Wild Crimson Rose: Beloved Handyman Princes Courtesan Wife - Chapter 426

On the other hand, Tao Zhouqi took the opportunity that the demonic beast was distracted to leap onto its back, settling down at its shoulders.

Feeling someone settle on its back, the Tyrannical Sky Tiger went crazy. It bucked nd jumped without a care in the world. Because its movements suddenly became unpredictable, Wei Yixing was flung back and slammed into a wall. Tao Zhouqi was trying to hold on as much as he could but he couldn’t reach the fur on the demonic beast through its spiritual energy armor. He could only hug the neck tightly and wound his legs around its neck as an additional precaution.

The Tyrannical Sky Tigers were a proud species that did not usually bow down to anyone, demonic beast or human. So how could one of them take having a human ride on its back? Its an unspeakable humiliation! Not to mention it wasn’t even contracted with that human. Its eyes were tinged red in anger as Old Qi jumped upwards, trying to smash into the roof of the cavern.

Seeing that it wasn’t looking good, Shen Tianyu furrowed her brows. She did say before that climbing onto a demonic beast’s back would give opportunities to attack given their proud nature. However, this method was only in the case of having no other escape routes or methods. This time certainly was not the right opportunity to use this tactic.

“Tao Zhouqi! Get down from there!” She yelled at the demonic beast and human pair that were gradually leaving their line of sight. This Tyrannical Sky Tiger was more ancient than the ones residing in their mountains, if they really angered it, she didn’t know if they will be able to proceed unscathed.

Hearing the order of his leader, Tao Zhouqi subconsciously loosened his grip on the Tyrannical Sky Tiger. With Old Qi squirming around as if it was being bitten by fire ants, Tao Zhouqi fell off the demonic beast’s back head first.

Thankfully, the man had already reached golden core level. Churning the spiritual energy in his dantian, he managed to slow his descent and float back down to the ground. However, during his fight on the back of the demonic beast, he had let go of his two swords so he was without a weapon. While the Tyrannical Sky Tiger was still out of sight, he quickly sprinted over to the two sharp, iron rods on the ground.

Yi Weixing had slid down from the wall he had impacted with. Due to the force that threw him backwards, his head hit the wall even though his back took the brunt of it. He was standing against the wall, with one hand holding on to his broadsword that was sticking out of the ground and the other hand holding his head, which was trying to shake some sense back into himself.

“Child of man, you dare try to humiliate me!” As Shen Tianyu had feared, a roar resounded throughout the cave along with those words. Even if she couldn’t see the creature, it must be mighty angry right now. Tyrannical Sky Tigers were one of the proudest of the already egotistic demonic beasts.

Shen Tianyu stepped forward into the arena of light which had no markings or barriers and bowed towards the top of the cave where the voice had come from.

“I sincerely apologize for his behavior. It is my mistake for not teaching them correctly. Please appease your anger, I’ll do my best to make it up to you.” She proceeded to apologize in a humble but calm manner, a hand over her heart and head lowered to show her sincerity.

“Make it up to me? Make it up to me?! What in the world can you measly humans offer for this great stain on my reputation?! Even the Old Master never treated me in such a way!” The tyrannical Sky Tiger roared from on high, still refusing to come back down to the ground.

‘Mn? Why does its words sound… strange? It’s acting like a maiden that’s been groped in broad daylight. I’m pretty sure Zhouqi didn’t touch behind the neck, either with his feet or hands. Uh… well a different is a different species, I won’t understand another’s standards without a proper talk.’ Three black lines appeared on Shen Tianyu’s forehead in exasperation.

Tyrannical Sky Tigers were rare, especially with the development of human civilization and their encroachment on nature and territories that originally belonged to others. The human business of selling lands is something purely human, with its standard set by humans and checked by humans. It rarely takes into account the inhabitants of those lands or their thoughts, whether it be animals or demonic beasts. Some demonic beasts have already claimed a territory as their own yet the ignorant and greedy humans still decide to sell it to another for development or to build settlements, which can cause conflicts between the two. And with humans being who they were, the demonic beasts are always in the wrong, even if it was the humans who invaded their territory first.

The Tyrannical Sky Tiger residing at Yaodu is young and had been on its own for a long period of time before Shen Tianyu managed to bring it back. Therefore, it was only a little bit more familiar than them with the etiquette and manners of the Tyrannical Sky Tiger community. It spends most of its time cultivating on the mountain and rarely any humans visit it as it had explicitly stated it did not want to be disturbed. Seeing as it was also slow to warm up to others, many of the others also did not hold much curiosities toward the young demonic beast, at least, not strong enough for them to trespass onto the mountain. Though, in human terms, that mountain technically belonged to them.
