Chapter Fifty-Two: A Close Call



“That’s good,” Xu Yuehuai seemed to hear footsteps behind him, laughed loudly, and pointed at Wang Ping’an, “It’s just a pity that I’m upright and incorruptible. I was just joking with you. Wang Ping’an, you’re about to die, are you still trying to bribe me? I, Xu Yuehuai, cannot be corrupted by wealth or subdued by power.”

Wang Ping'an then realized that Xu Yuehuai was joking with him. He said seriously, "Grandma, I'm begging you, I can give you anything you want, even things you can think of or can't think of, I'll give you everything."

Is it really true?

"Absolutely true."

Unfortunately, in Xu Yuehuai's view, if you want something, you should strive for it yourself. Why wait for handouts? Besides, this is the hard-earned money of the people.

"Come with me to see the Censor-in-Chief, and let's see what Lord Qi will do to you."

Wang Ping'an immediately turned pale and cried, "Grandma, please...please spare my life!"

"Bullshit, get out of here."

Xu Yuehuai was enraged.

Wang Ping'an was, after all, a scholar, and was naturally no match for Xu Yuehuai. He was quickly subdued by Xu Yuehuai. Wang Ping'an looked around, preparing to escape, but at that moment, Xu Yuehuai smelled a strange stench.

The stench was complex, seemingly the smell of hot animal feces.

The stench wafted over from afar, and Xu Yuehuai immediately retched, feeling nauseous. At that moment, Wang Ping'an remained completely still.

In the darkness, a huge black shadow loomed over from above. The shadow was very burly, and it was impossible to see what it was. Xu Yuehuai also sensed the danger. Then, she lowered her voice and asked, "What is that?"

Judging from its size, it appears to be an enormous black bear.

At this moment, Wang Ping'an was clearly frightened. His voice stammered and was not smooth at all. "This... oh dear, this is... this is a wild bear. Wild bears are much more powerful than black bears and dog bears. Black bears and dog bears waste food, but wild bears will not refuse anyone. They are also fierce and irritable. And most importantly, don't move around. Wild bears are not blind. They can see us."

"That……"

If that's the logic, Xu Yuehuai continued, "What's the difference between us constantly changing our minds? Shouldn't we be running away now?"

"In short, don't move."

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yuehuai watched as the huge wild bear walked up to the two of them. The bear poked Wang Ping'an with its wet nostrils, and Wang Ping'an immediately wet himself in fright. Xu Yuehuai smelled a strong stench of urine.

Immediately afterwards, the wild bear slowly walked away.

Just as Xu Yuehuai relaxed his guard and prepared to leave, the wild bear suddenly turned around and rushed over, grabbing Wang Ping'an and about to devour him. Xu Yuehuai had a long knife in his hand, so he immediately slashed at it. The wild bear had thick skin and flesh, so this slash not only failed to hurt the bear, but also enraged it.

Immediately afterward, the wild bear roared and charged forward, its huge claws scratching the ground, leaving neat and sharp marks. Xu Yuehuai hurriedly dodged, while Wang Ping'an was so frightened that his hands and feet went weak and he collapsed, unable to even escape.

Seeing Wang Ping'an curled up, Xu Yuehuai took a deep breath and prepared to run over to Wang Ping'an and take him away.

But at that moment, the wild bear attacked.

She was skilled, but she had never fought an animal in her life. Moreover, this wild bear was incredibly strong and attacked like a whirlwind, which completely defeated Xu Yuehuai. Soon her eyes were injured, followed by a sharp pain in her chest, and her body was thrown out.

She groaned and fell to the ground. Seeing that Xu Yuehuai had been defeated, Wang Ping'an quickly moved closer and asked, "How are you feeling?"

"fine."

Xu Yuehuai quickly stood up.

At this moment, a cold and eerie smile appeared on Wang Ping'an's lips. If he took advantage of Xu Yuehuai's vulnerability to launch a sneak attack, wouldn't that be a sure thing? Thinking of this, Wang Ping'an immediately picked up a large rock, but by the time Wang Ping'an got close to Xu Yuehuai, the latter had already dodged away like lightning.

At this critical moment, the wild bear attacked again.

But this time the target of the attack was not Xu Yuehuai, but Wang Ping'an.

Wang Ping'an felt a chill run down his spine and fell out.

Even though Xu Yuehuai couldn't see anything, she still reached out to grab Wang Ping'an.

This guy must be taken away and await legal punishment; he must be brought before the imperial court.

Just as Xu Yuehua grabbed Wang Ping'an's sleeve, the clothes tore with a ripping sound. Xu Yuehua immediately rushed over to grab him, but then heard Wang Ping'an scream. Immediately afterward, a tremendous force caused most of her body to fall towards some unknown place.

“Ah Yue”.

I could hear Qi Guze's shouts.

Xu Yuehuai hurriedly reached out, searching for anything she could grab in the air. Her hand grasped a vine, despite the burning pain in her tiger's mouth and palm, despite the gravitational force that nearly cracked her elbow, and despite not being able to see herself falling into the abyss, she still gritted her teeth and gripped the vine tightly.

On the cliff, Qi Guze's arrival startled the wild bear.

The wild bear, still reeling from Xu Yuehuai's antics, turned and roared as it entered the dense forest upon hearing someone approaching. Qi Guze hurriedly made his way towards the cliff.

By the time he got close to the cliff, he could no longer see Xu Yuehuai.

At this moment, Wang Ping'an grabbed Xu Yuehuai's wrist tightly, "Girl, grandma, it's all yours, my money, my family property, everything is yours, please don't let go of me."

"Shut up! Don't move around and waste my energy. Where is this?" Xu Yuehuai's eyes hurt and were dry. She knew something had entered them and she couldn't see anything. Wang Ping'an looked at the cliff, and occasionally a gust of wind swept over, making the back of his neck feel cold. "This is a cliff, my dear."

"Can I use this to my advantage to stand up? I can't take it anymore."

"Yes, Grandma, I have a place to stand, please don't let go, Grandma." It was clear that Old Wang was truly terrified.

Xu Yuehuai shouted at him, "Now that we are working together, we mustn't have any wild thoughts and try to frame others."

“Grandma,” Wang Ping’an said in a trembling voice, “what time is it now? Ping’an will never dare to harm anyone again.”

Xu Yuehuai calmed herself down and prepared to open her eyes, but the stinging pain made it impossible for her to see anything.

Just at this critical moment, Xu Yuehuai heard a crisp crack.

She looked up in fear and realized that the vine she was holding onto had snapped, and the two of them fell heavily into the canyon with a shattering scream.

Xu Yuehuai thought he was doomed.

Wang Ping'an was so frightened that his soul almost left his body.
