Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]

Chapter 537: Two-Winged Tiger 2

"Wait." Zhen Yuan suddenly said, holding the double’s arm to stop his charge.

"What’s the matter?" Shen Xu asked.

"Listen carefully." Zhen Yuan urged and the double frowned but didn’t argue.

A moment later, he narrowed his eyes and turned to Zhen Yuan.

"The roar..., It’s neithet angry nor threatening." He said and Zhen Yuan nodded before speaking.

"The two-winged tiger may be hurt." He speculated.

Ordinarily, a beast’s roar carried its qi presence and intent.

Because of this, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan could sense that the two-winged tiger’s roar did not specifically target them, but was rather a reaction to pain.

"Let’s check it out." Zhen Yuan suggested and the double nodded.

Although they were reasonably certain that the tiger was injured, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan were not careless.

Before entering the cave, the two activated absolute domain talismans and planned to enter the space if the situation was different from what they expected.

The tiger’s cave was large!

At a glance, it was almost three thousand square metres and had random trees and flowers every few metres.

’There are even five-petal blue stock flowers.’ Shen Xu observed before shifting his gaze to one of the trees.

[The rainbow-pulp guava tree hasn’t flowered, let alone bore fruits.] Je transmitted with a disappointed expression.

[We can cut a branch and replant it in thrbspace. Also...] Zhen Yuan started but didn’t finish.

[Also?] The double urged.

[We won’t suffer a loss from coming here.] Zhen Yuan said but didn’t explain.

Instead, he turned to the tiger that was on the other side of the cave.

Generally, monster cultivators preferred their beast form to human form.

However, the tiger had for some reason transformed and looked like a young lady.

The young lady had long white hair but wore a black robe that contrasted with her pale skin.

At this time, the young lady had red eyes and was banging her head against the cave wall.

Most importantly, she didn’t react to their presence and didn’t even care that her head was bleeding so badly that blood was pooling on the ground.

"What’s wrong with it?" She Xu couldn’t help but wonder.

"It looks like inner demons." Zhen Yuan said and sighed.

Shen Xu frowned when he heard this.

From what they had learned from the Song siblings, the two-winged tiger was powerful but it never left its territory and only attacked intruders.

However, if it really lost its mind, it would definitely exit the cave and might even end up in nearby villages and towns.

That said, Shen Xu was unwilling to attack a defenseless opponent that hadn’t provoked them yet.

"Ayuan..." He called and as if seeing his thoughts, Zhen Yuan nodded.

"Let’s collect what we need from the cave, and give it heart calming pills as compensation." He said.

After that, the two collected immortal grasses and branches from the surrounding trees.

When that was done, Zhen Yuan picked a stone from the ground and put it in his storage ring.

"Is that..." Shen Xu started and Zhen Yuan nodded.

"What is it?" The double continued but Zhen Yuan shook his head.

"I don’t know. We will examine it when we have time." He said.

After that, Zhen Yuan knocked the tiger out and pasted a heart calming talisman on its back.

At the same, Shen Xu opened its mouth and forced it to swallow thre heart calming pills.

When that was done, Shen Xu put a storage bracelet on the tiger’s wrist before he and Zhen Yuan left the cave.

"I not only gave her some pills but also twenty litres of the divine monster blood wine. Those should be enough to end the cause and effect." He said.

After all, he and Zhen Yuan benefited from the tiger’s danger.

If the tiger was not mad, the two would have fought a hard fight before earning an opportunity to collect the cave’s treasures.

"The wine should be just right to help it advance." Zhen Yuan said.

"Do you think it will succeed?" Shen Xu asked.

"Who knows?! Maybe it will, or maybe it won’t. What is certain is that this matter no longer has anything to do with us."

Since they had already achieved their goal, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan didn’t linger and immediately left Haihua Valley.

On the ship, Shen Xu looked at the horizon with a thoughtful expression.

"We will arrive at Bozhou town in five days." He said.

"There is still a little more than two months until the next task. What do you plan to do?" Zhen Yuan asked.

"Prepare more pills, food, and weapons." The double answered.

Zhen Yuan nodded when he heard this.

Time passed and before they knew it, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu returned to Bozhou town.

Compared to Fu’an town, Bozhou town was a little larger and more prosperous.

However, it wasn’t much different and the town itself had nothing interesting about it.

After returning, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan bought some immortal grasses and other resources before booking an inn room.

Soon after raising the formations in their room, the two entered the space and appeared in their bamboo hut.

"The meeting time is in one month. We can use the time until then to prepare." Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu nodded.

However, before that, he was lore interested in the stone that Zhen Yuan had picked up from the two-winged tiger’s cave.

"Ayuan, what about the stone?" He asked.

Hearing the question, Zhen Yuan smiled and removed the stone from his storage ring.

The stone looked like a random rock on the roadside.

However, Zhen Yuan could see its laws and knew it wasn’t ordinary.

"Let’s go to the library." He said and stone.

Seeing this, the double also stood and followed Zhen Yuan out of the room.

"What are we looking for?" He asked when they entered the library.

"Soul treasures." Zhen Yuan said and quickly continued.

"The stone has many soul laws but it isn’t a soul stone. We need to know what it is." He said.
