“Of course, I am a weak and useless woman before the eyes of an old fogey like you.” The muscles on the white tiger’s forehead bulged out upon hearing that, and Dongfang Hanyue hurriedly continued. “You’ve lived for thousands, or tens of thousands of years, so it’s natural that you’re very strong now. As for me, I’m just a twenty-four-year-old girl who was born in the Cultivator Forbidden Land, and I started cultivating two weeks ago.”
“Huh?” The white tiger looked at Dongfang Hanyue in surprise. “Were you really born in the Cultivator Forbidden Land? How could you cultivate there?”
“I didn’t lie to you; I was born in that place, and I was able to become a cultivator because my lover met those spirit women due to an accident.” Dongfang Hanyue replied as she nodded. “Anyway, you must have experienced being in my position before, right? It’s impossible for you to be this strong once you came out of your mother’s womb, and it must have taken you a very long time to become this strong.”
The white tiger’s lips twitched after hearing that, and of course, not a single living creature could become strong once they were born.
Dongfang Hanyue then spoke again. “As for your bloodline, I didn’t know anything about it before, and I also don’t know how I got it, but I was once trapped in an ancient cave.”
“An ancient cave?” The white tiger frowned for a moment. “I once heard from my parents that the ancestors of me and the other mythical beasts left their bloodlines in the Cultivator Forbidden Land, but I never thought his bloodline would choose a weak woman like you.”
“Why do you always look down on me?” Dongfang Hanyue asked with a frown. “Above the sky there is another sky, and you should be aware that there are many other living creatures who are much stronger than you out there. Moreover, you once fell under the control of an evil cultivator, and he used you to slaughter countless humans.”
*Roar*
The white tiger immediately roared angrily after hearing that, especially since that was a very bad experience for it. “I’ll eat you alive if you bring up that matter one more time.”
“Humph!” Dongfang Hanyue snorted at it. “Do you feel that your pride was hurt? Do you only dare to threaten a weak woman like me?”
“How dare you mock me!” The white tiger shouted angrily at her.
However, Dongfang Hanyue seemed unperturbed by its anger, and she looked at the white tiger with a serious look. “I may still be weak now, but I will become very strong if you are willing to help me awaken my bloodline and give me time to train for several years, and I will subdue you with my own abilities in the future.”
“Hmm?” The white tiger didn’t say anything, and its golden eyes continued to glare fiercely at Dongfang Hanyue.
Seeing that, Dongfang Hanyue thought for some time before conveying her idea. “How about we make a deal? I will return in a few years; if I fail, you may eat me, and my lover will not harm you.”
“Humph!” The white tiger taunted her again. “Do you think your human lover can defeat me? No matter how strong you are, you humans will never be able to defeat us, mythical beasts, if you don’t use underhanded methods.”
“Are you sure?”
The white tiger was shocked after seeing Chen Li suddenly appear in their midst, especially since it was unable to sense his presence and aura before, but its nose sniffed towards him. ‘A dragon! Moreover, he is not an ordinary dragon but the five-clawed golden dragon, the leader of mythical beasts.’
Chen Li hugged Dongfang Hanyue’s waist and spoke to the white tiger. “You must be aware of my identity, right? So you must also be aware that I can force you to submit to her, but I will never do that, and I want you to acknowledge her as your master of your own accord.”
“Are you really not going to interfere in our agreement?” The white tiger asked with a look of disbelief.
“Don’t worry, I am a man of my words.” Even so, the white tiger still had doubts about his words, and Chen Li said it again. “Moreover, I can help her become very strong, and I believe that she can make you submit to her with her own abilities.”
“You heard him, right?” Dongfang Hanyue shouted to the white tiger. “Give me a few years, and I will definitely come here again to make you acknowledge me as your master!”
The white tiger did not immediately answer Dongfang Hanyue, for it knew very well that Chen Li could suppress it with his bloodline, even though its cultivation was higher than him. “Five years! I will help you awaken your bloodline, and I will also give you the opportunity to improve yourself over the next five years. However, if you cannot fulfill our agreement, I will eat you alive.”
