41 Joy of a Harem
Was it because she treated his relapse of his old affliction? That is to say, Zhu ninth lord isn’t doing this to protect her, but instead wants her to protect him, treat his affliction at any time?
This conjecture was considerably more reasonable. Based on this person’s cold blooded nature, how could he want to protect her? Isn’t she being too naive?
Hmph! With a tiger accompanying her, she wasn’t afraid of staying in the tent as Zhu ninth lord. The one who should be afraid is him!
Thus, when she led the tiger into the tent, Zhu ninth lord’s brows furrowed. Her lips curled upwards smugly, “Ninth lord is afraid of the tiger? If you’re afraid, I don’t mind changing tents.”
Zhu You Hong’s gaze landed on Young Commander Linghu’s blooming smile, he became distracted for a moment by the smug coquettish heroic bearing in between her brows. Alluring phoenix eyes narrowed, “To fear, it is the tiger who should fear benwang. Just a tiger, benwang doesn’t register in benwang’s eyes.”
Hmph! Just a tiger he doesn’t register in his eyes? That is true, with ninth lord’s martial arts, this tiger was only just a kitten. In any case, this tiger already ate the medicine she fed it, and is already obedient as a house cat.
“Come! You sit here!” Linghu Shui Yue teased the spotted tiger with interest, at the same time, gesturing to Yang Lan Zhi, “Miss Lan Zhi, it won’t bite. You can play with it, even pet it.” Though she was speaking with Miss Lan Zhi, Linghu Shui Yue’s gaze paused on Zhu ninth lord’s face. She was suspicious, this man had a young lady sleep in here, can he hold himself back? Would he…
She heard, the men here all had many wives at home, wives and concubines becoming a crowd. They didn’t even let go of the maids.
Yang Lan Zhi’s tone was joyous and worshipping as she said, “Really? Commander Linghu is formidable! I can really pet it?”
“En, you pet!”
Yang Lan Zhi reached out a slender white hand, gently stroking the tiger’s head but her eyes paused on Linghu Shui Yue’s face a little more than was appropriate. At this time, coincidentally, someone brought in dinner. Linghu Shui Yue had the person who brought dinner to bring some meat to the tiger to eat.
Zhu ninth lord once again became stony faced, “The provisions we brought isn’t used to feed tigers. Is Commander Linghu unable to get used to the life in the army that you need this commander to remind you?”
“This….just one meal, there’s no next time!” Commander Linghu used a ‘you’re so petty’ gaze to glare at Zhu ninth lord.
“Send this tiger away quickly, otherwise this commander can’t guarantee it won’t be slaughtered, tearing its tiger skin to make clothes, tiger meat to reward the army.”
“You dare? This tiger is mine, you’re not allowed to slaughter it! Tomorrow morning I’ll release it, okay! Didn’t you say you’re not afraid of it?”
Zhu You Hong disdained to debate with Commander Linghu, only simply said, “Eat!”
Eat, fine let’s eat! Is it necessary to wear a cold face? Can’t they eat happily? Even if it’s going to war, they haven’t approached the borderline, this man was really dull.
Because it was getting late, this was also in the wilds, once it was night, besides sleeping, it was sleeping. Very early, people have already set up the couch. On top was a layer of white fox fur. Though there wasn’t a bed, the white fur on the fox skin was too beautiful, thus made the spread very comfortable and luxurious.
However, this spread couldn’t be considered wide, only enough space for three people to sleep.
