Chapter 175: Huge Rewards

Di Baijun thought about it seriously. What he said did make quite a bit of sense.

However, she naturally wouldn’t be able to let go of it just like that.

She could only lower her head slightly, with some residual anger still on her countenance.

She simply couldn’t get rid of that sense of frustration in her.

Wang Hu could see everything clearly. He loosened his hold on her, picked up her tightly clenched fist, and hit his chest with it.

With neither too much nor too little force, he hit his chest with his fist again and again.

At the same time, he said, “Cough, cough. Since both of us are in the wrong, we should be punished for our wrongdoings. You can hit me, Baijun. We’ll take it as my punishment from you.”

Di Baijun looked up and glared at him fiercely. She went along with his actions and hit him a few times. Then, she couldn’t help but start to become more forceful as she hit his broad chest.

As though she was venting her frustrations, she smacked his chest quite a few times in succession.

Wang Hu fully suppressed his Extreme Defense Wall of Dao so that he would cough lightly from the force she was applying.

After taking quite a few hits in succession, when he noticed that Silly Girl was getting more and more into it the more she hit him, he immediately held her petite hand and said gently, “Wait a moment. It’s time that I punish you, too.”

Di Baijun was taken aback for a moment. Then, she looked cautiously at Wang Hu as hints of a dangerous aura surfaced on her countenance as though saying: ‘How are you going to punish me? Try hitting me, I dare you.’

A smiling Wang Hu leaned over and kissed her many times in succession on her perfect, flawless little face.

“Mwah!”

A soft sucking sound rang out.

This continued until Di Baijun finally regained her senses and pushed the rascal away in embarrassment. She cast a quick glance at Big Treasure and Little Treasure nearby. When she saw that they weren’t paying attention, she let out a loud snort and turned away.

However, the look of frustration on her features had largely dissipated and turned into bashful annoyance.

She couldn’t help but chide softly, “You no-good fellow.”

A smiling Wang Hu embraced her again and said gently and dotingly, “Alright, don’t be angry anymore. Let’s not be angry anymore, okay?”

Di Baijun snorted again and proudly raised her chin a little, refusing to answer.

Wang Hu knew that this meant that Silly Girl had already agreed, just that she was too embarrassed to reply to him.

To put it bluntly, she was just too easily embarrassed and had an outwardly stuck-up personality, resulting in her feeling that it would be too shameful and embarrassing if she were to agree just like that.

He didn’t say anything else either but continued to embrace Silly Girl just like that as he watched the two little fellows nearby continue playing and having fun without any worries in the world.

The look in his eyes softened more and more. A hint of extreme determination flashed across his eyes as he glanced at Silly Girl in his arms.

You silly little thing. Just let me deceive you for your entire lifetime.

…

After the storm that was neither too fierce nor too mild, the extremely furious and aggrieved Di Baijun was comforted and appeased by Wang Hu’s clever wit and sweet nothings.

Then, Wang Hu continued to bring the two little fellows around to play.

As for Di Baijun, she returned to camp somewhat unhappy and without most of her previous fighting spirit and continued to take charge of the total invasion and conquest of the Lichi Continent.

What was she to do? This was something that she had already undertaken.

In that case, she would have to finish it even if she had lost most of her interest, no matter what.

After she started on it, she regained her energy and motivation again very soon.

An emotion known as ‘venting one’s frustrations’ surged out of her fiercely.

The aura around Di Baijun became even colder, haughtier, and domineering; and her voice became even more forceful and uncontestable.

Orders were given one after another. The five species and the demons became busy right away.

The war to invade and conquer the Lichi Continent officially began.

The first step was that every species with Divine Body Realm cultivators must submit to them.

They were to hand over 70% of their financial assets, and their Divine Body Realm experts were to obey their manpower transfer orders.

Those who refused to follow orders would be killed without exceptions.

With the five major species teaming up, even though news of external enemies invading the world was already spreading, the disunited various species were utterly powerless to fight back.

With the world passage as the center, species with Divine Body Realm cultivators were conquered one after another. The conquest progressed swiftly, with most of the time actually spent on traveling instead.

In the short span of half a month, they swept through 98 species and forces with Divine Body Realm cultivators.

Among these, 12 species were destroyed. The remaining 86 species all submitted.

The number of Divine Body Realm cultivators totaled 215.

The amount of Spirit Stones they reaped totaled roughly 35,000 kilograms. They also gained three inferior-grade Dharma treasures and over 200 Dharma artifacts of various grades.

Wang Hu officially took over the Lichi Continent.

The remaining second step was to get all the species with Second Realm cultivators that had gained human intelligence to submit and hand over 70% of their financial assets; as well as to thoroughly exterminate the remaining Divine Body Realm cultivators that had dared to put up resistance.

The second step wasn’t very urgent, however. Bluntly put, compared to Divine Body Realm cultivators, Transformation Realm cultivators weren’t worth anything.

The minor species and forces with only Second Realm cultivators were insignificant to Wang Hu.

The only reason why he wanted those minor species and forces to submit was just so that he could better ransack and loot the riches and resources in this world.

