Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 653 - Chapter 653 Chapter 653 Cut Off the Tail

Chapter 653: Chapter 653 Cut Off the Tail Chapter 653: Chapter 653 Cut Off the Tail “Just a tiger, do we really need to panic? And to think you’re a ghost. Worst case scenario, we each take on one.” Xuexue rolled up her sleeves, ready for a fight.

“No, no.”

Xiao Taohong waved her hands frantically. Xuexue had her back to Little Tiger and hadn’t seen what happened to him. From her vantage point in the air, Xiao Taohong had a clear view of everything below and what she saw left her stunned–the big tiger was clearly Little Tiger transformed.

Xuexue looked puzzled at Xiao Taohong, “What’s wrong with you?”

Xiao Taohong was at a loss for words and couldn’t express her thoughts. She simply raised her arm and pointed ahead, “Look…”

Xuexue looked up and saw the big tiger fiercely fighting with a lion, their roars shaking the ground.

Xuexue hesitated for a moment, realizing that the big tiger had come to help her.

The lion was known as the King of the Plains, and the tiger as the King of the Forest. The two Kings of a Hundred Beasts were now entangled in a fight to the death, neither giving quarter, teeth bared and claws tearing. After dozens of exchanges, they had knocked down the surrounding trees.

Xuexue sheathed her dagger back into her boot and turned to Xiao Taohong, “While they’re fighting, let’s make a quick getaway. We’ve got a long journey ahead tomorrow!”

Xiao Taohong said incredulously, “Master, that’s not very loyal of you. He came to help you, and you’re just going to run away.”

“They’re fighting so fiercely, I can’t be of any help, can I? Staying here is a waste of time. Let’s go back and get some sleep; the ride tomorrow will be bumpy, and I won’t be able to sleep then.” Xuexue yawned as she spoke, truly turning around and walking away without looking back.

Xiao Taohong glanced up at the big tiger struggling against the lion, growing increasingly anxious.

“Master, I’m not afraid to tell you, that big tiger is Little Tiger transformed.” Xiao Taohong blurted out in desperation.

Indeed, if they really left, Little Tiger would surely be at a disadvantage against the ferocious lion.

“What did you say?” Xuexue turned around, wondering if she had misheard.

“I saw it all clearly from the sky just now. That big tiger transformed from Little Tiger.”

“How can that be!”

“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it either.” Xiao Taohong asserted confidently.

“Qi Miao!”

Xuexue shouted toward the fighting tiger.

“Meow!” At the sound of Xuexue’s voice, the fighting tiger suddenly let out a sound like a cat’s meow.

Only then did Xuexue believe Xiao Taohong’s words. The big tiger was indeed Qi Miao.

Xuexue pulled her dagger out from her boot again, ready to step in and drive off the lion, helping Little Tiger escape.

The lion, who was already more than a match for Little Tiger, began to lose ground with the addition of Xuexue. After a few cuts to its legs from Xuexue, the lion seized an opportunity to counterattack and then turned tail and fled.

Xuexue was quick to act, throwing her dagger and slicing fiercely into its fluffy tail, severing it completely.

“Aow!”

The lion howled in pain and didn’t dare look back as it ran off wounded.

At that moment, not far away, there was a buzz of human voices, and through the dense forest, one could faintly see the flickering of scattered torchlights.

Xuexue knew that Situ Yongjie must have heard the lion’s roar, gone out to patrol, and realizing she was outside, he had brought his subordinates with torches to look for her.
