Chapter 22 Cloak

Dong Yueyun's heart was beating wildly, and countless speculations flooded into her mind.

She suddenly had a terrible guess - Duan Shubai and Xiao Yuhe were not real husband and wife.

"Miss Dong, why are you standing here stupidly?"

Dong Yueyun forced a smile and said, "I'm a little tired after working so hard, so I'll just stand here for a while."

She glanced at Xiao Yuhe again. Xiao Yuhe had already put down his sleeves. Dong Yueyun calmed down and turned around to continue doing her work. But once her heart was stirred, she could not calm down.

"The general and his men are back!" someone shouted loudly.

Xiao Yuhe stopped moving.

"The general and his men brought back two tigers..."

"The general is extremely brave. He captured a tiger by himself."

"That's a white tiger. So majestic!"

"--If I had known earlier, I would have gone with him. I could have become a tiger-killing hero!"

"You're dreaming! You're scared to death when you see a tiger."

...

Xiao Yuhe listened to the noisy discussions and the name of the beast. He felt nervous. Hearing Duan Shubai fighting a giant tiger alone, he felt a little dizzy. He hurriedly followed the team to greet the people who went up the mountain to hunt.

Two dead white tigers were carried in by several people. These two alone stole the limelight from all the other prey. The crowd all stood around the two giant tiger corpses to admire them.

"It's a beautiful white tiger with a completely white body."

"The stripes on its head are so scary..."

"Look at its teeth, they can bite my bones into pieces..."

"Are there any casualties among these two terrifying white tigers?"

"No one was killed. Three of us were slightly injured and captured two tigers. We are General Duan's subordinates. How could we be killed by a mere tiger?"

...

Others were talking around the two huge tiger corpses. Xiao Yuhe saw the man standing aside and giving orders. There were several bowl-sized holes torn on his clothes. His top and bottom were stained with blood. Xiao Yuhe was frightened by the shocking color and his heart stopped for a moment. When he walked to Duan Shubai, he was scared and panicked. With red eyes, he asked hoarsely: "How are you? Are you seriously injured?"

Duan Shubai suddenly saw his red eyes, and his heart warmed. He smiled softly: "I'm fine, it's all tiger blood."

Xiao Yuhe said anxiously: "You said you're fine, look at your mouth corners are full of blood." The dried black bloodstains on the lips were thrilling.

"Is there any blood?" Duan Shubai raised his hand and tried to wipe it with his sleeve. Xiao Yuhe quickly stopped him, snatched the water bottle from his waist, and wet the silk handkerchief to help him gently wipe the blood.

"Don't tell me that the blood was stained by you biting the tiger."

Duan Shubai said with a playful smile: "Maybe I really bit the tiger and killed it." He put his hands on his cheeks, bit forward, and made a wild animal pounce.

Xiao Yuhe slapped his handsome face lightly and said disdainfully: "Be serious."

Duan Shubai, who was beaten, just smiled and said nothing.
