As soon as Zhu Xiuxiu spoke, Old Madam Ji and the other Ji family mbers all looked at her.
"Third Sister-in-law, why do I feel even more creeped out after hearing what you said?"
Ji Youzhi’s scalp tingled, his eyes wide as he watched the fierce-eyed white tiger casually stroll up to the gate of their Courtyard, howling continuously.
"With it howling like this, it’ll be hard for Xiaosuisui not to co out!"
Ji Youze’s brow furrowed, his expression deeply concerned.
"Third Brother, Seventh Brother, be prepared. If Xiaosuisui does co out, you must ensure her safety and prevent this tiger from hurting her."
Hearing Ji Youze’s words, Old Madam Ji grew even more worried for her little darling.
Indeed, as soon as she finished speaking, the Martial Monks guarding the gate all shouted in unison, raising their staffs, ready to strike.
"AWOO-AWOO!" howled the fierce-eyed white tiger, its front paw ceaselessly digging at the ground.
Everyone watched, their mouths twitching. Is this a tiger? It’s nothing like we imagined!
With a shout of "HA!" one of the Martial Monks made the first move.
With a loud "AWOO!" the fierce-eyed white tiger leaped up and swiped at the Martial Monk, tearing a large chunk of flesh from his arm.
In an instant, everyone’s faces turned pale. Those who had initially thought the tiger harmless began to scream and desperately look for places to hide.
The scent of blood excited the great tiger, and the Martial Monks grew more alert, moving into their positions.
"Eighteen Arhats Array!"
The Supervising Monk shouted. All the Martial Monks gathered, each raising their staff and thrusting it downwards. Though the combined force of the eighteen Arhats’ staffs couldn’t defeat the tiger in one move, restraining it wasn’t too difficult.
The tiger roared, each cry louder than the last. It leaped and bounded agilely, attempting to break through the gate of the Courtyard where Xiaosuisui lived.
"Stop that beast!"
The Supervising Monk paled. "The Princess is in there! If she gets frightened... none of you could bear the consequences!"
At the Supervising Monk’s words, the expressions on all the Martial Monks’ faces beca grave.
The Abbot was even more puzzled. Isn’t that Courtyard the residence of our benefactor’s family? How did it suddenly beco the Princess’s residence?
"HA! Kill!"
Hearing that the Princess was inside, the Martial Monks, fearing the tiger might breach the Courtyard and harm her, steeled their resolve. They would have to break their precept against killing today.
Between breaking the precept against taking life and allowing the Princess to be frightened, they chose the forr.
All land under heaven belongs to the sovereign. The sovereign’s wrath was sothing Qixia Temple could not bear!
The fierce-eyed white tiger leaped and charged at the Courtyard, swatting several Martial Monks away. However, the nurous Martial Monks and their ever-changing Eighteen Arhats Array formation continued to repulse it.
The white tiger, failing to break through after several attempts, suddenly changed its strategy. It locked its gaze on the Courtyard wall, which was about half a head taller than a man.
The tiger’s eyes fixated on that wall, and so did Xiaosuisui’s. She had heard the commotion outside and had co out of her room to the Courtyard entrance, only to find the gate locked from the outside. Unable to open it, she glanced at the Courtyard wall before her and, with a single leap, jumped onto it.
However, just as she landed on the wall, a black-and-white, fierce-eyed white tiger also leaped from the outside. Their target was the sa. For a mont, human and tiger found themselves eye to eye!
