Mu Chen's words were light and casual, but they touched Little Tiger in an inexplicable way. Growing up, he had always been an outsider among his people. Besides his doting grandmother, the person who cared for him most was now Mu Chen. Ever since they met, Mu Chen had looked after and protected him like an older brother. His eyes reddened and his nose stung. He was on the verge of tears but fiercely blinked them back. After giving Mu Chen a firm nod, he carefully put away the simple Storage Ring. It held not only the Magical Beast carcasses Mu Chen had collected, but also Mu Chen's profound care for him.
"Brother Mu Chen! I will become a strong warrior!!"
Wiping the corner of his eye, Little Tiger made a silent vow. 'I will become a warrior, one strong enough to protect Brother Mu Chen!' At that moment, the goals of both Little Tiger and Qing Lei became centered on Mu Chen!
