Chapter 73 The Forgotten Tiger Overlord
After dinner, Aunt He Li personally led Jiang Zhiyu upstairs to the second floor.
"Yuyu, you'll stay in this room," He Li said with a smile, pushing open a south-facing door. "This is the largest guest room in the house; it's sunny and quiet."
Jiang Zhiyu walked in and immediately saw that the room had been cleaned spotlessly. The large princess bed was covered with brand-new pink floral sheets, and the duvet cover and pillowcases were also brand new, still smelling of fresh laundry detergent. The curtains by the window had been changed to a matching lace style, swaying gently in the breeze, exuding an indescribable warmth.
"Your uncle went out to run some errands this afternoon and bought you some clothes and jewelry," He Li said, pointing to the wardrobe and several jewelry boxes on the dressing table, her tone full of laughter. "I didn't know what kind you liked, so I just bought some. If you don't like them, your cousin can take you to the mall to pick some more tomorrow."
Jiang Zhiyu looked at the overflowing wardrobe and the exquisite jewelry box on the dressing table, feeling somewhat helpless.
She really can't stay in the US for very long. At most, she can stock up on goods for another half month. After dealing with the semiconductor lab matters, she'll have to find a way to return to China.
But seeing her aunt bustling around and beaming with joy, she couldn't bear to spoil everyone's fun.
"Thank you, Auntie," Jiang Zhiyu smiled sincerely, "I like it very much."
"I'm glad you like it, I'm glad you like it!" He Li smiled, her eyes crinkling, and added a few more words of advice, "If you need anything, just tell your aunt, don't be shy. It's getting late, you should get some rest, you've had a long day."
"Yes, Auntie, you should get some rest too."
After seeing her aunt off, Jiang Zhiyu closed the door, sat on the soft princess bed, and felt somewhat sentimental.
Having survived so many years in the apocalypse, let alone such an exquisite princess bed, having a safe place to sleep was a luxury. Now, suddenly living in such a cozy room and being cared for by so many people, she was actually a little unaccustomed to it.
But this feeling... isn't so bad.
She looked around to make sure there were no security cameras or other people in the room, and with a thought, she vanished from the room in an instant.
---
As soon as I entered the space, a deafening tiger's roar came rushing towards me.
"roar--!"
Jiang Zhiyu was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she had been too busy lately, rescuing Song Yanzhou and the others, moving the laboratory, and reuniting with relatives. In addition, the space had been upgraded again, and she had completely forgotten about Hu Batian.
"Host, you finally remembered Tiger Tyrant!" 0047's voice rang in her mind, tinged with schadenfreude. "It's probably been cursing you for days, saying you've found a new love and forgotten your old flame, busy being all lovey-dovey with humans and completely ignoring its old buddy."
Jiang Zhiyu: "..."
What's going on?
Her lips twitched, and she instantly teleported to the mountain range where Hu Batian was located.
After the space was upgraded, the original Dushan Mountain has become a continuous mountain range, covered with lush greenery and towering trees of all kinds. The air is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, and the ecological environment is many times better than before.
In the distance, on an open field, a huge tiger was lying on a rock, basking in the sun.
Hearing the noise, it suddenly raised its head, saw Jiang Zhiyu, its eyes lit up, then it snorted arrogantly, turned its big head to the side, and pretended not to see her.
But the way its eyes kept glancing in her direction, and the way its tail unconsciously swayed slightly, had already given away its intentions.
Jiang Zhiyu couldn't help but laugh, walked over, and reached out to stroke its fluffy head.
"What? You're angry now that we haven't seen each other for a while?"
Hu Batian felt comfortable being touched by her, and he made a gurgling sound in his throat. However, he still awkwardly turned his head to the side, but his body honestly moved closer to her, and his big head kept rubbing against her trouser leg.
Jiang Zhiyu then realized that Hu Batian had grown quite a bit since then.
It now looks imposing, with a tail that's almost three meters long, glossy fur, and sharp eyes—it's definitely not to be trifled with. It probably weighs at least 300 kilograms; it's a far cry from the malnourished creature I first saw it in.
"How is it? Are you getting used to living here?" Jiang Zhiyu smiled and rubbed its ears.
