Chapter 65: Boundless Hatred

Moreover, if the target had been a eunuch, she could have acted with complete abandon.

But now the target was Chi Nie. How could she possibly have the courage to shoot?

“I demand to change the target!” Yun Shang shouted in agitation.

She would never admit defeat!

Yun Zui raised an eyebrow and said, “Are you suggesting that Prince Nie is not as good as a eunuch or a palace maid?”

Yun Shang was at a loss for words after hearing this, and quickly explained, “That’s not what I mean. I’m afraid I might hurt Prince Nie.”

As soon as she said this, Yun Zui immediately followed up, “So little confidence in your archery? Yet His Highness Prince Nie is standing there, ready to be the target for both of us.”

After Yun Zui spoke, Yun Shang’s gaze instantly shifted to Chi Nie. The setting sun cast its glow across the sky, dyeing the clouds red. That bewitching man stood twenty meters away from her.

He was willing to be her target, but she had neither the courage nor the nerve to draw her bow.

Chi Nie’s phoenix eyes looked profoundly at Yun Zui.

What could he say about this woman? Bold and reckless?

He had never intended to be Yun Shang’s target! But since Yun Zui had spoken, he would reluctantly do it again. For Yun Shang to have him as her target was a blessing earned over several lifetimes.

To satisfy Yun Zui’s request, he would endure it.

And as for why he indulged Yun Zui so much—it was all because of Su Rantong.

In his eyes, Su Rantong was Yun Zui, and at this moment, Yun Zui was also Su Rantong, so he would, of course, treat Yun Zui with unconditional kindness.

Yun Shang could see it too. As long as Chi Nie remained there, no palace maid or eunuch dared take a step forward to stand by his side as a target.

Glaring fiercely at Yun Zui, Yun Shang gritted her teeth and said, “I concede!”

Yun Zui raised an eyebrow, then tossed the bow and arrow to a nearby eunuch.

The eunuch hurriedly caught them in a panic.

Yun Zui walked to the spot she had been sitting earlier, sat down, picked up the tea brought by a palace maid, took a sip, and then said to Yun Shang, “If you admit defeat, then do it!”

The deal was made: the loser would slap herself sixty times.

Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone in the Yun family turned grim.

Dou Saiqi glared daggers at Yun Zui, but what could she do?

“Master…” Dou Saiqi pitifully tugged at Yun Tai’s sleeve.

But Yun Tai was helpless too! When Chi Nie intervened, no one on the continent could do anything.

Tie Fan clenched his fists and ground his molars hard.

Excellent, Yun Zui had once again caused his woman to be publicly humiliated.

He would see Yun Zui utterly destroyed!

Yun Shang was aggrieved beyond measure, but Yun Yao was powerless to help.

The rules had been clearly stated from the beginning—there was no room for denial.

Yun Shang bit her lip, then slapped herself hard across the face.

Yun Xi and Yun Mo hadn’t used enough force at first, and Yun Zui had claimed they were just brushing their cheeks. So Yun Shang decided to be ruthless from the start, to avoid Yun Zui’s further criticisms.

Meanwhile, Yun Zui sat back and watched with leisure.

Perhaps she would spend her whole life in the ancient world—without amusement, wouldn’t life be unbearably dull?

So she might as well indulge in some intrigue and scheming as a pastime.

Chi Nie also returned to his seat, looking somewhat languid.

Yun Shang slapped herself again and again, each blow resounding clearly. The surroundings were so quiet that everyone could hear the sound of each slap, sending chills through their hearts.

Yun Qiang buried herself in Dou Saiqi’s arms, unable to watch any longer.

And Tie Fan’s hatred had already reached a boiling point, drawn out like a tidal wave!
