The deputy commander waited anxiously, his whole body tense. But after a long while, seeing that nothing had happened, he coldly said, "Xuan Di! Do you know who you're toying with?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the little boy's eyes lit up, and he suddenly pounced on Huo Chengche's lap, shouting in his childish voice, "Fat Tuan Tuan!"
The next moment—
"Awooo—!"
"ah!"
"ah!!"
...
Suddenly, chaos erupted outside the hall, with all sorts of piercing screams filling the air.
With a deafening roar of a ferocious beast, it seemed as if the entire Xihe Palace trembled three times.
Huo Chengche was caught off guard by the little boy's sudden unruly behavior.
The moment the little boy stood up, the terrified Consort Shu fell over, leaving Huo Chengche no time to grab him. He could only watch helplessly as the little boy fell off his lap.
"Niannian!" The usually aloof and indifferent boy was unusually flustered.
At that moment, Huo Chengche felt his heart stop. He had lived two lives and had never been so panicked as he was today.
"Awooo—!"
Just as Huo Chengche's hand brushed past the little boy, a huge creature suddenly darted out and vanished without a trace, taking the little boy with it.
"Hahaha, Fatty, don't you dare lick your big sister! Otherwise, I won't secretly bring you meat buns anymore!"
The little baby nestled in the soft, white fur, giggling as it pushed away the excited, fluffy head.
"Pang Tuan Tuan must be good!"
"Ah—ah ah..." Xiao Cui screamed incoherently, and when she saw the huge tiger so close to her, she simply rolled her eyes and fainted.
Huo Chengche stood up with a stern expression. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the little boy had been caught by the big tiger and was safe and sound and even smiling happily. Then, his murderous gaze turned sharply towards Xuan Di.
Of course, Huo Chengche wasn't the only one glaring at Xuandi; Emperor Chongjin, who was trying to appease the Empress Dowager, was also there.
At this moment, Xuan Di's expression was also... extremely shocked. He watched his fat tiger roll around on its round belly, letting the little baby roll back and forth, and a bad premonition suddenly rose from the soles of his feet.
Sure enough, the little girl looked up happily and saw Xuan Di looking at her. She immediately pounced on his lap, sniffed him carefully, and then looked up at Xuan Di even more happily, calling out in her childish voice, "Fifth Brother!"
Fifth Brother?!
The crowd went from furious to shocked, except for Huo Chengche, who was filled with murderous intent and stared coldly at Xuan Di.
Xuan Di felt the gazes from all sides that seemed to want to beat him to death. He gave an awkward smile, his heart trembling violently. He stiffly picked up the cheerful little baby, forcing a forced smile while gritting his teeth and asking the baby, "When have you ever seen Zhan Yu?"
"Battlefield? Fifth Brother, are you talking about Fatty Tuantuan? We met when we were sneaking food in the kitchen. Fatty Tuantuan, Fatty Rabbit, and Fatty Ball, plus Niannian, we're the 'Delicious Food Adventure Team'!"
The little dumpling proudly announced in his sweet, childlike voice.
The "Zhenxiufang" she mentioned was the kitchen in the Prince Hengchang's mansion. Fat Rabbit was a fat rat, and Fat Ball was a little rabbit, which was named after its ball-like shape.
Xuandi suddenly felt his head was about to explode. He wondered how Nian Nian could recognize his Zhan Hu. It turned out that it was this gluttonous brat who caused this mess!
But would he dare to bully his sister?
He dared not, and then Fatty Tuantuan heard his master's sinister voice, each word distinct and deliberate, coming from above his head.
"The Delicacies Pavilion Exploration Team? Hmm? Battlefield?"
