Chapter 316 Elopement on a Tiger

The tiger that Qiuqiu and Queyu brought were so familiar with each other that, let alone taming the animal, they were now starting to suspect that the tiger was raised by Qiuqiu on purpose to cause trouble for Queyu.

Chirp scratches its head, "Chirp wins?"

[If all else fails, let Mimi perform jumping through a ring of fire for everyone! We can always rename her Scarface from now on!]

Emperor Jingming looked at Lady Queyu: "What does the Queen think?"

Even if Que Yu were the most shameless person, he couldn't possibly claim that Yan Jiamu could tame this tiger. The reason Suotu was defeated by Gao Jinbao in one move was because he was severely injured by the tiger during the capture.

Unless the Queyu clan wanted Yan Jiamu to die, they had no choice but to accept it.

However, she was confident that even if she lost, Yan Jiamu would not go with Qiuqiu!

“Yan Jiamu’s skills are inferior, he lost.” Que Yu’s tone changed, “But he won’t go with this little child.”

Emperor Jingming raised an eyebrow: "Queen, a bet is a bet. You're not going to bully our Qiuqiu, are you?"

While shocked by Qiuqiu's actions, this move undoubtedly gave the Great Zhou a great deal of face. If even a child can ride a tiger, the Great Zhou's powerful army is poised to crush the Turks in no time!

The entire nation will be boosted by this!

"Bullying the weak and then trying to deny it?"

“Barbarian lands are not fit for refined tastes.”

"Defeated nations have no capacity for discussion. If you ask me, the answer is—fight! Fight them hard!"

"..."

The whispers below sounded like slaps to Que Yu's face. She clenched her fists and asked Yan Jiamu in front of everyone, "Are you going to go with her?"

Chirp pats meow, oh no, Chirp has decided to call it Scarface from today onwards. She pats Scarface to signal it to teach this bad woman a lesson.

Scarface is a little girl in front of Chiu Chiu, but in the underworld, he's known as Brother Knife.

Its body sank down, its massive form moving without making a sound. A threatening growl emanated from its throat as it approached Que Yu and his companions.

The loyal maidservant shielded Queyu behind her. Qiuqiu pretended not to see her and pointed at her, saying, "Get out of the way!"

The tiger's head drooped, its eyes glaring angrily. Its breath, carrying the scent of flesh and blood, sprayed onto her face. Before she could even draw the dagger she had hidden, the maid's legs buckled and she knelt down.

Chirp raised its head, full of arrogance: "Will you give it to me or not?"

[Don't let her bite you to death!]

Scarface's threat was still quite effective; even Que Yu's imposing manner weakened. However, she hoped that Yan Jiamu would stay on his own, "I'm willing to let Yan Jiamu go with you, but..."

"No buts, I'm going with him."

Yan Jiamu suddenly spoke up, looking at Qiuqiu gratefully, "Let's go, let's go now!"

Chuchu: [Huh? Wasn't he supposed to be a delicate, helpless, and handsome young man? Why has he suddenly become so rugged?]

Was she scammed?

Chuchu rubbed her eyes. The resolute Yan Jiamu from before seemed to be just her imagination, and he was just a boy exuding a faint sense of melancholy.

That's right!

Yan Jiamu solemnly walked up to Scarface and stood beside him. "Thank you."

Chirp giggles: 【I'm so awesome!】

Qiuqiu laughed, and Yan Jiamu laughed along. He was about to leave with Qiuqiu when Queyu suddenly called out to him, "What will happen to her if you leave?"

Chiu Chiu wondered, "Who is 'she'?"

She gestured to Yan Jiamu with her eyes: [Do you have family? Want to fight back together?]

They're so afraid of Scarface, she'll ride him around doing all sorts of evil... no, punishing the wicked and promoting the good!

A flash of pain crossed Yan Jiamu's eyes. He closed his eyes for a long time before calming himself down and opening them to meet Que Yushu's resentful gaze. He said in a heavy voice, "She told me to come to Da Zhou, to move forward and not to look back."

