Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

Feeling Tang Wen's fiery gaze on her lips.

Hu Lan felt inexplicably flustered, dodging left and right, not daring to look at him.

Tang Wen laughed, it seems this Holy Maiden has never been in love!

Then I have to go even more.

He grabbed Hu Lan's wrist, pulling her towards "Rouge \u0026 Powder Alley".

Thump, thump...

The Holy Maiden, undefeated among sixth-rank cultivators, had a vision of a young couple's lips meeting, her wrist burning with heat, making her heart race: What's wrong with me? What am I afraid of? It doesn't feel like fear...

Watching Tang Wen hold her wrist.

She felt very strange.

Having never been touched by a man since childhood, Hu Lan didn't understand what male-female attraction or hormonal surges were.

"Welcome, honored guests!"

The experienced madam's eyes flashed with amazement.

"Young master, young lady, you two are truly a match made in heaven!"

Tang Wen said, "Do you have rouge? Help me choose a few suitable ones, and be quick about it."

He couldn't wait to eat rouge.

"Honored guest, please wait, I'll go get them!"

The madam brought seven or eight boxes in one breath, with different shades of pink and red.

Tang Wen casually opened a box, looking at Hu Lan's rosy lips.

The madam said, "Just use a thin hairpin to apply a little bit on the lady's lips, and it will definitely be more beautiful than the most beautiful plum blossom."

Tang Wen took out a few gold leaves and handed them over.

The madam's flattery poured out like it was free.

"What a beautiful young lady!"

Before Hu Lan could apply the rouge to her lips, a jarring voice sounded.

The newcomer was a young man with a frivolous and lustful face.

The madam's expression changed slightly, but she didn't dare to speak out, only gave Tang Wen a look, and hurriedly retreated to the side.

Interrupted, Hu Lan's face returned to its icy coldness.

Tang Wen's eyes blazed with anger: "A member of the Huang family? So arrogant, a direct descendant! Who sent you? To cause trouble, to assassinate? What does the Huang family want?"

A series of accusations rained down.

The newcomer was stunned. He was arrogant, not stupid.

He was about to ask Tang Wen who he was.

When a figure rushed over and pressed down on his shoulder.

It was a sixth-rank cultivator: "Huang Ke of the Huang family, greets the White Tiger Holy Maiden, greets Young Master Tang Wen. Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, my young master doesn't recognize you two, I apologize on his behalf."

Saying that, he didn't even look at his young master's face, squeezed out a smile, and cupped his hands in a fist.

"Oh? So you're not trying to tear up the agreement?"

"Young Master Tang is joking." The Huang family's sixth-rank cultivator transmitted his voice: "The White Tiger tribe will leave sooner or later, Young Master Tang should not push things too far."

Tang Wen's eyes were like knives, directly speaking out: "Huang Ke, right? Are you threatening me?"

"How dare I, how dare I. Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." Huang Ke's face was full of fake smiles, with a fierce glint in his eyes.

Can't our dignified Huang family deal with your Blackwater Gang?

Just you wait!

Once the White Tiger clan leaves, we'll see who's in charge of Gushan City!

Hu Lan's pretty face was frosty, calmly staring at Huang Ke.

Which made him feel a chill in his heart.

After the two left and were far away, their shadows disappeared, Huang Ke cursed, "A gigolo who lives off women, once those White Tiger women leave, I won't be able to deal with you?"

The Huang family's young master, looking in the direction they left, his face was full of gloom: "In Gushan City, this is the first time I've apologized to someone!"

"The Huang family is used to throwing its weight around, bullying men and forcing women."

Leaving the rouge shop, Tang Wen held Hu Lan's hand and didn't let go.

Her hand was slender, like cool soft jade, feeling quite comfortable.

Hu Lan said, "I could have killed him just now."

Huh?

Tang Wen looked around, transmitting his voice: "How many fifth-rank cultivators are there in the White Tiger tribe?"

Hu Lan said, "My tribe lives in the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there are many fifth-rank beasts, almost every mountain has them."

"Are there twenty?" Tang Wen guessed.

Hu Lan's eyes were like ice and snow: "Do you want to deal with the Huang family?"

"The Huang family's power is too great, they probably hate me already."

After a moment of silence, Hu Lan said, "The underground Demon Cave in Gushan City needs the Huang family, needs them to risk their lives."

"Risk their lives? When that day comes, they'll probably abandon the city and run away."

"They won't." Her tone was calm and firm.

Tang Wen was puzzled: "Why?"

Hu Lan didn't answer: "I will leave two White Tigers behind, for you to command."

