On Gu Bei and Princess Yuehua's side, Princess Yuehua was calm and relaxed. She smiled and kept looking at Gu Bei from time to time, as if she was full of curiosity about him. Gu Bei seemed a little nervous, looking straight ahead, and always keeping a serious expression, as if he was deliberately avoiding Princess Yuehua's sight.

"General Gu, do I look scary? Why don't you dare look at me?" Princess Yuehua suddenly asked with a hint of ridicule in her tone.

Gu Bei paused for a moment when he heard this, but soon regained his composure: "How could that be? It's just that the princess is of noble status, and I dare not offend her. Moreover, there is a difference between men and women, and I dare not overstep my bounds."

After hearing this, Princess Yuehua couldn't help but burst out laughing, her laughter was crisp and pleasant: "General Gu, there is no need to be so reserved since there are no outsiders here. How about I call you Third Brother like An Ning does?"

Gu Bei frowned, looking embarrassed: "Princess, this is against etiquette..."

Princess Yuehua disagreed and said coquettishly: "Oh, don't talk about those rules and etiquette outside, otherwise it will be so boring! Third brother, let's go faster. If we don't catch any prey in a while, An Ning will laugh at us." As she said that, she quickened her pace on her horse and walked towards the depths of the woods.

Gu Bei had no choice but to follow her. The two walked side by side, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

Gu Bei was very familiar with hunting. He took Princess Yuehua through the forest, looking for traces of prey. The two of them were not in a hurry and soon harvested some small animals.

On the other side, Su Lun and Xiao An Ning were in a crisis. They walked carefully and suddenly found a tiger taking a nap in front of them. Xiao An Ning swallowed nervously and asked in a low voice: "General Su, what should we do now?"

Su Lun frowned, made a gesture to keep quiet, and said softly: "Shh, be careful. Let's retreat quickly before it wakes up..."

However, fate always likes to play tricks on people. At this moment, the tiger suddenly opened its eyes, as if it felt someone disturbed its sweet dream. It raised its head, exhaled in the direction of Su Lun and Xiao An Ning, and then let out an angry roar.

The forest was so quiet that it seemed as if time had stopped flowing, but this roar broke the silence like a bolt from the blue, resounding throughout the forest. Its volume was so loud that even Gu Bei and Princess Yuehua, who were far away, could hear it clearly.

Gu Bei's face turned gloomy in an instant, his worry evident in his words: "Oh no, that's the roar of a tiger. Brother Su and the others may be in danger. Let's go and save them!" After saying that, he took Princess Yuehua without hesitation and rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.

At the same time, Su Lun held the bow and arrow tightly in his hand, his eyes firm and full of determination. He glanced at the long knife on the horse's back again, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down. He knew that facing such a ferocious beast, he must remain calm to deal with it.

Xiao Anning also clenched her fists and said with a firm look in her eyes: "I can't abandon you and run away alone. Let's deal with it together." Her voice was full of determination, which made people feel her inner courage and tenacity.

At this moment, the tiger rushed towards the two at an alarming speed. Su Lun roared, reminding Xiao Anning to be careful, and quickly shot three arrows. Two of the arrows hit the tiger's body accurately, but the tiger did not retreat, but was enraged.

The tiger let out a deafening roar and pounced towards Su Lun with anger and majesty.

Su Lun did not flinch at all. He quickly dodged the tiger's attack by moving sideways on his horse, raised his long sword, jumped off his horse and slashed at the tiger's back. The tiger sensed the danger, turned around flexibly, and blocked Su Lun's attack with its claws.

Su Lun's long sword collided with the tiger's claws, making a sharp metal collision sound. Su Lun was not frightened by the tiger's counterattack, but became more excited. He waved his long sword again and attacked the tiger.

This time, his attack was even more fierce. The long knife drew an arc in the air and slashed the tiger fiercely. The tiger roared in pain, and a deep wound appeared on its body. However, the tiger did not give up and pounced on Su Lun again.

Su Lun was not afraid, he blocked the tiger's attack with his long sword and kicked the tiger's abdomen. The tiger was kicked to the ground by Su Lun, but it stood up quickly and continued to attack Su Lun.

Xiao An Ning, who was standing by, seized the opportunity and shot several arrows in succession with his hands like a phantom. Several arrows hit the tiger accurately, but the effect was not significant, and it aroused its fierceness even more. The tiger instantly gave up the fight with Su Lun and turned to run towards Xiao An Ning.

Su Lun was horrified and shouted, "Second Miss, get out of the way!" Then he leaped up with all his strength and pounced on the tiger. The long knife cut a deep wound on the tiger's back, and blood gushed out immediately.

The tiger felt the pain, turned around angrily, and kicked Su Lun to the ground. But Su Lun was not afraid. As he fell to the ground, he quickly took out a small slingshot from his collection and shot it at the tiger's eyes without hesitation. The tiger was unable to dodge and was stabbed in the eye by the sharp bullet. The severe pain made it scream.

Su Lun took the opportunity to pick up the long knife that had fallen on the ground and stabbed it into the tiger's abdomen with all his strength. The tiger shook its body in pain for a few times and tried to struggle to escape. However, Su Lun did not give it a chance to breathe. He quickly took out the dagger from his waist and stabbed it into the tiger's neck accurately and swiftly.

The tiger's body twitched a few times, it let out a few mournful cries, and then slowly fell to the ground and lay motionless.

Su Lun fell to the ground as if he had lost his strength.

Xiao Anning ran over: "General Su, are you okay? Oh, you lost a lot of blood..."

"It's okay, all the blood is from the tiger. I'm not injured, just a little tired. I just need to sit down and rest for a while." Su Lun said, panting.

"Let me help you to rest for a while..." Xiao Anning helped Su Lun to the side, took out the kettle and handed it to Su Lun.

Su Lun took it with both hands and said gratefully, "Thank you, Second Miss."

"What is there to thank me for? I haven't even thanked you for saving my life before." Xiao An Ning looked at him gently.

After drinking the water, Su Lun said with some concern: "Second Miss, I don't know if this tiger has any companions. It's not safe for us here. I'm fine now, so let's leave quickly. I don't know what's going on with Brother Gu and Princess Yuehua..."

"Oh my God, Brother Su, did you do this?" Just as Su Lun finished speaking, he heard a scream. It was Gu Bei and Princess Yuehua who came.
