TIGER WU'S

TREATY-BOUND

Tired of rolling Rubby lay on his back while inhaling the fragrance of flowers all around him. Rubby's breath was still panting from his own actions. Wu Jin Ming sat next to him. Wu Jin Ming's hand was about to pluck a bright red beautiful flower. Not to mention Rubby's screaming.

"Eh, don't. don't!" Rubby stopped Wu Jin Ming from picking the flower.

"Why? She's very pretty. I like it." he asked in wonder.

"Sister Wu don't be reckless. What if he's another stealth pet? Can mosquito him if you know the flowers in the pick," explained Rubby.

"Well, apparently you're smart, too." Wu Jin Ming praised Rubby for the first time.

"Hm. Not particularly. I'm just being careful Brother Tiger Wu."

"You are also very good at changing my name." Wu Jin Ming's face looked annoyed.

"Tiger means tiger. That's great, that sounds really cool." Rubby gave his thumb.

"As far as you go, Rubby. It seems you are full to see the flowers. Maybe you don't want to go home either." Wu Jin Ming put his two hands behind him to support his body that looked up to the sky.

"Who said? Hiks. hiks. I'm hungry. Mommy, I miss my mom." Rubby's tears are back flowing, she's sitting up straight now.

"Rubby, I have a secret I only want to tell you once." Wu Jin Ming approached Rubby.

Rubby wiped his tears.

"If your secret makes me feel bad, I don't want to hear it" Rubby said.

"Hm. It's just a little bit to do with you. Not much."

"meaning?" Rubby's still sobbing.

"I could have just taken you home. But I can't stay in the human world for too long." Wu Jin Ming sighed. He tried to weigh the path he was going to take.

"Why could that be? Would you burn if you were in the world?" ask Rubby curiously.

"No Rubby. I will not be affected by the nature of the world. But I will gradually transform into a human and lose my power if I stay in the human realm."

"Aren't you going to like being human? Come onl... I'll be your friend in the human world." Rubby wishes Tiger Wu would take him home.

"I'm used to this, Rubby. Human life is so strange. They keep thinking about treasure and pleasure every day. Even they would fight with each other to fight for power."

"Hm. So I'm never going home. Huaaaa.. huaa.." Rubby's cries grew.

"Calm down, Rubby. I'm not done talking." Wu Jin Ming tried to explain.

"I don't want to hear. Just tell me you won't take me home." Rubby looked the other way.

"Hm. I can go to the human world and not be human if I bring nature and my dimension" Wu Jin Ming explained.

Rubby looked at him for a moment. His hand quickly wiped his tears.

"Sister Tiger, are you really?" Rubby looks excited again.

Wu Jin Ming took out a necklace that had a green-colored jade pendant from his storage pouch. The jade pendant was shaped like a long clove. He explains to Rubby that he and whoever owns the necklace, can fit into a different dimension to the necklace.

Rubby listened carefully. Trying to digest the meaning of Tiger Wu's words. He was thinking whether this meant Tiger Wu gave him an offer.

"Sister Tiger. Can I go home if I bring your necklace? And does that also mean you'll come with me and live in that necklace?" rubby's clever question arrived - it just popped up.

"A pact?" Rubby frowned in wonder.

"Hmm," Wu Jin Ming replied briefly.

"How?"

'I hope the deal doesn't burden me. I have to come back soon anyway.' Rubby said in his heart.

"You must enter into the dimensional necklace at a certain time to practice cultivation. If not..." Wu Jin Ming hung up his sentence, he looked very sad.

"If not why Tiger?"

"Otherwise this necklace will be destroyed and I won't be able to go back to my dimension again." Wu Jin Ming glared far away. I don't know what he's seeing right now. He remembered an event in his past.

"What would happen if your dimensions were destroyed?" ask Rubby.

"I have to go back to my asceticism for a long time or live as a human being."

"The hard choice. If for my sake you're willing to risk your life ahead, what can I do for you to avenge all this?" Rubby.

"Cultivate well until we are equal." Wu Jin Ming deliberately kept the next sentence secret, where would Rubby he make his empress in the sky palace if his cultivation was perfect. After thousands of years, Wu Jin Ming again experienced the same fate of falling in love with humans. But this time Wu Jin Ming hoped to have a different ending than before.

A long time ago, Wu Jin Ming had a human lover. They love each other even from different worlds. Until one day, the girl was no longer strong in cultivation and Wu Jin Ming's dimensional necklace was shattered into pieces. This was the beginning of her coming here. A place far away from the girl country was living with Wu Jin Ming.

Wu Jin Ming's abilities had improved a lot from before. He hopes his choice this time isn't wrong on Rubby. Maybe he is his destiny. Wu Jin Ming will help him to cultivate after this. He did not want the events that befell his lover in the past to happen again.

"Sister Tiger! Why are you daydreaming? Is cultivating that difficult? I seem to have heard of this in the action fantasy movies I watch." Rubby's starting to die down. She's not crying anymore.

"I'll teach you later if you agree to the covenant."

"I agree" replied Rubby steadily. Whatever happens, he is willing to live. Than to be stranded here forever.

Wu Jin Ming smiled. There was something that started to bloom inside there when he saw the girl in front of him was so excited and convinced. The circumstances of the times seem to have changed. Girls in this age seem more intelligent and confident. Wu Jin Ming believed that Rubby could change his life.

From a location not far from them was a loud noise. It seemed like there was a pair of demons fighting. Rubby shuddered in horror at their sinister screams and laughs. The noise of clashing power rang out. Rubby brought his body closer towards Wu Jin Ming in fear.

"You scared?" asked Wu Jin Ming.

Rubby nodded.

"All right, let's go back to your world now. I'll write the spell." Wu Jin Ming stood up. His hands were moving like he was writing in the air. There was a circular symbol with a golden light in the air. Then Wu Jin Ming again wrote something down where his feet rested. Another symbol that looks a little different.

"Come here!" call Wu Jin Ming to Rubby.

Rubby walked over. He then stood on the symbol that Wu Jin Ming had created. I don't know what symbol. Rubby's only one thought at the moment, get out of this creepy place as soon as possible.

Wu Jin Ming put a dimensional necklace to Rubby's neck. His mouth is kamit reading incantations. The symbol stamped in the air shone a bright white that was extremely dazzling. It seemed like the symbol had now turned into a magical gate for them to come out. Sure enough, when Wu Jin Ming held Rubby's hand past him, they arrived - they were already in a different place. In the middle of the silent forest of the human world. Rubby smiled when he found his dipper and toiletries splattered in front of him.
