My Fierce Tigress Wife Chapter 47 – The Second Stage of Being a Simp

Di Baijun secretly rolled her eyes when she noticed that the jerk was walking toward her.

When Wang Hu saw how Silly Girl didn't even bother glancing at him, behaved as if she hadn't realized his presence at all, and concerned herself only with her cultivation; he didn't bother about these either—he was already used to it.

Roar~!

“Baijun, I've already imparted the cultivation method to several hundred tigers. The first stage of the plan is complete.”

There was no change in Di Baijun's expression. She merely made a sound of acknowledgment in response.

At the sight, Wang Hu became rather bummed out. It was all for the sake of the family that he had worked so hard without any complaints for more than two months while braving the cold, and yet she was barely reacting.

His lips turned up into a barely-discernible pout.

After some quick thinking, a plan took shape in his mind.

Several seconds later, when Di Baijun realized that the jerk was still around, her gaze flicked to the side—only to see him standing there and watching her gently.

Her circulation of Blood Qi came to a sudden stop, and her breathing almost became messed up. An intense shudder went through her, and she became extremely discomfited.

Right away, she threw him a furious glare filled with acute disdain.

Roar~!

“What are you looking at?”

Wang Hu immediately laughed inwardly. Now, this was what he wanted to see.

How could he possibly let Silly Girl feel good when she had made him so bummed out?

That didn't make sense at all.

With a neither-panicky-nor-anxious look on his face, he spoke gently.

Roar~!

“Baijun, you've become even prettier than before!”

As he spoke, some embarrassment also came over him inwardly—he had never said such things before.

Compared to suffering some embarrassment though, he still much preferred to see a discomfited Silly Girl instead.

Besides, for some reason, he had suddenly felt exceptionally relaxed after he uttered those words as well. It was as if he had opened the door to a whole new world.

True enough, she didn't let him down.

A blank look formed in her eyes. As though she had never expected to hear such things coming from him, it seemed like Silly Girl had received a huge shock.

The next moment, she actually took a somewhat panicky step backward. Her little actions looked extremely adorable to Wang Hu.

Right away, as if she had regained her senses, a panicked look came over Di Baijun's eyes for a couple of seconds. Then, the fury in her eyes accrued like flooding rivers swelling madly into an ocean, and her eyes widened to their limit.

She took a stubborn step forward, upon which her fury instantly came pouring out.

Roar~!

“Get lost, you jerk!”

Her roar was so fierce that even the fur on Wang Hu shook a little. Nearby, Big Treasure and Little Treasure—who were engrossed in watching Cardcaptor Sakura—also jumped a little. Utterly confused, they turned and looked over.

Why was Mommy mad?

Upon noticing that Silly Girl was about to lose control and start attacking him, Wang Hu, who didn't want to embarrass himself in front of the children, immediately became very well-behaved.

Roar~!

“Don't be mad, Baijun. Perhaps I was wrong to say that, but I really mean it. You really have become prettier.”

Then, he immediately turned and ran off.

Di Baijun was so infuriated that she was shaking lightly all over. Her gaze was flitting about haphazardly, and her limbs were also fidgeting unnaturally.

That jerk!

Dammit! Dammit!

She gnashed her teeth in fury as she watched that jerk flee. How she wished she could charge over and viciously bite off a piece of his flesh!

Her rationality, however, told her that Big Treasure and Little Treasure were still watching them.

Her gaze chaotically flitted about a little longer before she finally tossed them a light glare.

Big Treasure and Little Treasure's round little heads immediately swiveled and turned away. They stared obediently at the cell phone, not daring to take any more peeks.

It was only when that nearly-solidified gaze of hers vanished that two pairs of big innocent eyes finally exchanged a look with each other, their eyes both reflecting the same thought: ‘Mommy is so scary!'

Di Baijun also inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she glanced around unnaturally again. She couldn't help but keep feeling like a pair of eyes was watching her, causing her to not even feel like cultivating anymore.

Hmph!

Jerk! That damn jerk.

