Covering the Sky: Simultaneous transmigration, but both clones are women.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the withered leaves were still swirling in the air before slowly drifting down.

Ye Chen stood beside the ruins-like bushes, looking down at the snow-white giant tiger he had kicked away.

Upon closer inspection, the tiger demon was even larger than he had anticipated.

He lay sprawled on the ground with all four legs spread out, yet his shoulders and back reached the height of his head.

Its pure white fur was now covered in dirt and broken leaves, and dark red blood seeped from several cuts caused by broken branches, which looked particularly glaring against the white fur.

The giant tiger struggled to stand up.

With its forelimbs braced on the ground, its massive body swayed twice before crashing to the ground.

Those eerie green eyes were fixed on Ye Chen, the pupils shrinking to slits. Gone was the previous cat-and-mouse composure; in its place was a wild, instinctive fear.

It is trembling.

Ye Chen stood on tiptoe to meet those deep green eyes at eye level.

"Can you understand me?"

The giant tiger did not respond, but let out a low whimper from deep in its throat, as if it were a signal of submission.

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, reached out, and then placed his hand on the top of the giant tiger's head.

The fur is thick, but underneath you can feel the hard skull. The warm touch comes through your palm and carries a vibrant life force.

The giant tiger seemed to sense his goodwill, and its tense body finally relaxed, its massive body slumping to the ground, panting heavily.

Han Meng stood not far away, holding a machete, and witnessed the whole process.

At this moment, his mouth was slightly open, and his dark face was filled with complex expressions.

There was a sense of awe, relief, and an indescribable envy.

Zhao Yan also got up from the ground and limped over to Han Meng's side.

His glasses lenses were cracked, making it difficult for him to see clearly by squinting, but he still tried his best to keep his eyes fixed on Ye Chen's direction.

"Brother Meng".

His voice was somewhat hoarse, carrying the exhaustion of someone who had survived a close call.

"Um."

"It seems like we've really encountered a deity!"

Han Meng remained silent for a moment, took a deep breath, tucked the wood-chopping knife into his waistband, and patted the dirt off his hands.

"Let's go, let's go over there."

The two of them trudged through the bushes that had been battered and broken by the giant tiger, and stood behind Ye Chen.

Han Meng opened his mouth, wanting to say something to express his gratitude, but the words felt too inadequate.

What good is a simple "thank you" when someone saves your life?

"Brother Ye."

He finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse, "I won't thank you enough. If you ever need anything, just let me know!"

Ye Chen waved his hand, his tone indifferent: "It's nothing. You only came to this place because of me."

Han Meng shook his head and said seriously, "One thing at a time. We're paid to do this job. Coming here was our own choice, and it has nothing to do with you. But you saved my life and Lao Zhao's life, that's a fact."

Zhao Yan nodded vigorously in agreement.

Ye Chen glanced at them but didn't say anything more polite.

He turned to look at the giant tiger, which had recovered and was licking a shallow wound on its front leg.

Noticing Ye Chen's gaze, it immediately stopped what it was doing, raised its head, and stared straight at him with its dark green eyes.

The aura emanating from this tiger demon was quite strong, estimated to be at least at the Bitter Sea Realm level. In a place like the outskirts of Kunlun Mountain, it could be considered a minor overlord.

But in front of him, he fell to the ground with a single kick.

"You're quite pragmatic."

Ye Chen reached out and patted the giant tiger's head, his tone filled with satisfaction. "Alright, since you can understand human speech, you'll follow me from now on, as my mount or something!"

The giant tiger let out a low whimper, as if to express submission, or perhaps to convey some complex emotion.

However, just as Ye Chen was about to withdraw his hand, the giant tiger suddenly turned its head slightly, and its pair of dark green eyes glanced towards the deeper part of the valley.

His eyes held a mixture of urgency and resentment.

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and glanced in the direction it had been looking.

Deep in the valley, dusk was falling, and the outline of the cave was faintly visible in the darkness. Further away, the Kunlun Mountains stretched endlessly, their peaks layered upon each other, their depths unfathomable.

He lowered his head and looked at the giant tiger again.

The giant tiger gently nudged in that direction with its nose, then turned its head, its dark green eyes showing a hint of grievance.

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"You mean... something is chasing you over there?"

He carefully chose his words, tapping the giant tiger's nose with his finger. "You were chased out?"

The giant tiger's eyes suddenly lit up, and its huge head bobbed up and down, its movements clumsy yet urgent.

Ye Chen was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Good heavens, this tiger demon wasn't just wandering around out of boredom; it was chased out from afar by something and ran here in a panic, only to bump into him.

He patted the giant tiger's head, a slight smile playing on his lips, his tone tinged with amusement: "Alright, since you're with me, you can't let this go unpunished. Once things are settled here, I'll take you back and get our revenge!"

The giant tiger's body stiffened slightly.

Those deep green eyes stared straight at Ye Chen, his face reflected in the pupils, as if judging whether the words were true or false.

Ye Chen didn't avoid its gaze, but gently patted its forehead, his tone calm yet firm: "I mean what I say!"

The giant tiger remained silent for a moment.

Then, it slowly lowered its head and gently rested its enormous head in Ye Chen's palm, letting out a low gurgling sound from deep in its throat.

A mighty tiger demon reduced to a mount.

But if the person riding on your back is willing to stand up for you...

It doesn't seem like it's unacceptable!

Han Meng watched in stunned silence.

"Brother Ye, this...this tiger wants to follow you?"

"What, you want to ride it too?"

Ye Chen turned his head and glanced at him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Han Meng quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I just think it's too amazing. This thing is a man-eating beast, and you subdued it with just one slap."

"It probably hasn't eaten any people."

Ye Chen pried open the giant tiger's mouth to examine it, then sniffed its scent, and shook his head. "This guy's scent is very clean; it hasn't been tainted with human blood. It's probably always stayed in this valley and hasn't seen many people!"

Han Meng and Zhao Yan exchanged a glance, both seeing relief in each other's eyes.

It's good that you haven't eaten human food.

A man-eating tiger and a non-man-eating tiger are two completely different concepts.

Su Rou emerged from the cave at some point, still holding the now-cold cup of coffee in her hand.

She stood at the cave entrance, staring at the snow-white giant tiger, bigger than an off-road vehicle, lying on the ground. Her eyes were wide open, her mouth slightly agape, and she looked like a statue.

"Brother Chen..."

Her voice was a little unsteady, "What happened?"

"Oh, he willingly submitted to me, so I reluctantly accepted it!"

Ye Chen stood up, patted the dirt off his hands, and said, "By the way, it doesn't have a name yet. Do you want to give it one?"

Su Rou opened her mouth, but her mind went completely blank.

Choosing a name?

How to name a tiger?

She looked down at the coffee cup in her hand, then looked up at the enormous creature, and swallowed hard.

"How about we call him... Big White?"

Ye Chen: "..."

Han Meng: "..."

Zhao Yan: "..."

The giant tiger raised its head, a hint of resentment flashing in its dark green eyes.

It seems they're not entirely satisfied with the name.

Ye Chen patted its head and sighed, "Never mind, we'll think about it later. You stay here and don't run around, I have something to do."

The giant tiger obediently buried its head between its front legs and closed its eyes.

It looked just like a gentle big cat.
