Chapter 752: Chapter 559: Very Sweet, Afraid of No One but Princess Jiuyou_3

He thought that the journey to find Shen Chuwei would be more interesting.

The next day, at the entrance of the General Residence.

The General’s wife looked at her daughter with reluctance, tears streaming down her cheeks just as they had when her daughter had insisted on entering the Imperial Palace.

Upon seeing his wife’s tears, General Xu scolded softly, "Why are you crying? It’s not like she won’t come back."

The General’s wife pouted, "Can’t I miss her?"

General Xu grunted in response.

Xun Qingqing saw her mother crying so sadly and consoled her, "Mother, don’t cry now, by the end of the year I’ll be marrying Axian and would eventually have to leave home."

The General’s wife cried even harder at her words, "You child, have you forgotten your mother now that you have a fiancé?"

Xun Qingqing took her mother’s arm and cooed, "How could I forget Mother?"

The General’s wife wiped away her tears, "Qingqing, you must remember to write to me, alright?"

Xun Qingqing smiled, "Mother, rest assured, I will write to let you know I am safe."

Jun Wuxian approached and now stood by Xun Qingqing’s side.

General Xu had always cherished his daughter, and after two incidents, he cherished her even more. His gaze fell upon his future son-in-law as he advised, "Qingqing has been pampered since childhood and hasn’t suffered hardships. On the road, my dear son-in-law, please take extra care of her."

Jun Wuxian said, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, rest assured, I will take good care of her."

The General’s wife, still dabbing her tears, said, "Then I will trouble you, my dear son-in-law."

Jun Wuxian replied, "Taking good care of her is my duty, mother-in-law need not worry."

General Xu had observed Jun Wuxian these past few days and saw that he was a very responsible man; otherwise, he wouldn’t have entrusted his daughter to him so easily.

"It’s getting late, you should set off now, the sooner you go, the sooner you’ll return."

Jun Wuxian and Xun Qingqing bid farewell to General Xu and his wife, boarded the horse carriage, and set off on the road to find Shen Chuwei.

Shen Chuwei was taking a nap when a loud noise suddenly came from outside the Bedchamber, startling her nearly off the bed.

She rubbed her bleary eyes and looked toward the window in confusion, only to see the fluffy face of a tiger-lion beast pressed against the glass, its eyes shifty like those of a child who had done something wrong.

Shen Chuwei thought of the loud noise from before and quickly got up from the bed.

When she stepped out of the Bedchamber, she saw the tiger-lion beast lying motionless on the ground, too guilty to even look at her.

"Meow," Xuetuan called out to Shen Chuwei.

Shen Chuwei looked at Xuetuan, which ran toward the rockery, and she followed curiously. Before she even got close, she saw that the top of the rockery was gone—

No wonder the noise had been so loud; it had woken her up.

She turned her head to look at the tiger-lion beast, which kept its huge head low, not even uttering a sound.

Xuetuan hopped around the beast twice, meowing as if to gloat.

Just then, Xuetuan had slipped into the rockery and when the tiger-lion beast tried to follow, it forgot about its massive body and plowed right in, knocking the top of the rockery flying off—

The tiger-lion beast, its fur trimmed by Shen Chuwei, had gotten smaller than before but was still quite large and strong.

Shen Chuwei wasn’t too concerned about the missing rockery top. Seeing the tiger-lion beast act like a guilty child, she couldn’t help but laugh.

Indeed, smart animals had a spirit about them, and they even knew when they did something wrong.

She patted the big head of the tiger-lion beast, "Alright, be more careful next time, don’t run. We need to be a little more elegant, understand?"

The beast lifted its head, its bell-like eyes shining, and stood excitedly.

Shen Chuwei changed her tone and said, "Okay, go put the rockery top back where it belongs."

The tiger-lion beast, eager to do a twirl, was told to restore the rockery top and immediately lowered its head.

"If you haven’t fixed it by the time I finish my Afternoon Tea, you’re not getting any dinner," Shen Chuwei huffed and turned to enter the Bedchamber.

Xuetuan skipped a few steps and huffed at the beast, then strutted back into the Bedchamber after Shen Chuwei.

Colorful feathers circled above the tiger-lion beast’s head and landed on the rockery, chirping happily, as if enjoying the show.

Although the tiger-lion beast was not happy with Colorful Feathers and Xuetuan laughing at it, it definitely had to complete the task assigned by Shen Chuwei.

It stepped forward with its strong limbs, looked at the rockery top, and pushed with its paw, accidentally crushing the flowers and plants to the side—

Colorful Feathers flapped its wings joyfully, chirping as if to say, clumsy, so clumsy...

The tiger-lion beast roared at Colorful Feathers, frightening it into flying into the Bedchamber.

Undisturbed, the beast then tried to find a way to relocate the rockery top.

After finishing her Afternoon Tea, Shen Chuwei came out from the Bedchamber to see the tiger-lion beast putting the rockery top back in place and stood dumbfounded.

The tiger-lion beast could actually stand up?

And it knew how to hold things?

Meanwhile, in the Northern Yu Wang Residence

Wu Tan’s eyes flickered with surprise, "You said Jiuyou is back? When did she return?"

"Hmm, she’s been in the palace for a couple of days. They say the tiger-lion beast recognized her as Princess Jiuyou, so it’s pretty much confirmed," Ye Yuchen was somewhat excited, and his eyes held expectation as he looked at Wu Tan.

Wu Tan instinctively thought of Shen Chuwei, whom Xiao Jinyan had said was found, but she hadn’t returned. Could it be because she went to the Imperial Palace?

Seeing Wu Tan’s expression, Ye Yuchen walked over with a curious face and asked, "She’s back, are you sure you don’t want to go back to the palace to have a look? And maybe take back what belongs to you?"