Irritated, she couldn't help but feel discomfited no matter what she did. She stomped her foot hard, and then she turned and returned to the cave.

The two little fellows blinked at the sight, somewhat relieved.

Roar~!

“What's the matter with Mommy, Big Brother?” asked Little Treasure.

Roar~!

“I don't know. We were obviously very well-behaved!”

Just as puzzled as Little Treasure, Big Treasure shook his head.

Roar~!

“Is it Daddy?”

Roar~!

“I don't know.”

Roar~!

“Does Daddy also make Mommy angry?”

Roar~!

“I don't know.”

Elsewhere, Wang Hu—who had escaped from Silly Girl's line of sight—felt comfortable all over, just like when he drank a glass of ice-cold water on a hot and sweltering summer day.

Even his gait seemed like there was a spring in his step.

The counterattack this time had been very successful, and it felt awesome.

How dare Silly Girl ignore him. Since he couldn't make her yield with force, then he would try a soft approach. He would simp[1] for her until she eventually surrendered to him.

Hehe!

Wang Hu wanted to laugh whenever he thought of how adorable Silly Girl looked when she was so embarrassed and at a complete loss in the beginning, as well as how she had looked when her embarrassment evolved into fury later on. He felt a huge sense of achievement.

A brief moment later, when he gradually calmed down, he suddenly sensed something amiss.

It seemed like his simping journey had come to somewhat of a standstill!

Their relationship had improved a little ever since Li Tong's appearance. After that, they had also fought a few times because of the comments on the Internet.

However, their relationship hadn't improved much since then. How could that do? This wasn't what he wanted.

These days, being beaten up by Silly Girl had caused him to lose his direction. Bewitched by her, he had become complacent and stopped his simping efforts.

Rather, Silly Girl had already become accustomed to that extent of simping so it didn't have much effect anymore.

Given Silly Girl's nature, if he stopped simping over her and tried to slowly conquer her over time instead, goodness knows until when he would have to wait?

He couldn't wait that long.

He had to confirm his plans now. It wasn't too late yet. He hadn't wasted that much time yet.

I'll change my strategy and increase the intensity.

I must continuously try and break through Silly Girl's defenses.

Wang Hu mused over this very sternly.

This was no trivial matter. Rather, it was a serious matter that couldn't get any more important; it was something serious that concerned the whole family.

He had become too complacent recently. It was time to reflect upon himself.

Fortunately, because Silly Girl had bummed him out today, he had counterattacked a little, resulting in him becoming enlightened.

Silent, he continued to rack his brains over the matter.

How should he change the strategy and increase the intensity?

Should he look it up on the cell phone?

The idea had only just occurred to him when he immediately dismissed it.

How could he believe things that those idiots on the Internet say?

Besides, his current situation was completely different from others'. He didn't have anything to offer at all in terms of material comfort.

Neither was Silly Girl someone whom those so-called ‘goddesses' could compare with.

Suddenly, he thought of what he had done just now. Actually, what he had said when he complimented Silly Girl's looks today was pretty good. He had never said anything like that before in the past, and yet the results were unexpectedly positive.

Could it be that he ought to be even more blatant about it?

Should he constantly compliment Silly Girl every time he spotted an opportunity?

He pondered carefully about it for a while again, eventually reaching the conclusion that it was worth a try.

If his simping in the past had been the first stage, then it would be the second stage now. He should advance gradually and make steady progress according to Silly Girl's personality. He mustn't mess it up.

He would set the second stage as one where he constantly complimented Silly Girl on her beauty. This was a viable plan that made a lot of sense.

He secretly nodded to himself and made up his mind. Yes, that was what he would do.

After determining the goal to work toward and how he should go about it, Wang Hu felt even more relaxed.

He felt rather enlightened. No wonder he felt opening the door to a whole new world after he uttered those words.

He must have instinctively felt it during that time and realized that it was time that he improved his approach.

After sorting out his thoughts, he made his way home with light and relaxed footsteps.