By now, news of her death should have arrived.

He's gone, and now no one there can threaten her.

The world is vast, and from then on he was all alone.

Yan Jiamu followed Qiuqiu without any hesitation. And no one dared to stop Qiuqiu riding on Scarface's back; they escaped smoothly.

The Turkic prince publicly turned against Queen Queyu and eventually ran away to Princess Roujia of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If the two parties involved weren't so young, this would be a hot storytelling topic in teahouses for the next six months!

After a brief commotion, Emperor Jingming's brain, which had been malfunctioning, finally returned to normal, and he was the one who ended the banquet that evening.

They won the contest, gained face, the Holy Son ran away, and they're completely ecstatic!

As for whether the Queyu family has any other tricks up their sleeve, that remains to be seen.

————

Fearing being surrounded by his colleagues, Su Junyao had already fled with his entire family.

General Yun sat in the Marquis's carriage, his face full of worry. "What should we do next?"

"Don't you parents have anything to say?"

Su Junyao and Yun Jinglan exchanged a glance, unsure of what to say.

These things seem bizarre, but they make perfect sense when they happen to Qiuqiu.

Seeing the couple remain silent, General Yun frowned deeply. They had a large family, all raised on their own. He pinched the bridge of his nose. "You recognize that tiger?"

The couple shook their heads vigorously, looking completely innocent: "We really don't know them!"

A child under two years old knows about tigers? That's ridiculous!

"What about Qiuqiu?" General Yun had already begun searching for a suitable weapon at hand; if they dared to shake their heads, he would beat them up one by one.

Fortunately, they knew this. Su Junyao quickly said, "Chiu Chiu has already returned to the manor."

He paused, his expression grave: "And he also brought that tiger and the Turkic holy son."

Yun Jinglan: "She really brought Yan Jiamu back?"

Su Junyao's back teeth were itching. Qiuqiu had really stolen the show this time. "Who dares to stop her riding that broken tiger!"

Before Suotu and his men could even approach, they were terrified by a deafening roar. By the time they tried to capture them, Qiuqiu had already ridden away on a tiger with his men.

She was quite clever; she knew to wander around outside the city a few times, shake off everyone, and go home through the back door, which terrified her fourth brother, who was planning to sneak out to play.

"Such a huge tiger head! It's so big!" Su Xiucheng roared, slamming his fist on the table and kicking up a cloud of dust. "It just lunged at my face! Su Qiuqiu! You've gone too far! You've gone too far! I'm your brother, how could you treat me like this!"

"Mom! Dad! Chiu Chiu is riding a tiger and scaring me!"

She slid down and pounced on General Yun's lap, crying out, "Wow, Grandfather, aren't you going to do anything about Qiuqiu?!"

Little Chiu stood there, helplessly following Yan Jiamu beside her, with a tiger behind her, its mouth wide open, silently threatening her.

Who dares to control her!

Finally, the old Marquis coughed lightly and stepped forward to resolve his in-laws' predicament, "Chirp chirp, what exactly happened?"

Chuchu excitedly introduced her best friend, "This is... Scar!"

Yun Jinglan asked in confusion, "Scar? Isn't that Mimi?"

Scarface: "Huh? Who are you calling Mimi?! Who do you think you are?!"

Chuchu slapped him back, her little face dark as she glared at Scarface, "Who told you to yell at my mother!"

She stomped her feet twice, put her hands behind her back, and casually told her mother, "Just changed it."

"Just...just changed it?"

Scarface said it helped Chuchu escape with the handsome older brother, but Chuchu will have to call it Brother Scarface from now on.

Waaaaah, I'm not the boss anymore!

Overwhelmed with grief, Chiu Chiu burst into tears, sobbing, "I want to be... to be the boss! Waaaaah!"

"Boss, don't cry."

With her fair hands wiping away Qiuqiu's tears, Yan Jiamu called a child so much younger than herself "boss" without any hesitation.

Chuchu blinked, her little fangirl mode activated: 【Wow, he's so handsome!】
