Strange Tales: The Yin-Yang Celestial Master

It's a pity that Ao Feng came to say goodbye to the tiger before it could take shape.

"Ah Hu, I have to leave for a while..."

"where to?"

"Go and do Yuan Ling a favor."

He wanted to open his mouth to ask why he wanted to help, but he was afraid that Ao Feng would be unhappy, so the tiger had to ask aggrievedly, "How long will it be?"

"Almost..." Facing those pitiful golden eyes, the second prince felt guilty for some reason, "Maybe 100 years."

100 years? !The tiger let out a dissatisfied "wow" and put its big head into his arms. Finally, it couldn't hold back, and said carefully: "The day you fought with Zhulong, I saw Yuan Ling and him. They were holding hands..."

"I know." Ao Feng interrupted it softly, with a disappointed tone, but not as sad as he imagined, "I know it's impossible, but as a friend, I want to help him as much as I can. Besides, it's not all For him..." The last sentence was too soft, the tiger didn't hear it clearly, and didn't pay attention to it, it was now full of the cruel fact that it won't see Ao Feng for 100 years, although it really wanted to tell Ao Feng The wind doesn't want to go, but it knows that can't change anything.

After being coquettish for a while, the smell of sea water on Aofeng's body was firmly imprinted in his heart, then he raised his head and said seriously: "I'll wait for you to come back."

"Stupid tiger." Ao Feng laughed and scolded it for its stubbornness as always, but his heart was warm and a little sour, and he felt that he should tell it not to be stupid, to live his own life, and he would look for it when he came back. , but hesitated again and again, and he was still reluctant to say this, as if if he said it, he would lose something.In the end, he just patted its furry head, "Yeah."

The tiger insisted on staying on the coast to watch him leave. Ao Feng walked a long way, and when he looked back, he could still recognize it at a glance—the golden figure was motionless, and it was very conspicuous under the blue sea and blue sky.It wasn't until the second prince disappeared completely that the tiger stood up and walked slowly towards the forest along the coastline.

Under the cover of the green trees, the colorful giant tiger turned its head and took a deep look at the sea.

In another 100 years, when we meet again next time, it will definitely stand beside that person with the same posture.

...

In the 100 years since Ao Feng became the guardian soul dew of clam shells, in order to pass the time, he fell asleep most of the time.Under the infiltration of the pure spiritual energy of the soul dew, even if you don't do anything, you can still feel that the impurities in your body are being purified little by little, and your spiritual power is much purer than before.

During the few waking hours, he would think of Yuan Ling at first, and then he couldn't help but think of that bad-tempered Zhulong. Only then did he feel afraid of his youthful recklessness—even though there was no one in Donghai who could be his opponent, but Compared with the ancient god Zhulong, his magic power is still not enough at all. The last time he fought, it was indeed Zhulong who was merciful, otherwise there would be no second prince of the East China Sea.

Probably in his eyes, he is just a reckless young man, and he can't be included in the category of opponents.

The blood of the youthful spirit gradually cooled down in the daze day after day, and he began to understand that his nostalgia for Yuan Ling may be more of the dragon's natural closeness to pure treasures. After getting acquainted with it, he discovered this People are unexpectedly easy to get along with, and they are different from the people he met before, so intimacy and longing are mixed together, resulting in an ignorant longing like first love.

After figuring this out, he felt a sudden lightness in his heart, as if he had unloaded a burden that he hadn't even figured out how to carry, and his restless heart slowly calmed down.

In the following days, I wake up every day in a daze, check my spiritual power to see how much it has been purified, and then run it for a few weeks to be considered as a practice. In the rest of the time, the appearance of a tiger begins to become more and more appeared in his mind.I don't know what happened to that stubborn stupid tiger. If I'm not here, will it eat well?Have you ever been bullied by other mountain elves?Did you practice hard?Can it be transformed?

These questions went back and forth in my mind. 100 years is not a long time for the Dragon Clan, but for a tiger that has not yet transformed into a spirit, it may be a long time full of hardships. It is hard to say whether it can survive.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but worry.

One day, he suddenly had a dream.

The tiger in the dream was still on the beach where we bid farewell, but it was so hungry that it was skinny and scarred.Those translucent golden animal pupils seemed to have lost their brilliance, and the eyelids were weakly stretched open, revealing only a slit.

Ao Feng woke up suddenly, feeling uneasy in his heart, calculating that the 100-year agreement has almost come to an end, but Yuan Ling has not yet appeared.The scene in the dream was like a shadow looming over his heart, he couldn't sit still anymore, after much deliberation he decided to go out to find Yuan Ling, return the soul dew as soon as possible, and then hurried back to see that stupid tiger.

