My Fierce Tigress Wife Chapter 116 - The Hole’s Been Dug, I’m Ready to Bury a Tiger in It

Chapter 116: The Hole’s Been Dug, I’m Ready to Bury a Tiger in It

Thoughts ran through his mind swiftly, and a shrewd glint seemed to flash across his eyes.
Roar~!
“Wait here. I’ll call Big Brother right away and show him just how lacking in awareness you are.”
As Wang Shan spoke, he took off the cell phone hanging around his neck.
Old Second found his brother’s actions rather strange. From the looks of it, could it be that Old Third could get in touch with Big Brother right away? At once, he panicked and asked about it.
Roar~!
“What does ‘call’ mean, Third Brother? Are you able to contact Big Brother right away?”
Ever since his breakthrough to the Transformation Realm, he had come to understand a lot of things. He also gained a lot of information in his mind, including communicating with others via telepathy.
However, as he had never made any contact with China, he naturally didn’t know what giving someone a phone call meant.
Wang Shan, who didn’t think of hiding anything from him either, replied at once.
Roar~!
“This is a cell phone from China. It can instantly get in contact with Big Brother. With Big Brother’s capabilities, he’ll get here in no time.”
Upon confirming that Old Third wasn’t lying, Old Second panicked even further. He didn’t dare to face his eldest brother at all. At once, he hastily spoke up and stopped Old Third.
Roar~!
“Wait, Third Brother. Listen to what I have to say first.”
Wang Shan’s actions paused. After a moment’s thought, he nevertheless couldn’t help but look at Old Second curiously. He wanted to hear what his brother had to say.
At the sight, Old Second didn’t dare to dally any further, and he spoke with sincerity.
Roar~!
“Think about it properly, Third Brother. Are you really willing to still stay by Big Brother’s side?
“He’s been bullying us since we were young. Not only did he snatch our food, but he even beat us up. He’s a completely unreasonable jerk that just loves to bully us. How could living with him possibly be as carefree and unrestrained as living by ourselves?
“That’s why Second Brother has been living here by himself instead of looking for Big Brother after his breakthrough. Third Brother, you should understand how I feel, right?
“Also, Second Brother really didn’t expect you to actually look for Big Brother again, Third Brother. Isn’t living by yourself great?”
His words took Wang Shan by surprise. It seemed like Old Second’s words surprisingly made some sense.
Old Second could tell with just a glance that Old Third had already become somewhat tempted, and he immediately followed up.
Roar~!
“Why did you go to Big Brother, Old Third? Do you want him to beat you up again?
“Now that you’re already out and Big Brother isn’t here, you might as well not return ever again. The two of us brothers can be neighbors. Our lives will definitely be happier than before.
“Think about it properly, Old Third. After you return, Big Brother will definitely be quick to beat you up for some reason or none. He’ll even make you work all the time. That’s no life for a tiger to lead at all. You absolutely mustn’t go back anymore.”
He looked as though he was worried about Wang Shan and completely had his brother’s well-being at heart as he spoke.
Wang Shan had a huge frown on his face. He had indeed become somewhat tempted.
If he were to leave Big Brother and Sister-in-law…
Suddenly, he shook his head hard.
How could he think of it that way? Even though Big Brother was unreasonable and loved to beat him up all the time—which was as painful as hell, Big Brother had taught him the cultivation method, gave him good food, and was even leading and working hard for all the tigers. How could he leave?
Besides, where was he supposed to find dinosaur meat for sustenance after he left? On top of that, it was even such delicious purified dinosaur meat!
I must never leave Big Brother and Sister-in-law. He thought to himself. Now that he was unhappy, he let out a dissatisfied roar.
Roar~!
“Hmph. You’re too much, Old Second. Have you forgotten that it was Big Brother that had taught you the cultivation method and brought you into the dinosaur world to groom you?
“Besides, the reason why you’re able to cultivate and live here so peacefully is because Big Brother is standing at the forefront and shouldering all the responsibility. Otherwise, do you think you can even live such a carefree and unrestrained life?
“You really have no self-awareness. All you know is how to live by yourself. You have no sense of duty and responsibility at all. You’re not worthy of being part of the tigers.”
