Chapter 224 Stop It! I’m Watching the Show

He Lulu was contemplating that Chu’s circus troupe was stronger than Hu’s. The man was just an ordinary circus troupe leader, yet he had such an intimidating look in his eyes.

Although they unintentionally exchanged glances, and Chu Yunshen even disguised his gaze and smiled at He Lulu swiftly, He Lulu was able to spot the majesty in Chu Yunshen’s eyes. It was a unique kind of intimidation.

He Lulu glanced at the Persian cat again. The cat looked so adorable and innocent as if it was urging him to take it away.

He might as well take the risk!

The Persian cat was so special that it was hard to come by. It was the rare odd-eyed cats with one reddish-brown eye, and it was so docile and tame. He would definitely fetch a good price when he sold it.

Gritting his teeth, He Lulu steeled his mind. He couldn’t care less about Chu Yunshen’s intimidating gaze and the troupe’s unusual nature.

This was the base of the Hu people, which was also He Lulu’s territory.

Even though they were in Chu, the Chu people did not dare to offend them here. Moreover, the Chu people rarely came here. This circus troupe was like the prey that fell right into He Lulu’s trap, ready to be caught and slaughtered.

While He Lulu was weighing the pros and cons, Mu Bai had already received Chu Yunshen’s order.

Mu Bai turned around without hesitation. In an instant, a cold light shot out, and five darts pierced through the apple on the banyan tree at once. The darts even pierced the apple right in the center.

Awesome!

Cheng Xiaoxiao was the first to clap her hands. When she came to her senses, she realized how inappropriate her behavior was.

She was now a cat!

No cat would clap with its paws after watching the performance and cry out at the same time.

She carefully looked around and breathed a sigh of relief while naughtily sticking out her tongue after realizing that everyone’s attention was on Mu Bai.

Thank goodness, no one noticed her abnormality.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was acute, and her senses were even more sensitive now that she was a cat. However, today was different. She probably was too indulged in the performance today that she didn’t even notice that Chu Yunshen had looked at her several times and covered her body with his sleeves.

In fact, someone in the crowd was locking his intense gaze on her. Only when Chu Yunshen looked at the crowd would the guy quickly look away.

That person was He Lulu.

He Lulu was now sure that the Persian cat was most likely intelligent. Now, he only needed to prove it directly.

After Mu Bai’s performance ended, Tingzhu cheered for Mu Bai with a wave of rapid gong sound. Songtao took the opportunity to walk into the crowd holding a clay jar and chortled, “Ladies and gentlemen, please show us your support! Thank you! Thank you! More to come!”

Damn!

They were really good at this!

Cheng Xiaoxiao was still immersed in Mu Bai’s performance. When she heard the sound of Tingzhu’s gong, she quickly turned her body in Tingzhu’s direction. When she saw Songtao, who was usually reserved and taciturn, suddenly make his round among the Hu people with a wide grin on his face, she was so shocked that her mouth was wide agape.

Songtao had almost finished walking one round. He nodded and bowed to those who had given him money. “Thank you! Thank you!”

It was unexpected that Songtao, who usually kept a straight face, would be so cheerful and bold.

As Cheng Xiaoxiao stared at Songtao’s face that was full of smiles, she admired Chu Yunshen for having these omnipotent subordinates.

After making a round, Songtao felt that he was going to collapse, and his face was almost stiff from laughing. He realized that doing the circus performance was even more tiring than his usual job. Both he and Tingzhu, who was shouting at the side, wished they could return to their original posts as the hidden guards.

The two quickly exchanged a helpless look, but the next second, their smiles became even brighter.

“Thank you, ladies and gentlemen! This was just our appetizer! Next, it is the real deal!”

After Tingzhu announced this, he knocked the gong in his hand again. The deafening sound attracted everyone’s attention again, as well as the cat’s.

Xiaowu had taken out six apples from the bamboo basket, and Tingzhu and Songtao helped him put an apple on his head and shoulders respectively.

Then, Xiaowu straightened his arms and spread out his palms, holding two apples in his palms.

Cheng Xiaoxiao had been watching every move on the stage. Seeing that the last apple had not been placed, she vaguely had a bold guess.

When the blindfolded Mu Bai walked to the designated place with ease, Tingzhu then stuffed the last apple into Xiaowu’s mouth.

Damn it!

Cheng Xiaoxiao knew it!

She knew it!

Cheng Xiaoxiao was leaning on Chu Yunshen’s arm at first, but now, she got up and stared ahead with great interest. She even wished that she could go and stand where Mu Bai was performing.

Chu Yunshen was a little dismayed as the cat was too overwhelmed by the performance.

This little furry thing was very active in joining in the fun.

Chu Yunshen deliberately flicked the cat’s forehead with his slender fingers, but the cat pushed his hand away impatiently.

Compared with Mu Bai’s show, Chu Yunshen obviously adored the cat’s reaction even more. He ruffled the cat’s head again and used his fingers to comb and smoothen the cat’s fur.

