A little creature was playing around with the glowing stone!
Mo Fan would not have been surprised if it was a little eagle. After all, the glowing stone looked quite precious, as if it contained a high amount of energy.
However, the strange thing was, the little creature carrying the Night Amethyst was not an eaglet, but a creature that resembled a tiger!
Its eyes were huge and adorable, like something from a cartoon, glittering in the dim light.
Its snow-white ears were erect with curiosity, and its head was slanted to one side.
Its chubby paws were stepping on the ice. Its short but balanced limbs were like those of an elegant kitten, but the silver whiskers and menacing mouth made it look completely different from a kitten. Its presence was already several times stronger than any cat.
“A tiger cub?!”
It was a tiger! A small white tiger with an elegant and mystical demeanor!
Mo Fan and Apas stared, their eyes wide. They were wondering if they had seen it wrong.
Why was there a white tiger’s cub in the eagle fledglings’ kindergarten? Was the Scar of Tianshan Mountain already free from species discrimination? Were the young of different species taken care of in the same place?
“Ugh… little thing, did you go to the wrong class?” Mo Fan gently asked the little cub, who was unafraid of these strangers.
The little white tiger was intrigued too. It was struggling to understand how such a stick-like creature had appeared out of nowhere. They did not look like eagles at all!
Apas reached her hand out to express goodwill to the cub.
The little cub was still holding the glowing stone, like a little baby clinging onto his pacifier. It sniffed and stuck its nose closer to Apas’ hand.
“Don’t scare it with the foxy scent of yours,” Mo Fan said.
Apas ignored Mo Fan. She waited for the cub to come closer before fondling its ears. She boldly bent the ear back around. The ear looked firm, but it was actually soft and flexible. Mo Fan thought the cub would be mad, yet it suddenly turned into a happy kitten and let Apas play with its ear gently.
“So it’s a perverted cub,” Mo Fan said disdainfully.
“It seems to have entered the eagles’ nest by accident.” Apas was extremely pleased by the little cub. She soon picked it up in her arms.
“Aren’t the demon tigers and the ancient eagles enemies? What a bold little cub she is to sneak into their enemy’s nest. Most importantly, the eagles are clueless about her existence!” Mo Fan said.
“The eaglets know. They were playing with her just now,” Apas replied.
The eaglets were not aggressive. They even behaved normally when they saw Mo Fan and Apas were there. Some of the bolder chubby ones even circled Apas and Mo Fan.
Loud cries suddenly came from above. They obviously belonged to male eagles.
“We should leave,” Apas said.
“We haven’t found any Night Amethyst,” Mo Fan complained.
