The man in black thought that if he told Han Zixuan, she would let him go.

But what awaited her was a dagger gleaming with a cold light.

The dagger swiftly sliced ​​across the man in black's neck, and blood gushed out.

He collapsed to the ground with a thud and died.

Murong Yudie, the Murong family...

Han Zixuan wiped the dagger in her hand and looked at the corpse lying on the ground.

With a frosty expression, he threw all the corpses into the dense forest on one side.

With a blank expression, he mounted his horse again and continued on his way.

As they walked into the dense forest, they collected the prey they encountered along the way.

We were lucky; we even managed to run into two sika deer and a goat.

These are all good things; sending them into the space will only take a moment.

Then they encountered Murong Yudie and Qi Wei again.

Murong Yudie stared blankly at the unharmed Han Zixuan in astonishment.

Qi Wei was also slightly surprised, while Han Zixuan walked up to the two of them very casually.

He raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly, "Oh, what are you two doing? Are you waiting for me?"

Murong Yudie was furious. How could Han Zixuan be here all of a sudden?

Didn't those good-for-nothings see it?

"Oh, Ms. Han, what a coincidence! Did you encounter anything on the way?"

Han Zixuan found it amusing and casually replied, "No? Is there anyone else waiting for me?"

The provocative gaze made Murong Yudie tighten her grip on the reins!

Feigning composure, he said, "Heh, how would we know without us? We were just asking Lady Han a couple of questions."

Qi Wei chimed in, "Yes, we really are destined to meet!"

How about we team up for a hunt?

Han Zixuan sneered twice; their thoughts were written all over their faces!

With minds like theirs, plotting and scheming? Ha, have they been reading too many storybooks?

She shook her head slightly. "Let's team up... Hehe, Lady Qi, I'm used to being alone!"

"I won't linger here chatting with you two!..."

His gaze was fixed intently on Murong Yudie, whose expression had changed.

Murong Yudie felt a chill run down her spine. Just then, a rumbling sound came from afar, mixed with the neighing of horses and the howling of wolves.

The group of people all looked in the direction from which the sound came.

The loud noise startled the birds in the dense forest, causing them to scatter in all directions.

Han Zixuan frowned in confusion, while Murong Yudie and Qi Wei also looked puzzled.

Han Zixuan sensed a strange aura.

Without pausing, he drew his bow and nocked an arrow, peering into the dense forest.

The hand resting on the bowstring suddenly stopped—deep in the dense forest a hundred meters away, the branches and leaves were swaying at an unusual frequency.

The moment she closed her eyes, her mental energy seeped into the air like spider silk, and a terrifying scene suddenly appeared in her vision.

Beneath an old tree entwined with withered vines, the mane of a chestnut horse was soaked with dark red bloodstains, and the man on horseback was leaning to one side.

His dark robes were torn and riddled with gruesome wounds, and his blood-stained hair clung to his pale face, which was as white as paper. Even the contours of his features were stained with blood.

Only when the arm was firmly wrapped around the reins did the horse run away in panic.

More than twenty gray wolves followed closely behind like a black tide, their spiky saliva dripping from their white fangs, their dark green pupils pulsating with bloodthirsty madness.

Its eyes were fixed fiercely on its prey, relentlessly pursuing it!

Han Zixuan looked at the wolf pack in surprise. "How could there be a wolf pack in the royal hunting grounds?"

Han Zixuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her knuckles turned white as she gripped the reins tightly.

Before she could figure it out, a shrill neigh tore through the air, and the startled chestnut horse suddenly turned around and galloped wildly toward the hill where the three of them were.

The crisp sound of horses' hooves crushing dry branches grew closer, and the low howls of wolves, carrying a foul stench, swept over us.

Startled, her mount retreated repeatedly, getting closer and closer.

Han Zixuan frowned and immediately turned her horse around, heading in one direction.

It's best to stay away from so many wolves; she could shoot one or two if she wanted to!

This pack of twenty-odd wolves is already quite large!

Their target was clearly the blood-covered man on horseback.

Although she didn't know who the person was, Han Zixuan had no interest in being the hero who saved the person.

In an instant, Han Zixuan had already made up her mind!

Murong Yudie and Qi Wei also saw the situation clearly.

They were shocked to see the wolf pack. "How could there be a wolf pack in the hunting grounds?"

Qi Wei frowned, thinking that this was arranged by His Majesty, and said in surprise, "It would be good to have two or three to increase the difficulty."

Isn't this pack of wolves a bit too dangerous?

Murong Yudie stared wide-eyed at the ferocious pack of wolves, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

"This...is far too dangerous..."

Turning back to look at Han Zixuan, he saw her figure riding away into the distance.

The approaching pack of wolves startled him, and he quickly shouted to Qi Wei, "Run!"

Qi Wei also realized what was happening and quickly raised her whip to speed up the journey.

Seeing Han Zixuan's direction, he assumed she knew how to avoid it, so he followed closely behind.

The startled horse stayed close to its companion, as the wolf pack behind it was unwilling to give up their prey.

They pursued relentlessly, and that's how this strange sight appeared in the mountains and forests.

Four horses galloped ahead, followed by a pack of ferocious wolves!

Han Zixuan frowned when she noticed Murong Yudie and Qi Wei following behind her.

She quickly changed direction, trying to shake them off, but the two women also changed direction and followed her.

He said angrily, "Don't follow me... Run separately!"

Murong Yudie and Qi Wei wouldn't listen to that. What if they split up and the wolf pack chased after them?

We can't be separated; if we're going to die, we'll die together.

It was all the man behind me's fault for attracting the wolf pack; I was just about to yell at him.

At this moment, Qi Wei clearly saw the face of the seriously injured person on horseback.

He was immediately shocked and exclaimed, "The Fifth...the Fifth Prince...! It's actually the Fifth Prince!"

Her voice wasn't quiet; the two people in front of her heard it too!

Murong Yudie looked surprised. "What? The Fifth Prince?"

Qi Wei confirmed, "It is... the Fifth Prince!"

Although the Fifth Prince did not appear often, she had seen him by chance at a banquet.

That noble air left a very deep impression on her!

Han Zixuan frowned even more deeply.

The injured one was actually a prince... How could he be so badly injured without any guards by his side?

If no one is around, she could simply run away on her own without anyone noticing.

If something happens, it has nothing to do with her, but it's a bit troublesome that Murong Yudie and Qi Wei are following behind!

Suddenly, a gray-black wolf darted out from behind Qi Wei, opening its mouth wide and biting hard at Qi Wei's left leg.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and turned to the side in time, the wolf fangs narrowly grazing her boots.

Qi Wei was startled for a moment; when had a young lady from an official family ever been so frightened?

She looked around in a panic, and saw wolves baring their teeth and staring fiercely at her from both sides.

"Ah...ah! What...what should I do..."