Stop it!

Cheng Xiaoxiao swayed her head in annoyance, trying to shake off Chu Yunshen’s hands.

Mu Bai had already thrown three darts. This time, he prepared to throw two darts at the apples on Xiaowu’s left and right shoulders.

Therefore, Cheng Xiaoxiao was not in the mood to mind Chu Yunshen. She stared ahead and focused on the show.

Wow! Mu Bai struck the apple again!

Cheng Xiaoxiao and the crowd felt as if they were holding in their breath nervously.

Because at this time, Mu Bai only had one dart left!

And he was aiming at the apple in Xiaowu’s mouth, which was the last apple!

Chu Yunshen extended his hand to her again. Cheng Xiaoxiao flicked her ears, looked back at Chu Yunshen to hiss at him, and quickly turned her head back and stared at Mu Bai.

In fact, Cheng Xiaoxiao was staring at the small meteor-like dart between Mu Bai’s fingers. Chu Yunshen frowned and huffed helplessly as she ignored him through and through.

Swish!

It was the sound of the dart flying out!

Since Chu Yunshen didn’t bother her again, Cheng Xiaoxiao held her breath and nervously looked at the flying dart in the air. Her eyes were fixed on the dart, and she was reluctant to look away even for a second.

When she witnessed the dart pierce the apple in Xiaowu’s mouth with her own eyes, she directly jumped up in Chu Yunshen’s arms excitedly.

The Persian cat let out a high-pitched cat cry. Fortunately, her cry was drowned out by the crowd’s cheers.

The audience applauded and cheered loudly. A few ladies looked eagerly at the blindfolded Mu Bai as if they would rush up to him at any minute.

Were they so fanatical?

Chu Yunshen raised his eyebrows. He knew his subordinates very well. This kind of difficult performance was a piece of cake for them.

Chu Yunshen knew Mu Bai’s strength, and throwing darts blindfolded was putting fine timber for petty use. Therefore, Chu Yunshen was nonchalant to Mu Bai’s performance.

After the performance ended, Tingzhu knocked his gong, followed closely by Songtao’s nod and bow to the audience.

As they had the first break time, Cheng Xiaoxiao had a chance to condemn Chu Yunshen.

She bluntly patted Chu Yunshen’s arm, and when Chu Yunshen looked down at her, she bared her teeth at Chu Yunshen in irritation.

She even waved her paws to express her frustration toward Chu Yunshen without restraint.

“Little thing.”

Chu Yunshen silently mouthed the words, and she could tell what he was saying by reading his lips. He reached his hand out to the cat again, but he retracted his hand as the cat glared at him.

For some reason, Chu Yunshen loved to see the cat’s angry appearance right now. Not only was her expression vivid, but her odd-colored eyes were also overflowing with light, so bright that it was dazzling.

Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t care less about Chu Yunshen’s preference. As long as Chu Yunshen reached out to her, she would immediately let out a low roar. In any case, she would not let Chu Yunshen have his own way.

She knew that Chu Yunshen was just joking with her. Had it been on usual days, she would definitely have played with Chu Yunshen, but this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Her priority now was the performance.

She just wanted to quietly watch the show! It was as simple as that!

She wasn’t even sure if there would be another performance next time. Presumably, it would be difficult to see Xiaowu and the others gather together to do such performances.

Therefore, Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to enjoy every performance. In fact, Tingzhu said just now that there would be a mysterious performance later.

She wondered if the performer would be Chu Yunshen.

Thinking about it, she was indeed a little thrilled!

Cheng Xiaoxiao was more interested in the next performance, so she was determined not to let Chu Yunshen ruin her experience of watching the show.

Absolutely not!

She finally roared at Chu Yunshen’s well-defined knuckle, and then turned to watch Xiaowu perform the sword swallowing.

Just as Cheng Xiaoxiao was “intimidating” Chu Yunshen, the troupe had moved on to the next performance.

Fortunately, she discovered it in time. When Xiaowu took out the special sword, she hurriedly shifted her attention back.

The timing was just right. She was such a genius!

Cheng Xiaoxiao was very pleased with herself. Chu Yunshen did not tease her again, so she could enjoy the show in peace.

However, when Tingzhu struck the gong, an extremely discordant voice came from the crowd.

“Hey, even I know how to swallow a sword. Do something else!”

Who was this person?

He was deliberately stirring up trouble.

Cheng Xiaoxiao imitated Chu Yunshen’s usual behavior and looked coldly at the person who spoke.

Then, the man spoke again, and this time, he spoke in a more disdainful and louder tone, “What’s so great about your performance anyway? The sword is specially made, right? Are you trying to cheat our hard-earned money with a fake show?”

These words were rather unpleasant to hear. Cheng Xiaoxiao felt that it was simply too much.

It was obvious that this person was here to cause trouble!
