You cause trouble and I collect your body, the little emperor’s aunt abuses the scumbag again

A sealed, transparent box fell from the iron bird's belly and was caught steadily by Xiaoxiao.

"Here, Seven-Star Dragon Saliva Grass." Xiaoxiao tossed the box to Grandpa Hai. "Take good care of it. I won't compensate you if it gets broken."

"Oh! Oh!" Grandpa Hai was overjoyed, his hands trembling as he held the box, so excited that he could hardly speak.

The mission was successfully completed, and the group was ready to return to Beijing.

On the way back, the atmosphere was eerily strange.

No one dared to underestimate this five-year-old toddler anymore; the guards looked at her with awe.

Aslan remained silent, only occasionally glancing furtively at the little girl sitting in the car, swinging her short legs and stuffing snacks into her mouth with an extremely complicated look.

His worldview is being overturned and reshaped.

He had personally witnessed countless times Xiaoxiao putting all those metal lumps back into her pocket one by one.

The "eggshell," taller than the person, and the yellow tin dog vanished into thin air in a flash of light, and were stuffed into that small cloth bag.

His heart skipped a beat.

This bag is definitely not the one Father Emperor has!

He's been deceived! Even his father has been deceived!

But he had no evidence.

This little liar has been playing them all for a fool from beginning to end!

He suddenly felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet and instantly spread throughout his body.

Should she be made the Crown Princess?

This thought filled him with fear for the first time. Could he really control such a bewitching woman, whom even his father couldn't see through and who could conjure countless unpredictable ghosts and spirits out of thin air?

No, he can't.

He even felt that one day he might die at the hands of this little girl.

Night fell once more.

The group set up camp in the mountains and forests.

The guards kept their eyes down, seemingly oblivious to their surroundings, keeping a safe distance from the massive black metal vehicle.

Aslan didn't sleep a wink all night, his mind a complete mess. It wasn't until dawn that he finally succumbed to exhaustion and drifted off to sleep in his tent.

“Buzz…buzz…”

A strange buzzing sound startled him from his light sleep.

That sound... is exactly the same as that flying iron bird!

Aslan jolted awake, sat bolt upright on the blanket, flung open the tent flap, and rushed out.

Under the moonlight, he saw something even stranger than the iron bird.

The object resembled a giant egg with its top removed, supported by three slender metal supports at the bottom and an open seat on top, large enough to accommodate only one person. At that moment, several enormous blades on top of the seat were spinning rapidly, emitting a captivating buzzing sound.

Xiaoxiao had already climbed up using both her hands and feet, and was sitting on that small seat, fiddling with something with her head down.

"Ji Xiaoxiao! Where are you going!" Aslan's eyes widened in fury as he rushed over.

Xiaoxiao looked up, waved her little hand at him, and had a sly smile on her face.

"Go home."

Before the words were finished, the strange thing let out an even louder roar, suddenly rose up from the ground, and stirred up a gust of wind that made the campfire on the ground flicker.

"Get down here!"

Aslan was furious. He drew his sword and pointed it at Xiaoxiao in mid-air, but the strange thing flew higher and higher until it became a small black dot and disappeared into the night.

She just left?

How could they just abandon him, the Crown Prince, along with a squad of imperial guards, in this desolate wilderness?

"what--!"

Aslan roared to the sky, filled with anger and rage, wishing he could strangle Xiaoxiao right now.

"Roar--!"

A deafening tiger roar came from the dense forest not far away, echoing his furious roar.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Hai Gonggong was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a thud, his voice trembling: "Your...Your Highness, it's...it's the Mountain Lord!"

Several enormous tigers with white foreheads emerged slowly from the darkness with steady steps. Their eyes, like copper bells, gleamed with an eerie green light in the night, staring intently at the uninvited guests.

"Protect His Highness!"

The commander of the Imperial Guards shouted and immediately ordered his men to form a formation, protecting Aslan and Eunuch Hai in the middle.

The spears were aimed at the tiger, and the archers drew their bows.

But the tiger was not afraid at all. It opened its blood-red maw, roared again, and pounced with a foul stench!

The crowd fought back desperately.