All the way until they returned home, their palms released, he still didn't understand the strength of the White Tiger tribe.

It's not easy to hug this thigh!

The Tiger clan clearly doesn't consider me one of their own yet.

At night, Tang Wen put on night clothes and climbed over the wall.

Arriving at an empty courtyard not far away, he opened the cellar and went inside.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp..."

In four or five roughly made cages, a group of hummingbirds fluttered their wings, eagerly opening their mouths and chirping.

A glance revealed eighty-seven of them.

They had mutated once, and now their strength was equivalent to low-level beasts.

Using Beast Control Art to appease and tame them.

Time slowly passed.

The hummingbirds were even hungrier, constantly chirping.

Tang Wen thought for a while, opened the cages, opened the cellar hatch, selected a few, left two of them behind, and quietly released the rest.

The Giant Rock Martial Hall was still searching for Huang Seventeen's whereabouts.

This place was too close to his residence, very dangerous.

Besides, he didn't have top-quality nectar to feed them.

And the best place to hide a group of hummingbirds was a larger group of hummingbirds.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!"

The pair of hummingbirds Tang Wen left behind were very anxious, probably asking why the other birds went to eat and they couldn't.

He rubbed their little heads with his fingertip: "Alright, you two go too."

The last two hummingbirds also flew away one after another.

Smashing the cages and burning them, he then left this place.

How should he let the Giant Rock Martial Hall know that he could tame hummingbirds?

The hummingbirds in the yard were all gone, he slowly cleaned up the loose ends.

As a result, after this delay, the two hummingbirds that had just flown away came back after eating and drinking their fill.

"Alright, you two can follow me!"

These days, the major forces in the inner and outer cities took turns hosting banquets for the White Tiger tribe's party.

All the city's high-level figures would attend.

The next day, at the banquet.

After eating and drinking his fill, Hu Lan looked around, not seeing Huang Ke of the Huang family from yesterday, so she looked in the direction of the Huang family and said, "Everyone, Tang Wen is already a guest elder of my White Tiger tribe. The guest elders of our tribe are different from those of your respective forces. They have a very high status and can mobilize a White Tiger Guard team within my tribe, which is ten fifth-rank experts, plus ten fifth-rank White Tigers!"

As soon as her voice fell, the entire hall was silent.

After a while, Third Master Huang stood up, cupping his hands in a salute: "Could it be that my unworthy son offended you two?"

Hu Lan glanced at him, not saying a word.

Third Master Huang guaranteed, "I will definitely investigate thoroughly when I get back, and give the Holy Maiden a satisfactory explanation!"

No one made a sound, everyone was still digesting Hu Lan's words.

A guest elder can mobilize twenty fifth-rank experts?

Was that possible?

And the implication behind it seemed even more terrifying.

A White Tiger Guard team had a full twenty fifth-rank cultivators.

None of the families or gangs present could withstand this force!

How many of these White Tiger Guard teams did they have?

Did the White Tiger tribe have such amazing strength?

Deep down, everyone was skeptical.

Clan Leader Chen exchanged glances with several people, stood up and asked, "Holy Maiden, forgive me for speaking frankly, since the White Tiger tribe is so powerful, do you really have no plans to take Gushan City?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly sank, and it felt as if coldness had solidified in the air.

Several young heirs were sweating on their backs.

The Chen family was too reckless, there were still fourth-rank experts at the table!

Little Jade Tiger occupied a table by himself, all kinds of food being sent into his mouth like flowing water.

Hu Lan slowly opened her mouth:

"My White Tiger clan lives in the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the south, where fifth-rank beasts are everywhere. This year is a year of disaster, beast riots are breaking out, and beast tides are enough to destroy everything. No one but my clan can stop them!

Gushan City's destiny is to suppress the underground Demon Cave, and my White Tiger clan's mission is to guard the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

You are good at managing towns, and we can utilize the resources in the mountains.

If we attack, we certainly can, but our clansmen will inevitably be injured, and then we will have to send people to guard the Demon Cave.

The nearby hundreds or thousands of camps and mines will also have to start learning how to manage from scratch, trade routes and trade lanes will have to be reopened, and we will also have to face the revenge of your remnant parties. If it were you, what would you choose?"

Everyone's faces softened slightly.

Analyzing from a point of view of profit made it more convincing.

Compared to controlling Gushan City at a considerable cost, the White Tiger tribe took away 12% of Gushan City's harvest with almost no cost, which was a truly good deal.

Looking at their unnatural expressions, Hu Lan added, "If you encounter a fourth-rank expert attacking the city, you can first hold them back, and wait for my tribe to come."

