Villainess Wants To Turn Over A New Leaf
chapter-266

Lin Qing already had a stomachache and was not in a good physical condition, so he was thrown off his horse’s back. However, because of this, the tiger wasn’t able to get him as it landed on the other side. Turning its head, the beast rushed again towards Lin Qing, who at the moment, was still lying on the ground.

All this happened so suddenly— within a few seconds, the tiger moved violently and swiftly as it reappeared without warning. Seeing that Lin Qing was about to be mauled, Lin Feilu picked up the rabbit that she tied on her horse and flung it at the tiger.

She was the closest to Lin Qing, so with 100% of her force, the rabbit smashed on the tiger’s face.

Rabbits were living creatures, so although its legs were tied, that didn’t hinder its ability to struggle and resist. The tiger was attracted by the living creature that fell in front of it, so it roared loudly and swallowed the offering with its huge mouth.

This pause bought Lin Qing and his guards just enough time to react.

Lin Qing rolled away from the spot and escaped from the tiger’s reach. The surrounding guards also jumped off their horses and rushed ahead, beginning to entangle themselves in a fight with the tiger.

But human beings were merely that— just human beings. Compared with man-eating beasts, humans weren’t capable of being their opponents, let alone a creature that excelled in all forms of attack. Currently, the guards were crippled with a plain disadvantage in this fight.

Soon, a guard was bitten by the tiger on the shoulder, causing half of his arm to be torn off.

Although the guards tried their best to deal with the tiger and protect the Crown Prince’s retreat, the tiger seemed to have locked its sights on Lin Qing. It roared and pounced towards him, not giving up even if it missed its first initial tries.

The smell of blood and screams of agony echoed throughout the entire forest for a while.

All the horses were frightened and they ran away, but Lin Feilu didn’t jump off her horse immediately. Before she could react after throwing the rabbit, she was already led away by the white horse that galloped away from the bloody scene.

Lin Qing finally took a breath and heard the Little Fifth Princess’s anxious screams. He only had time to take a quick glance at her direction, but was relieved to see her being taken away by the white horse.

Some of the guards stayed behind to fight with the tiger and some protected him as they left, but without mounts, it was difficult to escape a tiger’s pursuit by running.

Lin Ting heard an agonising scream echoing behind him. In the end, even the scream died off, leaving only the deep roar of the tiger.

He even smelled the thick stench of blood behind him.

Today, I’m afraid that I’m actually going to die in a place like this.

Looking forward, the eaves of the Lanxing Palace could be seen faintly, but the fierce tiger behind him had already killed all the guards who stayed behind to fight it in their attempts to buy more time for Lin Qing to escape.

But after running so far, Lin Qing was the only one left in the forest.

He heard the roar of the tiger close behind, so he suddenly stopped pointlessly running away. He pulled out the short knife that was strapped around his waist, turned around sharply and threw himself at the tiger.

Since I can’t escape from the clutches of death anyway, I might as well drag you into the depths of hell together with me!

Lin Qing could no longer feel the pain in his stomach and his current discomfort. He was filled with rage— even if he was going to die, he planned to slice a piece of the tiger’s flesh along with him!

Just as he turned around, a stern voice suddenly shouted not far away, “Crown Prince, evade!”
