Chapter 1657 “Snow Lotus, Snow Moon (1)”

“Let’s go.” Chu Yi Yi rubs her shivering arms, “we need to hurry, the sun looks like its about to set. I don’t want to be out here in the middle of the night.”
“Mhmm.” Huang Xiao Ying the tigress whimpers in support, following closely behind the two so they won’t be lost a second time.
Fortunately the city in question wasn’t that far from their location. Before long, the party had come upon a sign with the name Ice Realm clearly written on the surface.
“Watch out!”
Chu Yi Yi had only taken the first step after seeing the sign when a loud hollering cry caught their attention from the forefront. Looking up, they could see a frantic Three Stripe Tiger speeding towards their location with another girl trying to give chase from the rear. It’s obvious this out of control tiger belonged to that anxious looking girl who’s crying and calling for it stop.
“Yi Yi, Xiaoyun, both of you step aside!” Huang Xiao Ying’s expression got all serious and hurriedly pushed her two companions away to act as a shield for this rampaging animal.
“You stand right there!” She locks onto the Three Stripe Tiger and orders with her resounding roar like voice.
Perhaps it’s due to that roar, or simply because they’re both tigers, but Huang Xiao Ying’s words definitely had an effect and settled the poor animal. Even so, the frenzied look in those eyes did not disappear and remained strong despite being more subdued and not moving.
“Tigerly!” The girl who’s been chasing from the back wanted to take this chance to check on her precious friend when the tigress promptly raised a hand out to stop it.
“You can’t go over there, he’s in a frenzied state and will hurt anyone that draws near.”
“Then what am I supposed to do?” Wiping some of the tear away, the poor girl weeps, “My Tigerly have always been very good and would never hurt anyone, why did he suddenly lose control like this? He even refused to listen to my words….”
Huang Xiao Ying realized that the girl was sincere about caring for the Three Stripe tiger. Easing up in her stern face, “Did you feed him a Tigertail Grass?”
“Tigertail Grass, what’s that?” The girl appeared puzzled at the name.
“Tigertail is a medicinal material, useful for many types of recipes. However, tigers themselves can’t eat it, otherwise they will become violent and lose control.”
“Sister, can you help me save Tigerly, he is what Mother left me before she passed away. I’ve been with him for many years, I don’t want to lose him…” The young teenager pleads, her face all red and flushed with emotion.
Although in the Celestial Realm predominantly shunned demons, but there some who are able to contract with demonic beasts, provided they gain the approval of the animal itself. However, there are also many cases where the poor creature are tortured until they submit and forcibly enslaved.
“Don’t worry, Tigertails has a time limit before its effect are worn off. We only need to wait and do nothing.”
“But…” the teenage girl casts a glance at her familiar before biting down on that lip, “But… what am I going to do? People from the city are going to be coming through this area, I’m afraid they will encounter Tigerly and create a scene. If that happens then the city officials will get involved, and then, and then….
