Chapter 95: If Time Could Stop at the Moment We First Met

Since he had already exposed himself, then he would try to keep Silly Girl a secret.

At the very least, it could delay the humans from knowing about her breakthrough for a while.

It might not be of any use, but what if, right?

It wasn’t troublesome anyway. Wang Hu didn’t mind doing something in passing, one that didn’t cause him any loss.

Half a minute after he did that, the various countries’ highly technologically-advanced surveillance centers discovered the unusual situation and picked up on the huge commotion.

However, thanks to Wang Hu’s power providing cover, the satellites could only detect a golden light curtain. They didn’t know what had happened underneath the golden light curtain at all.

Putting aside their immediate reports to the higher-ups, about a minute later, an earth-shattering tiger roar rang out with a boom underneath the golden curtain.

Roar~!

A tiger roar filled with domineering and awe-inspiring might blasted the mountains, the reverberations seemingly causing even the mountains to shake and quiver.

What appeared together with it was a 100-meter-tall hologram of a huge white tiger roaring into the sky.

That ancient, holy, awe-inspiring, and domineering aura pervaded the air as though she was the one and only overlord there.

Even the golden light curtain that Wang Hu had created with his divine power was starting to shake from the impact, and it looked awfully unstable.

Wang Hu was a little alarmed. What strong and powerful might this was. On top of that, the bloodline actually made even him feel as though he had been suppressed.

This delighted him even more, however. At once, he increased the intensity of his power and stabilized the golden light curtain.

The more outstanding Silly Girl was, the more excited he grew. After all, that was his wife and his children’s mother.

An even bigger reason was that he had the self-confidence that he could handle it.

Under the circumstances where he was capable of handling it, the more outstanding his wife was, the more excited he would naturally be.

Suddenly, as though the holographic white tiger’s eyes had become sentient, it stopped roaring and looked at the golden light curtain. Hints of battle spirit emerged.

Instantly, in an uncontrollable manner, as though the great rivers that flowed endlessly…

Roar~!

It let out yet another long roar. Prompted by the upsurge of battle spirit, it brazenly attacked. The huge tiger hologram raised its paw and struck the golden light curtain. Intense white light appeared and shot through the air with a razor-sharp aura.

The moment the sight entered his vision, Wang Hu’s eyebrow twitched, and he was rendered somewhat speechless.

Evidently, that Silly Girl thought that she was powerful enough now after she had broken through to the Divine Body Realm and awakened a powerful bloodline.

To think she was actually so eagerly challenging him to avenge her past defeats…

He mustn’t back down at all, of course. He didn’t mind giving in to Silly Girl verbally, but when it came to their combat strength, he absolutely mustn’t.

Otherwise, wouldn’t Silly Girl get way ahead of herself?

Besides, if he was really weaker than Silly Girl, then how was he supposed to tickle her fancy? How was he supposed to conquer her?

As for the problem of how their fight might let the various countries around the world find out that Silly Girl had also broken through—in comparison, it wasn’t an issue at all.

So what even if they found out?

His wife was simply so outstanding, so much so that no one else could compare to her. They could just die of envy.

Roar~!

With a soft roar, Wang Hu activated Extreme Agility Time. Like a beam of light, he went up into the sky in an instant and stood in mid-air.

As his palm closed together, the golden light curtain immediately flowed backward and retracted fully into his palm.

With both special abilities fully activated, his divine power circulated at a speed so fast that it went beyond the average Divine Body Realm cultivator’s imagination, all of it collecting in his palm at the end.

He didn’t transform back into the tiger form. Just like that, he stood there in a calm, composed, and incredibly confident manner as he watched the white tiger hologram charge toward him.

A look of fury came over the huge white tiger hologram’s eyes. As if it felt slighted, its might grew even further by a notch.

A confident and determined smile formed at the corners of Wang Hu’s lips.

It doesn’t matter if the rain has stopped, the skies have cleared up, and you thought you’re powerful enough again; your husband will always tell you that he is ultimately still your husband and will always be on top of you.

