Chapter 1174 — Performing a Circus: Gou Huli was instantly overjoyed, and leading the lion along with great swagger, she came into the courtyard of Gu Mengyao's villa.

Having said this, Gou Huli looked at Shen Yushu with no small smugness. This was Yang Guo's trump card from the Jin Yong novels. She had never expected that Gou Huli would get to use it, and wield it so deftly at that! Once the words were out, she waited eagerly for Shen Yushu to fall into the trap.
"The old hag standing right in front of me is cursing me!" Shen Yushu answered with an innocent air. "You old hag, you're the little punk, you're the old punk!"
"Gah!" At Shen Yushu's words, Gou Huli was so furious that smoke all but poured from her seven orifices. The little wretch had not answered the way she had pictured at all; instead she had flung the insult right back at her. That being so, if she cursed her as a little punk again, would that not amount to admitting that she herself was the old hag?
At that thought, Gou Huli gave a cold snort. "Clever tongue! I won't waste words on you! Little lion, come teach this girl a lesson!"
"Ao-wu-roar—!" The lion in Gou Huli's grasp bellowed at Shen Yushu.
"A lion?" Shen Yushu blinked, not frightened in the least. She studied the lion in Gou Huli's grip with some curiosity and asked, "This is really a lion?"
"Hmph! So what if it is? What, scared?" Gou Huli said smugly. In front of Shen Yushu, she had no qualms about admitting the beast in her hands was a lion.
"It's great fun, thank you! Old hag, you've brought me such a fun pet." Shen Yushu said cheerfully. "My house just happens to be short a good compound guard. This one will do!"
"Are you sick in the head, girl? I came today to teach you a lesson. You think I'm here delivering you a lion? Is there something wrong with your IQ?" Gou Huli shouted. "Lion, get her! Start by eating this girl's dog!"
In broad daylight, with so many eyes on them, Gou Huli still did not quite dare let the lion eat Shen Yushu. She knew Shen Yushu's standing, after all, that she was of the Chen family, and though the Xiao family was arrogant these days, it could not go too far out in the open. But eating one of her pet dogs, that would be no problem at all!
As for what happened in the dark, if the lion could bite Shen Yushu to death, Gou Huli would be delighted!
"Roar—" The lion roared at General Mighty and advanced on it step by step.
"Damn! Why are you so long-winded, you old hag? General Mighty, go tame this lion for me. I need a compound guard!" Shen Yushu commanded General Mighty.
"Woof, woof!" General Mighty answered, and without a trace of fear it went to meet the lion.
"Uh—" Before this, General Mighty had been lying there, and the lion had paid it no mind. But now the dangerous aura General Mighty gave off made the lion's hair stand on end! An animal's sixth sense is the keenest of all; they can feel what is a danger to them and what is not!
And this dog before it made the lion sense enormous danger! Though it was the king of the grasslands, in the face of a dog so full of killing intent, the lion still shrank back a little.
After two steps, the lion did not dare to go any farther, and instead kept a wary eye on General Mighty.
