Chapter 146 The tiger monster eats human hearts

After listening to what Youyou said, Mianmian finally understood Xiao Jingli's origins.

He was originally a cub of the white tiger clan, an ancient mythical beast.

However, because they helped the people from the demon world escape during the war between heaven and demons, their entire clan was punished.

Yoyo described it vividly: "All the white tigers had their tendons and bones stripped out. Their most powerful inner elixir is hidden in their tiger souls, so every white tiger had its tiger soul stripped out."

"Xiao Jingli is the only living white tiger fallen god. In order to avenge the Heavenly Court, he came to the human world to cause trouble, causing slaughter and causing mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

"So, the Heavenly Dao personally stepped in and sent the twenty-eight stars down to earth to suppress it in the pagoda behind the National Temple. It was suppressed for six hundred years."

Yoyo said, hugging his big tail tightly and trembling: "Now that he has been released, he should continue to seek revenge and destroy the world."

"But I don't know why, he has been living in peace with you for so many years. I'm afraid he has repented and has been touched by Princess Mianmian's sincerity!"

Mianmian patted it and said, "Don't be so smooth-talking."

Yoyo hugged her head and pretended to cry out in pain.

However, it thought of something and sat up straight: "Princess Mianmian, I am going to leave tomorrow."

Mianmian was thinking about Xiao Jingli. She came back to her senses after hearing what he said. She was very surprised: "You're leaving? Where are you going?"

Yoyo lowered his head in shame and scratched his head.

"I have some old matters that I must go back to deal with. Princess Mianmian, don't worry, I will come back to see you once I have dealt with them!"

Mianmian was stunned for a moment, then seeing Youyou's serious expression, she pursed her lips and said, "In that case, I'll wait for you to come back."

After that, she took out two sticks of incense from her sleeve.

"Take it and use it as a talisman when necessary."

"Thank you Princess Mianmian! You are truly the best friend I have met here." Yoyo was so moved that she almost cried.

After a few days, Youyou disappeared silently in the mansion.

Mianmian’s two younger brothers are still not used to it.

Yoyo has always been their beloved pet, playing with them every day. How could he suddenly disappear?

Mianmian went to the palace every day to check on the situation.

In addition to helping the emperor save his life, the other thing is to see if Xiao Jingli has returned.

However, the emperor was still sick and comatose, and Xiao Jingli had not returned either.

There are more and more cases of monsters hurting people in the capital.

They all died in the same way, with their hearts ripped out.

Starting with the night watchman, twelve people have died at the hands of the monster.

The only living person was a wandering monk from the capital.

He was protected by the ancestral cassock, so the monster failed to take out his heart.

But he was still covered in blood.

When he woke up and the authorities came to question him, he told them that the monster that ate people's hearts was a powerful tiger monster.

And they suck blood and eat hearts to increase their magic power.

Now it has eaten more than a dozen people and has long since turned into an evil creature that wreaks havoc on the surrounding areas.

If this situation is not dealt with, more people will get hurt.

The emperor was seriously ill, the prince disappeared, and all important affairs of the court fell on Ning Guanzhou's shoulders.

Not only did he have to deal with state affairs, he also had to suppress the news of the emperor's serious illness and the prince's disappearance, as well as investigate the man-eating monster.

When the family is having breakfast.

Ning Guanzhou hurriedly ate two buns and was about to leave.

Chen Qingyin hurriedly said, "Have some more porridge? Don't be so anxious."

Ning Guanzhou kissed her forehead and said, "No, the government officials are waiting. I have to go and discuss this with them."

After that, he kissed the children's heads one by one.

Finally, he told Mianmian: "The capital has been in turmoil these days. Mianmian, take your brothers with you and stay at home with your mother. Okay?"

Mianmian nodded obediently. The little girl had grown up and was like a peony bud about to bloom.

However, her brows were unconsciously furrowed. "Daddy, this is for you." Mianmian took out a triangular amulet, "Put it close to your body, it can protect your safety."

Ning Guanzhou smiled, feeling quite proud.

Daughters are still the best, they are like little cotton-padded jackets.

"Don't worry, Mianmian. Daddy will take good care of himself."

After saying that, Ning Guanzhou left in a hurry.

Chen Qingyin sighed beside him: "The capital has been in turmoil recently. Linlang, send someone to the Chen Mansion to bring my father, Ding Ming, and Ding Shi over to live together. It will be safer."

Her eldest brother Chen Hanmo was assigned abroad and has not returned to Beijing yet, and her second brother Chen Hanjing is stationed at the border, so they can be considered safe for the time being.

Linlang nodded and immediately went out to do it.

After breakfast, Mianmian took her two younger brothers to practice calligraphy.

But the two little guys were obviously absent-minded.

They couldn't help but ask, "Sister, why hasn't Prince come to see us recently?"

In the past, Xiao Jingli would often come to the mansion, and every time he came, he would bring interesting items for them.

Mianmian pursed her pink lips: "He's busy."

The two little guys looked at each other.

"When he was the busiest, he wrote to his sister every day and sent people to bring her food."

"But he hasn't been here for several days. Sister, did you two have a fight?"

Mianmian pressed the little ones on the table and said, "Don't ask nonsense questions. Hurry up and practice your calligraphy, or everyone will be punished to copy it later."

The younger brothers cried out loudly and quickly copied the words, not daring to talk nonsense anymore.

Mianmian was very confused.

Why is it such a coincidence that the tiger demon hurts people...

But she couldn't find Xiao Jingli.

It must not be him.

Otherwise, her responsibility is to protect the world and maintain the stability of the prosperous era.

She didn't want to become a rival to Xiao Jingli.

But for some reason, every night when she went to sleep these days, Mianmian felt that the tiger soul in her body was getting hot, and she even felt a dull pain all over her body.

I often have to toss and turn before I can fall asleep.

Xiao Jingli, what are you doing?

A few days later, Mianmian went to the shop and asked Mujin and Achang to close the shop before sunset.

There are rumors that a tiger demon is causing trouble recently, so the sales of sacred incense are even better.

Everyone wants to pray to the gods and Buddhas for protection and to avoid being harmed by evil spirits.

That night, just as Mianmian fell asleep, she heard a commotion in the front yard.

Linlang's urgent voice sounded at the door: "Miss, it's bad, the master was injured by a monster!"

Mianmian suddenly opened her eyes, threw back the quilt and ran out without even having time to put on her shoes.

"Dad!" Mianmian ran down the corridor and ran all the way to the main courtyard.

The wounds on Ning Guanzhou's body had been treated and wrapped with white bandages. There was a strong smell of blood and herbs mixed together.

Chen Qingyin sat beside the bed and cried, looking at Ning Guanzhou's unconscious face.

"They said your father was leading a patrol himself, but he was ambushed in the alley. He was barely rescued by four people protecting him. The tiger demon ate the hearts of the four people and seriously injured your father."

Mianmian's face was heavy. She walked forward to take Ning Guanzhou's pulse and confirmed that although Ning Guanzhou was seriously injured, his vitals were not damaged.

She turned her head and saw Linlang trying to clean Ning Guanzhou's bloody clothes, and immediately walked over: "Wait, let me take a look."

The little girl took out a triangular talisman that was completely soaked in blood.

There is the breath of this monster on it.

A strong and cold murderous intent surged in the depths of his dark eyes.

She grasped the triangle in her palm and walked out.
