Chapter 295 Xie Yuhe: You'd better be.
The next day.
Xie Xing was awakened by a series of breathing sounds. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a tiger's face right in front of her.
Startled, she immediately sat up from the straw mat.
The tiger cub was startled by her. It let out a low growl, thinking there was an enemy behind it. It turned around to look behind it, but there was nothing there.
The tiger cub could only turn its head in bewilderment, tilting its head and staring blankly at the human in front of it.
Xie Xing: "..."
After his brain was recharged, Xie Xing finally remembered what had happened yesterday.
She first checked the tiger tally that she had stolen yesterday, and only breathed a sigh of relief after finding that the tiger tally was still on her.
Xie Xing struggled to his feet. After a day, the injuries he had sustained the day before left him with sore and swollen muscles that he began to doubt whether his body was even his own.
She said to the tiger cub, "Thank you, you saved my life. From now on, we are even."
"Roar?"
The tiger cub tilted its head blankly and looked at Xie Xing.
It cannot understand human speech, so naturally it doesn't understand what these humans are babbling about.
Xie Xing didn't care whether it understood or not. She supported her thigh and limped out of the cave.
Seeing this, the tiger cub slowly followed behind Xie Xing.
After walking a distance, Xie Xing noticed that the tiger cub hadn't left yet. He turned around and looked at the tiger cub in astonishment: "You're not going to follow me, are you?"
The tiger cub remained silent, but took two steps closer to Xie Xing.
Xie Xing looked troubled.
She approached the tiger cub and reached out to touch its face.
The tiger cub stared quietly at Xie Xing with its light brown eyes. It did not reject Xie Xing's actions, but instead affectionately nuzzled Xie Xing's hand and made a contented gurgling sound in its throat.
It’s over.
This clearly indicates a desire to acknowledge God.
Xie Xing had no way to guarantee the tiger cub's safety. She couldn't even guarantee her own safety, let alone the tiger cub's.
"Don't follow me. I only bandaged your wound. I'm not worthy of your veneration."
"Go back, it's safer there."
Although the tiger cub didn't understand what Xie Xing was saying, it did understand the gestures Xie Xing was making to make it move.
It grunted and insisted on staying by Xie Xing's side.
Xie Xing: No, it's really not worth following.
You'll die if you follow her.
The system said: "This tiger and you are destined to be together. Since it wants to stay by your side, then let it follow."
This tiger is young, yet it can kill an adult wolf in an instant. Its skill is undeniable. If you're afraid it will die, you'll definitely die before it.
That's what it says.
But for animals, the danger is not their own kind or natural enemies, but humans.
Some humans might show mercy to their own kind, but not to animals.
Xie Xing had his own worries.
She had no ability to save the tiger's life; on the contrary, she was likely to be exploited by someone with ulterior motives who would use the tiger to control her.
Tiger cubs are powerful, but they can also become her weakness.
Xie Xing is just an ordinary person. He would feel heartbroken if he saw cats and dogs injured, let alone when he saved her tiger cub in such a critical situation.
The system paused for a moment, then said: "Since you can't get rid of it now, you might as well let it stay with you. Later, you can entrust it to someone you believe is capable of protecting it."
Xie Xing glanced at the tiger cub.
The tiger cub snorted but refused to leave.
Xie Xing had no choice but to let the tiger cub follow along.
She stroked the tiger cub's fur from behind and said helplessly, "You're so young, yet you can kill a wolf in an instant. You'll definitely be the king of the jungle when you grow up."
"The fact that you've remembered a favor for so long shows that you're a very humane person."
"Let me give you a name."
The tiger cub looked at Xie Xing intently.
Xie Xing pondered for a moment, then said, "My name contains the character for 'star,' so you can be called Moon."
"There may be stars but not necessarily a moon, and there may be a moon but not necessarily stars, but the most beautiful time is when the full moon is high in the sky and the stars are twinkling."
"Your name will be Moon."
The tiger cub snorted.
I don't know if I understood.
Xie Xing patted the tiger cub on the back and said in a strong voice, "Moon."
"Roar!" The tiger cub actually responded.
Xie Xing looked at it, her almond-shaped eyes crinkling, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
"Let's go, moon."
Xie Xing planned to find a way out.
……
the other side.
After the emperor approved Luo Hanfeng's proposal, Xie Tongchen, who was still in prison, was released.
"By imperial decree, the disgraced official Xie Tongchen is appointed as deputy general, leading troops to follow Commander-in-Chief Luo Hanfeng southward to recapture the city!"
In prison, when the eunuch issued the imperial edict, both Xie Ansheng and Xie Yuhe were shocked.
Xie Ansheng walked to the prison door, gripped the doorknob with both hands, looked at the eunuch, and asked, "Has His Majesty said anything about the rest of the Xie family?"
The eunuch slowly withdrew the imperial edict. Upon hearing Xie Ansheng's words, he glanced at them contemptuously, then covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief in disgust and said in a treacherous voice, "His Majesty only said that the sinful subject Xie Tongchen followed the Seventh Prince to seize the city, but he didn't say anything about the rest of your Xie family."
"You guys should just stay in prison quietly."
"If His Majesty needs your services, he will naturally summon you."
"That's fine, Xie Tongchen, come with us."
Xie Tongchen sat in a corner of the cell.
His mind had been in turmoil these past few days, filled with thoughts of Xie Mingzhu. Upon hearing the imperial edict, Xie Tongchen raised his head.
With a cold expression, he stood up and walked step by step toward the eunuch.
As a general who had fought on the battlefield, he had a bloodthirsty aura about him. Just by getting close to the eunuch, the eunuch turned pale with fright and took two steps back.
Xie Tongchen coldly replied, "Your subject thanks Your Majesty for your great favor."
"We will definitely help His Highness the Seventh Prince reclaim the city."
Xie Tongchen spoke with great vigor, and after finishing, he took the imperial edict from the eunuch's hand and walked outside.
"Tongchen, wait a minute." Xie Yuhe suddenly called out to Xie Tongchen.
His expression was serious as he pulled Xie Tongchen back into the cell and whispered a few words in a corner: "If you encounter Xie Mingzhu on the battlefield, do not be deceived or misled by her."
"You should always put your own life first, do you understand?"
After all, Xie Tongchen died on the battlefield in the story, and it was in the presence of the Seventh Prince.
Xie Yuhe was worried that Xie Tongchen would behave like the character in the story.
Xie Tongchen sneered and said, "I will naturally find Mingzhu and ask her the truth. Don't worry, I won't die."
"If the Xie family isn't exonerated, how could I possibly die?"
Xie Yuhe, however, was not at ease.
He looked at Xie Tongchen with worry. Given his past experience of losing his mind whenever he was around Xie Mingzhu, Xie Tongchen…
He might not be so sure.
Helpless, Xie Yuhe sighed, "You'd better be."
"If you ever have the chance to meet Xing'er, go and see her."
