After Marrying a Vegetative Princess, I went crazy with joy! - Chapter 75

Chapter 75

When White Dragon spotted Su Li, it let out a joyful chirp and dashed straight towards him.

“Be careful, dear!” Changle couldn’t help but softly exclaim.

That horse appeared to be a magnificent steed, exuding extraordinary energy. Not to mention the horse’s significant weight, a collision at its thundering speed would be unbearable for anyone. As one challenge subsided, another swiftly emerged.

The little princess in Su Li’s arms still displayed traces of fear on her face, instinctively covering her eyes with a tiny hand.

In the next moment, White Dragon reached Su Li’s side. From several yards away, Defying expectations, White Dragon abruptly halted and strolled gracefully over to Su Li, voluntarily bowing its head.

“White Dragon!” Su Li grinned as he caressed the horse’s head.

Even though he was mentally prepared beforehand, Su Li still felt excitement at the first sight of White Dragon.

【Divine Foal White Dragon has been awarded. Kindly check and accept!】 echoed the system’s notification.

At this point, the people around had various expressions, but their gazes toward Su Li were universally awestruck.

The allusion to Siddhartha taming an elephant was well-known, even to those unfamiliar with Buddhism. Among the guards, some who held Buddhist beliefs saw Su Li’s feat and nearly regarded him as a reincarnation of Siddhartha.

Furthermore, with the mystical horse approaching and acting so docility in Su Li’s presence, the situation took on an almost legendary quality.

Had it not been witnessed firsthand, few would likely believe it if spoken about!

White Dragon glanced at the little one, then suddenly let out a resounding snort.

On the elongated horse’s face, a surprisingly human expression appeared – almost as if it were jealous, dissatisfied with its owner and a human youngster bonding so closely.

The young one’s face paled again, and she promptly nestled her head into Su Li’s embrace.

Having experienced the recent turmoil, the Little Princess was still shaken and instinctively sought security. With her parents absent, it was only natural for her to turn towards Su Li, who had recently saved her during the elephant incident.

Su Li patted the Little Princess’s back reassuringly with one hand while using his other to exert a sudden force on the horse’s head.

Under immense pressure, White Dragon’s four hooves began to give way as if he was about to kneel. But then, the force above his head suddenly eased, and White Dragon let out a subdued neigh, his gaze towards Su Li holding a hint of complaint.

“Just born and already causing trouble. Consider this a small reprimand, and remember not to act recklessly in the future!” Su Li said in a calm tone.

While the divine horse was a product of the system and bound by loyalty, it didn’t mean White Dragon lacked his own personality. He merely heeded Su Li’s words.

With Su Li’s words hanging in the air, White Dragon moved closer and nuzzled against Su Li’s neck with his horse’s head. The long mane brushed the Little Princess’s face, tickling her despite her shock. She couldn’t resist lifting her head again, making eye contact with the horse.

Suddenly, shouts erupted in the distance. The divine horse was headed in their direction!

“Both princesses are over there! Protect them!” Chaotic sounds of galloping hooves filled the air as a dozen horsemen rode towards them on swift steeds, ropes tied to their bodies and armed with strong bows and crossbows.

“Princess, be cautious! This horse has an explosive temperament. Don’t let it harm you!” The leading horseman warned, instructing the guards to shield Changle and the Little Princess.

Meanwhile, the horsemen raised their crossbows, all focusing their sharp gazes on White Dragon.

Once they detected any unusual behavior from White Dragon, they were prepared to shoot it down mercilessly. Just a moment ago, this divine horse had suddenly entered the racecourse of Lin Yuan.

The equestrians were all skilled at horse handling and could immediately recognize the extraordinary nature of White Dragon. They armed themselves and prepared to capture White Dragon alive.

Unexpectedly, more than a dozen riding slaves, experts at taming horses, couldn’t do anything against this particular horse. Their attempts to encircle and intercept it also ended up angering White Dragon.

This divine horse was incredibly fast and powerful, with momentum even more fearsome than typical horse champions. Many prized horses raised in Forest Garden couldn’t muster the courage to face it.

Even when the riding slaves switched to using battle-hardened warhorses, they could barely manage to form an encircling pattern. As for the outcome… well, it’s quite a sad story.

Under White Dragon’s erratic charges, it tragically killed eight warhorses and injured six equestrians. Later, the horsemen resorted to using crossbows, but even the formidable crossbows that were usually effective on the battlefield posed no threat to White Dragon.

With a simple motion, White Dragon could easily outrun the range of their arrows. Not only that, but White Dragon swiftly left the confines of the stable area, leaving these riding slaves utterly terrified.

Forest Garden was a royal place for leisure and recreation. If this wild horse were to collide with nobles, their outcomes would not be favorable.

The riding slaves, however, pursued White Dragon and saw it approaching Princess Changle and the Little Princess. This sight left them even more frightened.

But as they got closer, the scene before them was puzzling. The same horse that had acted violently just moments ago now appeared extremely gentle. It lowered its head, allowing Princess Changle’s consort to pet it.

This contradictory scene left them baffled. After all, this was the same horse that had violently killed eight horses and injured six riders.

“I have tamed this horse. There’s no need to worry,” Su Li said with a light smile. Since White Dragon was a creation of the system, as long as he was with his master, there would be no problems. Leaving White Dragon in Forest Garden, Su Li didn’t even need to consider it.

Li Er was also a horse enthusiast, owning the famous six steeds. He would surely be delighted to see White Dragon. Considering Li Er’s shameless actions, even duping his own daughter for money, Su Li wouldn’t be surprised if Li Er tried to claim ownership of White Dragon.

However, upon closer thought, the White Dragon was a divine horse created by the system. It was far superior to regular horses, capable of carrying immense weight and traveling vast distances. Su Li didn’t look down on Li Er, but he believed that Li Er might be unable to best this horse in combat.

Moreover, White Dragon was already his own. He would never let Li Er take advantage of him again. Li Er still hadn’t returned the money he borrowed from Su Li’s wife. There was no chance Li Er would benefit from them in the future.

With this incident, the play naturally couldn’t continue. The Little Princess clung to Su Li like a koala bear, unwilling to come down.

Su Li realized the child was terrified, so he quickly pulled out a few pieces of candy and gave one to the Little Princess, urging her to eat it to calm her nerves.

Just then, in the depths of Su Li’s mind, the points on the system panel suddenly started increasing rapidly.

Su Li held Changle in one hand and Little Princess in the other…

The points… had a double critical strike!
