Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 356 - 355: Resolved to Kill Her

Chapter 356: Chapter 355: Resolved to Kill Her

Although Long Ziyue managed to maintain a calm facade, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of fear as the wild boar charged at her.

Especially since the boar’s speed was even faster than she had anticipated!

In an instant, it was right in front of her.

She immediately rolled on the ground and with great difficulty, narrowly avoided the boar’s attack.

But despite its massive body, the boar was terrifyingly agile.

After missing its first pounce, it immediately turned around for another attack.

This time, Long Ziyue had just flipped over and hadn’t had the chance to get up.

It seemed inevitable that she would be unable to dodge!

Just as the boar lunged, from not far behind her, came Chu Qianli’s deep shout, "Duck down!"

Without hesitation, Long Ziyue immediately ducked and lay down.

Whoosh – a long arrow shot forth.

"Aargh..." the boar’s cry sounded like the howling of a wolf.

Thud – the noise came as the boar fell to the ground not far in front of Long Ziyue.

The ordeal wasn’t over yet. Another whoosh followed as Chu Qianli’s second arrow was released, hitting the boar right in the heart again.

With such tremendous force and precise angle, the arrow pierced deeply. After a few distressed cries, the boar collapsed to the ground, unable to get back up.

"How are you? Are you alright?" Chu Qianli walked over and reached out her hand to Long Ziyue.

Long Ziyue lifted her hand to wipe her forehead, which was covered in cold sweat.

"I didn’t expect it to be so tough to deal with," she blew out a breath, and taking Chu Qianli’s hand, she stood up.

"It had sleek and transparent fur. One could tell its muscles were solid. From that angle and distance, with insufficient Inner Strength, the arrows would hardly penetrate."

"Then why did you let me shoot?" Long Ziyue was almost hopping mad. Was this person pushing her to her death?

Nevertheless, she didn’t get angry.

"Did you use me as bait on purpose to adjust its angle?"

"Of course. It wouldn’t leap without prey in sight. If it didn’t leap, its most vulnerable belly wouldn’t be exposed to me," Chu Qianli said with a hint of a smile.

Long Ziyue exhaled deeply, still shaken by the wild boar’s fierce pounce at her.

"I would have been killed by its bite if it was just a little bit off," she couldn’t help but complain.

"I had the situation under control."

Long Ziyue gave her a wry look, "You’re really confident!"

"Of course." If she weren’t confident, why would she dare to come into this area?

Long Ziyue glared at her fiercely.

But complaints aside, she was clear about one thing: this person’s archery skills were far superior to her own.

It was astonishing that, in a country like Beiming, which favored men over women, such an outstanding and capable woman could exist.

Once finished with her complaints, her mood improved, and she quickly walked over and kicked the boar.

The boar was essentially unable to move anymore.

"Better tie it up, just to be safe."

Chu Qianli somehow found some ropes and together with Long Ziyue, they secured the boar tightly.

Most importantly, they sealed its mouth shut to prevent any last-minute revival that might lead to injury.

While retrieving something from the Universe Chain, Chu Qianli’s attention was briefly captured by the WeChat icon in the System’s interface.

Despite WeChat showing an offline status, her message to her Senior Brother was sent, but she had no idea whether or not he had replied.

It was highly likely that her Senior Brother didn’t even believe it was her on the other end of WeChat.

And she wondered when she would be able to contact him again through WeChat.

Would she never have a second chance to do so in her lifetime?

"Ali, what are you doing? Come help me; it’s so heavy!"

Long Ziyue was trying to lift the boar.

However, nearly two hundred taels in weight, it was indeed too heavy. Even with exerted Inner Strength, she couldn’t lift it – how exhausting!

"Wait a sec, I’m going to get something."

Chu Qianli walked behind some bushes and soon returned, dragging something behind her.

"What is this?" Long Ziyue asked with a face full of curiosity. Where did this come from?

"A cart." Chu Qianli dragged the cart over, and together, they lifted the wild boar onto the cart.

Long Ziyue immediately became excited and began to pull the cart back, "Where did this come from? It’s so effortless, simply..."

"Ziyue, watch out!"

Chu Qianli had just finished sorting out the System’s items when she looked up and saw a flash of cold light in the distance.

Without a second thought, she lunged forward and tackled Long Ziyue to the ground.

Thud, thud, thud—three sounds!

They rolled on the ground and looked back to see three hidden weapons deeply embedded in the earth.

Right near where Long Ziyue had just been standing!

From that angle, it was clear these hidden weapons were aimed at Long Ziyue.

"It’s an ambush!" Chu Qianli pulled her vigorously and pushed her into the bushes nearby.

After rolling behind the bushes, Long Ziyue got up only to see two figures in black chasing Chu Qianli deep into the dense forest.

"Ali!"

Disaster! The assassins were clearly after her.

But now, in the pitch darkness, they mistook Ali for her!

"Ali..."

"Miss Chu, go back quickly and tell them that Commandery Princess Pingyue has been attacked. Ask them to come save me!"

Chu Qianli’s somewhat hoarse voice came from afar.

After that, there was no more noise to be heard.

Long Ziyue was utterly frantic!

Ali had used herself as bait to lure the assassins away!

Long Ziyue wanted to chase after them, but in the pitch-black path ahead, the figures of Chu Qianli and the two assassins were long gone.

She was extremely conflicted.

After a moment’s hesitation, she finally turned around and rushed to where they had tied up the horses.

She had to go back and find someone to save Ali, or it would be too late!

What Long Ziyue could never have anticipated was that at the entrance to the Hunting Grounds, only Leng Ji and the guards were there.

They heard that Prince Xuan had left to rest shortly after the ladies went in.

As for Prince Xiaoyao, he had also taken his leave using an excuse after Prince Xuan left and did not stay to wait for the ladies to emerge!

"Don’t worry, Commandery Princess. You stay here and wait, I’ll take a team in to find Miss Lili right now!"

Leng Ji was even more anxious than she was and immediately led a team of men charging in.

...

Chu Qianli tonight had not only encountered a group of assassins.

Perhaps even she herself had not expected that there would be so many assassins lurking.

After she dealt with the first two assassins, another group of five men in black came.

Such rotten luck.

With a swoosh, a silver needle was fired, and one of the men in black from the tree fell with a thud.

Unexpectedly, he rolled on the ground and vanished in the blink of an eye!

Hermit assassins!

Chu Qianli felt her heart tighten, her wrist twisted and she sent out two more silver needles.

She immediately took a wrong step and hid behind a tree.

Thud, thud—two hidden weapons struck the tree trunk.

Just as she was about to fire the silver needles a third time, a sword dripping with chilling Sword Qi stabbed down from the treetop above her.

Chu Qianli’s fingertips tensed up, and a long sword from the System appeared in her hand. She raised her hand, and with a clang, the sword met the attack.

But she hadn’t expected that the hermit in black who had just fallen to the ground was already at her side.

The cold sword, in the blink of an eye, was now at Chu Qianli’s chest.

These hermits had clearly resolved to kill her!
