“He saved me because he annihilated the Yue Kingdom, but he protects Dr. Su because he loves her.” In the distance, figures were no longer visible, yet Sheng Ping still couldn’t resist craning her neck to catch a glimpse.
Even if she could just see the dust kicked up behind Chu Yihan.
After Su Yingxue and Lin Sisi entered the forest, they showed off their skills. There were palace guards following behind them to pick up the prey they hunted.
In half an hour, their baskets held a harvest of twenty or thirty creatures!
Chu Xiuwen looked at his and Chu Chengye’s prey. It was only half of theirs!
There was a trace of anxiety in his eyes. “Seventh Brother, what’s gotten into you today? You’re absent-minded. Are you going to lose to those two obnoxious girls?!”
Chu Chengye snapped back to attention. Chu Xiuwen’s shout threw off his aim.
Swoosh—
Su Yingxue’s arrow struck the target he had lined up moments before. She even promptly had someone retrieve the prey.
Chu Chengye couldn’t help but exclaim, “Su Yingxue, that’s my catch!”
“Your Highness, is your eyesight lacking? The arrow on that prey belongs to me, Su Yingxue! If Your Highness wants prey, aim more precisely!”
Su Yingxue sneered, turned her horse, and galloped away.
The gusty wind billowed her long hair, and her gallant figure was captivating, even from behind.
Chu Chengye felt as though a cat’s claw had raked across his heart.
He cursed his d*mned infatuation with Su Yingxue!
“Swoosh!”
Another empty shot. Chu Xiuwen’s aim was off, and the rabbit escaped.
He was infuriated. “D*mn it!”
He was about to pursue the prey when he saw Chu Chengye still dazed. He couldn’t help but roar, “Seventh Brother! If you keep dawdling, get ready to kowtow to those two wretched girls!”
Chu Chengye’s heart sank. Clenching his teeth, he followed Chu Xiuwen.
For a full hour, they raced through the forest. During a break, Su Yingxue and Lin Sisi showcased prey twice the amount of theirs!
Chu Xiuwen’s gums were about to bleed. He couldn’t believe that these two wretched girls were so good at hunting!
Especially Su Yingxue!
This wretched woman was participating in a hunt for the first time, but why was her horsemanship and archery so extraordinary?
He was well-acquainted with all the women in Jiang Du City, meticulously observing their every word and action. Yet this Su Yingxue… she was utterly unforeseen!
Su Yingxue knew Chu Xiuwen was watching her. She didn’t know how many times she’d made a disdainful gesture at him, inciting his anger to the point where he broke three fine bows!
Lin Sisi was excited about hunting and came to look for Su Yingxue, only to find that she was secretly competing with Chu Xiuwen.
She could not help but ask what she saw, “Dr. Su, why are you specifically targeting the Third Prince today? Don’t you hold a grudge against the Seventh Prince?”
Su Yingxue smiled. “Sisi, birds of a feather flock together. I despise both of them, so it’s only natural to target them without hesitation!”
Her reasoning was plain, and Lin Sisi instantly grasped it!
“Dr. Su, how do you intend to deal with the Third Prince? Please let me know! This guy is truly detestable! One of my cousins was ensnared by him, her innocence violated, and then he discarded her. She still hasn’t been able to marry!” Lin Sisi’s teeth were gritted as she spoke!
She regretted not having the ability to seek vengeance for both herself and her cousin earlier!
Now… she wouldn’t let him go!
Su Yingxue nodded. “Alright, let’s lure him deep into the woods later!”
Lin Sisi wasted no time talcing action.
Their provocative words and the fact that they were showing off their prey made Chu Xiuwen lose his rationality. He abandoned the idea of comparing the number of prey and rode his horse straight toward the area where the ferocious beasts were..
