Chapter 39 – A Stab In The Back

[ Jiejie, you’re not asking for money. You’re asking for my heart!]

[I’m captivated. I’m crazy in love. The hero saves the beauty is always my weakness. I need to become Fan Feng. From this perspective, I can see my Lin-jie’s magnificent beauty.]

[I’ll still be shocked by Bai Lin’s archery skills if I watch it again. It’s so far away, and there’s resistance from the rain, and the bow and arrow are still very primitive, and she still hit it with 100% accuracy. Amazing!]

[Compared to Bai Xi, Bai Lin’s really infinitely likeable. When danger comes, Bai Xi only runs away by herself, but Bai Lin saves others in the nick of time.]

[The wolf isn’t dead yet! Why hasn’t the production team appeared yet?!]

The wolf was very smart. After Bai Lin’s arrow pierced through its hind leg, it turned around and pulled the arrow off. Its movements were a little staggering, but it was still wild as it faced Bai Lin like a predator.

Bai Xi watched from a distance and thought that the danger was over. She quickly climbed down the tree and slowly moved toward Bai Lin.

Bai Lin once again drew the arrow to her bow and made a shooting motion. Bai Xi blinked and quickly thought of a good way to kick Bai Lin out of the program logically.

Wolves were in packs. The howls they had heard earlier were all over the place. It was impossible for only one wolf to make such a sound. This lone wolf might have lost its way or come to investigate; there would definitely be more wolves coming after its scent.

It was easy for Bai Lin to deal with one wolf, but what about ten of them? 20 of them, even?

As long as Bai Xi could stall for time, the first person the wolves would deal with when they came would be Bai Lin who had injured the wolf.

Bai Xi’s gaze were dark. Just as Bai Lin was about to shoot the arrow, she suddenly held her hand and looked at the wolf pitifully. “Jiejie, it’s just hungry, so it ran out to eat people. It’s just following the law of survival. It’s not wrong. Can you not kill it?”

Bai Lin looked at Bai Xi with a cryptic smile. Under such a gaze, Bai Xi felt like she was naked with all her ulterior thoughts exposed.

She gritted her teeth and suppressed this strange feeling, saying sorrowfully, “It’s a life, after all. How can you take it away just like that?”

Bai Lin chuckled. “You’re so kind, meimei. Were you as kind when you were forced up the tree by the wolf?”

Tears hung from the corners of Bai Xi’s eyes as she said in a trembling voice, “Jiejie, let it go.”

[Bai Xi’s so repulsive. She’s suddenly becoming kind at this time. When she pushed Fan Feng out, why didn’t she ask to let the wolf go?]

[What right does she have to make Bai Lin do this? Did she forget who got scared like a dog just now?]

[Looking at Bai Xi is just dirtying my eyes. How can she do such a stupid thing? Why hasn’t she quit the show?]

[Ridiculous. Where are Bai Xi’s fans? Not daring to come out and speak now?]

[… Xixi’s just too kind. She must have her own reasons for doing this. Besides, it’s only right for Bai Lin to save them! Bai Lin still owes Bai Xi a life!]

[I’m really speechless. Zhao Yuan was just slandering Bai Lin and saying that she wanted Bai Xi to be disfigured. Let’s not talk about whether it’s true or not. How did it become that Bai Lin owes Bai Xi a life when it comes to you guys?]

[Bai Lin doesn’t owe anyone anything!]

The wolf did not know what these people were talking about. Seeing that they seemed to have relaxed, it quickly rushed toward Bai Lin.

Bai Xi was very close to Bai Lin. She screamed and dodged. Bai Lin turned sideways and grabbed the wolf’s hind leg, throwing the big wolf that had jumped up to the height of a human to the ground, and pressed her whole bodyweight on the wolf.

She was a hunter, and the wolf was her most insignificant prey.

After struggling for a few seconds, the wolf realized that it could not move at all, so it howled as if communicating like a human.

“Jiejie, it’s so pitiful, let it go,” Bai Xi said.

Bai Lin tilted her head and looked at Bai Xi for a few seconds. “Are you being serious?”

Zhao Yuan’s legs were weak as she walked over and held Bai Xi, weakly saying, “I’ve seen a movie before. It’s said that wolves are very vengeful animals. If you kill it, the wolf pack will definitely hunt down the enemy endlessly.”

Bai Lin sneered, “Why don’t you watch a more serious doc.u.mentary? This is a wolf. If you let it go, it’s going to relay the news.”

Bai Xi’s voice was soft, but her att.i.tude was firm. “But there are also situations where wolves repay kindness. If you let it go, it’ll definitely remember your kindness.”

Lin Shu’s gla.s.ses fell off while he was running. He walked toward Bai Lin and said tiredly, “Thank you. Just do what you want, don’t listen to them.”

Zhao Yuan scowled a little but due to the Lin Family’s power, she forced a smile and said, “Mr. Lin, that’s not right. We’re just giving our ideas too.”

“It’s too late.”

Bai Lin looked up and saw pairs of green wolf eyes from the gap of the gra.s.s across them. She let go of the injured wolf and it returned to its pack howling softly. The expressions of the wolves at the back turned fiercer.

Bai Xi had actually sprung up the tree silently then.
