White Tiger furrowed his brows and his two blood-colored eyes flickered with devious glint. His domineering voice echoed inside Chu Nan’s mind once again. “You’re not the original! Why are you hiding behind a fake face? Who are you? Where is that bastard who sealed this lord? This lord shall swallow him whole!”

Chu Nan was truly shocked. This sacred beast indeed lived up to his name. To have been able to see through the fact that his current appearance was not the real, White Tiger must have very keen senses.

“Why did you summon this lord?”

Chu Nan very much wanted to say that he had unintentionally summoned it. However, when he saw that fierce expression, he hesitated for a moment before replying inside his mind. “This.. in fact, I was afraid you would find it too stuffy inside the card, so I invited you out to have a breather.”

“Breather?” White Tiger sized up the somewhat timid Chu Nan and said, “What could this lord possibly not know what you are thinking? You actually dared to summon this lord without any reason? If you do not wish to be swallowed whole, you had better undo the seal right now! Otherwise… hmph!”

“Swallowed whole?” Chu Nan unconsciously retreated and shrunk back his neck. As he looked at the fiendish-looking White Tiger, he suddenly furrowed his brow and thought, ‘This White Tiger’s act of only threatening but not executing his threats is rather similar to how I deceived the druids. Can it be?’

When the White Tiger heard Chu Nan’s thoughts, he bared his sharp canines and his fierce voice sounded inside Chu Nan’s mind once again. “Human, don’t assume I am merely frightening you. If you don’t undo the seal right now, this lord will really swallow you whole!”

But much to his disappointment, Chu Nan was no longer afraid when he heard White Tiger’s continued harmless threats. After posing like an expert and deceiving people like it’s his day job, he was extremely familiar with the type of deception where one would only say threats but never act on them.

“Is that so? Then please swallow me whole.”

“You…” White Tiger paused.

Seeing that, Chu Nan revealed a smile and said, “If my guess is right, you are unable to attack the wielder of the card after you are sealed inside, right?”

White Tiger’s huge body shivered in total anger. “You…!”

Evidently, the sacred beast, who only possessed powerful destructive abilities, was far inferior in the art of deceiving compared to Chu Nan, who had already been accustomed to acting like an expert.

“Raise your left paw…”

Before Chu Nan could finish his sentence, White Tiger’s left paw was raised up high.

“Stick out your tongue…”

The White Tiger’s long tongue immediately rolled out like a panting dog.

“You! How dare you humiliate this lord as such!” A fierce glint flashed through White Tiger’s eyes as he raised his legs with intentions to approach Chu Nan. However, he realized that he was unable to move his legs.

Any living being sealed inside the card was unable to harm the holder; this was a rule that Chu Nan did not know, but the White Tiger was well aware of.

Receiving a glare from White Tiger, goosebumps surfaced all over Chu Nan’s body. Even though no physical harm was done just yet, just that fierce glare had caused Chu Nan’s heart to beat faster.

He looked at White Tiger, who he could call upon whenever he liked, then at his two bodyguards who had been intimidated by it until not daring to even move a single step. Chu Nan honestly regretted it so much he wanted to give himself two tight slaps. There was already a powerful White Tiger bodyguard that he could summon anytime, so why did he go through the trouble to cheat those two fellas to be his bodyguards?

“My apologies, I was doing an experiment.” Chu Nan nonchalantly waved his hand to White Tiger and said in his mind, “You can return to the card. I’ll summon you when I need you.”

“Return?” White Tiger blanked out. “According to the rules of the seal card, your abilities are insufficient to control this lord. Therefore, this lord should obtain a corresponding remuneration whenever I am summoned. Otherwise, you will no longer be able to summon this lord before your abilities have improved.”

“Remuneration?” Looking at White Tiger’s honest expression, Chu Nan did not dare to take a gamble after thinking through it thrice. He straightforwardly asked, “Then what remuneration should I give you?”

“Magic beasts crystals and cores, superior energy crystals or dragon crystals will suffice. It will be calculated accordingly based on what you summoned this lord for.” White Tiger explained in all seriousness. “However, as long as you summon this lord, you will still need to pay the summoning costs even if you do not require this lord to do anything.”

“Isn’t that basic fees? Something like as long as you hop on a cab, you will have to pay the basic fee be it if you are travelling one hundred meters or two kilometers?”

“What’s basic fees?” White Tiger was puzzled.

Chu Nan clicked his tongue and said, “You won’t understand even if I explain. So you require magic cores, right?”

Opening the spatial bracelet, Chu Nan took out a Medusa magic core and said, “This should suffice.”

White Tiger narrowed his eyes and said, “Too little.”

“What?” Chu Nan jumped back. “This is a Medusa magic core! It’s a level 1 Earth Realm magic beast for goodness sake!”

“Level 1 Earth Realm?” White Tiger clicked his tongue in contempt. “This lord is a sacred beast, what is an Earth Realm magic beast when compared to my greatness?”

After thinking it through, White Tiger was correct. In the face of a sacred beast, a level 1 Earth Realm beast was nothing. He then took out another Medusa Queen core and said, “How about this?”

“Not enough.”

“What? The Medusa Queen’s core is…”

“This lord is a sacred beast.” White Tiger used the same fact to shut him up.

Chu Nan flared up as his two Earth Grade magic cores had been regarded as worthless. “Alright then! Minotaur magic core!”

“Not enough.”

“Great Minotuar magic core!”

“It’s still lacking.”

“Thunderbird’s magic core!”

“This… it’s still lacking.”

“Flying Dragon’s dragon crystal!”

White Tiger’s eyes brightened and laughed. “That’s enough.”

“A flying dragon’s crystal… the basic fee is sure expensive.” Chu Nan clicked his tongue and handed the crystal to the White Tiger. “Hurry up and take your remuneration, and return to the seal card.”

“Not enough.”

When Chu Nan heard the White Tiger’s response, similar to having his tail stepped on, he jumped back in fear. “Didn’t you say it was enough just a moment ago?”

The White Tiger looked at Chu Nan in all seriousness. “The enough this lord meant, was inclusive of all the cores you had brought out earlier on.”
