Chapter 126 Tiger, the Mongolian Prince of the Previous Life
"Is that big tiger outside yours? I like it, here you go!" Tiger Lord casually tossed out a copper coin and then gestured to his henchman to take the money over.
"Here, one coin. Our Tiger Lord will buy the big tiger..." The henchman walked over smugly, his face full of contempt and arrogance. However, at that moment, Dark Night suddenly drew his sword and slashed at the henchman's arm without hesitation.
"Ah...it hurts!..." The underling screamed as his severed arm fell to the ground, splattering blood everywhere.
"Don't look!..." Upon seeing this, Ye Jiuchen quickly stepped forward to block Dongfang Wan'er's view.
Dongfang Wan'er: It's just a small scene, what's the point of stopping me? I'm not a child, I won't be scared. But since he's so worried about me, then forget it, I'll listen to him and not go see it.
"How dare you lay a hand on my turf and injure my men? Are you tired of living?" Tiger was furious, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
"Sirs, sirs, please apologize to Tiger and admit your mistake..." the waiter said nervously, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. He wiped the sweat from his brow as he pleaded with Dark Night and the others.
"Yes, yes. My little shop can't withstand any more trouble..." The shopkeeper was also very nervous, his voice trembling slightly. He wiped his hands while looking at An Ye and the others, his eyes full of pleading.
"Tiger Lord...never heard of him..." Dark Night said expressionlessly, his tone icy, glancing directly towards the door!
In an instant, more than a dozen guards appeared in the shop like ghosts. Dressed in black and wielding long swords, they rushed into the shop and surrounded Tiger.
Upon seeing this, Tiger's face instantly turned deathly pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He knew he had messed with the wrong people, and the aura emanating from these guards filled him with fear.
"Oh dear, sirs, I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. I've offended you all. I, Tiger, will leave now..." Tiger hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, his attitude sincere, but his heart was filled with resentment and anger.
Tiger? Dongfang Wan'er hadn't paid much attention to the name before, but when she heard it, her heart skipped a beat, as if she remembered something.
So this was the fierce general beside Ye Jiuchen—General Huzi. In her previous life, she didn't know when Ye Jiuchen had taken this general under his wing. But now, she finally understood the reason.
General Hu Zi was actually a Mongol prince, and he had a special relationship with Ye Jiuchen. Because of this, Mongolia sent many excellent warhorses to the Celestial Empire, which became one of the important resources of the Celestial Empire's army.
"Wait..." Just then, Dongfang Wan'er suddenly stood up. Her voice was clear and firm, breaking the tense atmosphere in the store.
"This... young lady, please be magnanimous and spare me..." Tiger was flexible and resourceful, thinking to himself that once he left this place, he would immediately go and get reinforcements to deal with them!
"I bet your leaving was just an excuse, you really just wanted to go back and call for help..." Dongfang Wan'er saw right through Hu Zi's thoughts; she wasn't so easily fooled.
"No, absolutely not..." Tiger said, but his eyes flickered, clearly feeling guilty.
"Since that's the case, Dark Night, just kill him..." Seeing that Dongfang Wan'er seemed to have some interest in this man named Hu Zi, Ye Jiuchen felt a surge of displeasure.
He would not allow anyone to threaten Dongfang Wan'er's safety, not even the slightest possibility. Therefore, he ordered An Ye to take action without hesitation.
"Yes..." Upon hearing this, Dark Night immediately drew his sword and rushed towards Tiger.
"Hey, good man, spare my life! Why did you attack me so suddenly? I'd rather not have your big tiger, but did you have to kill me like this..." Tiger cried out, frantically dodging Dark Night's attacks.
However, Dark Night remained unmoved and continued to pursue relentlessly. Although Tiger was agile, Dark Night was also a master, and he found it difficult to escape for the time being.
"Interesting..." Ye Jiuchen's eyes flashed with surprise and excitement upon seeing this. He hadn't expected that this seemingly ordinary Tiger Boy would actually have some skill, managing to hold out for so long under the pursuit of the Dark Night.
"Dark Night, step back..." Ye Jiuchen suddenly ordered.
Upon hearing the order, An Ye immediately stopped and retreated to the side. Ye Jiu Chen then flew forward to take over from An Ye and engage Hu Zi in a fierce battle.
In a flash, Ye Jiuchen appeared in front of Hu Zi. The long sword in his hand gleamed coldly as he attacked Hu Zi with a fierce aura.
Tiger was startled when he saw this, but he was also a veteran of many battles and quickly reacted, brandishing his broadsword to meet the enemy.
The two exchanged blows, their swords flashing and flashing, neither able to gain the upper hand for a time. However, Ye Jiuchen was ultimately stronger, and after a few rounds, Hu Zi gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
In no time, Hu Zi was kicked away by Ye Jiuchen. He crashed heavily to the ground, clutching his chest, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth.
"Ouch...ouch ouch, my butt...please spare me, sir..." Tiger knew he'd landed a secure job, and didn't dare to have any crooked thoughts...
Ye Jiuchen didn't care about anything else; he drew his sword, ready to kill Hu Zi...
Seeing that Ye Jiuchen was truly determined to kill, Dongfang Wan'er couldn't help but feel puzzled: Strange, how did Ye Jiuchen manage to take him in in the previous life, but now he's going to kill him...?
"Husband, don't kill him yet..." Dongfang Wan'er cried out hurriedly. She knew Ye Jiuchen's temper well; if they didn't stop him in time, Hu Zi's life would be in danger.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jiuchen frowned slightly, but still listened to Dongfang Wan'er and stopped his sword in front of Hu Zi's neck.
"Since Wan'er has pleaded for you, I will spare your life. But if there is a next time, I will not let you off easily!" Ye Jiuchen said coldly.
Tiger nodded repeatedly, expressing his deepest gratitude. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thankful that he had escaped with his life.
Ye Jiuchen turned and walked to Dongfang Wan'er's side, asking with concern, "Wan'er, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Dongfang Wan'er: Big brother, what kind of injury could I possibly suffer? But I still sway...
Tiger nodded repeatedly in agreement, secretly rejoicing that he had escaped a disaster.
"Thank you so much for sparing my life, thank you so much..." Tiger's face was as pale as paper, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude.
He secretly rejoiced that he had escaped with his life, but at the same time he was filled with awe and fear towards the mysterious woman in front of him.
Dongfang Wan'er nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with Hu Zi's performance.
A faint smile appeared on her lips.
However, just when Tiger thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief and was about to leave, Dongfang Wan'er suddenly spoke again: "Wait..." Her voice was clear and melodious, yet carried an undeniable authority.
