"You... this is outrageous!"
The second princess touched her disheveled hair, trembling with anger.
"Second Princess, please don't be angry! You almost shot me to death just now, and I'm not even angry. Why are you being so petty, Second Princess? I didn't do it on purpose!"
It was intentional!
Su Liluo feigned innocence, but a cold smile lurked in her eyes.
She was simply giving him a taste of his own medicine!
"snort!"
The second princess couldn't refute it. Seeing Su Liluo's face made her furious, so she could only snort and leave.
She had to clean up her disheveled appearance first before coming back to figure out how to deal with Su Liluo.
"Luo'er, you were really amazing just now! It was so satisfying! I never knew you were such a good arrow thrower!"
When Chu Yan saw the Second Princess leave in anger, she thought of Su Liluo's arrow-throwing skills and was immediately filled with admiration.
"No, I was just lucky. Judging from the Second Princess's condition, she'll definitely come back to take revenge on me later. Look, your sworn sister and the others are injured. I'm afraid you'll be implicated later."
"How about this, have your sworn sister and Miss Zheng stay away from us, and we'll split into two groups. That way, when the Second Princess returns, she'll only target me and won't implicate you."
Su Liluo glanced at Chu Yun, who was slowly getting up from the ground, and said.
She clearly saw the fleeting joy on Chu Yun's face.
Sure enough, Chu Yun had been scheming about this.
"In that case, let Yun'er and Miss Zheng go together, and I'll stay with you! I can't stand by and watch the Second Princess bully you. If anything happens later, I can testify for you, and we can always go to Father Emperor!"
Chu Yan thought about it and realized she couldn't abandon her best friend.
"Hmm, that works too. At least your sworn sister and Miss Zheng won't be implicated."
Su Liluo nodded.
Then she took out a sachet from her sleeve and handed it to Zheng Qinxue.
“Miss Zheng, you just took an arrow for me. If it weren’t for you, I probably would have been shot by the Second Princess. Consider this my way of thanking you! Wearing it will keep some insects in the forest away.”
Especially the big insects!
Su Liluo repeatedly instructed Zheng Qinxue to immediately wear the sachet around her waist, because it contained the item she had just obtained from the spatial artifact spirit that could ward off wild beasts.
Zheng Qinxue was a little confused. How could she have saved the Crown Princess?
She was bumped into Su Liluo, and if Su Liluo hadn't reacted quickly and pushed her away, she would have been shot.
In fact, she should be thanking the Crown Princess!
But Su Liluo spoke very quickly, giving her no chance to explain, and even winked at her, so she had no choice but to shut her mouth in frustration.
Next, Su Liluo and Chu Yan walked together, while Chu Yun and Zheng Qinxue walked on the other side.
Chu Yun was still happy that he had finally escaped them, unaware that danger was approaching him.
"Roar~"
Just as Chu Yun and Zheng Qinxue reached a lush, wooded area, they suddenly heard a low growl.
Zheng Qinxue was the first to hear it, and she trembled in fright.
"What...what is that sound?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yun frowned and looked around.
"Roar~"
Another low growl came, but this time the sound was clearly closer to them than before.
"Ah! A tiger...a tiger! There's a tiger!"
This time, Zheng Qinxue saw the tiger's body peeking out from behind the big tree, and was so frightened that she fell to the ground.
Then, he staggered to his feet, wanting to run away.
Chu Yun was also stunned, staring in disbelief at the tiger walking towards them from afar.
Shouldn't they be chasing after the older sister?
How did I end up here?
"Roar~"
Before Chu Yun could figure it out, the tiger suddenly quickened its pace and rushed towards them.
"Ah! Help!"
Chu Yun started running wildly, and Zheng Qinxue grabbed a tree beside her, trying to climb it.
The tiger ran over, and since Zheng Qinxue was in front of Chu Yun, the tiger naturally rushed to Zheng Qinxue first.
Zheng Qinxue fainted from fright after seeing the whites of her eyes.
But just as the tiger was about to bite her, it suddenly smelled the scent around her waist. The tiger gagged and then left Zheng Qinxue's side as if avoiding a plague.
Chu Yun was not so lucky; the tiger pounced on him without hesitation.
A scream rang out from the woods.
"Help me! Brother-in-law, help me!"
Chu Yun roared with all his might, using every ounce of strength he had ever possessed.
This sound was heard by many people.
Chu Yan and the others were no exception.
"That's Yoona's voice! Something's wrong with Yoona!"
Chu Yan said in alarm, not paying attention to Chu Yun calling her brother-in-law, her face full of worry.
Su Liluo glanced at Chu Yan, then shook her head in disappointment. This silly girl was so kind; she hadn't even suspected them yet.
So she had no choice but to take Chu Yan with her and go to investigate the source of the sound.
When they arrived at Chu Yun's place, they saw that King Xiao had appeared at some point, accompanied by several skilled guards who had already killed the tiger on the ground.
King Xiao held Chu Yun in his arms. Chu Yun was covered in blood and had already fainted.
"Yoona!"
Chu Yan rushed over worriedly.
"What happened? How come there's a tiger here? Waaah, is Yoona alright?!"
Chu Yan was terrified, her face filled with fear.
King Xiao glanced at Chu Yan with a complicated expression, trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart.
He said in a deep voice, "Take Yoon-ah out to find a doctor first!"
After saying that, he grabbed Yoon-ah and ran out anxiously, and Chu Yan couldn't keep up.
Su Liluo went over to support the frightened Chu Yan and reminded her, "Yan'er, don't worry. Prince Xiao seems to be more worried about your sworn sister than you are. She will be alright."
"......."
Chu Yan paused, looking at Xiao Wang's anxiously running figure, a sense of unease rising in her heart.
However, when she thought about how Chu Yan had just acted, she realized she shouldn't think that way.
So he said, "Yoona's injuries are so serious, it's normal for him to be worried. Let's hurry and go out to check on her!"
Su Lilu could only shake her head and sigh helplessly. It seemed that this silly Yan'er was still too kind!
After a frantic rush, King Xiao finally delivered the blood-covered Chu Yun to the Second Princess's estate and immediately found a doctor nearby.
The second princess had just changed her clothes and was about to enter the forest to set a few more traps for Su Liluo, but she never expected that her hunt would almost result in a death.
Now she had no other thoughts and could only follow to check on Chu Yun's condition.
The doctor bandaged Chu Yun's wounds. Her main injury was on her waist; she had been bitten by a tiger, leaving a large, gruesome tooth mark.
"What on earth is going on? Why did the tiger bite Yoona?!"
As soon as Chu Yan and the others entered the courtyard, they saw Prince Xiao angrily questioning the people on the Second Princess's estate.
