Chapter 44: You Little Bootlicker
“Sis, will Big Cat die?” Lin Nan didn’t feel afraid upon seeing this; instead, he was very worried about Big Tiger.
“No, how could it die when it’s so powerful?” Lin Xin replied.
“Yeah, Nan Nan thinks so too, and plus Older Sister is here!” In Lin Nan’s little heart, Older Sister was an omnipotent existence.
“You little bootlicker!” Lin Xin rubbed his little cheek.
At this moment, the tiger suddenly moved.
Although its injured hind leg was somewhat hindering it, the explosive power of a tiger was not to be underestimated. It pounced lightly with thunderous speed, its two front claws landing on the bear’s shoulders, its bloody mouth viciously biting toward the bear’s throat.
The brown bear’s fur and fat layer were extremely thick, with remarkable defensive capabilities. The tiger’s teeth were sharp, but they merely penetrated the skin and flesh on its neck without biting through the blood vessels, so this bite was not fatal but enough to cause it pain.
Originally on the passive defensive side, and with the tiger’s movements extremely swift, by the time the brown bear wanted to use its pair of sharp claws to tear apart the tiger in front of it that had caused it great pain, the tiger had already ended the attack and jumped away. The brown bear’s sharp claws only left three shallow scars on the tiger’s body on the left side.
“Roar~” The brown bear’s furious roar shook the surrounding leaves as if they were trembling.
“Big Bear seems angry.” Lin Nan whispered in Lin Xin’s ear, a bit startled by the bear’s roar.
“It’s okay, your Big Cat will win.” Lin Xin patted his back, pressing his little head onto her shoulder with her hand, while quietly condensing the water vapor around the brown bear into a sharp water blade. She thrust it into the wound that the tiger had just torn open on its throat, successfully severing its major artery in one go.
“Roar~” Another roar that echoed through the mountain forest rang out, and blood sprayed from the brown bear’s throat like an arrow, shooting a distance of one or two zhang.
The rapidly draining blood also took away the brown bear’s strength, and soon its legs went limp, sitting down on the ground with a thud.
The tiger’s stamina had also been consumed quite a bit, but in that instant just now, it seemed to smell a familiar scent.
Its originally crouched body suddenly stood up, sniffing hard, its massive head turning toward Lin Xin and them. Upon seeing Lin Xin and Lin Nan’s figures, it let out a joyful “aowoo” and, ignoring the two bears behind it, came running over with limping little steps.
Mo Ziyuan had been following behind Lin Xin and her younger brother the whole time, ready at any moment to help if they encountered danger.
So when Big Tiger was about to reach them, he flashed in front of the siblings.
“Aowoo!” Big Tiger was displeased, letting out a long call before slightly crouching its body, preparing to pounce and bite this obstructive two-legged beast to death.
“Come here!” Lin Xin immediately saw its intention and quickly shouted.
“Aowoo~” Big Tiger immediately looked over all wronged, and upon seeing Lin Nan also turn his head, it lay down on the ground, exposing its injured rear buttocks, hind leg, and side ribs.
“Sis, Big Cat is injured.” Sure enough, as soon as Lin Nan saw so many wounds, he immediately became anxious.
For this “refined” Big Tiger, Lin Xin was already speechless. She squatted down to let Lin Nan off and followed behind him toward Big Tiger.
“Miss Lin, this… you all······” Mo Ziyuan was stunned, especially seeing Lin Nan run over and affectionately lie on Big Tiger’s body, hugging its neck, even his little elbow brushing against the wound on its side, yet Big Tiger didn’t flip out and bite him but slightly adjusted its body to let him lie more comfortably.
“This is the tiger Old Cui saw at my home.” Lin Xin said indifferently.
Mo Ziyuan’s expression suddenly became somewhat flustered.
“Um, I can apologize to you and your younger brother on their behalf.”
“No need, just don’t come disturb us anymore in the future.”
Lin Xin thought for a moment and added: “I did indeed remove a small copper tube from the tiger’s hind leg, but I didn’t open it. I’ll give it to you when I get back; tell your people not to disturb our lives anymore.”
Looking at her cold and aloof brows, Mo Ziyuan inexplicably felt his teeth ache, but he couldn’t think of any good way to change the impression he had in this young lady’s heart. He could only earnestly give her a deep bow and say solemnly: “Miss Lin is wise and understanding; Zi Yuan thanks you here.”
“You don’t need to do that. I just don’t like being disturbed, nor do I like my younger brother being used by others; it has nothing to do with being wise and understanding.” Lin Xin’s expression remained cold and indifferent throughout.
Mo Ziyuan saw her like this and didn’t know what else to say, but he always felt uneasy in his heart.
He had a feeling that if he just took the things and left this time, there would be no more interaction between him and her afterward, and he clearly knew that he didn’t want it to be like this.
He didn’t want her to face him with such a cold and indifferent expression, didn’t want her words to imply that they would never meet again, and even more didn’t want to never appear in her world again in the future.
As the Heir of Dingguo Duke, Mo Ziyuan was surrounded by elites or high-ranking officials, and he couldn’t figure out why he wanted so much to be involved in the world of a little village girl.
While he was lost in thought, Lin Xin quietly used her supernatural ability to heal 60% of the Tiger’s injuries. Of course, it still looked just as serious on the outside, but the inside had already fully healed, and it could move freely.
She didn’t dare treat Mo Ziyuan as casually as Lin Nan. The strong vitality on him, the eyes that could see into one’s heart at a glance, and the cold and heavy expression when he wasn’t speaking all indicated that this person was absolutely perceptive.
Lin Xin’s sixth sense was frantically feeding her information: this man was not to be trifled with, absolutely not!
At this time, Lin Nan, who had gotten close enough to the Big Tiger, walked over, looked up and said, “Sis, Big Cat is so badly hurt, it’s so pitiful. Can we take it home?”
Lin Xin instinctively looked at the Tiger, only to see the creature lying on the ground with its two claws crossed together, its huge tiger head resting on top, its originally fierce eyes drooping at the corners, and its ears flapping one after another. If not
“Alright! But its food has to be your own responsibility!” Lin Xin averted her face with stinging eyes.
“Miss Lin, what do you plan to do with these two bears? You probably can’t conveniently take them down the mountain. If you don’t mind, I can help you with this.” Mo Ziyuan saw Lin Xin glancing intentionally or unintentionally at the two dead bears, so he quickly stepped forward and said.
Lin Xin rolled her eyes hard in her heart. How am I inconvenient? You’re the biggest inconvenience here, okay!
But she could only accept it. “In that case, many thanks!”
“I think these two bear young ladies definitely won’t be able to finish them. Rather than letting them spoil, it’s better to sell them. I have connections for this. I wonder, young lady······”
“Leave me the right front paws of the two bears, and trouble you to handle the rest for me!”
“Good, many thanks to the young lady for trusting me.”
This Mo Ziyuan had positioned his status very low right from their first meeting. He clearly wanted very much to obtain the things in her hands, but still placed her safety as the top priority, which was much better than those people before who only thought of using Lin Nan.
Lin Xin absolutely refused to admit that her judgment also contained even a tiny bit of “beauty equals justice” in it.
