The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Chapter 132 Returning to Beijing

There was still glistening drool at the corner of his mouth! It was as if you could smell an enticing aroma.

The white tiger could not resist the temptation any longer and could no longer suppress its impulse, so it leaped out of the bushes.

Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen were not surprised to see the white tiger, as if they were already used to its appearance.

However, Tiger was startled, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He had fought the white tiger for seven consecutive days, and each time he could only barely escape its jaws, leaving a deep shadow in his heart.

"Oh my god, how did the big tiger get here!" Tiger shouted in a panic, and the fish in his hand suddenly lost its deliciousness.

"Tiger, don't be so nervous..." Dongfang Wan'er gently patted Tiger's shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

The white tiger didn't take the tiger cub seriously at all, its eyes fixed on the pile of grilled fish in front of Dongfang Wan'er, its mouth watering uncontrollably.

"Want to eat...?" Dongfang Wan'er picked up a grilled fish and deliberately waved it in front of Baihu.

The white tiger immediately became excited, rubbing its head against Dongfang Wan'er repeatedly, showing an extremely eager expression.

"Here you go, but you can't run around anymore, or you won't get any more food..." Dongfang Wan'er gently stroked the white tiger's head.

The white tiger nodded obediently, enjoying Dongfang Wan'er's caresses, its mouth constantly chewing on the grilled fish.

"Dark Night, throw all the grilled fish over here..." Ye Jiuchen shook his head helplessly, a doting smile on his face.

"Yes, Master, everything is ready..." Dark Night threw all the grilled fish in front of White Tiger.

Tiger: "So, you grilled so many fish because you knew White Tiger would come back?" As he spoke, he hummed a song: "Who can a wounded heart love..."

After Dongfang Wan'er had eaten and drunk her fill, she patted the white tiger's head and said, "From now on, I'll call you Xiaobai. Xiaobai, be a good boy and guard it well. I'll make you something delicious again tomorrow..." Then she got into the carriage to rest.

Qiuqin looked at the white tiger and exclaimed, "Miss, you were truly a prophet! Little White really did come back..."

After finishing the fish, the white tiger obediently lay down beside the carriage. It used to be always hungry, and now, after finally eating for so many days, it was actually feeling a little uneasy. This white tiger's life was truly pitiful!

"Everything is under control..." Dongfang Wan'er finished speaking and yawned...

"Ah... I'm going to sleep, Qiuqin..." Dongfang Wan'er's eyelids were drooping so much she couldn't stay awake any longer... and she fell asleep immediately...

At night, besides Dongfang Wan'er, Qiuqin, and Xiaobai who were asleep, Ye Jiuchen kept his eyes closed, but in reality, he could sense even the slightest movement...

Dark Night and the Dark Guard patrolled everywhere, taking turns keeping watch...

Tiger kept his eyes open and kept watch... Wild animals might roam tonight...

The first half of the night passed peacefully, but in the second half, Tiger couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep...

Just then, several green eyes appeared deep in the forest, watching them...

"Ouch..."

"Ouch..."

The howls of wolves echoed out...

Ye Jiuchen opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the carriage...

"Protect the Princess..."

Deep in the forest, several green eyes drew ever closer, accompanied by the howls of wolves.

Ye Jiuchen's eyes turned cold, and he ordered in a low voice, "Prepare for battle!"

The guards quickly went into battle alert, drew their swords, and vigilantly watched their surroundings.

The wolf pack gradually approached, revealing sharp fangs and emitting low growls.

Ye Jiuchen flashed and instantly appeared in front of the wolf pack. He swung his long sword, and the sword energy was like a rainbow, directly approaching the wolf pack.

Sensing Ye Jiuchen's powerful aura, the wolf pack retreated, but remained unwilling to leave.

Ye Jiuchen frowned slightly. These wolves seemed to be driven by some kind of force, making them exceptionally ferocious.

Suddenly, a huge wolf king charged out from the pack. It was enormous, with glossy fur and a fierce glint in its eyes.

Ye Jiuchen sneered and engaged in a fierce battle with the Wolf King.

The wolf king was extremely fast, and its sharp claws pounced towards Ye Jiuchen.

Ye Jiuchen dodged to the side and stabbed the wolf king in the back with his sword.

The wolf king, in pain, roared and attacked Ye Jiuchen even more frantically.

Ye Jiuchen remained calm and used all his skills to deal with the Wolf King.

The other guards engaged in a fierce battle with the remaining wolves, creating a chaotic scene.

After a fierce battle, Ye Jiuchen finally found the wolf king's weakness and pierced its throat with a sword.

Tiger woke up instantly upon hearing the wolf's howl.

"Wolves!" he shouted in panic.

"Yes, just protect yourself," Dark Night replied calmly, gripping his sword tightly.

"Roar..." The white tiger let out a low roar towards the direction of the wolves, and the wolf pack quickly left after hearing the sound.

"I didn't expect Little White to be useful after all..." Dongfang Wan'er was also awakened by the wolf howls. She originally thought she would face a fierce battle, but it seems that it is not so serious now.

"Roar roar roar..." Little White continued to lie by the carriage, closed its eyes and began to sleep.

"Is that all?" Tiger asked in confusion.

"Rest now, we'll set off at daybreak," Ye Jiuchen instructed.

After a long month-long journey, the group finally returned to the capital.

"I'm finally back." Dongfang Wan'er looked at the familiar scene before her, her heart filled with emotion. At the same time, she couldn't help but worry about whether her mother was alright.

"Ye Jiuchen, is it alright if we just come back like this? Aren't you already dead?" Dongfang Wan'er pondered whether she needed to devise a detailed plan to deal with possible scenarios.

"No need, this is a perfect surprise for my royal brother." Ye Jiuchen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile.

"Then take me back to the house in the west first..." Dongfang Wan'er thought that her mother definitely wouldn't go back to the Marquis's mansion, but would probably return to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. She decided to go back that night, after all, she had been gone for several months...

"Alright, I'll have someone take you there!" Ye Jiuchen agreed. He instructed a guard to drive Dongfang Wan'er to the residence on the west side.

The carriage traveled on and soon arrived at its destination. However, to their surprise, they found that the western house was heavily guarded.

"Who goes there?" The guards immediately became alert when they saw the carriage approaching, and they all drew their longswords.

Immediately afterwards, all the guards surrounded Ye Jiuchen's carriage and pointed their longswords at it.

"I have never heard of anyone being threatened when returning to their own residence. Do they really think I am someone to be trifled with?" Ye Jiuchen said angrily. After he finished speaking, he flashed out of the carriage and slashed his sword, directly cutting the neck of the leading guard.
