With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 693: The calm before the storm

After the little white tiger decided to go with them, they couldn't just leave things as they were.

Xiao Ming had Huang Xie and Yu Huang go out to dig a grave first as she stayed in the cave with the little white tiger.

The two of them just stayed in front of the white tiger until they were called out by Huang Xie and Yu Huang.

After one last look for the little white tiger, Xiao Ming lifted the white tiger up above her and carried it out. The little white tiger did what it could to help, but it really couldn't do much.

All it could do was lift the tail of the white tiger that was trailing on the ground.

Xiao Ming carried the white tiger out of the cave and over to the grave that Huang Xie and Yu Huang dug. However, she didn't put the white tiger in that grave right away as she just stood there in front of it.

With the way that she stood there, it seemed like she was waiting to see what the little white tiger would do.

The little white tiger had dropped the white tiger's tail and was just standing there in front of the grave with a dazed look in its eyes. It no longer shed tears as it looked at its mother, it just stood there as if it was coming to terms with the facts.

Finally, it turned away from the white tiger, as if it had accepted the fact that it was dead.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming dropped the white tiger in the grave and picked up the little white tiger without a word.

She walked away from the grave and let Huang Xie and Yu Huang cover it up.

She didn't look back once, but there was a promise that she made in her heart to take care of the little white tiger for the white tiger.

As Xiao Ming walked away, she looked down at the little white tiger and said, "You need a name."

The little white tiger looked up with a confused look, but it didn't seem like it was resisting this suggestion.

After thinking for a bit, Xiao Ming said, "Xiao Bai, that will be your name from now on."

The little white tiger didn't really seem to understand, so it just nodded in agreement.

But the people around Xiao Ming revealed complicated looks when they heard this.

This name was just too childish for a tiger like this.

It was clear by its parent that this little white tiger would grow into a fierce tiger one day, so to name it Xiao Bai…it really wasn't doing it justice.

It was just that they couldn't say anything since the little white tiger seemed to be completely taken by Xiao Ming, doing whatever she told it to do. So if she wanted to name it Xiao Bai and it accepted it, it wasn't as if they could change this.

They could only let her name it Xiao Bai.

After burying the white tiger, they went back to the place that they found before to set up camp.

The cave had also been a good option, but the problem with the cave was that it was filled with spirit beast corpses. That would without a doubt attract many other spirit beasts, so they could only burn all of the spirit beast corpses in the cave.

After setting up camp, all of the girls suddenly flocked over to look at the little white tiger Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai was scared to be the center of attention at first, but it quickly adjusted and even flourished being the center of attention.

Stay ahead with m v l em pyr

That was because there was a special trait to Xiao Bai's personality that the girls quickly exploited.

Glutton.

This little white tiger was a glutton.

When they offered it treats, it immediately let its guard down and ate everything that they offered it.

At the same time, it even started acting cute as if it wanted more treats from them.

The way that it acted cute was just too effective on them that they couldn't help giving it as many treats as it wanted.

The little white tiger Xiao Bai really seemed like it was having the time of its life as it was being cuddled and fed treats by all of these beautiful girls.

When the men saw the girls acting this way towards Xiao Bai, there was a part of them that wanted to cry.

After all, many of them were single dogs, so being shown this scene was like being fed dog food. Though it wasn't exactly dog food that they were fed since it was a little white tiger that was being pampered.

Still, they couldn't control their jealousy.

So there were many gazes of jealousy that were cast in the direction of the little white tiger.

After pampering Xiao Bai for a bit, Xiao Ming stood up and gave her place to the other girls.

Xiao Bai had wanted to stand up and follow Xiao Ming, but she just waved her hand at it for it to remain there and enjoy being pampered.

Xiao Bai was a bit sad seeing Xiao Ming leave, but it quickly cheered up when it was fed even more treats by the girls around it. It seemed like it was in heaven with the way that it ate everything that was offered to it.

Some of the girls had even started taking out special things when they saw the way that Xiao Bai acted towards Xiao Ming.

It was clear that Xiao Ming had a special connection to Xiao Bai since she was the one that had saved it in the first place. But they all wanted to have a special connection with Xiao Bai as well, so they were giving special treats to Xiao Bai to win it over.

Xiao Ming came over to where Mo Sha was sitting and sat down beside him.

Mo Sha had been watching everything happen with a faint smile on his face, but that smile disappeared when Xiao Ming sat down.

He looked at her and said, "Are you ready for tomorrow?"

The serious way that he said this, it was as if he was expecting things to go bad tomorrow.

Xiao Ming wasn't surprised to see this as she slowly gave a nod before looking up at the sky.

It was clear by the way that the two of them were acting that they were both expecting something bad to happen tomorrow.

They were acting as if this was the calm before the storm.

But that did make sense since there would be plenty of people feeling the pressure tomorrow.

There were only so many herbs and there were so many people that were participating in this tournament. There weren't enough high grade herbs for everyone to pick and picking low grade herbs wouldn't give them a chance to compete.

Just the White Jade Lotus was already worth a thousand points.

The herbs that were scattered around were only worth one point each.

So it would take a long time to gather enough herbs to compare to a single White Jade Lotus.

After all, they had to make sure that the herb was gathered properly and properly preserved.

So they had to take their time in gathering these herbs.

In the end, there was no way that they would be able to earn enough with just normal herbs.

They could only do this with high grade herbs that were worth large amounts of points.

After a long silence, Mo Sha asked, "What do you think happened in the center of this valley?"

Xiao Ming didn't answer when she heard this, but it was clear by the look on her face that she had been wondering about this as well.

This was the question that had been on their minds the entire time.

There were those that had jumped into the center of this valley where the concentration of spiritual energy was the most dense. That would be the place that had the most powerful spirit beasts and the most valuable herbs.

The fighting there must have been the most intense, so they couldn't help wondering just what had happened.

Xiao Ming slowly shook her head after a while and said, "I don't know, but I hope that there will be something for us there tomorrow."

After all, she had absorbed the Fire Lotus Flower which had been the one high grade herb that the Love Sect had found. If they didn't find anything else, they wouldn't be able to meet their quota.

Huang Xie and Yu Huang came out of the forest at this moment and sat down beside them.

They were followed by some other members of the Love Sect and the Demon Palm Sect.

There were a few scratches on them, but there wasn't anything that seemed serious.

Xiao Ming saw the two of them sit down and asked, "How was it?"

Huang Xie just casually said, "It was just a few stragglers and some weak people hoping to take advantage of the night."

Yu Huang gave a nod of agreement before saying, "It wasn't a problem. It was almost too easy."

Huang Xie gave a sigh when he heard this before saying, "But this is all the calm before the storm. It's only a matter of time before we have to face those really powerful people."

Just like Xiao Ming and Mo Sha, he and the others all recognized that this was the calm before the storm.

They knew that tomorrow would be the true test of their abilities.
