After they finished dressing, Xiao Kong’er brought them all into the Tianyi Realm, and she took them to another area that none of them had ever seen before, where Chen Meiyi and the others were already waiting for them.
“Why have I never seen this place before?”
Xiao Huoli told him straight away. “Big Sis Kong’er had sealed this place back then, so I couldn’t bring you here.”
Chen Li raised his eyebrows and looked at the portal in front of him. “Why did you seal this place? And what is behind that portal?”
“This portal connects to a subspace, and you will meet a mythical beast inside, and it can help Hanyue awaken her bloodline.” Xiao Kong’er explained it to him.
Instantly, Chen Li realized the identity of the mythical beast. “Are you kidding me? Is there really a white tiger inside it?”
“Old pervert wasn’t joking with you, Master.” Xiao Hei answered him as she shook her head. “Several thousand years ago, the white tiger fell under the control of an extremely evil cultivator, and he used it to massacre tens of thousands of people. In the end, Emperor Long intervened to stop that guy, but he didn’t have the heart to kill it, so he asked her to create this subspace to imprison it.”
“I see.” Chen Li nodded in understanding. “So the white tiger can help Big Sis Yue awaken her bloodline, right?”
They nodded to him, but Chen Meiyi then said. “Unfortunately, Hanyue can’t meet the white tiger for now.”
“Why is that?” Dongfang Hanyue asked with a frown, for she couldn’t wait to awaken her bloodline. That way, she could become strong enough to help Chen Li, and she could also dual cultivate with him as soon as possible.
Chen Meiyi sighed and told her. “The white tiger is very arrogant, and its pride is really high, so it won’t just bow down to you. If you go to meet it with your current cultivation, then it will devour you without hesitation.”
Chen Li then expressed his idea. “In that case, I will go inside with Big Sis Yue, and I will help her subdue that white tiger using my bloodline.”
“That can’t be done, Little Master.” Xiao Kong’er shook her head in response, and the other spirit women nodded in agreement with her. “Indeed, you can help Hanyue subdue the white tiger, but it will never acknowledge her as its master. To subdue a mythical beast and gain its recognition, one must subdue it with one’s own ability, so we must wait for her cultivation to improve first.”
Chen Li frowned after he heard that, but he could also understand that, especially since his bloodline also caused him to become more arrogant, but he was still able to control his arrogance.
Dongfang Hanyue clenched her fists and said to them. “Guys, I really want to become stronger, so please let me try to meet the white tiger first. Moreover, Sister Kong’er can save me directly if I’m in danger, right?”
“That’s right.”
Xiao Kong’er then asked Chen Li. “What do you think about it, Little Master? Do you want to allow Hanyue to meet the white tiger now?”
Instead, Chen Li asked his lover first. “Are you sure you want to try meeting the white tiger now?”
“Yes.” Dongfang Hanyue replied with a determined nod.
Even so, Chen Li did not immediately agree to Dongfang Hanyue’s wishes, and he thought things over carefully first. But he suddenly remembered one technique he had never used before, the Celestial Concealment Technique. “Sister Kong’er, you can send us inside, but I will not appear before the white tiger, and I will use my techniques to hide my presence and aura from it.”
“Huh?” They were surprised to hear that, and Xiao Huoli told her sisters. “Chen Li has learned the Celestial Concealment Technique before, so the white tiger won’t notice his presence if he uses it, and he can protect Hanyue.”
They nodded in understanding after hearing that, and Xiao Kong’er said to him. “All right, I will send you two into the subspace, and Hanyue can meet the white tiger. However, you must act very carefully and don’t provoke its anger, especially since its movement is very fast.”
“I understand.” Dongfang Hanyue nodded to her.
However, before Xiao Kong’er sent them inside, Chen Li immediately took off his Iron Rhino Vest and Wind Feather Shoes, and he asked Dongfang Hanyue to wear both of them; he did it on purpose in case the white tiger suddenly attacked her.
