Chapter 140 - 140 Can Be Saved
140 Can Be Saved
Clunk!
Sparks flew as the tip of the arrow struck the tip. The white-feathered arrow was knocked an inch askew and shot into the big tree beside the doe.
The tree trembled violently, and countless fallen leaves rustled.
The female deer was frightened by the sound and bounced up like a spring.
It rushed into the forest ahead in a panic and was drowned by the bushes in the blink of an eye…
It was unknown where it had gone.
“Amazing!” Wei Jiaoniang naturally saw this scene. Her eyes lit up, and she was in high spirits.
If not for the fact that she was still riding a horse, she would have rushed over and hugged Gu Yanfei to cheer.
The arrow Gu Yanfei shot just now was simply amazing!
For a moment, Wei Jiaoniang seemed to see a majestic female general shoot down the enemy’s head from hundreds of steps away.
She clapped heavily and exclaimed in her heart. Gu Yanfei’s riding and shooting skills are indeed very good! I’ve not analyzed her wrongly. It’s precisely because she has never hunted in the past that she hasn’t taken action yet.
As long as I give Gu Yanfei some pointers, she will definitely surpass me. Just the two of us are enough to smile proudly at the hunting ground!
Gu Yanfei quietly looked in the direction the female deer had left. The bowstring in her hand was still buzzing slightly.
She stroked the bowstring but smiled without saying anything.
Medical cultivators were not Buddhist cultivators with a Bodhisattva’s heart. They could kill and save.
Medical cultivators killed spirit beasts to obtain beast blood, animal bones, and inner cores for medicine. It was taboo to drain the pond to get at the fish. Therefore, medical cultivators didn’t always kill in order to maintain the balance of the spirit beast race in the world.
A mother beast with cubs had to be saved.
The sound of hooves came from the direction of the white-feathered arrow.
Baili Yin, who was dressed in a sapphire blue robe, was the first to ride his horse out of the forest. Behind him were seven or eight guards of the State of Yue.
As these people arrived, the sounds of hooves, horse cries, human voices, and all kinds of rustling intertwined. The originally quiet forest suddenly became much noisier.
“Who is it?!” A guard from the State of Yue raised his voice unhappily and shouted with an unfriendly gaze, “Hey, the two of you…”
Baili Yin saw Gu Yanfei at a glance and only raised his hand slightly. The guard immediately fell silent, shut up, and retreated.
“Who shot my arrow away?” There was no anger on Baili Yin’s slightly rough face. Instead, there was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were burning.
He was asking Gu Yanfei and Wei Jiaoniang, but his gaze was only on Gu Yanfei, as if Wei Jiaoniang did not exist.
Unable to stand these people who wanted to kill the mother beast, Wei Jiaoniang tugged at Gu Yanfei’s sleeve, urging her to go.
Baili Yin’s gaze slowly moved down from Gu Yanfei’s beautiful face to the bow in her hand.
“Was it you?” Baili Yin rode his horse two steps closer to Gu Yanfei. His thin lips curled up even higher with a hint of interest and amazement. “You’re very bold!”
A beauty with thorns was also beautiful.
Gu Yanfei was also not interested in talking to him. She only raised the bow in her hand, and the bowstring hummed again.
The intention to show off was obvious.
This action meant that if she was annoyed, she would even hit him!
Baili Yin let out a low laugh. He was still smiling, even more happily.
The guards he brought along from the State of Yue were furious.
They had long heard that these noble ladies of the Northern State of Jin were all arrogant by nature, unlike the women of the State of Yue, who were gentle, virtuous, and respectful.
Seeing them today, it was indeed the case. These two noble women were very fierce!
“Jiaoniang, let’s go.” Gu Yanfei carried the bow back. When she faced Wei Jiaoniang, her smile was like a spring breeze blowing through the flowers. She was a completely different person from her cold and impatient attitude towards Baili Yin.
Baili Yin widened his eyes slightly and looked at the beauty in front of him in shock. This little beauty was really a rose with thorns.
Their horses had just turned when they heard a loud, mournful whine from behind, startling a flurry of birds and rustling the distant leaves.
It was… the whine of a deer.
Gu Yanfei immediately heard it and turned to look in the direction of the voice. It was in the direction that the female deer had escaped.
“It’s that deer!” Wei Jiaoniang also heard it and frowned.
The sorrow in this deer’s cry was obvious, making one’s imagination run wild. It was probably because the female deer had encountered something unexpected again.
“Yanfei, let’s go take a look.” Worried about the female deer, Wei Jiaoniang pulled the reins and steered the horse to change direction again.
