Even women who travel through time can become prime ministers and nobles.

Shen Yanchu and the other two hid quietly in the bushes not far from the mother tiger, not daring to breathe. They watched the mother tiger nervously, their hearts filled with fear and awe.

The tigress had just been through a fierce battle and was covered in wounds. She lay exhausted on the ground, licking her wounds and occasionally letting out a low growl.

Its eyes revealed pain and vigilance, as if warning everything around it.

Shen Yanchu and his two companions sensed an unfamiliar aura emanating from the tigress, a sign of danger. They dared not act rashly and could only wait quietly for the tigress to leave.

Time passed slowly, and the tigress's wounds seemed to be gradually healing. She slowly stood up, stretched her body, and then turned and walked into the depths of the forest.

Shen Yanchu and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. They knew they had successfully escaped a disaster. They watched the mother tiger's departing figure, not daring to move easily. The mother tiger had only left temporarily; her cubs were still here.

Cui Yu cautiously surveyed her surroundings. Across from Shandong, little tiger cubs with adorable tiger heads were chasing and playing at the cave entrance, melting Shi Wanxia's girlish heart. These little tiger cubs were so cute.

Deep in the forest, Shen Yanchu and Shi Wanxia cautiously watched the tiger cubs. A mysterious scent filled the air, attracting the attention of one of the cubs. Following the scent, it wobbled towards them.

Shen Yanchu instinctively reached for his sword, but Shi Wanxia quickly stopped him. She looked at him with a firm gaze, shook her head slightly, and signaled him not to act rashly.

Several tiger cubs stumbled up to them, peering at them curiously. Their eyes were filled with innocence and naivety, as if they were filled with curiosity about these two unfamiliar humans.

In the distance, the roar of a leopard broke the silence. The tiger cubs immediately became alert and darted into the grass.

Shi Wanxia stood amidst the dense grass and trees, facing several tiger cubs baring their teeth and emitting roars unique to tiger cubs. Their babyish cries echoed in the air. Shi Wanxia smiled and gently stroked the cubs' heads, signaling them to quiet down.

However, at that moment, a leopard darted through the grass like lightning. It was so fast that it was almost invisible, leaving only a blurry shadow.

The appearance of the leopard instantly alerted the tiger cubs, and their roars became even more intense, as if warning Shi Wanxia.

Shi Wanxia sensed the tiger cubs' tension. She stared intently at the leopard's figure, a strange anxiety rising within her. The leopard darted back and forth through the grass, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, its intentions elusive.

Shi Wanxia knew that the leopard was the top hunter in this forest, its speed and strength inspiring awe. She had to remain calm and find a way to protect herself and the tiger cubs.

She slowly crouched down to be at the same height as the tiger cubs, gently stroking their backs with her hands, trying to make them feel her presence and protection.

With Shi Wanxia's reassurance, the tiger cubs gradually calmed down. They stopped roaring and instead stayed close to Shi Wanxia, ​​watching the leopard's every move warily.

Shi Wanxia took a deep breath, stood up, and prepared to face the leopard's challenge. Shen Yanchu and Cui Yu stopped her. This girl was truly ignorant of her own limitations; how could she, with no strength to even kill a chicken, deal with a fierce and cunning leopard?

"Wenzhu, you protect them. I'll deal with that leopard. Remember, if the tigress acts recklessly, take Shi-guniang up the tree immediately. Don't linger."

Shen Yanchu, with a stern face, instructed Cui Yu'an. Cui Yu'an nodded; "Don't worry, but you must be careful too. Your skill isn't much either, so finish this quickly."

Shen Yanchu gripped the sword hilt tightly, his eyes revealing madness and determination. The remaining internal energy within him surged like a raging tide, gathering on the sword.

The leopard moved with incredible agility, like a ghost, constantly dodging Shen Yanchu's attacks. Its movements were swift and nimble, putting Shen Yanchu under considerable strain for a time.

Shen Yanchu gritted his teeth and unleashed a powerful sword aura. The sword aura swept out like a silver lightning bolt, tearing through the air and creating a gust of wind. The surrounding vegetation was affected by the sword aura, snapping and falling to the ground.

However, the leopard, with its agile movements, skillfully avoided the fatal blow. It weaved through the gaps in the sword energy, searching for Shen Yanchu's weakness.

