Liu Gang had never expected her to care and protect Xue Yahui as he saw the tiger go off into the forest. "No one can harm it or destroy this forest. This forest is the Tiger's home. No one can hunt it either! If anyone were to ever do so then they will be punished with death!" Everyone shook as they bowed to agree.

Liu Gang was glad that he said that Consort Wan Bao and Minister Nie Bo were to be executed the next day. Xue Yahui never saw his mother as his cause she never showed affection to him like Consort Ling Fe. He never met his real father but he only heard about him being born from another man.

"Duke Xue, since the investigation has come to an end then I would like to take my leave."

"General Liu, I thank you for never stopping to help us. If you would like anything then please come to ask me. If you want to marry one of my daughters then I would gladly allow it." Liu Gang then stopped.

Xue Ya was looking at him, she loved his handsome features, he was in a high power position, also intimidating. She felt her heart wanting to marry him. She couldn't help but smile at him as Liu Gang was looking around for something or someone.

Liu Gang didn't see Xue Liang as he then turned to look at Duke Xue Cheng. "I have considered Miss Liang. Would you allow me to marry Miss Liang?"

Xue Ya was heartbroken as she didn't think that a lowly consorts daughter would catch his attention. She clenched her fist as she felt anger and jealousy.

"Alright but I must ask her first if she will allow it. I will give you results cause I won't allow it if she doesn't." Liu Gang nodded as they left. Liu Gang decided that he wanted to visit the tiger since he felt an urge to. "Lim, lead the men back. I'm going to walk in the forest for a bit." Peng Lim nodded as he led the men back.

Liu Gang went into the forest following her fragrance. Finding a river, he saw her but he was about to walk when he stopped and saw something he never expected.

The tiger shifted as Xue Liang appeared. Looking down to the water as the moon shined down at her. He couldn't help but feel that he must have her more but also that she was just like him.

Xue Liang looked down as she sighed at least knowing that her little brother was safe. She looked into the water, she heard about her father letting him marry any of the Xue daughters. She didn't want to say anything but she respected her father. She loved Liu Gang and she felt her tears fall down. She was nothing but a consorts daughter.

Liu Gang saw her in tears, he wanted to know as he walked up to her when she saw him and gasped. Xue Liang knew that he possibly saw that she was the tiger.

"Liang, why didn't you tell me you were the little tiger?" He said as she got up and tried to leave as he pulled her back.

"Gang, let me go!" She hit his chest but he wasn't going to release her as he held her in his arms.

"Liang, tell me!" Liu Gang didn't release her. She then stepped on his foot as he lost his footing. Both fell into the river as Xue Liang got up first as he did.

She tried to get out of the river as Liu Gang held her wrist. "Gang, let me go!"

She struggled to get his hand off as he didn't release her. She then kicked him, getting up to the grass but he grabbed her again pinning her down to the grass. "I want an answer. You know better what we are than I do." She tried to get her hand out again as he then pushed her down. They both were now staring into each other's eyes. "Why are you ignoring me? What did I do?" He asked as she felt tears starting to stream down. She knew he did nothing wrong.

"You did nothing wrong. Just leave me alone. You have someone else to go to. I'm no one but a low blood." Xue Liang looked away as she didn't want to be seen crying. "It must be such a shame to see this lowly one cry." Liu Gang was feeling frustrated that she would always put herself down.

Liu Gang grabbed her wrists and pinned them above her head with one of his hands as the other grabbed her chin, pressing his lips to hers.

Xue Liang was shocked as she tried to push him back but he had pinned her down completely. As she struggled he soon slid his tongue into her mouth as their tongues intertwined with one another. She soon bit his lips as it didn't stop him until he separated to get air.

Xue Liang and Liu Gang we're breathing heavily as he looked down at her. His lip was somewhat bleeding as he smirked looking at her. "Don't think I'll let you go now. I'm going to marry you. You cannot reject me. I know what you are and you know what I am. I will have only one wife and one love for each life I am born in. You are going to be my wife and love for every lifetime of mine. I won't take any other. Even if you deny me, I won't allow you to run away from me." They looked at each other for a long time as he soon got up. Xue Liang got up but remained on her bottom sitting on the grass.

"Why me? I'm no one. My sister will help you to become a higher rank and favored." Liu Gang sighed and he then pressed his lips to hers. Making her heart flutter more crazy for him. He separated looking at her amber eyes.

"Like I said, I want you. Never have I ever thought about another woman but you. You better be ready because I will only want you. I will ask more about us being able to become a large feline when we are married. I won't let you off easily." Liu Gang said as he walked out of the forest. Xue Liang touched her lips as she didn't think he would want her because he saw her as a tiger or if he really meant it.
