Su Yuanyuan was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that he had indeed said such words to her.
Right, it was precisely because she had revealed her fear of dogs at the Grand Autumn Banquet that she had been framed by the Crown Prince and Su Qingyu.
"But I don't know how to forget that experience," she lowered her head and looked at her own hands.
These hands of hers had been gnawed off by wild dogs in the mass - burial ground.
Cang Xuan's warm and broad palm pressed against Su Yuanyuan's back, transmitting a reliable warmth. His other hand pinched her delicate chin, turning her face towards the three black dogs lying under the tree.
"Look, those vicious dogs that were chasing and biting you just now dare not come forward now because they're afraid of me. That's what we mean by 'a dog takes advantage of its master's power'. As long as you're not afraid of them, they won't pose a threat to you."
He stuffed the crossbow that he had used to shoot the pursuers just now into her hands. Cang Xuan whispered in her ear, "Try to make them afraid of you. Don't worry, I'm right behind you. I won't let them hurt you."
Try to make the dogs afraid of her?
Su Yuanyuan looked at the three black dogs as tall as a man in front of her. The scene of her corpse being torn and gnawed in the mass - burial ground emerged in her mind, and cold sweat broke out on her body one after another.
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.
The person who had saved her corpse was right behind her. He would protect her!
That's right. She shouldn't be afraid of these hateful dogs anymore. She should be tough! She had been practicing martial arts with her sister - in - law every day. Wasn't it just to protect herself and her family? But now, just because of three dogs, she had fled in a panic. How could such a her help her father, her three elder brothers, or Cang Xuan behind her?!
Su Yuanyuan's expression darkened. Her eyes became sharp, and a hint of killing intent appeared between her eyebrows.
She raised the crossbow in her hand, aimed at the three black dogs in front, and angrily pulled the trigger. The arrow flew out of her hand and deeply pierced into the ground in front of the black dogs.
Perhaps sensing the killing intent on her, the three black dogs, frightened by the arrow that had almost taken their lives, clamped their tails, whined, and dodged backward.
Cang Xuan led Su Yuanyuan down from the branch. She held the crossbow and shot at will. Every step she took forward, an arrow flew out, forcing the three black dogs into a corner. She stopped only when the crossbow was out of arrows.
Putting down the crossbow, she then realized that her clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and her heart was pounding violently because of the confrontation with the black dogs.
The fear of dogs in her heart had completely disappeared. All that was left now was boundless hatred.
Hatred for the Crown Prince and for Su Qingyu.
But the other side was obviously well - prepared this time and had even slandered her as an evil star. In such a situation, how could she turn the tables?
She was about to turn around and ask Cang Xuan, but at this moment, she suddenly heard a strange sound.
[She's so fierce. Does she want to kill us?]
[I just wanted to play with her, but she wants to kill us. Wuwu, it's so scary!]
Su Yuanyuan was taken aback and couldn't help asking Xiao Ba in her heart, [Xiao Ba, is that you talking?]
Xiao Ba replied blankly, [Xiao Ba didn't say anything.]
[Do you think if I show her my belly, she won't kill us?]
Just after this sentence was spoken, one of the big black dogs suddenly lay on the ground, desperately wagging its tail while showing its belly.
Seeing this, the other two big black dogs also lay on the ground and showed their bellies.
Su Yuanyuan was stunned, and a look of shock appeared on her face.
So, what she had just heard was the thoughts of these three dogs?
Cang Xuan saw Su Yuanyuan standing there stupidly with the crossbow in her hand and thought she was still afraid.
Sighing softly in his heart, he stepped forward, held her wrist, took back the crossbow from her hand, reloaded it with new arrows, then held her hand and aimed the crossbow at the three big black dogs again.
The dogs that had been lying on the ground showing their bellies and wagging their tails at Su Yuanyuan immediately got up from the ground and shrank back. And Su Yuanyuan also heard their thoughts.
[This man is a god of death. Brothers, run!]
[Big brother, my legs are weak. I can't run...]
[Big brother, you run first. We'll hold them back. We'll be brothers again in the next life!]
Two of the black dogs seemed to think they were doomed, so they bared their teeth and were about to pounce on Su Yuanyuan and Cang Xuan, while the other one posed to run away.
Su Yuanyuan was stunned. She never thought that she could really hear the thoughts of these three dogs?
Pressing down Cang Xuan's hand, Su Yuanyuan quickly said, "Brother Yun Jian, wait!"
Hearing this, Cang Xuan put down the crossbow as he was told.
Too shocked, Su Yuanyuan hurriedly asked Xiao Ba in her heart, [Xiao Ba, why can I suddenly hear their thoughts? Are you helping me?]
Xiao Ba replied, [No, only you, Yuanbao, can hear their thoughts. Maybe this opportunity originally existed in the original Yuanbao, but because you were too afraid of dogs, you never discovered it.]
Really?
Su Yuanyuan recalled the memories of the original body and found that in the extremely limited memories of the original body, she was indeed very close to animals. She also remembered that when she woke up at the Grand Autumn Banquet, she had heard the barking of dogs. Later, the little white dog raised by the Queen had entered the main hall and rushed straight towards her.
Now, thinking carefully, that little white dog didn't want to pounce on and bite her, but showed affection for her.
She even remembered that in the Fragrant Wine House, when she fed maltose to the horse, the horse had also shown affection for her.
Su Yuanyuan looked at the three big black dogs, her eyes twinkling with a calculating light. "Brother Yun Jian, I've thought of a way to fight back."
To come up with a way to fight back so quickly. She really was the woman he had taken a fancy to.
"Oh?" Cang Xuan smiled with raised eyebrows. "Tell me."
The young girl stood on tiptoe and whispered her plan in his ear.
Cang Xuan said, "Do whatever you want. Remember, I'll protect you from behind."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, squatted down, and said to the three big black dogs in front, "I won't hurt you. Come here, come to me."
Cang Xuan's gaze fell on Su Yuanyuan, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He wanted to see what the young girl was going to do.
Dogs are the most loyal animals. Especially dogs that have been raised by humans, they won't listen to anyone except their master.
The next moment, a surprising scene happened. The three big black dogs that had been fierce and chasing Su Yuanyuan to bite just now immediately sat up from the ground, wagged their tails hard, stuck out their tongues, and ran towards Su Yuanyuan.
The moment the black dogs approached, Su Yuanyuan's body tensed up instantly. But the three big black dogs not only didn't open their mouths to bite her, but also whined at her. That sound sounded more like coquetry.
At this moment, in Su Yuanyuan's ears, the three black dogs were really coquetting with her.
[Stroke us. We really just want to play with you~]
[Big brother, this human smells so good. I like her! Woof!]
[I like her too, I like her too!]
Su Yuanyuan gradually relaxed. She tentatively reached out to touch the three black dogs, and the three black dogs obediently lowered their heads.
After getting close to the black dogs for a while, she lowered her head and whispered something in their ears.
Witnessing all this, Cang Xuan couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
His little girl seemed to have obtained another extraordinary opportunity.