His palm struck downward, coincidentally colliding with the huge tiger hologram.

Boom!

Instantly, a shocking boom scattered the clouds within 50 kilometers of where they were. Golden and white light blocked out everything and rose from the horizon like a miniature sun, lighting up the whole area within several hundred kilometers.

A round of circular residual energy waves mixed with golden and white light rippled through the surroundings ruthlessly, sweeping through mountain after mountain.

All the mountains in its wake were sundered without any obstruction.

The mountains lamented as alarm and horror filled the beasts.

Earthquakes were everywhere, and the place looked like the very picture of doomsday itself.

All the leaders and related personnel of all the major countries in the world were flabbergasted, their eyes glued to the sight.

All of a sudden, the golden light curtain disappeared, and an astounding sight appeared.

God-like power!

In addition to the figure of that god-like man, as well as the hologram of a huge white tiger!

Light flickered even in the eyes of Dong Pingtao and the others who had the most thorough understanding of the situation.

That figure… was that the Tiger King?

If so, then that must be the human transformation, no, Dao form transformation mentioned in the legacies!

Was that huge white tiger the Tiger Queen?

Doubts and questions surfaced in their minds. Dong Pingtao immediately ordered his subordinates to analyze what the most likely situation was.

At this point, changes started to take place in the bi-colored, miniature sun-like golden and white light.

The golden light shone brighter and brighter, gradually suppressing the white light.

Roar~!

The huge white tiger hologram refused to admit defeat, its fighting spirit continuing to blaze. An even stronger power started to stir in the mountains below and got ready to charge into the air.

A confident and composed smile remained on Wang Hu’s countenance. Little by little, he forced the huge white tiger hologram down in an unhurried manner while also preparing to welcome an even stronger blast of power.

Suddenly—

Roar~!

“Mommy! Mommy! Big Treasure misses you so much!”

“Mommy! Little Treasure misses you even more. Little Treasure misses you more than Big Treasure does.”

“No, Big Treasure misses you more. Big Treasure misses you more than Little Treasure does.”

…

There was no fear in the two little fellows’ young, childish voices. Like a spring breeze, they immediately assuaged the battle spirit that was becoming fiercer and fiercer.

The huge white tiger hologram glared fiercely at Wang Hu before vanishing from sight indignantly.

An unconcerned Wang Hu smiled triumphantly. He had gotten the upper hand again, hadn’t he?

Thinking of stepping all over your husband? No way.

With a wave, another golden light curtain appeared 50 kilometers in the air and blocked out the view.

After calming his emotions, he landed beside Big Treasure and Little Treasure and gazed at the cave in anticipation and excitement.

Suddenly, an eager yet also somewhat fearful feeling arose in him as he stared hard at the mouth of the cave.

A few seconds later, a figure walked out of the cave.

In that instant, Wang Hu froze all over, and he felt as if the world had lit up!

He was also smitten.

It was a figure with a tall, slender, and perfect body. She was covered in white robes and had a red coat draped over her. Embroidered on it was the pattern of a white tiger.

Long white glossy hair cascaded down her shoulders, and she wore a simple golden crown-like accessory on her head.

Succinct, domineering, awe-inspiring… also somewhat cool and ruthless.

And that face…

She had a snowy-white complexion that was perfect and flawless. As though the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was contained in a single vessel, it struck one right in the heart. Her beauty was not to be described with mere words.

She carried a subtle frosty air around her, which was complemented by her domineering and mighty aura and her simple clothes.

Wang Hu was smitten. He had never seen such beauty before. With just a single glance, he had become infatuated. His mind was completely blank except for one thought: ‘That’s my wife.’

Roar~!

“Mommy!”

Big Treasure and Little Treasure’s delighted voices rang out. As though the tolling bells of dawn and dusk, they brought Wang Hu back to reality with a start. All sorts of thoughts surged in his mind at once.

