My Fierce Tigress Wife

Chapter 158: Battling Silly Girl

Three months later—

Wang Hu was in the midst of cultivating when he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Silly Girl next to him.

An aura suddenly emanated from Silly Girl who was circulating her energy.

As though a feeling of reunion after being repressed for a very long time and finally fully recovering, it was a thriving aura that the owner simply had to get off their chest.

In a mere instant, Wang Hu’s expression turned into one of immense joy and anticipation.

This was… Silly Girl had recovered!

He couldn’t help but swallow, his throat somewhat dry. She must be close to fully recovering.

More than six months ago, Silly Girl had said that she still needed more than half a year to recover.

With these six-odd months and the nourishment from over 30 Divine Body Realm-level Gui carcasses and some Spirit Stones, the timing was just right if she were to recover at this point.

As he thought about it, his eyes gave off a dazzling glow all at once.

Silly Girl was about to recover!

She was finally going to recover!

He took a deep breath and tried to slowly calm his agitation.

Even so, his eyes couldn’t help but twinkle as he watched Silly Girl closely.

Silly Girl was about to recover. Everything else aside, this was a great cause for joy in itself. He also wouldn’t need to feel so awful anymore.

This was what mattered the most.

He swore that there was only pure elation in him at the moment and that he wasn’t harboring any other unnecessary thoughts.

However, after a while, as he gazed at Silly Girl’s stunning countenance that he would never get tired of—no matter how much he stared at her; other thoughts couldn’t help but form in his mind.

I can finally…

He grinned. Then, he hastily stopped himself and fiercely reprimanded himself.

Wang Hu, oh, Wang Hu. How can you do that?

Silly Girl has only just recovered.

Do you have a conscience?

To think you’re actually thinking of something like that at this moment? That’s your wife, the wife that bore two little fellows for you. They’re yours, not anyone else’s.

You’re so goddamn heartless. You should go to hell.

You’re so inhumane. You’re a scumbag of a tiger.

He secretly gave himself a fierce scolding and tried to calm his undesirable thoughts.

Silly Girl has only just recovered. She’s only just recovered.

Don’t overthink it. You shouldn’t overthink it.

Besides, she isn’t prepared for it yet. Given her personality, she’ll probably find it hard to accept for the time being. I must take it slow. I must look at it from a long-term perspective.

I must think of a foolproof plan. First, I’ll slowly eat away at Silly Girl’s defenses. Then, I’ll create the most romantic setting at the most suitable timing and thoroughly take her down in one go.

First, I’ll do this… then, I’ll do that…

Before he knew it, his thoughts had drifted to that aspect again.

Every once in a while, a hint of an anticipative smile would even surface uncontrollably.

By the time he realized that his thoughts had drifted to that aspect again, his conscience would act up, and he would reprimand himself fiercely again before reflecting upon his actions.

Then, he realized that he couldn’t do anything about it anymore.

The thoughts were really beyond his control; they simply kept drifting to that part.

He also sincerely realized that this wasn’t entirely his fault.

Silly Girl had already been injured for so long, and they’ve been interacting with each other every day as though everything was fine. Over time, he had already instinctively become accustomed to it. Thus, the pure joy from her recovery naturally didn’t last that long.

The fact that he even had a moment of pure joy untainted by any other thoughts was already very, very conscientious of him.

Also, it was because Silly Girl was simply too beautiful.

He had stayed day and night with such a beautiful wife for so long… yet was unable to touch her and could only resist the urge—how many men could tolerate something like that?

As for those last few bright ideas in his mind, Wang Hu selectively ignored them.

Boom!

Just as he was finding excuses for himself, a mighty aura suddenly erupted with a boom, like a volcano that had been building up momentum for millions of years.

Shocked, Wang Hu’s eyes widened, and he hastily released his divine power to protect the mountain.

In spite of that, a light tremor nevertheless went through the mountain, shocking the animals.

Wang Hu immediately transmitted a telepathic message to the others, informing them that everything was fine. Then, a speechless Wang Hu turned to Silly Girl.

By this point, Di Baijun also realized that she had almost destroyed her home because she was overly delighted.

