Chapter 1176: Forced Up a Tree Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Chapter 1175 – Forced up a Tree Weiwu didn’t care- he lept at the lion the next instant. It jumped in shock and clawed at Weiwu, trying to get it on the ground, but Weiwu retaliated before the claw even landed! The paw slapped the lion onto the ground! Weiwu seemed to have understood Yushu. He was to conquer this lion, not kill it! The lion was a weakling his eyes. He could slap it and kill it, but Yushu didn’t want that. The lion didn’t expect such a powerful force coming from his enemy when he was just testing the waters! Terror filled its eyes as it watched Weiwu come at him again. The lion turned and ran in the opposite direction! Huli’s eyes went wide- what was up with her lion, why was it running away like some monster was after it? “Little lion, come back right now! What’re you doing, come eat this dog!” Huli was getting worried. She came here to use this lion to punish these people, but it was running away! But, the usually obedient lion didn’t even listen! It just kept running, but of course, it wasn’t as fast as Weiwu! Forced to a corner, the lion spotted a tree in the yard. After gritting its teeth, it jumped up onto the tree! “A lion climbing a tree? That’s so cool! Old lady, your lion is a specially trained circus animal!” Yushu exclaimed. Huli’s face went red. Yushu made it clear. She was calling her a clown that trained and played with lions! She was pissed but didn’t understand the situation. How could something as powerful as a lion, who had eaten much bigger dogs than Weiwu, run from him like this? The lion climbed up and held onto the tree, not daring to come down. Weiwu, on the other hand, squatted under the tree calmly, as if waiting for it to come down! “Little lion, come down!” Huli said, getting worked up. The lion ignored her as if she weren’t there. “Little lion?” Huli yelled again. The lion still didn’t respond. It wasn’t planning on coming down at all! “I’ll go back and look at my pictures, your lion is now my yard guardian, and he doesn’t wanna go back with you! Bye-bye!” Yushu waved her hand at her and went inside, leaving Weiwu, the lion on the tree, and Gou Huli. She didn’t know how to respond. She came here to show off her power and wrath, but now the lion wasn’t coming down and was ignoring her! She couldn’t just sit there on the ground like that dog and wait, could she? She’d lose all her face! She didn’t understand. Was this dog that scary? Why was the lion so scared?? “Little doggie... Can you let the lion down?” Huli didn’t have a choice. She softened her voice to negotiate with Weiwu, keeping her voice down in case someone heard this embarrassing thing. “Woof, woof!” Weiwu barked twice at her, forcing her back. She wilted and backed off two steps! Evidently, she underestimated Weiwu’s intelligence. She thought he was a normal dog! “Doggie... We both have a ‘gou’ in our names, how come you’re so unfriendly... I want my lion back. Let him come down, will you?” Huli said, not giving up. “Woof, woof!” Weiwu barked twice again, forcing her back a couple more steps. “Fine, fine, if you don’t want to then... I’ll go...” Huli was quite troubled. She didn’t want to leave just like that, but she wasn’t strong enough to fight the dog! What if he got pissed and bit her? She had to go home and plan her next move. If she had to, she’d have to ask the masters from House Pi for help! But voicing her thoughts to Xiao Ji only resulted in her getting scolded. “It’s just a lion, leave it be! We may have two master fighters in our house protecting us, and this makes us House Xiao look powerful, but don’t you understand what’s going on? They’re here to monitor us so that we could make money for them! They’d help out if some enemies threatened that, but you’re saying you want them to help you beat a dog? How dare you even come up with that, these are masters among masters! Why would they go around beating dogs with you?!” “But... This isn’t about the lion. It’s about our reputation! We, House Xiao, just suffered at the hands of Chu Mengya. If we don’t take our revenge, people will think we’re afraid of them...” Huli said unwillingly. “This isn’t the problem of being afraid or not- Lin Yi crippled uncle Pi, and if they wanted revenge, they would’ve done so already, they don’t care about you!” Xiao Ji hmphed. “Since they’re not going to Lin Yi, this means that they won’t go, and this matter is at its end! Leave it be. Don’t let people know that we can’t use these Pi masters!” “I see...” Huli had no choice but to lower her head. “Haha, brother, that’s not the complete story- House Pi didn’t go to Lin Yi for revenge because Uncle Pi’s true injuries were caused by sis-in-law- it’d be a bit hard pressed for them to go to Lin Yi using this matter!” Xiao Ben analyzed. “But, I believe that they are indeed interested in this revenge- if Lin Yi and we have some sort of business conflict, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind helping out. As long as it’s a reasonable issue, of course.” “Oh?” Xiao Ji blinked. His brother’s words made sense!
