Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 334 - 333: Can Anyone Save Her?

Chapter 334: Chapter 333: Can Anyone Save Her?

Long Ziyue’s horse was injured, and she tumbled off its back.

When Chu Qianli arrived, she had just climbed up from the ground, covered in dirt, evidently having taken a harsh fall.

Not far away, Chu Feiyan sat high on her horse, looking down at Long Ziyue, her eyes brimming with laughter.

"Shooting hidden weapons in secret, what kind of hero does that make you?" Long Ziyue said angrily.

Chu Feiyan laughed out loud in response, her face full of disdain, "Why should I be a hero? I am but a frail girl."

Before today, Chu Feiyan had considered Chu Qianli a formidable competitor.

But after seeing the Duke’s cold attitude toward Chu Qianli, without a trace of favoritism, she knew Chu Qianli posed no threat to her.

As for the others, currently, there were two princesses from neighboring countries, both of noble status. However, being delicate flowers, Chu Feiyan did not take them seriously for the moment.

From today’s competition, Chu Feiyan had roughly understood that the Duke was looking for someone who could fight alongside him.

Thus, Long Ziyue became her biggest rival.

Unable to bear the insult, Long Ziyue picked up a stone and forcefully threw it at Chu Feiyan’s horse’s leg.

Chu Feiyan, however, was well prepared; as Long Ziyue bent to pick up the stone, she spurred her horse into action.

The horse galloped off, and the stone hit the trunk of a tree and bounced back, infuriating Long Ziyue to the point of hopping with anger.

"Did you never consider that someone might play tricks during such a competition?"

Chu Qianli rode up to her.

Long Ziyue exhaled lightly and nodded, "I hadn’t thought of that."

The women of Longteng Country, if they wanted to fight, would do so openly and honorably.

What was the meaning of wounding with hidden weapons?

"You better get going, it won’t be easy before sunset."

Long Ziyue looked up; although it wouldn’t be easy, it wasn’t too difficult for her.

She turned around.

Chu Qianli frowned, "Are you giving up?"

"How could I?" Long Ziyue gave her a smile, tinged with helplessness, "Without my horse, even if I could climb over the mountain and come back, it wouldn’t be according to the rules."

"Are you going back to pick another horse and start over?"

Chu Qianli looked back and her eyes immediately filled with laughter.

She was growing increasingly fond of Long Ziyue’s temperament.

Even when faced with difficulty, she didn’t easily give up.

However, she was a bit too straightforward.

"It’s a long way back from here, and although I believe in Princess Pingyue’s abilities to finish the race, don’t you find it frustrating?"

"You know me?"

Long Ziyue looked at her, "I haven’t had the pleasure."

"My name is Chu Qianli." Chu Qianli waved her over, "One shouldn’t be too straightforward in life. If someone bullies you, you must bully them back; otherwise, you’ll end up infuriating yourself to death."

"But I still have to finish the race," said Long Ziyue in a muffled voice.

Of course, she wanted revenge.

But, the matter of revenge could be taken up directly with Chu Feiyan later.

Right now, the priority was to finish the competition; otherwise, she couldn’t face her mother upon returning.

"What if I could help you get your revenge and at the same time help you complete the race?"

Chu Qianli smiled with a curve of her lips, "Come here, my horse is very sturdy. We can go together, and I’ll teach you how to be bad."

...

Chu Feiyan was not very familiar with the mountain paths in the area, so even though she was leading, her pace wasn’t very fast.

Of course, many other girls were quickly left behind.

Most couldn’t manage to ride a horse through the mountains.

As for Chu Qianli, she quickly located Chu Feiyan’s position and, of course, also quickly found a shortcut to get ahead of her.

"What is this? It’s amazing!"

Long Ziyue stared at the smartphone screen, so shocked she was beyond words.

"This is my own design; it allows me to clearly see the surrounding terrain. Look, isn’t Chu Feiyan right here?"

Based on the position indicated on the screen, Chu Qianli had roughly estimated how long it would take them to get there.

"Let’s go and let me show you what I’m capable of."

Chu Feiyan, who had been unwittingly left behind, accidentally sneezed several times in a row.

She had no idea who was cursing her.

Continuing forward, she was uncertain whether she had taken the wrong direction.

Looking up at the sky, she saw the sun was not far above her head—it was almost 11 AM.

The end point shouldn’t be far away now.

Looking again at the simple terrain map everyone had, it seemed that the end point wasn’t too far indeed.

Chu Feiyan’s heart leapt with joy, and she immediately tightened the reins.

But she never imagined that before she could spur her horse to go faster, several sharp whooshing sounds came from ahead—several hidden weapons were launched at her.

They were three small stones!

Chu Feiyan was startled and quickly rolled to dodge.

But just as she was dodging, suddenly, a sharp pain struck her shoulder, as if her acupoint had been hit by something.

Half of her body went numb instantly.

With a thud, she fell straight off the horse.

When she looked up again, she saw someone sitting on the back of the horse she had been on.

"Long Ziyue, you... you dare to ambush this Commandery Princess!" Chu Feiyan said through gritted teeth; she had never expected that Long Ziyue wouldn’t just catch up but also attack her!

"It’s simply the case of the biter bit, Commandery Princess Pingyue. These tactics—are they not taught by you?"

"Chu Qianli!" Seeing the person and horse emerge from behind the trees, Chu Feiyan was so furious she ground her teeth.

"Bitch! Who are you to speak in front of this Commandery Princess! Do you believe..."

"I don’t believe that’s why you should stop talking."

Chu Qianli dismounted with a leap and walked toward Chu Feiyan.

"Ali, be careful!" Long Ziyue also dismounted and walked beside her, guarding against any tricks from Chu Feiyan.

"It’s okay, she is used to using her left hand, but now her left side is numb, she won’t be able to exert any strength."

"You!" Chu Feiyan turned green with anger. This wretch!

She wanted to take out her whip and lash her with it, but truthfully, she couldn’t muster any strength in her hand.

It was so numb; she couldn’t feel any force at all.

"Quickly release my acupoint, otherwise, when I get out of here, I will tell Duke Longteng to revoke your selection qualification!"

She didn’t care about Chu Qianli at all right now.

The discarded wife of Duke Longteng had no status whatsoever.

But Chu Qianli had already reached her side and, bending down, suddenly grabbed the collar of her dress and dragged her along the ground.

"Chu Qianli, you dare, you dare!"

Chu Feiyan had never suffered such humiliation in her life, but with her clothes tightening around her neck, she was almost suffocating and could hardly maintain her insults.

"Let go, let... you dare... Wretch, this Commandery Princess... won’t let you off, won’t..."

Long Ziyue became anxious when he saw her face turning red, then even swelling to the color of a liver.

"Ali, this... could kill someone."

"When she whipped me, she didn’t think about whether it could kill someone."

Chu Qianli continued to drag Chu Feiyan, making her way to the desolate expanse of weeds.

Her laughter was chilling to the bone, "There’s no one else here. Even if I killed her and buried her body in the wild, no one would ever know for the rest of their lives."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feiyan immediately panicked.

This wretch... this wretch really wants to kill her!

No! No! She didn’t want to die!

Someone help, please help!

Was there no one to save her?
