Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Phoenix seems to be afraid of something (Thanks to U120461331 for the monthly ticket increase)
Hearing her precious granddaughter’s words, Lady Ji almost stumbled. If Zhu Xiuxiu and Huo Xing’Er hadn’t been there to support her, she would surely have fallen.
"Suisui!"
Lady Ji called out to her impatiently.
At the sound of her name, Xiaosuisui turned her head and caught sight of Lady Ji. She sweetly called out "Grandmother!" from a distance.
Lady Ji’s heart almost melted. She didn’t dare approach, so she stood behind the Empress Dowager and asked her granddaughter, "Dear, what on earth are you doing? What meat did you say Xiaobai wanted to eat just now?"
Xiaosuisui casually answered, "Phoenix Meat. I don’t know what’s gotten into Xiaobai; he started fighting the phoenix the moment he saw it."
Upon hearing this, Lady Ji and the others couldn’t help but look up at the rabbit and the phoenix in the sky.
It was true. The snow-white ball of fur and the phoenix were locked in a confrontation, a scene charged with a life-or-death struggle!
The phoenix circled in the air, shrieking constantly. Its feathers were bristling as it glared at Xiaobai, who was leaping about, front paws clawing, relentlessly trying to scratch it.
Xiaosuisui watched, a little worried. The phoenix looks so huge, and my Xiaobai is so tiny, she thought. No matter how I look at it, I’m scared Xiaobai can’t beat the phoenix!
Seeing Xiaobai stare so intently at the phoenix, just like he stared at the meat she fed him, Xiaosuisui had a thought. My Xiaobai doesn’t just want to eat meat; he wants to eat Phoenix Meat! A wave of realization washed over her.
"Pretty Sister! I’m in a dilemma."
"Is the Princess angry because Xiaobai is fighting the phoenix and not listening to you?" Xie Pan’Er asked immediately upon hearing her words.
Xiaosuisui nodded openly. "I think he wants to eat Phoenix Meat, but the phoenix is a Divine Bird; it can’t be eaten."
Hearing Xiaosuisui’s words, Xie Pan’Er was quite surprised and quickly asked, "Princess, how do you know a phoenix can’t be eaten?"
Xiaosuisui thought for a moment, then said, "I saw a book in my eldest uncle’s room. It said that phoenixes are messengers of the Celestial Dao. They only appear in places brimming with Spiritual Qi or near people blessed with great fortune."
Hearing this, Xie Pan’Er felt she understood something more and said, "Then let’s find a chance to grab Xiaobai and leave the Palace."
Xie Pan’Er had heard Imperial Physician Yang’s words earlier and instinctively felt that Xiaobai was no ordinary creature. The Princess already has so many secrets that cannot be revealed to outsiders, she mused. And now, Xiaobai’s nature also seems extraordinary. I must handle this carefully.
"Okay, I’ll wait for the right moment, catch him, and go home," Xiaosuisui chirped.
Xiaosuisui watched as Xiaobai leapt up, clawed at the phoenix, and then rapidly descended, landing right at her feet.
Every time she was just about to catch Xiaobai, he would leap up again, claw the phoenix, then land and hide at her feet.
The phoenix shrieked and dove towards where Xiaobai landed. Each time it looked like it was about to peck Xiaobai, he would manage to hide behind Xiaosuisui.
This forced the phoenix to brake suddenly mid-air each time!
"Strange, why do I get the feeling that phoenix is afraid of something?"
The Empress Dowager’s voice, neither too loud nor too soft, reached the ears of the National Master, the young Emperor, and the Ji Family.
The National Master and the young Emperor also began to feel the same suspicion, while a cold sweat broke out on the backs of the Ji Family members!
