The spring breeze was gentle, the willows were sweet, and the vast Tianhu Lake was like a large and smooth mirror, shining golden under the setting sun.2
The surface of the lake was covered with scales and waves. A snow-white egret would occasionally land on the surface of the water and catch a small fish. It would then swallow it whole before landing in the forest to rest. Everything seemed so calm and natural.
Suddenly, two extremely quick figures appeared in the forest on the lakeside. One was black and one was white. Upon closer inspection, the black figure was a youth of about fourteen or fifteen years old, while the white figure was a tight-eyed tiger.
The youth was tall and slender and still had a youthful look on his face, but he was abnormally handsome with his long black hair fluttering in the wind. A shrewd and astute look could be seen in his bright eyes from time to time.
As soon as the two figures appeared, the willows and egrets that had been standing on the bank immediately spread their wings and scattered in all directions like fleeing soldiers.
The man and the tiger were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they had passed through the entire forest on the shore and arrived at the lakeside that was shining brightly.
"Alright, Xiao Tian, today it's your turn to go fishing. If you want to try Young Master's secret recipe's grilled fish, you have to use all your strength to catch a big fish!" After stopping on the shore, the youth in black clothing spoke to the white tiger eye by his side.
The tiger-eyed tiger was extremely intelligent. After hearing the youth's words, it let out a long hiss before shooting into the tranquil lake like a bolt of lightning.
The tiger's body was extremely huge, at least twice the size of an ordinary tiger. When such a huge beast drilled into the water, it was like throwing a heavy bomb into a lake, causing ripples that sputtered out dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.
The teenager on the shore saw that his comrade had caused such a ruckus, so he pouted and said unhappily, "Damn it, dead Xiao Tian, why are you making such a ruckus when I'm telling you to catch a big fish? It's not like I'm making you perform. A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin, not someone who has seen the world.
Despite his dissatisfaction, the youth took advantage of the moment when the tiger was in the lake fishing to quickly pick up a handful of dry firewood.
When the youth had finished building the firewood, the calm lake's surface suddenly exploded. The sound of the explosion was several times louder than before, and immediately after, a white figure shot out of the lake like a bolt of lightning, landing steadily on the grass.
After the white shadow landed on the shore, it immediately turned into a huge fierce tiger. In the tiger's mouth was a ten jin fat fish. At this moment, Tiger was looking at the youth beside the shore with a complacent expression, as if he was saying, "Look, this Tiger King isn't bad, isn't it easy to catch fish with a few kilograms of weight?"
If you want to eat fish, then work hard. Hurry up and light up the firewood and let the two old men know later that we are going to be split into half. It's not like you don't know the food of the two old men, by then you won't even be able to cry in time. When the youth saw the smug look on the tiger's face, his anger began to rise. Following which, he turned to the tiger with a large fish in its mouth and said unhappily.
Hearing the youth's words, the white tiger threw its head back, and the ten pound fish in its mouth immediately flew towards the teenager. The white tiger turned its head around, and the ten pound fish in its mouth immediately flew towards the youth, and then the tiger suddenly opened its bloody mouth and roared, and a fist-sized ball of fire instantly rushed out from the tiger's back, accurately landing in front of the pile of firewood in front of the youth.
The young man took out a shining sword from nowhere and slashed open the fish, which weighed several dozen pounds, causing all of its internal organs to flow out. Afterwards, the young man placed the fish, which weighed several dozen pounds, into the clean lake water and washed it. Finally, the young man took out a very sturdy wooden stick and strung up the fish, placing it on top of the pile of firewood and started roasting it.
Not long after, a rich and unusual fishy aroma wafted out from the lakeside. The white tiger that was lying beside the young man was staring at the golden fish on the grill with its bell-like eyes, drool dripping from time to time from its cheeks.
"Look at your little talent, isn't it just a grilled fish? "Let me tell you, young master originally ate a lot of better things than this, like French food, top Japanese food, Chinese Man-Han food, these young masters, I'm sick of eating, when young master is rich, I'll take you out to see the world, but young master I have to remind you, your greedy look must be restrained a little, otherwise don't blame young master for drawing a clear line between us, bringing a country bumpkin like you, young master how I can pick up a girl, girls nowadays are all picky and want to die." While the grilled fish was still not fully cooked yet, the young man chattered on and on about his painstaking efforts on the White Tiger beside him.
Looking at the roasted fat fish boy, he was not in a hurry to eat it. Instead, he took out a small white bottle from his body, opened the bottle cap and sprinkled the light yellow powder from the bottle onto the roasted fat fish.
After sprinkling the light yellow powder, the already fragrant fatty fish instantly became even more colourful. The white tiger that was lying beside the teenager stared at the fat fish on the grill until its eyeballs almost popped out. If any human or animal tried to move the delicious and fragrant grilled fish on the grill, the white tiger would not hesitate to launch a storm-like attack at that person or animal.
The youth held a small knife. He took out two palm-sized pieces of fish from the fat fish on the grill and threw them all to the white tiger.
The gigantic body of the white tiger leaped into the air and accurately caught the giant roasted fish that the youth had thrown at it. It then happily landed on the side and started to enjoy the fragrant roasted fish.
Just like that, a man and a tiger quietly sat on the lakeside as they enjoyed the delicious grilled fish. Not long after, a piece of grilled fish weighing several tens of kilograms was wiped clean by the man and the tiger, especially the white tiger.
After they finished enjoying the delicacies, the tiger and the man began to chat on the grass by the lakeside.
"Hey, Xiao Tian, I saw two old men sneaking around these past few days, leaving early and returning late every day. Could it be that you want to find a mistress for me?" The youth lying on the grass asked the tiger beside him.
Fierce Tiger seemed to understand the young man's words and lightly growled at him. He seemed to completely agree with the young man's words.
Just as this man and tiger chatted to their heart's content, a long howl suddenly came from a distant mountain peak.
Hearing this long howl, the youth and the tiger leapt up from the ground at almost the same time.
"Crap, the two old men are back. Hurry, Xiao Tian, we will go back immediately. If the two old men find out that we are slacking off by the river while we are training, the amount of training tomorrow might increase again." The youth's expression changed drastically as he spoke to the white tiger beside him. Then, he turned into a bolt of lightning and sped toward the mountain peak behind the forest.
