Chapter 355 He actually managed to ride on a tiger's head!

The most perplexing thing was that when the villagers of Shuimiao Village went to the government office to report the matter in the afternoon, Magistrate Lin turned a blind eye to it.

Even if this doesn't prove that he has a special relationship with Black Wind Village, it's enough to prove that Lin Tongzhi's intentions are impure.

After some speculation, although we don't know why Magistrate Lin would do this, it's true that Magistrate Lin has problems.

"Oh no! If that's the case, now that Prefect Tang is suppressing bandits, wouldn't Assistant Prefect Lin be in great danger by his side!"

Before Sheng Sheng could think it through, she looked at the wide-open city gate and wondered what the chances were of not being caught if she rode the Corpse Stone straight out.

Sheng Sheng wasn't too worried about being captured by these soldiers, whose minds were clearly focused on suppressing bandits.

Moreover, it is now late at night, and the city gates should be closed. Under normal circumstances, no people would be entering or leaving the city at this time of day.

If she rode the rock and rushed out when they weren't looking, she probably wouldn't be caught in their first reaction.

Sheng Sheng is mainly a little worried... um...

Her brother, the Crown Prince, found out that she had run away tonight.

Stone and Flame Amber sat on either side of her, quietly awaiting her command.

"Master, shall we go for it?"

Stone eagerly sharpened its claws on the ground.

Before, because he was in the palace, Shi Tou was always well-behaved, like a little kitten.

Ever since today, when I first displayed the power belonging to the Tiger Clan, something within my bloodline has awakened, and I've become addicted to this power.

It's both imposing and protective of its owner!

"The stone has grown up. Master, don't be afraid. The stone will protect you!"

Sheng Sheng was immediately fired up by what Shi Tou said.

"Oh well, never mind. At worst, I'll just get a few spanks. It's better than watching Prefect Tang and the others get into danger!"

Sheng Sheng climbed onto the stone's back in one go, saying, "Whether this Magistrate Lin is a heartless man or we've misunderstood him, we'll find out by going to investigate!"

Sheng Sheng adjusted her posture and grabbed the fur on Shi Tou's neck. "Shi Tou, does it hurt when I grab you like this?"

"I don't love my master!"

"Good baby." Sheng Sheng patted Shi Tou's ear, gave him a compliment, and then clenched her fist. "Yan Hu, you lead the way, and Shi Tou and I will follow you. Remember, you must run as fast as you can! Shi Tou, keep going, and we can stop and rest once we get outside the city and leave them behind."

Stone growled to indicate that he understood. Yan Hu shook his fur, stood up, and assumed a starting stance, staring intently at the city gate. He shouted, "Three, two, one—go!"

The night had turned the city gates pitch black, with only a few spots illuminated by torches.

At this moment, no one was entering or leaving the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city gate were chatting idly against the mottled wall, and they were all talking about the suppression of bandits.

Suddenly, a brown shadow swept across the bluestone road like a shooting star—it was a large, glossy yellow dog with its ears pressed against its back. Its four paws flew so fast that they almost grazed the soldiers' boots, leaving only a light dust and short panting sounds before it nimbly passed straight through the city gate and ran out of the city.

The officers and soldiers were startled and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What is that?"

"It looks like a dog ran out."

"Never mind, it's just a dog."

It was just a dog, nothing to worry about for these officers and soldiers, but before they could react, a series of heavier footsteps rang out again.

The first thing you see is a simply dressed little girl, her skirt billowing in the wind, rushing towards you at an incredible speed.

The officers and soldiers were all stunned. Their first reaction was, "How could a little girl run so fast?"

She came out in a hurry, dressed very simply, without any jewelry, and her hair was just casually tied up. A few strands had fallen loose due to her movement, making her look a little disheveled, but it did not diminish her elegant and graceful aura.

Sheng Sheng winked at the soldiers, flashed a bright smile, and greeted them, "Hello!"

Perhaps because they rarely saw such a beautiful child, the soldiers were momentarily taken aback by her greeting and replied, "Hello..."

As the cheerful voices passed by, the leader, who was pacing outside, shouted, "What are you doing? Stop them!"

The officers and soldiers then realized they needed to stop the man, but what they saw next was even more shocking—

The child was riding steadily on the back of a pure white tiger.

The white tiger's fur was as white as freshly snowed leaves, and it glanced at the soldiers as it passed by.

His dark, jade-like eyes reflected the glow of the sunset, his indifference and warning almost overflowing. He followed closely behind the stray dog, the delicate fluffy flowers fluttering from the girl's skirt, and ran out of the city gate with lightning speed, leaving only a graceful and ethereal silhouette in the night.

"Holy crap, what is that thing again?"

"Am I seeing things? That looks like a tiger!"

"You're not mistaken, I saw it too, it's a tiger!"

"My God, they must have come from the city! How could there be tigers in the city? And who is that child? How could he ride on a tiger's head like that!"

The only officer in charge who was sober enough to stop the people was stunned when he saw the tiger, which could terrify him with just a glance. He stood there dumbfounded until the little guys disappeared from sight, and only then did he realize that he had made a mistake by letting the people out of the city.

The officer in charge slapped the stunned soldiers on the head and roared, "Look, look! Stop looking! Hurry up and chase after them! The prefect is suppressing bandits tonight. It's not safe outside the city. If we let the children out and they get into danger, we'll all lose our heads!"

"Yes, yes!"

...

Overjoyed at successfully breaking through, the little ones, led by Yan Hu, first found a secluded corner to stop and prepare to rest.

As soon as Stone stopped, Sheng Sheng quickly rolled over and asked Stone, "How are you, Stone? Is anything bothering you?"

Stone was still just a little tiger, and Sheng Sheng was very worried about him, fearing that carrying him and running so fast would put some kind of pressure on him.

Fortunately, Stone seemed perfectly fine except for being a little excited, jumping around energetically: "Stone is alright, Master! Master, you underestimated Stone!"

Yan Hu also reassured Sheng Sheng: "Sheng Sheng, don't worry too much. Although Shi Tou is still small, he is still a tiger. He's not that fragile."

Sheng Sheng was still worried and stroked the tiger's head for a while: "But Shi Tou is only five months old. Isn't Sheng Sheng too heavy for him? Is it putting pressure on him? Let's run slowly later. If we run too fast, Shi Tou will feel uncomfortable."
