Chapter 317: Chapter 313: One More Update

"Heir Zong, I’m really sorry," Zheng Haoyuan’s heart was pleased, and he didn’t even want to give Zong Yunqian a glance because the battle in the arena was about to begin.

Six wolves slowly surrounded The Savage in the middle, gradually closing in. It was obvious that the pack had been together to begin with, and now they seemed calm, the air filled with the scent of bloodlust.

The Savage seemed to realize he was trapped in a deadly circle, slowly taking the wild hares off his shoulder, one in each hand, tossing the rest onto the ground. The wolves didn’t even glance at the rabbits or the foxes, their eyes fixed on The Savage, as if they knew that only by taking down this large creature could they enjoy the remaining feast in peace.

The wind whipped up, carrying the briskness of autumn, and suddenly a gust of wind rose sharply. The pack, as if on command, charged at The Savage in the center all at once.

Zheng Nianru immediately tightened her grip on the small handkerchief in her hand, Fu Dong hastily stepped back and grabbed the back of the chair, and Xue Liu was so scared she covered her eyes.

Zheng Nianru wanted to cover her eyes too but still wanted to watch, clinging to Xing Yu’s sleeve, peering out from behind it.

"Hiss——" The Savage swung the wild hares in his hands and hit the leading wolf with a "bang," sending the wolf flying, its entrails smashing into its head and scattering around, the stench of blood making its way directly into the nostrils without the need for imagination.

"Ah——" Zheng Nianru let out a faint cry, and Zheng Haoyuan stood up immediately after.

"Cousin, are you scared?" Zheng Haoyuan was about to express his anger when Zheng Nianru’s attention was already drawn back into the fray, The Savage grabbing another wolf, one that had bitten onto his shoulder, and smashing it against the exposed rock on the hillside.

"Shh——" The thud of flesh hitting rock echoed, the wolf’s blood spurting out, while The Savage looked equally battered—two wolves biting into his thighs, their blood staining his clothes, and another wolf clamped at his waist, firmly bitten into his flesh.

The Savage howled in pain and then focused on the wolf at his waist.

This one was particularly difficult to deal with, its position awkward, like trying to gnaw into the belly of a tiger—within reach, but impossible to exert much force against, with another wolf biting into The Savage’s arm.

Zheng Nianru forgot about her handkerchief, which fell to the ground as she clutched Xing Yu’s sleeve.

The Savage, in desperation, grabbed the tails of the two wolves and hoisted them up, the pieces of flesh in their jaws tearing free and flying through the air. The Savage, stumbling, was covered in bloodstains like a doctor laden with medicine bags, spinning slowly in circles, sending the wolves flying as he flung them with force.

One wolf flew beyond the hedgerow into the depths of the dense forest, while the other hurtled towards the spectators’ stand.

"Ah——" Nian Xia screamed, and everyone retreated in fear, but Xing Yu, unafraid, stepped forward. Just as the wolf was about to crash into the stand, she struck out with her fist and hit the wolf’s belly.

The wolf let out a short, painful cry and then fell onto the stand, motionless like a dead object.

"Savage, look, I took care of one for you——" Xing Yu shouted to The Savage in the center of the arena.

In the span of that time, The Savage had already dealt with another wolf on his feet, tearing it into two halves, the hempen shoulder garment he wore was now soaked through with blood, no longer showing its original color.

Next, the situation developed rapidly in the direction Zheng Nianru had anticipated, with fewer and fewer wolves remaining, until the last two, seeming to sense they were overpowered, attempted to flee. The Savage already had one in his grasp, while the other hurriedly scampered away.

The man in the arena did not give chase but instead balled up the wolf in his hands and, with a swift, fierce, and accurate throw, hurled it towards the fleeing one.

"Hahaha——this is too funny——" Xing Yu was the first to break into laughter, and Zheng Haoyuan also smiled brightly, thoroughly amused by the increasing surprises The Savage presented.

Zheng Nianru, although not laughing, seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Fu Gong, this game isn’t bad——" Zheng Nianru remarked, having not seen such an exciting game in a long time. She had thought that in this life, it would be quite unlikely to witness such again.

"Cousin, how are you going to thank me? The Savage was your idea; if anyone, you should be thanking yourself." Zheng Haoyuan said tenderly and modestly, looking at Zheng Nianru, feeling that this bout of amusement was truly worth it.

Upon hearing this, Zong Yunqian looked toward Zheng Nianru with some confusion.

In addition to Zheng Nianru, that bloodthirsty little Maid by her side also puzzled him.

Before coming up with that strategy, he had seriously studied Princess Chao Ren and the information he obtained suggested she had long been secluded within the depths of the palace, never having the chance to interact with the outside world. However, the more he learned about her, the more Zong Yunqian realized he might have investigated an impostor Commandery Princess.

How could someone who watched such a bloody spectacle with such enthusiasm be an innocent little girl who knew nothing?

Zong Yunqian didn’t have time to ponder deeply on where he had erred, as Zheng Haoyuan’s voice rang out again.

"Cousin, it’s not often you get to come out, do you want to watch more? There are even more exciting games prepared for later." Zheng Haoyuan immediately cozied up to her, leaning over the chair, tilting his whole self toward Zheng Nianru’s side.

Fu Dong signaled with his eyes that Heir Zong was still present, urging caution, but Zheng Haoyuan was oblivious, not deeming Zong Yunqian worthy of his attention.

Zheng Nianru, engrossed in the show and hearing of more to come, looked eagerly at Zheng Haoyuan, forgetting about Zong Yunqian’s current status and her own considerations.

"What else is there?"

"I’ve also prepared two ferocious tigers to be released at once; do you think The Savage can knock them down too?" Zheng Haoyuan said, giving Cang Er a meaningful look, who immediately relayed commands to Lu Hu below.

All heard the wooden fence below slowly opening again, and two iron cages entered everyone’s view.
