Venomous Empress Reborn

Chapter 61: Blood on the Arrowhead

“You guys were the ones who set the rules, and now you’re the ones who refused to abide by the rules. Do you think you can do whatever you want? Are all the officials in Ming Qi like this?” Her words were sharp, making Lord Cai immediately break out in cold sweat.

There were so many of his colleagues present. Some of them were his friends, and naturally, there were also his foes. Moreover, there were members of the royal family here. If he was not careful, the entire Cai family would probably be in trouble, let alone Cai Lin.

“Miss Shen is right.” It was Prince Yu who spoke. He smiled at Shen Miao strangely and said, “Lord Cai, Young Master Cai naturally has to abide by the rules he set up.”

As soon as he said that, everyone immediately looked at Shen Miao with meaningful gazes.

Prince Zhou and Prince Jing looked at each other. Prince Jing sighed and said, “Even Uncle spoke up for her.”

“Perhaps we will have a young aunt soon?” After saying that, Prince Zhou felt that it was funny and shook his head without saying anything.

Since Prince Yu had already spoken, no matter how unhappy Lord Cai was, he did not dare to refute. Although he was angry, he could only bite the bullet and say, “I… I didn’t think it through.” He glared at Cai Lin and turned to leave.

Cai Lin watched his father leave, feeling anxious. He originally thought that Shen Miao was just good at trash talking, but when he met Shen Miao’s eyes, he couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine. She was like a calm beast. She looked like a little girl, but was she so scary?

He lowered his voice and said, “If you hurt me, the Cai family will definitely not let you off.” This was a threat. Cai Lin was now in a difficult position. If Shen Miao missed her mark, he would lose his life. When he was hunting with his good friend, he had seen arrows shoot into the eyes or buttocks of his prey. The way the prey struggled and died was really tragic.

He only hoped that Shen Miao would know her limits and draw the bow gently. He whispered again, “If you cooperate this time, in the future… in the future, I won’t find trouble with you in Guangwen Hall.”

Shen Miao raised an eyebrow and looked up at him.

Cai Lin looked nervous, as if he was afraid that she would not agree. Unfortunately, Shen Miao had seen many such people in her previous life. They were just bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Now, they were afraid, so they begged. Once today’s matter was over, Cai Lin would definitely be like before and would even wait for an opportunity to take revenge.

She smiled. “I gave you a chance to kill me, but you didn’t dare.”

“Now that it’s my turn to answer this question, do you want to hear my answer?”

Her face was as smooth as jade, and it was slightly tender, like a young sprout growing in spring. However, her words were so ferocious that it made one’s heart palpitate.

“I dare.”

After saying that, she turned around and walked to the shooting stage.

Cai Lin stood rooted to the ground in a daze. He only came back to his senses when the examiner called his name. Only then did he realize that everyone was looking at him with anticipation.

His gaze landed on the girl in pink in the women’s section. Shen Yue was talking to someone beside her and did not look at the stage. He suddenly felt a little disappointed.

He was the one who called Shen Miao now, so there was no reason for him to back down now. If he lost to a woman, the Cai family would probably become a laughing stock in the capital. Moreover, Shen Yue was watching from below the stage. If he made a fool of himself, he could forget about pursuing her.

Did she really dare to kill someone? Even if she had signed a death contract, kissing was never an easy thing.

After thinking this through, Cai Lin mustered up the courage and walked to the white line 30 feet away before placing the apple on his head.

Everyone looked at him and then at Shen Miao, feeling a little strange.

In the distance, Xie Jingxing asked, “Do you think she will miss her mark?”

“Of course she will.” Su Mingfeng glared at him. “Let’s not talk about whether she has the guts to shoot Cai Lin or not. Even if she does, does she have the ability? There are very few women who practice archery. Moreover, you should know that Shen Miao is a good-for-nothing in the capital.”

Xie Jingxing chuckled. “Not necessarily.”

“Are you going to bet with me again?”

“Why bother? I can already see the ending.”

Su Mingfeng was used to his good friend being mysterious, so he said, “What ending?”

Xie Jingxing said lazily, “You lose.”

Shen Yue looked at Shen Miao on the stage and her heart tightened. She asked Chen Ruoqiu in a low voice, “Mother, will she hurt Young Master Cai?”

“Of course not.” Chen Ruoqiu looked at her daughter, who was a little unlike herself today because of Shen Miao, and couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. Thinking that her daughter was still too young and couldn’t remain composed, she said, “It’s not that easy to shoot. I heard from your uncle that drawing the bow requires strength. When has your fifth sister ever drawn the bow and shot an arrow in the mansion? I’m afraid it’s already difficult for her to pick up the bow. Don’t let your thoughts run wild. Your fifth sister is just playing around.”

Was Shen Miao really just playing around?

Of course not.

She raised her hand, positioned the arrow, and drew the bow in one go. Her movements were smooth, as if she had practiced it thousands of times.

The next moment, the arrow flew towards Cai Lin with killing intent.

The entire place fell silent. In the dead silence, the arrow that fell to the ground made a crisp sound.

There was some blood on the arrowhead.
