"Wow, such a big tiger." Hao Yun's mouth was agape as she stared at the tiger. Her fear had subsided greatly.

"So awesome. This tiger's size is almost the same as a Siberian tiger." Dong Miaomiao appeared more professional. Her eyes were filled with awe. One should know that the Siberian tigers were known to be the strongest tiger in the world, with an amazing bite force.

For example, a crocodile was strong, but the moment it was hunted by the Siberian tiger, it would be killed in seconds.

"Not only that. This is a female tiger too," Ye Lingchen joked.

"How did you know?" Hao Yun asked.

"You'll know in a moment." Ye Lingchen left it hanging. He carefully checked out the tiger, then his eyebrows twitched.

There was something wrong with the tiger's body, and it was no small matter. Its Qi was weak. Although it seemed strong, it was actually extremely weak. Moreover, it had just given birth some time ago!

Hao Yun was just about to glare at Ye Lingchen, just to see him walking and slowly approaching the tiger.

"Hey, are you crazy!?" Hao Yun felt nervous.

"Director Ye, be careful." Dong Miaomiao too had a change of expression and quickly reminded him.

Ye Lingchen waved his hand, signaling for them to calm down and also for Little Green and Little Grey to retreat, ceasing their intimidation. He then went forward by himself.

The tense atmosphere immediately relaxed. However, Dong Miaomiao and Hao Yun grew more anxious. Their fists were tightly gripped and had started sweating.

"Calm down, relax."

Instead, Ye Lingchen looked relaxed as he signaled at the tiger. The power of advanced Animal Taming skill was fully on display at that moment. Even though it was just the first time they met, it allowed Ye Lingchen to communicate his kindness to the tiger, thus calming it slightly.

Meanwhile, Little Green and Little Grey were nearby, staring at the tiger with their teeth bared. As long as the other party made any sudden movement, they would pounce immediately.

"That's right. Relax."

Ye Lingchen's voice carried a hint of charming power. "I'm your friend. I can treat your wounds."

Right then, the benefits of animal languages were made obvious. If he could communicate directly with the tiger, then it would be easy to gain the tiger's trust when used in tandem with Animal Taming. He could have avoided all that trouble.

Under the tiger's watchful eye, Ye Lingchen approached slowly, then placed his hands gently on its body. It caused the tiger's fur to stand on end. Its body froze and it let out a deep growl.

"Whimper..."

Little Green and Little Grey immediately approached, filled with apprehension.

Dong Miaomiao and Hao Yun had instead covered their mouths and kept their eyes glued to Ye Lingchen, worried that they would scream out loud.

'That's just madness! How can such a crazy person exist?'

"Shh—"

Ye Lingchen placed his index finger over his mouth, making a silencing motion. After that, he slowly massaged the tiger's flowing fur.

Seeing the tiger's gaze turning gentle and letting its guard down, Ye Lingchen finally approached it. He then raised his palms, putting his index finger and middle finger together to massage the tiger's back along its acupoints.

Following that, the massage went from its spine to the tiger's abdomen.

"Huff."

The tiger comfortably closed its eyes, then lowered its body to lie on the ground. It even made a big yawn.

"T-t-this…"

Hao Yun's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, pointing at Ye Lingchen, stunned speechless.

"This guy's friendliness is just...too much?" Dong Miaomiao took a deep breath. She could not help but think of the charm that Ye Lingchen mentioned earlier when he was showing off. "This is not just seducing both genders. He's even seducing animals now. The female tiger turned docile."

Ye Lingchen turned around, waving at Hao Yun. "Throw me two fish from the bucket."

"Oh." Hao Yun was stunned for a moment, then threw two carps over.

The tiger voraciously ate one, then left one untouched. Its attitude had suddenly turned even more gentle.

10 minutes later, Ye Lingchen finally stopped and stood up. The tiger had no intention to attack him. Instead, it wiggled its head at the others.

"Director Ye, what's going on?" Dong Miaomiao swallowed hard, not daring to approach.

"This tiger had just given birth some time ago. Its stomach had some extravasated blood, leading to its poor health. Add to that her need to take care of the tiger cubs, she was starving for quite some time," Ye Lingchen explained calmly. "Don't worry. I've treated it and it's now friends with me."

"Gave birth? She gave birth to tiger cubs?" Hao Yun asked curiously.

While they were talking, the tiger picked up the fish from the ground, gave Ye Lingchen a look, and then slowly walked away.

"Let's go. It wants us to follow along." Ye Lingchen laughed, then followed along.

After approximately 500 meters, the gang finally stopped at some haystack under a tree. Within the haystacks were three tiger cubs peeking at the outside world carefully.

Seeing the three tiger cubs, Hao Yun and Dong Miaomiao's heart immediately melted…

非黑國 (Fei Hei Guo / Non-Black Country/Nation) - Due to the insensitive nature of the name, and the author's attempt to give a pseudonym to the country, we thought it would be best to name this place Aflecka. From now on, I'll always think of Aflecka as the country of birth for Ben Afleck. Nobody shall convince me otherwise, hahahah. (Note, your translator might have gone a little crazy recently.)
