Chapter 114: Chapter 114

Lei Bao confidently tried to pull the bowstring, then loosened one end of the bow’s bolt, letting the string slacken a bit as he adjusted the bow and arrow.

Ping Jie shook her head, pulling Xue to the side of the car and leaning Xue’s head against her waist, blocking her view, "Xue, don’t tell anyone about our trip to Huaizhou, understand?"

"Understood. Sister, why don’t we just kill them?"

The innocent eyes did not mingle with any of the worldly magazine, but such cold and ruthless words truly came out of the little girl’s mouth, leaving Ping Jie unsure whether she should continue taking this child with her in the future.

Ping Jie looked up at the sky, sighed, and said, "Xue, you must know that in this world, everyone has the right to survive, and no one can deprive others of their lives. What you see with your eyes is not everything in this world. The position we are in is also not all there is to life. Real life is far away from us and not something we can control. Understand?"

Yin Xue listened earnestly but still shook her head, "Sister, I don’t understand."

"Of course, you don’t understand. These big truths confuse even a grown man like me, so how could a little kid like you understand?"

Fatty Long unexpectedly walked over, holding a handful of peanuts and throwing them into his mouth one by one. Yin Xue looked at him, murmured "Fatso" under her breath, and then hid behind Ping Jie.

"Aren’t you going to help him?" Ping Jie asked, looking at Lei Bao, who was confronting Ye Tian.

"Help my ass, with his temper, if he really goes berserk, he might just eat me alive. Besides, I’m too full to help him, and apart from hunting a few rabbits, I can’t fight."

Hearing Fatty Long’s words, Ping Jie’s gaze became somewhat profound, she crossed her arms in front of her chest and said in a deep voice, "Just now, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?"

"I don’t understand what you’re talking about." Fatty Long buried his head in eating peanuts, sometimes stuffing a handful into his mouth, it’s no wonder he got so fat with the way he eats.

"Just now, you intentionally shot along his escape route, right? I really didn’t know your archery accuracy has become so poor. He wasn’t running that fast, and you really couldn’t hit him with a single arrow? Good thing he was heading for my bow and arrow. If he had truly come for my life, Fatty Long, I would have shot you first before I died!"

Exposed, Fatty Long patted the peanut residue off his hands and teased, "There’s no harm done, right? And don’t start with me, you did it on purpose just now too. I don’t believe the smart Princess Ping Jie with an IQ over 180 couldn’t predict his escape route."

"Quit spouting nonsense. I didn’t do anything, he snatched my bow and arrow."

Fatty Long smirked and squatted on the ground silently eating peanuts, "My grandfather is right here in Huaizhou City. It’s not easy for a significant person to emerge from such a small place. This Ye Tian is quite something—humble when needed, courageous, and cunning. In the end, this fat on my body doesn’t count for much. I’m not some Beiping son of nobility or member of the Crown Prince’s party; I’m just someone who climbed up here from a small city with a little bit of connections and luck. Seeing him, I see myself. Heh, isn’t that a bit pretentious? But I just felt his life shouldn’t be cut short. Show mercy in cutting the grass, and the spring breeze will bring it back to life."

"Leopard is too ruthless in his actions. Although I find that Qin Chuan unpleasant, the principles of humanity and righteousness he preaches—what’s it called again?"

"Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trust."

"Right, that stuff. I think it’s really good. The old code of conduct in the worldly society still has its merits. Hey, tell me the truth, were you also doing that on purpose just now?"

Ping Jie looked at Fatty Long with his mouth full of peanut crumbs and nodded with a smile.

"I knew it!" Fatty Long slapped his thigh excitedly, sporting an I-told-you-so expression.

Sitting comfortably in the Ferrari, the Mo sisters enjoyed tasty snacks while watching the rare excitement unfolding before them.

"Sis, do you think this guy named Ye Tian can beat that Dead Man monster?" Munching on potato chips, Mo Yu avidly watched the stand-off before her, occasionally commenting on the situation, even though the fight hadn’t started yet. It was only a matter of moments; the long-haired freak had already picked up his bow and arrows, surely he wouldn’t drag things out much longer.

Between the two sisters, the elder one, Mo Yan, seemed more mature, "Whether he can win or not, I don’t know, but what I do know is that our car definitely won’t get compensated."

Hearing her sister’s words, Mo Yu suddenly remembered the business she had come for, and anger rose in her heart, "If that freak doesn’t die from the fight, I’ll shoot him dead myself!"

Mo Yan focused on this guy named Ye Tian, while also starting to plan in her heart. She could now be sure of the person she had been looking for all along.

Three arrows, as long as you can survive three arrows, I will definitely save your life. So Mo Yan thought to herself.

Nocking the arrow, the bowstring was pulled tight by a great force, making a taut sound, like a wind-up spring.

Over the vast wasteland stood a huge steel recurve bow, a sharp arrow, and two equally mad and powerful men facing each other from either end of the bow.

Ye Tian bent over, squatting down with tense legs, ready to dodge the incoming deadly arrow, while Shen Jingwei sat Old Mr. Liu down on the ground beside him.

For the first time, Lei Bao understood that when a cat catches a mouse, it doesn’t immediately eat it but repeatedly catches and releases it, then releases and catches it again. It’s not out of boredom, but rather, it’s constantly tuning its hunting skills. And these skills are more about psychology than action, continually battering the enemy’s mental defenses. Lei Bao kept adjusting the angle of the arrowhead, while Ye Tian also adjusted his position in accordance with the direction of the arrowhead. He was the cat, and Ye Tian was that mouse. He greatly enjoyed the expression on Ye Tian’s face as he knelt and prepared for battle.

A twisted satisfaction filled his heart.

The bow was drawn full-circle like the moon, the arrow flew like a shooting star, and the first arrow tore through the air, racing toward Ye Tian. The arrowhead didn’t spin; the triangular arrowhead grazed the air as it thrust toward Ye Tian’s heart.

Ye Tian awkwardly rolled on the spot, timing it just right, at the very moment Lei Bao released the arrow. Even so, Ye Tian could clearly hear the terrifying sound of the arrowhead fricting through the air, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

A professional competition arrow was lodged into the granite stone wall, its tip penetrating about three centimeters, with the tail still quivering.
