My Fierce Tigress Wife

Chapter 94: How to Take Care of Kids

In the twinkling of an eye, another nine days had gone by.

This morning, Big Treasure and Little Treasure came to test his patience again and whined for their mother. Despite trying several times the methods that he’d used in the past, they simply didn’t work. He really felt very resigned, and he wished he could knock out these two little pixies biting his sleeves.

Fortunately, his rationality overpowered his rashness.

These were his kids. He mustn’t do that.

However, he suddenly felt rather displeased.

He had never seen these two little fellows ask for him in the same way before.

Those two rascals without a conscience. What’s so great about Mommy?

No matter how wonderful she is, can she possibly be better than Daddy?

Daddy can play exciting games with you. Can Mommy do it?

Daddy can even bring you into the sky to catch the birds and bring you into the ocean to fish for turtles. Can Mommy do it?

Two little dimwits. Don’t you know how to take the fantastic opportunity while your mother isn’t around to have some good fun? Yet, you’re looking for her every day. How silly.

He secretly rolled his eyes. Suddenly, inspiration hit him, and he thought of a good idea.

His expression sobered up, and he asked seriously, “Cough. How about Daddy teach the two of you a skill today?”

Big Treasure and Little Treasure, who were in the midst of throwing tantrums because they wanted their mother, couldn’t help but have their curiosity piqued. Successfully distracted, they looked at their father with their big eyes.

Wang Hu’s lip corners quirked upward, and he said in the same tone, “As tigers, one of the skills you must learn is how to fight. You can give up on learning other things, but fighting is something that you absolutely must learn.

“Fighting starts from learning in practicum. How about this? Big Treasure, Little Treasure. Why don’t the two of you fight with each other while Daddy watches? Daddy will reward the winner with one, no, two extra pieces of meat during mealtime today. How does that sound?”

Big Treasure and Little Treasure blinked, seemingly considering the viability of the suggestion.

A mix of mirth and anticipation filled Wang Hu’s eyes as he said, “Little Treasure, think about how Big Treasure doesn’t like Sakura. He even criticized Sakura.”

Little Treasure’s eyes widened at once. Seemingly having recalled what had happened in the past, she glared at her elder brother in anger.

Big Treasure was still rather lost. He looked at his father and then at his younger sister, unable to react.

Wang Hu blinked and immediately added, “Big Treasure, think about it. Little Treasure wanted to watch Cardcaptor Sakura in the past and didn’t allow you to watch other cartoons.”

When he saw that Big Treasure still wasn’t angry yet, he said, “Even when she was full, she wouldn’t give her excess food to you, Big Treasure.”

The moment he said that, Big Treasure’s eyes also widened, and he glanced unhappily at his younger sister. At once, he started to make a fuss.

Roar~!

“Little Treasure, you’re a stinky younger sister. Why won’t you give the food you can’t finish to Big Treasure?”

Roar~!

“I just won’t. That’s for saying bad things about Sakura, Big Treasure,” rebutted a pouting Little Treasure in her childish voice.

Roar~!

“In that case, if I say good things about Sakura, will Little Treasure give me her excess food next time?” asked a hopeful Big Treasure who wasn’t angry anymore.

Wang Hu secretly curled his lip. That greedy little rascal. He had no moral integrity at all.

Little Treasure tilted her little head to the side. After giving it a moment’s thought, she shook her head and replied to him firmly.

Roar~!

“No, Little Treasure won’t give you her things.”

Wang Hu’s lip corners curled upward. Not bad, that was a tiger’s style, alright.

Tigers should be territorial about their food. They had to form these good habits from young.

He had also been like that and had been territorial about his food when he was young. It was only because he had been the fullest and had grown to become the most muscular that he could teach those two disobedient younger brothers a lesson.

Of course, given Big Treasure and Little Treasure’s environment, they actually didn’t need to be overly territorial about their food.

However, being territorial of one’s food was a legacy passed down in the tigers’ DNA. Wang Hu felt that it wasn’t anything good to abandon it.

After all, different species naturally had to be taught differently. Even if they had invincible parents, it was for the best that they didn’t abandon some tiger traditions.

