Chapter 58 Even the strongest tiger king is afraid of a tigress.
Tiger Brother, who was slapped ashore by Cangnian, struggled frantically at first, but after struggling for a while, he found that he had not sunk to the bottom of the water.
Immediately, its flailing paws stopped, and its body remained floating peacefully on the water's surface.
Cang Nian had anticipated this.
Tigers are born with the ability to float, so even if they don't know how to swim, they won't drown.
Especially the cubs, their buoyancy when immersed in amniotic fluid allows them to float even if they have never been in water before.
Seeing this, Cangnian wasted no time and plunged into the water, then began paddling with his limbs.
Seeing that Cangnian could swim in the water, Tiger Brother grasped Cangnian's movements through the clear stream and tried to swing his claws as well.
Then, its body, which was floating on the water, began to move slowly.
However, it didn't master the posture of moving forward, and its speed was as slow as a snail.
So, Cangnian nimbly swam to Tiger Brother's side, rested his chin on its back, and propelled it to swim to the other side.
Tiger Brother was too heavy compared to Cangnian, so much so that it took Cangnian half a minute to push Tiger Brother to the other side using his evolved paddling skill.
Upon reaching the shore, Tiger Brother instinctively darted ashore, stood up, and vigorously shook the water droplets from his fur.
"Ow~!"
The old man's fur had become relatively dry, and he turned to look at his brother, urging him to catch up.
Upon hearing the sound, Tiger Brother immediately jumped up and down excitedly, keeping up with Cangnian's pace.
……
This departure led to the dead of night.
Ten kilometers is less than half an hour's walk for Cang Nian.
For Tiger Mom, ten kilometers is just a short distance for her to survey her territory before giving birth.
Ten kilometers is a distance that a small sable can easily run by gritting its teeth.
But for Tiger Brother, ten kilometers was a long march through mountains and rivers.
From the time it was born until now, I don't know if it has ever run this far!
Fortunately, its physical abilities were strong enough that it managed to hold on, though it took a long time.
Cang Nian originally thought that the tiger mother would get impatient and simply carry the tiger cub away.
In fact, the tiger mom was intentionally training her younger brother this time, letting him grow up under the pressure of his environment.
Therefore, even if it was slow, Tiger Mom didn't offer any help; she just watched from behind to prevent any fools from running out and hurting Tiger Brother.
Cangnian wasn't in a hurry. While leading the way, he would occasionally climb a tree to practice his climbing skills and improve his ascent proficiency.
Self-discipline is ingrained in my bones!
Exercise should never stop!
Ouch~!
Finally, about two hours after dark, the three tigers and the weasel arrived at their destination. The tiger father smelled the scent and roared loudly.
Ow...
Upon seeing his father, Tiger Brother immediately deflated and collapsed to the ground.
It's exhausted!
However, just as it collapsed to the ground, a fragrance, like an insect, burrowed into its nose!
Immediately, its eyes lit up, and it struggled to get up, following the scent to the brown bear carcass.
Awooo~!
Tiger Brother couldn't wait to start tearing into the flesh of the brown bear and wolfing it down.
It consumed too much energy today!
We need to make up for it!
Seeing her little brother devouring the meat, Tiger Mom smiled with satisfaction.
That’s right!
Practice more and eat more to become stronger!
If you only eat and don't exercise, you'll only grow into a chubby little boy!
Ouch~!
At this moment, Tiger Dad came up to Tiger Mom and rubbed against her, urging Tiger Mom to eat meat quickly too!
Tiger Mom, of course, didn't hold back.
It's perfectly natural for a woman to eat her husband's prey, right?
However, the tiger father, who had already eaten his fill, followed the tiger mother to the brown bear's side, then tore off a strip of meat from it and carried it to the little sable.
Seeing this, the little sable was startled and quickly hid behind Cangnian, only daring to peek out half of its head to observe with its tiny green eyes.
Ouch~!
The tiger dad first put down the meat strip, then let out a howl to indicate that it was for the little sable.
The little sable found this both magical and perplexing.
Why is the Great King treating me so well?
"Is Tiger Dad rewarding Little Sable for providing information?"
Cang Nian, on the other hand, could somewhat guess the intention behind Tiger Dad's actions.
"Ow~!"
So Cangnian turned around and called to the little sable, instructing it to accept the tiger father's gift!
Hearing Cangnian's call, although the tiger father was very intimidating to the little sable, it still awkwardly shuffled out from behind Cangnian and came to the meat strip, looking somewhat bewildered.
The little sable instinctively reached out with its paws to pick up the strip of meat, intending to drag it up a tree to keep it safe, but it tripped and fell over with a thud.
It's too heavy, it can't move it!
This strip of meat is bigger than its body size; it probably weighs three kilograms!
Unfortunately, Tiger Dad's size is too big, and even with careful handling, it's impossible to control the amount of meat strips torn off precisely.
and……
As the king of the jungle, how can he be stingy with his resources?
The gift I gave to Zai Zai's friend was too small. How can it save face?
Unable to sway the tiger dad's sincere gift, the little sable could only stand up from the ground, then put its paws together, sway back and forth, and make a gesture of thanks to express its gratitude.
Zhizhi~!
The Great King's divine might is unparalleled!
The Great King is invincible!
really!
Follow the king, and you'll get to eat meat!
Although the Great King is not very good at hunting now, the Great King is!
If the Great King were to casually hunt any prey, it would be impossible for it, with its small size, to finish eating it in three lifetimes!
The little sable's perception of its role in the team differs from Cangnian's.
Cang Nian treated it as a friend, but it regarded itself as a younger brother.
After all, in a world where the strong prey on the weak, having great power is the absolute truth.
It was already quite content to be Cangnian's little brother; it dared not aspire to be on equal footing with Cangnian, to be an equal friend.
Other small animals, even if they wanted to be the king of the jungle, the tiger's lackeys, weren't qualified yet!
Seeing the little sable thank him, the tiger dad felt quite pleased and nodded in satisfaction.
Who doesn't like to be praised and flattered?
Even when praising someone, it's just a little guy you wouldn't normally notice.
However, this does not diminish the pleasure derived from receiving praise.
After all, even among the most powerful emperors in ancient times, none had a status as prestigious as the emperor. Yet, he was still greatly pleased by the praise of a lowly eunuch.
Ouch~!
However, just as the tiger father was so pleased with the little sable's praise that his tail was practically twirling, the tiger mother's roar came from not far away.
Looking back, the tiger mother had already eaten her fill and was now standing by the brown bear's den with a dark expression.
Immediately, Tiger Dad ran over to Tiger Mom and squatted down like a child who had made a mistake.
Cangnian listened to what the tiger mother's roar was trying to express. It seemed she was scolding the tiger father for staying here for so long without cleaning up the cave. Now, how were the cubs going to sleep tonight?
"It seems that even the most powerful tiger king has to submit to the tigress..."
Cang Nian chuckled to himself.