After Dongfang Hanyue put them both on, Xiao Kong’er immediately sent them into the subspace, but the inside was very spacious and filled with purple lightning that continued to strike.
Chen Li then used his map to find the location of the white tiger, and he immediately pointed in the distance after he managed to find it. “Big Sis Yue! That big kitten is over there now, so you can go there to meet it, but you have to be very careful, especially since its cultivation is very high.”
“En.” Dongfang Hanyue nodded to him and immediately flew towards the white tiger’s location, and Chen Li flew a little distance behind her as he used the Celestial Concealment Technique to hide his presence and aura from it.

“Do you think Yue will be okay?” Dongfang Hanxue asked as she clasped her hands tightly.
However, they all shook their heads at her, and Xiao King’er then said to calm her down. “The white tiger is very strong and agile, but I’m sure that it won’t attack Hanyue directly as long as she doesn’t provoke its anger. Even if it really attacks her, Little Master can definitely protect her, and I can also save her directly.”
“I see.” Dongfang Hanxue nodded in understanding and asked again. “What about Sister Bing’er? Can I go see her now? I really can’t wait to awaken my bloodline; only then can I fight by Little Chen’s side.”
“You won’t be able to withstand the force of gravity in the beast realm, so I won’t take you there, or you will suffer greatly there.” Dongfang Hanxue’s face turned sad after hearing that, but Xiao Kong’er immediately patted her shoulder and told her. “You don’t need to be sad like this. I went to see Old Ice yesterday, but she was still feeling hesitant because of Little Master’s presence, so you just need to wait for her to make up her mind.”
Dongfang Hanxue nodded to her. “All right, I will wait for Sister Bing’er to come here, so I hope she can make a decision soon.”

Sometime later, Dongfang Hanyue arrived at the white tiger’s location, and the big kitten seemed to be fast asleep. Even so, she did not immediately go to meet it, and she observed it from the top of a large tree branch.
After she thought for a long time, Dongfang Hanyue took a deep breath and landed a little far from the white tiger, but it immediately opened its eyes after it noticed her presence, and its golden eyes glared fiercely at her.
However, the white tiger suddenly stood up, opened its mouth wide, and released a loud roar.
*Roar*
Although she was frightened after seeing that, Dongfang Hanyue tried hard to suppress her fear, and she stared at the white tiger seriously.
“What are you doing in this place, human? Did those spirit women send you to subdue me?” The white tiger asked her, but its eyes continued to glare fiercely at Dongfang Hanyue. After all, she has its bloodline in her body, and it can feel her bloodline.
Slowly, Dongfang Hanyue walked in front of the white tiger as she spoke to it. “I am very aware that I will not be able to subdue you with my current strength, so I came here to ask for your help to awaken my bloodline, and I hope you are willing to help me because I have to help my lover face our enemies.”
*Roar*
Once again, the white tiger roared loudly at Dongfang Hanyue, and it immediately rejected her request. “I am the mighty white tiger, and I will never beg or submit to anyone. You have my bloodline, but you do not have my strength and arrogance, so I will not help you to awaken your bloodline.”
“But-”
“If you want me to help you awaken your bloodline, then you have to prove your strength to me. However, you will definitely die in the process, so you better think twice before doing so, for I will never be merciful towards you.” The white tiger interrupted Dongfang Hanyue with a vicious look.
On the other hand, Chen Li felt furious after hearing the white tiger’s words, and his eyes instantly turned golden. However, he immediately suppressed his anger, especially after he remembered Chen Meiyi and the others’ words. ‘Tch! This big kitten is a bastard! If you dare hurt her, I will chop you up and turn you into canned food!’
Dongfang Hanyue fell into deep thought after she listened to the white tiger’s words, for she knew for sure that she would definitely die if she fought with it now, especially since their cultivation difference was too far. However, she also realized that if she backs down now, she will never succeed in getting its recognition.
The white tiger tried to provoke Dongfang Hanyue. “Tch! What a useless human! You are truly a disgrace to my bloodline, and you don’t deserve to have it!”
