His trip to the State of Jin had not been in vain!

“Your Highness.” At this moment, a few imperial guards quickly came up. The leader cupped his fists at Chu Yi and reported, “The tiger has died.”

The two imperial guards at the back worked together to drag the white tiger’s corpse up the mountainside.

!!

The white tiger was clearly dead and was motionless from head to toe. Its limbs and tail hung limply, occasionally brushing against the trunks and rocks beside them.

Everyone around, including Wei Jiaoniang and Lu Shi, all turned to look at the white tiger’s corpse in unison. Baili Yin also slowly rode his horse over. Only Yu Chaoyun and the other daughters of aristocratic families in the distance were covering their faces, tilting their heads, or frowning, as if they could not bear to look at it.

The bullet that Chu Yi had fired entered the white tiger’s mouth and exited the back of its neck. The bullet completely pierced its spine and killed it.

Its bell-like tiger eyes widened, as if it had died with remaining grievances.

The smell of blood in the air was stronger, and the stench from the tiger’s mouth was overwhelming.

This was… Chu You stared unblinkingly at the small bullet hole in the back of the white tiger’s neck. His eyes were as deep as the sea, filled with shock and confusion.

He was certain that ordinary flintlocks would never be able to do this.

This speed, this power…

Chu You’s right hand gripped the reins so tightly that he almost tore them off.

Beside him, Yuan Zhe was also shocked. He had many questions, but he could only suppress them now.

“Young Master Yi is really good at shooting!” Baili Yin said as he urged his horse closer to Chu Yi.

There was a playful smile on his lips again, and his eyes were fixed on him without blinking…

“You flatter me.” Chu Yi met his eyes from afar and smiled. “I heard that the Third Prince is looking for the tiger bone, so I’ll give this white tiger to him.”

His laughter was warm. With this smile, his eyes seemed to be dyed with a few rays of sunlight, and he looked like a sparkling jade statue.

“Hahaha.” Baili Yin laughed loudly. The corners of his flying eyes made him look handsome, as if he did not care about the outcome of the hunt. “Then I’ll thank Young Master Yi for your kindness.”

He clapped gently and gestured to his subordinates behind him. The accompanying guards immediately accepted the tiger corpse.

He kept smiling, his smile frivolous and casual, his gaze fixed on the flintlock. His eyes were sharp and ambitious.

14 years ago, and eight years ago, the Sage failed to do something when he was young. This time, he and the Crown Prince would definitely do it. He would become a treasured sword in the Crown Prince’s hands.

The surrounding atmosphere was lively and filled with an abnormally excited aura, scattering the coldness of the forest.

Everyone was talking about Chu Yi’s shot just now. Words like “flintlock”, “power”, and “one shot kill” floated over from time to time.

Wei Jiaoniangr, Lu Qin, and the others also joined in the heated discussion. They were all talking at once and in high spirits.

When they saw Chu Yi and Baili Yin riding away on their horses, Wei Jiaoniang called for Gu Yanfei and the others to quickly follow. As they walked, they talked nonstop.

“My grandfather also had a flintlock. I wanted to play with it, but he refused to lend it to me. He said that if it went off accidentally, the consequences would be unimaginable,” Wei Jiaoniang muttered. “This is the first time I’ve seen the power of this flintlock.”

“It’s my first time seeing a flintlock, too,” Lu Qin said, her eyes shining. “It’s far more shocking than the rumors.”

“Yes, yes…”

The more they spoke, the more excited they became. Wei Jiaoniang was not paying attention and accidentally bumped into a yellow-robed girl wearing a pure gold phoenix dangling ornament.

The girl in yellow frowned unhappily as she saw some mud on her left sleeve.

“My Lady, your clothes!!” Her personal maidservant shouted at Wei Jiaoniang in alarm, “Hey, you’ve dirtied our Lady’s clothes!”

“Forget it.” The girl in yellow gently brushed the dirt from her sleeve with a handkerchief. The few tassels hanging from the dangling ornament swayed slightly with her movements. “It’s already dirty.”

Her voice was gentle, but she could not hide her disgust.

“Sigh!” Another girl in pink sighed faintly and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, as if she could not look directly at Wei Jiaoniang and the others. “Miss Wei, Miss Lu, how did you… end up like this?”

“Yes, it’s bloody and muddy and strangely unpleasant. We girls aren’t supposed to be like this.”

The two girls comforted her with “good intentions”. Their voices were soft, but their gazes were extremely disdainful.

There were also a few well-dressed women from aristocratic families who were laughing softly, just short of being straightforward in saying that they were dirty and smelly. The meaning between the lines was that they did not have the gentleness and beauty that women should have.

Wei Jiaoniang was not a pushover, and would not tolerate such ridicule.

“It’s better than some people…” She casually flicked her horse whip and looked around at the daughters of noble families with a faint smile. “Some people are just so out of place, even their horses too!”

No one came to the hunting ground in fancy clothes like them, as if they were attending a banquet. Why did they give the horse a horse bell? Did they think the prey could not hear them?!

“Pfft!” Lu Qin laughed rudely.

She looked back and forth at the girls from the aristocratic families and imitated them by covering her nose. She waved her other hand in disdain and sneered. “You smell so good. Are you trying to kill your prey?!”

The expressions of the women from the aristocratic families instantly changed, and their chests heaved.

They thought that they were noble ladies from aristocratic families and had always paid attention to manners. Even if they wanted to hurt someone, they had to beat around the bush and not use dirty words. They had never interacted with such straightforward people as Wei Jiaoniang and Lu Qin.

How vulgar!

They were too embarrassed to scold her directly, so they could only hold it in and tense up.

Seeing that they were suppressed by Wei Jiaoniang and the others, a strange glint flashed across Yu Chaoyun’s eyes. She kept smiling and did not even move her eyes.

She silently gestured, and the servant led her horse forward a few steps, blocking the way of Gu Yanfei, Wei Jiaoniang, and the others.

Yu Chaoyun gently gathered her big red cloak with a circle of pure white rabbit fur.

Suddenly, the golden butterfly collar on her neck broke, and the golden collar slipped off her body…

“Oh my,” Yu Chaoyun exclaimed softly, her right hand poised to grab it.

But she was too slow. The golden collar brushed past her hand and fell straight to the grass below.

“Miss Gu, I dropped my collar. Help me pick it up.”

...

Yu Chaoyun smiled demurely at Gu Yanfei, who was a few steps away, and said gently, as if she was just asking Gu Yanfei for a favor.
