Quick Transmigration: Kitten's Healing Handbook - Chapter 49
Chapter 49: Raccoon Dog! To Combat! 4
Zhou Qingmu was about to buy this beauty, but unexpectedly, he was beaten to the punch. A Scholar in White gave the Miss a few taels of silver, telling her to bury her father and not to demean herself.
Zhou Qingmu directly stepped forward, pushed the Scholar in White away, and gave him a gold ingot: “Follow this Young Master, and this gold will be yours. ”
If it weren’t for that scholar, Xiaoyu would have followed the generous young master before her. But the scholar was right. Her father named her Xiaoyu hoping his daughter would be as pure as jade: “Young Master, I already have money to bury my father. I cannot accept your money. ”
Saying this, Xiaoyu was about to help the Scholar in White who had been pushed down, but Zhou Qingmu grabbed her wrist: “Do you think this Young Master is negotiating with you? If you obey, this Young Master will have your father buried properly. Otherwise, this Young Master will have your father dismembered and fed to dogs. ”
Zhou Qingmu, seeing the woman’s tearful appearance, wanted to bully her even more: “Bring someone here, beat that scholar, and throw him outside the city to the barren mountains. ”
“Young Master, I will go with you. You will bury my father properly, right? ”
Zhou Qingmu saw that the woman didn’t mention the scholar, and his inexplicable anger subsided a lot: “Of course, considering your understanding, be gentler with that scholar. ”
Zhou Qingmu said so, but the look in his eyes toward his subordinates was not the same. He was just trying to leave a good impression on the beauty.
Zhou Qingmu thus abducted the beauty back to the Prince’s Mansion. Liuli arrived at the Prince’s Mansion and saw a delicate woman being taken by the servants to wash up, then changing into a light red silk dress.
It must be said that a delicate woman paired with a red silk dress is quite visually striking.
Xiaoyu was somewhat dumbfounded. Although she had some guesses when she was brought back by the young master, being treated like a puppet doll and sent to the young master’s bedroom upon entering was somewhat difficult to accept…
“Young Master, I am a daughter of a respectable family. You cannot do this to me… ”
“Cry, I love this crying look of yours. ”
Liuli successfully eavesdropped. She didn’t have any feelings for that woman. Hearing Tuánzi say that the woman was burying her father, she should have been prepared for such a thing and prepared to bear the consequences.
Meeting Zhou Qingmu was considered good treatment. Although the backyard was full of wives and concubines, those women knew Zhou Qingmu’s character and got along relatively peacefully. There were just many people, but could the children of the royal family lack food for them?
As long as Zhou Qingmu didn’t fall, they would have food and clothing, and occasionally serving him was also appropriate, wasn’t it?
It was a bit hurtful to change someone’s name without even asking.
Xiaoyu was forced to change her name. Now called Qinghuan, she was sent back to the backyard and arranged to live in an attic near an artificial lake.
Qinghuan cried sadly. After a while, a beautiful woman with a flamboyant appearance came to Qinghuan’s residence to talk to her.
Liuli saw another beauty and didn’t rush to leave, continuing to eavesdrop.
It must be said that Zhou Qingmu’s legal wife had extraordinary means. With so many concubines, none of them were jealous, thanks to the legal wife’s brainwashing. There was even a dog-leg who enthusiastically came to brainwash the newcomer and gave her an abortion-inducing medicine, clearly brainwashed very successfully.
Zhou Qingmu and the Crown Prince were on the same side. She couldn’t enter the Eastern Palace, so she simply stayed at Zhou Qingmu’s mansion. Besides eavesdropping, she also heard a lot of useful news.
Two months passed. On the top of Zhou Qingmu’s study, Liuli heard the news that Zhou Qingyan’s successful suppression of bandits and his return to the capital, and also heard Zhou Qingmu’s plan to give Zhou Qingyan a strong dose of something.
The Book of Fate, which hadn’t glowed red for two months, was now shining brightly. Liuli’s leisurely time was gone forever…
Liuli, a kitten, naturally couldn’t outrun the assassins who were riding at full speed, but a cat could take the less traveled path. She hurried as much as possible, and finally arrived before the assassins.
Liuli didn’t want to be caught and burned as an oddity. She had Tuánzi lead the way to find the Tiger King in this forest. Liuli, relying on her agile figure, pounced, striking a blow to the head, then ran towards the assassins.
The Tiger King was the authority in this area. When had he ever suffered such disrespect? He roared angrily and began to chase the audacious kitten.
The Tiger King huffed and puffed in pursuit. The assassins, with their sharp five senses, heard the sounds in the forest, but it didn’t sound like an ambush, thinking it was a mountain animal hunting. They were only secretly vigilant, not taking it too seriously. However, Liuli led the Tiger King straight towards them.
Animals mostly rely on their sense of smell to hunt prey. Liuli wasn’t afraid that the tiger would lose track. At top speed, she leaped from the dense treetops to the other side of the assassins’ ambush, settling on a treetop.
The Tiger King’s ability to rule this forest naturally meant he was strong, but the assassins had martial arts and weapons. Liuli lured the Tiger King only to make the deaths of these assassins seem more reasonable; she didn’t want the Tiger King to die, so she definitely had to help.
When the fighting started, the Tiger King’s roar could also alert Zhou Qingyan’s troops to move further away from this place and escape this disaster.
These assassins felt something move across the treetops above them, immediately feeling uneasy and preparing to change location, but it was too late…
The Tiger King, enraged by being led on a chase, felt even more provoked when he saw humans brandishing weapons at him. With a roar, he directly bit the hand of the person closest to him and flung him away. The person’s hand remained in the tiger’s mouth, and the person flew out, hitting a tree, his fate unknown.
This gave them a moment to react. Although they were ambushed in the forest, they were not far from the roadside. The trees prevented them from maneuvering, so they planned to lure the tiger to the road to make their escape or fight easier.
Liuli naturally wouldn’t let them escape so easily. Leaping from the tree, she landed accurately on the head of the person running at the front, slashing down with her paw, directly severing his throat. Before he fell, Liuli lunged at the second person, scratching their eyes from top to bottom, then using their body to spring back onto the tree.
Of the two at the front, one fell to the ground, and the other covered his eyes, momentarily unsure of where to run, directly blocking the path of several people behind him.
Not ready to fight, two more people were killed by the tiger in an instant.
The remaining five could only fight on the spot.
The five, unable to maneuver, were quickly dealt with by the tiger. Seeing that the Tiger King was handling things with ease and the red light in the Book of Fate had dissipated, Liuli quickly ran away. She didn’t want to fight the Tiger King.
Fortunately, the Tiger King had plenty of reserve food and didn’t bother with the small thing that had offended him.
As for why there were only ten assassins trying to confront Zhou Qingyan, who was leading a large army, it was naturally to wait for the army to set up camp and rest, then sneak into the commander’s tent to launch a surprise attack.
If successful, it would be a great victory. Even if they only managed to injure Zhou Qingyan, it would still be a success. In the worst-case scenario, they would at least have angered him, so that on the return journey, Zhou Qingyan would have to be constantly vigilant and wouldn’t be able to sleep well.
