191: Free food and drinks

Lin Hu had a feeling that Young Master Baihu was specifically targeting him.

More precisely, he was after the heated tiger stripes on his body.

What exactly was this thing?

Lin Hu studied it for a long time but couldn't understand it; this thing could only generate heat, and currently, no other function was apparent.

Although its true nature wasn't clear, it was certainly very important.

The Yao Race considered Bloodline extremely important because Bloodline represented the speed of Cultivation.

There were even evil Cultivators who would slaughter living beings just to research methods to enhance Bloodline.

“Oh dear, am I really so unlucky, encountering something like this as soon as I step out?”

A tonic!

“Little Green Snake, where is Young Master Baihu now?”

Lin Hu asked in a low voice.

The Little Green Snake flicked its tongue: “Boss, they are already on their way. Do you have a way to deal with them?”

The Little Green Snake was a little confused, seeing that Lin Hu didn't seem to plan on escaping.

Could Boss really be someone from that Bai family?

Boss's surname is Lin, isn't it?

Lin Hu didn't notice the Little Green Snake's gradually relaxing body; if he had known about this misunderstanding, he would have cried foul.

Was it that he didn't want to run?

There were traps everywhere here; how could he run? Only the Little Green Snake, with its lower strength, couldn't see them.

That's not right.

“Little Green Snake, how do you manage to come and go as you please? You're in prison, yet you can still safely gather information?”

“Boss, I don't know either. Maybe it's because I'm too small, and people don't notice me?”

Lin Hu narrowed his golden tiger eyes, carefully observing the Little Green Snake.

This small snake was only as thick as a thumb, entirely green, and indeed not very conspicuous in the dim cell.

But his intuition told him that things weren't that simple.

“Little Green Snake, tell me honestly,”

Lin Hu lowered his voice, “do you have some special Divine Ability?”

The Little Green Snake's tongue flickered uneasily: “Boss... I...”

“Stop hedging!”

Lin Hu gently poked the Little Green Snake's head with the tip of his tail, “What time is it now? If you have any trump cards, show them quickly!”

The Little Green Snake hesitated for a moment, then finally whispered: “Actually... I seem to be able to make people ignore my existence...”

“What do you mean?”

Lin Hu became interested.

“It means... as long as I don't speak first, others will subconsciously ignore me.”

The Little Green Snake explained, “Just like a blade of grass in the corner, no one will pay special attention...”

Lin Hu's eyes lit up: “Isn't that an invisibility spell?”

“Not quite the same...”

The Little Green Snake wiggled its body, “An invisibility spell makes you unseen, but with mine... people can see me, they just won't care.”

Lin Hu nodded thoughtfully.

“Then it's an aura concealment technique!”

No wonder the Little Green Snake could come and go freely in this heavily guarded dungeon; it turned out to have this innate Divine Ability.

“How long has this ability of yours lasted?”

“I, I don't know either.”

The Little Green Snake was a weakling; its favorite things to do were waiting for opportunities and gathering information.

When it was quiet, it could stay motionless in one spot for ten days or more without a problem.

Perhaps it was an inherent skill developed through practice?

“You...”

Just as Lin Hu was about to say something more, a strange burning sensation suddenly came from the tiger stripes on his chest again.

This time, he clearly felt something awakening within the tiger stripes.

“Boss, your tiger stripes...”

The Little Green Snake looked in surprise at the increasingly bright golden light on Lin Hu's chest.

Lin Hu looked down and saw the tiger stripes changing at a visible speed; the originally simple lines gradually became more complex, finally forming a complete 'King' character pattern.

Straight and upright, very precise.

But!

“What the heck...”

Lin Hu cursed, baring his fangs, “What kind of tiger carves the 'King' character on its chest? Isn't it supposed to be on the forehead?”

The Little Green Snake tilted its head, its emerald snake eyes blinking, not daring to say anything.

It quietly reduced its sense of presence.

***

Just then, footsteps outside the stone door grew closer.

Lin Hu immediately became alert: “Little Green Snake, hide quickly!”

As soon as his voice fell, the stone door was violently pushed open from outside, and the Envoy of Blood Moon entered with a team of people.

Leading them was the silver-haired, golden-eyed Young Master Baihu, whose 'King' character tattoo on his forehead glowed brightly in the dim cell.

Lin Hu felt a pang of distortion looking at it.

Now that's the real deal!

“Is he the one impersonating my White Tiger Clan?”

Young Master Baihu spoke coldly, his gaze sweeping over Lin Hu like a knife.

The Envoy of Blood Moon sneered: “Young Master Bai, how should this impostor be dealt with? Perhaps we should just...”

“Shut up!”

Young Master Baihu suddenly roared, startling the Envoy of Blood Moon.

He quickly walked in front of Lin Hu, staring intently at the 'King' character tattoo: “These tiger stripes... where did you get them?”

Lin Hu's eyes darted, and he bared his stark white fangs in a grin: “Guess? If you guess correctly, I'll tell you.”

Young Master Baihu's expression became extremely complex; he reached out to touch the tiger stripes, but Lin Hu swatted his paw away: “Keep your hands to yourself!”

A male tiger, still daring to be so presumptuous.

“Presumptuous!”

The Envoy of Blood Moon angrily shouted, about to step forward, but was stopped by Young Master Baihu.

“All of you, get out.”

Young Master Baihu said in a deep voice, “I want to talk to him alone.”

After everyone reluctantly exited the cell, Young Master Baihu suddenly knelt on one knee: “Greetings, Holy Lord!”

Lin Hu: “???”

The Little Green Snake peeked an eye out from a crack in the wall, understanding now.

Big Brother was acting so well just now.

So what he said was true, no wonder he was so calm.

Young Master Baihu excitedly explained: “Three hundred years ago, Old Ancestor predicted that when the tiger stripes choose their master, that would be the day the White Tiger Clan would regain its glory! The 'King' character on your chest is the symbol of our clan's sacred object choosing its master!”

Lin Hu looked down at the golden stripes on his chest, then looked up at Young Master Baihu kneeling on the ground, and suddenly grinned: “Interesting... so I'm your Boss now?”

Young Master Baihu devoutly nodded: “Precisely!”

“Alright then,”

Lin Hu pointed to the cell door with his paw, “First, open the door for me.”

Young Master Baihu, without a word, shattered the Restriction on the cell door with a palm strike.

The Envoy of Blood Moon outside, hearing the commotion, rushed in and was stunned to see this scene: “Young Master Bai, you are...”

Young Master Baihu said coldly: “From today onwards, this one is the new Holy Lord of my White Tiger Clan. Anyone who dares to harm him is an enemy of my White Tiger Clan!”

The Envoy of Blood Moon's face instantly turned pale: “But... but what about Lord Blood Moon's side...”

“Scram!”

Young Master Baihu let out a tiger's roar, shaking the entire dungeon.

Lin Hu swaggered out of the cell door, then suddenly remembered something and turned to shout at the Little Green Snake and the Rat Spirit in the wall crack.

“What are you still standing there for? Let's go!”

Only then did the Little Green Snake and the Rat Spirit awaken as if from a dream, quickly following behind Lin Hu.

Young Master Baihu saw the Little Green Snake, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: “These two are...”