Shen Yanchu's breathing became rapid, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. But he did not give up; instead, he frantically circulated his inner energy, trying to deliver a fatal blow to the leopard.

In this fierce battle, both Shen Yanchu and the leopard displayed unwavering will and formidable strength. Their figures intertwined, creating a breathtaking scene.

Shi Wanxia and Cui Yu'an couldn't help but worry. This leopard was a top predator, renowned for both speed and strength. In the forest, it had almost no rivals except for adult tigers. Shen Yan was in danger, and Cui Yu'an wanted to draw his sword to help him, but he had lost all his martial arts skills and hadn't recovered yet. Going there would only make things worse. What could they do? The two of them held the three tiger cubs on the ground in their arms, their eyes fixed intently on Shen Yan's condition.

Shen Yanchu engaged in a thrilling life-or-death struggle with the leopard. His skills were insufficient, and he was unable to dodge in time, being violently knocked several meters away by the leopard.

However, he did not give up easily, and at the crucial moment he showed a tenacious will and agile skills.

The leopard opened its blood-red jaws and charged at Shen Yanchu again. He performed a somersault, narrowly avoiding the leopard's fatal blow.

Immediately afterward, he swiftly pressed acupoints all over his body to prevent his injuries from worsening. Despite the excruciating pain, he still gripped his sword, preparing for a final, desperate battle with the leopard.

Shen Yanchu's eyes revealed determination and resolve; he knew he had no way out. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, adjusted his breathing, and focused intently on the leopard's every move.

In this critical moment, he had only one belief in his mind: to defeat the leopard and protect himself and those around him.

The leopard sensed Shen Yanchu's fierce resistance and pounced on him with even greater ferocity and rage. Shen Yanchu remained fearless, nimbly dodging the leopard's attacks while searching for an opportunity to retaliate.

Every encounter was fraught with danger and uncertainty, but he never gave up. With unwavering will and superb swordsmanship, he engaged in a fierce battle with the leopard. The leopard also knew that the two-legged creature was dangerous.

The leopard suddenly attacked, pouncing and biting. Shen Yanchu couldn't dodge in time, and multiple wounds instantly appeared on his body. The leopard seized the opportunity, pounced on him again, and opened its blood-red maw to bite him.

At that critical moment, a tigress pounced like lightning. She let out a deafening roar, displaying unparalleled ferocity.

The tigress's appearance startled the leopard, forcing it to abandon its attack on Shen Yanchu and confront the tigress instead.

The tigress was agile and muscular, her eyes revealing determination and majesty. She engaged in a fierce battle with the leopard, neither giving an inch.

The leopard tried to evade the tigress's attacks with speed and agility, but the tigress maintained the upper hand thanks to her strength and combat experience.

After a fierce battle, the tigress finally defeated the leopard. However, the tigress was also seriously injured, collapsing to the ground panting heavily, her body covered in wounds of all sizes. Shi Wanxia and Cui Yu'an immediately returned to Shen Yanchu's side, helping him sit down to catch his breath.

Shen Yanchu frowned, and large beads of sweat kept sliding down his forehead. He felt an unusual pain in his meridians, as if countless ants were gnawing at his body.

He immediately circulated his internal energy, trying to alleviate the pain. His face was pale, his lips were purple, and his body was trembling slightly; he looked to be in great agony.

Several tiger cubs surrounded their mother, howling sadly. Their eyes were filled with tears, and their voices revealed endless sorrow and helplessness.

They seemed to know that the mother tiger's life was gradually slipping away, but they were powerless to do anything about it, and could only express their grief in this way.

Shi Wanxia crouched down and carefully examined the tigress's injuries. Her eyes were filled with concern and worry. She gently stroked the tigress's body and took out the little alcohol and iodine she had left from her backpack to disinfect it.

She looked up at Cui Yu'an and said, "Young Master Cui, could you help me pry open the tiger's mouth? I'll give it some anti-inflammatory medicine, I don't know if it will work, but the little tiger cub won't live long without its mother's care."

"Alright!" Cui Yu'an was stunned by the girl's words. After hesitating for a while, he squatted down and carefully pried open the tiger's mouth. Shi Wanxia took the opportunity to force-feed the anti-inflammatory medicine to the mother tiger. The mother tiger was still unconscious and her breathing was weak.
