Chapter 53 The Little Princess Actually Made the Divine Tiger Dig Up the Imperial Palace (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Big Cat, once a one-eyed tiger king who reigned supreme in the royal hunting grounds, lived a proud and ferocious life in its early years.

Until it met Mu Yu.

Now, its tiger life motto has changed from "tear apart all living things" to "the little master's orders are everything".

Upon hearing Mu Yu's command to "dig," it did not hesitate at all.

Its massive body suddenly crouched down, and its thick, powerful front paws dug into the ground that Mu Yu had indicated!

"Aww!"

The tiger king scratched and growled excitedly.

Soil, stones, and rotting grass roots were scattered everywhere by its immense force.

Everyone present was stunned.

Let...let a tiger...dig up the palace grounds?

What kind of lunatics are the people in Princess Anguo's mansion?!

The palace guards and craftsmen stood by helplessly, unsure whether to step forward to help or to report to the emperor.

Yan Ziche, however, appeared unusually calm.

He squinted, staring intently at the large pit that the Tiger King had dug.

"Deeper!"

"Big cat, push harder!" Mu Yu cheered for her pet from the side.

The tiger king dug even harder.

In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a large pit, more than half a person deep, appeared on the ground.

However, the pit was filled with nothing but mud.

There was nothing there.

Seeing this, the eunuch who had been restrained regained some of his confidence and began to sneer.

"Ha...I knew it...it was nonsense..."

"Dig, dig, dig all the way through, and disturb the earth dragon. Then let's see how you clean up the mess..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

"Clang—!"

A piercing metallic scraping sound came from the bottom of the pit.

The tiger king's paw seemed to have struck something extremely hard.

It stopped what it was doing, sniffed around in the pit with its nose in confusion, and then looked up and called out to Mu Yu.

"Awoo?"

"There's something here!" Xiao Beichen's eyes lit up.

He threw the eunuch aside and jumped into the pit himself.

He brushed away the loose soil with his hands.

Soon, a corner of a huge, bluish-black stone sculpture was revealed.

It was covered with intricate and ancient patterns, exuding a desolate aura.

"Quick! Everyone come and help!" Yan Ziche immediately directed the surrounding craftsmen.

Everyone pitched in and got to work together.

Soon, a colossal object was completely cleared out from underground.

It was a huge stone beast.

It has the head of a dragon, the body of a qilin, the claws of a lion, and its back is covered with layers of fine scales.

Its eyes are wide open in anger, its mouth is agape, and it is roaring, its appearance is extremely fierce and lifelike.

Although it had been buried underground for countless years, its majestic aura remained undiminished.

Yan Ziche looked at the scene before him and suddenly realized what was going on.

"I see!"

He pointed to the stone beast.

"This is no ordinary stone carving! This is a water-suppressing stone beast—Bixi—used by the previous dynasty to suppress water veins!"

According to legend, Bixi is one of the nine sons of the dragon. He is incredibly strong, loves to carry heavy loads, and is often used to carry stone tablets.

In even older legends, it is said to have the divine power to suppress floods and regulate the earth's energy.

"The earthquake fifty years ago didn't damage the water veins, but it tilted this Bixi statue!"

"It got stuck, causing this section of the waterway to become stagnant. Over time, the stagnant water formed 'dead energy'."

"And that eunuch was acting on Xuanjizi's orders to regularly 'feed' this death energy with evil substances, hoping it would grow stronger and eventually corrupt the dragon vein of the entire palace!"

If Mu Yu hadn't accurately identified this "root cause," the fate of the Great Chu state would likely have been severely damaged soon.

Everyone present looked at the majestic stone beast, then at the petite Mu Yu in her pink armor, and their expressions changed.

This four-and-a-half-year-old princess is not fooling around.

She truly possesses abilities beyond the comprehension of gods and ghosts!

"Righten the stone beast! Quickly!"

The craftsmen dared not slack off any longer and immediately found their tools and got to work.

When, with the combined efforts of dozens of people, the heavy tortoise was put back in its rightful place.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

A muffled gurgling sound came from deep underground.

It was as if something that had been blocked for a long time had finally been cleared.

A fresh, cool breeze, carrying moisture, rose from the bottom of the pit.

Mu Yu's brows relaxed.

In her perception, the "crying" black hemp rope had disappeared.

In its place, an underground river, now flowing merrily again and radiating a pale blue glow, has appeared.

It flows more smoothly and with more vitality than before.

The sobbing turned into laughter.

Mu Yu felt that the water level in the "pond of good fortune" in her sea of ​​consciousness had risen significantly.

A warm and pure golden energy surged in from all directions and flowed into her body.

She felt as if she were soaking in warm water, so comfortable that she wanted to roll around in it.

This is... a "blessing" reward she received for solving a major problem and helping the Great Chu Kingdom stabilize its dragon energy!

She did a great job!

This matter quickly reached the ears of Emperor Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan was overjoyed!

He immediately issued an imperial decree to imprison the eunuch in charge and all those implicated behind him in the imperial prison for severe interrogation.

At the same time, the Princess of Anguo's mansion will be richly rewarded!

The greatest contributor, Tiger King Big Cat, was bestowed with a gold medal as the "Guardian Tiger of the Nation," and his daily food standard was directly upgraded to the level of a prince—meat at every meal!

The entire Princess's residence was immersed in a joyous atmosphere.

That evening, Mu Fang held his precious daughter in his arms, loving her more and more than anything.

"My little Yu'er, you are truly your father's lucky star!"

He affectionately rubbed his stubble-covered chin against Mu Yu's face.

Mu Yu giggled as he rubbed against her.

She felt she had done something amazing today and was very pleased with herself.

Everyone is praising her, praising the big cat.

Brother Xiao Beichen said he's going to take Big Cat to the military camp tomorrow to show off.

Yan Ziche's brother said that when he becomes prime minister in the future, he will definitely write a great chapter in the history books about Mu Yu and the Tiger King.

Even the usually composed Chu Chongjin, upon hearing the news, sent someone to deliver a box of his privately treasured, sparkling East China Sea pearls.

Mu Yu hugged a luminous pearl, feeling its cool touch, and was overjoyed.

She felt that although she could no longer see, everyone around her was treating her even better.

Their voices, their presence, the "light" emanating from them—all were so warm and so bright.

She was enveloped in these warm lights and didn't feel lonely at all.

Mu Yu suddenly had an idea.

She tilted her little face up to Mu Fang, and to everyone in the room, and said in a soft, expectant tone:

"Father, Brother Beichen, Brother Ziche, Ninth Brother..."

"I can no longer see your faces."

"Can I...can I touch your faces?"

"I want to know what you all look like now."
