Chapter 32: Walking Into a Trap

A certain disciple hugged Brother Cheng's leg tightly.

"I'm confessing, actually I've admired the Sect Leader for a long time..."

Yin Xiaoxue stomped on his face and kicked him away.

"Get lost! The Sect Leader is mine!"

"Um..."

Ji Linghan, who had been quietly watching them, cleared her throat and sweetly smiled.

"Junior Brother Lang, Junior Sister Yin, some words should not be spoken carelessly."

Her voice was still soft, but her calm eyes inexplicably held a hint of menace, making Brother Cheng feel a bit of danger.

The disciples felt a chill all over, and Yin Xiaoxue quickly released her hands from Jiang Cheng's neck.

She also let go of her legs and got down to the ground from him.

"Uh, Senior Sister, please, please..."

Joking aside, the disciples' admiration and worship of him grew daily, which was a fact.

No choice, his power had already surpassed their imagination.

Moreover, he avenged their sect's destruction and gave them Spiritual Artifacts. How could they not like such a new boss?

Just as he was about to let them go cultivate, Ah Huang ran over excitedly to report her accomplishment.

"Mama, mama, this little kitty just broke in, and I caught it."

Her two pigtails swung back and forth, and her flushed face was full of expressions saying, "Praise me quickly."

"Ah, good daughter, well done..."

Jiang Cheng casually started saying, but his jaw almost dropped in shock.

What Ah Huang held by the neck wasn't some little kitty at all, it was clearly the Three-Eyed Fierce Tiger King!

Even in its miniaturized form, it was still a Demon King.

Holy crap, how did you bring it here?

If it conjured a fierce thought, the entire Feixian Sect would be left with only him alive.

Just like any other parent seeing kids playing with fire or electricity, he was about to shout "Be careful, put down that dangerous item," when he realized there was no Spiritual Power fluctuation on the Three-Eyed Tiger.

The Three-Eyed Tiger may have been jinxed recently, suffering from bad luck.

It barely reached Feixian Sect and was sensed by Ah Huang.

Its Spiritual Qi was instantly depleted, yet it still possessed a robust Divine Soul.

To be honest, it still could stir up trouble.

But the next instant it was caught by the neck by Ah Huang, sealing its Divine Soul upon contact.

The grand Demon King couldn't overcome the Power of Rules from the World Heart Fragment.

It was in tears, having become harmless in Ah Huang's hands like a kitten.

The female disciples weren't aware of the truth, seeing the appearance of the Three-Eyed Tiger as incredibly cute, and gathered around automatically.

"Wow, such a cute little kitty..."

"Hey, hey, isn't this a little tiger?"

"Yeah, three eyes; it should be a Demon Beast, right?"

"Demon Beast, but it doesn't have any Spiritual Power."

In just a few seconds, the Three-Eyed Tiger was being petted nonstop by seven or eight female disciples.

The grand Demon King!

What a disgrace!

Yet, under the eaves, one must bow the head.

Especially with Jiang Cheng casting a suspicious gaze nearby.

Brother Cheng wasn't foolish; he could easily see through the creature's intentions.

It probably wasn't carrying good intentions.

How should he handle it?

Kill it?

Considering the Three-Eyed Tiger helped him win four splendid battles, it contributed greatly, he was indeed a bit reluctant.

But leaving it alone wasn't an option.

"You all be careful, it's a powerful Demon Beast, very fierce!"

Watching this group of female disciples pet from head to toe, he was both amused and exasperated.

Haven't you heard you shouldn't mess with a tiger's behind?

If this goes on, the Three-Eyed Tiger will surely be fumed with anger.

Although Ah Huang could subdue it...

"Ah? Does the Sect Leader know this Demon Beast?" Yin Xiaoxue retracted her hand, asking curiously.

"Yes, it's my yet-to-be-tamed Spirit Pet, full of fierceness."

Jiang Cheng's introduction hit the Three-Eyed Tiger.

"You're the Spirit Pet, your whole family are Spirit Pets!" it shouted angrily.

The female disciples gasped again.

"Wow, it can actually speak?"

"Its voice is a bit old and not very pleasant."

"A bit of fierceness is fine, I know well how to tame small animals."

Ji Linghan, as the senior sister, stood up first to relieve the Sect Leader of his troubles.

They saw her wipe her Storage Ring, and a small silver cage appeared out of thin air.

Three-Eyed Tiger: ???

Brother Cheng: ???

Hey, why would you carry a cage with you?

"I'll fight you all!"

The Three-Eyed Tiger was about to collapse; being caged would ruin its reputation forever!

Jiang Cheng knew that if it were freed in the future, it would inevitably seek revenge.

"Okay, okay, let me talk to it."

"Pshaw, just you?"

Despite being caught by Ah Huang, the Three-Eyed Tiger still showed the aloofness of a Demon King.

"Show some respect."

"You think you're worthy?"

The Three-Eyed Tiger sneered, disdainful of such Soul Splitting Realm trash.

"So you're unwilling to submit?"

"Get lost! Demons can be killed but not humiliated!"

"Alright, since you're so bold and righteous, I won't force the demon to be in distress."

Jiang Cheng waved his hand.

"Ah Huang, strangle it then, we'll avoid insulting it."

Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, the Three-Eyed Tiger thought he had found his conscience.

Upon hearing the second half, it immediately panicked.

It didn't have Jiang Cheng's resurrection ability; death meant true death.

"No, no, bro, bro, let's talk nicely..."

Everyone covered their faces; this Tiger Demon changed its stance too fast!

"Why are you doing this?"

Jiang Cheng chuckled gleefully; this really was an unexpected gain.

If it were outside, he could never have subdued the Three-Eyed Tiger. But here it came begging for capture.

"What I want you to do is very simple..."

The Three-Eyed Tiger interrupted him.

"Let me state first, being a Spirit Pet or mount is impossible!"

"If it comes to that, I'd rather die!"

After speaking, it closed its eyes, indeed making a heroic and unyielding appearance.

Brother Cheng looked it up and down for a moment, unsure if it was just putting on a show.

But it didn't matter.

To be honest, he had no need for Spirit Pets; he relied on the system to show off anyway.

"Be the Sect Guardian Spirit Beast for three years."

Finished?

That's it?

The Three-Eyed Tiger waited for him to make exorbitant demands, as it understood the predicament of being under a roof.

It was ready to be fleeced hard by this guy.

And that's it?

"Are you sure?"

Just three years?

It had lived for tens of thousands of years; three years to it was a mere fleeting moment, practically nothing.

As for Celestial Demon Domain, whether absent for three years or even thirty years didn't make much difference.

Being a Sect Guardian Spirit Beast didn't require a slave contract; it merely needed to protect the sect from external invasion.

"What, do you find it too lenient? We can make changes."

"No, no, these harsh conditions, I'll reluctantly agree!"

Both sides quickly reached an agreement.

Jiang Cheng had his reasons for choosing such lenient terms.

He himself feared nothing, but the sect's power was really too weak; all the disciples were in the Gathering Yuan Realm.

Couldn't always rely on Ah Huang.

It served as a layer of safety for the headquarters.

As for only choosing three years, with Brother Cheng's rapid rise, they likely wouldn't need the Three-Eyed Tiger to bolster their reputation after three years.

Once the agreement was made, Ah Huang released the Restriction, and the Three-Eyed Tiger finally recovered its Spiritual Power and Divine Soul.
