Chapter 184: Chapter 166, Over? It’s done for!_1
Daohua climbed up the tree, tightly grasping the branches, and with a push, she agilely leaped onto the top of the courtyard wall, where she crouched down, steadying herself atop the wall.
The yoga of her past life and the martial arts she learned from Wang Manman in this life had not been practiced in vain.
Just as Daohua was feeling proud of her agility, a deep and hoarse growl reached her ears, and looking down, she saw two big, dark dogs staring up at her with heads raised, teeth bared, and drool dripping.
Oh my goodness!
Daohua shivered and nearly fell off the wall, thankfully, her balance was good, and she caught herself with her hands on time as her body leaned backward.
“What are you doing?”
Xiao Yeyang quickly climbed up the tree and then nimbly jumped to the top of the wall. As soon as he stabilized himself, he saw Daohua throwing things into the yard.
“Shh, there’s a wicked dog in the way, and I’m in the middle of a battle of wits with it!”
“Pfft—”
The laughter that followed couldn’t be held back by Defu, who let out a chuckle.
Sometimes he found that no matter how dire the situation, Miss Yan always managed to make people burst into laughter.
In the shadows, the man in black also staggered, nearly exposing his whereabouts.
Where did the little master find such a treasure?
To match wits with dogs, she’s really something, isn’t she?
Only Wang Manman said with a calm face, “It’s just two fierce dogs. Just watch how I deal with them.” With that, she leaped down into the yard.
Then the face-off with the two dogs commenced.
Just as Wang Manman was about to pick up a rock at her feet to smash on the dogs’ heads, the dogs staggered left and right as if they were drunk and then fell to the ground, not getting up again!
Wang Manman stood dumbfounded, and when Daohua and the others came down, she said blankly, “These dogs are utterly useless; I haven’t even made my move yet.”
Daohua patted her shoulder, “Don’t blame them. Who made you emit such a strong ‘Little Tyrant’ aura that directly knocked them out?”
“Pfft—”
“Cough, cough—”
The sound of laughter and coughing erupted simultaneously.
Daohua looked speechlessly at Xiao Yeyang, whose face had an odd color, and at Defu, whose shoulders twitched again.
Is that really necessary?
“Let’s go!”
Daohua, shaking her head, led the way and sighed to herself, thinking that the ancients really had too low a tolerance for jokes.
Xiao Yeyang and the others exchanged glances.
Following that, Xiao Yeyang glanced at the two black dogs that had fainted and quickly followed Daohua.
Wang Manman scratched her head and looked towards Defu, “Is this ‘Little Tyrant’ aura really that powerful? How come I was unaware that I possess it?”
Defu’s lips twitched, and he shrugged, “If you don’t know, I know even less.” Saying so, he ran off in a flash.
Wang Manman pouted, “I’ll ask the lady later!”
After the four of them left, the man in black arose from the bushes in the corner.
Indeed, he had stood up.
Just now, he too was overwhelmed by the ‘Little Tyrant’ aura mentioned by Daohua and had accidentally fallen from the wall. If it weren’t for the distance, he was afraid he might have been discovered.
The man in black looked around cautiously, then patted his chest.
Fortunately, no one had seen him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to show his face.
The man in black walked hastily to the black dogs, checked their breathing, and then rolled their bodies over, before exclaiming, “What strong sleeping powder!”
It had taken only moments to knock out two big hunting dogs trained to guard and protect. This drug was several times more potent than any he had collected.
…
Meanwhile, Daohua and the group of four, including Xiao Yeyang, were secretly huddled in a corner, cautiously observing the comings and goings of people in the yard.
“What did you do to those two dogs?” Xiao Yeyang couldn’t help but ask.
Daohua turned her head and smiled, “Guess?”
Xiao Yeyang was speechless, “I can’t guess.”
Daohua chuckled and took out a small packet of powder from her waist pouch, “This is what I used to deal with them.”
Looking at the medicine packet in Daohua’s hand, Xiao Yeyang was astounded, and even De Fu behind him widened his eyes.
“Sleeping… Sleeping Powder?”
