...

In the following two days, they were spent waiting.

Waiting for the Shadow Flying Tiger to give birth to its cubs.

However, during these two days, Wang Xiaoqiang wasn't idle; he intensified his practice of the Visitation Category Spell Technique "Observe Heaven and Earth" that he had traded with Jin Qiaoqiao.

This set of "Observe Heaven and Earth" cultivation technique was not difficult to practice and was a fast-acting one. It could be learned and applied immediately. Within two days, Wang Xiaoqiang was able to observe people and Barbaric Demons which his Divine Sense could not detect through this technique.

Since Divine Sense was originally Wang Xiaoqiang's weak point, having "Observe Heaven and Earth" was like filling in a gap.

Indeed, as Jin Qiaoqiao had said, "Observe Heaven and Earth" wasn't empty talk about observing the Nine Heavens above and inquiring into the Nine Netherworld below, but advancing this technique was not easy. It would probably be impossible to reach that level without two or three years.

Jin Qiaoqiao accompanied Wang Xiaoqiang in his cultivation. They quickly became familiar with each other, and Wang Xiaoqiang found that Jin Qiaoqiao was truly innocent, like a girl who had stepped out from a secluded place.

This forest used to be dominated by the Shadow Flying Tiger, and not a single Barbaric Demon dared to intrude. Now, although the Shadow Flying Tiger was unconscious, its residual might remained, so no Barbaric Demon came to disturb them; hence, the forest was extremely quiet and very safe.

Today was the day the Shadow Flying Tiger was giving birth. Waking up early in the morning, none of the three dared to walk away, particularly Jin Futu, who sat beside the Shadow Flying Tiger, quietly observing its overly protruding belly.

Finally, amid the three people's tense and anticipatory gazes, the unconscious Shadow Flying Tiger gave birth.

Under the effect of Jin Futu's Knockout Drug, the Demon Beast experienced almost no pain during childbirth.

It gave birth to the cubs very smoothly.

However, it wasn't just one cub but two, a male and a female, two Demon Tiger cubs.

This unexpected event brought the three of them a sincere surprise and joy.

Jin Futu felt genuine relief. Although letting his daughter give the Patterned Beast to Wang Xiaoqiang could fill the debt in his heart, it meant he couldn't fulfill his own wish. Seeing the Shadow Flying Tiger give birth to two cubs, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "A tiger with two cubs, this is fate!"

Although Wang Xiaoqiang had obtained the Patterned Beast, he felt like he was taking someone else's love, and it bothered him. However, seeing that one tiger had given birth to two cubs, meaning two Patterned Beasts could be made, he felt at ease.

Looking at the two adorable tiger cubs, Jin Qiaoqiao couldn't help but want to touch them but didn't dare, as the two Demon Tiger cubs were too big, far beyond what ordinary tiger cubs could compare to. At this time, however, the two little ones hadn't opened their eyes yet, and their gait was unsteady; they trembled and wobbled a few steps before toppling over.

Seeing the tiger cubs born, Jin Futu didn't dare delay a moment; he immediately sat down in an open area and started making the Patterned Beast without wasting any time.

In his Storage Ring on the left hand, who knew how many treasures were hidden; then, with a flip of his right hand, a transparent container appeared and was set on the ground in front of him. He then instructed Wang Xiaoqiang to bring over the male cub. Wang Xiaoqiang complied, bringing the Demon Tiger cub to him.

The old man flipped his right hand again, and a knife appeared in his palm. He pulled up a leg of the young cub and made a long, shallow cut in the soft skin.

The blue-purple blood flowed into the transparent container below.

When the container was full, the old man flipped his right hand again, and a yellow pill appeared, which he crushed and applied to the leg wound of the cub; the blood stopped immediately with whatever medicine it was.

Then the old man instructed Wang Xiaoqiang to let go of the cub and commanded him to take off his robe.

Wang Xiaoqiang did as told and released the cub, but he didn't immediately undress because there was a young girl beside him.

Jin Qiaoqiao, seemingly unaware of the concept of shyness, urged him when she saw him hesitate, "Hurry up! What are you dawdling for?"

Wang Xiaoqiang, in turn, felt embarrassed like a bashful girl.

Jin Qiaoqiao suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his belt, and yanked it open.

The robe fell to the ground.

"Stop messing around, Qiaoqiao, go keep watch from a distance! Little Qiang, strip off your clothes and come here!" the old man commanded loudly after seeing the two of them bickering nonstop.

Jin Qiaoqiao pulled a face, puckered her lips, huffed, and turned to walk away.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't dare to dally and immediately did as told.

At that moment, the old man took out five mystical pills from the Storage Ring—one fiery red, one aqua green, one earthy yellow, one woody blue, and one golden yellow—and tossed them all into the blood-filled vessel.

As the pills entered the vessel, the purple-blue blood began to hiss and bubble as if some reaction had started.

With another flip of his right hand, the old man revealed two more pills, one white and one black, and threw them into the vessel as well.

Upon contact with the blood, the bubbling liquid suddenly boiled as if coming to life, and a faint sound of tiger roars could be heard coming from within, which was incredibly magical. Wang Xiaoqiang was completely captivated.

"What are you waiting for? Come over here and squat down." The old man barked at Wang Xiaoqiang with a stern face.

Wang Xiaoqiang snapped back to reality and squatted down barebacked in front of the old man.

At this time, the old man flipped his right hand again, and a leather wallet appeared in his palm, which was densely packed with rows of shiny Golden Needles.

The old man pulled out one needle, dipped its tip into the bubbling blood, took a deep breath, glanced at the still unconscious Shadow Flying Tiger, picked up the Golden Needle, and inserted it into the skin on Wang Xiaoqiang's back...

As he inserted and then pulled out the needle, dipping the blood-stained Golden Needle back in before inserting it again, the old man's hands moved like butterflies flitting between flowers, incredibly fast. Under the old man's skilled hands, a majestic and imposing tiger tattoo, ready to take flight, gradually took shape on Wang Xiaoqiang's back.

After about an Incense Stick Time, the old man pulled out all the Golden Needles from Wang Xiaoqiang's back. He took a deep breath and said, "All done. Move away; it's Qiaoqiao's turn."

Saying this, Jin Futu called out to his daughter.

Wang Xiaoqiang also let out a sigh of relief. He jumped to his feet and, considering the propriety between men and women, he walked away without looking back.

The insertion of the Golden Needles into the skin did not hurt, but it did feel hot. By this time, his back felt scorching, and the tattooed area was pulling at his blood from all over his body.

As this sensation intensified, Wang Xiaoqiang began to feel waves of chill over his body, his complexion turned pale, and he felt thirsty.

He then took out a Leafless Fruit from the Sumeru Ring and began to eat it voraciously, not stopping until he had devoured two fruits to quench his thirst.

At this time, he heard Jin Futu calling out.

Wang Xiaoqiang turned and walked back, to see Jin Qiaoqiao already dressed, her complexion somewhat pale, evidently having been tattooed as well.

As Wang Xiaoqiang approached her, he flipped his right hand and two more Leafless Fruits appeared, which he tossed to her.

He also threw two more to Jin Futu. For some reason, the old man also looked pale and weary at this time.

While Wang Xiaoqiang wondered about this, the old man gave a wry smile and said, "Who would have thought that making a Patterned Beast would be so taxing? I nearly passed out. However, the process went quite smoothly."
