Chapter 655 - Chapter 655 Chapter 655 Crying

Chapter 655: Chapter 655: Crying Chapter 655: Chapter 655: Crying This tiger was so intelligent that Situ Yongjie found himself at a loss for words and, with no other choice, reluctantly agreed.

The next day, before dawn, the group set out on their journey.

However, considering the ladies were still asleep in their carriages, Situ Yongjie specifically ordered to proceed at a slower pace.

It wasn’t until sunrise that Xuexue awoke. By then, they had already left the wild mountains and ridges behind and officially entered the territory of the Capital.

Nearing the steep mountains was a small town. When the troupe arrived there, Situ Yongjie ordered a halt to let everyone have a proper breakfast before continuing on their way.

Chuner had been looking for Little Tiger ever since she woke up, but to no avail. Overcome with tears, she ran to Xuexue for help.

“Sister, sister, Qi Miao is gone. What should we do?” In her distress, Chuner didn’t even glance around and plunged straight into Xuexue’s carriage.

Xuexue was just about to step down from the carriage and bumped right into her.

“You little girl, always so flurried and flustered. When will you ever be calm?”

With Little Tiger missing, Chuner was in a state of panic and blurted out, “Sister, it’s terrible. Qi Miao is missing. What if it got lost in the Deep Mountains and Ancient Forests?”

About the matter of Little Tiger, Xuexue didn’t know how to break it to Chuner. She herself was still confused about what had happened. How could Little Tiger have suddenly turned into a big tiger? Although she found it quite strange, the reality was undeniable.

“Chuner, don’t worry. Even if Qi Miao has gone astray, it will return eventually.”

“Will it?”

“It will.”

“But it’s so small, and it has nowhere to sleep, nor anyone to feed it meat. What if it gets hungry?” Chuner was deeply upset. Little Tiger had been her companion for the past month, and its sudden disappearance brought her immense sadness.

“Chuner, don’t be sad. We’re about to arrive at the Capital. Let’s get off and have breakfast before we continue our journey,” Xuexue said as she pulled Chuner’s hand and stepped down from the carriage, heading to a restaurant in the small town.

General Situ and his subordinates were already seated inside the restaurant, and had specially reserved a private room for Madam Xie and her daughters.

Chuner looked listless, her mood severely dampened by the disappearance of Little Tiger. Unable to eat her breakfast, she reluctantly sipped a little porridge under Madam Xie’s persuasion, then stopped eating altogether.

Xuexue, fully aware that the big tiger was actually Qi Miao, made a point to pack several roast chickens from the restaurant upon leaving, knowing Qi Miao’s fondness for them.

Chuner, dispirited, noticed Xuexue carrying so many roast chickens and felt even more sorrowful, “Sister, Qi Miao is gone, why are you buying so many roast chickens?”

“Qi Miao may be gone, but now we have another big tiger in our family. It likes roast chicken just as much as Qi Miao did. These roast chickens are all for it,” Xuexue said, shaking the chickens in her hand.

“Since when? How come I didn’t know about it?”

“Of course, you didn’t know. You little lazy cat, nothing can wake you once you’re asleep, not even thunder. It happened just last night.”

As they talked, they quickly made their way back to the carriage.

“Big tiger, come here, there’s roast chicken for you,” called Xuexue to the tiger, which had been lying next to the carriage. At her words, it stood up and walked towards them.

As Xuexue laid out the roast chickens in front of the tiger, she turned to Chuner and said, “Chuner, come and see, isn’t this big tiger adorable?”

Chuner’s lips quivered in a pout, indicating her reluctance, “What’s so good about a ferocious big tiger? Qi Miao was cuter.”
