037 Beauty in Tiger’s Mouth

“Help!” a woman’s screams for help was extremely wretched as it drifted over. Linghu Shui Yue turned her ears to the side to listen and instantly mounted her warhorse, urging the horse in the direction of the desperate screams. The horse galloped wildly.

After a while, she charged into a dense forest. In a piece of shrubbery growing thickly deep in the forest, she suddenly heard a thunderous roar of a tiger!

Linghu Shui Yue looked up to search for the sound and saw, a woman being chased by a brightly colored massive tiger with its maws wide open in a roar, snarling and baring its claws, the woman stumbled along, totally helpless, danger looming, as she was about to be pounced on by the tiger.

Linghu Shui Yue came to a prompt decision, retrieving the folding fan in the cage of her sleeve, triggering the mechanism, a silver needle shot out, accurately landing on the tiger’s behind.

Having been shot by the silver needle that was previously coated with anesthetic, the tiger who was just snarling, clawing and roaring, fell over instantly.

That woman was already scared into collapsing on the ground. Seeing the tiger suddenly fall over, she was seemingly scared stupid. Sitting on the ground, she didn’t move an inch, watching in disbelief at the tiger that suddenly fell over.

Linghu Shue Yue drove the horse over and descended from the horse, bending down, “Young lady, are you fine? This tiger is asleep. Can you stand up?”

“It…it…it…tiger! Fell over!?” The young lady lifted up a dainty face that made the flowers lose their color. Linghu Shui Yue with just a glance couldn’t help being stunned by this young lady’s beauty.

This was in the remote wilds of the mountains. Before they came, there were no signs of life. No one came and went from this place. Just a moment of impatience, Linghu Shui Yue didn’t realize, she rushed into a slightly tall dense forest up the mountainside.

The young lady wasn’t dressed ordinarily. Her dress was that of a wealthy family’s young miss, not ordinary poor people. Her looks weren’t ordinary good looking, even can use the beauty of the country to describe this woman.

Especially she wore a pair of pure gold earrings, her face slightly long, eyes like peach blossoms lifting up to look at Linghu Shui Yue, a weeping beauty. Despite having turned pale from fear, she was even more moving to the heart, invoking people’s compassion and tenderness.

“It….it’s really asleep? Not…not dead?” The woman’s two hands were braced behind her, using her two legs to support her scrambling backward. Obviously, she was in a state of lingering fear and unable to stand up.

Linghu Shui Yue reached out a hand towards her, “It’s fine. I used anesthetized silver needle to hit it. For the time being, it doesn’t have the ability to do evil. You can get up!”

“REally? Thank you! Thank you! Benefactor, you…who are you?” The woman’s voice was delicate, it was a little sharp but pleasant to the ears, having a natural rustling sound.

“I am called Linghu Huo Ri. Come! I will pull you up! No need to fear! You’ve already escaped from the tiger’s mouth, snatched from the jaws of death!” Linghu Shui Yue said humorously.

Right at this moment, a round of horse hooves stamping neared in haste. Zhu You Hong’s voice booming as well as impatient, “Linghu Commander, be careful of deceit!”

The voice had yet to fade away, Linghu Shui Yue was swept by a gust of wind. Her entire person was taken by Zhu You Hong a ten feet and more distance from the woman.

Linghu Shui Yue realized she was dragged away by Zhu You Hong, protecting her behind him, blocking off that woman. The entire process was in an instant. She was incredulous saying, “Ninth lord, thanks for your intention of protection but aren’t you making a fuss over a trifling matter?”