Old Second’s gaze flickered somewhat. However, he wouldn’t go to Wang Hu even if this brother had taught him the cultivation method and groomed him.
As for the parts after that, he didn’t quite understand. What kind of responsibilities was Big Brother shouldering?
Self-awareness?
Sense of duty and responsibility?
The tigers?
When did Old Third become such a stranger?
He couldn’t understand what Wang Shan was saying. Everything sounded like a chaotic mess to him.
Roar~!
“What are you saying, Old Third?
Upon seeing that Old Second didn’t understand what he was saying, a sense of superiority came over Wang Shan. As expected, Old Second wasn’t worthy of taking the second position at all.
Not only was he completely unaware of anything, but he didn’t even have any self-awareness that he should be contributing to the tigers and working for Big Brother. He wasn’t a good, honorable man of the tigers at all.
He wasn’t worthy of taking the second position at all. Wang Shan was the only one who was worthy of that.
No, he had to inform Big Brother right away and show him just how intolerable of a tiger Old Second was. He should give the position of second in line to his third brother.
He immediately dialed Wang Hu’s number the moment the thought occurred to him.
At the sight, Old Second knew at once that things were going to go awry. Who knew how badly Big Brother would beat him up once Big Brother caught him and dragged him back?
He glanced again at Old Third’s obviously more muscular physique and mentally cursed: That foolish Old Third. Then, he made a run for it right away.
He had to immediately leave this place and go elsewhere.
At the sight, Wang Shan hung the cell phone around his neck again and chased after his brother.
It was at this point that the phone call connected as well.
“Big Brother, I’ve met Old Second. Even though he’s already broken through to the Transformation Realm a long time ago, he didn’t go to you. On top of that, he even…”
Now that he had the cell phone, Wang Shan—who had already become fluent in Mandarin a long time ago—spoke quickly in Mandarin. He pretty much repeated word-for-word everything that Old Second had said. On top of that, he even added a bunch of his own opinions: such as how Old Second didn’t have any self-awareness or sense of duty and responsibility; he wasn’t worthy of being part of the tigers; neither was he worthy of taking the second position; and so on.
Wang Shan followed closely after Old Second as he spoke, not intending to let Old Second shake him off at all.
At the front, Old Second was angry and anxious. Although he didn’t understand Mandarin, he could still guess what Old Third was saying. Old Third, that scoundrel, really had managed to get into contact with Big Brother.
It was very likely that Big Brother was coming over very soon.
Should Big Brother really capture him… the thought alone was enough to make him jump and shudder all over. All the Blood Qi within him erupted explosively, and he fled desperately.
Hundreds of kilometers away, Wang Hu had originally been in the midst of circulating his energy and recovering from his injuries.
After the last few days, he had already recovered from almost all the injuries that he had dealt on himself. He was just pretending in front of Silly Girl that he had only recovered from about half the injuries.
Suddenly, the phone rang. Wang Hu fished out a cell phone from his chest.
Since he had already transformed into his Dao form, he naturally didn’t use such a huge cell phone anymore. Both Silly Girl and he had already switched to a small and dainty cell phone like the one he was currently using.
They had money anyway. They just needed to casually order it, and it would arrive right in the mail. It wasn’t a big deal at all.
The moment he picked up the call, Old Third’s somewhat urgent and hurried voice reached him. He cocked an eyebrow and listened carefully.
Gradually, his eyes narrowed into slits, and a hint of an icy smile flashed across his countenance.
Not bad huh, Old Second. As expected of someone who has been clever since he was a child…
You’ve become even cleverer after you’ve developed human intelligence, so much so that you won’t even look for Big Brother anymore.
On top of that, you even keep Big Brother’s love and care for you so firmly etched in your mind.
How wonderful…
“Just follow him for now, Old Third. You don’t need to attack. Big Brother will arrive shortly.” Wang Hu immediately hung up after giving his reply. Then, he checked Wang Shan’s cell phone’s location.
After a moment’s thought, he went over to Silly Girl who was also in the midst of circulating her energy and recuperating. Joy came over his features, and he said, “Baijun, Old Third just called me to inform me that he’s found Old Second who has also broken through to the Transformation Realm. He’s asking me to go over.
