"This servant...this servant is..."
"Little princess, this is Granny Lu. She's here to teach the palace servants how to cultivate the Wei Zi peony."
Granny Lu was so frightened by Sha Ting that she could barely speak, so Chunhe spoke for her.
"Yes...yes..."
When Granny Lu heard Chunhe say it, she simply echoed her.
“Little princess, this…this tiger…um…the people in the palace are all quite afraid of it…”
"Huh? Is that so?"
Little Xi tilted her head, blinked, and looked at Chunhe, then at Xiaju.
"Yes, Princess, could you... please don't let us see it? We... we're afraid."
"Alright then."
Xiao Xi lowered her head and thought for a moment, then slapped Sha Ting on the head.
"It must be a big cat, you're too fierce!"
You scared Sister Chunhe and the others.
"Smile quickly for Sister Chunhe!"
Upon hearing Xiao Xi'er's words, Sha Ting noticed that Xiao Xi'er's eyes, as big as fists, rolled wide open.
When Chunhe and the others saw Sha Ting's fierce expression, they quickly spoke up.
"Little princess, this isn't necessary..."
"It's alright, Sister Chunhe~, the kitten is very well-behaved, just wait a moment."
Sha Ke Guai Ting rolled his eyes again. "Me, the King of the Forest, obey me? You little devil, are you kidding me?"
Sha Ting, who wasn't smiling, got hit with a big shovel again.
"Kitty~, you have to smile, so people won't say you're fierce."
Sha Ting still didn't laugh. Less than three seconds later, not only was Xiao Xi'er pulling on the hair on Sha Ting's head, but she also slapped him on the head.
"Kitty~, you have to be good, or else... or else..."
Xiao Xi'er thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with an answer, so what else could she do?
"Otherwise...otherwise I'll cry..."
Little Xi'er started crying without warning.
"Waaaaah"
When Chunhe, Xiaju, and the others saw Xiaoxi crying, they suppressed their fear of Shating and went to Shating's side to comfort Xiaoxi.
"Princess, don't cry, don't cry."
Sha Ting, exasperated by Xiao Xi'er's constant nagging, finally laughed, but it was somehow rather creepy.
"roar--"
The sudden sound startled Chunhe, Xiaju, and Granny Lu, among others.
Don't cry, look, I'm smiling.
"Mmm, I won't cry anymore, hehe."
"The kitty is so well-behaved~"
"The cat is smiling."
Shatin smiled resignedly one last time.
Although Shatin's mouth appeared to be smiling, there was no smile in his tiger eyes; instead, his eyes held...disdain.
"Sister Chunhe~, look, the kitten is very well-behaved, not fierce at all."
"Sister Chunhe, let me tell you, Kitty is so amazing!"
Little Xi'er, overjoyed, tilted her head back and praised Sha Ting.
Sha Ting gave a haughty snort, completely forgetting that he had been disobedient and made Xiao Xi'er cry.
Hehehe
Chunhe and the others smiled but dared not speak. This tiger only listens to His Majesty and Princess; it doesn't listen to anyone else.
Fearing that Xiao Xi'er would continue to make it laugh, Sha Ting quickly carried Xiao Xi'er out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The palace maids and eunuchs passing by the Hall of Mental Cultivation screamed in terror when they saw a large white tiger run out of the hall.
"Ah!!! A tiger! There's a tiger!!!"
"Where is Commander Zou? Tell Commander Zou at once that there's a tiger!!!"
"Aaaaaah, a tiger is running towards me! Help!!!"
"Don't eat me...don't eat me...I don't taste good...waaaaah!"
"Help... Waaaaah... I... I don't want to become a tiger's meal..."
One by one, people breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the tiger run away, though their hearts were still pounding.
The palace women who "survived the ordeal" all exclaimed that they were still alive.
The eunuch who had just said the tiger was running towards her, seeing the tiger leave, touched his head, his legs, and his body.
Finding everyone still there, I exclaimed with relief, "Thank goodness the tiger didn't eat me! I was terrified!"
At this moment, someone spoke up.
"I...I...I think I saw that tiger take the princess away."
"oh oh"
Before anyone could react, less than two seconds later, "What?"
"What did you say?"
"The princess was carried off by a tiger???"
"Go find His Majesty immediately!"
Everyone was rushing to find Qin Jue, and in their haste, the two bumped into each other and fell down with a 'bang'.
At this point, someone else spoke up, "That's not right."
"What's wrong?"
"The old... tiger escaped from the Hall of Mental Cultivation..."
"Oh no, no way? The tiger won't eat His Majesty, will it???"
"Quick, quick, go find Commander Zou..."
Everyone rushed off to find Zou Heng.
As soon as everyone left, Chunhe and Xiaju ran out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
But after they came out, where could they still see Xiaoxi'er and Shating?
"Chunhe, I think I just heard someone scream, but where is everyone now?"
"I heard that too. Never mind that for now, let's go find the princess."
"OK"
The two then split up and began searching for Xiao Xi'er.
Zou Heng's patrol area
Zou Heng was on patrol when a palace maid and a eunuch kept running over looking for him.
They say a tiger escaped from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, ate His Majesty, and carried off the princess.
Zou Heng was initially confused, but after a moment he realized that the palace maids and eunuchs were referring to Sha Ting.
Zou Heng explained to each of the visitors that the tiger belonged to His Majesty, and that His Majesty and the princess were doing well.
