Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble
Chapter 214 Feeding Time
"What do you mean she left?!" Hu Dengxiao whispered, motioning Lu Tianbi to speak softly. He looked around, fortunately no one heard him.
"Go and see for yourself!" Lu Tianbi hissed. She flicked her wrist angrily at the tent door, which was lined with thick, immovable curtains.
Hu Dengxiao stuck his head in, and sure enough, he couldn't see the girl. "How did she escape?"
"This must have happened while I was talking to you. I couldn't look back, so I must not have seen her sneak away."
"This is not good. She can't run around everywhere." Hu Dengxiao frowned and said worriedly.
"I know," she snapped. "It's feeding time for the little orange!"
"I still can't believe our Second Prince actually named the tiger Little Orange!" Hu Dengxiao frowned. "First, he named his horse after the color of its chestnut fur, and then-"
"You're getting off topic!" Lu Tianbi was angry. "Let's go, we have to find her before Xiaojuzi does."
"You, you don't think Little Orange will eat her? I mean, our commander feeds him well."
The bloody scene flashing through Lu Tianbi's mind made her tremble all over. "I hope Xiaojuzi doesn't want fresh prey today."
Li Xueyue had no intention of walking away. She wanted to use the bathroom and thought it would be somewhere secluded in the forest. But now she was lost in said forest. Turning left and right, everywhere was the same. Which direction had she come from again?
Li Xueyue sighed in frustration. "Well done, you idiot," she muttered.
Li Xueyue walked around. A breeze blew past her and she smelled a delicious smell. Her eyes lit up. That must be the direction of the camp!
She followed the mouth-watering smell of food and began to walk quickly in that direction, until her way was blocked by the tiger that she and Li Wenmin had seen.
Suddenly, Li Xueyue was stunned, her eyes widened. She was terrified to see the huge tiger lazily passing by her.
The tiger looked at her and showed its bright yellow fangs. Li Xueyue watched her life wither before her eyes.
"T-tiger," she stammered.
Li Xueyue almost covered her face. She was so stupid. Oh my god, it was a tiger, not a dog! And why did this tiger keep appearing wherever she went? First it was the fields, and now it was the forest.
Whose ill-tempered animal was this? She doubted anyone would be crazy enough to keep a wild beast as a pet.
The tiger growled in warning, encouraging her to take a step forward. It guarded the path back to camp.
Li Xueyue had no choice but to slowly retreat and head in another direction. The tiger watched her movements with sharp eyes.
Li Xueyue watched her steps. She was careful not to step on branches and anger the animals. Was there blood on his lips? She swallowed.
"I don't taste very good," she said, though the tiger probably didn't understand what she meant. "Really, I'm skinny."
The tiger continued to stare at her as she slowly retreated back into the forest. Li Xueyue made sure they did not make eye contact. She was careful not to turn her back on him.
Inch by inch, she began to disappear into the forest. She backed away until the tiger was out of sight. Still, she continued to walk backwards, her eyes fixed on the direction where the tiger was most likely to rest.
Eventually, her lack of awareness of her surroundings led to a massive trip. She screamed and fell directly onto her back. A hand covered her mouth, and her eyes were wide open. Did the tiger hear her?
Li Xueyue held her breath. The only sound she could hear was the violent beating of her petrified heart. A few seconds passed, and there was no response.
"I can live another day." Li Xueyue patted her chest and gasped.
Li Xueyue observed the surrounding environment and thought it would be better to go in her direction. However, this time, she was only a few feet away from the tiger. She hoped and prayed that the tiger did not have a keen sense of smell like Heiyue.
Talking about her horse, she suddenly felt a sense of trepidation. What if Black Moon got lost on his way back? What if he was now trapped in the forest, scared and hungry? She bit her lower lip, worried that something might happen to her beloved friend.
"Please be okay, please be okay," she repeated in a low voice as she began the trek back to camp.
Just then, she saw something moving out of the corner of her eye. Li Xueyue turned her head sharply and saw him. His tall figure was obvious. Through the evergreen trees, he was most eye-catching in his dark clothes.
Where is he going?
Li Xueyue decided to follow him. If anyone knew the way back to the camp, it was Yu Zhen. So she quickened her pace and began to tiptoe forward.
Her steps were light and airy. She was careful not to step on any branches. He was going where she least expected him. He strode deeper into the forest.
It was too late to go back to where they came from. Li Xueyue had no choice but to follow him, hoping that he could take her back to the camp.
Instead, they arrived at a heavily guarded site. The campground was only a few feet away. It was then that she realized how large the campground was. It must have stretched for at least a mile.
How is this possible? Why didn't anyone see Han Jian's soldiers here?
Li Xueyue finally realized that these were all unclaimed territories. They did not belong to the Duke, and they were far from the walls of the manor. The Li family guards did not need to patrol here.
"So many soldiers here..." she whispered, noticing at least two layers of soldiers surrounding a nondescript tent.
Li Xueyue watched from the tree as Yu Zhen began to approach the tent. He disappeared into it, and then a blood-curdling scream pierced the air.
She was frightened by the sound like a pig being slaughtered and stumbled. Fortunately, she was able to slip behind a tree and cover her mouth with her hands. Her breathing became rapid and her eyes opened wide.
Being discovered was the least of her worries. In the distance, she could see the looming silhouette of a striped animal. The tiger was coming this way, most likely attracted by the animalistic roar.
"No!" a high-pitched voice screamed. It was followed by another scream, the sound was so terrible that she almost fainted.
The terrifying sound made Li Xueyue tremble all over. She couldn't control her heart, which pounded violently against her chest. The fear was too much, and the tiger was getting closer and closer to her now.
She made direct eye contact with the orange beast. That was it. She was going to die today.
The tiger was only an arm's length away from her.
Li Xueyue suddenly made a decision. "I can't die so young! Before I start a family, I have lovely children and a lazy dog who loves snacks as much as I do!" she whispered.
Li Xueyue had no choice but to tell her side of the story. When the tiger approached her, she slipped out of the woods.
"Stop!" a voice screamed at her. "Turn around."
Li Xueyue pointed at the tiger, shaking. "We, we can't abandon the tiger. I read somewhere that they will pounce on you."
She heard footsteps as the guards left the area, and when she turned her head, she saw two soldiers disappearing into the tent.
Li Xueyue felt like she had jumped from a pot into a fire. In less than a second, Yu Zhen came out of the tent. He looked very unhappy with his irritable eyes and sneer on his lips.
