Su Yan stomped her feet and escaped from the man’s hand just as he was distracted.
She could only see everything clearly after she jumped a little further.
The chef, whom she had met a few times before, had an impatient look on his fierce face. He held a knife and walked towards her.
Su Yan quickly hopped, but her short legs were no match for the chef’s footsteps. She would be caught up in a few seconds.
Su Yan lost her balance and stumbled.
She looked up and saw An Yi.
Her eyes lit up and she cried out, “Squeak.”
An Yi looked at the fat rabbit on his foot and immediately grabbed her. Before Su Yan could communicate with him, An Yi mercilessly handed her over to the chef.
Under the chef’s gratitude and Su Yan’s despair, they returned to the kitchen.
Su Yan shook her limbs in panic.
Seeing this, the chef immediately tied her up with a rope.
Su Yan was tied up and placed on the chopping board. While the chef was reaching for the knife, she struggled to move her body around.
Unfortunately, it was useless.
The chef turned around and looked at the rabbit’s body that was shifted away from the chopping board. He smiled and said, “This rabbit is really smart. I can’t even bear to kill you.”
Su Yan’s eyes lit up and she looked at him with a teary gaze.
The chef dragged Su Yan back with one hand and raised his knife with the other.
Su Yan’s eyes widened. Didn’t he say that he wouldn’t kill her?
What was he doing?
The chef raised his knife and was about to chop. Yet, he was interrupted by a voice.
“I need a rabbit.”
The knife in the chef’s hand changed direction and landed directly next to the rabbit.
Feeling the vibration from the knife and chopping board, Su Yan gulped.
The chef looked at An Yi and smiled obsequiously. “This is the last rabbit in the kitchen. I’ll give it to you.”
As he spoke, he handed the rabbit on the chopping board to him.
When Su Yan came back to her senses, she was already swaying in An Yi’s hand.
An Yi was blocked by this rabbit just now. That reminded him that he had not fed the tiger-lion yet.
He went back and asked for a rabbit.
Su Yan thought she was safe and let out a long sigh of relief.
At that moment, An Er came out of the main tent. When he saw An Yi and the rabbit, he raised his eyebrows and asked, “What are you going to do?”
An Yi raised the rabbit in his hand and said, “The tiger-lion offered by the Barbarians has not been fed yet. It has been starving for one whole day. I shall feed it a rabbit.”
Feed it a rabbit…
Su Yan never thought that she would end up in a wolf’s den after leaving the tiger’s.
She thought hatefully in her heart, “An Yi, our friendship is over.”
An Yi furrowed his brows and asked, “Is His Royal Highness still the same?”
An Er sighed and nodded, “He’s neither eating nor drinking. He’s been holding the Princess Consort in a daze.”
Su Yan’s expression froze. She looked at the main tent which was just inches away and struggled to break free from An Yi’s hand.
She endured the excruciating pain as if she lost an ear and dashed in.
As soon as Su Yan entered, she saw Gu Ruoyun sitting by the bed. The sadness on his face made her pause.
With that pause, she was caught by An Yi.
“I’m sorry, Your Highness. This rabbit has suddenly lost control.”
Gu Ruoyun acted as if he heard nothing and didn’t even look at them.
An Yi had no choice but to retreat.
Su Yan kept yelling as she struggled with all her might.
Gu Ruoyun turned his head as if he sensed something.
Su Yan looked at him with hope. Gu Ruoyun glanced at her and quickly turned around.
Su Yan dropped her head in disappointment as An Yi brought her away.
Su Yan arrived at an iron cage. She finally how a starving tiger-lion looked like now.
She looked at the ferocious beast that was staring at her greedily. The beast’s bloody mouth was wide open.
Su Yan shivered in despair.
An Yi suddenly raised his arm and looked at her.
Su Yan hurriedly tried to convey her messages, but An Yi could not get them.
With a straight face, he said, “This rabbit is so fat. One should be enough to fill you up.”
