Chapter 74:
Sister, elephant, the elephant is drinking water! exclaimed the Little Princess excitedly.
Changle, linking arms with Su Li, cheerfully introduced him, Meet Deputy Commander-in-Chief. These majestic elephants are a tribute from South Vietnam. Despite their massive size, they possess gentle personalities. There are dedicated trainers in the Forest Garden who handle their training. They accompany His Majesty during his tours and are part of festival processions. The forest garden even holds elephant fights and performances, which are quite entertaining. This particular elephant is an extraordinary rarity, a once-in-a-century giant!
Su Li glanced at the elephant, acknowledging its impressive stature. In the Han and Tang Dynasties, elephants held great significance as auspicious symbols. The role of elephants was comparable with other auspicious symbols such as dragons, unicorns, phoenixes, and auspicious clouds. They were considered pets exclusive to the royal family.
However, Su Lis reaction was different. Modern zoos were incomplete without a few elephants. Su Li chuckled. After all, no matter how dignified Changle might usually be, she was still a young girl who had recently come of age.
Go ahead and look, Su Li encouraged, not showing much interest. Forest Gardens design cleverly gave it the feeling of a wildlife park. In the distance, Su Li spotted a vividly colored tiger, partially hidden on the mountainside.
Changle and the Little Princess had already run over to the elephant that was drinking water. Despite being three years old, the Little Princess was hardly half as thick as the elephants leg. Yet, she showed no fear and excitedly circled the elephant.
Changle, although familiar with elephants, was seeing such a tall one for the first time.
Lin Yuans elephants were well-trained and unafraid of humans, being friendly even towards the young princess, allowing her to stay close.
The Little Princess was thrilled, maintaining some distance due to the elephants imposing size. Suddenly, a distant neighing sound was heard.
Su Lis expression changed slightly. Not good, he muttered before rushing towards the elephant.
At the same time, the elephant where the Little Princess became agitated as if facing a natural enemy. Another thunderous neigh echoed.
The elephant lifted its head and let out a mournful roar. It twisted its body, shoving the guard away and throwing off the animal trainer riding it. Then, in a frenzy, the elephant raised its front legs high.
Little Princess! The unexpected scene left everyone shocked.
The Little Princess gazed up at the sky, where the elephants immense shadow seemed to cover everything. The sudden turn of events stunned everyone.
In that instant, in the eyes of Little Princess, the passage of time appeared to slow down suddenly. She witnessed her sisters terrified face yelling at her and observed several guards fearlessly rushing towards her.
However, she only experienced an icy sensation all over her body, rendering her immobile. The notion of impending death surged from within her. For some inexplicable reason, the beautiful eyes of Little Princess widened significantly, filled with sheer terror.
It wasnt until this moment that the Little Princess opened her mouth and began crying as she rushed towards Su Li.
At this point, her brother-in-law, who had just stood before her, provided her with the greatest sense of security.
Its okay, its okay! Su Li patted the Little Princesss head.
Hilary!
The explosive neigh resounded once more. This time, the sound was even closer. Following the sound, Su Li looked over and widened his eyes.
On the grassy field in the distance, a pure white steed, gleaming in the sunlight, was galloping towards them. Initially, it was several hundred paces away.
In almost the span of a few breaths, it had raced up close.
Su Li blinked.
A white dragon?
At that moment, Su Li exclaimed, Goodness!
The way the system described the appearance of living creatures was unexpectedly exciting!
However, it must be said that products from the system were bound to be of high quality.
Su Li wasnt skilled at horsemanship and couldnt determine whether the white dragon before him could carry ten thousand catties or travel thousands of miles.
However, just from its height that exceeded him by two heads and its pure white hair without a single stray strand, anyone would marvel at it being a magnificent steed.
Its running posture was exceptionally agile, and every muscle seemed to grow in the golden ratio.
A single horse, running with the aura of a king of beasts!
No wonder, even from this distance, its neighing alone could make the elephants tremble and become agitated.
