Chapter 900: Chapter 900: Scared to Be More Courageous

"Ah! A rabbit."

Little Baby’s eyes shone brightly as his tiny arms and legs flailed excitedly, miming a pounce to catch the rabbit.

Xuexue, quick as lightning, reached out and grabbed him by the back of his clothes at the neck.

"Stinky woman, what are you doing? Let go of this Divine Beast at once." Little Baby struggled in Xuexue’s grip, his tiny arms and legs flailing helplessly; his little body was too small to escape from her palm.

"What do you think you’re doing?" Xuexue retorted.

"Little Master wants to catch a rabbit."

"Have you lost your mind? Look around you; do you even know where you are?"

"Who cares where this is, when the Little Master sets his eyes on something, he must have it."

"Are you telling me you’re still hungry?" Xuexue brought Little Baby in front of her and questioned him with a puzzled look in her eyes.

This tiger had just consumed enough for a dozen people, surely he couldn’t be hungry again so soon.

"I’m full, but I feel nauseated thanks to you, stinky woman. Put me down now, or else I’ll vomit all over you. Don’t say Little Master didn’t warn you."

Upon hearing this, Xuexue finally put him back on the tree trunk, not forgetting to remind him, "This is the Royal Villa, so don’t make any trouble, alright!"

"Little Master was just teasing you, you looked so nervous." Little Baby was too proud to admit his true intentions.

Xuexue didn’t expose him either.

Just at that moment, from a distance came a creaking sound, the noise of footsteps on the fallen leaves.

They exchanged glances and instantly fell silent in understanding.

From afar, several tall figures slowly approached; the one in the lead wore a fierce mask—it was the War Prince.

As they were about to reach the big tree where Xuexue was, Long Rui stopped and turned to speak to the several guards behind him: "You may all withdraw. I would like some solitude here."

Long Yi, appearing thoughtful, glanced up at the tree and respectfully responded with a bow, "Yes, Sir."

After speaking, he turned and led the other guards away.

Long Yi was a clever man; the Master had come to Suxin Garden today for Miss Situ. Now that Miss Situ had been found, it was natural for them, as subordinates, to discreetly make themselves scarce and not hinder their Master’s romantic pursuits.

As soon as their figures disappeared.

Long Rui stood still and said faintly, "Come down now."

Xuexue and Little Baby exchanged puzzled glances, thinking, are there others here too? How did they not notice?

After a moment of silence, Long Rui spoke again: "I’m talking to you! Aren’t you coming down? Or must I personally come and get you?"

Right when Xuexue was puzzled, Long Rui’s voice rang out again: "Miss Situ from the General’s Mansion climbing up a tree, it wouldn’t look good if word got out and people laughed about it."

Finally, Xuexue realized that the Ghost King had been referring to her all along.

So, without hiding any longer, she lifted her skirt and jumped down from the tree.

"Whoosh!" The sound of the wind whisked past her ears.

Instead of landing firmly on the ground, Xuexue felt herself on something soft. She steadied herself and looked straight into a pair of cold, masked eyes.

If she hadn’t frequently encountered ghosts and thus toughened up, this scene would have definitely scared her.

"War Prince, you dare to take advantage in broad daylight, such behavior is not befitting a gentleman," Xuexue commented coolly, looking into the fierce mask in front of her.

This despicable War Prince had the audacity to hold her in his embrace. As a reputable lady, her reputation would be ruined if they were seen.

"Are you suggesting...that it is permissible at night?" The War Prince’s arms held Xuexue, his magnetic voice tinged with amusement.

"Let’s see if the Prince has the ability," she responded. Xuexue had always been wary of the War Prince’s martial arts prowess in her previous life just by hearing his name.

But now, having been reborn, not only did she possess a special space but she also had the assistance of Xiao Taohong and the big tiger, which made her far less afraid of him.