She hastily reined in her vibrant, vigorous, and exceptionally restless momentum that had fully recovered.

She opened her eyes. Then, her incomparably beautiful countenance that glowed with health and vigor turned toward Wang Hu.

“Wang Hu, I’ve recovered.”

She spoke incredibly seriously with a look of excitement on her face that glowed with health and vigor.

A mildly sheepish look came over Wang Hu’s eyes. He didn’t quite understand what she was saying…

As he wondered about it, he smiled and said with a sincere look on his face, “Yes, you’ve finally recovered, Baijun. That’s wonderful.”

With a great sense of heroism, Di Baijun waved and said domineeringly, “Hmph. Let’s not bother saying such pointless things anymore. Fight with me instead.”

Wang Hu blinked. He gazed at Silly Girl, who was all revved up and whose countenance and mental state had all been refreshed, and smiled.

Indeed, this was exactly something that Silly Girl would do.

In that case, he would fulfill her wishes.

“Okay.” He agreed to it right away.

Di Baijun’s eyes were all curved. It was as though they had become even brighter now. Without saying any other superfluous things, she transformed into a streak of white light that shot out of the cave.

A smiling Wang Hu shook his head with a fairly doting and indulgent look on his face. Then, golden light followed closely after her.

In the blink of an eye, two streaks of light exited the Tiger King’s Cave one after the other and charged into the dinosaur world.

As though chasing each other, the two streaks of light stayed close to each other all the way until they reached an area above the sea.

Only then did they come to a stop and transform back into Di Baijun and Wang Hu.

“Come on. Today, I’ll definitely beat you up so badly that your head becomes as swollen as a pig’s,” declared Di Baijun aggressively as though she had accumulated a great deal of resentment against Wang Hu and was intending to let it erupt all at once in this instant.

As Wang Hu listened to Silly Girl utter phrases that she must have learned from the Internet again, he simply found her so adorable.

He nodded with a smile as though inviting her to come at him.

Di Baijun’s delicate brows drew together the moment she saw his reaction. That rascal didn’t look like he was taking it seriously at all. It was just like… just like how he behaved when he played with Big Treasure and Little Treasure.

The moment the thought occurred to her, her resentment grew even stronger.

She couldn’t help but recall all the little things and shameless deeds that the rascal had done while taking advantage of the fact she couldn’t put up any resistance after her vitality had taken a huge hit.

Instantly, she felt as if she had gained even more strength all over her.

“Hmph.”

She said no more after letting out a cold snort. Then, with a wave of her delicate hand, as though flowing fabric, endless streams of white light converged to form a gigantic sword-shaped light.

One could even vaguely hear the roar of a tiger coming from it.

On top of that, it also gave off a sharp, boundless, and peerless aura. It was as if even the dimension itself was emitting sounds of being slashed apart. It was none other than the White Tiger Battle Art.

The White Tiger Battle Art that Wang Hu had used in the past was nothing compared to it.

Di Baijun pushed her delicate palm forward. At once, the gigantic sword-shaped light cut across the sky and shot toward Wang Hu.

Roar~!

An earth-shattering tiger roar exploded like a thunderclap, and light that seemingly wanted to sunder the mountains and divide the oceans… cleaved downward.

Its razor-sharp aura was such that even Wang Hu felt that he mustn’t come into contact with it.

This was the secret that made White Tiger Battle Art so powerful. It wasn’t just a simple strength multiplier; it also possessed other powerful characteristics such as this exact sharpness that seemed capable of severing everything in the world.

Equally strong powers would naturally be routed once they encountered that accompanying sharpness in the same amount of opposing force.

As he observed Silly Girl’s White Tiger Battle Art, Wang Hu knew that she must have already mastered the third stage and reached the perfected state.

Even someone with mid-level Third Floor combat power wouldn’t be able to defend against a blow like that.

Despite that, the corners of his lips quirked upward, and his gentle smile deepened. In the face of absolute power, everything was but illusory.

He threw a plain and unadorned punch. He didn’t even use the Extreme Strength Strike of Dao but just his base strength.

Boom!

A deafening explosion sent seawater rising close to 100 meters into the air.

