White Tiger
Hearing Yang Jia's story filled Nie Yong's heart with sadness and pity so much that it made him say "Then what about coming to live into my mansion?"
...
"W-what? M-me coming living with you?" Her heart was skipping beats like crazy, becoming red as a tomato "A-aren't we skipping a lot of steps?"
The blushing girl received a flick on her forehead "What are you thinking of? I need a maid to take care of my mansion since it's hella big"
"A m-maid?" The girl's hopes were shattered and as she was about to talk, Nie Yong did it first "And I promise you that i'll heal your crippled body"
The girl's eyes widened and her heart was filling up with joy "Really?"
"Yes, Yang Jia"
At his confirmation, the girl didn't think twice and hugged Nie Yong "Thanks, really thanks"
"And then it's me who skips steps..."
After hugging him for a couple of seconds, she finally realized what she was doing and release Nie Yong from her arms "S-sorry, Nie Yong!"
"Don't worry, Yang Jia" Nie Yong patted her head and then headed towards the White Tiger's corpse "Now, i'm gonna collect this beast's heart and claws and then we will reach my wife, who's waiting for me"
"You have a wife?!" Yang Jia's hopes were not annihilated, but they recovered a bit when Nie Yong, who was dismembering the tiger, spoke "In reality I have four wives, so I always have space for another-"
But as he touched the white tiger's core, his words were interrupted by his system's appearence.
[Would the host like to copy the White Tiger?]
"What?" Nie Yong was surprised that he could copy even a beast "I can copy even monsters?! This ability of mine is really too overpowered"
"Yes"
[Copying...]
[The copy has been successfull!]
[The Bloodline section has been unlocked!]
[The host has gained ths White Tiger's Bloodline (low)!]
"A bloodline?" Nie Yong asked himself "I don't feel anything strange-"
Suddendly his blood started boiling and he started screaming from the pain.
[The Bloodline is merging with the host's body!]
[Merging...]
"What's happening?" Yang Jia immediately rushed to screaming Nie Yong, who knelt down on the ground with his hand on his chest "Stay away from me!"
His eyes were brighting with a golden light "I can be dangerous right now, Yang Jia!"
His hand were grabbing the grass below him with so much strength that it seemed he was losing control and Yang Jia seeing this, slowly distanced herself from Nie Yong altough her heart was still worrying for him.
...
After minutes of screaming
[The merge has been successfull!]
"Pant...pant...It's finally finished" the pain stopped and he got up "System, show me the bloodline's informations"
[White Tiger's Bloodline (low)]
[The White Tiger is one of the guardians of the Four Directions, representing the west and it is associated with the metal element, autumn, and strength. The White Tiger's Bloodline grants its owner Saint Talent in the Metal Dao and strenghtens the owner's body other than granting him the ability to shapeshift into a beastman (the last ability is still locked)]
"That's why i felt stronger" Nie Yong strongly clenched his fist "Besides this bloodline really is good, I can even shapeshift"
"Too bad that it's locked"
"Ehm, Nie Yong, are you fine now?" Yang Jia approached him with worries for him, but she was soon relieved "Yes, i'm fine, little archer"
"Ok, then... could you, please, put something on..." she blushed, embarassed since Nie Yong's upper clothes tore, showing his incredible physique, which she was staring at very interested.
"Wow, my physique really did develop well" Nie Yong examinated his own body "Sorry, Yang Jia, but i don't have another pair of clothes"
"Does it bother you?" This question made Yang Jia blush even more "N-no, not at all"
"Ok, then" and Nie Yong proceded to put the tiger's core and claws in his bag "We can go to my wife now or it'll get pretty late soon"
...
After two hours of walking
"Where is Nie Yong?" Xia Ning Chang complained about her husband "I said to wait me here! Where did he go?"
Suddendly a voice replied to her complaints "I'm here, Chang'er"
Xia Ning Chang turned towards the voice, her cheeks puffing "Where have you been all this time? You know that I was worried! And why are you shirtless?"
Then the girl behind her husband caught her eye "And who is this girl?"
A hint of jealosy was shown in Xia Ning Chang's face, so much that Nie Yong couldn't help but tease her "Why? Are you jealous?"
"No! I just want to know it" his shy wife was bow puffing her cheeks more and more.
"Okay, i'll tell you. She's Yang Jia, a girl that I saved in the wilderness and that I took in as a maid since she hasn't a place that she can call home"
"Ok" Xia Ning Chang's jealousy disappeared "Then, I won't care even if you take her in even as a wife, but that's only if I'll remain your favourite!"
At her words, Yang Jia immediately became red as a tomato and her thoughts went crazy "W-what? A w-wife?!"
And as she felt embarrass, the couple continued acting like lovebirds "Chang'er, how many times do I have to say that you aren't my favourite?"
"If you say so" Xia Ning Chang smiled, her beauty going off the charts.
"You guys! I am here too!" Jealousy was now hitting the other girl, Yang Jia, due to their lovebirds' behaviour.
"Ok, girls" Nie Yong stopped the two girl and his face became serious "Now, Chang'er, when will the Nine Yin Dew Crystals appear and how do we capture it?"
"We'll have to wait until midnight, when they'll appear" Xia Ning Chang cleared Nie Yong's doubts, before other doubts, this time Yang Jia's, appeared "Sorry, can someone please explain me what are those Nine Yin Dew Crystals?"
