"Then it's settled, and I hope you won't go back on your word when the time comes."

The Nine-tailed Fox's expression turned serious, speaking earnestly.

She had made up her mind that if this Thunder Tiger dared to renege on his promise, unwilling to return it, she would fight him to the death.

Even if it meant dying, she would make sure to take a piece of him with her,

"Haha, I always keep my word!"

Hearing this, Thunder Tiger said with a calm expression.

Although he had taken the bell because it was indeed a precious item, it wasn't valuable enough to make Thunder Tiger break his promise.

Even if it truly was a priceless Spirit Treasure.

Hearing Thunder Tiger's assured tone, the Nine-tailed Fox scrutinized his face but couldn't discern whether his words were true or false.

This Thunder Tiger was cunning, and she wasn't sure if he was just deceiving her.

"You must keep my treasure safe, don't lose it, or cause any damage to it."

After hesitating for a moment, the Nine-tailed Fox, worried about the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell, couldn't help but remind Thunder Tiger.

This Thunder Tiger appeared to be a rough brute, likely not treating the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell with care. If improper actions on his part damaged the bell, she wouldn't know where to cry about it.

Of course, given the sturdiness of the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell, the possibility was very slim, but however small, she didn't want it to happen.

"Little fox, don't worry! How could this treasure get damaged from just casual use?"

Thunder Tiger replied indifferently. When he first got the bell, he had tried squeezing it multiple times with most of his strength but couldn't do anything to it.

So the likelihood of the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell being damaged was negligible.

"You better not use it at all; just keep it until I retrieve it!"

Hearing "casual use," the Nine-tailed Fox's face turned as dark as coal.

This Nine Illusion Immortal Bell, she had only touched a few times and just activated it for the first time, was now in someone else's hands to be used casually, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

"Got it, we'll see when the time comes. I'm not really that interested in your treasure, so don't think it's too important."

Thunder Tiger said helplessly, as if the bell was some heavenly and earthly treasure.

However, from this, it was clear how much the other valued the bell.

"You... Lord Thunder Tiger, you're right. I just got a bit anxious. Please don't mind."

The Nine-tailed Fox stiffened, explaining with a headache.

"Alright, I have to go now! Remember to train diligently, or if you can't defeat my third sister later, even if you cry to death, I won't return the bell to you!"

Thunder Tiger emphasized the latter half, and sure enough, the Nine-tailed Fox's expression turned serious.

Train hard, little fox! If you don't, how will I enjoy life!

Then, Thunder Tiger didn't say more, stepped onto the Heavenly Trampler, and under the Nine-tailed Fox's gaze, transformed into a stream of light and quickly left.

The Nine-tailed Fox watched Thunder Tiger's departing figure with a smile until he disappeared into the clouds, and her expression suddenly turned sullen.

"Damn Thunder Tiger, just you wait! If I don't avenge this, may I be a bald fox forever!"

The Nine-tailed Fox was extremely resentful towards Thunder Tiger and swore a poisonous oath on her Fox Race to avenge herself.

Though once a reincarnated ancient power with a high background, she planned to stay at Fox Immortal Mountain and avoid external conflicts until she could safely emerge.

But to her surprise, Thunder Tiger was unbelievably audacious, bullying her at her doorstep and snatching her hard-won unsealed treasure.

And his reasoning was even more absurd: he'd come hundreds of miles just because he saw her as a promising talent, wanting her submission.

Following this, the Nine-tailed Fox ranted ten sentences differing from each other, her resentment sky-high, voicing her indignation.

But suddenly, the Nine-tailed Fox seemed to understand something, her expression turning wan, and she sighed, "Fine! For now, I'll work hard on my cultivation and focus on retrieving the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell first!"

Words are empty; only strength truly matters. If she were stronger, Thunder Tiger wouldn't have dared bully her at her doorstep and take her treasure.

Currently, with her insufficient strength, she couldn't defeat Thunder Tiger and could only follow his terms, defeating his sister, the golden tiger, to reclaim the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell.

Thinking of the golden tiger invigorated the Nine-tailed Fox, her eyes filled with confidence, her lips slightly upturned.

A mere golden tiger is no match for me!

Surely, it won't be long before the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell returns to her embrace.

…

Tiger King Ridge, Peach Grove Valley.

The golden stream of light that was Thunder Tiger shot through the clouds, quickly plummeting towards the valley.

Whoosh!

Reaching a hundred yards high, the Heavenly Trampler's speed drastically slowed as it gently descended.

"Big Brother!"

Nangong Luo, who had been cultivating, naturally noticed the heavenly trampler's whoosh, and seeing Thunder Tiger return, she was delighted, her face breaking into a smile as she hurried over to him.

Thunder Tiger disembarked from the Heavenly Trampler and nodded at Nangong Luo approaching, "Third Sister! Everything at Tiger King Ridge should be fine while I was gone, right?"

"Big Brother, you weren't gone long enough for anything to happen!"

Nangong Luo laughed.

"That's good. Go on with your training; I won't disturb you!"

Thunder Tiger returned the Heavenly Trampler into himself, heading towards the entrance of the Bodhi Cave to nap—he'd grown accustomed to sleeping there.

"Wait, Big Brother. Why did you go to the Northern Territory?"

Just then, Nangong Luo voiced her curiosity.

Sifting through her communicator, she saw the Great Qin Empire officially announce Thunder Tiger's presence in the Northern Territory.

She was naturally curious, not knowing what her big brother's mysterious trip was about, and wouldn't have known he'd gone to the Northern Territory if not for the Great Qin's revelation.

"Oh, take a look at this!"

Thunder Tiger thought for a moment, then pulled out the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell.

The Nine Illusion Immortal Bell was undoubtedly beautiful, emitting a dreamy rainbow light, instantly capturing Nangong Luo's attention.

Nangong Luo was surprised, instantly recognizing it as the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox's treasure—the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell—having battled it often in her past life.

Wait!! Did Big Brother steal the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox's treasure?

Suddenly, Nangong Luo froze, her eyes wide, staring at Thunder Tiger in disbelief.

It was too shocking. Did Big Brother really go to the Northern Territory for the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox's treasure?
