1715 Strength of a Tiger (2/2)

”Yup! The Green Spirit Wild Ox is also a type of Spirit Beast that doesn't experience a change in combat power once they become adults. That's why it has also become a unit of measurement!” Su Xiaoman explained. ”That saying in your hometown may have been passed down from the Earth-God realm!”

”That… Maybe…”

Chen Xiaobei put a finger on his chin.

The Earth-God realm's saying of 'two tigers and nine bulls' had existed for 10 million years. There was a good chance that on earth, it was gradually modified into Nine bulls and two tigers.

Of course, the regular bulls and tigers on earth could not compare to the Green Spirit Wild Ox and Giant Barbaric Tiger!

The strength that they represented was also naturally poles apart!

”Alright, let's go! We talked for this long just so that you're well informed on just how powerful a Giant Barbaric Tiger is!” Su Xiaoman said. ”Right now, it's in hiding and we're out here in the open! It won't be stupid enough to come charging at us! It will observe us quietly from afar, and then attack when we're not paying attention! The moment when the Earth-God strength is unleashed upon you, there's nothing you can do even if you have your trump card with you!”

”What is your plan then?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

”We'll have to exchange positions with the tiger!” Su Xiaoman answered. ”Once we locate it, it'll be the one in the open! We'll be at an advantage and we'll be safe!”

Before Chen Xiaobei could answer, a snobbish voice called out, ”That makes a lot of sense! Who knew, that there would be an expert around here! Hey, missy! Take me to find a Giant Barbaric Tiger! What did that Chen moron promise you? I will beat his offer by tenfold!”

”Who… Who are you?” Su Xiaoman asked.

Not far away from where they were standing, a dozen men led by two young men approached them.

One of the young men walking in the front had a blank, glacial look about him. He was the young master of Royal Dome's most powerful faction, Ximen Shuoxue!

The other one, the one who had spoken, was the pompous-looking young master of Saint Duke's most powerful faction, Yumen Yuanqing!

”Ugh, what is that putrid smell?!” Chen Xiaobei said in a mocking voice. ”Oh, it's that shit-eating young master Yuwen! You could've at least gargled before you left the house. The air stinks when you speak!”

”Hey, Chen! Do you want to die?” Yuwen Yuanqing hissed, his face now darkened in a shade of red.

”I don't want to die; I want to find a tiger!” Chen Xiaobei retorted. ”Little Man here is my guide. I will not agree to lend her to you!”

”Hmph! If you have money, you can even make the devil push the millstone for you*!” Yuwen Yuanqin jutted his chin. ”Hey, miss! I think you heard me well enough. I will pay ten times what Chen is paying you!”

”No!” Su Xiaoman refused. ”I will not help you even if you pay me one thousand times, one million times more! Also, don't blame me for being unkind to you if you keep badmouthing Childe Chen!”

Footnote:

*the strength of nine bulls and two tigers: tremendous strength or effort.

If you have money, you can even make the devil push the millstone for you*: Money makes the world go round. You can do anything as long as you have money.
