A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 474: Paper Tiger
Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Paper Tiger
Li Yanyan and her grandmother hid to one side, eyeing Xiaosuisui and Huo Xing’Er, plotting how to deal with Li Suisui.
However, what they didn’t expect was that behind them, on the rooftop of a tall building, an old monk with a long, grizzled beard sat cross-legged, reciting scriptures. At that very moment, all their actions were perceived by the old monk, heard by his ears and seen by his eyes.
Old Lady Li pulled Li Yanyan into hiding beneath a secluded mountain hollow.
"Now’s the time! Release your big tiger. First, scare that little girl half to death, then I’ll go out and finish her off!"
Li Yanyan nodded obediently. She recalled what had been said:
As long as Li Suisui is around, I can never be a young lady of a prestigious family. Thinking about my time in the Li Mansion... attended by maids, taught to read and write... all because I was born on a day of heavenly auspicious signs. But among those born on the same day as me, there was also Li Suisui. If the National Master finds out Li Suisui is still alive, then Li Suisui could very likely take everything from me!
Li Yanyan, despite her young age, had surprisingly mature and calculating thoughts. Fearful that Li Suisui would take everything from her, she wanted to eliminate this future threat completely.
Listening to Old Lady Li, she took a Talisman with a tiger drawn on it from her small bag. She performed a hand seal, blew a breath of air onto the Talisman, and released it. Instantly, a large tiger materialized.
The moment she conjured the tiger, a gleam flashed in Old Lady Li’s eyes.
"Grandma’s little treasure is truly amazing!" Old Lady Li exclaimed. "Look at the big tiger you conjured! It’s so lifelike, it could scare someone to death!"
Li Yanyan was immensely proud, holding her head high. "Of course! I am the Lucky Star! Master says I’m a once-in-a-century talent!"
With that, she directed the tiger to charge towards Li Suisui.
Up on the tall building, the old monk suddenly opened his eyes. He stood by the window, gazing into the distance. When he saw a large tiger charging towards a child, the old monk’s brow furrowed.
Illusion Technique! Who is so audacious to dare use the Illusion Technique within Buddhist grounds?
The old monk muttered to himself and raised his hand, as if intending to intervene. Then, his brow furrowed again, and he slowly lowered his raised hand.
As he watched, the artificially conjured tiger advanced step by step towards the child, who was playing merrily.
The child, upon seeing the tiger, showed not a shred of fear. Instead, she blinked at it with innocent curiosity.
"Wow! A big cat! Where did you come from? Do you want to play with me?"
Hearing this, the old monk blinked involuntarily. He rubbed his eyes, thinking he might be hallucinating, and then reflexively cupped a hand to his ear, as if to clear it.
Whose child is this? So young, yet possessing such remarkable courage!
The child with such remarkable courage was from the Ji Family; she was now known as Ji Suisui.
Not only did she possess courage, but her skill in the Illusion Technique was also top-notch. Initially, she thought it was a real tiger, which was why she wanted to play with it. However, as the tiger drew nearer, she realized something was amiss.
"Oh, so it’s just a paper tiger!"
Xiaosuisui immediately lost interest and muttered, "Paper tigers are no fun. I want a real tiger! Imagine how magnificent it would be, riding a real tiger all over the mountains!"
Huo Xing’Er, who was watching her from a large tree, called back, "Not bad, you figured out it’s a paper tiger and didn’t get scared."
Xiaosuisui looked at Huo Xing’Er and giggled. "Its eyes don’t even move! The person who made this paper tiger isn’t very skilled!"
