Chapter 27 The Tiger Descends the Mountain

Chapter 27 The Tiger Descends the Mountain

In the garden, all the flowers have withered and fallen, with only a few evergreen shrubs still showing signs of green.

Tang Wan did not notice the bleakness of her surroundings.

In her eyes, this place is about to become the stage for her to rise to prominence and become a phoenix.

"Mother, what do you think of this place?"

Tang Wan walked to a corner next to an artificial hill.

This is the only way to the training ground; the Regent will see her at a glance whenever he passes by.

She deliberately chose a spot backlit, and stretched out her slender hand to support a withered plum blossom.

She then turned slightly to the side, spreading out the hem of her pomegranate-red brocade dress, striking what she considered to be the most elegant and charming "Beauty Leaning on Plum Blossom" pose.

She practiced in front of the mirror at home for three whole days to prepare for this moment.

"Excellent, excellent!" Madam Wang nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of praise. "My Wan'er has the natural air of a noblewoman. This red dress makes you look radiant; even the empresses in the palace are no better than you."

Tang Wan smiled shyly, raised her hand to touch the gold hairpin in her hair, her heart filled with longing.

She had already pictured it in her mind:

The legendary regent, rumored to be as handsome as a god, has returned from his sword practice.

Upon seeing the beautiful woman in red waiting alone among the flowers (though there were no flowers), one would surely be captivated and stop in their tracks, falling head over heels for her and discarding that lowly illegitimate girl like trash...

However.

Just as Tang Wan was immersed in the beautiful dream of "the Regent falling in love with me", with that perfect smile she had practiced still on her lips.

A gust of wind suddenly stopped.

The birds that were chirping on the branches seemed to sense something terrifying, and instantly fell silent, flapping their wings and fleeing in panic.

A strong, primal, and wild stench, mixed with the nauseating scent of lilies emanating from Tang Wan, fermented eerily in the air.

"roar--!!!"

A deafening roar, powerful enough to subdue all beasts, suddenly erupted behind Tang Wan without warning!

The sound was so loud, carrying a substantial sonic impact, that it caused the rubble on the artificial hill to tumble down.

Tang Wan's smile froze instantly, even cracking.

She turned her head mechanically, little by little.

Less than three zhang away from her, the grass blades that had been lying still were suddenly jolted open.

A massive tiger, as large as a small mountain, with taut muscles and a white forehead and piercing eyes, was staring intently at her.

No.

To be precise, it was staring at the fiery red patch on her body.

In a tiger's black-and-white vision, highly saturated red is an extremely strong stimulating signal.

That was the color of blood, the color of the torch that had once harmed it, and even more so—

The two-legged pet owner just told me: if we don't tear it up, there won't be any color for dinner!

Wow! What a huge red envelope!

[It stinks! The perfume is too strong! I'm suffocating!]

Shred it! For fresh beef!

Big White's pupils instantly narrowed to pinpoints, and a thunderous growl escaped its throat.

"ah……"

Tang Wan's eyes widened, her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and she could only make short, breathy sounds.

Her legs felt like they were made of lead; she wanted to run, but she couldn't move at all.

This is... what Tangli was talking about... Da Bai?

This is hardly a domesticated pet!

This is clearly a man-eating beast that has just been released from the deep mountains and forests!

"roar!"

Big White didn't give her any time to react.

It pushed off the ground with its hind legs, and its huge body soared into the air like a white lightning bolt, carrying the momentum to destroy everything, and pounced towards that dazzling red!

The wind howled, and a foul stench filled the air.

"don't want--!!!"

Tang Wan finally let out an extremely shrill scream.

"Bang!"

The immense impact knocked her to the ground.

The tiger, weighing hundreds of pounds, pressed its two thick, fan-like front paws hard against Tang Wan's delicate chest.

"puff--"

Tang Wan felt like her sternum was about to break, she almost couldn't catch her breath, and her eyes rolled back as she was about to faint.

But Big White didn't make her faint.

It lowered its head, its gaping maw less than three inches from Tang Wan's exquisitely made-up face.

Hot, foul-smelling breath sprayed onto her face, and sharp fangs gleamed coldly.

Tang Wan could even see the bits of meat left between the tiger's teeth.

It's over.

I'm going to die.

I'm going to be eaten!

However, the big white dog did not bite her neck (after all, its owner had not allowed it to kill anyone, and the woman was too smelly to bite).

It set its sights on that outfit.

[Damn red! I hate it! I hate it!]

[Tear! Tear!]

Big White opened its mouth wide and bit down on the brocade fabric on Tang Wan's shoulder, then suddenly shook its head!

"Sizzle—"

The priceless brocade was as fragile as a piece of waste paper under the tiger's teeth.

The exquisitely embroidered peony sleeve was torn off at the root in an instant!

Next comes the thighs, the hem of the skirt, and the waist belt.

"Ah! My clothes! Help! Help!"

Tang Wan struggled frantically on the ground, waving her hands wildly. Her fingernails scratched the tiger's fur, but it was like tickling her.

She could only watch helplessly as her prized "battle robe" was reduced to tattered shreds by that beast's claws, flying everywhere.

The red strips of cloth mixed with cotton fluff looked like an absurd red rain.

"Mother, save me! Save me!"

In despair, Tang Wan reached out her hand to Wang Shi, who was standing to the side.

At this moment, Wang was already stunned by this sudden change.

In the garden, only Tang Wan's heart-wrenching screams and the tiger's excited roars remained.

[Tear, tear, tear! So relaxing!]

[This fabric feels nice, much better than those smelly boots from that old man last time!]

While playing, Da Bai slapped Tang Wan's neatly combed hair into a mess, sending her golden hairpin flying and leaving her looking like a madwoman.