As soon as these words came out, the solidified atmosphere was swept away.

Clan Leader Chen raised his wine cup: "Thank you, Holy Maiden, for clearing up my doubts!"

With that, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

Fourth-rank experts couldn't be hired even with money.

Everyone knew their own business.

The three major families knew better than anyone whether there were any fourth-rank cultivators in Gushan City.

Of course, after the battle with Jade Tiger.

Everyone with discerning eyes could see that Gushan City's fourth-rank cultivators probably only had one!

Combined with rumors such as "The city lord wearing the iron crown is the real city lord."

It was not difficult for everyone to infer that there was probably something wrong with the city lord.

After this day, Tang Wen could basically walk sideways in the city.

Huang San, along with Huang Ke and the Huang family's direct son, whom Tang Wen had met last night, personally came to the door to apologize.

The faces of the latter two were swollen and had been beaten into pig heads.

The eyes were only left with a slit.

This matter was over, and both sides shook hands and made peace.

Tang Wen seemed to have really let it go, and the Huang family seemed to really believe it.

After that, he practiced martial arts during the day and took Hu Lan out to eat and stroll in the evening.

Occasionally, he would also go out of the city to see the scenery.

There were not many places worth seeing in the wasteland.

He lingered for several days.

On this day, the White Tiger tribe was finally about to leave.

Upon hearing this, all the major forces breathed a sigh of relief.

Blackwater Gang's Vice Gang Leader Zhao and Supreme Elder Zhou, along with 100 elites of the sixth-rank and transcendent level from the Blackwater Gang, Giant Rock Martial Hall, and the Chen family of the inner city, as well as 300 martial artists doing odd jobs.

Hundreds of all kinds of medium-level beasts, large and small, pulled carts loaded with thousands of pounds, and left Gushan City in a mighty manner, heading south.

Tang Wen rode a Sand Wolf, mixed in with the team.

As a high-level beast, the Sand Wolf looked ashamed, following behind a group of White Tigers, as docile as a little pug.

Only its four legs were trembling together. When Tang Wen first got on, he thought he was sitting on a rocking car!

Even this was considered good.

The other medium-level beasts acting as coolies had serious resistance.

When the White Tigers walked in front, they dared not step on the path the White Tigers had walked, and they would not walk even if the whips were broken.

When the White Tigers walked behind, they desperately ran forward and could not be stopped.

When the White Tigers soared into the air, they ran around in fright...

Helplessly, they could only let the White Tigers take off thousands of meters above.

Only then could they pull the car and travel normally.

Slap, "Look at how cowardly you are!"

Tang Wen jumped off the Sand Wolf and came to Hu Lan's side. He had no plans to go to the White Tiger tribe.

Regarding the separation, neither he nor Hu Lan showed anything. With the [Symbiotic Mirror] in hand, they could chat at any time.

"My White Tiger mount will stay with you, its name is Hu Qi."

Hu Lan patted her mount.

The little bean on the mount, one hand holding a roujiamo, the other hand holding a candied hawthorn, was eating happily.

Hearing her sister speak, she nimbly slid down, blinking her black grape-like eyes, looking at Tang Wen.

The little girl was called Hu Ya, her nickname was Yaya.

Because there were too many delicious things in Gushan City, she came to the city and ate from morning to night every day, and did not interact much with Tang Wen.

However, the little one knew that all the delicious things were given to her by this handsome brother.

This time, when she left, Tang Wen also gave her five - chefs.

"Hu Qi?"

Tang Wen didn't know how to complain.

Where wouldn't a fifth-rank beast be enshrined?

You just casually give people a name?

The White Tiger, white all over except for a golden "King" character on its forehead, raised its head and looked at Tang Wen.

There was no roar, it was mental transmission: "You can call me Auntie Qi or Mom Qi."

"Mom Qi?" Tang Wen was incredulous.

Hu Lan patted the White Tiger's head: "Don't listen to her, just like me, call her Sister Qi."

After speaking, she reluctantly rubbed the White Tiger's head: "Sister Qi is at the peak of the fifth-rank. Ordinary human fifth-rank peaks are not her match, she can protect you."

As for the other White Tiger that had been promised, it would have to wait until the White Tiger Guard stationed in Gushan City arrived before it could come together.

The two looked reluctant to part, as if they were lovers saying goodbye.

They chatted from morning to noon, the entire team left the city, and the Little Jade Tiger on Hu Lan's shoulder yawned impatiently.

Hu Lan then took her sister, sat on another White Tiger, and soared into the air on the spot.

