Lose My Heart to the Lovely Kitten Princess - Chapter 225
Chapter 225 The Troublemaker Was Here
Xiaowu and Cheng Xiaoxiao were equally bad-tempered. When he heard the man provoke him, he wanted to go over and argue with the man, but Mu Bai quickly stopped him.
Tingzhu and Songtao swiftly stood in front of Xiaowu to block his way.
“Sir, what do you think we should perform then?”
A low voice suddenly sounded, and it made the noisy crowd suddenly quiet down.
It was Chu Yunshen!
Surprisingly, Chu Yunshen personally spoke up. Xiaowu and the others looked at Chu Yunshen in surprise and awe.
Cheng Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, was not surprised. She even thought that she was the only one here who knew Chu Yunshen’s true identity and why he would do this.
This was a very good opportunity for Chu Yunshen and the others to make an appearance here, and it would also allow them to integrate into the Hu people’s community faster.
Chu Yunshen was now the leader of the troupe. Now that a troublemaker appeared to provoke them, he couldn’t just let his troupe deal with the man on their own. As their leader, he should stand forward for the deterrent effect and be more convincing to the outsiders. By doing so, he could show the troublemaker who was the person in charge and how united they were.
Cheng Xiaoxiao knew that she could not completely figure out Chu Yunshen’s true intentions by her analysis, but she believed that she was almost right.
Meanwhile, Xiaowu and the rest could not figure out what Chu Yunshen was thinking as Cheng Xiaoxiao did. It was because, in their opinion, they could settle such a trivial problem themselves, and there was no need for Chu Yunshen to bother about it.
Xiaowu and the others had been restricted by this thought, so they could not understand such a simple and straightforward truth.
The quiet crowd automatically made way for the person who had just provoked the troupe. The man was dressed in coarse linen clothes. The collar and sleeves of the clothes were sewn with black fur. It looked like the fur of some animal, perhaps a wolf or something else.
Looking at his appearance, one could tell that he was not a kind person. The man had a red chubby face and a pair of slanted eyes. He looked around smugly. When he shifted his gaze to the Persian cat, his eyes were even brighter, and he uttered his ultimate goal ambiguously.
“Your performances are too boring. Why don’t you show something interesting?”
Chu Yunshen leaned to the side and separated the cat from the fat man. His tone was colder than before as he spoke, “We do have a mysterious performance. Since you are so impatient… Xiao Wu, go and prepare for your show!”
“Yes, leader.”
Xiaowu gave the fat man a fierce look, stuffed the sword in his hand into Mu Bai’s hand, and then angrily went behind the big banyan tree.
Soon, Xiaowu returned with the big cage in his hand that had been covered with a cotton cloth.
He no longer kept them in suspense. He walked to Chu Yunshen and lifted the cotton cloth covering the cage.
Before this, Cheng Xiaoxiao had been guessing what was in the cage. She knew that it must be some kind of animal, so she had been mentally prepared.
But the second after Xiaowu lifted the cotton cloth, Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to scream in surprise.
It was a little macaque.
It was too cute!
The little macaque had a peach-shaped face. It had big and round eyes, which made it look particularly smart and witty. At this moment, the monkey darted his big eyes around playfully as if it was thinking about something.
The macaque’s nose was flat, but it had big nostrils, and below the nose was a sharp and big mouth. When it opened its mouth, the mouth was so huge that it almost occupied half of the face. It looked very adorable!
Although Cheng Xiaoxiao was now a Persian cat, and they were both cute pets, this did not affect her liking the smart little macaque, just like how Cheng Xiaoxiao liked the little nestling.
This was the fatal attraction of small animals to girls!
Cheng Xiaoxiao grinned at the little macaque, and her loving eyes made Xiaowu stunned.
Xiaowu did not bother to tease the cat any more. After opening the cage, he held the little macaque’s hand and led it out of the cage.
As expected, monkeys were intelligent creatures. Cheng Xiaoxiao stared in awe as the macaque was led out of the cage. When it bowed to the audience, it melted everyone’s heart.
Every time the little macaque bowed, the cat nodded as well. Cheng Xiaoxiao did not intend to do it, but it was an unconscious reaction.
Chu Yunshen lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the cat nodding her little head like a woodpecker.
Chu Yunshen, who was wearing a human skin mask, now had normal double eyelids, but his jet-black pupils remained the same. He looked at the cat with the imperceptible gentleness in his eyes.
After the little macaque finished walking one round, Xiaowu brought it back to Chu Yunshen’s side. Chu Yunshen gave Xiaowu an obscure nod, and then glanced at Tingzhu swiftly.
Almost at the same time as Tingzhu sensed Chu Yunshen’s gaze, he struck the gong in his hand again.
“I’m sure you’ve seen it. ‘General Monkey’ is our mysterious performer today!”