“Wait for me at home for a while. I’ll go over and bring Old Second back now.”
Di Baijun smiled and nodded when she heard what he said. Suddenly, she asked, “Should we prepare something to welcome Old Second back when he arrives?”
A heartwarming feeling came over Wang Hu. The fact that the harebrained Silly Girl could bring herself to say something like that was enough to show that she had truly come to see him as her husband.
It was only because Old Second was his biological younger brother that she would even suggest that.
He smiled and went forward to give that soft and fragrant body a gentle hug. Amidst her coquettish protests, he said gently, “You’re the best, Baijun.”
Di Baijun hastily pushed him away and glanced around her. That jerk didn’t know any shame even in broad daylight in the open. He was totally pushing his luck.
Wang Hu didn’t mind either. He simply loved seeing Silly Girl’s bashful mannerisms. With a wave, he said, “You don’t need to go to the trouble of doing that. It’s not the first time the two of you are meeting each other anyway. I remember that the two of you have already met each other quite a few times.”
Di Baijun was a little surprised. They had already met quite a few times?!
She really wouldn’t know. After all, how would she have possibly concerned herself with that in the past?
As though nothing had happened, Wang Hu smiled and said, “You’ve already met him when I was bringing them into the dinosaur world. Additionally, when you told me to bring the ten tigers over and acquire a little of their blood back then, Old Second and Old Third were also among them. By the way…”
As he spoke, he gave Silly Girl a sweet smile and said while gazing at her, “Do you still remember the first time we met, Baijun? You could even say that I was a hero saving a damsel in distress.”
Di Baijun blushed. She couldn’t help but reach out and give the jerk a smack. What did he mean by ‘a hero saving a damsel in distress’? When he had saved h-her…?
Suddenly, she thought of a video clip that she had seen from a Chinese television show a few days ago.
‘Let go of that girl and face me instead.’
As she thought about it, she couldn’t help but become somewhat embarrassed and miffed. Hmph, that jerk had really benefited too much.
And that tiger from back then, too. I definitely won’t let him off if I see him again.
Then, she heard the jerk say with a laugh: “The bully whom I had punished when I was saving the damsel in distress is none other than Old Second.”
Her embarrassment and fit of pique froze for a moment, and she blinked and looked at the jerk.
That tiger from back then was none other than Old Second!
The moment Wang Hu saw her reaction, his expression turned slightly grave and serious. He reached out and held Silly Girl’s hand as he said seriously, “I know that you definitely have a bone to pick with that tiger—in other words, Old Second—from back then, Baijun.
“This is very normal. However, he hadn’t developed human intelligence at that time yet and had only been acting according to his instincts. The fault doesn’t lie completely with him. Right?”
Di Baijun turned away at once, and her lips formed a small pout—obviously, she was silently saying ‘I’m not happy’.
Wang Hu went forward and embraced her gently from the back. He didn’t concern himself with her nominal struggling but said gently, “To tell you the truth, Baijun, even I am still angry about it.
“That fellow, Old Second, has always been a smart*ss since he was young. Not only did he bully Old Third, but he even became a lecher after he grew up. This is a dereliction of duty on my part for not teaching him well.
“Thus, this time, I’ve already made up my mind that I’ll strictly and severely educate him for sure after bringing him back here. If he’s disobedient, then I’ll beat him up. I definitely won’t be softhearted this time. We’ll beat him up together.
“Additionally, since Old Second had actually dared to displease my Baijun, then we’ll set a rule. No matter whether he made any mistake or not, we’ll beat him up once every five days. How does that sound?”
Di Baijun couldn’t help but smile somewhat. She kept her gaze focused on another direction as she asked, “Really?”
“Of course.” Wang Hu sounded extremely affirmative. His voice became even more sickly-sweet as he said, “Even though Old Second’s my biological younger brother, you’re the most important person to me now. Since he’s displeased you, then he ought to be beaten up.”
Di Baijun felt her face burning up, and she struggled hard and got out of Wang Hu’s arms. As she turned away and calmed herself down, she also became rather embarrassed. She said, “Is it kinda bad if we beat him up once every five days? I think we’d better just let it pass. I shall be magnanimous and forgive him.”
