Chapter 665: Shan Bao with a Temper
He had been feeding Shan Bao for over a year and had tried to play around with him, but Shan Bao didn’t give him any face at all. If he hadn’t run away quickly, he would have ended up feeding Shan Bao one of his arms.
This tiger had quite a temper.
Among the three of them, Chu Yihan was the most composed.
He knew very well that the night Su Yingxue managed to get past Shan Bao and reach his study, she had already gained Shan Bao’s approval.
But he found her jealousy towards Hong Lian because of him… quite beautiful.
Chu Yihan gazed at Su Yingxue’s retreating figure, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled upwards.
Tiger Mountain was steep and treacherous, with plenty of sand and gravel making the path difficult to navigate. And Shan Bao was nowhere to be found.
It was waiting for its dinner, its white belly already turned upwards.
“Shan Bao!”
“Shan Bao?”
Hmm? Someone was calling it!
Su Yingxue and Hong Lian called out from opposite sides of Tiger Mountain. Su Yingxue observed the claw marks on the ground and speculated that Shan Bao was waiting in a nearby cave, so she tossed a piece of meat onto the ground.
Shan Bao emerged at the scent of meat. When it saw Su Yingxue, its tiger face drooped.
This woman again.
“Shan Bao, come and eat!”
Su Yingxue waved at Shan Bao in a friendly manner.
Shan Bao scraped the ground with its left paw.
It wasn’t too keen to approach, but the meat smelled very enticing.
“Ha! Su Yingxue, what do you think Shan Bao is? He’s the king of beasts, a white tiger rarely seen in a hundred years. Even Your Highness had a hard time bringing him back when he first encountered him. But you’re feeding him like this. What do you take him for?”
Hong Lian sneered behind Su Yingxue, her eyes filled with contempt.
Su Yingxue found it amusing. “Then how should I feed him? Should I feed myself to him?”
“Of course, we should show him respect!”
Hong Lian had tamed many wild beasts, including lions and tigers. She had also fed Shan Bao before.
Confidently, she approached Shan Bao, squatted down, mumbled something, and then reached out to stroke Shan Bao’s head.
As her hand gently touched Shan Bao’s head, she turned back to Su Yingxue, smirking. “See that? Shan Bao understands human nature! He chooses who it allows to get close to it. You…”
“You’d better be careful!”
Just as Su Yingxue finished speaking, Shan Bao suddenly opened its mouth and roared at Hong Lian.
If Hong Lian hadn’t reacted quickly with her lightness skill, her hand would have been in Shan Bao’s mouth by now.
Hong Lian was greatly surprised. “How… how could this happen?”
This was how she usually tamed tigers. Why was Shan Bao angry at her today?
“Look, it seems like you want to feed Shan Bao with your body, Pavilion Master. But Shan Bao isn’t just any tiger. The meat is rough, and he won’t eat it.” Su Yingxue mercilessly mocked.
She pointed at the piece of meat on the ground and winked at Shan Bao. “Shan Bao, eat this. It’s especially for you.”
Shan Bao didn’t move. Its wide tiger eyes kept darting back and forth between Su Yingxue and Hong Lian.
Hong Lian rubbed her hands. “I told you that you couldn’t tame Shan Bao, but you still don’t believe me? Even though it doesn’t listen to me, do you think it listens to you?”
Su Yingxue propped up her chin, ignoring Hong Lian’s words. She felt that Shan Bao wasn’t unwilling to eat, but rather, it was thinking.
After a moment, Shan Bao licked its paws, bypassed Hong Lian’s meat bucket, walked up to Su Yingxue, and took the piece of meat she had placed on the ground into its mouth.
Su Yingxue watched Shan Bao eat the meat and smiled. “Such a good tiger!”
