The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 425: Taming the Tiger

"Listen, you! The name I've given you, you hear? If you dare refuse it... from now on, you're Gold. And let me tell you, Gold, if you don't stay put and dare to run off, I'll break those tiger legs of yours!" Daniel threatened the mighty Tiger King.

"Roarrr..." The Tiger King protested with a growl that filled the air. It seemed to agree with the name, but it didn’t like being confined to the artificial mountain—it longed for freedom. The Tiger King, fierce with spirit, would rather die than lose its freedom.

"You don't want to stay in this fake mountain, wanna roam free on Spirit Hill? Fine! You can! I’ll keep the gates open for you—all the time, so you can leave whenever. But here’s the deal: come back here every night. If you dare to skip a night and I catch you, I’ll spank you so hard your stripes will hurt!"

With that, Daniel gave the tiger a slap on its rear. "Roar!" The tiger yelped. "Got it now?" "Roar!" "No growling. If you understand, wiggle that tail!"

Daniel's request to wiggle the tail seemed to amuse Beauty to no end. She poked him and said, "Country boy, it's a Tiger King, not a dog. And you're asking it to wiggle its tail?"

"Why can't tigers wiggle their tails? They've got tails, right? If it's got a tail, it means it can wiggle!" Daniel defended his logic, tapping Gold on the head. "Gold, shake that tail!"

With another protest, "Roar!" the Tiger King actually started wiggling its tail.

Having truly tamed the Tiger King, Beauty and Daniel left Spirit Animal Valley, heading back to the Matthews' mansion, arriving well past midnight.

Jessica hadn't gone to bed yet. Dressed in her nightgown, she was lounging on the living room couch, deeply engrossed in a soap opera.