The incomparably razor-sharp light merely blocked it for the span of a breath before the punch blasted it apart head-on.

Unaffected, Di Baijun’s battle spirit surged even further. By the time the light was blasted apart, she had already arrived right in front like a flash of lightning.

Her delicate hand balled tightly into a fist. With a fierce, domineering momentum that was as majestic as a mountain, her fist blasted through the air as though she were a mighty, unparalleled warrior that had crusaded through battlegrounds for countless years.

Roar~!

Another tiger roar rang out like an explosion, shocking and awing all as though a sound from the heavens.

The light formed from the White Tiger Battle Art appeared thereafter.

Wang Hu’s gaze shifted as he took in the sensation of the razor-sharp force that had more than doubled in strength. There wasn’t just the White Tiger Battle Art in this attack.

It seemed like there was also a kind of energy that came from Silly Girl herself, and it was also filled with razor-sharp keenness and a sense of bloodshed.

‘The White Tiger focuses on bloodshed.’

Was this what they meant by that?

As the thought flashed across his mind, his fist had already turned into a palm, and he activated the first stage of the Extreme Strength Strike of Dao.

Boom!

An even stronger and more intense collision ensued, causing nearly 1,000 meters of seawater at the bottom to explode and rise. As though the tide, it crashed toward every direction, forming an extremely magnificent sight.

Both Wang Hu and Di Baijun took a few steps back.

As Wang Hu gazed at Silly Girl’s countenance that was filled with battle spirit and even excitement, a sense of heroism also arose in Wang Hu.

“That was a pretty good punch, Baijun.”

Upon hearing his comment, Di Baijun let out another cold snort.

White light that looked like the rays of morning sunlight started to glow. In the blink of an eye, it gained a tinge of gold, becoming more like the color of white gold.

An aura of bloodshed and a powerful army—as though that of mountains of corpses and a sea of blood on battlefields—increased greatly, seemingly capable of breaking through everything.

The battle spirit that carried endless imposing might and domineeringness rushed sky-high, and it felt as if even the heavens and earth were changing.

“I shall show you the power of the White Tiger today!”

Di Baijun gave a prideful shout, upon which endless white gold light converged and formed a dazzling divine light.

It looked like a sword or a saber yet also like innumerable other sharp weapons.

In the end, they converged in the fair, jade-like fist which went flying out.

In this instant, everything in front of it gave way to it.

It was as if even the universe itself would be blasted apart if it stood in its path.

A hint of astonishment flashed across Wang Hu’s eyes. The combat power at such a level… as expected of Silly Girl, a legendary White Tiger, indeed.

It was then followed by a sense of pride; that was his wife.

He chuckled and activated the second stage of the Extreme Strength Strike of Dao. At the same time, he also activated the White Tiger Battle Art.

Then, he met the attack with his palm.

Boom!

The dimension within roughly 1,000 meters of him seemed to become distorted, and everything was blasted into pieces.

The white gold light and the gold light formed several shockwaves that, as though a volcano eruption, lashed out in every direction with momentum so incredible it was like they could topple mountains and overturn the seas.

In between the fist and the palm, a pitch-black crack—appearing like a cracked mirror—had formed at some point.

Within the crack was a kind of empty nothingness. In other words, there was nothing there. Nothing existed there.

Wang Hu and Di Baijun retreated another few steps. Two pairs of eyes met each other’s gazes.

One was filled with mirth, gazing dotingly at a mischievous child having fun.

The other, however, was gradually being filled with invisible flames.

That jerk. Was he taking this seriously or not?

His demeanor was really pissing her off.

Although she had only just launched a fairly big energy-consuming move, she nevertheless felt like she had an inexhaustible supply of strength.

With a soft shout, she started to circulate her divine power, simultaneously activating the White Tiger Battle Art, the power of the White Tiger, as well as the Wind-Riding Divine Art that had also reached the perfected level.

Once again, they converged at the small, graceful fist that looked as delicate and beautiful as jade.

Then, with a great boom, she threw another ridiculously ferocious and domineering punch.

Wang Hu was surprisingly in a rather leisurely and contented state, however. If Silly Girl wanted to fight, then fighting was what they would do.

