Ji Youcheng was dragged away by Xiu Zhu before he could even say goodbye.
Zhu Xiuxiu silently withdrew her gaze and, like Old Madam Ji and the others, gave her full attention to Xiaosuisui.
At this time, Xiaosuisui was quite happy. She touched the large head of the white tiger with upward-slanting eyes, giggling, "Big Kitty, is your big head hurt? Shall I give you some medicine?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she took an Elixir out of her purse and gestured to feed it to her Big Kitty. Ji Youran saw this and, greatly alarmed, quickly stopped her, "Stop! It canât eat that Elixir!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaosuisui immediately retracted the Elixir. "Second Uncle, Big Kittyâs head was kicked by Second Aunt! You have to check on Big Kitty. It says it has a headache!"
Huh?
All eyes turned to Xiaosuisui.
What was this about a headache?
Could she possibly understand the tigerâs speech?
Ji Youran started walking towards Xiaosuisui, but he stopped halfway.
"It... it wonât bite me, will it?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaosuisuiâs little face turned stern. With her tiny hands on her hips, she stared at the white tiger with upward-slanting eyes, "Youâre not allowed to bite people, understand?"
She looked adorably fierce!
The white tiger with upward-slanting eyes whimpered softly and rubbed its large head against Xiaosuisuiâs calf, looking quite aggrieved.
Xiaosuisui stroked the âKingâ character on its forehead and, grinning at Ji Youran, said, "Second Uncle, donât be scared! Big Kitty says it doesnât eat people anyway!"
Everyone: ...?
What did the big tiger say?
Youâre certainly good at interpreting for it!
Ji Youran, who felt he was chronically short of lives, was scared to death. Even after hearing his nieceâs words, he remained somewhat apprehensive.
"Sui... Suisui... You... you keep a good watch on it, okay!"
Ji Youranâs voice trembled.
He wasnât a coward...
He swore it was because his accursed luckâthis feeling of being perpetually short of livesâhad led to far too many near-death experiences. It seemed Xiaosuisui had been the reason for his recent successes.
Of course, Xiaosuisui was also involved when disaster struck, like... being struck by lightning!
Xiaosuisui stroked Big Kittyâs large head again. "Donât worry, Second Uncle! Big Kitty really doesnât eat people!"
Ji Youran, reassured by Xiaosuisuiâs repeated guarantees, approached his nieceâs Big Kitty.
Indeed, he didnât sense any dangerous aura, so he tentatively reached out to touch the âKingâ character on Big Kittyâs head.
However, as soon as his hand drew near, Big Kitty opened its mouth wide and bared its teeth at him!
Ji Youran, terrified, quickly withdrew his hand and stumbled back several steps.
Xiaosuisui was more direct. She raised her hand and slapped the âKingâ character on Big Kittyâs head. "Youâre not allowed to scare my Second Uncle!"
And then, before everyoneâs eyes, Big Kittyâs head swayed, and it collapsed to the ground!
The Martial Monksâ eyes widened, and the old Abbot exclaimed, "Amitabha! This little benefactor is truly born with divine strength and extraordinary talent!"
"Ah! Big Kitty, donât die! I still want you to be my mount!"
Xiaosuisui didnât know that as she spoke these words, in Cining Palace within the Imperial Palace, the Great Phoenix suddenly soared into the sky, screeching incessantly. It had become agitated again...
The Empress Dowager, supported by Nanny Xiao, hurriedly came out. She looked up at the extremely agitated phoenix circling frantically in the sky and anxiously asked,
"Great Phoenix!
Whatâs wrong with you?
You were fine just a moment ago. Why have you suddenly become so agitated?"
The Great Phoenix in the sky ignored them, continuing to cry out as its wings beat with a great WHOOSH, looking as if it had fire in its mouth that it wanted to spew out.
