Lose My Heart to the Lovely Kitten Princess - Chapter 229

Chapter 229 Perform Together

After Xiaowu finished speaking, he retreated to Chu Yunshen’s side. When Chu Yunshen shifted his gaze to him, he nodded solemnly, indicating that Chu Yunshen could be at ease.

The audience might not be able to see the interaction between Chu Yunshen and Xiaowu clearly, but everyone on the stage could.

Gu Hunge only looked at them briefly before tactfully turning his head to the other side. He stood at the side, patiently waiting for Chu Yunshen and the others to communicate with each other. His confident expression was completely different from the heavy atmosphere on Chu Yunshen’s side.

After all, Gu Hunge was not in a hurry right now. He knew that these Chu people would definitely agree in the end, and then he would go with the current and make his ultimate move…

Gu Hunge curled his lips into a cold smile. Chu Yunshen had indeed agreed to let the Persian cat walk the maze as he had expected.

Xiaowu really knew what to do!

Cheng Xiaoxiao was not annoyed at the fact that Chu Yunshen compromised under Xiaowu’s persuasion instead of her coquettish encouragement.

She knew better than anyone else how worried Chu Yunshen was about her, but she had to do this right now.

Therefore, it would be best if Xiaowu could persuade Chu Yunshen. According to Chu Yunshen’s personality, he would usually make decisions on everything, which in fact would worsen the situation today.

Cheng Xiaoxiao cast a grateful look at Xiaowu, then patted Chu Yunshen’s leg and returned to the entrance of the maze alone.

In the end, Chu Yunshen chose to believe in his rational analysis. When they were at war, they focused on calm judgment and reasonable logic. He took the so-called “uneasy premonition”, which he felt for the first time, as the disturbance that was generated after everything wasn’t going well today. Hence, he restrained himself and did not think too much about it.

Seeing that the Persian cat was about to enter the maze, Gu Hunge grinned and exclaimed to Chu Yunshen, “Leader, it’s good that you’ve come to your senses. However, I’m afraid that it’ll be a little boring if the cat performs alone!”

“Don’t go overboard!” Xiaowu bleated harshly.

He finally succeeded in persuading Chu Yunshen, and now that Gu Hunge spoke again, he was worried this guy would make an excessive request, so he hissed immediately.

“You must be Brother Xiao Wu, right?” Gu Hunge grinned from ear to ear. He was not annoyed by Xiaowu’s reprimand. He even turned around and cupped his fists at Xiaowu. “Brother Xiao Wu, don’t worry. Please hear me out.”

The commotion here affected Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was clearing her mind and getting ready to walk through the maze. Therefore, she looked at Gu Hunge and Chu Yunshen.

“You see, the Persian cat must take some time walking through the maze, so we can’t just wait, right? That would be too boring! How about…”

Gu Hunge deliberately dragged his words to attract the attention of everyone present.

“How about the rest of you performing some show to liven things up? We can also idle away the waiting time while the cat walks through the maze.”

“Haha! Didn’t you say that we were cheating and our performance was boring?”

Xiaowu was not an easy-going person now. Ever since his interaction with Mu Bai increased, he was getting better and better at sassing someone. His remark rendered Gu Hunge speechless.

It was just that Xiaowu talked in a slightly low voice, and the audience’s cheer was so much louder than his voice. Besides, the audience all agreed with Gu Hunge.

It was such a pleasant surprise today. It was the first time in her life that Cheng Xiaoxiao had witnessed the herd mentality, and the audience was influenced so thoroughly.

Why did these people listen to Gu Hunge so much?

Had it not for the fact that there were so many people today, Cheng Xiaoxiao would have thought that Gu Hunge had colluded with these people long ago.

On the other side, Chu Yunshen was not irritated. He just quietly waited for Gu Hunge to make a request because he wanted to know what kind of tricks were up his sleeves.

However, if one looked closely, one could notice the dangerous light that flashed across Chu Yunshen’s dark eyes. It was as if he was a ferocious beast that was aiming at his prey and could pounce on it at any time.

Gu Hunge responded happily to Xiaowu. He was a nuisance, to begin with. He had heard all kinds of curses and swears, so for him, Xiaowu’s sarcasm sounded like a child’s play.

“Change the programs to something that aren’t fake then. After all, you are the circus troupe, not me. I’m sure you can come up with something interesting.”

Gu Hunge openly admitted to Xiaowu’s accusations and then suggested in return.

“Hey!”

Xiaowu was not as shameless as Gu Hunge. He was rendered speechless by Gu Hunge’s retort, so he angrily retreated to Mu Bai’s side and signaled him to go up against Gu Hunge.

Mu Bai shook his head slightly at Xiaowu and gestured for Xiaowu to look at Chu Yunshen.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was also waiting for Chu Yunshen to speak. Xiaowu’s ability to sass someone was still very weak, and he was not even half as good as Mu Bai. However, it was up to Chu Yunshen, the leader, to decide. They couldn’t go on with the wordplay forever.

“Xiao Wu, you and Mu Wu go and perform the stone crashing on the chest.”

Chu Yunshen calmly ordered. He also deliberately glanced at Gu Hunge as if asking for his opinion.

Gu Hunge shrugged indifferently and stretched out his arm towards Chu Yunshen, as if gesturing for him to proceed.

