Chapter 9: Evil God, Tearing the White Tiger Apart

The shrill scream was exceptionally abrupt in the quiet night, startling the guarding bailiffs into looking toward the depths of the forest.

But the depths of the mountain forest were pitch black; they could see nothing.

"It must be some death-wish fool who took advantage of the night to run off. You lot, go and take a headcount," the head bailiff spat on the ground in anger.

Several bailiffs obeyed and went to count the people.

Xiao Jin had woken up the moment the scream rang out. He held the two children in his arms and looked around vigilantly, but he could not find Su Ying’s figure.

"Where is Su Ying?"

"She snuck into the forest. That poisonous woman—don't tell me she got eaten by the beasts in the woods? It serves her right; dying like that is letting her off too easy!" Jiang Yang said with hatred.

Xiao Jin narrowed his eyes. Su Ying had also gone into the forest last night; what exactly was she trying to do?

A cool breeze suddenly blew from the depths of the forest, carrying a nauseating, fishy stench and the smell of blood.

Xiao Jin’s nerves tightened instantly. He hugged the two children tighter and had Jiang Yang help him up, his dark eyes fixed intently on the direction of the forest.

The pitch-black mountain forest was like a giant beast with its mouth agape, capable of swallowing a person whole in one bite.

A low, rumbling growl, as if coming from the depths of a throat, suddenly echoed from the woods. Everyone stood up in terror, staring toward the forest.

A moment later, a pair of green eyes appeared in the darkness, and its massive body was revealed bit by bit under the moonlight.

The faint moonlight shone on the faces of the crowd, making them look even paler.

"It’s, it’s a, a big worm! It’s a big worm!"

Suddenly, someone screamed, and everyone turned to flee.

"ROAR!"

A tiger’s roar made the mountaintop tremble.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry and get the people up into the tall trees!" Su Ying had returned to Xiao Jin and the others at some point. Seeing that the two men hadn't moved, she reached out and snatched the two little ones from his arms.

Jiang Yang snapped out of his daze, hurriedly hoisted Xiao Jin onto his back, and turned to climb the tree behind them.

Fortunately, the trees here were towering, with thick, sturdy trunks; accommodating a few people was not a problem.

Su Ying climbed the tree first while holding the children. Once Xiao Jin and the others were up, she placed the children in his arms.

Xiao Jin’s dark eyes sank as he watched her prepare to go back down. "Su Ying, what are you doing?"

Su Ying looked back and said expressionlessly, "I finally ran into such a big piece of meat; how could I let it just run away?" Before she even finished speaking, she had already charged toward the tiger.

Jiang Yang was stunned as he watched Su Ying’s back. He must have seen wrong; otherwise, why would he see a gleam of excitement in Su Ying’s eyes?

Was this poisonous woman crazy? That was a Sky-Piercing White Tiger, twice the size of a normal tiger! With her stature, charging over there probably wouldn't even be enough to get stuck in the white tiger's teeth!

Xiao Jin was also slightly taken aback. He had clearly seen a look of confident determination on Su Ying’s face.

Did this woman think she could kill a white tiger that was several times her size?

Where did she get such confidence!?

Su Ying had no idea what they were thinking. At this moment, she was so excited that every pore on her body had opened up!

Such a huge white tiger—how much meat would this be!

The white tiger roared angrily and charged into the crowd, biting several prisoners to death in one go. The other prisoners were scared out of their wits and fled in all directions. Even the bailiffs hid far away; no one dared to get anywhere near it.

Su Ying sprinted behind a large tree. After finding her position, she fired an anesthetic needle.

However, the dosage of the anesthetic needle was a bit small and did not immediately knock the white tiger down.

Su Ying pulled out the dagger at her waist, climbed up a large tree, and after gauging the distance, leaped with all her might onto the white tiger. She clamped her legs tightly around the tiger's neck and grabbed its ears with one hand.

With someone suddenly on its back, the white tiger shook its body frantically in anger, but Su Ying’s legs were clamped so tightly that it couldn't shake her off.

The white tiger let out a furious roar and slammed its body into a nearby tree.

Su Ying suddenly raised the dagger in her hand and stabbed it fiercely into the white tiger’s eye.

"ROAR, ROAR, ROAR!"

The white tiger roared in pain, a sound that made people’s hearts tremble. Yet, a bloodthirsty, excited gleam appeared in Su Ying’s eyes. She triggered the mechanism on the dagger, and the blade expanded, instantly piercing into the white tiger’s brain.

Su Ying twisted her wrist and gave it a violent stir. The tiger’s body stiffened, and it crashed to the ground.

Su Ying pulled out the dagger. Her face was splattered with blood mixed with the tiger’s brain matter. She wiped her face and jumped off the white tiger.

This white tiger looked to be at least a thousand pounds. If she peeled this tiger skin and took it to the city, it would probably fetch a lot of money.

Su Ying was only thinking about how much tiger meat she could quietly hide in her space, completely unaware of the stunned crowd.

That was a giant white tiger that tore through human flesh as easily as tearing through rags!

And it had been slaughtered by Su Ying in a few quick moves!

What on earth is Su Ying?!

While everyone was still in a daze, Su Ying had already skillfully skinned the tiger.

Su Ying put the tiger skin away and looked impatiently at the people peeking from the shadows. "Where is the team leader? Where is the lead bailiff?"

When Li Da heard Su Ying calling him, his scalp went numb. This murderous god wouldn't want to peel his skin too, would she!

Li Da gathered his courage and stepped forward. "W-what is it?"

Su Ying pointed at the tiger and said, "There’s too much tiger meat; I can’t finish it alone. I’ll divide the meat in a moment. Have your men set up a few more bonfires to roast the meat, and distribute a portion to everyone."

Although it pained her a bit, she couldn't quietly hide such a huge white tiger in her space. She could only put a portion away while everyone was busy dividing the meat, and distribute the rest to the other prisoners—consider it a good deed for the day.

Hearing her say this, Li Da breathed a sigh of relief. At least she didn't want to peel his skin.

"Alright, I’ll have the men do it right away."

The dagger in Su Ying’s hand was extremely sharp. Before long, she had carved all the tiger meat off.

She didn't let anyone get too close. When no one was looking, she put some of the tiger meat into her storage space, along with some tiger bones. Her comrades from the ancient martial arts family used to say that soaking tiger bones in wine was a great tonic; it was just a pity she couldn't take it all.

When Su Ying returned to Xiao Jin and the others with the roasted tiger meat, four pairs of eyes were fixed directly on her.

Xiao Jin’s eyes were deep. If he hadn't seen her kill such a large tiger with such crisp, ruthless efficiency with his own eyes, he wouldn't have known how much strength this woman had been hiding from him.

Jiang Yang was truly shocked; after all, Su Ying’s impression in his mind had always been that of a stupid, infatuated, useless woman.

The two little ones were simply terrified, as the scene at the time had been too bloody.

Su Ying handed the roasted meat to Er Bao and smiled. "Roasted tiger meat is delicious, you know."

Er Bao’s little mouth pouted, and her big eyes welled up with tears. She looked like she was about to cry. "You, you’re hurt, you’re hurt... wuwuwuwu..."
