Indeed, what a girl paid the most attention to would eternally be the question of whether they were fat, even though Huang Tielan didn’t look fat at all… uhm, okay, putting it that way would be going against his conscience. A little fat was fine, however. It looked more pleasing to the eye!

(Ed. Note: No, no, this isn’t sexist at all…)

Zhang Che was amused by Huang Tielan’s slow reaction. He decided to put on airs, saying, “Let’s go find a quiet room first. I’ll tell you what this is later.”

“Gosh, Zhang Xiaoche, you’re getting bolder by the day!” Huang Tielan looked at Zhang Che in disbelief, then glanced towards the sleeping bag in his arms. Her expression seemed to convey her disbelief at his behavior. Afterwards, her cheeks flushed red, saying indistinctly, “Are boys always thinking about those things? I know it’s hard for you, but promise me, wait until we’re married, okay?”

Zhang Che staggered, nearly falling. -Am I someone like that?-

He reached out and tousled Huang Tielan’s head, not knowing whether to be angry or amused. He said, “What are you thinking with that brain of yours? This is your house; I wouldn’t dare even if you said yes! Who do I blame if your dad returns and break my legs? Hurry, let’s go to a quiet room. I have something good for you!”

Done speaking, he pointed to the bulging sleeping bag.

-So I was mistaken…- Huang Tielan was embarrassed! Her cheeks turned even redder.

But, her attention was quickly drawn by Zhang Che. She raised her arm and compared herself with Zhang Che, exclaiming in surprise, “Eh? Zhang Xiaoche, you grew taller again. You seem to be just a little taller than me now!”

Zhang Che was thoroughly defeated by Huang Tielan’s strange train of thoughts. He directly wrapped his arm around Miss Tienan’s shoulder and pulled her away.

“Come on, let’s go check out what I brought you!”

It was only then that Huang Tielan believed Zhang Che really had something to discuss with her. She hurriedly brought him into a quiet guest room located at the front courtyard of the ancestral house.

“Zhang Xiaoche, what exactly is in this sleeping bag?” Huang Tielan asked, her gaze falling on the sleeping bag in Zhang Che’s arms, showing a curious look.

“No hurries. Wait until I’m out before you open it to see.”

Zhang Che directly put the sleeping bag on the bed and walked out quickly, even closing the door.

Huang Tielan’s surprised exclamation was immediately heard from inside the room, “Woah, what a cute little white tiger! Hm? This boy actually has two pairs of wings! How strange! Oh, his eyes aren’t open yet… Hah, you actually opened them just as I mentioned it! Here, here, let me give you a kiss…”

Zhang Che slapped his forehead speechlessly. People really couldn’t compare to one another. Did she complete the acknowledgment of master already?

Wasn’t it said that baby exotic beasts didn’t acknowledge their master easily?

It seemed like this girl had a natural familiarity about her, making a baby exotic beast subconsciously rely on her right when they opened their eyes!

-Luckily when I found this little Four-winged White Tiger, this little fellow had yet to open his eyes fully before he was put into the sleeping bag. Otherwise, if he saw me first, would he immediately acknowledge me like it did to Miss Tienan?

-It seems very unlikely…-

The door was pulled open with a creak. Huang Tielan walked out of the room, carrying a big cat-sized little white tiger in her arms with an excited smile.

“Thank you, Zhang Xiaoche. My Caihong finally has a companion now!”

The little white tiger laid his head against Huang Tielan’s chest, his eyes shut in contentment. Sensing the attention from Zhang Che’s gaze, he couldn’t help but open his eyes, roaring out in a low, immature voice.

Zhang Che rolled his eyes back, feeling like had he carried this little beast all this way for nothing.

Huang Tielan immediately caressed the white tiger’s head and said gently, “Don’t cry out, Xiaobai. This is big brother Zhang Che. He’s also your family from now on!” {TLN: Xiaobai means Little White.}

Zhang Che interrupted, “Wait. Can I not be his brother?”

Huang Tielan looked up at him in confusion.

Zhang Che chuckled, “Tell him to call me daddy!”

Huang Tielan raised her long leg and kicked towards Zhang Che, “You’re looking to die, Zhang Xiaoche! Taking advantage of me again!”

Zhang Che ran off, bursting out in laughter. He teased, “Isn’t this just a matter of when? Haha, let’s just leave it at that!”

——

After completing the little Four-winged White Tiger’s acknowledgment of master, Zhang Che and Huang Tielan went to the villa his mother stayed at and had a warm, comfy dinner together, before returning to the Huang family’s ancestral house.

Huang Juyun had arrived!

“Xiaoche, we’ve investigated this matter clearly.”

In the study, Huang Juyun and Zhang Che sat opposite one another, each with a cup of hot tea placed in front of them.

Huang Juyun took a sip of tea and slowly said, “The Tri Special Intelligence Bureau, which is the department Zhen Manting manages, had a mole. Via spying on your personal terminal, he learned about me sending a jet to fetch you, then contacted a suicide warrior hiding within the army and rushed to the icy plains before my man.”

“Zhen Manting has already delivered that spy to me. There are people interrogating him right now. At present, what we know is that the ones targeting you are Japanese. It’s unclear exactly which faction they belong to. More interrogating needs to be done before we’ll find out.”

Zhang Che was silent for a while. He suddenly asked, “Then, did Zhen Manting find out BEFORE, or AFTER the matter?”

This was crucial. If it was the former, it meant that Zhen Manting allowed the spy to stir trouble. Although it wasn’t like she owed Zhang Che anything, it clearly showed them the true face of a potential enemy.

If it was the latter, there wasn’t anything to be said. They just needed to maintain their caution against that woman.

Huang Juyun shook his head, smiling bitterly, “I’m not sure, either. But, you don’t have to be too worried about Zhen Manting in Hua Xia. Although we have conflicts, she won’t target or do anything against you directly.”

Zhang Che nodded. Actually, he wasn’t afraid of being targeted. He was more worried about them playing tricks. Those were the hardest to guard against.

Take this incident, for example. If Zhen Manting had learned of the spy’s actions beforehand and played along with it and apprehended the spy afterwards, who could possibly fault her for it?

-Damn it, I hate this kind of scheming the most! Hopefully that woman won’t come find trouble or play anymore tricks in the future. If she really pushed me into a corner, I’ll directly slaughter my way to her, not giving a shit!- Zhang Che cursed inside. He wasn’t afraid of such nonsense. If she really drove him mad, at the most he’d just put on a new face and slaughter his way to her house. Who would know he was the culprit?

With the Myriad Transformation Lizard card, Zhang Che wasn’t afraid of anyone!
