Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Jiang Peihuan shot an arrow through the neck of a wolf.

This arrow had saved Cao Jun but had also precipitated a significant disaster.

Wolves are pack animals, but they are also highly vengeful.

When the wolf fell, the wolf pack that had threatened Cao Jun and Jiang Ruyun immediately turned their attention to Jiang Peihuan, who held a bow and arrow.

For a brief moment, the air was silent.

“Eldest Miss?”

“Master?”

Han Feng and Ye Xiao arrived at that instant.

Surveying the scene before them, both displayed evident concern.

After a tense pause, Jiang Peihuan nocked another arrow. Noticing the newcomers, she whispered, “Wolves are highly vengeful.”

“In that case, let’s not leave a single one alive,” Xiao Nanye declared, drawing his own bow as he spoke.

Seeing this, both Han Feng and Ye Xiao readied their bows and arrows.

The four were skilled archers. In no time, many wolves lay slain.

Jiang Ruyun and Cao Jun, who were surrounded by the wolf pack, did not dare to move. Cao Jun even shielded Jiang Ruyun behind him.

“Eldest Miss, these beasts are running away.”

Being astute creatures, the wolves sensed the formidable presence of Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye and chose to flee.

Hearing Ye Xiao’s voice, Jiang Peihuan didn’t respond vocally but hastened her arrow shooting.

In a matter of moments, the entire wolf pack was vanquished.

Suddenly, Jiang Ruyun, her eyes wide with horror, cried out, “Elder sister, be careful behind you!”

Upon hearing Jiang Ruyun’s warning, Jiang Peihuan immediately aimed her bow behind her, but it was a step too late.

A white wolf lunged at Jiang Peihuan. She rolled away swiftly, but her clothes were torn by the wolf’s claws, sending an icy chill down her spine.

This wolf, larger than the rest, was clearly the pack’s alpha.

Reaching for her waist, Jiang Peihuan drew a black whip and lashed at the wolf, but it dodged, leaving a deep mark on the ground.

“Master?”

Realizing his quiver was empty, Xiao Nanye tossed the bow to Han Feng and dashed towards Jiang Peihuan. Drawing his long sword as he landed beside her.

The Alpha Wolf glanced at Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye with its green eyes and charged forward.

Its speed was remarkable. As Xiao Nanye swung his sword, he pulled Jiang Peihuan behind him. “It’s fast, be careful not to get hurt.”

Back to back with Xiao Nanye, Jiang Peihuan whispered, “I have a way to kill it.”

“In a while, I’ll take the initiative to attack, you aim for its eyes.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Peihuan flipped her wrist and the long whip lashed at the Alpha Wolf’s neck, but it dodged in an instant.

However, Jiang Peihuan did not care. Instead, she moved forward with determination.

Jiang Peihuan’s whip struck fiercely, but the Alpha Wolf’s reactions were even faster.

Once Jiang Ruyun saw that the immediate danger was past, she wanted to help. She began to move forward, but Cao Jun held her hand. “Ruyun?”

“I’ll go help Elder Sister.”

After saying that, Jiang Ruyun went forward. Upon seeing her, Jiang Peihuan said coldly, “Who told you to come over? Leave!”

“Elder sister, let me help you.”

Ignoring the coldness in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes, Jiang Ruyun walked forward and drew the long whip from her waist. The purple whip lashed out instantly towards the Alpha Wolf.

The long purple whip instantly lashed towards the Alpha Wolf.

Jiang Ruyun’s martial arts were average, the whip in her hand was quite good.

With Jiang Ruyun’s participation, the Alpha Wolf obviously struggled more to dodge.

The entire mountain was filled with the sound of wolves howling.

Not far away.

Yan Xin and Zhao Fuqing, hearing the howls, had smiles in their eyes, “Now, I’m curious if they can survive this.”

Hearing this, Zhao Fuqing remained silent, but a smug look was evident in his eyes.

“Xiao Nanye, do it!”

Jiang Peihuan’s black whip suddenly wrapped around the Alpha King’s neck, and she immediately looked at Xiao Nanye.

Hearing her voice, Xiao Nan Ye swiftly thrust his sword not into the wolf’s eyes as expected, but straight into its neck. Moreover, he pinned the Alpha King to the ground with his entire body.

The Alpha King on the ground thrashed constantly, but Xiao Nanye firmly held it down.

The strength of the Alpha King was formidable, and just when it seemed that Xiao Nanye couldn’t hold it any longer, the veins in Jiang Peihuan’s hand that held the whip protruded prominently.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruyun hurriedly went to Jiang Peihuan’s side and helped her pull the whip.

Even so, the Alpha King continued to struggle.

“Hurry!”

Han Feng, witnessing this, quickly looked at Ye Xiao.

After exchanging glances, both drew the daggers from their waists.

Then, their daggers pierced straight into the Alpha Wolf chest and abdomen.

Blood splattered over the two, but neither seemed to care.

As the Alpha Wolf let out a tragic howl, Jiang Peihuan felt as though the entire mountain was shaking. The Alpha Wolf constantly tried to bite Xiao Nanye.

Pain surged through Jiang Peihuan’s palm, but she held onto the whip as if numb to the pain.

Seeing blood seeping from Xiao Nanye’s palm, Jiang Ruyun’s face changed, and she gripped even harder.

Cao Jun, who was nearby, also drew a dagger from his body and approached Xiao Nanye.

Facing the snarling Alpha Wolf, fear flashed in Cao Jun’s eyes, but he still raised his dagger and plunged it into the Alpha Wolf’s neck.

Jiang Peihuan distinctly felt the struggling force in her hands decrease significantly.

Even so, the Alpha Wolf kept struggling, and no one dared to let go.

When Jiang Peihuan felt that her palms were numb, she finally saw the Alpha Wolf lower its head.

“Huan Er?”

Xiao Nan Ye immediately let go of the Alpha Wolf and went to Jiang Peihuan’s side.

Seeing her bloody palm, Xiao Nan Ye’s expression turned extremely grim.

“Master, the medicine.”

Seeing this, Han Feng quickly took out the wound ointment.

“Ruyun, your hand.”

Cao Jun also walked to Jiang Ruyun’s side. When he saw the blood on her palm, Cao Jun’s eyes were filled with worry.

Hearing his words, Jiang Ruyun shook her head, “I’m fine. Elder sister’s injury is worse than mine.”

Xiao Nan Ye had already applied the ointment to Jiang Peihuan’s palm and then handed the bottle to Cao Jun.

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

After thanking Xiao Nanye, Cao Jun quickly treated Jiang Ruyun.

After the ordeal, no one was in the mood for hunting anymore, so they returned to their tents.

Everyone gathered in Xiao Nanye’s tent. After sitting down, Jiang Peihuan turned to Cao Jun and Jiang Ruyun, “How did you encounter the pack of wolves?”

“I don’t know either.”

“But it didn’t seem like I stumbled upon the wolves. It felt more like they sought me out.”

Hearing Cao Jun’s words, a hint of confusion appeared in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes..