Chu Yunshen seemed to have been always giving in today. This was too big a nuisance!

Cheng Xiaoxiao went back to the entrance of the maze to prepare for her show. In her heart, she wanted to end this show quickly so that she could comfort Chu Yunshen after they went back.

Chu Yunshen was such a proud person. He must have felt defeated now that he had been suppressed by these barbaric Hu people today.

What was she supposed to do to console Chu Yunshen so that he would be in a better mood?

Chu Yunshen seemed to like playing with her meat pads, rubbing her head, and pinching her ears…

Whatever it was, she would let him do whatever he wanted as long as it could cheer him up!

She would let him snuggle up to her when she got back to him!

“Wait for me!”

After setting this small goal for herself, Cheng Xiaoxiao waited for Tingzhu’s gong to start her performance. Besides, she glanced at the worrisome Chu Yunshen again.

Chu Yunshen accepted the Persian cat’s sudden affection and gave her an encouraging look.

As for Gu Hunge.

Chu Yunshen simply glanced at him indifferently, and then began to scan the crowd meticulously.

From the looks of it, Chu Yunshen could tell that Gu Hunge’s series of actions was pre-planned. He wasn’t sure if the man’s target was the furry thing or his entire circus troupe, but no matter what it was, Gu Hunge would only have one outcome—death.

Therefore, Chu Yunshen’s mission was to identify and locate Gu Hunge’s companions in the crowd. He refused to believe that Gu Hunge would act so unscrupulously by himself.

In fact, the crowd was unanimously united against them as if they had rehearsed beforehand.

Since when did the Hu people become so united?

A trace of ridicule flashed through Chu Yunshen’s eyes. Although he gazed at the crowd casually, he was watching them seriously.

Tingzhu’s gong sounded behind Chu Yunshen. He knew that the little fellow should have already entered the maze. However, at this time, he paid attention to Gu Hunge in case he would miss out on any important information if he turned around to look at the cat.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunshen frowned in agitation. Perhaps it was because of the human skin mask that concealed his expression, so that he looked more relaxed than before.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed since Chu Yunshen did not look at her at all, but she would not be angry over such a small matter. Sprucing herself up, she began her short journey in the maze one step at a time with her head held high.

“Do you think the cat can come out?”

Of course, De Ertai knew how intelligent the Persian cat was. However, he could also see the complexity of the maze, so he asked He Lulu with interest.

He Lulu had been paying close attention to the cat, and now he was angry and indignant when he spotted the sadness in the cat’s eyes. Suddenly, he was taken aback when he heard De Ertai speak to him in awkward Chu language.

“You can speak to me in dialect.”

He Lulu spoke in a very low and fast tone. It was hard enough for De Ertai to learn the Chu language. He couldn’t immediately tell what He Lulu was talking about, so he stared at him in a daze.

Under De Ertai’s gaze, He Lulu thought for a moment and answered instead of repeating what he had just said.

“The cat can come out. I believe in it!”

De Ertai could understand this, but he couldn’t understand why He Lulu was so confident of the cat. Of course, he didn’t know that He Lulu had been completely captivated by the Persian cat.

In reference to the modern world, the burly He Lulu was like a fanatic fanboy who was obsessed with his idol, Cheng Xiaoxiao. As Cheng Xiaoxiao’s top fan, He Lulu had to defend his “idol” when he heard that De Ertai had no faith in her!

De Ertai was too clueless to say anything. He Lulu was so strange now that he could not figure him out. He could only ask He Lulu to observe the progress on the stage with him. After all, the real show had not yet begun.

Cheng Xiaoxiao racked her brain in the maze to find the right way out, completely unaware of what was happening outside the maze.

Chu Yunshen, who had been scanning the crowd for a long time, finally found something strange. He found that Gu Hunge twisted his body unnaturally when Xiaowu and Mu Bai lifted the stone slab. When Mu Bai and Songtao worked together to put the stone slab on Xiaowu, Gu Hunge pretended to scratch his head. In fact, he made a gesture to someone in the crowd.

Finally!

Looking in the direction of the gesture, Chu Yunshen found two sneaky people. He looked at Xiaowu immediately, who was now lying on two benches. The shiny thick stone slab was pressed against his chest, and Mu Bai was holding a stone hammer at the side, waiting for Chu Yunshen’s orders.

It was the same for Tingzhu, but he was holding a gong and the gong hammer.

Tingzhu and Mu Bai noticed the slight change in Chu Yunshen’s expression. They exchanged glances and were about to go over, but Chu Yunshen was one step ahead of them.

Seeing Chu Yunshen walking over, the three of them came over to Xiaowu. Although Xiaowu was still lying there, he raised the stone slab slightly with both hands and raised his neck and head, trying to see Chu Yunshen and the others clearly.

“Leader, what do you want us to do?”

Tingzhu asked respectfully in a low voice.

“Don’t alert the enemy and listen carefully.” Chu Yunshen paused for a moment and began to describe to Tingzhu and the others, “There are two people in the third row from the outermost circle in the northwest direction. They are Gu Hunge’s accomplices.”

“I’ll go!”

As soon as Chu Yunshen finished speaking, the three almost blurted out the same remarks at the same time. After lowering their voices, they seemed to be very surprised at each other’s tacit understanding, so they looked at each other again. Of course, this did not include Xiaowu who was lying down on the benches.