As soon as Tingzhu’s warm voice rang out, the audience started to cheer again.
After Chu Yunshen finished speaking earlier, the crowd fell into silence. This situation only became slightly better when Xiaowu went to get the cage. After Xiaowu pulled out the macaque, the crowd began to whisper, but they did not cheer as much as they did just now.
It was as if they were muted at the same time and had agreed not to talk.
In fact, if one really thought about it carefully, they would find some subtle clues.
For example, when the fat man spoke, the others intentionally stopped talking. When the fat man finished speaking, they continued to discuss. Then, the crowd made way for the fat man involuntarily.
It was absolutely impossible to say that this was a coincidence.
When no one noticed, the fat man quickly glanced at the crowd, and the direction in which he looked was where De Ertai and He Lulu were.
That was right. The fat man, Gu Hunge, was sent by He Lulu, who had been staring intensely at the Persian cat. Gu Hunge made up his mind to stir up trouble now so that he could attract Chu Yunshen’s and the troupe’s attention. Only then could He Lulu carry out the plan they had already discussed.
As he thought that the cat would soon belong to them, the greediness in Gu Hunge’s eyes became stronger. It was just that his eyes were too small, and even if his emotions were surging, it was not easy for outsiders to notice.
“Is this your so-called grand finale?”
Gu Hunge asked Chu Yunshen, deliberately dragging his words.
Chu Yunshen ignored Gu Hunge’s rude and smug attitude. He was observing the cat’s reaction. Then, he looked up to Gu Hunge and nodded slightly.
He nodded ever so slightly that no one would know that he had answered Gu Hunge’s question, but Gu Hunge saw it. Actually, Gu Hunge did not care whether Chu Yunshen would answer this question. He simply bleated, “Well, if this little monkey is their grand finale, I think we better leave! What’s there to see? We’ve seen monkey shows so many times, we’ve long been tired of it!”
Gu Hunge deliberately shouted at the crowd. While shouting, he drove away the crowd surrounding Chu Yunshen’s troupe. In fact, the audience began to disperse, and some of them even retreated.
Seeing Gu Hunge’s actions, Chu Yunshen frowned, producing wrinkles between his thick eyebrows.
The strident Cheng Xiaoxiao was the opposite. With her temper, she was not afraid of anyone.
She struggled a few times in Chu Yunshen’s arms. Then, she leaned most of her body out of his embrace and hissed at Gu Hunge, her shiny fur fluffing up.
The cat would have pounced on Gu Hunge and scratched his face had Chu Yunshen not restrained the cat’s body.
Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t stand Gu Hunge’s arrogant look, which was appalling.
Gu Hunge was obviously trying to stir up trouble. He seemed to enjoy the helplessness of Chu Yunshen and the others who obviously disliked him but couldn’t do anything to him.
Cheng Xiaoxiao hated someone cynical like Gu Hunge, who loved to cause trouble.
If Gu Hunge came forward to raise his opinion openly and in a humble manner, they could come up with something good. However, he mocked and criticized the troupe without giving any wise suggestions. Cheng Xiaoxiao was pissed off.
Just like Chu Yunshen, Cheng Xiaoxiao treated Xiaowu and the others as her own people. Although Cheng Xiaoxiao often bullied Xiaowu and Mu Bai, only she could bully her own people.
Gu Hunge was an outsider. Who did he think he was to be so arrogant to them?
She was not trying to speak up for Xiaowu and the rest, but Gu Hunge’s current behavior was hateful and repulsive.
He was now like those brainless trolls on the Internet who liked to create unnecessary chaos. Not only was he annoying, but he also urged the crowd to join him. This method of inciting other people’s emotions was a bit too despicable.
However, the crowd was easily influenced, and their thoughts were easy to waver. Hearing Gu Hunge’s nonsense, the crowd felt that the performance Chu Yunshen’s troupe had prepared was not good enough. It was as if they were not the same crowd who applauded and cheered just now.
Xiaowu and the others couldn’t make a move. Now, Cheng Xiaoxiao was up in arms and wanted to beat Gu Hunge up.
She couldn’t care less about the consequences for now!
Not only Cheng Xiaoxiao, but Xiaowu and the others were also enraged, especially Xiaowu.
When Gu Hunge had ridiculed them at first, Xiaowu had a strong premonition that the man had some kind of plot waiting for them. Now that Gu Hunge continued to instigate the crowd, Xiaowu was even more certain of his prediction.
Mu Bai was also in a black mood. He saw that Xiaowu carried the cage here and there. The macaque was not light, and the cage seemed to be made of pure iron. It looked very heavy.
Now that Gu Hunge ridiculed them for having a boring show and threatened to leave, the crowd followed suit! It was unbelievable!
Mu Bai would have taken out his medicinal powder and poisoned the crowd, but now, all he could do was clench his fist and stand next to Xiaowu, stopping him from going forward.
