Asking for Trouble
Asking for Trouble
The little white squirrel pawed at the weeds on the ground. It swung its four tails and stared aggressively at the tiger with its furry ferocious face.
The shrubs nearby shook, and all of a sudden—
A sinister, horrifying, and wrinkled old face abruptly appeared in front of Qiao Mu.
That old woman moved rapidly. She appeared in front of Qiao Mu without stopping, like a wisp of smoke.
Qiao Mu was startled, and she reflexively stepped backward.
She was met with a wrinkled old face in which half of it had been burned black and was missing an eye.
"Roar!" The ferocious tiger roared irascibly.
The old woman quickly stuck out a finger to stop it. She spoke in a low, raspy voice, "Red Fur, stop it."
Her single eye was fixated on Qiao Mu just like this. It made Qiao Mu's hair stand on end.
Suddenly, a tear streamed down from her single eye.
The old woman suddenly knelt down without warning. She cried profusely, "My lady, you have returned."
Qiao Mu's heart jolted. However, she couldn't help but take two steps back. She stared at the old woman in the eye, and then her gaze flickered.
"My lady, Chenshang has been waiting for you for a long, long time. I have finally awaited your return!"
Qiao Mu looked expressionlessly at the old woman. After a while, she spoke solemnly. "You've got the wrong person."
The single-eyed old woman, Chenshang, was taken aback. She examined Qiao Mu expectantly for a long time before blurting out, "You, you! You are, you are my lady's… daughter?"
At this time, a small ruckus suddenly broke out beyond Wind Chasing Court's walls.
The red-furred tiger roared irritably. It swung its tail and looked at the old woman for instructions.
The old woman nodded and said with a frown, "Chase all those unnecessary people away."
"Roar!" The tiger clawed the ground and sprung forward ferociously with a roar. It darted outside the courtyard like an arrow in flight.
All the disciples in the Mu Clan were here to watch the excitement and fan the flames. They all gathered at the door to Wind Chasing Court and were peeking inside.
Everyone was filled with curiosity.
"I heard that that person has gone in for a long time already. How come she hasn't come out yet?"
"It couldn't be that she overestimated herself and died inside, right?"
"This won't implicate our Mu Clan, right?"
"Roar!" Just as everyone was making guesses with ill intentions, a brawny tiger that was red from head to toe jumped out from the courtyard walls. The ferocious beast glowered at them covetously.
"Wow! What is this?"
"It's… it's a scarlet fire-spitting tiger!"
"F*ck, I forgot that a scarlet fire-spitting tiger keeps watch here!"
"Quick, quickly. Go, go, go!"
The crowd descended into chaos as they shoved each other to get out of there.
However, the scarlet fire-spitting tiger wasn't going to hold back with them. It directly spit out several fist-sized fireballs.
The fireballs landed in the crowd, promptly eliciting yowls from the people they burned.
Qiao Mu opened the door to Wind Chasing Court and stood there. She just coldly watched on as those people ran off like stray dogs from fear of fire.
A bunch of idiots.
Qiao Mu glanced at them coldly. She just stood there silently at the door of Wind Chasing Court, watching them skedaddle haphazardly.
When one male disciple got caught by the tiger, he immediately knelt in fright and begged for mercy.
