Chapter 424: Lost in the forest?
Liu Hui Ying looked at the tiger which was happily gobbling a big piece of meat and felt three black lines drop on her forehead, all she wanted was to earn a small sum of money how come she became the nanny of an adult tiger along with two cubs? Just what kind of shitty life was even living?
" Who is a good boy? Who is a good boy? Yes, you are! You are the cutest! Awe!" And to make things worst, she could not stop Jia Li from treating that mighty tiger like a dog!
Li Gang was just as speechless, as he looked at the tiger which was rolling on its back while allowing Jia Li to rub his belly all she wanted, he raised his hand and then pointed to the big tiger which was acting like a house cat and asked Liu Hui Ying, " You sure that's a tiger and not some mutilated house cat that went through some trials and tribulations to look like a tiger?
Because it sure is not acting like one, where is the majesty? Where is the aura? He looks sick in the head!"
" Well, tigers are cats as well," Grandma Lan Fen spoke up for the poor tiger. She did not wish to but she needed to at least save the dignity of the poor thing lest Liu Hui Ying snaps and then turn it into a tiger pelt.
" I—-" Li Gang opened his mouth to say that there was no way there was a cat this big who would act like a tamed pup but he was interrupted by Liu Hui Ying who opened her eyes after she was done rubbing her forehead and coldly glared at Jia Li and the tiger.
" Get up and act like a freaking king of the jungle what is the matter with you?" Liu Hui Ying was a celestial master who could govern spirits and animals alike if they were to submit to her, given that her yin energy could be seen by animals.
Even if they could not understand what she was saying, the energy which surrounded her made it easier for them to understand what she was feeling at the moment, and this very minute, she was annoyed to hell and back.
The tiger and Jia Li, both immediately stood up from the ground like soldiers who were ordered by their senior. They did not dare to even make a sound as they stared at Liu Hui Ying in attention, seemingly realising that she was annoyed and angry.
" You truly surprise me, your majesty," Zhai Tianyu who followed Liu Hui Ying after the entire incident was over could not help but remark as he looked at how obediently the tiger was listening to Liu Hui Ying. He did not resemble the tiger who was bent on killing someone just half an hour ago, what made this sudden change happen all of a sudden?
It made him both curious and intrigued.
" My guards told me that it was drugged with field cress which is used to incite anger in animals, how come he is no longer under its effect?" He questioned Liu Hui Ying who turned to look at him and then calm as she pleased replied,
" Animals can see spirits and they are afraid of them—— fear when drawn from the inside can make even the most daring one to tremble with fear. Snapping one awake from a dazed state is the least it can do."
Oh, so the tiger was so scared that he snapped out of his daze on his own? Zhai Tianyu was really amused this time around. Just what kind of thing did this tiger see that it was jolted awake?
" If that is the case, I must say that you are really the queen of beasts," he teased Liu Hui Ying who turned to look at him with an exasperated expression and said in a sort of annoyed and helpless voice, " Your majesty, do you wish to get smacked in the face or what? Why are you teasing me when you know that it will annoy me?"
Zhai Tianyu tilted his head when he heard the threat which Liu Hui Ying gave him and could not help but become even more amused as he said, " You cannot smack me, my queen. I am the Emperor——"
Smack.
The sound of a light slap echoed in the tent as Zhai Tianyu looked at Liu Hui Ying who slapped him with her hand covered in a handkerchief and then raised his head to look into the eyes of Liu Hui Ying as he asked in disbelief, " Di…did you just slap me, my queen?"
" You said that I cannot smack you, which is why I showed you that I can —— I just don't want to," as she spoke she took off the handkerchief which was tied around her hand and then threw it in the brazier with a disgusted look on her face.
Zhai Tianyu looked at the handkerchief which was burning after touching his heavenly face and did not know what to say.
What in the world?!
He turned to look at Liu Hui Ying and then said in a rapid-fire motion, " The reason you can smack me as you wish is that I dote on you! If I did not dote on you and was not patient and understanding, you would have never been able to touch my heavenly face! The face of the Emperor is the face of the country, you cannot just smack it as you want !"
When Liu Hui Ying heard his words, she turned to look at him and sneered, " Heh, your doting is really cheap your esteemed majesty. I am being doted on by you, where are my rewards, the gifts and the money," she raised her hand and then smacked her other hand on the palm of the other one as she counted one after another.
" The courtyard which you promised me is yet to be handed to me and the spending amount which is given to me is one silver tael! What do you want me to purchase with it? A banana?"
