Xiao Ming’s heart melted when she saw the cute way that little white tiger was touching her hand, but she quickly calmed herself down.
That was because she could see from the eyes of the little white tiger that there was something that it needed from her.
Based on the look that was in its eyes, it was clear that whatever it was, it was very urgent.
So she gave a nod to the little white tiger and waited to see what it would do.
The little white tiger had a surprised look before suddenly turning around to run off. However, as it was running off, it would look back from time to time to look at Xiao Ming, as if it was seeing if she was following him.
Xiao Ming had hesitated for a second since she had no idea what the little white tiger wanted, but she followed it right after.
And if Xiao Ming was going, that meant that everyone else was going.
Though they had no idea if this was a trap or not, since Xiao Ming was going, they had no choice but to go.
However, there was also a part of them that wanted to help this little white tiger.
They didn’t know what it was, but it did seem like the little white tiger was in distress.
After following the little white tiger for a bit, they arrived at a cave.
The moment that they arrived at this cave, they immediately recognized that something was wrong.
Well, it actually wasn’t hard to notice that something was wrong since there were clear signs indicating this. There were spirit beast corpses that were scattered all over the area around the cave.
There was blood and holes in the ground all over, showing that there had been a fierce fight in this place.
Though they had no idea who had actually been fighting, it was clear that there was something that had been fighting over something.
However, even though there were these signs of fighting, the little white tiger didn’t hesitate at all to run towards the cave. It moved through the various corpses that were on the ground until…
One of the corpses suddenly started to move.
It seemed that this was a spirit beast that wasn’t dead yet.
It was a crane that had suddenly raised its long neck to look at the little white tiger.
The little white tiger froze as it was surprised and scared by what it considered a corpse suddenly raising its head.
That was the opening that the crane needed.
As soon as it saw this little white tiger freeze, it stabbed down with its beak at the little white tiger. The look in its eyes seemed to be filled with hatred, as if there was some kind of grudge between the little white tiger and this crane.
But before it could stab the little white tiger, there was a sword that suddenly came swinging down at the crane’s neck.
This time, Xiao Ming didn’t hesitate in following the little white tiger.
As soon as the crane raised its head, she was already moving forward to catch up to the little white tiger.
So before the crane could stab the little white tiger, her sword cut right through the crane’s neck and severed its head. The head went spinning in the air a few times with a surprised look in the eyes of the crane before dropping to the ground.
The little white tiger was still in a daze after being saved before slowly turning to look at Xiao Ming.
Seeing her stand over it like this with her sword raised would have scared it before, but now…
The little white tiger was still in a daze, but it slowly moved over to Xiao Ming’s side and rubbed its face up against her foot.
Xiao Ming put her sword away before reaching down to pat the little white tiger on its back.

As she did, the little white tiger rubbed its face against her hand as if it was bonding with her.
All of this created a cute scene, but that didn’t last.
When the little white tiger recovered from its shock, it started moving towards the cave again. But this time, it was moving much slower and was carefully observing all of the corpses around it, as if it was scared that the same thing from before would happen again.
Seeing this, Xiao Ming came forward to stop it before reaching her hand out towards it.
The little white tiger looked at her for a bit before slowly getting on her hand to be held by her.
Xiao Ming held the little white tiger in her arms as she started moving towards the cave.
It was definitely faster than how she was moving before, but she was still moving slowly out of caution for the corpses that were around her.
The little white tiger tapped her arm as if it was urging her to go faster which just made her smile, but she did listen to it.
It wasn’t as if she could just rush in without being careful, but it also wasn’t as if she was alone here.
So she looked at the others who had been hanging back and said, “Clear the path for us.”
They all revealed bitter smiles when they heard this, but they still went forward to follow her orders.
The Love Sect disciples were the ones that pulled out their weapons and started checking all of the corpses on the ground to see if they were dead. There were one or two who were still alive from time to time, but it was easy for them to handle these spirit beasts that were already on the verge of death.
Just a single slash or stab would finish them off.
The two who went right in front of Xiao Ming and cleared the way forward for her were naturally Huang Xie and Yu Huang.
The two of them even seemed to compete as they cleared the path in front of them, but that did make them go even faster.
In no time at all, they reached the entrance of the cave and they saw something that was even more shocking than what was outside the cave.
This cave wasn’t that deep, so it ended quite quickly.
Inside of this cave was a large pile of spirit beast corpses that were lying there.
There was even a river of blood that was pouring out of the cave from these spirit beast corpses.
But the little white tiger didn’t care about that.
What it cared about was the large pure white tiger that was lying there behind this pile of spirit beast corpses.
This pure white tiger’s fur was covered in blood and wounds, showing that it was in critical shape. Adding in the fact that it wasn’t moving at all, it was clear that it didn’t seem like this white tiger was still alive.
But the appearance of the white tiger was very similar to the little white tiger.
They were most likely parent and child.
The little white tiger jumped out of Xiao Ming’s hands when it saw the white tiger in this shape and it ran over without any hesitation. After reaching the white tiger’s side, it started nudging the white tiger in a panicked manner, trying to stir it as best as it could.
It didn’t seem like it was working until…
The white tiger suddenly opened its eyes to look at the little white tiger.
The little white tiger was overjoyed as it licked the white tiger’s face, but the white tiger didn’t look that happy.
It was happy to see its child, but it was sad because it knew that it was about to die.
There was no way that it would be able to recover from these wounds, so it knew that death was inevitable. But it was still happy to see that its child had survived.
After licking the little white tiger once, it looked up at Xiao Ming and the rest that were standing at the entrance of the cave.
The white tiger had a certain amount of intelligence and knew that Xiao Ming’s group was the one that saved its child. So the white tiger gave a nod of gratitude towards Xiao Ming’s group before nudging the little white tiger towards them as if it was saying…
“Please take care of my child.”
With its last bit of strength spent on this, the white tiger’s head suddenly dipped and its eyes closed.
The little white tiger panicked once more seeing this and it started nudging the white tiger all over again.
This time, the white tiger didn’t respond.
The little white tiger eventually realized what happened and then it raised its head to give a wail of anguish.
Tears streaked down its eyes and it even seemed like it was about to start coughing out blood with how much it was wailing.
Eventually, it was able to calm down.
It was only then that Xiao Ming came forward to reach out towards the little white tiger.
However, the little white tiger suddenly turned around and bit Xiao Ming’s hand.
Huang Xie and Yu Huang wanted to come forward to help, but Xiao Ming raised her hand to stop them all while still looking at the little white tiger.
The little white tiger clamped its mouth on her hand for a bit before slowly releasing it and looking up at her with a lost look. There was an apologetic look in its eyes as well as it realized what it had done, so it licked the part of her hand that was bleeding after it bit her.
Xiao Ming didn’t mind this as she just looked at the little white tiger and asked, “Do you want to come with me?”
The little white tiger looked up at Xiao Ming before looking back at the white tiger again.
When it turned back, the little white tiger gave a slow nod.
