Chapter 354: Walking the Enemy’s Path
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chu Yuemu did not take Sky Saber seriously at all. In his opinion, it had to be weak since someone like Yu Yunxi could capture it.
Meanwhile, the attendant behind Chu Yuezheng said in a low voice, “Your Royal Highness, this is a good chance for you to perform. Why don’t you seize the chance?”
Consort Hong was usually passive so many ministers and officials did not support Chu Yuezheng. In Chu Yuezheng’s attendant’s opinion, if Chu
Yuezheng managed to tame the Snow Wolf King, everyone might look at Chu Yuezheng in a different light.
However, Chu Yuezheng did not seem to hear his attendant’s words. He fanned himself with a half-smile on his face as he slowly said, “Just watch. Seventh Imperial Brother is no match for that beast at all…”
‘What?’
The attendant was shocked and puzzled. He wondered if Chu Yuezheng looked down on Chu Yuemu too much or if the Snow Wolf King was truly powerful.
Chu Yuezheng narrowed his eyes as he stared at the side of Yu Yunxi’s face. At the same time, the result of his subordinate’s investigation flashed in his mind. ‘Tianxia’s Princess Regent and a female general? Heh, how interesting…’
On the other side, Yu Yunxi felt a pair of eyes trained on her. Although it made her unhappy, she was not in the mood to care about it now. All her attention was focused on Sky Saber at this moment.
Sky Saber stared at Chu Yuemu for a moment before it leaped over and brought its paw down on Chu Yuemu.
Chu Yuemu did not take Sky Saber seriously at all. He did not dodge, still thinking about how he could take the beast down with one move. When Sky Saber’s paw was about to land, he raised his hand and mobilized his inner energy, intending to deflect the attack.
However, unexpectedly, a powerful force surged from Sky Saber, rendering Chu Yuemu’s inner energy useless. Just like that, its paw landed heavily on Chu Yuemu’s shoulder.
Chu Yuemu felt his internal organs were in great pain, and his legs gave way. Blood trickled out from the corners of his lips immediately.
“Yuemu!” Consort Mu exclaimed in panic as she rose to her feet.
Chu Zai was surprised as he watched the scene.
‘Little Seventh was actually injured by that beast?’
At the same time, Chu Zhihe said anxiously, “Seventh Imperial Brother must have been unprepared so that beast managed to injure him! Seventh Imperial Brother, hurry up and get up! You must kill it!”
Chu Zhihe was very certain that her twin brother was not inferior to the Snow Wolf King.
Meanwhile, although Chu Yuemu was now worried about the Snow Wolf King, he knew he could not back down at this time. Otherwise, who knew what his father might do? In the next moment, his eyes shone viciously as he threw a dart out.
The dart shot out at an extremely fast speed.
‘Sneak attack?’
Yu Yunxi had been keeping an eye on Chu Yuemu so she immediately discovered his action. Her heart immediately leaped to her throat.
“Don’t worry. Trust Sky Saber,” Feng Yili said in a low voice.
Feng Yili’s voice seemed to have a calming effect, and Yu Yunxi quickly regained her composure.
‘That’s right. I should trust Sky Saber…’
On the other side, Sky Saber lived up to its masters’ expectations. Faced with Chu Yuemu’s sneak attack, it twisted its body nimbly and easily dodged the dart. Immediately after that, it kicked its hind legs out.
Chu Yuemu could not dodge in time, and a few scratches appeared on his face immediately. Blood began to seep out, making him look very miserable. Embarrassed and furious, he attacked in a frenzy. However, after exchanging dozens of blows, he still could not do anything to Sky Saber.
On the contrary, Sky Saber seemed to be toying with Chu Yuemu.
Even those who did not know martial arts could tell that the Snow Wolf King could easily defeat Chu Yuemu in a few moves. It was clear that it was toying with Chu Yuemu and making Chu Yuemu look bad.
‘Is the Snow Wolf King fully sentient?’
At this time, Sky Saber knocked Chu Yuemu to the ground. Then, it brandished its claws and aimed for his neck.
At this time, Chu Zai bellowed, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and save the Seventh Prince!”
‘Are these fools only going to make a move once he dies?’
The imperial guards returned to their senses and quickly rushed out to save Chu Yuemu. However, more than a dozen of them were injured by Sky Saber as soon as they approached.
At this moment, Zhou Kangsheng shouted, “This beast is a danger to everyone. Hurry up and kill it! Don’t let it hurt the Emperor!”
Soon, Sky Saber was surrounded.
At the critical moment, Yu Yunxi walked over and called out softly, “Sky Saber, be good and stop fighting.”
As soon as Sky Saber heard Yu Yunxi’s voice, it calmed down immediately. It seemed as docile as a cat, completely different from its ferocious appearance earlier.
At this time, Consort Mu ran to Chu Yuemu’s side. Her eyes were brimming with tears, and her heart felt like it was breaking as she called out anxiously, “Yuemu, Yuemu! Are you okay?”
After all, Chu Yuemu was Consort Mu’s son. Not only that, but he was also competing with the Crown Prince for the throne. How could she not feel distressed that her son was injured to this extent by a beast?
Consort Mu turned around and said angrily, “Your Majesty, you must kill this beast for Yuemu!”
Chu Zai’s expression was extremely dark. Even with Consort Mu’s words, he also wanted to kill the white wolf. Although the Snow Wolf King was rare and noble, it had hurt a prince. This was a slap to his face as the Emperor. No matter what, the Snow Wolf King had to die.
However, before Chu Zai could speak, Yu Yunxi lowered her head and said, “Your Majesty, I want to apologize.”
“Oh, why do you want to apologize?” Chu Zai asked, gnashing his teeth.
Yu Yunxi sighed, pretending like she was in a dilemma before she said, “I knew that the Snow Wolf King was difficult to tame, but I only gave a simple reminder and did not do my best to stop it. If I had known that Seventh
Imperial Cousin couldn’t tame it and that the imperial guards couldn’t do anything to it, I would’ve stopped it no matter what.”
Without giving Chu Zai a chance to speak, she walked toward Chu Yuemu and sighed before she continued to say, “Seventh Imperial Cousin, why didn’t you listen to my advice? I already said that the Snow Wolf King is wild and difficult to tame, but you still insist on…”
Yu Yunxi sighed again. She looked sorrowful as she said, “Forget it. You can’t be blamed for this. It’s all my fault. I should’ve tried harder to stop you. Even if it meant that Prime Minister Zhou would misunderstand me, I should’ve stopped
you..
Zhou Kangsheng’s turned red with anger. He naturally knew that Yu Yunxi was scolding him. After all, he had insisted on letting other people tame the Snow
Wolf King earlier. He really felt as though he had been slapped at this moment.
Chu Yuemu’s expression was also unsightly.
‘I actually lost to a beast! No, it’s because I was caught unprepared! I underestimated my enemy!’
Chu Yuemu tried to stand up, intending to tame Sky Saber again. However, as soon as he stood up, the wound on his leg caused him to fall to the ground again. He looked even more miserable than before.
Yu Yunxi turned to look at Chu Yuemu and said with clear eyes, “Seventh Imperial Cousin, do you still want to be injured by the Snow Wolf King again?”
Although Yu Yunxi sounded concerned, Chu Yuemu could hear the ridicule in her voice. He felt like he was going to go crazy from anger.
Just as Chu Yuemu was about to retort, Yu Yunxi said, “In any case, this is all my fault. Why didn’t I stop you? Even if you misunderstood me, I should’ve stopped you.”
