Villain Lady

The feeling of the wind slapping her cheek was very comfortable. Wei Liuying's lips curled up in comfort as she rushed through the forest. She felt that the men were truly enviable. They could ride horse all the time they wanted.

After riding for some time, Wei Liuying stopped. She looked in the direction of the forest as her eyes scanned the ground before her.

"Young Master?"

"There's trace of deer's footsteps here," Wei Liuying replied. She hopped down from the horse and crouched down on the ground. Her hands noticed the special footsteps that could only be made by a deer.

Huo also hopped down and watched the ground. There were indeed some traces, but he couldn't recognize what animal it was. He was not that familiar with the animals in the forest as in his mind, they were mostly the same.

"Guard the horses."

"Yes, Young Master."

Wei Liuying rushed into the forest by following the footsteps. Not far from there, she could see some scratches on the plants. Male Deer loved to scratch their horns to the lower part of the plants in order to attract females and showed their masculine. These marks were left by them when they made such noise.

'They should be near.'

Walking around for a while, Wei Liuying finally found a bush and hid there. She had read a book that told her that deer often came back to the place it previously came to. Even though she couldn't say for sure whether the deer would return back or not, she would try her luck.

Time passed swiftly.

Wei Liuying stayed hidden in the bushes with her bow and arrow ready. Her eyes were scanning her surroundings with ease and waited peacefully. This was her first time hunting, so she was not sure what she could do to attract deer to come here. She could only hope that they would come.

If the deer didn't come, she would end up getting punished by her mother and brother. Well, worst case scenario, they would make her life even more miserable because of her poor luck.

Rustle.

Just as Wei Liuying was thinking, she heard the sound of leaves and branches hitting something. Her eyes turned sharp as her attention focused on the front. The bright brown color entered her eyes. There was a deer coming to her direction. Considering the large size of the horn, Wei Liuying guessed that it must be male deer.

Slowly, Wei Liuying positioned her bow and arrow. Her eyes focused to the deer before she released the arrow.

Dzing.

The arrow hit the deer's neck. It didn't directly kill the poor deer, so Wei Liuying had to shoot it again.

Wei Liuying dashed out of her hiding place while positioning her arrow once more. She shot out and the arrow hit the back leg of the deer, making it fall with a loud thud sound. In that moment, Wei Liuying dashed forward and stood before the deer. She could see the deer struggled to move, but she had placed an arrow and shot it straight to the deer's heart.

The deer died.

'Sorry, but I need you.'

Wei Liuying crouched near the deer and silently caressed its large body. She sighed and lifted the deer's corpse as she walked in Huo and the horses' direction. It was heavy, but she still could lift it thanks to her training.

Though, she would rather not have to lift this heavy meat.

"Young Master?" Huo called out when he heard the sound of someone coming. His eyes lit up upon seeing the deer on Wei Liuying's back. "You've succeeded! It's wonderful!"

"Bring this back to the villa. I'll be joining you soon."

"Ah."

Huo noticed that they only have two horses. Trying to bring the deer with the horse would require it to be tied in one. Wei Liuying would never want to ride with him, so it would be better for him to lead the deer away first.

"Is it alright?"

"Yes. I'll be going back by walking. Besides, your speed can't be too fast too. Also, be careful of the thieves."

This time, Huo smirked devilishly. "Don't worry, Young Master. No one will be able to steal this deer from me."

Wei Liuying nodded. She was not worried, though. The arrows that she used had the marks of Wei Family. The only person who could try to claim that the deer was his would be her brother. However, everyone already knew that Huo is her servant and Wei Yijun should be in a completely different place. 

The two of them used different ways.

Strolling inside the forest, Wei Liuying walked unhurriedly. There were still a lot of arrows left on her back. Her keen eyes suddenly noticed movements from bushes nearby. She readied her bow and arrow.

When the rabbit hopped out, the arrow was shot out.

It killed the rabbit instantly.

"I didn't know my luck will be this good," Wei Liuying muttered to herself. She bent down and picked the dead rabbit with a sigh. It can be an additional food for her since her mother never allowed her to eat that much.

If not for that, how can she stayed so short when both of her parents were taller than her?

Wei Liuying turned around, intending to leave when she felt chill running down her spine. Every fiber of her body was screaming the word danger as an alarm was triggered inside her mind. She turned her body around and noticed that there was something moving in her direction from a far.

A large wolf.

It was at least two meters' long based on her estimation with around two third of her height. The wolf had a long wound on its face that sliced through the surface of his skin. It made the wolf look even scarier.

Wei Liuying didn't dare to move.

The two were locked in a stalemate.

Neither the wolf and human moved as they stared at one another. They didn't dare to move in case one of them chose to attack first.
