Yuan Yao never expected that Tang Yuan would be a kept man!
Whenever she thought of it, she worried that it was hungry or injured, that it would get wet in the rain, and that a hunter would catch it...
Who knew, they were keeping a tiger as a pet!
Moreover, judging from Tangyuan's clean and leisurely appearance, she's been living a particularly comfortable life these days...
Upon hearing Yuan Yao's voice, Tang Yuan froze.
The tigress, however, reacted even more swiftly.
Upon hearing human voices, the tigress immediately turned to look and let out an aggressive roar: "Roar..."
The tiger's roar startled the surrounding birds, causing them to flap their wings and scatter in all directions.
"roar……"
Tangyuan let out a roar even more powerful than that of the tigress.
However, this tiger's roar carried no aggression or danger, but rather joy and excitement.
Tangyuan practically bounced as she turned her head.
It locked onto Yuan Yao's figure, and excitedly wagged its tail wildly, its front paws off the ground, thrashing about, its ears pressed back: "Awooo..."
He wished he could climb the tree and pounce on Yuan Yao.
Beside her, the tigress turned her head, bared her teeth, and growled at Tangyuan, then turned to roar at Yuanyao and Yunchan in the tree.
At this moment, Tangyuan raised its paw and forcefully pressed it down on the tigress's head: "Roar..."
The tiger's roar, carrying both warning and suppression, was extremely penetrating.
Yun Chan wanted to raise her hand to cover Yuan Yao's ears, but found it was too late.
Yuan Yao felt a chill run down her spine and her ears were ringing.
Even the tree they were sheltering from seemed to tremble...
Outside the cave, the tigress tried to resist, but was completely suppressed by Tangyuan.
After Tangyuan bared its teeth at her and gave her a warning, the tigress seemed to back down, drooping her tail and ears, and reluctantly lay down on the ground.
When Yuan Yao came to his senses, he saw the tigress lying there looking aggrieved.
Tangyuan, meanwhile, was looking at her with a triumphant and arrogant expression: "Aww..."
Good heavens!
Yuan Yao found it both funny and infuriating.
She gently tugged at Yun Chan's sleeve: "Look at the glutinous rice balls!"
They eat tigresses, live in tigresses' houses, and yet they still bully them!
Scumbag Tiger!
That's outrageous!
Yun Chan chuckled, then said in a cool voice, "Tangyuan, take your hands off me."
Tangyuan tilted its head, opened its icy blue eyes wide, and cried out to Yunchan, "Aww!"
It's strange, it's strange why they haven't gone over yet.
Yun Chan said helplessly to Tang Yuan, "If you don't let go of it, I'll hit you."
Tangyuan's ears twitched.
It glanced at Yun Chan, then at the tigress pinned under its paws.
After a moment's hesitation, it raised its paw.
As soon as Tangyuan loosened its grip, the tigress immediately leaped up, swung its claw forcefully at Tangyuan's face, and ran away as if its life depended on it...
They ran away...
In the blink of an eye, the nimble tigress disappeared into the vast white forest.
Tangyuan let out a wail and instinctively tried to chase after the female tiger.
Yuan Yao shouted, "Tang Yuan, stop right there!"
"Aww!"
Tangyuan sat there, its big head drooping, and clumsily raised its paw to scratch the spot where the tigress had swung it...
Yun Chan put her arm around Yuan Yao's waist and landed lightly next to Tang Yuan.
Before she even got close, Tangyuan rushed over, rubbing against Yuan Yao and whimpering.
With this smear, several streaks of blood were left on Yuan Yao's pristine white cloak.
Yuan Yao paused for a moment, then reached out and lifted Tangyuan's big head.
Upon closer inspection, four claw marks of varying lengths were visible, stretching from the corner of Tangyuan's eye to her nose.
The scratched areas were raw, bleeding profusely.
Yuan Yao: "..."
She felt both sorry for him and amused: "You little rascal, you actually dared to accuse the tiger first?"
You eat their food, live in their house, and yet you oppress them...
"Now look what happened! You got beaten up, didn't you?"
"Aww..."
Tangyuan lowered her voice, as if she were pinching her throat, and called out to her in a pitiful voice, even trying to scratch her nose with her paw.
