Chapter 419: Interference of the Qiangan Kingdom (2/2)

For a moment, Jian Chen was stunned, but a rare smile greeted his face as he began to caress the white figure that was buried against his chest.

The sudden white figure that had appeared in the room was the white tiger cub he had nearly forgotten about by the edge of the Qiangan Kingdom.

Seeing how Jian Chen was familiar with the white tiger cub, the initial anger that was on general Liu’s face instantly disappeared. He had seen Xiao Tian bring the cub, so he was not unfamiliar with it.

“Honored Imperial Protector, seeing how the door is broken, I shall send someone over to fix it straight away.” General Liu spoke before leaving the room.

“Mrrrrrowrr…” The tiger cub had tears in its eyes as it looked at Jian Chen with a look of sorrow. Both of its claws sank into Jian Chen’s clothes, rendering the clothes nearly useless; both actions were a sign of its dissatisfaction with Jian Chen.

Continuing to pet the head of the tiger cub affectionately, Jian Chen spoke a word of apology to it softly. Then, as if to console the cub, he took out several thousand year ginseng for the tiger cub to eat.

The tiger cub was confused momentarily before brightening up. As if forgetting about its unhappiness, it gobbled up the ginseng with a happy purr before yawning when it was finished. In a few moments, it fell asleep on Jian Chen’s lap.

Seeing the tiger cub in such a cute fashion, Jian Chen couldn’t help but smile fondly. It had only been now that he had realized just how deep the tiger cub had come to like him.

In a flash, three days went by. During three days, Jian Chen continued to feed the tiger cub several heavenly resources in hopes that it would mature even faster. Jian Chen had not forgotten elder Xiu’s words and tried to hasten its growth as soon as possible.

Jian Chen knew that elder Xiu was not a person of empty words. Perhaps in the near future, there would definitely be some trouble for the tiger cub.

After three days, Xiao Tian and the three other Heaven Saint Masters were fully recovered from their wounds. Upon seeing Jian Chen, the three Heaven Saint Masters from the Gesun Kingdom naturally gave him their heartfelt gratitude.

“Imperial Protector, it is a good thing you came at the time you did. Otherwise, my life would have been ended here.” Xiao Tian laughed without any lingering fear in his voice.

“Xiao Tian, in such a situation, even if you could not beat your enemies, I have full faith that you would at least be able to run away.” Jian Chen laughed. Being an Imperial Advisor of the Qinhuang Kingdom was completely different than being an Imperial Protector of any regular kingdom. They were carefully selected and were worlds beyond those of the other kingdoms. It was only if they were up against an entity of unbelievable power that they would die easily.

Jian Chen knew that Xiao Tian was several hundred years old and was a Fifth Cycle Heaven Saint Master. His talent could only be described as terrifying and was virtually close to breaking through to the Saint Ruler realm. Jian Chen didn’t believe that Xiao Tian didn’t have some sort of life saving trump card since not a single Imperial Advisor would die that easily.

After speaking with the other men for a while, Jian Chen arrived at the crux of the problem. “By now, the Gesun Kingdom has been attacked by the Qiangan Kingdom as well. With the two sides combined, they have nine Heaven Saint Masters which is a major problem to the Gesun Kingdom as a whole. Xiao Tian, defend the eastern stronghold for the next few days in case they try for another invasion.”

“Honored Imperial Protector, are you going to be leaving?” Xiao Tian spoke with a slightly hesitant voice.

Jian Chen nodded, “I will personally go to the Qiangan Kingdom. Now that they have meddled in our war, we cannot let them off easily.” Jian Chen’s eyes flashed with a bright glow of killing intent. If he was not in this fight, Chang Bai would be in danger.
