Chapter 17: Influence

Currently, there is a live broadcast featuring a young female anchor in a food street. Although she looks decent, her figure is poor, and she doesn’t engage in explicit or revealing content during her broadcasts, so she doesn’t have much popularity.

However, today, she unexpectedly encountered a tiger with wings and realized that this was her chance to become famous!

After the appearance of the winged tiger, the crowd around went through initial surprise, curiosity, and excitement. Eventually, they all realized that staying here could make them become the tiger’s prey at any moment.

As a result, they all left, and some of the bolder ones gradually retreated after the police arrived.

However, the female anchor didn’t leave. She played a little trick and hid herself in the trunk of a car when the police came, successfully evading their search.

When the police left and the standoff between the tiger and the police began, she crawled from the trunk to the back seat, took out her phone, and started live streaming from a distance.

In just over half an hour, the number of viewers in the female anchor’s live stream had exceeded millions, indicating the high level of attention this incident had generated!

At this moment, the winged tiger had still been facing off against the police. It didn’t make any reckless moves. After the police made their preparations, they arranged a tranquilizer gun and shot at the winged tiger.

The winged tiger reacted quickly. It flapped its wings and flew into the sky. Along with its flight, numerous barrage comments flooded the live chat:

“A Winged Tiger!”

“So it can really fly! I thought its wings were edited by the anchor!”

“This is completely unscientific. The reason birds can fly is that their bone density is generally much lower than that of mammals. The largest existing bird, the albatross, weighs no more than 30 pounds. How can this 300-kilogram tiger fly?”

“The 200-kilogram Fengshen Winged Dragon thinks you’re talking nonsense and spat on you!”

In the footage, the winged tiger continued to dodge the tranquilizer gun attacks, but unfortunately, it couldn’t avoid the first shot.

Tranquilizers had a certain effect on mutated beasts, so the winged tiger felt increasingly weak and its speed slowed down. It was then hit by another three or four tranquilizer darts in the neck and waist. It couldn’t even flap its wings anymore and fell heavily from a height of over 20 meters, losing all movement.

The viewers were also very worried: “Oh no, will the winged tiger die from the fall?”

“Impossible! It already has wings. How could it die so easily? Brothers, what do you think caused this? Spiritual energy revival or biotechnology?”

“Spiritual energy revival? That’s nonsense. In my opinion, it’s some mad scientist conducting biological experiments using a tiger, and the test subject accidentally escaped!”

“Indeed, spiritual energy revival sounds cool, but it’s too far-fetched. I choose the mad scientist!”

The live stream ended there. After all, the winged tiger had been brought under control by the police, tightly bound and taken away. What else could the female anchor live stream?

Afterwards, Ye Xue didn’t even care about work and directly left the law firm to go home and find Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan had taken two days off due to his back injury, so he was still at home.

Ye Xue walked briskly and arrived at Ye Xuan’s bedroom, asking, “How did you know? A winged tiger really appeared!”

Ye Xuan smiled and said, “Sis, didn’t I tell you? I dreamed about it. Sis, I’m very certain that all my dreams will come true in reality!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xue suddenly asked, “So, is it true that I was killed by Zhou Yang?”

Ye Xuan nodded and said, “It’s true. Otherwise, why would I have gone to kill him? Now that a winged tiger has appeared, there will be more strange things happening in the future, countless strange incidents that will affect society. No one will care about Zhou Yang’s death, and I won’t have any problems.”

Ye Xue seemed to remember something and asked, “So, when you said that Su Mengli would shine brightly, was that also something you dreamed about?”

Ye Xuan nodded affirmatively and said, “Yes.”

Ye Xue curiously asked, “How powerful is she exactly? Can she rival a nation in wealth? Dominate the world?”

Ye Xuan smiled and shook his head, saying, “Wealth and power are like floating duckweed without roots. Only one’s own strength is the most important. Sis, isn’t it impressive that the winged tiger can fly?”

Ye Xue nodded and said, “Of course, it’s impressive. Tigers are already perfect predators, possessing powerful bodies, sharp claws, and terrifying biting force. They can climb trees and swim, with the only drawback being that they can’t fly. But now, it can fly. How can it not be impressive?”

Ye Xuan slowly said, “The future Su Mengli will be thousands of times more powerful than that flying tiger. She can destroy a country by herself, defend a city by herself. Her destructive power surpasses that of a nuclear explosion. What do you think wealth and power are in the face of such strength?”

During Su Mengli’s peak, she developed the SSS-class Flame Red Lotus to its extreme. In the end, she perished together with the astonishing Kunpeng.

When Su Mengli fought against the Kunpeng, the energy of each strike was comparable to a nuclear weapon, except without the nuclear radiation.

And if Su Mengli couldn’t even surpass nuclear weapons, humanity wouldn’t have faced such a great crisis when the powerful exotic beasts appeared and were detected by satellite monitoring.

Twenty years after the revival of spiritual energy, nuclear weapons were no longer a threat to the top combatants among humans and exotic beasts.

Ye Xue looked astonished and said, “Surpassing a nuclear explosion? Is she still human?”

Ye Xuan nodded confidently and said, “She can be human, or she can be a god. It depends on her own thoughts.”

Ye Xue looked at her younger brother and said, “Alright, I understand. I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”

Ye Xuan was taken aback and asked, “Why are you suddenly leaving? What are you going to do?”

Ye Xue said matter-of-factly, “I’m going to meet my future sister-in-law and build a good relationship! No, if Mengli is really that powerful, you won’t be worthy of her. Forget it, in the future, Mengli won’t be my sister-in-law anymore. She’ll be my good sister. That’s how it is!”

Ye Xuan wasn’t surprised by Ye Xue’s reaction at all. He was actually happy to see this scene. A harmonious relationship between sisters-in-law was naturally better.

At this moment, Ye Xuan’s phone rang. It was a call from Su Mengli. “Ye Xuan, have you heard? A flying tiger has appeared in our city!”

Ye Xuan smiled and replied, “I heard. It’s indeed amazing.”

Su Mengli seemed a little excited and said, “Such a cute big cat, just like the cat I used to have when I was a child. I wish I could adopt it!”

Ye Xuan laughed when he heard this. The case was solved. No wonder in the future, the Red Lotus Empress would have a very ordinary flying tiger as her mount. It was all because of this.