As for the remaining Divine Body Realm cultivators, they actually didn’t amount to much either and were completely incapable of causing any turmoil. Neither Wang Hu nor Di Baijun took them to heart.

On the day that they finished the first step, Wang Hu and Di Baijun started to organize and sort through the first batch of riches and resources that they obtained from the world.

There was a total of 62,500 kilograms’ worth of Spirit Stones.

The huge harvest was enough to last the two of them, as well as the Tiger King’s Cave, for quite a long time.

They could now liberally use Spirit Stones when they cultivated.

In addition, there were a total of eight Spirit Stone mines that produced Spirit Stones on the Lichi Continent, and all eight belonged to them now. With these, they would gain roughly 10,000 kilograms’ worth of Spirit Stones every year. This was a stable and long-lasting source of income.

There were also a total of eight Dharma treasures. All of them were inferior-grade.

Dharma artifacts numbered over 300, with a 1:3:6 ratio of superior-grade, middle-grade, and inferior-grade artifacts.

There were also quite a few entities that knew how to forge Dharma artifacts and Dharma treasures, as well as a large amount of related treasures.

In terms of riches, these were the two main types of things they gained.

What came after that would be subordinates. There were over 400 Divine Body Realm cultivators and over 100,000 Second Realm cultivators.

Disregarding whether these subordinates had sincerely submitted to them or not, at the very least, they didn’t dare to defy Wang Hu’s orders at the moment. This was enough for him.

These roughly made up the first batch of rewards they got.

As he thought about these rewards that they had sorted through, even Wang Hu himself couldn’t help but feel rather emotional.

As expected, robbery was the best way of striking it rich.

Robbing a world would even make him filthy rich in an instant.

Just take his current state as an example. More than 60,000 kilograms’ worth of Spirit Stones, eight inferior-grade Dharma treasures, several hundred Dharma artifacts, more than 400 Divine Body Realm, and more than 100,000 Transformation Realm subordinates—which country on Earth had anything close to this?

Even China would definitely fall short by a mile.

Of course, he knew very well that apart from the riches, the subordinates were actually no different from innumerable volcanoes. The moment he weakened even by a little, the volcanoes would bite back right away.

However, he didn’t care. If they wanted to wait for him to weaken, then they could just slowly wait for it.

Wang Hu suppressed his joy and said, “The first batch of rewards is already in our hands. What’s next would be to use these rewards, as well as this whole world’s resources, to strengthen the Tiger King’s Cave.”

Di Baijun nodded and said with a look of joy, “Yes. With this entire world’s worth of resources in our hands, the forces under the Tiger King’s Cave’s command will be able to grow exponentially before long.”

Although these bountiful rewards wouldn’t have been much to her in the past, they really were quite a lot to the current Di Baijun.

Most of it had even come directly from her efforts. This feeling made her even happier.

When she thought of how the Tiger King’s Cave would gain a large-scale boost very soon as a result, she became even happier.

Wang Hu nodded. Then, he contemplated for a moment and said, “Baijun, it’s not appropriate for me to leave when we’ve only just established a foothold in this world. I’m afraid you’ll have to take charge of the upcoming Tiger King’s Cave’s relocation.”

Di Baijun didn’t quite want to bother with those troublesome matters the moment she heard what he said.

“Why don’t you take charge of it instead? I’ll stay here and look after the place.”

Wang Hu shook his head and replied seriously, “We still can’t be completely sure whether there are any hidden experts in this world or not, and we can’t trust those Divine Body Realm cultivators in the various species either. I’d better stay and watch the place instead.”

The moment Di Baijun heard what he said, she knew at once that he was saying that she wasn’t strong enough. She couldn’t help but become somewhat displeased.

However, she was also aware that should those hundreds of Divine Body Realm cultivators take the opportunity to revolt, she would still be in danger despite the fact that she had already placed restrictions upon most of them.

In matters like these, the rascal would never give in to her easily either.

Thus, she fell silent for a moment before she nodded and agreed.

A smile formed on Wang Hu’s face. Then, he released his divine senses and transmitted a large amount of information to Silly Girl.

After that, he said, “This is what I’ve preliminarily come up with. Regarding how to make use of this world’s resources to strengthen the Tiger King’s Cave, you can hand them to Old Second and Jun Wen after you leave and let them perfect the plan.”

Di Baijun nodded to express that she had understood. After a momentary pause, she said, “I’ll bring Big Treasure and Little Treasure with me, too.”

“Okay.” Wang Hu agreed. Once Di Baijun left, there wouldn’t be anyone he could trust here.

Should Big Treasure and Little Treasure remain, he wouldn’t have any time to do anything else and would have to watch over them every day.

After talking for another short while and coming to an agreement on what they should do, Di Baijun brought Big Treasure and Little Treasure with her and left the next day. She exited the world passage and returned to the Tiger King’s Cave.

Accompanying her were also six Divine Body Realm cultivators. All of them were no stronger than the First Floor, so they were able to go through the world passage.

It was just as well that she could use them as labor for the Tiger King’s Cave’s relocation this time.

