Back when he first subdued the Black-striped Tiger, it was exceptionally afraid of Little Ape. This was, of course, because Little Ape's bloodline had a powerful suppressive effect on it.
Now, the Black-striped Tiger had broken through to Tier Four, and so had Little Ape. However, the auras they exuded were vastly different.
Although both were Tier Four Demon Beasts, Little Ape's aura was clearly a cut above the Black-striped Tiger's. So, the moment it saw Little Ape arrive, a sheepish smile immediately appeared on the Black-striped Tiger's ferocious face.
"Heh heh, Brother Yuan." With a fawning smile, the Black-striped Tiger happily approached Little Ape.
Seeing this, Little Ape also gave a slight smile. "You dumb tiger, can't even kill cleanly. Big Brother is waiting for you. Go explain yourself to him."
