Shan Gao furrowed its brow and thought hard for a while.
At last, a ding sounded in its mind.
It had figured it out.
A lamb walking into a tiger's den.
That was right.
Shan Gao nodded.
It gave itself a thumbs-up for being so clever.
Wasn't going to Lord Xiao Xiao's home just like a lamb walking into a tiger's den?