"You're hurt, don't scratch, it'll hurt more if you scratch!" Yuan Yao grabbed its paw and said irritably, "Now you know it hurts?"
If you knew it hurt, why didn't you do it sooner?
Do you know how worried your sister is about you?
Your father is waiting for you, but you haven't come home yet. Your father has already left the capital.
You, on the other hand, are just freeloading here...
She muttered a lot in one breath.
Tangyuan tilted her head, blinking her icy blue eyes in confusion.
Yun Chan, standing nearby, said, "I'll put some medicine on Tangyuan."
As he spoke, he took out a small porcelain bottle.
Yuan Yao stroked Tangyuan's head and asked, "Will this medicine hurt when I apply it?"
Tangyuan also twitched its ears.
Yun Chan's lips curved slightly: "It hurts, it hurts a lot."
"Aww!"
Tangyuan shook its fur and barked at him.
Yun Chan smiled and said, "Even if it hurts, you have to bear it."
Tangyuan's ears immediately drooped.
Yun Chan raised her hand, patted Tangyuan's firm back, opened the lid of the small porcelain bottle, poured out a lot of white powder into her palm, and used her fingertips to apply it to Tangyuan.
Before the medicine was evenly applied, Tangyuan impatiently raised its paw.
Yun Chan's face turned cold: "Endure it."
Tangyuan immediately made a gurgling sound from its throat.
After enduring the pain until Yun Chan finished applying the medicine, Tang Yuan sneezed several times in a row, feeling so uncomfortable that she wanted to scratch her nose.
Yuan Yao glared at her: "Stop scratching! If you scratch again and you scratch your face all over, you'll turn into an ugly tiger cub!"
Tangyuan felt extremely wronged.
It placed its chubby paws on Yuan Yao's legs, patted her lightly twice, then pressed its body against hers, its tail resting on her calves.
What a fierce beast! It's acting like a doormat.
After applying the medicine and comforting Tangyuan for a while, Yuanyao stroked its fluffy head and asked, "Tangyuan, can I ask you a question?"
Tangyuan twitched its ears.
Yuan Yao glanced at Yun Chan before looking seriously at Tang Yuan and asking, "Tang Yuan, do you want to stay here?"
Tangyuan didn't seem to understand her words, tilting her head and blinking her icy blue eyes.
Yuan Yao felt a pang of sadness. She pointed to the tiger's den and then to the direction the female tiger had left, asking, "Tangyuan, do you want to stay?"
Here, there are mountains, water, and caves. In the mountains, there are all kinds of small animals, and... there are also your kind.
Stay here, and you'll have freedom and companions...
If you want to stay, I respect your choice and will set you free to return to the mountains...
After my sister returns to the capital, she will ask the Crown Prince... no, she will ask the Emperor to seal off this mountain.
I will use my savings to subsidize the people in this area and ban logging and hunting, so you and your friends... won't have to worry about danger."
The more she talked, the more reluctant she became.
Yun Chan patted her head: "Don't cry."
"I didn't cry," Yuan Yao said stubbornly. "If Tangyuan returns to the mountains, I'll be overjoyed!"
It eats over a hundred taels of silver a day, and its molting is like drifting willow catkins; I find it so disgusting…
Before she could finish speaking, Tangyuan twitched her ears, stood up, sniffed alertly, and twitched her nostrils.
Yuan Yao: "?"
Tangyuan suddenly raised its paw and forcibly pressed her down to sit on the rock.
Yuan Yao: "..."
Just as she was about to pretend to be angry, Tangyuan shook its fur, raised its paw, and ran away.
Yuan Yao: "???"
She exclaimed, "Tangyuan! Where are you going? Stop right there!"
However, Tangyuan did not respond to her.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared in the direction the tigress had vanished.
Yuan Yao: "!!!"
Yuan Yao's eyes turned red with anger on the spot.
Her hand trembled as she pointed in the direction where Tangyuan had disappeared: "Tangyuan... Tangyuan actually abandoned me!"
Scumbag Tiger!
White-eyed tiger!
Not only were her hands shaking, but Yuan Yao's lips were also trembling with anger.
My heart is colder than this winter.
Yun Chan frowned, looked in the direction Tang Yuan had left for a moment, and said to Yuan Yao, "It's telling you to wait for it."