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua with an indescribable expression, and seeing the smug smile on this guy’s face, he was rendered utterly speechless.
“You’re a girl, and you carry Sleeping Powder with you, what are you planning to do?” Xiao Yeyang asked in an extremely complex tone, suppressing his voice.
Daohua gave Xiao Yeyang a ‘you’re so silly’ look, “Nonsense, it’s obviously for self-protection! Think about it, even you, a Little Prince, could be kidnapped by traffickers, which just shows how dangerous the world is.”
“Today is the Lantern Festival, the streets are crowded; it’s the perfect opportunity for child traffickers. I’m not familiar with the provincial government, so in case of emergency, I have to be prepared, right?”
“And it was fortunate that I brought Sleeping Powder, otherwise, with those two black dogs guarding, we wouldn’t have been able to enter the yard!”
Looking at the righteous Daohua, Xiao Yeyang felt he needed to take a moment. After a while, he looked Daohua up and down seriously and asked, “Are you really a girl?”
He was starting to think that this person’s way of doing things and his mindset were wilder than his own!
Being doubted about her gender, Daohua really wanted to puff out her chest like they did in the TV and movies, but unfortunately, she was still too young and underdeveloped to do so. Otherwise, she would surely have made Xiao Yeyang question his life.
Daohua held her face and blinked her eyes, “Have you ever seen a boy who looks as beautiful as a flower, with bright eyes and white teeth, standing slim and graceful, adorable and cute, like a fairy’s handmaiden?”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang involuntarily shuddered and then, trembling, pointed a finger at Daohua, his face filled with disbelief, “You… you… why is your skin so thick?”
Daohua snorted, “That’s what you call thick-skinned? You really have limited experience!” After saying that, she thumped Xiao Yeyang on the back of his head.
Xiao Yeyang took several deep breaths, his lips moving several times before he finally closed his mouth helplessly.
He sadly discovered that he couldn’t win an argument against Daohua, who was four years younger than him.
“Shush!”
Suddenly, Daohua made a silence gesture and pointed at the second floor of the yard, “The person you’re looking for.”
Only then did Xiao Yeyang regain his composure, his gaze coldly fixed on the room on the second floor that had just closed its door.
“What do you plan to do?”
Xiao Yeyang withdrew his gaze, glanced at Daohua who was shrinking her neck, and chuckled, “Getting scared now, are you?”
Daohua smiled; of course, she wasn’t afraid anymore.
Her third and fourth brothers had already told her that De Fu knew martial arts and that he was pretty good. That meant even if a conflict occurred, they likely wouldn’t be in any trouble.
Moreover, from the way those brocade-clad young masters were driven from the Chong Building without daring to express their anger, it was clear they knew Xiao Yeyang’s identity and didn’t dare to confront him openly.
With these factors in mind, what was there to be scared of?
Daohua stood up straight, “I’m not scared; it’s just that we need to employ strategy in what we do. For example, those people are indeed annoying, but we can’t dirty our hands because of them.”
Xiao Yeyang watched Daohua without saying a word.
Daohua: “…Do you understand what I mean?”
Xiao Yeyang suddenly smiled, “What do you think I’m going to do? Kill them?”
Daohua’s cheeks stiffened, and she kept glancing up at Xiao Yeyang, measuring her words, “I think… you wouldn’t be that foolish.”
Xiao Yeyang snorted with laughter but said nothing.
Daohua quickly took off the waist pouch, “I have other good stuff here.”
Xiao Yeyang stared blankly for a long moment before speechless, “What else have you brought?”
Daohua took out a pill the size of a fingertip and a section of bamboo tube as thick as a thumb from her pouch and raised her eyebrows at Xiao Yeyang, “Do you know what this is?”
Xiao Yeyang was expressionless, “What?”
Daohua stuffed the medicine pill and bamboo tube into Xiao Yeyang’s hand excitedly, “I’ve named this concoction ‘Game Over’! Just toss this pill into those people’s room, and the powder will immediately spread. Anyone who comes into contact with it will itch unbearably all over.”
“Tell me, isn’t this more satisfying than barging in and beating them up?”
