She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 494 - 493: Showing Great Kindness on the Hunting Ground

Chapter 494: Chapter 493: Showing Great Kindness on the Hunting Ground

The little white rabbit was shot through from the abdomen, its crimson blood staining its white fur, an image even more tragic than the spotted deer’s.

"Miss Qin, will you save this little rabbit or not?" Yan Wanqing asked with a hint of a smile, her gaze calmly settling on Qin Erya.

She saw a flash of panic in the latter’s eyes, which quickly dissipated.

Qin Erya walked over to the side of the guard, and just as she extended her hand, the little rabbit kicked its legs and died on the spot.

The group of ladies let out a gasp of shock.

"...It’s truly a pity," Qin Erya sighed softly.

"Indeed a pity," she died at just the right time.

Yan Wanqing shook her head somewhat regretfully; if the rabbit had died later, perhaps she could have seen what action this disciple of Qin Jun, Qin Erya, would take.

It was a pity, the rabbit was dead.

But the spotted deer was still alive.

"I hope the Crown Princess Consort would be so kind as to spare the life of this spotted deer. Its mother and my little girl would be grateful to you."

Look at the way she phrased it, filled with the glow of sainthood.

"Miss Qin asking my sister might as well be asking me; maybe I can even bring this little rabbit back to life for you," came the playful voice of Yan Lingzhen from a corner.

The Crown Prince had just remembered that he had a sister with unmatched medical skills.

"That’s true, Xiaoliu’s medical skills are miraculous, capable of bringing the dead back to life. If Miss Qin truly likes this spotted deer and rabbit, then please implore Xiaoliu to take action."

Qin Erya was almost angered out of her defenses by this remark. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

It would be humiliating to beg for help from a girl who hadn’t even grown all her hair out yet.

In the time Qin Erya hesitated, Yan Lingzhen had already approached her.

First, she looked up to exchange a glance with her sister and brother-in-law on the platform, then tilted her head up to Qin Erya: "Is it that Miss Qin refuses to lower her head for the dying deer or do you look down on me as just a child?"

"How could that be? Miss Yan, what do you mean by that? If you pity this deer, you will surely lend your assistance," Qin Erya retorted.

Reading between the lines, if you lack compassion, you wouldn’t consider these small lives.

To leave an impression of a heartless person in front of these noble families would make it hard for them to say anything in her favor in the future.

Who would have thought that a simple statement could contain such sneaky intentions?

Yan Lingzhen sighed softly, shaking her head helplessly: "Miss Qin wants to be seen as a great benevolent person yet refuses to lower her head, expecting a child like me to take the initiative. Isn’t this the purest form of hypocrisy? My elders say a hypocrite is far more terrifying than an honest villain."

Qin Erya’s eyes grew noticeably darker, but she quickly put on a tearful expression: "Erya does not know where she has offended Miss Yan to deserve such public misrepresentation from you. If you do not wish to save the animal, then don’t, nobody is forcing you. But there is truly no need to target me in front of so many people..."

With that statement, the crowd’s gaze upon Yan Lingzhen turned somewhat reproachful.

Truly the sister of an enchantress, her methods of torment knew no bounds.

Xiao Pingfeng couldn’t stand it any longer.

How could he tolerate this bullying of his little sister?

Yet Yan Wanqing still held him back.

"Let’s watch a little longer, it’s not often we get to see Xiaoliu at a disadvantage."

Xiao Pingfeng: "...You really are her true elder sister."

Beneath the platform, in the face of the accusing eyes of the crowd, Yan Lingzhen shrugged nonchalantly.

"Miss Qin, you miss the point," began Yan Lingzhen. "The spotted deer is originally a target of the Autumn Hunt, a basis for the bet between the Crown Prince and the King of Chu Kingdom. Now that a little deer appears, you want to send it back to nature, back to its mother. If you do the same with all the animals hunted by everyone, then we might as well cancel the Autumn Hunt, and there’s no need for the Crown Prince and the King of Chu to continue their wager. Shall your Qin Family then offer the hundreds of Sweat-Blooded Treasure Horses instead?"