“No, that won’t do.” Wang Hu rejected the idea forcefully. He said seriously. “No one is allowed to get away scot-free after making Baijun unhappy, even my biological younger brother. I’ve even already thought of an excuse—we’ll just say that we’re giving him tips on practical combat.
“Besides, it’s also a chance to improve his combat power. Therefore, you don’t need to feel any psychological burden, Baijun. Rest assured and attack him all you want when the time comes. It’ll be fine as long as you don’t kill him.”
His incredibly firm and resolute voice delighted Di Baijun. Although the jerk had gotten off lightly, the outcome wasn’t too bad.
Despite trying hard to suppress her delight, her countenance was nonetheless filled with cheerfulness.
At the sight, Wang Hu went forward and hugged her again. Then, he gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead. Before Silly Girl became embarrassed and miffed again, he took a step back and said, “In that case, you can wait here for the time being, Baijun. I’ll be back in a jiffy.”
Then, he transformed into a golden streak of light and shot into the distance.
The embarrassment and chagrin that had only just risen up in Di Baijun immediately disappeared, and she peeked guiltily around her. No one managed to see the happy smile forming on her peerlessly beautiful visage.
It was just that… she looked just a bit silly doing it.
…
Elsewhere, Wang Hu activated Extreme Agility Time’s doubled speed and hurried over to where Old Second and Old Third were.
The hole[1] had already been dug. He would go over and capture Old Second right away, toss him into the hole, and bury him within.
That scoundrel can’t even compare to Old Third. If I don’t educate you properly, I won’t call myself your Big Brother anymore.
In the forest, Old Third pursued Old Second relentlessly without showing even any hint of giving up.
After a very long pursuit, Old Second couldn’t take it anymore. Old Third was even faster than him. Despite his familiarity with the terrain, the other party had that cell phone or whatever it was called. He couldn’t shake him off.
He gritted his teeth and let out a sincere roar.
Roar~!
“Let Second Brother off this time, Third Brother. Second Brother just wants to live alone and doesn’t want to go to Big Brother. Can’t you fulfill Second Brother’s wishes?”
Roar~!
“No, I have to teach you a good lesson,” roared Wang Shan loudly and determinedly. During this brief period, the more he thought about it, the more amiss the situation had seemed to him.
Old Second’s actions were too much. He should be taught a good lesson and relinquish his second-in-line position to his third brother.
Old Second felt rather helpless and resigned. Old Third had always had a one-track mind ever since they were young. Little did he think that this brother would still be the same even after he had developed human intelligence.
Judging from this, it looked like there was no convincing his brother with words anymore. No, he absolutely mustn’t allow himself to be captured by Big Brother.
Roar~!
“Old Third, take it that Second Brother is begging you. How about this? Second Brother will give you the position of Old Second. You’ve already informed Big Brother anyway. It doesn’t really matter even if you stop your pursuit now.”
Wang Shan’s eyes lit up.
Roar~!
“That’s something you said of your own will, Old Second. You willingly said that you’ll give me the position of Old Second.”
Roar~!
“Yes, I was the one that said it. I’ll give it to you, so hurry and stop chasing after me,” said Old Second without any hesitation.
Wang Shan was overjoyed. He was Old Second now.
After running for another half a minute, Old Second couldn’t help but become flustered and exasperated.
Roar~!
“Why are you still chasing after me?”
Unaffected in the least, Wang Shan let out a justified roar.
Roar~!
“Old Third, I agreed that I’ll be Old Second. I didn’t agree that I wouldn’t chase after you.”
An urge to stop running and turn around to fight Wang Shan to the death came over Old Second.
Old Third had actually tricked him.
He gritted his teeth, though he didn’t fight Old Third.
Roar~!
“Hmph, if you continue to chase after me, I won’t give you the position of Old Second anymore. You’ll still be Old Third while I’m Old Second,” said Old Second furiously.
Wang Shan was just about to reply when a cold, aloof, and familiar-sounding voice suddenly rang out.
“Old Second, do you really wish to avoid Big Brother that much?”
[1] The literal meaning of the term used here is ‘hole’. Figuratively, it can also refer to a trap that someone sets up.