She wasn’t his match anyway.

Besides, he found that serious, stubborn, and domineering demeanor of hers awfully adorable.

He wanted to see her like that for a while more.

He activated the first stage of the Extreme Agility Movement of Dao and the second stage of the Extreme Strength Strike of Dao.

Then, he kept Silly Girl company and fought with her just like that. Most of the time, he only defended against her attacks and didn’t attack, allowing her to attack as she pleased instead.

Boom!

Earth-shattering explosions rang out without pause, each lasting over an hour the moment they rang out.

Violent waves surged in the sea as if doomsday was descending.

All the clouds in the sky within 50 kilometers of where they were had all been scattered a long time ago.

Numerous black cracks were also scattered all over the sky, and they gave off an extremely fearsome aura.

At last, the explosions came to an end.

Wang Hu and Di Baijun stood roughly 100 meters apart in the sky.

Di Baijun had become rather pale by this point, and the aura around her had significantly weakened. This was a sign that she had exhausted a lot of energy.

Wang Hu’s breathing had also become a notch heavier. At this point of the fight, even he felt that he had exhausted a little too much energy.

Being a sparring partner sure was tiring.

After a moment’s thought, he said, “Baijun, today—”

“No.” Di Baijun interrupted him right away. She knew what the jerk wanted to say, of course. However, she hadn’t even managed to land a hit on him yet; neither had she gained the upper hand at all. How could she give up?

After considering for a moment, she said haughtily, “I still have one last move.”

As she spoke, she started to activate a special ability that had once been familiar to her, but it was only in its rudimentary stage now. Additionally, it also wasn’t one that she could control at her current cultivation realm.

The moment the special ability was activated, she started to emit an even more powerful aura.

Wang Hu’s gaze flickered. That aura… she was only just beginning to activate it, yet it already felt stronger than Silly Girl at her peak just now.

As expected, reincarnated experts that were re-cultivating from scratch like Silly Girl simply possessed too many trump cards.

They were incredibly strong.

Never mind. He would just go along with Silly Girl and let her finish that one last move.

He kept the second stage of the Extreme Strength Strike of Dao activated.

Boom!

A split second later, even the air around Di Baijun was shaking. The powerful aura around her had reached a limit.

Suddenly, just as Wang Hu was prepared for her move, Silly Girl went limp and fell from where she was.

The powerful aura dissipated right away.

Shocked, Wang Hu subconsciously rushed forward as quickly as he could to catch her.

Before Di Baijun even realized what had happened, she immediately felt someone carrying her in the embarrassing pose known as the bridal carry, and a familiar scent reached her.

At once, she pouted somewhat embarrassedly and soundlessly buried her face, refusing to look at the jerk.

A frowning Wang Hu checked her condition, upon which he became both exasperated and amused.

As it turned out, she had run out of strength.

Silly Girl must have needed too much divine power to activate that special ability or power, yet she didn’t have enough remaining.

After realizing that, she had taken the initiative to cancel the activation. However, it had nevertheless too great a toll on her divine power, resulting in her falling from where she was right away.

Apart from that, she was fine. She would recover after some rest.

After his worry was assuaged, he looked at her dotingly and chided softly, “You’re so silly. To think you’re going to the extent of fighting until you run out of strength when you’re just fighting with your husband.”

Di Baijun became indignant the moment she heard what he said.

Even though she was still in the jerk’s arms, how could she possibly show weakness to the other party?

She raised her head at once. Refusing to admit defeat in the least, she said, “You’re the silly one. It was just a miscalculation on my part this time. Besides, I didn’t want to heavily injure you. That’s the only reason why I canceled the special ability’s activation in the nick of time. Otherwise… heheh.”

Her words amused Wang Hu. After a slight pause, he put her down from the bridal carry position and held her with one arm. Then, he took Silly Girl’s hand with his free hand and struck his chest with her hand twice.

“You silly thing. Isn’t it easy if you want to win? Just say the word, and I’ll lose, okay?

“Look, you’re already striking me, aren’t you? I don’t even have any means of retaliation anymore.”
