Chapter 165 A Tiger is a Tiger
But to cooperate with Sheng Sheng, Shi Tou still awkwardly tilted his head and started to act cute, his ears drooping and sticking to his head, his tail swaying in the air, quietly letting Sheng Sheng spin around and show off him.
The anxious crowd calmed down, and upon closer inspection, they realized that the child was indeed quite well-behaved.
And it's a white tiger!
This white tiger is extremely precious; in many legends, the white tiger symbolizes many good things.
However, everyone wasn't stupid; no matter how young the cub was, it didn't change the fact that it was a tiger.
What is a tiger? It's the king of beasts.
That's how deadly; one bite could eat a person whole.
Seeing that everyone was still terrified, Sheng Sheng picked up the stone and randomly walked over to someone, handing the stone to them: "It's really not fierce, you can hug it and see if you don't believe me?"
The man hesitated before reaching out, genuinely wanting to try and hug her.
Stone was unhappy; no one but his owner was worthy to hold him!
"Aww—"
Stone bared his teeth and growled at the person who reached out to him, a sound full of warning.
The childish yet fierce voice carried an undeniable intimidation, with a tremor at the end, yet it contained the wild genes of a beast born with the majesty and ferocity of the king of beasts, which did not seem to be hidden because of his young age.
"ah!"
Everyone was startled, and the man was also frightened and quickly ran away.
Sure enough, a tiger is a tiger; you can't underestimate it just because of its appearance!
Stone snorted in dissatisfaction, "Hmph, I don't want anyone to touch me."
Sheng Sheng was both amused and exasperated, and quickly tried to coax him: "Okay, okay, no hugs, no hugs, no one else will hug you, don't be mean."
Stone was finally satisfied. He snuggled back into Sheng Sheng's arms and licked her face with his tongue, acting all clingy like a puppy.
Everyone suddenly realized.
Oh, so you're only obedient to the second princess, right?
Before long, the news that the Second Princess had brought back a white tiger cub spread far and wide. Moreover, the cub was only affectionate towards the Second Princess. Anyone else who tried to touch it would only receive a roar from the cub.
Everyone was amazed that the Second Princess was indeed extraordinary, as she could even subdue a white tiger.
Not only did they tame it, they even gave the little white tiger a name!
The White Tiger is majestic and powerful, a rare and auspicious creature. It deserves a name that is both handsome and powerful.
You asked what name you chose?
Oh, I'm sorry, the little white tiger's name is Stone.
Yes, that's right, it's the same stone you usually see by the roadside.
It's not a green jade stone, nor a colorful gemstone; it's just that kind of stone that will trip you up if you're not looking where you're going.
Everyone: ...
Uh, the second princess's naming skills... are quite superb.
After this ordeal, Eunuch Hou was even more terrified as he walked.
After finally leading the person to Xie Yuxiao, Eunuch Hou's hat was soaked with sweat.
Inside the makeshift tent, Xie Yuxiao was wiping his sword with his back to them. It was Consort Li who first noticed that Eunuch Hou was covered in sweat and couldn't help but ask, "Eunuch Hou, where did you go for a run and come back to find so much sweat?"
Eunuch Hou chuckled awkwardly and silently took a step to the side, revealing the sound that had been hidden behind him.
Consort Li looked over curiously and saw the smiling little dumpling. Wondering what was wrong, she looked down—
"Aaaaaaah!"
Consort Li darted behind Xie Yuxiao, pointing tremblingly, "Your Majesty, tiger, tiger, tiger!"
Xie Yuxiao frowned, looking at her strangely: "You just said that I am the most reliable in my actions, so why are you calling me reckless now?"
Consort Li explained tremblingly, "No, Your Majesty, it's not that you're being silly, it's...it's..."
"It's a stone tiger!"
With a smile, Sheng Sheng walked up to Xie Yuxiao and held up the stone for him to see.
Stone raised a paw and let out a howl as a greeting.
Xie Yuxiao's forehead twitched. Consort Li threw herself into Xie Yuxiao's arms and pulled him away, saying, "Oh, Your Majesty, did you see that? The Second Princess is hugging a tiger! Let's get away from her!"
Sheng Sheng innocently clung to the stone, trying to look cute. Xie Yuxiao, who had personally led troops into battle and seen all sorts of situations, still couldn't help but feel a headache coming on when he saw his adorable little daughter hugging a white tiger.
Xie Yuxiao shielded Consort Li behind him and asked, "Where did you get this tiger cub? You couldn't have rescued it from a pack of wolves, could you?"
Sheng Sheng blinked and exclaimed, "Wow, Father, you're amazing! You guessed it right!"
Stone only encountered Shengsheng by chance because he was escaping from the wolf pack, so how can it not be considered that he came down from the wolf pack?
Xie Yuxiao looked at Xie Yunyang and Xie Yunchuan questioningly, surprised.
Both of them nodded.
Xie Yunchuan said, "Father, it was indeed rescued from a pack of wolves. The wolves suddenly rushed at us because they were fighting with a white tiger. This little white tiger is that white tiger's cub."
Xie Yuxiao felt his temples throb twice. Seeing that Eunuch Hou was covered in sweat in the cold weather, he knew how much attention the little dumpling had attracted by carrying this tiger cub all the way here.
Sheng Sheng thought Xie Yuxiao was also afraid of Shi Tou, so she quickly explained that Shi Tou was just a simple and cute little kid and that he should be treated like Xiao Bai.
Stone asked in confusion, "Who is Xiaobai?"
"Xiao Bai is a very cute little white cat, but he should be sleeping soundly in the palace right now. Oh right, I wonder what Yan Hu is doing at this time. I wanted to take him out to play, but this guy insisted on staying in the palace. It's so strange. Ah, Yan Hu is a golden dog, super smart. I'll introduce you to him later."
Seeing that Sheng Sheng was still explaining to Bai Hu who Xiao Bai was in a serious manner, Consort Li couldn't help but peek out from behind Xie Yuxiao and ask, "Um, Princess, can he understand what you're saying?"
Xie Yun-yang smiled and answered for her: "All things have a spirit. As long as you are attentive, you will naturally understand."
Consort Li gave a rather intriguing "Oh," and said, "Indeed, the white tiger is an auspicious sign. This little white tiger does seem quite well-behaved. Perhaps this means our winter hunt this year will have a good omen."
"Right, Consort Li? Would you like to touch the stone?" The voices rang out enthusiastically as Consort Li, startled, quickly moved to Xie Yuxiao's other side.
"No, no, just take a look, just take a look."
Thank you for the invitation, but I'll have to decline.
Xie Yuxiao smiled helplessly, "Alright, don't frighten Consort Li. Tell me in detail about the wolf pack and the white tiger."
Xie Yunchuan explained the whole story in detail, and Xie Yuxiao nodded with a frown, without asking any further questions.
They suddenly encountered a pack of wolves. Due to the unfavorable terrain, they were unable to fight back. In addition, half of the people they had brought with them for this hunt had already arrived at Shanglin Hunting Ground and were stationed there.
