SBCEJM -Chapter 279 Unbelievable! The Imperial Uncle Turns Into a Villager? He Starts By Taming a Siberian Tiger into a ‘Kitty’!

“ROAAAR—!”

A thunderous tiger roar echoed through the forest, shaking pine needles loose from the trees.

Feng Zekai’s expression changed instantly. His body reacted before his mind did—he instinctively pulled Feng Zexuan behind him.

He couldn’t even explain why. His muscles were rigid, his legs tense as stone, yet the only clear thought in his mind was to protect his sister.

But the moment his hand touched her sleeve, he grabbed nothing but air.

He looked up—and saw that his sister hadn’t retreated at all.

Instead, she looked… excited.

Her eyes were shining like she had just spotted a brand-new toy, and she was already sprinting toward the source of the sound.

Feng Zekai’s heart jumped into his throat.

That was a living mountain king!

He tried to chase after her, but his legs felt like they were filled with lead—each step unbearably heavy.

All he could do was watch her white figure flicker through the forest and vanish into the depths of the woods.

—

【System! Quick, scan it!】

【Is this big cat qualified to be my mount?】

Feng Zexuan moved swiftly through the forest while thinking rapidly.

The system immediately blared an alarm:

【Warning, host! This is NOT a pet!】

【It is a top-tier predator—an Amur tiger!】

【Adult male, estimated weight over 450 jin (≈225 kg). Extremely dangerous!】

Before it even finished speaking—

A massive striped tiger with piercing eyes appeared in her field of vision.

Its body was enormous, like a moving hill. Muscles rippled beneath its fur with terrifying power.

A single low growl sent a wave of foul wind rushing toward her.

Its amber eyes were filled with bloodthirsty ferocity.

Yet facing this monstrous predator, Feng Zexuan didn’t retreat—she advanced instead.

【Such a little kitty has quite the temper? Not letting me pet you and you want to claw me?】

【Hmph, I’ll brush your fur properly then!】

She hummed internally, her body moving like a ghost.

Feng Zekai, barely catching up, was completely stunned.

He could only see his sister’s figure dancing around the tiger like a feather clinging to its body—light, but carrying immense force.

Every pounce and swipe from the tiger struck only empty air.

Instead, it was being hammered by seemingly soft palm strikes, making it roar in pain and stumble backward repeatedly.

That roar no longer carried the dignity of the king of beasts.

It sounded more like a giant cat being bullied into whining by a mischievous child.

Finally—

With a seemingly light palm strike landing on its thick neck, the majestic tiger collapsed.

It let out a pitiful whimper and slowly lay down at Feng Zexuan’s feet.

The massive tiger head rubbed against her leg obediently.

Feng Zekai’s worldview shattered and reassembled on the spot.

He froze completely.

One thought echoed in his mind:

Never provoke my sister in the future.

She can even “cry a tiger into submission.”

—

【You are now conquered by me~】

Feng Zexuan even sang “Conquer” in satisfaction, casually purchasing a “Divine Beast Taming Contract” from the system store and slapping it onto the tiger’s forehead.

The contract dissolved into a faint glow and vanished.

The ferocity in the tiger’s eyes completely disappeared, replaced by a dog-like devotion.

It even stuck out its tongue and licked her hand affectionately.

“Good. From now on, your name is Big Orange.”

She patted its huge head in satisfaction.

At that moment, the invisibility talisman wore off.

Both Feng Zexuan and Feng Zekai suddenly appeared in front of villagers who had rushed over after hearing the roar.

The villagers, still terrified from the tiger’s roar, now saw an obedient tiger lying at the feet of a fairy-like girl who had appeared out of nowhere, while a celestial-looking young man stood beside her.

Everyone froze.

The next second—

Someone fell to their knees.

“Mountain God! The Mountain God and Goddess have descended!”

In an instant, everyone knelt.

Feng Zexuan blinked.

Fine. Might as well go along with it.

She cleared her throat and casually fabricated an identity as “the children of the Jade Emperor sent to inspect the mortal world.”

The villagers believed every word without question.

—

Xiao Jueyu (13th Prince) finally found his wife and clung to her leg, crying hysterically:

“My dear! I told you this village is chosen by destiny! Look! Even the immortals have come to visit us!”

After crying, he tried to rush toward Feng Zexuan to hug her leg too—but before he got close, Big Orange roared.

The sound terrified him so badly he scrambled back behind his wife.

To entertain the “immortals,” the entire Royal Village mobilized and prepared the highest level of hospitality.

At the banquet, the once-proud princes—now tanned, dressed in rough linen—eagerly toasted Feng Zexuan and Feng Zekai.

They cautiously probed for secrets of immortality or ways to return to the capital.

Feng Zexuan only smiled and sipped fruit wine.

“Celestial secrets cannot be revealed.”

—

During the feast, the system dropped another piece of gossip:

【Host, look at that 13th prince. To hide his private money, he dug three holes near the pigsty wall. That night, his ‘spirit pig’ dug them all out and pushed the money right in front of his wife.】

Feng Zexuan almost spat out her drink.

The others, hearing the “inner voice of the immortal,” pretended it was divine communication and accepted it calmly—but still struggled to suppress laughter after hearing the prince’s scandal.

—

After the banquet, the siblings refused the arranged guest rooms and lay on the roof of a stilt house, watching the stars.

The night sky was crystal clear, filled with glittering constellations.

Feng Zekai lay with his arm behind his head, looking at his sister playing with the tiger beside him, filled with emotion.

This single day was more surreal than his entire eighteen years combined.

—

The next morning, Feng Zexuan saw that the village children only played rope skipping and hide-and-seek.

Too boring.

So she decided to bring a “small divine shock” to this peaceful paradise.

She instructed villagers to draw lines in the largest open field, and had the skilled wife of the Ninth Prince build two wooden hoops three meters high.

A simple basketball court was completed.

Under confused gazes, she conjured a giant holographic screen and played basketball tutorial videos.

The villagers were stunned beyond belief.

Then she personally demonstrated:

Dribbling, crossover, layups—

Smooth, flawless movements.

Finally, she stood beyond the three-point line, jumped perfectly, and flicked her wrist.

The ball drew a beautiful arc—

Swish.

Clean shot.

Silence.

Then the children erupted into cheers.

—

In just two days, the siblings had fully integrated into the strange village.

While strolling, Feng Zekai accidentally wandered into the village school.

He discovered that the teacher was none other than the Sixth Prince, once known for his vast knowledge and sharp memory.

After listening for a while, Feng Zekai frowned.

The Sixth Prince, clearly rusty from long absence from books, was teaching the “Deer as Horse” story—and he actually confused Zhao Gao with Li Si.

Unable to tolerate it, Feng Zekai corrected him.

Being corrected in front of the entire class by an “immortal,” the Sixth Prince turned red with embarrassment.

He shoved the teaching rod into Feng Zekai’s hands:

“If you’re so knowledgeable, you teach!”

Helpless, Feng Zekai stepped onto the podium.

Meanwhile, Feng Zexuan, never one to miss chaos, conjured beautifully printed phonetic charts and multiplication tables and even taught a lively math lesson herself.

The innovative teaching style left both children and princes mesmerized.

Just as the class atmosphere peaked—

A prince rushed in, out of breath:

“Brothers! The village head… the village head has returned!”

“And… he brought the Empress Mother!”
