Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 984: Chapter 983: Expel the Tiger, Swallow the Wolf! (4 more)

The Purple Extreme Lightning Lion died protecting its master, leaving Ye Haochuan deeply sorrowful. However, he knew that the most important thing at this moment was not to dwell on grief, but to quickly escape. Otherwise, the lion’s sacrifice would be meaningless.

”Look! There’s a valley ahead!” Long Piaoying suddenly reminded him.

A thin layer of mist covered the valley. If used wisely, they might be able to shake off Hellfire’s pursuers for a while.

Ye Haochuan followed where Long Piaoying was pointing and immediately spotted the valley. It was well-hidden, surrounded by towering mountains. If they hadn’t been flying, they wouldn’t have discovered it at all.

”Let’s head down and check it out!” With Hellfire’s men closing in, Ye Haochuan had to seize every opportunity to save himself.

Soon, the two successfully landed. The tension gnawing at their hearts eased by three points.

Although they had been flying for a long stretch without encountering Lei Ze, it had undeniably been a risky journey. If they were to encounter Lei Ze again, death would be certain. In comparison, staying on the ground felt far safer.

”Huh? Why does this place seem so familiar?” Ye Haochuan suddenly realized the surroundings looked eerily familiar.

”Holy crap, isn’t this the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger’s territory?” Ye Haochuan exclaimed in delight, his emotions slipping out unrestrained.

”Crimson Wing Golden Tiger? What are you talking about?” Long Piaoying asked, puzzled.

”The Crimson Wing Golden Tiger is...”

”Boom~”

Ye Haochuan was about to explain when a giant black shadow suddenly appeared before him. As it landed, the ground trembled violently.

”This is bad! A High-Level Demon Beast!” Long Piaoying exclaimed, shocked. She quickly positioned herself in front of Ye Haochuan.

Her injuries were far from healed, and even the slightest movement sent sharp pain through her chest, causing her face to turn stark white. Yet, despite her condition, she stood firmly to protect Ye Haochuan.

”Don’t worry, Immortal Aunt. This big fellow won’t harm us!” Ye Haochuan said with a grin.

”You know it?” Long Piaoying’s face was full of confusion.

”You could say that!” Ye Haochuan chuckled nervously, walking up to the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger and greeting it with a shaky voice, ”Been a while! How have you been?”

Despite trying to maintain composure, Ye Haochuan’s voice trembled uncontrollably. He wasn’t sure if the tiger would hurt them or not.

The last time the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger left had been too abrupt, and he had no idea why. All Ye Haochuan could do now was hope the tiger remained like it was before. If not, a mere puff from it would reduce him to dust.

”Roar~”

The Crimson Wing Golden Tiger let out a thundering roar as if it didn’t recognize him, the sheer force of its breath nearly blowing Ye Haochuan away.

Goddamnit! Did you forget me this quickly?

Ye Haochuan swallowed hard and immediately shifted to a fawning tone. ”Brother Tiger, surely we have a bond! You can’t treat me like a snack and eat me!”

”A bond? You humans have no shame! You stole my herbs and caused chaos in my home. What bond do we have?” The Crimson Wing Golden Tiger suddenly spoke in human language.

Holy crap, it can talk now? Truly a mystical beast!

Ye Haochuan sighed to himself and quickly replied, ”Brother Tiger, we humans have a saying: ’Kindred spirits.’ I’ve been to your home—that clearly means our relationship has reached a deep Boundary, doesn’t it?”

”Roar~”

The Crimson Wing Golden Tiger roared furiously again and coldly said, ”Don’t try to twist logic in front of me. I spared you last time out of sheer mercy. The fact that you dare come back means you’re asking for trouble. Looks like I’ll have to teach you about my true power this time!”

With that, the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger shook its mighty frame, unleashing an intimidating aura that soared to Peak levels, leaving Ye Haochuan completely frozen.

Oh, come on, not this trick again!

Ye Haochuan was utterly disheartened. Last time you didn’t kill me; why are you being so hostile now?

Little did he know, the only reason the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger had spared him before was because of Di Yan. But now, with Di Yan having left the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm, why would the tiger show him any mercy?

”Master Tiger! Let’s talk this through! I’m telling you, I’ve got strong backing. If you kill me, my clan’s experts will definitely come for revenge!” Ye Haochuan suddenly blurted.

Even Long Piaoying looked at Ye Haochuan in astonishment. This guy is such a master of nonsense! What backing? He’s literally a lone wanderer, yet he speaks with such convincing confidence.

The Crimson Wing Golden Tiger had no idea Ye Haochuan was bluffing. But at the mention of Di Yan, it couldn’t help but shudder. It harbored little fear towards Human Clan elites, but when it came to Di Yan—it dared not defy him in the slightest.

”Kid, if you want me to spare you, give the Heavenly Star Grass back to me, and I’ll let you go!” the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger finally relented.

”What? You have Heavenly Star Grass?” When Long Piaoying heard this, she gasped in surprise.

Ye Haochuan didn’t respond, tacitly confirming it.

”No wonder you gave up the Heavenly Star Grass so easily before. Turns out you had more all along. You’ve tricked me so badly!” Long Piaoying said angrily, ”Quick, hand over the Heavenly Star Grass to me!”

”Immortal Aunt, calm down! I’ll explain later!” Ye Haochuan first appeased Long Piaoying before turning back to the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger. ”Brother Tiger, I admit I took your Heavenly Star Grass, but...”

Before he could finish, a man’s voice suddenly sounded from above: ”I clearly saw them fly down here. How come they’ve disappeared?”

”They must be hiding somewhere in this valley. Search thoroughly; don’t let them get away!”

”Yes, sir!”

Oh, for crying out loud, these Dongying hounds are fast!

Ye Haochuan frowned slightly, and an idea instantly popped into his head. He looked pitiful and said, ”I did take your Heavenly Star Grass back then, but it was snatched away by the guys above. They’re here now to silence me!”

”Really?” The Crimson Wing Golden Tiger asked skeptically.

”Of course it’s true! Look at me—such an honest person; how could I possibly lie?” Ye Haochuan said, putting on a convincing face of innocence and sincerity.

”You humans lie nine times out of ten. Do you really think I’d believe you so easily?” The Crimson Wing Golden Tiger snorted coldly.

Damn, we’ve barely interacted! How could you know me so well?

Ye Haochuan felt his gut tighten and pleaded, ”I’ve been wronged, I tell you! I’m the most honest person in the village! If you don’t believe me, ask her!”

Long Piaoying saw Ye Haochuan pointing at her and couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

This guy, I don’t even know where you live. How could I know what kind of person you are back in your village? But knowing Ye Haochuan as she did, there was no doubt he was lying.

Yet, given the situation, for the sake of survival, she nodded solemnly.

”You two lovebirds defending each other—do you really think I’d trust her word?” The Crimson Wing Golden Tiger sneered.

Wait, why does that sound so pleasing to my ears? Heh, heh!

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but feel a little smug at the ”lovebirds” remark. He was about to explain himself but was interrupted when the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger said suddenly, ”Very well. These intruders have intruded upon my territory—they’re mine to eliminate. I might as well wipe them out and verify your story. That won’t take much effort anyway!”