"Of course!" 0047's proud voice rang out. "The mountain's ecosystem has basically recovered completely. There are all kinds of wild animals, and Tiger Tyrant has more food than it can eat. Plus, with the blessing of the spiritual spring water, it's no wonder it's grown like this! Now it's the king of these mountains, and no animal dares to mess with it."
As they were talking, Hu Batian suddenly stood up, nuzzled his big head against Jiang Zhiyu's chest, took two steps back, growled at her, and pawed at the ground, looking eager to try.
Jiang Zhiyu raised an eyebrow.
Oh, so you want to test your skills against her?
It just so happens that she's been busy with various things lately and hasn't had time to train in a long time. She also wants to see if she can still beat Hu Batian without using her superpowers.
"Alright," Jiang Zhiyu cracked her knuckles and beckoned to Hu Batian with her finger, "Come on, Batian, let me see how much you've improved lately."
Upon receiving the command, Hu Batian instantly became excited, let out a low roar, and pounced on her.
Its pounce was incredibly powerful, accompanied by a whistling sound. If it landed squarely, an ordinary person would probably be sent flying.
Jiang Zhiyu's eyes narrowed, she dodged to the side, and at the same time punched its front paw.
A muffled "thump" was heard.
Jiang Zhiyu felt a numbness in her arm and couldn't help but take two steps back.
Goodness, that's some serious power!
Tiger Overlord missed his attack, immediately turned around, and lashed out with his tail like a steel whip, accompanied by the sound of air being torn apart.
Jiang Zhiyu bent down to dodge, and at the same time reached out and grabbed its tail, pulling hard.
Hu Batian was pulled so hard he stumbled, but he didn't panic at all. Instead, he used the force to turn around suddenly and slapped her shoulder with his other paw.
Jiang Zhiyu released her grip and stepped back, barely dodging the claw, secretly surprised.
Hu Batian's progress is too fast!
Although she didn't use any special abilities, her physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, and now she was actually starting to feel like she couldn't keep up.
The man and the tiger were locked in a fierce battle in the open space.
Tiger Overlord's movements became increasingly swift and fierce. His claws left deep claw marks on the ground, and his tail could sweep away even small trees in half.
Jiang Zhiyu dodged constantly with her agile movements, occasionally throwing a counterattack punch, but she couldn't cause any real damage to Hu Batian.
After playing for about half an hour, Jiang Zhiyu was finally exhausted and waved her hand, saying, "Alright, alright, I'm done playing. I give up."
If the fight continues, she'll probably have to use her superpowers.
Without her superpowers, she really is no match for Hu Batian right now.
With a single swipe of its claws, this thing can really send her flying several meters.
Hu Batian also stopped, proudly shook his big head, walked to her side, and rubbed his head against her arm, looking smug and arrogant, as if to say, "Look how awesome I am."
Jiang Zhiyu chuckled and patted its head, panting as she said, "Wow, you're quite something now."
She was soaked in sweat, but felt incredibly comfortable. All the fatigue and stress that had been building up over this period seemed to have been released in this fight.
"Alright, have fun by yourself," Jiang Zhiyu patted its back. "This place is much better than where you used to live. You can do whatever you want here. By the way, I'll find you a playmate in a while, okay?"
Tiger Tyrant, who was swishing his tail arrogantly, perked up his ears instantly upon hearing this. He turned his head sharply, his two copper bell-like tiger eyes wide open, staring at Jiang Zhiyu with surprise and disbelief in them.
She was so incredibly cute.
Jiang Zhiyu was amused by its appearance and her heart softened.
It seems that Hu Batian is indeed too lonely.
In this vast mountain range, it was the only tiger, without even a single one of its kind, so it's no wonder it was angry.
"Alright, it's settled then," Jiang Zhiyu said with a smile. "I'll go find it for you tomorrow."
Anyway, she was planning to go to the market to look at electronic products, and while she was at it, she would go to the zoo to pick out a few companions for Tiger Tyrant.

Jiang Zhiyu took a refreshing bath in the spiritual spring, changed into clean clothes, and sighed contentedly.
If humans weren't social animals, she would love to live in that space forever.
The air is fresh, the environment is beautiful, and there's an endless supply of spring water—it couldn't be more comfortable.
