The White Tiger’s main space changed.
After getting the White Tiger’s blood essence, Caspian’s mastery of body movements once again improved. Caspian might look normal when did not move, but as soon as favonovel.com used his footwork, favonovel.com appeared real yet imaginary, as if favonovel.com traveled through folded space. Such an erratic ghostly body technique would be a nightmare for any enemy.
The Mirage White Tiger accepted Caspian’s bow. Then, it stared at Caspian and slowly stood. Soon, Caspian saw a small white tiger curled up behind the Mirage White Tiger.
“It’s the Mirage White Tiger’s cub!” Caspian was stunned.
The Mirage White Tiger leaned, picked the tiny white cub, and walked toward Caspian.
Caspian hurriedly walked forward and grabbed it. As soon as Caspian received it, his hands felt warm. The tiny Mirage White Tiger was only about 30 centimeters long, and as it was just born, some of its fetal hair had yet wholly faded. Even though it was part of the White Tigers, the cub appeared just like a larger kitten.
At that time, the little buddy had its eyes shut, and it gently snored. Then, after twisting and turning in Caspian’s arms, it seemed to have finally found a comfortable position and fell into a deep sleep.
Caspian carefully carried the cub, looking at the Mirage White Tiger as favonovel.com asked, “Is it a male or female?”
“Just like me,” the Mirage White Tiger said. Then, it leaned over, sticking out its long tongue as it licked the little white cub. It was apparent that the Mirage White Tiger knew their separation was imminent, and it was filled with reluctance.
Caspian was suddenly touched by the scene. He could not help but recall the words his mother left favonovel.com at the Tower of Life.
“The journey ahead of you is still long, and I apologize for not accompanying you further. Perhaps you’ll encounter countless dangers in the future. But, I hope that you’ll remember no matter how difficult, dire, or desperate the situation is, you should never give up on hope.”
She probably felt the same sadness and bitterness as the Mirage White Tiger when favonovel.com wrote the message. Caspian suddenly felt somewhat teary, and favonovel.com hurriedly took a deep breath, saying, “Don’t worry about it. With me around, I’ll make sure favonovel.com lives well.”
After pondering for a moment, Caspian added, “I know what you’re worried about, and I can assure you that I’ll treat favonovel.com like my own sister. I won’t let anyone hurt her, nor will I treat favonovel.com like a slave.”
The Mirage White Tiger looked at Caspian and asked, “You promise?”
For the first time, its voice trembled. In truth, the Mirage White Tiger already planned for the worst, which was after Caspian raised its cub, favonovel.com would treat it as a monster under its command. However, Caspian gave it an unexpected assurance.
Then, Caspian chuckled. “Do you know what other people call me? Caspian, the Ferocious Tiger, and the ferocious tigers never lie.”
It did not matter what Caspian was about to say, and even if Caspian’s assurance was to comfort the Mirage White Tiger, it did not mind. With that guarantee, it was enough to put the monster at ease and leave!
“I’ll raise it well until the day you come for her.”
Caspian looked at the Mirage White Tiger. Although Caspian was much smaller and his realm was far from the tiger’s, Caspian’s tone sounded as if favonovel.com instructed another companion, “You must return.”
Caspian did not know if favonovel.com said the same thing to the specific figure that had left him. Even if favonovel.com left favonovel.com the Earring of Echo, Tower of Life, and countless other treasures, Caspian would much rather trade all that for his mother to never leave him.
The Mirage White Tiger felt Caspian’s emotions, and it burst into tears. Then, it whimpered and said in a low voice, “Alright. I promise that I’ll return.”
That was a promise to Caspian and its daughter.
“The ferocious tigers never lie.” Caspian smiled.
“Never.” The Mirage White Tiger cried.
Caspian hugged the cub in his arms, and favonovel.com asked, “You’re favonovel.com mother… Did you name favonovel.com yet?”
The Mirage White Tiger did not answer him. Looking at its dumbfounded appearance, Caspian was puzzled. “You didn’t?”
The Mirage White Tiger appeared embarrassed, and it replied, “I didn’t have the time to name favonovel.com due to the time constraint.”
Then, as it noticed that Caspian showed a look of disbelief, a hint of anger flashed in the Mirage White Tiger’s eyes, and it growled, “The White Tigers don’t have a name, but since she’ll be following you from now onward, you should name her.”
“You can’t think of any,” Caspian muttered softly.
However, seeing that the Mirage White Tiger was on the verge of going ballistic, Caspian hurriedly patted the cub’s little head. “Since you’re following me, you’ll have the same sumame as I do. Your name is… Candice Montgomery, and you’ll be nicknamed Candy. How’s that?”
The last question was for the Mirage White Tiger.
“Candice Montgomery, nicknamed Candy…” The Mirage White Tiger mumbled, stuck out its tongue, and started to lick on the cub.
The cub was unaware that it was about to be separated from its mother. At that time, it waved its little paw, grunting in annoyance as its sleep was interrupted.
“I should go now as they need me.” Caspian looked at the Mirage White Tiger.
“Sure. Please take good care of her.” The Mirage White Tiger nodded, and with eyes full of reluctance, it turned its sight to Caspian. “When I leave, I’ll leave a teleportation channel. Just walk in, and you’ll return to your previous spot. Then… See you next time.”
The Mirage White Tiger made a whining sound, facing Caspian and its child as it slowly stepped back. Each step the tiger took seemed to weigh thousands of kilograms. Finally, after more than dozens of steps, the Mirage White Tiger’s eyes flashed with determination, and it turned around, roaring.
Boom!
The space in front of the Mirage White Tiger suddenly melted as if it were snow, and a hole appeared. It was bizarre and colorful with many twists and turns, and Caspian did not know where it led to.
Before entering the hole, the Mirage White Tiger turned its head and once again shouted at Caspian, “Remember what you said!”
“Of course.” Caspian nodded.
Glancing at its child for the last time, the Mirage White Tiger’s eyes burst with tears, and it let out a roar filled with grief and anger. Then, it jumped into the hole.
In the Mirage White Tiger’s roar, there was unwillingness, indignant, rage, and sadness, which stabbed right through everyone’s heart. After the Mirage White Tiger leaped in, the hole immediately disappeared. Then, it turned into a straight line of blood, slowly spreading out.
That scene was just the same as when Caspian was pulled here before.
“Little Candy, we’re going to meet our enemies. Are you afraid?” Caspian chuckled and caressed the cub’s head. “But don’t worry as I won’t put you in danger. Although, for the sake of your safety, this might be uncomfortable for you first…”
After saying that, Caspian sent the cub to the Earring of Echo. An ordinary space magic tool such as storage bags could not store living things, and if Caspian forcefully placed the cub into it, Little Candy might be dead in less than a second. However, the Earring of Echo did not have such a problem, and Caspian spent hundreds of days and nights practicing there.
Once Caspian settled Little Candy, the line of blood completely unfolded and turned into a blood curtain.
