God of Pets
Chapter 834: The Beauty-Dog Ruse
Ghost Eye’s wild battle and the deeds of the Demon Heart Ape quickly spread throughout Wanxiang City.
Now many Secret Spirits know that a mixed-blood dragon has arrived in Wanxiang City, with tremendous combat power and an invincible body, even the Demon Heart Ape is no match.
Ghost Eye continued through the battles smoothly, winning every fight.
Even some bizarre Secret Laws posed some threats to Ghost Eye, but they hardly affected its winning streak.
Soon, Ghost Eye became a key contender for the championship in this group of seven awakens along with Little Celestial Injury Star, both being the most likely to win the title.
Ghost Eye’s battles proceeded very smoothly, with its dominance exceeding Chen Guan’s expectations.
With the protection of Emperor Wu Jian, Ghost Eye could fully utilize its advantages, almost having overwhelming superiority in one-on-one combat.
After all, the space in the battle arena is limited; for a gigantic Secret Spirit like Ghost Eye, it holds an advantage in this kind of arena battle.
If it was a wild battlefield, those Secret Spirits wouldn’t dare to confront Ghost Eye head-on, but here they have no choice but to do so.
Chen Guan saw this and knew that winning second place shouldn’t be a big problem for Ghost Eye.
Upon examining the tournament structure, Chen Guan realized that Ghost Eye would likely encounter Little Celestial Injury Star only in the top ten battles.
The top ten battles would be based on a win-rate system.
The ten contenders would battle in turns, ranking by the number of victories.
Chen Guan planned for Ghost Eye to lose only to Little Celestial Injury Star, winning all other matches, thus securing a perfect second place.
With the plan in place here, Chen Guan had to check on Warring States’ progress over there.
If Ghost Eye secures second place and Killing God White Tiger refuses to help, Chen Guan would have to consider other options.
Chen Guan believed Warring States should have some progress, considering it had the record of defeating Fierce Tiger King.
Chen Guan stealthily arrived at the minefield and found a spot to hide and observe Warring States and Killing God White Tiger’s developments before the White Tiger arrived.
Warring States stayed there, watching the usual route of Killing God White Tiger. As the first ray of morning sunlight fell on its back, it saw a large and small tiger advancing through the morning light.
Upon seeing Killing God White Tiger, Warring States’ eyes seemed to shine, and it quickly ran over excitedly.
Chen Guan saw that Killing God White Tiger surprisingly didn’t drive Warring States away, seemingly accepting its presence, causing him great joy.
"There we go... Warring States, an impressive fellow..." Chen Guan couldn’t help but admire Warring States for achieving some progress.
Just as Chen Guan thought things were heading in a positive direction, reality struck him.
"Awoooo... awoooo..."
Warring States and Killing God White Tiger exchanged flirtatious glances, but the small white tiger accompanying Killing God White Tiger harbored great hostility towards Warring States, sensing its dubious intentions towards its mother.
Whenever Warring States tried to approach, the small white tiger would show its fangs and bark furiously, fiercely defending its ground.
As the small white tiger faced off against the Wind Cave within, Warring States tried to bump into Killing God White Tiger but saw the small white tiger rush out like the wind, positioning itself between the tiger and the dog, ready to fight to death.
After observing for a while, Chen Guan realized this little troublemaker tiger was the biggest obstacle to Warring States and Killing God White Tiger coming together.
Watching Killing God White Tiger and Warring States exchanging shy glances, their eyes gleaming, Chen Guan thought that without this little troublemaker, Warring States would have succeeded by now.
"What should be done?" Chen Guan pondered internally.
He needed Killing God White Tiger’s help but couldn’t act against the little white tiger, feeling actually quite helpless at the moment.
Chen Guan thought that just like human children, tiger cubs enjoy playing with companions, suggesting a parallel.
Since the charm strategy didn’t work, why not let the little tiger try to become playmates with the small white tiger, drawing it away from its mother?
Chen Guan thought about this plan and then quietly brought the little tiger out, placing it by the Wind Cave, hoping to attract the small white tiger.
The little tiger, not being Chen Guan’s actual pet, only followed orders by going to the Wind Cave and merely lazed around the ground, lacking spirit.
"Get energized, like this how could you attract the small white tiger? Come... play ball... lure them to gather and play together..." Chen Guan took out a ball and tossed it to the little tiger.
The little tiger lazily stretched out a paw, casually spinning the ball twice without any intentions of standing up.
"Vitality... Show your vitality..." Chen Guan felt speechless.
Usually, this creature and Zhao Cai both enjoyed playing ball games the most, yet asked to perform solo, it seemed uninterested.
Chen Guan was left helpless, since the small tiger was not truly his pet, leaving him only to urge it on.
Before the little tiger even got up, the small white tiger, having chased away Warring States, approached the Wind Cave once more.
"Might as well gamble; if this fails, then other tactics must be considered." Chen Guan planned what alternatives might exist.
As the little white tiger approached, it intended to head toward the Wind Cave, but after several steps, it spotted the small tiger lazily batting a ball aside.
The small white tiger’s eyes lit up immediately.
It abandoned its run to the Wind Cave, instead trotting over towards the small tiger, hesitantly circling around, clearly wanting to draw nearer yet showing some caution.
"Seems promising!" Chen Guan was thrilled and delighted, never expecting such a turn of events.
"Little tiger, go for it, draw it away." Chen Guan internally urged.
Unfortunately, the human and the tiger couldn’t communicate spiritually, with the small tiger ignoring the small white tiger.
When the small white intentionally wanted to approach it, the little tiger instead showed its fangs, causing the small white’s hesitantly extended paw to promptly withdraw.
"Good grief... Do you even know what you’re up to? You should learn a thing or two from your clever dad, Warring States..." Chen Guan was somewhat speechless.
Yet, he had no other choice, as the small tiger fell outside his control.
Several times the small white wanted to draw closer, but it got frightened away by its teeth display—loitering nearby yet not intending to leave.
In contrast, the small tiger became impatient, stood, and pawed at the ball to depart.
Chen Guan wanted to internally scold the small tiger as a brainless fool, until he saw the small white actually follow.
It kept pace for a bit before recalling something, retreated, casting glances towards Killing God White Tiger’s direction.
As its head turned around and around, eyes flickering back and forth in uncertainty, wanting to chase the small tiger, yet uneasy about leaving its mother.
After much hesitation, seeing the small tiger about to disappear from sight, it bit its teeth as though deciding, scampering behind in pursuit.
