The next day, early in the morning, Ye Kong returned with a piece of meat in his left hand and a treasure bone in his right, a trace of bloodstains clinging to the corner of his clothes.
"That little white tiger was really fierce, almost exploding on its own," Ye Kong said with relief.
If the little white tiger had exploded, both the treasure bone and its flesh would have been lost, making the trip futile.
Fortunately, however, Ye Kong killed the tiger with one strike before it could explode.
The flesh on the treasure bone had been fully refined by Ye Kong and could be used as a foundation for cultivation.
"Woof! Woof!"
Erha, sensing the smell of blood, ran quickly from Taoshan Mountain and looked up at the flesh in Ye Kong's hand.
"You can't eat this," Ye Kong said.
The flesh contained the tiger's full killing aura, and a single drop of blood could kill it.
The treasure bone was also meant for the little white tiger's cultivation.
"Take this treasure bone to the little white tiger. If you dare to eat it, I'll boil you into soup!"
"Woof! Woof!" Erha responded.
Ye Kong threw the treasure bone at Erha and then took the flesh back to Xiaoyao Hall to roast it with spiritual fire.
Soon, the aroma of roasted meat spread throughout Xiaoyao Peak.
"Meat, delicious meat,"
The sleeping little white tiger smelled the aroma and drooled with envy.
"Woof! Woof!" Erha barked, waking up the sleeping little white tiger.
Upon waking, the little white tiger smelled the aroma of meat mixed with the air.
"Who's roasting meat?" The little white tiger asked, noticing Erha carrying a bone in its mouth.
"Erha isn't being boiled, so where's the meat coming from?"
Erha: ...
The little white tiger walked out of its room, following the aroma and making its way to the entrance of Xiaoyao Hall.
Lin Yaoyao came along too, having also smelled the aroma of roasted meat.
When they entered the courtyard behind Xiaoyao Hall, they saw their master had already roasted the meat.
The meat was golden brown and fragrant, stimulating their appetites.
"Master, we want to eat too," the little white tiger said softly.
"You want to eat?" Ye Kong asked.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The little white tiger and Lin Yaoyao nodded vigorously.
They wanted to eat...
But this tiger meat contained too much killing aura. If they consumed it, it could kill them.
Hmm... I'll make some soup for you.
As the master eats the meat, the disciples should at least be allowed to have some soup.
"Wait, I'll get the bowls and chopsticks,"
Ye Kong said, fetching two sets of bowls and chopsticks from the backyard.
"Master, you don't have to go to such trouble. We can eat with our hands," the little white tiger smiled, drooling uncontrollably.
It smelled so delicious.
Ye Kong poured some water into a bowl and sliced off a piece of meat, dipping it in the water.
"Here, have some meat soup," Ye Kong handed two bowls of meat soup to the little white tiger and Lin Yaoyao.
The little white tiger: ...
Lin Yaoyao: ...
"Master, we want to eat the meat," the little white tiger said.
"Disciples, this meat contains a strong killing aura. If you eat it, it will kill you," Ye Kong said.
Diluting it into a bowl of soup effectively clears the killing aura contained in the tiger meat.
If the little white tiger and Lin Yaoyao had eaten the tiger meat directly, they would have died instantly.
Upon hearing this, the little white tiger was deeply speechless.
Meat containing a killing aura?
Are you kidding me, Master?
Why don't you say the meat is poisonous and we can't eat it?
This is just ordinary meat, not the meat of a sacred fierce white tiger, right?
If Master doesn't want to share the meat with us, he could have come up with a better excuse.
The little white tiger looked down at the soup in its hand. Where was the meat?
This was clearly just a bowl of water that had been dipped in a piece of meat.
Could this be called meat soup?
Whose meat soup is like this?
Lin Yaoyao had already expected that their master wouldn't give them any meat, and she was not surprised by this.
Oh well, Master is just stingy.
Not giving us meat to eat is one thing, but tricking us into thinking it's meat soup?
"Oh, by the way, little white, I asked Erha to deliver your cultivation foundation item to you. Did you receive it?" Ye Kong then asked.
"No..." The little white tiger just started to speak before remembering the bone Erha had been carrying earlier.
"I saw it," the little white tiger said.
"That's the cultivation foundation item I found for you. Use it to lay your foundation," Ye Kong said.
Then he continued eating the tiger meat.
The little white tiger and Lin Yaoyao exchanged glances, both seeing speechlessness in the other's eyes.
Master is great in every way, except that he's protective of his food and won't share it with them.
The two carried their bowls of soup and left.
Lin Yaoyao fed the soup to her pet, Xiaolan.
"Master is really something. Not only doesn't he share his meat with us, but he also gives us water that's been dipped in meat. Who does he think he's looking down on?"
"I'm not drinking it,"
After giving the water to Xiaolan, Lin Yaoyao went back to her room to meditate.
She wouldn't go to her master when he was eating meat anymore.
Xiaolan licked the water in the bowl, and a flash of white light appeared in her eyes.
Some subtle changes occurred in her limbs, and a few white hairs appeared on her forehead.
"Meow!" Her meow also contained a hint of a tiger's roar.
Cats and tigers are closely related.
The little white tiger walked on the road and casually poured the soup into a pond.
"Is this stuff called meat soup?"
The little white tiger looked disgusted and threw the bowl aside.
A dragon carp in the pond drank the soup and rolled around in the water before diving back down.
After returning, Erha carried the treasure bone and handed it to the little white tiger.
"Woof! Woof!"
The little white tiger took the bone with a disgusted expression, sensing that there was nothing special about it. It seemed to be just an ordinary bone.
He immediately said angrily, "Master, you're too much!"
"You eat meat yourself and give me a broken bone to lay my foundation?"
"If this thing can be used to lay a foundation, I, little white, will eat grass upside down!"
The little white tiger threw the bone aside.
He had thought that his master would give him a decent treasure bone for cultivation, but instead, it was just a broken bone.
It didn't have any spirituality at all.
This?
Can it be used to lay a foundation?
Trying to fool an idiot!
I, the mighty Demon Emperor Bai Wuchen, would never use a broken bone to lay my foundation!
The little white tiger became more and more angry. Once he laid his foundation, he would definitely suppress his master first!
Let him see how powerful the Demon Emperor was!
In the backyard of Xiaoyao Hall,
Ye Kong ate the roasted tiger meat while refining the killing aura with his powerful spiritual energy.
The white tiger was the master of killing, and its killing aura penetrated deep into its bones and flesh.
Even after losing its vitality and becoming roasted meat, the killing aura still remained.
"This roasted tiger meat tastes good, but it's too troublesome to refine it every time I eat a piece. I don't know if my disciples can refine that faint killing aura after drinking the meat soup,"
Ye Kong shook his head and ate another piece of meat.
It was delicious!
"Woof! Woof!" Erha ran over, begging for meat.
Seeing this, Ye Kong cut off a piece of meat as big as his fingernail and threw it to Erha.
After eating it, Erha felt like its body was going to split open. A white light enveloped it, threatening to tear its body apart.
Ye Kong waved his hand, calming the white light.
"Do you still want to eat?" Ye Kong asked with a faint smile.
Erha looked up at the roasted meat on the seat and then lowered its head.
It wanted to eat, but it didn't dare.
Its stomach now feels as if it has been sliced by a knife, causing intense pain. It is estimated that it will take a long time to recover.
However, the white tiger meat has greatly enhanced its abilities.
"Go down and supervise Little Bai's training," Ye Kong waved his hand, and the dog left.
Ye Kong finished eating the white tiger meat with difficulty but satisfaction.