After finishing his work, he didn't even return to the Dragon Palace, so he rushed directly to the beach.After a lapse of 100 years, I set foot on the familiar beach again, but I couldn't see the familiar figure in my eyes.

A sense of loss permeated his heart, and Ao Feng was slightly taken aback.It has been 100 years, and the tiger may have left this place long ago. For monsters, it is normal to migrate and transfer territories following natural changes. I know it clearly, so why am I still so disappointed?

Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard a voice from far to near——

"wind!"

Before he could react, he had already been bumped firmly. The huge momentum made him lean back, and he fell to the ground. The culprit also recklessly jumped down and hugged him tightly. The strong iron arm hurt him.

"I'm sorry! There is a happy event in the city today, I was too late to watch the excitement!"

"..." Ao Feng pushed him away with great difficulty, and then he saw the other person's appearance clearly—this is an unusually tall man, with a strong figure and full of strength, healthy wheat-colored skin, and a mess of short black hair, but for him Added a bit of wildness, a face like a knife, with profound features, firm lines, and golden pupils, hidden under the two sword eyebrows, emitting a frightening light.He was only wearing a gorgeous tiger-skin gown without laces. Although he was wearing trousers underneath, his upper body was wide open, revealing a strong chest full of explosive power.

And when Ao Feng pushed him away, his hand was just pressing on the chest of the red fruit. When the second prince realized this, he quickly withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and asked uncomfortably, "Who are you?"

Different from his aggressive appearance, the man pulled him up very gently and patted the sand off his clothes naturally, with an aggrieved expression on his wild face: "Feng...you don't know me anymore ?”

The pitiful golden eyes overlapped with the memory for an instant, and Ao Feng opened his eyes wide in surprise, "You are... Ah Hu?!"

"It's me." Seeing that he finally recognized himself, the man smiled heartily.

Ao Feng couldn't help taking half a step back, looked him up and down, still squeezed his arm in disbelief, picked up the tiger skin robe and touched it, the outside of the robe was black and gold with tiger stripes, it was smooth and shiny to the touch , but the inside is pure white short hair, very soft, just like the down on a tiger's belly.

The man stood obediently and let him pinch, Ao Feng was both surprised and delighted, unable to recover for a long time.The tiger's heart was itchy from being touched, he glanced at him secretly, and couldn't help but hugged him gently again.Different from the intimacy in the beast form, now both are in human form, and the tiger is half a head taller than Ao Feng, this hug is like wrapping Ao Feng in his arms, all of them are males The second prince, who has always been calm, couldn't help but blush.

Fortunately, the other party let go of him in time. In order to cover up his embarrassment, Ao Feng quickly changed the subject: "You said you were late today, don't you..."

"Yeah, I come here every day to see if you're back." Tiger answered quickly, but his eyes that were supposed to be cold and sharp were now shining brightly, with a bit of earnestness, and insisted stubbornly: "I said I would wait for you to come back."

Looking at him unabashedly with his eager and focused eyes, which clearly reflected his appearance, Ao Feng suddenly felt that his heart seemed to be beating a little faster.

Speaking of this, the tiger scratched his head embarrassedly, and seemed a little annoyed: "I wanted you to see me as soon as you came back, but I didn't expect it to be too late."

Ao Feng laughed, and couldn't help reaching out to rub his head, "It's okay."

This gesture was what they used to do when expressing intimacy, so Ao Feng did it very naturally. Naturally, it took a while for him to realize that the other party was no longer a big tiger. The current tiger is a human being, and he is even taller than him. Man, such an action is obviously inappropriate.But the man happily lowered his head to let him rub it, as if he didn't mind at all.

"By the way!" Ao Feng then remembered the most important thing, and took out a elixir from his sleeve, "This is the Hunyuan Pill I begged from Zhulong, it is very useful for improving the skill, especially the transformation... ..." At this point, the voice stopped abruptly, Ao Feng was stunned for a moment, and slowly lowered his eyes and said: "I even forgot that you can already transform..." Realizing this, the tone was not as enthusiastic as before, and he was quite lonely He lowered his hand silently, and silently put the pill back into his sleeve.

The man looked at him, and suddenly changed back to the appearance of a colorful giant tiger, sitting in front of him as before, and opened his mouth foolishly.

