Upon laying her eyes on the white tiger, Xiaosuisuiâs first reaction was, "What a big kitty!"
No sooner had she spoken than a leg came flying from her side, kicking the white tiger on the head and sending it flying backward!
Xiaosuisui turned her head and was thrilled to see it was her Second Aunt-in-law, Huo XingâEr.
"Second Aunt-in-law! This big kitty looks so beautiful!"
Hearing this, Huo XingâEr couldnât help but press her hand to her forehead. "Do you even know what danger is? What if it had bitten you just now?"
This little girl! If I hadnât watched her for just a moment, she would have almost become food for this white tiger!
"My intuition tells me that this big kitty bears no ill intentions. It wonât hurt me!"
She tilted her head, looking at Huo XingâErâs face, her small lips pouting as she said somewhat aggrievedly, "Second Aunt-in-law, youâve given the big kitty internal injuries with your kick!"
Huo XingâEr was speechless. She opened her mouth, just about to say something to educate this little girl, when she heard Xiaosuisui shout, "Donât you dare hit my big kitty!"
At her shout, the air seemed to freeze instantly. The Martial Monksâ staffs hung in mid-air, their minds blank.
The white tiger had been kicked in the head by Huo XingâEr and was dazed. Seeing the Martial Monksâ staffs coming down, it began to panic, opening its massive jaws to bite the monk closest to it.
Seeing this, Xiaosuisui shouted again, "Youâre not allowed to bite people!"
The white tigerâs jaws remained open, its consciousness blurring, as if it had forgotten to close its mouth.
Xiaosuisui jumped off the courtyard wall, landing right in front of the white tiger. "Big kitty, you know you canât bite people, right?"
The white tiger slowly turned its head, closed its mouth, then gently lay down, nuzzling its head against Xiaosuisuiâs leg!
Everyone watched, dumbstruck!
Standing on the courtyard wall, Huo XingâEr suddenly remembered something, and her expression turned somber.
It was just a casual remark from the little girl, yet it had actually attracted a huge tiger. And look at the large âKingâ character on its forehead â this was a damn Tiger King!
Xie PanâEr and Zhu Xiuxiu both pressed their hands to their foreheads, murmuring in unison, "What did the Princess (Xiaosuisui) say this time?"
Lady Ji glanced at them, then silently turned her head back.
Ji Youzhiâs mouth twitched. He had been so anxious just now that he hadnât even considered this possibility.
Ji Youze lowered his head, his expression impassive. Only Ji Youcheng, who stood in the crowd wearing a black veil, seemed to have a flash of insight, as if he had suddenly thought of something but couldnât quite grasp it. He couldnât help but look up at the sky, muttering to himself.
"
I feel like Iâve forgotten something... But then again, it seems like I havenât forgotten anything. I just canât recall it.
"
He walked out from the crowd, intending to stay close to his mother, when he suddenly heard an anxious voice nearby.
"Young Master! Young Master!" It was Xiu Zhuâs voice.
Ji Youcheng quickly stopped, watching Xiu Zhu approach as she reported in his ear.
"Young Master, please hurry back to Bright Moon Pavilion. Something terrible has happened!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Youcheng couldnât help but glance in Lady Jiâs direction, only to be met by Zhu Xiuxiuâs enigmatic, half-smiling expression.
Ji Youcheng frowned and was about to walk towards Zhu Xiuxiu and the others, but Xiu Zhu urgently grabbed his sleeve.
"Young Master, thereâs no time! You must hurry back and decide what to do!"