At these words, Qin Erya’s face turned pale.

She truly did not expect such a young girl to possess such eloquence.

Even Chu Qi, who was on the high platform, couldn’t help but clap and laugh heartily.

"Incredible, the daughters of the Yan Family are truly more remarkable one after the other."

Yan Wanqing shot him a glance, and Chu Qi instantly stopped his laughter, lightly coughing out loud, "I, for one, do not care who the Sweat-Blooded Treasure Horse is from. If the Grand Tutor of the Qin Family has this influence, I am also more than happy to accept it, and I believe the Crown Prince feels the same."

In front of everyone, Xiao Pingfeng nodded his head.

This time, Qin Erya’s complexion turned utterly dark.

"It seems Miss Qin does not wish to give up the Sweat-Blooded Treasure Horse, nor does she want the spotted deer to die." Yan Lingzhen’s eyes suddenly sharpened, "How bold of the Qin Family!"

Her voice, crisp and clear, struck everyone’s ears like a sudden knock on a newly made wooden fish.

"Is the Qin Family disregarding the Crown Prince and the King of the Chu Kingdom? To treat a bet between two countries as child’s play, does Miss Qin dare to do so? Could it be that the Qin Family is plotting rebellion?!"

At this statement, everyone dared not make a sound, and their gazes towards Qin Erya were filled with scrutiny.

Qin Erya was startled, "Do not spout nonsense! My Qin Family is utterly loyal to Dawei, how could we harbor a single thought of rebellion! You, young lady, should not speak carelessly and harm my family’s reputation!"

"So it’s not this, nor that." Yan Lingzhen touched her nose, leaning in closer, "Is Miss Qin, then, putting on a performance for us?"

"You—!" A murderous intent flashed in Qin Erya’s eyes.

Yan Lingzhen immediately jumped back, crying out, "Ah, how frightening, how terrifying, Miss Qin looks as though she’s about to kill someone!"

This wretched child!

Qin Erya’s slender fingers clenched tightly beneath her wide sleeves, "Miss Yan Xiaoliu!"

"Here." Yan Lingzhen blinked with her big, sparkling eyes, "Isn’t Miss Qin going to save the little deer? If you don’t, it’s going to get crushed to death."

Qin Erya immediately turned around, only to see that behind her, even more game had been gathered, blood oozing out from them, each displaying their own death throes.

While they were talking, many people had already caught their first prey and brought them here.

And that unfortunate spotted deer was now being pressed at the very bottom.

"Report—! General Rujin has once again successfully shot a leopard!"

Upon hearing this, it wasn’t just Xiao Pingfeng who got excited, even Chu Qi beside him couldn’t help but stand up.

In full view of the audience, four soldiers carried in a leopard as tall as a person and tossed it onto the ground.

This leopard was very large and extremely heavy.

Once they reached the spot, the four soldiers dropped the weight, throwing the leopard onto the ground.

From Yan Lingzhen’s angle, she could just see the spotted deer spitting out blood from being crushed...

Well, no need to save it now; it was dead as a doornail.

She clicked her tongue, drawing a cold breath.

No one was concerned about Qin Erya’s spotted deer anymore.

All eyes were on the leopard.

"This fur, this color, it’s indeed excellent. Wanwan, I shall ask for this pelt from your fifth sister and use it to line your soft couch in winter," Xiao Pingfeng whispered softly, eyeing the leopard with shining eyes, already contemplating how he would use it.

Yan Wanqing couldn’t help but smile at this, her eyes drifting once more to Qin Erya, who stood aside, dusty and gray, her gaze full of undisguised irony.

A mere buffoon.

If not for such people, to whom else would the term apply?

Showing great kindness at the Hunting Ground, is one’s brain made of paper? Or does one think such actions would make men see her as kind-hearted and thus look upon her differently?
