CHAPTER 348: CHAPTER 331: THE GOLDEN TIGER’S ALLEGIANCE

When the tiger landed, it showed no intent of eating him. The tiger’s eyes glanced at him disdainfully, and its tail swept him two meters away.

This all happened in a flash, and someone immediately reacted, shouting, "Release the arrows!"

Instantly, countless sharp arrows rained down from all directions, targeting the golden fur.

"Roar—"

Golden Fur raised its head, letting out an angry roar, and brandished its claws as it lunged towards the person giving orders.

"Little Gold! Back off!"

Yun Ran uttered in a low voice, her figure appearing like a phantom above the golden fur, her long sleeves fluttering as gusts of wind swept away the incoming arrows.

"Wanyue!"

"Yue’er!"

Two exclamations rang out in unison, as Shen Mubai and Shen Weixi rushed towards Yun Ran, standing in front of her, confronting the surrounding crowd:

"Stop it! Hold your arrows!"

Most people only wanted to hunt the tiger and did not expect Yun Ran to suddenly appear in the midst of the arrows. They were caught unawares and quite fearful.

If they accidentally killed her, who knows how Nangong Mo would retaliate! They didn’t want to provoke that god of death!

A few indeed wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill Yun Ran, but they had just seen her casually wave her sleeve, and none of the arrows could touch her, all being deflected away!

Now, with the Shen siblings protecting her, it was highly unlikely they would succeed, so they had to give up bitterly.

Shen Mubai quickly turned back to Yun Ran, his eyes swiftly checking her from head to toe. Seeing she was unharmed, he finally let out a breath of relief.

His gaze fell on the golden fur behind her, recalling the previous scene, he couldn’t help but wonder, "Wanyue, that golden Tiger King..."

"Shut up! Don’t ask!"

Shen Mubai: "..."

Beside him, Shen Weixi immediately looked at him gleefully, making faces full of provocation and disdain.

See that! Yue’er doesn’t want to acknowledge you at all! Haven’t you realized how much people hate you?

Watch carefully, let me teach you how to behave!

"Yue’er, that..."

Shen Weixi was about to ask the same question when Yun Yan’s voice rang out, "Princess Qin, is that golden Tiger King truly yours?"

Shen Weixi: "..."

Even though being interrupted was slightly annoying, this person was her idol!

Shen Weixi immediately looked at Yun Yan with stars in her eyes and urged, "Yue’er, the General is asking you a question!"

Yun Ran: "..."

[Is this what they call being blindsided by beauty? Ha! Fool!]

"Indeed! It is mine."

As if to prove her point, Yun Ran beckoned to the golden fur, "Little Gold, come here."

"Roar—"

The golden fur shook its golden shining coat, swaggering over to Yun Ran and flopped down at her feet, as obedient as a big kitty.

This scene left many people dumbfounded.

People whispered among themselves, incredulous:

"Could she really be telling the truth? Has that golden fur claimed her as its master? No way! How did she do it?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! A fierce beast would never easily acknowledge a master! It must be a coincidence! Pure chance!"

Some looked at Yun Ran and suggested, "This doesn’t prove anything, unless you command it to do something else."

Yun Ran looked over at the voice and suddenly smiled and said, "Little Gold, go say hello to him."

"??!!"

That person instantly widened his eyes in horror as the golden fur got up and walked towards him, almost scaring the soul out of him, "No, no, that’s not..."

"Roar—"

Before he finished speaking, the tiger was already in front of him, its round tiger eyes staring at him inches away, locking eyes with him.

The hot breath from the tiger’s mouth hit him in the face.

The man flipped his eyes back and fainted directly from fright.

"Little Gold, come back."

Upon hearing Yun Ran’s voice, the golden fur immediately turned its head to her, shaking its plump tiger head as it happily trotted towards her. As it passed by the crowd, it bared its teeth at them, its ferocity showing.

The crowd: "......"

This tiger actually has a two-faced nature!

The golden fur returned to Yun Ran’s feet and nestled its head against her shoes, even wagging its tail at her.

The few people who had been swept away by its tail earlier watched that wagging pleading tail with expressions that were beyond description.

"General Yun, have I now proven it’s mine?"

Facing Yun Ran’s bright smiling eyes, Yun Yan’s usually stern face softened slightly, immediately affirming Yun Ran’s ownership.

And he announced to the crowd, "Since this tiger was hunted by Princess Qin, it should rightfully belong to her. Everyone disperse and seek other prey."

Though the reasoning was valid, some refused to let Yun Ran benefit so easily.

For example, with a nod from Lin Yanran, Qin Feng stepped up, "I’m just purely curious, how did a weak woman like her hunt and tame such a fierce Tiger King?"

His words immediately drew countless echoing responses.

"Right! Let her explain! We’re curious too!"

The people shouting in agreement created quite a commotion.

Lin Yanran, standing amidst the crowd, glared at Yun Ran with some venom in her eyes, filled with hidden hatred.

Originally, that white fox was nearly within her grasp, yet was snatched away by her interference!

Such a pure white fox is extremely hard to come by; even though Qishan is rumored to have white foxes, they are extremely rare, to even encounter one is a stroke of luck.

Her arduous journey to Qishan was partly to catch more glimpses of the Crown Prince, and partly for the white fox.

The Empress has always favored the White Fox Fur, and if she pleased her, she might happily set her wedding date with the Crown Prince early.

But now, such a great opportunity has been ruined by Lin Wanyue, that useless girl!

How could she not hate her!

Her gaze was too blatant; Yun Ran found it hard to ignore and couldn’t help but glance coldly at her while speaking to the noisy crowd.

"Since you are so curious, why not let Little Gold play with you?"

The crowd: "??!!"

Little Gold? That tiger? Play with them? How will it play?

"Lin Wanyue! What trick are you trying to pull? Let me warn you, under the sun’s bright justice, don’t think of unleashing the tiger to do harm!"

The words were spoken boldly, but actions spoke faster than the mind, as he took several big steps back, hiding behind the soldiers.

Yun Ran lazily rolled her eyes, openly showing disdain, "Look at how scared you are, do you dare to show your face coming out here brazenly? Aren’t you ashamed?"

The crowd: "..."

Just as they wanted to argue reasonably, they saw Yun Ran stroke the golden fur’s round head, "Little Gold, do you want to play with them a little? Do you like the game of cat and mouse?"

The crowd: "......"

What cat and mouse? Who’s the cat? Who’s the mouse?!
