Chapter 652: Chapter 652: The Colorful Big Tiger Chapter 652: Chapter 652: The Colorful Big Tiger “Chuner and I picked it up on the mountain, and we’ve been caring for it for a while now. It’s very spiritual and can understand what we say.”
“Really?” Xiao Taohong just didn’t like Little Tiger. Ever since she appeared, the little guy kept barking at her. Honestly, even though she was a ghost, she was still as beautiful as a flower, loved by all the living and envied by the ghosts, right?
Xiao Taohong glanced at Little Tiger with a look full of disdain.
Xuexue waved at Little Tiger under the rock, “Little Tiger, don’t be naughty. Come here quickly, I want to introduce you to a new friend.”
Little Tiger reluctantly jumped onto the rock, his eyes still fixed on Xiao Taohong.
Xuexue bent down, held Little Tiger in her arms, and said to him, “This is Sister Hong. From now on, when you see her, don’t bark at her, got it?”
“Meow meow!” Little Tiger nodded.
Only then did Xiao Taohong’s face look a bit better, “Obviously it’s a tiger, but it meows like a cat. How absurd, it’s really a disgrace to tigers.”
Xuexue also felt quite sorry for Little Tiger about this.
“It’s all because of Chuner, that girl always teaching it, making it turn out this way.” Xuexue stroked the fur of Little Tiger in her arms.
Hearing this, Xiao Taohong finally looked at Little Tiger properly.
Under the moonlight, Little Tiger’s fur was slightly yellow. Having grown a lot over a month, it now tilted its head to size up Xiao Taohong as well.
A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Taohong’s eyes, “Wow! Master, you’re really lucky, picking up a spiritual pet just like that.”
Xuexue looked at her, puzzled, “What spiritual pet?”
Xiao Taohong was about to speak when suddenly, a fierce wind arose in the forest, kicking up dust and sand. Even she, a female ghost, was startled and quickly floated up to check.
The wind blew so strongly that Xuexue could hardly keep her eyes open.
“Ao…!” A deafening roar sounded from behind them.
The Little Tiger in Xuexue’s arms struggled and jumped to the ground. Xuexue wanted to pick it up again, but the fierce wind and flying debris made it impossible to keep an eye on everything, and she could only clutch tightly to a tree to stabilize herself, leaving the safety of Little Tiger out of her control for the moment.
Soon, the wild wind calmed down.
Xuexue, dizzy from the wind, hadn’t yet regained her senses.
Xiao Taohong had already floated beside her, “Master, we’ve encountered a lion.”
At her words, Xuexue opened her eyes and looked ahead. A full-grown lion was about a dozen or so meters away, squinting and glaring intensely at them. Despite its narrow eyes, they were bright and emitted a chilling light. Just the wind alone indicated that it was no good creature.
Xiao Taohong asked, “Master, do you want to take it on, or should I?”
A lion, Xiao Taohong really didn’t take it seriously. Despite the grand entrance the lion made, in her view, it was just a showpiece. Either she or Xuexue could handle it easily.
“I’ll do it.” Xuexue wanted to practice a bit, so she bent down and pulled a dagger from her boots.
“Ao…!” Another roar sounded.
Just as Xuexue was about to step forward, she stopped, turned her head, and saw another magnificent tiger, larger and more formidable than the lion. She frowned slightly, internally lamenting her bad luck. Just out for a stroll, and here she was, encountering both a lion and a tiger.
At that moment, Xiao Taohong swiftly floated in front of her, “Master… that… tiger…”