From afar, he could already see that Silly Girl wasn't around. He couldn't help but smile. That Silly Girl had probably returned to the cave because she couldn't bring herself to cultivate anymore after he embarrassed and infuriated her, causing her emotions to become a chaotic mess.

Based on this, his way of thinking was probably correct. His simping journey's second stage was definitely a good one.

After sorting out his emotions, he walked over to the two little fellows as though nothing had happened.

Roar~!

“Where's your mom?”

Big Treasure and Little Treasure's heads swiveled around toward him.

Roar~!

“She's over there.”

Both Big Treasure and Little Treasure raised their little paws and pointed at the cave.

Wang Hu nodded. Just as he was about to say something, he stopped himself.

They were too near to the cave. It would be awful if Silly Girl overheard them.

Roar~!

“Daddy, Mommy's mad again.”

Little Treasure's young voice rang out softly. As she spoke, she even cast a careful glance at the cave.

Amused, Wang Hu raised his paw and rubbed her little head.

Roar~!

“It's fine. Your mom is just joking around with you. She isn't mad.”

The two little fellows cocked their heads to the side as they stared at Wang Hu with looks of puzzlement and doubt.

Wang Hu didn't say much, either. Instead, he patted them one by one.

Roar~!

“Alright, go on and watch Cardcaptor Sakura.”

After that, he walked over to a nearby spot and started to cultivate.

The two little fellows leaned over to each other.

Roar~!

“What does ‘joking around' mean, Big Brother?”

Roar~!

“I don't know.”

Roar~!

“Is Mommy not mad?”

Big Treasure seemingly thought about it for a moment. Then, he shook his head.

Roar~!

“I don't know.”

Wang Hu focused on cultivating after he put away his diverse thoughts.

Conquering Silly Girl wasn't something that he could accomplish overnight. He was in no hurry to get it done right away so he could take it slow.

A short while later, Di Baijun finally calmed down in the cave. After suppressing her embarrassment and anger, she walked out of the cave.

She glared coldly at Wang Hu before walking over to the other side and got ready to cultivate.

As though he hadn't realized anything, Wang Hu continued to cultivate on his own.

At the sight, Di Baijun—who had been watching him closely with her peripheral vision the whole time—breathed a sigh of relief… though she also felt a little bothered for some strange reason.

Didn't that jerk see me coming out of the cave?

She raised her chin and secretly snorted.

Then, she began to cultivate indignantly.

Soon, the sounds of two people breathing and the sounds coming from the cell phone intermingled with each other, forming an unusually comfortable and harmonious atmosphere.

From this day onward, Wang Hu integrated himself into the family once more after a separation of more than two months.

He cultivated, hunted, played with the two little fellows for a while, and shamelessly spoke a few sentences with Silly Girl every day. Wang Hu found his days exceptionally fulfilling.

Two days later…

Roar~!

Wang Hu seized the opportunity while the two kids were asleep and gently said, “Baijun, you're so pretty!”

A quick moment of panic later, Di Baijun lowered her voice and roared furiously.

Roar~!

“Scram!”

Roar~!

“Alright, don't be mad, Baijun.”

Five days later…

Roar~!

“Baijun, you may not be happy to hear this, but I still want to tell you what I really think—you're the prettiest! Prettier than anyone out there.”

Roar~!

“Get lost!”

Ten days later…

Roar~!

“Baijun, I saw a few humans on the Internet say that you're the prettiest tiger in the clan. I think so, too. No, in my heart, you're the absolute prettiest. You mustn't put yourself down and think that you aren't.”

Wang Hu stood dozens of meters away and roared gently.

Di Baijun took a deep breath and shot that jerk an icy glare.

Was she putting herself down and thinking that she wasn't pretty?

What a fool.

She was just… just…

Argh!

She couldn't help but scream in frustration inwardly.

Roar~!

“I'm going to teach you a good lesson!”

Joy came over Wang Hu at once, though he looked rather reluctant on the surface. Then, he followed after her obediently.
