Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Empress Dowager: "That's strange. Although Miss Situ said it's her second time entering the Imperial Palace, she's unfamiliar with the place and shouldn't have gone far."

The Emperor sent her over because he trusts her as his dear mother, so I can't lose her.

Thus, the Empress Dowager immediately dispatched many palace maids and eunuchs to search everywhere.

............…

Xuexue, hiding under Stone Mountain, escaped the search by the palace maids and eunuchs thanks to the cover of the vines.

In the end, she simply slipped into the hidden space.

She lay on a bed of flowers, breathing in the fragrance of exotic flowers and plants, and closed her eyes comfortably.

At this moment, Xiao Taohong floated over, chattering, "Master, Master, the Empress Dowager has mobilized everyone in Qiankun Palace to search for you! Is it really okay for you to be sleeping here?"

Little Tiger also came over to assist, "Yeah! Your sudden disappearance might make others suspicious."

Xuexue: "Let them be suspicious, the Imperial Palace is so big, finding one person is naturally a bit difficult."

Little Tiger intentionally doused her with cold water, "But Qiankun Palace isn't that big, and they've already searched three times with so many people. If you don't go out soon, it'll be hard to explain."

Xuexue reluctantly opened her eyes, looked at them, and said, "Do you both really want to drive me out? Am I in the way of your romance?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Taohong immediately blushed shyly, her cute face turning as red as a cooked shrimp.

Ah! Seems like she got it right.

Seeing Xiao Taohong's expression, Xuexue immediately understood.

Xuexue sat up from the flower bed and pretended to say seriously, "Don't forget, I'm the master of this space, you both have no right to drive me out."

Upon hearing this, Little Tiger and Xiao Taohong responded in unison, "Who dares to drive you out? We're all doing it for your good."

"Look, you're even talking the same way. Seems like my future days are going to be tough," Xuexue pretended to be distressed, with tears seemingly welling up in her eyes, looking quite pitiful.

Unable to bear it, Xiao Taohong said, "Master, don't worry, Xiao Taohong will always stand by you."

Xuexue weakly replied, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. When has Xiao Taohong ever lied to you, Master?"

"It seems like never."

"So there you go, stop crying."

"But today isn't like before, you've already...!" At this, Xuexue intentionally glanced at Little Tiger beside her, making it obvious that Xiao Taohong now had more than just her as a master; she also had a lover!

Most importantly, Xiao Taohong's lover was a tiger, a Thousand-Year Tiger Spirit.

Moreover, Little Tiger held an earth-shattering secret.

He who possesses the Thousand Year Striped Tiger shall rule the world.

Just this one sentence, if leaked, who knows how many heroes in the world would die for it.

Xiao Taohong immediately declared, "Master, don't worry, no matter what, you are our master; that will never change."

Saying this, she secretly nudged Little Tiger next to her, "Say something, will you?"

Little Tiger, looking completely bewildered, glanced at Xiao Taohong, then at Xuexue, and foolishly asked, "Say what?"

"Are you dumb? Of course, pledge your loyalty to the Master."

"Does loyalty need to be expressed?"

"Of course, how else would the Master know if it's not said?"

"You women are truly long-haired and short-sighted, that saying is true."

"Courting death." Xiao Taohong chided, although she's fond of Little Tiger, she also has dignity and will not tolerate being trampled.