Big Treasure was thoroughly enraged. His little mind simply couldn’t understand why Little Treasure wouldn’t give them to him.

Thus, he naturally blamed Little Treasure for it.

Howl! Howl!

“Little Treasure is a stinky little sister. Big Treasure doesn’t want a stinky little sister like you anymore.”

Little Treasure didn’t back down. Despite her young age, she was already quite the picture of a tigress. She responded even more loudly.

Howl! Howl! Howl!

“Big Treasure is a stinky big brother. Little Treasure doesn’t want you as her big brother anymore either. Little Treasure hates Big Treasure the most.”

As she spoke, as if her anger wasn’t satiated, her paw went flying toward Big Treasure right away.

Caught off-guard, Big Treasure was smacked on the face. However, he immediately retaliated.

The two little fellows weren’t too fastidious about their moves either. They became entangled haphazardly with each other, constantly rolling about on the ground.

The sight made Wang Hu frown. What an embarrassment to tigers.

Even if they were just cubs, which cub out there would be this bad at fighting?

It was all Silly Girl’s fault. She had coddled them too much.

Tigers were different from humans. Tiger cubs learned how to battle ever since they were young, and their first opponents and sparring partners were none other than their siblings.

All the tiger siblings he knew grew up fighting with one another.

It was just like Wang Hu himself. If he hadn’t educated his two stinky younger brothers back then and eventually honed his skills to an extraordinary level, thereby laying a foundation for the future; he might not necessarily be this strong.

The same went for Old Second and Old Third. Had they not honed their skills to an extraordinary level thanks to his education, they might not necessarily have even survived later on.

However, Silly Girl simply refused to let those two little fellows fight.

That Silly Girl had such a lack of foresight despite her bad temper.

What was he to do? Their only option was to let him, a concerned father, guide them.

That pair of eyes that were cold and awe-inspiring toward outsiders had curved into slits at this point. He spoke constantly in an unusually lighthearted and relaxed tone.

“Are you stupid, Big Treasure? Use your little paw to counterattack. Don’t keep taking the blows with your head. Is your head made of metal?”

“Little Treasure, you also have your tail. Whip him, whip him.”

“Sigh, don’t always fight head-on. You must know how to dodge. Dodge, get it? We’re tigers, not bears.”

…

About a kilometer away, Su Ling—who was trying to overcome her fear and high-spiritedly battling the vicious tigress’ mighty aura—secretly watched the entire thing from start to finish. She was rendered completely speechless and had rolled her eyes umpteen times.

My lord, can you put that extremely happy expression away?

Should that vicious tigress see it…

Su Ling shuddered, too scared to imagine any further. She made up her mind—she would never say anything about it even if anyone killed her.

Otherwise, the demon lord would definitely swallow her alive.

Wang Hu knew that Su Ling had witnessed it, of course. However, he wasn’t bothered at all. So what even if she had seen it?

He was educating his children in an open and aboveboard manner. He had a clear conscience. His actions were right and justified.

Of course, he was also sure that the cowardly fox definitely wouldn’t say much.

In that case, what did he need to be concerned about?

They fought for more than half an hour straight. At last, the two tired little fellows who were breathing heavily stopped; they were out of strength.

Their originally snowy-white and adorable selves had also turned into little gray tigers.

Wang Hu found this extremely entertaining. Apart from being a little tired, they were completely fine anyway. Of course, he would be entertained.

Roar~!

“What are you smiling about, Daddy?”

Suddenly, a puzzled Little Treasure asked as she was limp on the ground from exhaustion.

Wang Hu’s expression sobered at once, and he replied seriously, “You saw wrongly, Little Treasure. Daddy wasn’t smiling. Daddy is very serious here, cough.

“And now, Daddy shall announce the outcome.”

The two little fellows perked up again and looked at their father with widened eyes.

Wang Hu said with a stern face, “Big Treasure and Little Treasure’s first ultimate battle has ended in a draw.”

Upon hearing his announcement, looks of dissatisfaction came over the two little fellows’ faces at once.