Tang Wen stood on the ground and watched them off, the White Tiger's figure getting smaller and smaller until it turned into a black dot.

"You should have gone with them."

A faint fragrance came, and Shui Yun came to his side.

"I'll go in the summer. Sister Qi, how long will it take you to return to the tribe?"

The White Tiger's seemingly soft abdomen vibrated, making a low sound: "Seven days."

It would take a fifth-rank White Tiger seven days to travel, and it would take these teams transporting supplies at least dozens of days to arrive.

Tang Wen wasn't that free.

Hu Lan and the others wouldn't follow the transport team all the way, but would take a step ahead and wait for them on the periphery of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

The western city wall is being rebuilt.

Warriors and martial masters, carrying heavy stone blocks weighing several hundred pounds, climbed the high scaffolding with ease, as if they were exercising.

"Young Master, the gang has cleared out the backyard for you," the female housekeeper greeted him as he entered the house.

"Okay." Tang Wen opened his arms, and Liang Yu came over to take off his coat.

"We'll start demolition and reconstruction in the next two days. Um, would you like to take a look at the design drawings?"

Tang Wen didn't look and turned to say, "Give them to Seventh Sister and Senior White Tiger. That place will be its residence in the future."

It's perfectly normal for a fifth-grade exotic beast to have a separate yard.

When the time comes, the two yards will be connected, and it will still be one family.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Hmm?

The female housekeeper felt her wrist being pulled. She turned to meet Tang Wen's eyes and immediately understood: the young master needed to relax!

Her eyes lit up suddenly, something she had been looking forward to for a long time.

Thump, her knees hit the ground.

Liang Yu knelt down first, as if tying her shoelaces.

That slut is quick.

The female housekeeper cursed inwardly, unwilling to be outdone, and stepped forward.

Two hours later, the two mature and beautiful martial masters, exhausted from their exertions, fell into a deep sleep.

Tang Wen put on his clothes and went to the next bedroom.

Shui Yun had been there for half a day, passing the time by drinking alone in the room.

Tang Wen entered, she wrinkled her nose and poured a glass of wine.

On the table, a red clay stove was burning, and red meat was tumbling in a stone pot.

"Donkey meat from the desert, have some."

The two chatted like a couple of many years, discussing going to the White Tiger Tribe in the summer.

Tang Wen also briefly mentioned his trip out before the new year.

Shui Yun didn't care, thinking about how the Blackwater Gang should develop next: The White Tiger Tribe is in the south, so the Blackwater Gang's power should also expand southward.

"Junior Brother, let those Thirteen Bandits of the Sand Sea work under me, let them pave the way south..."

"Senior Sister, you really are all about your career."

However, he didn't dislike it.

After all, what belonged to Shui Yun was his.

The more Shui Yun talked, the more excited she became, wishing she could decide on the gang's development plan for the next five years tonight.

The only Tang Wen started yawning repeatedly, nodding continuously, until he was staring blankly and perfunctorily.

Hiss!

Shui Yun pinched him unhappily, "Go to sleep, I'm going back to make plans!"

After that night, Tang Wen's life returned to a regular routine.

Eating, practicing, sleeping in a tent... eating, practicing, sleeping in a tent...

Repeating the cycle, occasionally relaxing with Liang Yu and the female housekeeper Shui Mo.

In a flash, more than half a month passed.

On a sunny winter day, Tang Wen, who hadn't left the underground for a long time, was sunbathing and eating in the square when he suddenly stopped his chopsticks.

The Brown-Tailed Crow, which was reorganizing the crow team in the mountains, sent back an image of a section of black vines exposed on the snow-covered mountainside.

"Caw, caw caw"

The Brown-Tailed Crow was in high spirits, extremely excited.

"What is this?"

It seemed to be some kind of medicinal herb that had been growing for decades.

Bang!

Snowflakes splashed.

A thick arm stretched out from the snow, and a burly man wearing animal skins stood up from the snow.

Huang Shiqi Lang?

Tang Wen couldn't help but be surprised.

He grabbed the vines and burrowed back into the snow.

Gusts of wind mixed with snow drifted by, and the place returned to a neat state, without even a footprint to be seen.

No wonder the people from the Giant Rock Martial Arts Hall couldn't find him.

Hmm, should I reveal the location to them?

No, if a fifth-grade expert takes action, Huang Shiqi will definitely be captured alive.

With the [Heart-Questioning Stone] in existence, he will definitely tell the truth.

I might be exposed!

His eyes turned cold, and he made a decision in his heart.