‘If time could stop at the moment when we first met[1]…

‘…only to find her standing in the shadow of the light[2]…

‘Women are trouble…

‘That she outshone in six palaces the fairest face[3]…

‘The female emperor of a lifetime lives…

‘From the north comes a ravishing maiden. Her beauty falls cities and collapses empires[4]…

‘Her beauty falls the swallows and sinks the fishes, and her beauty hides the moon and puts the flowers to shame…’

…

Ah, ptooey, all of those lines couldn’t describe how beautiful Wang Hu thought Silly Girl was in this very instant.

He regretted very much at this point, not memorizing more poems and studying more literature in school back then—leading to him to search through his mind and rack his brains only to actually feel like only a series of ‘what the f*ck’ could best describe Silly Girl’s beauty in this instant.

Practically overflowing with beauty, she was so gorgeous that it broke all the rules, making him feel all the more like breaking the law.

At the sight of the two cheering little fellows rushing over to her, at once, it was as though his body wasn’t his anymore, and he also involuntarily strode over.

Although she was still rather indignant and chagrined, Di Baijun nevertheless quickly walked out of the cave with a heart full of anticipation and longing.

It had been so long since she last saw Big Treasure and Little Treasure. She couldn’t help but wonder how well that jerk had been taking care of them.

Moreover, that jerk, too. Hmph, after she met Big Treasure and Little Treasure, she would definitely have a good sparring session with him.

This time, I’m going to teach him a good lesson.

The sight of Big Treasure and Little Treasure entered her vision when she reached the mouth of the cave. They still looked the same as ever.

That jerk…

Hmph, he surprisingly does look pretty decent.

Half a second… one second… one and a half seconds…

Her cool and aloof gaze couldn’t help but quietly flicker a little. She felt a little annoyed as she looked at Big Treasure and Little Treasure. What was that jerk looking at?

Another one and a half seconds passed.

Hmph. How dare you continue to stare at me?

I’ll definitely give you a black eye later.

At the sight of Big Treasure and Little Treasure cheering as they rushed over to her, she quickly adjusted her emotions, and her slightly-frosty gorgeous visage blossomed.

In this second, it was as though the frozen rivers had melted, and the world itself paled in comparison.

It titillated Wang Hu so much that his heart skipped a few beats.

“Big Treasure, Little Treasure.” Gentleness surfaced in Di Baijun’s eyes. She spread her arms and caressed the heads of the two little tigers who had dived into her arms and were close to tears.

“There, there. Don’t cry. Mommy’s here.”

Roar~!

“Mommy, Big Treasure (Little Treasure) misses Mommy.”

The two little fellows spoke on and off, their voices sounding as though they were close to tears. Suddenly, Di Baijun spotted the jerk who was also going to dive toward her, with his arms spread open and a sincere look of longing on his face. At once, panic welled up in her. She felt like she was at a complete loss and almost froze on the spot.

Fortunately, her bossy nature instinctively took effect, and she threw him a cold and fierce glare.

Subjected to her glare, Wang Hu naturally retracted his open arms without any hint of embarrassment when he came up to her. As though nothing had happened at all and with a sincere look mixed with some longing on his face, he said calmly, “Baijun, you’ve come out of seclusion.”

An inexplicable urge to smile formed in Di Baijun’s heart for some reason. She nearly lost control of herself and quickly looked away.

Hmph, I don’t feel like paying that jerk any attention.

Her exquisite and delicate chin lifted slightly as she continued to comfort the two little fellows.

Wang Hu was rather disappointed. He still wasn’t skilled enough yet!

He didn’t manage to hug her.

He secretly glared at Big Treasure and Little Treasure. It was those two little fellows’ fault. Had they not been present, he would have been able to go along with the momentum and give her a hug.

It was fine even if she hit him. It didn’t hurt anyway so she could do as she pleased.

Unfortunately, those two little fellows were around. For better or for worse, he was still their father after all. He mustn’t embarrass himself in front of his children. What if Silly Girl sent him flying with a kick? Did he still need his dignity or not?

Alas, he could only suppress the urge. He secretly took a breath and suppressed the burning passion and excitement in his heart.

Steady yourself. Don’t get carried away.

She’s your wife and your children’s mother. Take it slow. What will ultimately be yours will be yours.
