Chapter 118: Chapter 118

But this time, all of these things appeared.

It was really too strange, making one suspect that someone had tampered with the autumn hunt.

Upon hearing Xiao Quanzi’s words, Feng Qiwu responded in a deep voice, "Someone deliberately released some large prey inside, but that tiger is full of wildness, not like it was domesticated; it should be a wild tiger that somehow came over here."

You can easily differentiate between captured prey released inside and those naturally living in the wild.

Whether it’s the tiger or the bear, I later observed them and found no traces of domestication or being transported here.

So they most likely came here on their own.

Xiao Quanzi listened to Feng Qiwu and his expression shifted slightly, "After all, Red Leaf Mountain is just an ordinary mountain, how could such fierce beasts appear?"

But then he remembered the environmental changes Feng Qiwu asked him to investigate.

He quickly responded, "Could it be related to recent environmental changes?"

Feng Qiwu gave him a faint look, "Not too dumb."

"Our world should be undergoing some mysterious changes, and the appearance of these animals is likely a sign," Feng Qiwu said solemnly.

Xiao Quanzi was momentarily taken aback, and his expression became serious.

"Does the Crown Prince think these changes are good or bad for us? Why does it make me feel uneasy?" Xiao Quanzi couldn’t help but ask.

Feng Qiwu cast him a glance, "Why panic? If defenses come with soldiers, if water comes bury it with soil; this change affects everyone, not just you alone."

"What the Crown Prince said is absolutely right, with your words I am relieved." Xiao Quanzi quickly said with a breath of relief.

"Hmph! Flatterer." Feng Qiwu snorted coldly.

Then he asked, "Speak about what happened to the Cai Family then."

These words made Xiao Quanzi freeze, and he quickly asked, "Crown Prince, you’ve just returned, how did you know about the Cai family’s scandal?"

Feng Qiwu gave him a look without saying anything.

Xiao Quanzi felt a chill and somewhat understood. Content originally comes from N0v3l.Fiɾe.net

This matter must be related to the Crown Prince.

At once, Xiao Quanzi hastily recounted the affair of the Cai family father and daughter.

After listening, Feng Qiwu said calmly, "The Tian Family is truly resolute and ruthless."

Clearly, Guang Tianyuan alone couldn’t have plotted against the old fox Cai Yang in such a short time.

There must have been intervention from Zhongyi Marquis.

But this is fine, it spares the dirtying of his own hands.

Bai Susu naturally also was the first to hear of the Cai family’s scandal.

Because the scandal was so similar to the past incident Feng Qiwu had mentioned about an innocent girl being framed by Cai Yanyan, she couldn’t help but suspect it was Feng Qiwu’s doing.

But even if Feng Qiwu did it, she wouldn’t think of him as cruel.

After all, he did it for her.

If she enjoyed the benefits and protection brought by Feng Qiwu yet despised his underhanded methods, that would be hypocritical.

Now her only concern is Feng Qiwu’s safety.

If another assassin wants to kill him, what should she do?

Thus Bai Susu sat anxiously in her room while instructing Chuntao and Nuansha to constantly inquire whether Feng Qiwu had returned.

"Miss, the Crown Prince has returned! They say he even hunted a tiger!" Spring Peach exclaimed as she opened the tent flap excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Bai Susu immediately jumped up.

"He wasn’t hurt, was he?" Bai Susu asked, filled with fear.

That’s a large fierce beast!

Feng Qiwu is too bold, daring to face a tiger alone.

Does he really think he’s made of steel and can withstand anything?

"Don’t worry, Miss. The Crown Prince is perfectly fine! They say he took the Death Exemption Token already." Spring Peach quickly added.

Bai Susu let out a long breath of relief at this.

"That’s good, that’s good."

As long as he’s safe and sound.

Still, she felt more reassured going to see for herself.

But just as Bai Susu was preparing to go find Feng Qiwu, Feng Qiwu came over.

Seeing Feng Qiwu enter, Bai Susu’s eyes lit up immediately and she hurried toward him, "Shu Kuang, you’re back?"

"Servants greet the Crown Prince!" Spring Peach and Warm Summer quickly performed a curtsey, then tactfully withdrew.

Once it was just the two of them in the tent, Bai Susu threw herself into Feng Qiwu’s arms, checking his body from top to bottom.

While Feng Qiwu watched her actions with a smile.

He then embraced her altogether, letting Bai Susu cling to him.

"Susu indeed has sharp eyes, recognizing me immediately." Feng Qiwu said, feeling very pleased.

On his way over, he had worried that Susu might mistake him for that other being possessing him, unable to recognize him.

Turns out he was overthinking.

After all, Susu loves him so much, how could she possibly not tell the difference between the two of them?

Hearing Feng Qiwu’s words, Bai Susu sighed in relief and said, "Identifying you isn’t difficult, you didn’t suffer any hidden injuries, did you?"

Seeing her still worried look, Feng Qiwu laughed, "No, don’t worry."

"That’s good. You are something, getting into a fight with a tiger; lucky nothing happened." Bai Susu said with a hint of scold.

"Don’t worry, that tiger was no match for me. I beat it to death with my fists, so the tiger skin is perfectly intact; I’ll personally skin it for you to use as a mat, perfect for winter." Feng Qiwu said with a smile.

She was once again astonished by his combat power.

Even Wu Song fighting a tiger might not compare.

Yet she couldn’t help but ask, "Shu Kuang, what happened today? Why did you seem so lost?"

Hearing this, Feng Qiwu pursed his lips, his expression growing dark.

Seeing this, Bai Susu said, "If you don’t want to talk about it, there’s no need to force yourself; I’m just worried that such a situation might happen again, so I want to understand it to avoid being caught off guard and not knowing what to do."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qiwu suddenly embraced Bai Susu tightly.

Then he said in a hoarse voice, "It’s nothing I can’t say, it’s just that I was born the son of an unwanted Evil Ghost."

"Today’s environment reminded me of the scene when I was born, which is why I lost control, my mind slipping away." Feng Qiwu’s voice dropped, carrying a hint of distaste.

Bai Susu furrowed her brow.

"How do you know what the scene was when you were born? You were just a baby then, how could you remember?" Bai Susu asked puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qiwu shook his head and whispered, "In the secret chamber of the palace, the scene from my birth is preserved, with pictures of the Ghost Child’s advent on the walls, which I have seen with my own eyes."
