Bai Di looked at him meaningfully. “Are you saying you’re serious about pursuing Huanhuan?”
“Of course.”
Xue Ling licked the corners of his mouth. This was the first time he had seen such a fresh and delicious female!
1
Especially when she was angry. She was like a wild cat baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. She was so cute that he wanted to cut off her claws and keep her in a cage forever to become his little pet!
Bai Di said, “Then let’s fight. Only those who win against me can have the chance to stay by Huanhuan’s side.”
1
Hearing this, Huanhuan was immediately shocked.
She grabbed his hand. “Don’t fight him!”
Xue Ling was not an ordinary beast. He was definitely powerful. If they really fought, Bai Di might not be able to escape unscathed.
Just the thought of Bai Di being hurt made her heart burn.
He stroked her head, soothing her. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”
“But—”
“I have to fight him. It’s a rule among male beasts. If he can’t even win against me, he has no right to pester you again.”
Bai Di’s eyes were filled with tenderness, but his words were firm.
Lin Huanhuan knew that he had made up his mind and could not change it. She could only say with tears in her eyes, “Then, then you have to be careful. If you really can’t beat him, admit defeat. When Shuang Yun and Sang Ye return, you can bring them along to take revenge.”
Bai Di didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I haven’t even attacked, yet you already think that I’ll lose. Am I that useless to you?”
Lin Huanhuan hugged his waist and said stubbornly, “I don’t understand what’s going on between you male beasts. I don’t care about winning or losing. I just want you to be safe.”
Bai Di felt both helpless and warm inside.
“Yes, I’ll do whatever you say.”
Xue Ling looked at the little female nestled in her mate’s arms. She was so small that she looked like a soft kitten.
He did not expect her to become so docile and cute in the blink of an eye. He was getting more and more interested!
Thinking that he could tease this little female every day in the future, Xue Ling couldn’t help but look forward to it.
His lips curled into a smile, and his gaze was evil. “It’s been a long time since anyone has dared to challenge me. On account of your courage, I’ll give myself a handicap. I won’t use my wings and will only use one hand. How about that?”
“That won’t be necessary.”
Bai Di pushed Huanhuan to a relatively safe corner and transformed into a white tiger. His blue eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
“Let’s fight!”
Xue Ling landed steadily on the ground, retracted his wings, put his left hand behind his back, and raised his right hand. “Come!”
Bai Di pounced on Xue Ling as fast as lightning!
Xue Ling stood where he was, not dodging.
The surrounding beasts couldn’t help but hold their breaths, their hearts in their mouths.
Just as Bai Di’s tiger claw was about to touch the red bird, it disappeared!
The white tiger missed.
As a bystander, Lin Huanhuan immediately saw the red figure behind the white tiger and hurriedly exclaimed, “He’s behind you!”
The white tiger suddenly turned around. At the same time, Xue Ling’s right hand had already condensed into a ball of flames that smashed at Bai Di!
1
The white tiger immediately dodged, but unfortunately, it was too late. He was hit by the fireball, and a large area of his snow-white fur was immediately burned.
1
Lin Huanhuan widened her eyes in a panic.
She instinctively ran toward the white tiger, but she was stopped by a wolf.
“Females can’t interfere in a duel between male beasts. That’s the rule.”
2
Lin Huanhuan was furious. “I don’t care about your stupid rules. Bai Di’s safety is the most important to me!”
Compared to the disheveled white tiger, Xue Ling seemed especially relaxed at this moment. He even had the time to look at Huanhuan in the corner with a frivolous and ambiguous smile.
“Don’t be angry. It’s the law of nature to prey on the weak. Since your mates can’t protect you, you should dump them and find stronger male beasts to be your mates. That’s the right choice for you.”
Lin Huanhuan was so angry that her eyes turned red. “Bai Di is not weak! He’s very strong!”
As if to verify what she said, the white tiger, who had fallen to the ground, stood up again.
Not only that, but his blue eyes were also emitting blue-purple lightning.
Lin Huanhuan suddenly felt a heat on her waist.
She instinctively looked down and realized that a tiger tattoo with a crown of thorns had appeared on her waist.
It was Bai Di’s star pattern.
Why was it on her?!
1
The star pattern was glowing. Blue and purple lightning could be vaguely seen on its surface.
When Xue Ling saw the white tiger, his blood eyes narrowed slightly as if he was surprised. “Is he going to advance…”
Moreover, from the looks of it, this tiger beast had actually activated his lightning attribute!
The white tiger jumped and pounced on Xue Ling again.
Not only did his speed increase greatly, but his sharp tiger claws were also wrapped in lightning.
Xue Ling quickly dodged back.
The white tiger landed, and the lightning on its claws immediately charred the ground.
Such powerful destructive power made even the knowledgeable Xue Ling’s expression change slightly.
The two sides fought a few more rounds. The white tiger became faster and faster, and more lightning wrapped around its body.
1
His strength was still increasing!
Xue Ling had never seen such a thing before. In his surprise, he gradually lost his initial composure. His clothes and hair that were touched by the lightning were burned to ashes. He looked as disheveled as the white tiger.
1
Xue Ling knew he could not delay any longer.
He had to end this quickly!
Xue Ling flipped his right hand, formed a huge fireball, and threw it at the white tiger!
The white tiger roared at the sky and spat out a huge ball of lightning.
1
The fireball collided with the lightning.
Bang!
They exploded into brilliant fireworks.
1
After the extremely blinding light, everyone saw that the white tiger and Xue Ling were still standing.
However, both of them looked very disheveled. It was impossible to tell who would win.
Xue Ling suddenly said, “I lost.”
1
When the fireball exploded just now, the white tiger took the opportunity to pounce on him despite the danger of being injured. He had no choice but to flap his wings and fly into the sky to avoid the white tiger’s fatal blow.
Xue Ling had promised not to use his wings. Since he couldn’t do it, he had lost.
The birds were all shocked.
They had never thought that the most powerful Elder Xue Ling would lose one day!
This was even more shocking than Elder Xue Ling finding a female he liked!
Xue Ling glanced at Huanhuan. “You’re right. Your mate is indeed very strong. I underestimated him.”
2
With that, he flapped his huge wings and flew away.
When the beasts saw that their elders had admitted defeat, they couldn’t say anything else. They all flew away dejectedly.
