Chapter 421 (1/2)

Fishballs and Noodles (2)

“Alright, take me to your tribe. Doesn’t it get confusing since you both share the same race and name?” asked Ye Lang, letting Tigress go.

“What’re you talking about? We’re not from the same race at all! She’s from the feline race and I’m from the tiger race. I can’t believe you can make such a mistake!” retorted Tigress immediately.

Feline race? Up until now, Ye Lang had assumed that Taeya belonged to the tiger race. Upon hearing Tigress’ words, Ye Lang looked at Taeya, and then Tigress, and then opened his mouth…

“It can’t be! That’s almost the same thing!” blurted Ye Lang.

“The same? You said you’ve met my people, and they looked like her people. If that’s the case, why aren’t my people over there, by her side?” Tigress asked while pointing towards Taeya. She was certain that Ye Lang had seriously mistaken the current situation.

“They’re really all the same…” Ye Lang mumbled while meekly nodding.

“Everyone over there belongs to the feline race. You seriously can’t believe that we’re of the same race! Just look! How exactly are we alike?” Tigress was flabbergasted. Where Tigress was pointed, in the middle of the red legion were warriors from the tiger race. Although the two races indeed looked similar in terms of physical features, the tiger race’s solid physique and menacing aura were significantly different from the feline race’s smaller and weaker physique.

It was from this observation that Ye Lang realised he had seriously mixed up the two races. He had unknowingly acted as a double agent for the two races.

But still, he had felt that he wasn’t responsible for this mix-up. If there was someone to be blamed for this, it was Tigress.

“You can’t blame me… you guys really do look similar…” mumbled Ye Lang.

“......”

Tigress was speechless. Since Ye Lang’s childhood, Tigress was the only individual from the tiger tribe he’d ever known. So naturally, he’d assume that everyone else from the tiger race would’ve looked like Tigress.

Furthermore, it was true that Tigress’ physique and height had more or less fit the feline race’ description. No wonder Ye Lang was mistaken!

“Fine, I guess I’m the odd one out for looking almost like a member of the feline race. But we do have some very obvious differing traits, like our ears and tails. Surely you could’ve noticed that?” continued Tigress.

“Oh yeah, I’ve noticed that. I just thought that changed once you grow older,” explained Ye Lang.

“But I wasn’t expecting your height to remain the same. Say… I’m a head taller than you now, Tigress,” continued Ye Lang, gesturing with his hand.

“......”

Tigress was annoyed at his words, she was tempted to bite him for it.

“So what if I’m short like that, you got a problem with it?” pouted Tigress, making herself appear more adorable.

Although she wasn’t the only one from her race that was rather short, Tigress looked especially youthful in her short stature. She had not grown much after her thirteenth birthday and she still retained her youthful, adolescent-like looks.

“I can protect you, not a problem!” replied Ye Lang, with a mock salute.

‘I’m always the one looking out for you, dummy. The day when you’ll be the one protecting me will be the day when pigs fly,’ Tigress thought to herself.
