Chu Yihan had already flown up Tiger Mountain. Seeing Su Yingxue standing unharmed, he quickly hugged her. âAre you alright?â
Su Yingxue pointed at Hong Lian. âSheâs the one whoâs hurt.â
A piece of flesh had been torn from Hong Lian by Shan Bao. She struggled desperately to escape from the tigerâs mouth and ran away in a panic.
Mo Qi shouted, âShan Bao, donât bite her!â
But Shan Bao didnât listen to him at all.
Chu Yihan watched as it leaped down from Tiger Mountain, about to pounce on Hong Lian. âCome back!â Chu Yihan shouted coldly.
âRoar!â
Shan Bao was slightly off course. Instead of biting Hong Lian, it raised its claws.
âWhoosh!â
âAhhh!â
Hong Lian rolled on the ground in pain, her body covered in blood.
Mo Qi quickly tore off his clothes and helped her tie up the two large wounds.
But when he saw her condition, Mo Qiâs eyes widened. âYouâ¦â
He picked up Hong Lian and turned to Chu Yihan. âYour Highness, if we donât treat her immediately, she wonât survive!â
âYes,â Chu Yihan nodded, and Mo Qi immediately carried Hong Lian away for treatment.
Shan Bao walked back to Chu Yihan. There was still blood at the corner of its mouth, but its expression was gloomy.
Chu Yihan asked, âWho told you to do this?â
âRoarâ¦â
Shan Bao became very obedient in front of Chu Yihan. It lay down, flipped its belly, and pointed at Chu Yihan with claws.
Then, it kept looking at Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue explained, âI fed it just now and was rubbing its stomach. But for some reason, it suddenly became angry.â
Shan Baoâs claws were placed on its stomach again.
Su Yingxue squatted down and poked its paw. âDo you want me to check it for you?â
Yes!
Shan Bao nuzzled towards her.
Su Yingxue pushed away its claws and touched its stomach. There was a small dent. She pulled away the tiger fur and took a closer look. âHow dare she hurt you!â
âYour Highness, look! Shan Bao is injured!â
Su Yingxue tugged at Chu Yihan.
Chu Yihan squatted down to check. When he touched the dent in Shan Baoâs stomach, the seriousness on his face softened.
He rubbed Shan Baoâs head. âForget it, itâs not your fault.â
âSob, sob, sob!â
Shan Bao rubbed its head against Chu Yihanâs hand, feeling wronged.
Wasnât this its fault?
It hurts!
âShan Bao, let me apply some on you. It wonât hurt anymore.â
Su Yingxue scratched its chin and asked the steward to bring a sheepskin bag. She filled it with some hot water and then used it to rub Shan Baoâs stomach.
âRoar.â
It let out a comfortable sigh.
After Su Yingxue was done massaging it, it got up and rubbed the back of Su Yingxueâs hand.
Su Yingxueâs eyes lit up. âCan I touch you now?â
Shan Bao did not react, but when Su Yingxue touched its head, it was obedient and did not even move.
Su Yingxue was very happy. âItâs all thanks to Pavilion Master Hong Lian. Otherwise, Shan Bao wouldnât have gotten close to me so quickly!â
Chu Yihan lifted a strand of hair from her cheek. âYouâre mine, so it will naturally get close to you.â
However, while Su Yingxue was happy, he also reminded her, âBut you canât get too close to it.â
âWhy?â
âItâs a male.â
Shan Bao was speechless.
Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan came down from Tiger Mountain. Seeing Su Yingxue safe and sound, the old steward let out a long sigh. âFortunately, Miss Su wasnât the one who was injured. It was Miss Hong Lian who was injured.â
âStop the bleeding in time. She wonât die.â
Su Yingxue had witnessed the entire process and could make a certain judgment.
