I woke up as the Villainous Empress-Chapter 65

65 A MIRACLE.

Yang Ning’s eyes widened in fright when the bear sprinted towards Xiaowei with a speed that she cannot match.

Even if she tries to help her to stand up and run to go inside the brothel, the bear will catch up to them in no time and will kill both of them.

“XIAOWEI!!” She panicked and screamed in horror and before she could think of anything, she reflexively pulled out the bow and the arrow that was fastened on her back.

She knows that a bow and arrow cannot save her from this crisis.

Because a bear’s body is built differently from other animals like deer and elk as it isn’t easy to penetrate the arrow through their body without knowing the information about their body and vital points. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

It was something that only professional hunters can do. She knows archery but never did hunting before, so she was not sure if she would be successful in one go or not.

However, she has to take this chance. She cannot wait for Xiaowei to get killed in front of her eyes.

She also has a dagger to protect herself and Xiaowei but she wasn’t confident if that small dagger will do anything to this enormous bear.

The only weapon she was confident about was a bow and an arrow. Even though this is Yang Ning’s body, she still remembers everything about when she used to do archery.

.....

From the methods and techniques to the nervousness and thrill she used to feel before every shot.

This is the moment. It’s going to be the biggest and the most important test of her life.

She cannot afford to fail this test.

At this moment, her mind went blank, and other than protecting Xiaowei who was in danger, she cannot see or think of anything else.

It doesn’t matter what her identity is, Yang Ning or Fang Li, all she knows is that she cannot let this girl, who always supported her, get hurt in front of her.

She has to hit the bear at the right point.

She gritted her teeth and took her stance while pointing the arrow at the large black bear in front of her who was chasing after them.

She steadied her trembling hands and took a deep breath to focus on the bear who almost caught up to them.

She can only shoot once because she only has one arrow left with her as the other arrows that she was carrying on her back seems to have fallen when she was running away from the bear.

Also, the time was so precious that she will not get another chance to shoot the arrow again and save Xiaowei.

One miss and everything will be over.

Rather than hastily shooting the arrow, Yang Ning focused on the bear and analyzed what could be the best point to shoot the arrow so that the bear will be taken down at once.

When the bear was about to pounce on Xiaowei who was on the ground, Yang Ning held her breath and drew the bow by pulling on the string by using the arrow and aiming at the wild bear who was about to attack Xiaowei.

~WHOOSH~

Before the bear could attack Xiaowei, it got shot by Yang Ning’s arrow and let out a monstrously loud and painful growl before it fell to the ground.

Yang Ning couldn’t move an inch as she watched the huge bear fall to the ground. For a few seconds, she was so shocked and dumbfounded that she stared at the bear in doubt, who was on the ground.

Did....Did she make it? She wondered.

Xiaowei’s eyes enlarged in shock and she was stunned about what happened just now.

She thought that she was going to die, however, she wasn’t expecting that she would be saved from this attack.

It was no less than a miracle.

The bear was about to attack her and her lady saved her? That too with a bow and the arrow? That’s even more shocking.

Her lady never learned such a skill in her life. How did he manage to save her by using a bow and the arrow only?

She was speechless but cannot be happier at the moment. So.... is she safe now?

While Xiaowei was shocked, Yang Ning finally woke up from her stupor and let out a sigh of relief. She couldn’t believe that she did it and Xiaowei is also safe.

“XIAOWEI.....” Yang Ning didn’t hesitate for a minute as she threw away the bow and arrow and went to Xiaowei to give her a tight hug.

She almost lost her. However, she is safe now.

“You must be scared, right?” Yang Ning patted her head and comforted her.

Xiaowei couldn’t control her emotions anymore and embraced her back as she cried miserably in her embrace, ” My lady...I was so scared earlier. I thought I was going to die.” She wailed while hugging Yang Ning tightly.

“Shh. It’s alright. You’re safe now.” Yang Ning said and assured Xiaowei by calming her down.

While Yang Ning and Xiaowei were hugging each other and were crying, Zheng Liang and Gu Lan who came running to find them were shocked to see the scene unfolding in front of them.

A while ago, when Zheng Liang heard a scream from the woman, he was so scared that he came running to find them as fast as possible.

However, on his way, he was so shocked to find Gu Lan, who was also running to go back to Yang Ning and Xiaowei.

He thought that Yang Ning has Gu Lan, who will protect her and will not let her be harmed in any way. However, his anxiety doubled to see him away from Yang Ning and not standing by their side to protect them.

He told him to escort them to Yang Household. How can he ignore his command and leave them to go back alone?

Were his words mean nothing to him? How can he be so irresponsible? What if something happens to Yang Ning because of his ignorance?

He wanted to scold him but it was not the time to do this. His priority was Yang Ning, who was in danger at the moment.

He will deal with him later.

However, when they finally found them, they were shaken to see the bear who was sprinting toward them and was about to attack Xiaowei who was on the ground.

Before Zheng Liang and Gu Lan could interfere and slash the bear with their long and sharp swords, someone attacked the bear and hit him at his vital point with an arrow and he fell right away to the ground.

That someone was none other than, but Yang Ning.

Everything happened so fast that they did not even have the time to react in time or to even breathe. It was so suffocatingly uncomfortable.

Zheng Liang and Gu Lan were so dumbfounded that they stood frozen on the side as they watched the bear who was on the ground and Xiaowei and Yang Ning were having their emotional moment.

“Go....and check on the bear. Be careful.” Zheng Liang signaled Gu Lan to go and check on the bear if it was alive or not.

They cannot take any risk because if it is alive then it might attack them again. Because hunting bears with bow and arrows is not an easy task and not anyone can do that.

Especially when the bear is so close and it will be hard to penetrate the arrow through his thick skin.

There is no way he will die on the spot with just one hit of an arrow.

Gu Lan cautiously went near the bear to check on him. After making sure, he pursed his lips and looked toward Zheng Liang with a complicated gaze.

Gu Lan didn’t need to say anything as Zheng Liang understood the meaning of his gaze and that the bear was dead already. The bear that they were trying to hunt down for so many days is in front of them, dead. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

Although there were times that they encountered the bear but couldn’t hunt him down because he was so fast that he always ran away or managed to attack people, even though there were experienced guards equipped with weapons.

However, Yang Ning, who is a noble lady and never learned how to use weapons like a bow and an arrow, how can she shoot down the bear in one shot only?

It was shocking. Utterly shocking!

While Zheng Liang and Gu Lan were trying to recover from this shock, they heard the panicking cry of Xiaowei, “MY LADY, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?”

“MY LADY, WHAT’S HAPPENING TO YOU? PLEASE WAKE UP!!”
