Ch128 - Daily Life in the Immortal Realm (Extra 2)
“Meow!” The snow-colored kitten waved his four paws, not that he did not want to resist, but his grandfather was a divine beast who had lived for tens of thousands of years. His vast immortal power was not something he, a kitten, who had just ascended, could resist. He had no choice but to turn into his kitten form, under his grandfather’s intimidating pressure.
The big tiger leaped up with the kitten in his mouth. Mo Tianliao immediately got up from the ground, used the divine everlasting wood method of restraining his breath to conceal the immortal energy of his whole body, and quickly followed.
The floating island was very wide. The big tiger took the kitten across a small river, through the dense forest, and came to an open clearing. Mo Tianliao had followed all the way, and had already memorized the topography of the floating island in his mind. There were no high mountains on the island, only some low hills, full of green grasslands and verdant trees. In the shade of green trees, there were many exquisite huts.
According to the Old Bastard’s words, there was no other clan than the White Tiger clan on this island, so there should have been a magnificent immortal residence.
However, there was none.
Piles and piles of big, fluffy tigers were piled up on top of the clearing, lazily basking in the sun. When they saw their Grandpa coming back with the kitten, all the tigers raised their heads and stared at them with shiny eyes.
Mo Tianliao turned into a tree and stood quietly on the side.
The little kitten was held by his grandfather. He looked left and right, trying to find Mo Tianliao in the forest. Mo Tianliao, who had turned into a big tree, shook its leaves and beckoned the cat to follow.
Seeing that silly tree, Qingtong was relieved, and he lowered his four claws, meowing pitifully.
A tiger about the same size as the Grandfather rushed out, and slapped the Grandfather on his head: “Roarr– Put my good grandson down quickly. Don’t you see how scared he is?”
Grandpa was beaten and didn’t dare to fight back. He obediently put down the kitten in his mouth. As soon as the kitten landed, he quickly ran to hide under a green-barked tree by the edge of the woods. Seeing that his Grandpa was about to chase him, he climbed up to the tree, holding a small branch and not letting go.
“Look, how much you have scared my grandson!” The tigress sprang up, slapped Grandpa down with a paw, and beat him solidly.
“Roarr–“
The kitten crouched on the tree, wagging its tail leisurely.
A twig slowly rolled over and caressed the kitten’s head.
After Grandma had beaten up Grandpa, she threw Grandpa to Great-Grandpa and asked him to continue teaching him a lesson.
Only then did Mo Tianliao discover that these big fur balls were sleeping on top of each other. And when Grandpa was thrown over, the pile of fur balls moved automatically, revealing a huge White Tiger underneath.
The White Tiger was thirty feet long, with a pair of copper bell eyes on its huge head. It was the oldest generation of the White Tiger clan now, Qingtong’s great grandfather.
Great-Grandpa caught his son, who had been thrown over by his daughter-in-law, and raised his big paw to symbolically slap him, before holding him between his two paws and sticking out his big tongue to lick his fur.
Grandpa struggled unsuccessfully for a moment, then resigned himself to lying on that big paw and accepting his father’s caress.
Qingtong grew up in the human world, and felt that he was a grown-up tiger long ago. Unexpectedly, he became a cub amongst cubs in the Heavenly Realm. When the elders in the family saw him after he had freshly arrived, they coaxed and played for a few days, but only today, did they propose that he should go to the nursery school.
Grandma Tiger came over and turned into a delicate, slender and graceful immortal, and stretched out her hand to Qingtong on the tree: “My dear grandson, come to grandma.”
“Meow!” Qingtong held the branch firmly, so didn’t want it. Going to a damn nursery school, it was a shame. If Xuanji heard about it he would laugh himself out of his shell.
“All cubs go to the nursery school. Look at your third uncle and little aunt, they go there every day.” Grandma said and pointed to the pile of hairy balls, and two little tigers were pushed out. The little tiger was as big as a big cat, and it was chubby. There were clear black stripes in the snowy white fur, which was indeed the same as a tiger.
Qingtong’s eyes widened, his third uncle was already three thousand years old, and he was still in nursery school!
Two little tigers ran over and tried to climb to the tree. Grandma also jumped up, planning to hug the kitten, but rushed for nothing, because the big tree disappeared in an instant.
“Oh!” The little tigers, who had crawled halfway, fell on all fours and kicked their paws in a daze.
Mo Tianliao transformed into human form, holding the kitten to the ground and tried to escape, but found that there was such overwhelming pressure that he could not fly and could only roll on the ground. Feeling that the light overhead dimmed a lot, Mo Tianliao slowly looked up, and saw that he was fully surrounded by the furry tigers, and a particularly large one blocked the sun.
“Who are you?” Grandma frowned.
Grandpa took the opportunity to transform into its human form, broke away from Great-Grandpa’s big paws, fixed his tousled hair, and coughed lightly: “This kid wants to take Tongtong away.”
“Roarr–” All the tigers came together, baring their teeth.
Qingtong transformed into a human form and protected Mo Tianliao in front of them. “Don’t hurt him, he belongs to me, he’s my…” Qingtong originally wanted to say ‘he’s my husband’, but Mo Tianliao shook his hand, so he pursed his lips and changed his words, “My scratching post!”
Mo Tianliao was secretly relieved. Originally in the mortal world, Qingtong, at a few hundred years old, was old enough to marry him, but he didn’t expect that in the White Tiger Clan, Qingtong was still a cub. If someone’s grandparents knew he had a very intimate connection with their precious cub, he would be completely wiped out and for sure he wouldn’t be able to get out of the White Tiger Island alive today.
Grandpa tilted his head and looked at Mo Tianliao: “Roarr?” He turned out to be the body of a divine tree?
