TSFLIP Chapter 848

Feng Guang couldn’t fathom the Emperor’s thoughts, but she understood one thing: today, Baili Min had been forcing her to make a choice — more precisely, he wanted her to choose to leave Baili Mo. Because of her father’s position, Baili Min did not want to take action against her personally.

As she walked between the palace walls, still tangled in her thoughts, a group approaching from the opposite direction caught her attention. Every man in the group wore dark uniforms, swords hanging at their waists, looking sharp and imposing. At the front, the leader was holding the leash of a tall hunting dog. She didn’t know the breed, but when it opened its mouth and revealed its sharp fangs, it definitely wasn’t the kind of dog that made dog lovers want to reach out and pet it.

This group did not look easy to deal with. Feng Guang was about to step aside to give them space when the dog suddenly broke free from the leash and charged straight at her. Before she could react, it clamped down on her sleeve.

Feng Guang turned pale with shock and shouted at the stunned group, “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and pull it off!”

The leader snapped back to his senses. “Hu Yao, let go!”

He rushed forward to grab the rope around the dog’s neck, but before his hand could reach it, the hunting dog had already started dragging Feng Guang by her sleeve, pulling her in another direction. Don’t ask why Feng Guang didn’t fight back — she was a slender, weak young woman, and this was a large dog that came up to her waist. The fact that she wasn’t being dragged along the ground was already a miracle.

So a rather absurd scene unfolded inside the imperial palace: Feng Guang was being dragged along by a dog, while a line of uniformed imperial guards chased after her. Together, they ran toward the beautiful sight of the setting sun.

Even the sun seemed to “clock out” with a satisfied smile — young people these days were really getting more and more into exercise.

The dog dragged Feng Guang into increasingly remote parts of the palace. Inside, she was cursing nonstop. As vicious as Hu Yao looked, with so many men around, they should have been able to restrain it easily. Yet the group behind her did nothing but run after her — completely useless.

What she didn’t know was that they were afraid of hurting the dog because of who its owner was. If they were careless and injured it, the consequences would be severe. But the Crown Princess was also important — if something happened to her, it would cause huge trouble. So the only thing the guards could do was chase helplessly from behind.

In fact, they eventually stopped running altogether, because the dog dragged Feng Guang into a bamboo grove.

A young guard asked the leader, “Commander, what should we do? Aren’t we going after them?”

The man with the rank of commander was silent for a second, then said, “If you don’t value your life, you can try chasing them in.”

“…” The young guard quietly retreated to the back.

The whole group fell completely silent.

After entering the bamboo grove, Feng Guang no longer saw any guards behind her. Inside, she screamed “What the hell?!” several times in her mind. The dog kept dragging her until they reached a bamboo house. It seemed they had arrived at their destination. The dog finally stopped running and released her sleeve.

Hu Yao circled her, wagging its tail wildly, and let out low, soft whines from time to time.

Feng Guang asked nervously, “What do you want to do?”

“Woof…” Hu Yao sat down in front of her, tail wagging as it looked at her.

This dog… didn’t seem to mean her any harm?

Feng Guang cautiously reached out and gently placed her hand on the dog’s head.

“Woof!” Hu Yao lifted its head and licked her palm.

A large dog acting so cute was such a contrast that Feng Guang was instantly charmed. After confirming that Hu Yao didn’t want to eat her, she finally relaxed and looked around. The dog had brought her to a bamboo house, and judging by the surroundings, it looked like its kennel.

She didn’t understand why Hu Yao had brought her here, so she asked out loud, “Why did you bring me to your doghouse?”

“So, my Cuizhu Pavilion is a doghouse now?” a clear, refined voice sounded from behind her.

The voice was pleasant to hear, but for some reason, Feng Guang’s nerves went taut. She suddenly felt as if the temperature had dropped.