“In that case, you can help me awaken my bloodline now, and I swear to you that I will fulfill our deal after five years.” Dongfang Hanyue firmly believed that she could become strong very quickly with the help of Chen Li and Xiao Huoli. Besides, the flow of time in the Tianyi Realm is also ten times faster, and there is the Divine Yin-Yang Pagoda plus the Qi Gathering Formation.
The white tiger nodded and shot its lightning qi at Dongfang Hanyue, which immediately entered her body. Soon, her body rose into the air, and a dome of purple lightning immediately enveloped her, which sent her into a deep sleep.
“How long does it take to awaken her bloodline?” Chen Li asked as he looked at Donfang Hanyue. 𝙚𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙤𝙧𝒈
“A month or so, I’ve not only helped her to awaken her bloodline, but I also used my qi to strengthen her body, or else her body wouldn’t be able to accommodate her bloodline anymore.” Chen Li was surprised to hear that, and the white tiger asked him. “How can a human like you have the five-clawed golden dragon bloodline? That bloodline is the highest bloodline among all mythical beasts, and no human should be able to obtain it.”
“I won’t tell you anything for now, and you can find out about it after you acknowledge Big Sis Yue as your master.” Chen Li replied as he shook his head. “Since the process is still long, I will leave this place, and you have to protect her, or I will beat you up.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely look after her and not do anything to her before five years.”
“That’s good.”
After Chen Li disappeared from before it, the white tiger lay down on the ground again as its eyes continued to look at Dongfang Hanyue. “Five years, huh? I was just stalling time for nothing. Since that man has the five-clawed golden dragon, I’m sure this girl won’t need that long to subdue me, especially after her bloodline awakens.”

“How did it go, Little Master? Why didn’t you bring Hanyue out with you?” Xiao Kong’er immediately asked as soon as Chen Li appeared before them.
Chen Li smiled and told them. “Currently, Big Sis Yue is in the process of awakening her bloodline, so-”
“Huh?” The spirit women gasps in shock after hearing that, and Xiao Hei asks him. “Aren’t you joking with us, Master? Are you helping Hanyue subdue that big cat?”
“No, I didn’t do anything, and I just accompanied her to talk to that big cat.” Chen Li answered by shaking his head. “Big Sis Yue did everything by herself, and she made a five-year agreement with it.”
“What is their five-year agreement, Little Chen?” Dongfang Hanxue worriedly asked him.
“Their agreement was that the big cat helped Big Sis Yue awaken her bloodline and gave her a chance to train for five years, and she would make it acknowledge her as its master five years later.” Chen Li then took Dongfang Hanxue’s hands and held them. “However, you don’t need to worry about her; all of us can help her become strong quickly, especially since we have many advantages in this Tianyi Realm.”
“That’s true.” Xiao Kong’er replied as she nodded. “After all, that big cat doesn’t know about the flow of time in this place, and we have a saint-rank alchemist by our side, plus little master Yang Qi is of great benefit to Hanyue.”
Hearing that, Dongfang Hanxue became gloomy, especially since she couldn’t awaken her bloodline yet, and she still had to wait for Feng Bing’er to make up her mind first.
Chen Li was naturally aware of Dongfang Hanxue’s feelings, even more so after he saw her expression like that, and he immediately led her to the Divine Yin-Yang Pagoda. “Even though we can’t dual cultivate yet, you can still get stronger quickly if you keep swallowing my Yang Qi, so we’ll spend a few days together in the pagoda, and I’ll give you lots of Yang Qi over the next few days.”
Hearing that, Dongfang Hanxue’s icy face instantly turned red, especially since she would be doing intimate things with Chen Li over the next few days, but she was also looking forward to it.
“That Hanxue sure is impatient, but Old Ice is still stubborn.” Xiao Kong’er said as she shook her head. “You guys can go back, and I will stay here to watch over that big cat and Hanyue.”