As for Wang Hu, he stayed on in the Lichi Continent to reorganize the overall situation, establish a new state of affairs, and set up new rules.

He needed to consider and make arrangements for various issues such as how he was going to rule over the many species here, and how he could better make use of the resources in this world.

The world passage entrance would also become the Tiger King’s Cave’s headquarters in this world. Thus, he needed to start various construction works right away.

He wouldn’t have any free time at all for a significantly long time.

Elsewhere, Di Baijun—who had brought Big Treasure and Little Treasure with her and returned to the Tiger King’s Cave—also became very busy in no time.

Old Second, Jun Wen, and the others had already made all the relevant preparations for the relocation.

After Di Baijun’s return, the relocation officially started under her order.

More than 100 Transformation Realm animals brought several hundred First Realm family members with them and moved toward the area that they had long since reserved for the new Tiger King’s Cave.

The six Divine Body Realm cultivators also became busy and transported large numbers of Second Realm carcasses back and forth.

These thousands of carcasses were spoils that Wang Hu had gained and especially kept from the numerous big battles that he had participated in.

This was on top of the fact that a very large part of it—seemingly several times more—was already stored in China.

Apart from transporting the carcasses, the six Divine Body Realm cultivators were also in charge of refurbishing the new Tiger King’s Cave, including the residences of the animals under the Tiger King’s Cave’s command.

They were in charge of nearly all the big projects.

Di Baijun was in charge of overseeing the whole thing and had become the mainstay.

Old Second and Jun Wen were in charge of giving concrete commands.

The six Divine Body Realm cultivators were in charge of all the big projects, while the rest of the animals were in charge of cooperating with them.

The relocation progressed in a systematic and orderly manner.

In the capital of China, Li Aimin called Dong Pingtao the moment the relocation started.

“Leader, the Tiger King’s Cave has started their relocation,” Li Aimin said with a sigh. His voice also contained a hint of gravity.

After a short pause, Dong Pingtao also sighed softly. Then, his voice deepened, and he said, “We’ll have to mainly depend on ourselves with regard to the Hu County alternate world now.”

“Yes, I understand.” Li Aimin nodded and replied.

Now that the Tiger King’s Cave had relocated, the threat that the Hu County alternate world posed to the Tiger King’s Cave would be greatly reduced. China and the Tiger King’s Cave would no longer completely be one front with regard to the Hu County alternate world issue anymore.

In other words, China would have to solely shoulder the pressure from the Hu County alternate world after this.

It was uncertain whether the Tiger King would even render any assistance or not.

“Is there anything about the Tiger King’s Cave’s relocation that requires our help?” asked Dong Pingtao.

“The Tiger King didn’t mention anything. He hasn’t contacted us ever since he informed us about the relocation more than ten days ago,” replied Li Aimin with a shake of his head.

They were already aware of the Tiger King’s Cave’s relocation a long time ago. The Tiger King himself had informed them of it.

The underlying meaning of his action was very clear. It was so that they would step up their defenses against the Hu County alternate world.

“We can still take the initiative to ask even if there isn’t. As friends, these are things that we should help with,” said Dong Pingtao fairly passionately.

“Okay, I understand, Leader,” replied a smiling Li Aimin.

…

Five days later, mere dozens of kilometers away from the Lichi Continent world passage in the northern borders of China, the new Tiger King’s Cave was established.

The Tiger King’s Cave was located on a mountain ridge that reached as high as 1,000 meters. It was more or less the same as the old Tiger King’s Cave, except bigger.

Di Baijun immediately informed Wang Hu and told him to return when everything was done.

Wang Hu looked fairly satisfied when he returned to the new Tiger King’s Cave. It looked mostly the same as before, just that it was about double the size.

It also looked even more imposing than before, which was good.

In the hall of the Tiger King’s Cave, Wang Hu sat high above with Di Baijun seated next to him as he listened to Old Second and Jun Wen’s reports at the bottom.

The reports included things about the relocation, but more of it was about how they could make use of the Lichi Continent to strengthen the Tiger King’s Cave.

These matters had tired them out quite badly during the last few days.

Between directing the relocation and thinking about and discussing various matters, they practically hadn’t had any time to rest at all.

However, they were more than happy to do so and were full of drive and motivation.

Currently, they were reporting to Wang Hu in high spirits.

The voices were filled with great motivation and excitement. After all, that was a whole world they were talking about.

They could already imagine how rapidly the Tiger King’s Cave would develop and strengthen after this.

Wang Hu listened to them seriously. After hearing them out, he had also made up his mind.

A look of approval appeared in his eyes as he looked at Old Second and Jun Wen, and he said, “Not bad. Looks like it’s been tough on the two of you the last few days.”

“Not at all, my lord. I don’t find it tough,” said a smiling Wang Liang.

“That’s right. We’re just doing what we should. The King and the Queen are the ones that had really had a tough time due to taking over a world for the tigers.

“Yet, we’re too weak to help in any way. We’ve let the King down,” said Jun Wen, his voice full of self-blame and guilt.

At once, Wang Liang’s smile vanished. A hint of contempt flashed across his eyes as he glanced at Jun Wen out of the corner of his eye.