Roar~!

“Daddy, Little Treasure obviously won.”

Roar~!

“No, Big Treasure is the one that won. You’re lying, you stinky little sister.”

Roar~!

“You’re lying, stinky big brother. Little Treasure is the one that won. Little Treasure won.”

…

At the sight of the two little fellows getting into another argument and forgetting even the reason why they had even fought in the first place, Wang Hu’s lip corners quirked upward quickly before disappearing again. He felt fairly triumphant.

Two little dummies without a conscience. Thinking of contending with your father? What a joke.

Do you think your father can’t deal with you?

“Alright, alright. Stop arguing. Both of you will be rewarded with two extra pieces of meat today,” said a calm and composed Wang Hu.

The moment he said that, the argument came to a stop, and both of them revealed looks of joy and surprise.

Then, they continued to lay limp on the ground as though they were out of strength. They didn’t want to speak anymore.

A smile appeared on Wang Hu’s countenance again. He would have peace and quiet again now.

Suddenly, he realized that he seemed to have found the best way to cajole his children.

Now that they’d had their first ultimate battle, they could also have their second, their third… And so on.

If those two little fellows came to test his patience again, then he would let them hold an ultimate battle.

Kids, right? They were definitely going to fight, let alone when they were tigers.

Not only would it train them, but it also resolved his problems and even gave him entertainment. It practically killed a few birds with one stone.

As for making them successfully fight, it couldn’t get any easier.

As expected, taking care of kids actually wasn’t that difficult. One just needed to find the right method. Like him, for example. He had precisely found the most suitable method.

However, he mustn’t let Silly Girl know about it.

“Big Treasure, Little Treasure. You mustn’t tell Mommy that the two of you had your first ultimate battle today. This is our little secret,” said Wang Hu as he cajoled the two little fellows.

Both Big Treasure and Little Treasure tilted their little heads. Puzzlement flickered in their eyes as though they were asking for the reason why.

Wang Hu spoke in a serious tone, “Mommy dislikes Big Treasure and Little Treasure fighting and being disobedient the most. If she knew, she definitely won’t like Big Treasure and Little Treasure anymore and would even scold Big Treasure and Little Treasure. So you mustn’t tell Mommy, not even a word of it.”

When he put it that way, Big Treasure and Little Treasure panicked at once. They nodded and fought each other to reply first.

Howl! Howl!

“Little Treasure doesn’t want Mommy to dislike Little Treasure. Little Treasure won’t tell Mommy.”

“Big Treasure doesn’t want that either.”

A satisfied Wang Hu nodded. Then, he reminded them again. “Remember, you mustn’t mention Daddy’s instructions either. Otherwise, Mommy will get mad.”

The two little fellows nodded very seriously. Their solemn little faces agreeing to something as if it was very important… were extremely adorable.

Wang Hu was just about to cuddle them as a reward when he noticed the dust on them. His movements paused right away, and he waved, intending to clean the dust off them before doing anything else.

However, it was at this point that his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he turned toward the nearby cave with joy and surprise.

Boom!

An intense explosion rang out with a boom in the mountains. That aura, which had been becoming stronger and stronger over the month, intensified rapidly and tremendously again. As though a volcanic eruption, an overwhelmingly mighty force swept into the surroundings.

The high-spirited Su Ling—who had, with much trouble, come to feel a little better during the last few days—fell limp onto the ground right away.

That vicious tigress had become stronger again!

Wang Hu had a big smile on his face. Silly Girl had succeeded. The ninth round of metamorphosis was completed. She was going to come out of seclusion soon.

He suppressed his joy and quickly reacted. A golden light formed around his palm and brushed lightly over the two little fellows who had suddenly become re-energized and were constantly whooping and cheering.

At once, they turned into two clean and adorable little white tigers again.

Wang Hu breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. After a brief moment of contemplation, he lifted his head and looked at the sky. Then, as he waved both hands, vast, majestic golden divine power rushed into the sky as though a gushing river, forming a golden screen in midair and covering the mountains within a radius of 50 kilometers around where they were.
