The sudden arrival of the three individuals in Jun Haotian's home were all professional assassins. Jun Haotian swiftly dispatched one of them unexpectedly, a combination of strength and luck. Despite being a Space-Time Dual-Attribute Anomalous with awakened bloodlines, Jun Haotian still lacked combat experience.
Easily deceived, he fell into their trap, completely letting his guard down, and now lies with a sword through his heart, in a pool of blood.
"Who allowed you to kill him?" one assassin interrogated the other.
"I didn't intend to kill him, but he brought it upon himself. Why did you kill the third one?"
The two assassins were engrossed in their conversation, failing to notice a significant change: the small pet Qiuqiu, once snow-white and petite, had undergone a drastic transformation. Bathed in Jun Haotian's blood, Qiuqiu grew rapidly, its eyes gleaming with a murderous aura.
In a blink of an eye, Qiuqiu had transformed into a massive beast. Its still translucent white body now bore patterns of blue and silver light, most eerie of all, it sprouted wings on its back. Shaking its head continuously, it appeared to be a formidable tiger, but with an added touch of the uncanny.
Heavy panting drew closer to the two assassins, their senses keen, immediately sensing danger. They turned into shadows and fled in different directions.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
A mighty roar echoed, signaling the arrival of a giant tiger. Whether it's a dragon soaring through clouds or a tiger leaping through the wind, your speed cannot surpass this white tiger. Wings spread, eyes ablaze with bloodlust, Qiuqiu lunged forward. Its powerful paw struck one assassin's back ruthlessly, instantly turning him into a pulp.
In another instant, it was behind the other assassin, jaws wide open, swallowing him whole with a loud crunch. After the crunching sounds faded, a living person had been devoured by Qiuqiu, becoming its dinner.
Even so, Qiuqiu seemed unappeased, continuously striking the two bodies lying on the ground with its massive paw, as if with a desire to obliterate them entirely.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Qiuqiu's strength finally dwindled. Its colossal body began to shrink slowly, reverting back to its chibi teacup dog form. With sadness in its heart, Qiuqiu approached Jun Haotian, jumping onto his face, licking him incessantly, emitting mournful whimpers, attempting to rouse him.
Licking ceaselessly, lamenting with sobs, until it exhausted itself and collapsed on Jun Haotian's cheek. A tear rolled down from Qiuqiu's eye, cool and blue.
By the seaside, in the shantytown, Yun Tianyi stood in a white Daoist robe under the setting sun, manipulating a compass, looking incredulously at the sky. "White Tiger, one of the Four Holy Beasts is the White Tiger. I wonder what good deeds Haotian kid did in his past life to make the White Tiger acknowledge him."
Pausing, Yun Tianyi's expression suddenly turned peculiar. "Legend has it that White Tigers are female, they wouldn't, they wouldn't..." Hesitating for a while, Yun Tianyi continued, "It shouldn't involve interspecies romance! Haotian kid wouldn't have such peculiar tastes!"