“I will go to nursery school, but I want him to follow.” Qingtong pointed at Mo Tianliao with his chin.
Mo Tianliao immediately turned into a tree trunk, a bare, everlasting tree without leaves and twigs.
The big tigers looked at this tree in amazement, their eyes lit up, grabbing the trunk! What a good catch!
The two little tigers, the third uncle and the little aunt, rushed over, clutching the endless wood and began to use their paws to scratch. Qingtong immediately turned into a snow-colored kitten, and slapped them away with his paw. The cat was little, but its strength was great. The third uncle turned somersault in the air and lay on the ground.
The third uncle and little aunt were born in the immortal world, because the environment in the immortal world was very peaceful, and the white tigers doted on their children, leading to their mediocre spells. Unlike Qingtong who grew up in the dangerous environment of the mortal world, the little cat would have no problem beating ten tigers at once.
Mo Tianliao turned into a human form and walked over to the several elders, and paid his respects: “Junior Mo Tianliao, just ascended to the Heavenly Realm, and I have lived with Qingtong in the mortal world for nearly a thousand years.”
“Father, this is a good catch.” Grandpa didn’t have anything to do with it and didn’t listen to him at all, instead he leaned on the ears of the giant tiger excitedly, discussing endlessly with the clan’s Great-Grandpa.
The Great-Grandpa tiger sat up and kicked his ears with his hind paws: “Roarr!”
“In this way, you will still be our Tongtong scratching post in the future, accompany him to the nursery school, and I will give you three thousand merit points every month.” Grandma waved her hand and put a beautiful bracelet on Qingtong.
Qingtong frowned, looking at the nymph bracelet. He raised his hand and was about to strike it down.
“This is a snack for going to nursery school.” Grandma said, putting the same thin ring around the necks of the third uncle and the aunt.
Qingtong struck the bracelet for a while, thought about it, and then struck it down and stuffed it into his storage bracelet.
Thus, Mo Tianliao got his first job in the Heavenly Realm—the White Tiger Clan’s scratching post, with a monthly salary of 3,000 merits.
Qingtong didn’t know where the nursery school was, so he followed third uncle and little aunt. The two little tigers were obviously already familiar with the road. They raised their paws, called out to a billow of auspicious clouds, jumped up happily, and flew straight to the east.
Mo Tianliao also picked up Qingtong, who didn’t want to walk, and drove up with the clouds to follow. The more they flew towards their destination, the more the location felt familiar. He didn’t realize it until a magnificent floating island appeared in front of him. Wasn’t this the floating island of the Green Dragon?
The two little tigers flew directly to the floating island without stopping.
There was not much difference between the Green Dragon Island and White Tiger Island, and the entire island was full of colorful flowers. As soon as the third uncle fell to the ground, he jumped into the flowers and startled countless butterflies.
The little aunt glanced at her elder brother disdainfully and turned into a beautiful young woman.
“Sister-in law, the nursery school is here?” Mo Tianliao didn’t put Qingtong down when he landed. Instead, he carried the kitten in his arms and got ready to run at any time.
“Yes, the nursery school was opened by the Green Dragon.” The aunt replied smoothly, and was immediately taken aback. “What did you call me?”
Mo Tianliao took out a puppet mouse from his wristband and stuffed it to the sister-in-law: “This is for the sister-in-law. It’s the first meeting ceremony gift.”
The aunt looked at the mouse in her hand curiously, and found it funny, and immediately acquiesced to Mo Tianliao’s title for her.
Bypassing the surrounding green hills, a gorgeous immortal palace appeared in front of them.
The wall was cyan immortal stone, the tiles were made up of crystal-clear ninth-heaven glazed tile, and the door was open. The yard was covered with thick cushions, and a huge green dragon was lying on the cushions.
The two little tigers immediately rushed to the big Green Dragon, grabbing the mane and jumping on the sturdy back. Many children had already gathered here.
The great Green Dragon raised his eyes and saw Mo Tianliao coming in with a cat in his arms. His eyes lit up and he turned into a human form to greet him: “Wood, Tongtong!”
“Shizun.” Mo Tianliao bowed his head in salute.
As the Green Dragon came over, a group of cubs also ran over. There were cubs of various divine beasts, such as the cub of Tiangou, Tianlang…and also human kids, such as the son of the Emperor of Heaven…
After Tianlang ascended, he was taken away by his own father, Tiangou. Tiangou insisted that Tianlang was still a cub, but he was too busy to take care of the child every day, so he threw the child to his original master, the Green Dragon to watch over.
Unexpectedly, when the Emperor of Heaven saw this, he felt that his prince had no playmates every day, and that he was also still young and immature, so he threw the prince over.
When the Snow Crane saw it, he sent his own noisy brood of birds…
So, the Green Dragon Floating Island became a nursery school inexplicably, and although the White Tiger Clan was fully staffed to look after their cubs, when they saw the others going, they also went, thinking that going to a nursery school was necessary, so they forced their tiger cubs to be sent.
Mo Tianliao looked at the group of noisy little guys around the Green Dragon’s feet and couldn’t help but feel a little sympathetic. He put his cat on Tianlang’s head to prevent those little guys from stepping on him. He looked around, but didn’t see Dan Xi.
The Green Dragon and the Vermillion Bird had been separated for eight thousand years, and their relationship was also very good, shouldn’t they stick together all the time? Was there something wrong?
“He…” Mingyan, who was feeding the children with snacks, raised his head and pointed to the rocking chair in the yard. Suddenly, he saw the rocking chair was now empty. Where did Dan Xi go?
“Tweet!” A clear and crisp cry came from his feet. Mingyan lowered his head and saw a particularly very fat red little bird with its small fiery furry wings exploding, crowding out a group of little cubs, opening its mouth to eat.