Ao Feng froze for a moment, the big tiger in front of him still opened his mouth stubbornly, as if waiting for something.He suddenly understood, and a hot current surged in his heart, he smiled, and put the pill squarely into the tiger's mouth.The tiger swallowed it whole without any hesitation, and finally nodded his head and commented seriously: "It's delicious."

"...Silly tiger" Ao Feng leaned over and hugged its big head, his voice was choked up.He didn't tell it that he had the cheek to bargain with Zhulong in exchange for the reward for protecting the soul dew. For some reason, at this moment, all the perseverance, loneliness and grievances of the past century disappeared, and he didn't regret it at all.

The tiger seemed to feel something, put its big head into Ao Feng's arms, and asked sweetly: "The wind is for me, right?"

Ao Feng opened his mouth, he wanted to explain, but felt that it would be hypocritical to say too much, so he stopped talking.

Tiger stood up and licked his face.Ao Feng couldn't help thinking, fortunately this is the original form, if the human form is still like this... Immediately, the second prince's ears turned red from his brain.

At this moment, a black and strong man ran towards them, and before he got there, he shouted anxiously: "My lord, everything you want is ready!"

Ao Feng looked at the big man, then turned to the tiger, "Is this your friend?"

"What friend, he's my younger brother." Tiger said triumphantly, but Ao Feng pinched his ear, "Don't say that."

This is the first time I saw the black man who was taught by the boss: (￣△￣;)

Ao Feng turned around and smiled at the stunned person, "Hi, I'm Ao Feng."

Before the big man could react, he repeated blankly: "Feng..." Before he finished speaking, he was beaten on the head by the king who turned back into a human form, "You can call Feng? It's Mr. Ao!"

"...Young Master Ao."

Satisfied, the tiger happily said to Ao Feng: "Feng, I'm going to catch a boar, can you roast it for me like before?"

Seeing his expression of a child asking for candy, Ao Feng couldn't help but smiled and agreed.

"I'll be back soon, you can take a stroll around, this is my territory, it's safe." After talking to Ao Feng, the tiger turned around and immediately changed his face, and solemnly told the big man: "You have to protect Wind, if there is any danger, rush up and block in front."

"..." The big man nodded obediently.

Only then did the tiger return to its original shape, and it ran away without a trace in two or three strokes.After eating the Hunyuan Pill, he found that his dantian was hot, and now he was running twice as fast as before.He stopped in doubt, and tried to use his tail to swipe the big stone next to him, which was as tall as a person. The tiger tail smashed the stone into pieces as easily as an iron whip.

He stood up and regained his human form, looked down at his hands, and could clearly feel the power under the skin, more abundant, purer, and lighter than before—it looked like he had gained a hundred years of skill for nothing, Is it because of the Hunyuan Pill?

Thinking of Hunyuan Pill and thinking of Ao Feng, Feng asked for it specially for him, the man laughed foolishly, turned back into a tiger, and jumped into the depths of the forest.He still has to hunt, so hurry up, don't let the wind starve.

Here, Ao Feng walked aimlessly along the coast, followed by that simple and honest black man.The latter rubbed his hands in embarrassment, sneaking a glance at him from time to time, looking like he wanted to talk but didn't know how to speak, Ao Feng was amused, so he took the initiative to chat with him.

"Just now Ah Hu said that this is his territory, how big is this territory?"

The big man hurriedly said: "From the sea in the east to the human city in the west, the north and south stretch for thousands of miles—" He pointed to the lush mountains and forests in the distance, "This large area is entirely the king's territory!" , looking proud.

Ao Feng smiled and said, "I don't know your name yet, how should I call you?"

The big man scratched his head embarrassingly, "I'm a beast in the mountains, so I don't have a name, just call me a black bear."

It turned out to be a black bear spirit.Ao Feng nodded and joked, "Does Ah Hu often bully you?"

The black bear spirit quickly shook his head to express his loyalty: "Your Majesty is very kind to us! This mountain forest was originally chaotic, and everyone fought fiercely for territory, but they were all suppressed by the King. Thanks to his shelter, no foreign fairies dare to come Invasion, we can live a stable life."

Ao Feng was slightly surprised, the usual behavior of the tiger in front of him always made him think it was naive and coquettish, but he did not expect it to be deeply admired here.

After getting acquainted a bit, the black bear spirit is no longer embarrassed, and mysteriously leans over to ask Ao Feng, "Young Master Ao, you have such a good relationship with our king, do you know who his sweetheart is?"

"Sweetheart?" Ao Feng was startled.

