Chapter 51: This Cub Smells So Good, So Comfortable
“Brother Yuan Li, look, Linglong Older Sister gave this to me.”
“Keke, look…”
Keke: What’s so great about it? Your cub is too inexperienced. You’re only three years old and haven’t even been to the Heavenly Emperor’s palace banquet. That’s where true celestial maidens dance; it’s much more beautiful than this.
The Heavenly Realm and the mortal world became lively, and countless people cheered, wanting to interact with the graceful dancers.
Just as everything was infinitely wonderful, some people entirely wrapped in black appeared.
They held weapons and all rushed towards a private room on the third floor.
After a brief moment of stillness, panic erupted.
“Assassin! There’s an assassin!”
By Qin Wanwan and Yin Yuanli’s side, the guard army and border army instantly surrounded the two, adopting a protective stance.
Fortunately, those assassins in black had no intention of harming anyone else; their target was solely one room.
“It’s Shang Wuyang!”
Everyone’s hearts stirred, and the thought flashed through their minds almost simultaneously.
Wang Dequan worriedly said, “Your Highness, we should hide. Don’t get implicated.”
That private room is a bit too close to us.
Qin Wanwan immediately crouched timidly in a corner and hid herself, being quite obedient.
She stretched her little neck and peeked out occasionally, but with her height and the corner she was hiding in, she couldn’t see anything.
Qin Wanwan could only nervously pinch her little fingers and ask softly, “Keke, Daddy will be okay, right?”
Keke said, “He’ll be fine. Your daddy has been targeted for assassination countless times and hasn’t been harmed.”
Almost the moment it finished speaking, the black-clad person in the lead was flung away.
Several finger-length arrows shot out from that private room like a scattering of flowers, taking the lives of several assassins in the blink of an eye.
Some arrows flew to other places.
One arrow was embedded in the door of their private room.
Wang Dequan wiped cold sweat from his brow: “Good heavens, I finally understand why General Xie said to stay far away from Shang Wuyang. He’s truly dangerous.”
With these indiscriminate arrows, one wrong move could be fatal.
Other guests who came to the Heavenly Realm and the mortal world obviously had plenty of experience; they had already found places to hide when they discovered the assassins.
Those without experience were also driven to hide by the people of the Heavenly Realm and the mortal world.
Dancers with martial arts skills and the guards of the Heavenly Realm and the mortal world all went to the third floor to help kill the assassins.
Some assassins rushed into that private room but were soon forced out again.
Several people wearing white ghost masks came out of the private room. Their attacks were swift, decisive, and brutal, with every move designed to be fatal.
These were Shang Wuyang’s Ghost Mask Shadow Guards.
Qin Wanwan really wanted to go and see, but she was still too timid.
Fearing she might lose her life if she ran over, she could only stay put for now.
While the fight was raging on over there, no one noticed that a sneaky great lion quietly slipped out of the private room.
The golden great lion, with its luxuriant mane and well-fed, plump appearance, sniffed around with its black nose before finally locking onto its target.
Suddenly, the window of the private room where Qin Wanwan and her group were was smashed open, and a massive figure leaped in.
Wang Dequan’s voice shrieked in fright.
“Quick, protect Your Highness and Miss Wanwan!”
The guard army and border army blocked the front, and their eyes nearly bulged out when they saw what had entered.
“What… what kind of beast is this!”
Lions are not found in the Central Plains; this is a creature from the tropical grasslands, and they don’t have them in their own grasslands.
Only Shang Wuyang had the ability to procure and raise such a lion.
The lion was large in size, clearly a beast comparable to a fierce tiger, and the people inside the room dared not move rashly for a moment.
As the atmosphere remained tense, the tiny, beautiful little ball finally squeezed out from between the grown-ups’ long legs.
Yin Yuanli couldn’t even grab her.
“No fighting, no fighting! I’m here for Wanwan, for Wanwan.”
She was super confident about this.
“Big lion!”
“Roar~”
The majestic great lion let out a low growl, its black eyes reflecting Qin Wanwan’s tiny figure.
He had thought the cub looked super appealing and good-looking at first glance, and now he saw it was true!
Qin Wanwan wanted to walk over, but she was held back tightly.
“Miss, you can’t go over there! That’s a beast; it’ll eat people.”
Qin Wanwan replied very seriously, “I’m not a person.”
Everyone:………
Do you want to hear what you’re saying?
While they were in a state of disarray, the great lion suddenly moved.
In a single bound, it was by Qin Wanwan’s side.
Suddenly, there was chaos, and their swords almost struck.
Yin Yuanli: “Stop!”
Qin Wanwan had already hugged the great lion’s head and nuzzled it.
“Fluffy and soft.”
This lion, raised by Shang Wuyang, had its mane meticulously groomed. It was not only smooth and clean but also carried a pleasant scent.
The great lion lay down directly, pressing its large head against Qin Wanwan.
This cub smells so good, so comfortable.
The mutual affection they showed left the other people in the room frozen in their poses, staring in astonishment.
This… what is this situation?!
Yin Yuanli pondered thoughtfully. It seemed that not only livestock but also carnivorous animals were obedient in front of Wanwan.
Qin Wanwan was very small compared to the adult great lion, and she could climb all over the lion without any problems.
She actually climbed on it, causing the hearts of those present to nearly leap out of their chests.
“Miss, be careful!”
A group of big men looked on cautiously, their eyes fixed on the child climbing on the lion.
What was even more outrageous was the lion’s gaze at their young lady; it was incredibly affectionate and indulgent.
“Wheee~~~”
An inconspicuous whistle sounded, and the great lion’s ears twitched as it suddenly stood up.
Qin Wanwan slid off its back.
Before she could even stand steady, the great lion bit the back of her collar and ran off.
It ran away…
The great lion ran off so suddenly that by the time they reacted, the enormous cub was gone!!!
“Miss!!!”
Yin Yuanli’s little face turned a bit dark: “What are you shouting for? Chase after her!”
The lion’s speed was quite fast; carrying Qin Wanwan by the collar, it dashed into another private room without any hindrance.
Yin Yuanli and the others chased after it but were blocked at the door.
It was the Ghost Mask Shadow Guards.
The border army soldier was furious: “Hand over our Wanwan!”
The Ghost Mask Shadow Guards remained unmoved.
As for those assassins, they had already been dealt with.
Meanwhile, inside that private room, the great lion, carrying the milk ball, trotted up to Shang Wuyang and placed the child in front of him.
“Roar!”
Look at me, I found a big treasure.
Qin Wanwan lost her balance and fell to the ground. Her small hands instinctively grasped something.
Looking down, she saw a section of a red robe.
Her freshly bumped buttocks hurt a bit, and Qin Wanwan’s eyes turned slightly red, looking on the verge of tears, appearing somewhat pitiful.
She raised her little face and stared blankly at the person in front of her.
The man was wearing a flamboyant red robe, with a white fur cloak that looked very expensive draped over it. His skin was snow-white, and his black hair was smooth and beautiful.
He wore a mask, making it impossible to see his face clearly, but it only added to his mystery.
