Chapter 384: Leaving the Cave of the Ape King

Jian Chen declined to respond to the Ape King’s warning and instead replied with a smile, “I know!”

The Ape King stared deeply at Jian Chen with a serious gaze before saying, “Any family with a Ruler Armament is a family with power. A person traveling alone with the Heavenly Tiger God will surely come across many unforeseen events!”

“Senior Ape King, there is a reason why we have the expression, ‘counter soldiers with arms, and water with an earth weir’. The situation has already come, but there is no use mentioning that now. Although the family in question is very strong the Tian Yuan Continent is massive, so they will not be able to find me easily.” Jian Chen spoke without fear.

“I indeed hope that way. I only wish for the child of Rum Guinness to stay safe from any wrongful harm.” The Ape King sighed before taking out a bottle. With a pained face, he gave it to Jian Chen, “For the child of Rum Guinness, I will part myself from one of my treasures. This bottle of Hundred Grass Wine is for you. I hope that you will be able to improve yourself, this way, you will be able to properly protect the Heavenly Tiger God.”

“Many thanks, senior Ape King!” Jian Chen cried out in joy before quickly putting the bottle into his Space Ring as if afraid that the Ape King would change his mind.

“Senior Ape King, then this Ruler Armament will be given to you in exchange for the Hundred Grass Wine.” Taking the bottle, Jian Chen pushed the Seal of Treasure Mountain toward the Ape King.

The Ape King cast an eye at the item for a moment before speaking, “The Ruler Armaments of you humans serve no use for me. Take it with you. If you come across a method to use it, then the Ruler Armament will be of use to you.”

Hearing that, Jian Chen hesitated for a moment before taking the Seal of Treasure Mountain back.

“The growth of a Heavenly Tiger God is excruciatingly slow; they must consume a large amount of heavenly resources in order to grow. Since I have spent many years collecting every type of said resource and Rum Guinness is my dear friend, I shall bequeath them to her child for the sake of growing faster.” Waving his hand, several heavenly resources began to fill the table.

Thousand year Ginseng, Spirit Mushrooms, Knotweed, Dragon’s Tongue Grass, Core Plant, Hundred year old Spirit Root and so on. All sorts of ingredients that Jian Chen had never seen before appeared on the table.

These items were all being given to the tiger cub, so Jian Chen did not declined any of them. With a word of thanks, Jian Chen began to collect the heavenly resources.

The Ape King spoke once more, “Stay for a while. I will be feeding the resources to the Heavenly Tiger God in the meantime. The child is in a sleep to digest them right now. We shall see if there are any changes later. When the child wakes, you may take him and leave.”

After that, the Ape King ignored Jian Chen and sat back on his bed. Closing his eyes, he descended into a calm meditative sleep.

The belly of the cave had became deathly quiet. In his boredom, Jian Chen walked around the cave observing the strange plants being cultivated.

After waiting for six hours, the tiger cub finally awoke. Both of its bright eyes began to flicker open and immediately took notice of Jian Chen who was standing not too far away.

Upon seeing Jian Chen, the white tiger cub was stunned. Afterward, it began to cry out happily before leaping from the bed toward Jian Chen.

Hearing the tiger cub’s cry, Jian Chen’s face lit up in happiness before turning around just in time to see a white streak of light shooting toward his chest. Catching the cub in both hands, the tiger cub knocked against Jian Chen’s torso with enough force that Jian Chen had to take several steps back.

“Mrrr…” The white tiger cub was exceedingly happy and continued to purr into Jian Chen’s chest as it rubbed its head against Jian Chen’s chin. Its tongue licked at Jian Chen without stop in a clear indication of its joy.

After the events of the past few days, the white tiger had begun to dote upon Jian Chen a lot more.

Jian Chen smiled as he looked at the tiger cub. He could clearly tell that the tiger cub had grown heavier and even bigger since the last time he saw it. All four of the paws of the cub had already grown to be incredibly sharp, and even its fangs were terrifying to look at.

“Jian Chen, take the Heavenly Tiger God and leave this place. The child cannot stay here for too long.” The Ape King’s voice could be heard. Opening his eyes, he smiled in the direction of the white tiger with an affectionate expression.

“Yes, senior Ape King, this one will be leaving then, farewell!” Jian Chen spoke to the Ape King before leading the tiger cub away.