"That's right!" Black Bear nodded, with a gossip expression on his face, "The king always said that he has someone on top of his heart, but we want to meet, and he said it's not yet time, but we are so curious !"

Hearing this, Ao Feng felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was overwhelmed with complex emotions, which made him stunned for a while, before slowly replying: "...I don't know."

"Even you don't know." Hei Xiong Jing was a little disappointed. He didn't expect the boss to be so tight-lipped that he didn't even tell Ao Feng. He started gossiping: "The king is going to the city today. Let me buy a set like the new houses of human beings, I thought good things were coming soon! But I don’t know who the bride is..."

Ao Feng felt as if his throat was choked by something, and he couldn't speak - Tiger had a sweetheart and was about to get married...why didn't he tell him?When I had a good impression of Yuan Ling back then, I was the first one to tell the tiger. Could it be that they are so unfamiliar after 100 years of separation?Thinking of Tiger's sweetheart, he felt dull, a little blocked, unspeakably sad.

He didn't pay attention to what the black bear said next, until the tiger came back dragging a huge boar, he was still immersed in his own thoughts.

"Feng! It's been cleaned up, let's roast it~" Hu Xianbao handed the boar pork to Ao Feng.

But Ao Feng was a little absent-minded, and the barbecue he was always good at was burnt in several places. Fortunately, the tiger didn't care, as long as he could eat with Feng, even if it was grass, he would be happy.When the meat was roasted, Ao Feng didn't have much interest in eating it. The tiger held up the pork leg and shook it in front of his eyes a few times before he came back to his senses. The man felt something was wrong and asked worriedly: "Feng, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Subconsciously turned his gaze away, avoiding the other party's gaze. Ao Feng didn't know why, but felt restless and bored, and didn't want to talk to him.The tiger didn't know what happened, so he cut off pieces of meat anxiously to please him, but it was useless.

Ao Feng sat sullenly for a while, but felt that there was no place in his body that was comfortable, and he couldn't stay any longer, so he stood up and said, "I'm going back first, I haven't spoken to my father after leaving for so long, you eat slowly." .”

"Wind!" Tiger hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, "Why do you want to leave suddenly? Can you leave after eating?"

Ao Feng shook his head, with complex lights flashing in his eyes, he turned his head to look at the tiger, and took a deep breath: "When you... get married, Dragon Palace will naturally send congratulatory gifts, so I won't come."

The tiger was stunned. Ao Feng had never spoken to him in such a distant tone. After he heard what the other party was saying, the tall man suddenly showed a panicked expression. What kind of plans do you have for him, so you leave in a hurry, "No! No! Feng... listen to me!"

But Ao Feng flicked his sleeves, shook his hands away, and disappeared into the sea in an instant, without a trace.

"Wind—" the man stood by the sea and shouted, but got no response.This is the first time, as if he is about to lose an important treasure, his heart is empty, he is anxious, angry and puzzled, he was fine before leaving, the wind was still smiling at him, why did he become like this when he came back ?Could it be—

He turned around abruptly and yelled at the black bear spirit: "What the hell did you say?!"

The black bear man had never seen the king's angry appearance before, and he was trembling with fright, and stammered: "No, I didn't say anything..."

"Didn't you say he would mention my marriage?" The tiger grabbed the big man by the collar, with a storm brewing in his eyes.

"Get married..." The big man thought for a while in panic. He didn't dare to tell the boss about his private affairs, but now he doesn't dare to hide it. "I just asked Mr. Aofeng, do you know who the king's sweetheart is?" who……"

The golden pupils suddenly tightened, "What did he say?"

"He said, said he didn't know... I also said that today the king asked us to buy things for the wedding. I don't know if we are going to marry the sweetheart..."

"and then?"

"Then... Then he ignored me..." Black Bear lowered his head aggrievedly, "I didn't do it on purpose, Your Majesty, punish me."

But the tiger didn't listen to what he was saying, and was only caught in his own thoughts - so, Ao Feng probably didn't know what he was thinking, but why was he still angry?Is it because you didn't tell him?Ao Feng's look before he left suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and the emotion in his eyes was obscure.

——"When you... get married, Dragon Palace will naturally send congratulatory gifts, so I won't come."

When he said this, his tone was forbearance, clearly with sourness.

Is it...?

The golden eyes lit up instantly, and the black bear next to him was still cautiously asking: "How about I apologize to Mr. Ao and tell him not to be angry with the king?"

"No need," Tiger interrupted him, with a smile that was inevitable: "I'll go by myself."
