At this moment, the leopard was leisurely standing in the wild grass, its gaze directed elsewhere, without noticing them.
Upon hearing about the leopard, the Second Princess screamed in fright.
"Shut up, do you want to get us all killed?" Li Yuzhu quickly went to cover her mouth.
The Second Princess’s face went deathly pale with fright, her body trembling like a sieve.
The Princely Heir was at the front, stretching out his arm to shield his siblings behind him, "You all move back, run back, I’ll cover you!"
The Second Young Master shouted, "Are you mad? Brother, you’re covering us? Can a scholar like you take on a leopard?"
"I’m the eldest brother, no need for you to speak further, move back!" The Princely Heir’s eyes were tensely fixed on the leopard, pushing his siblings backward.
"If we leave, how will you escape?" The Second Princess began to cry softly, "I’ve heard leopards run exceptionally fast." f\ree webn ovel(.)com
The Princely Heir kept his unwavering gaze on the leopard, "I’ll act according to the situation."
Li Yuzhu grabbed the arm of the Princely Heir, "Eldest Brother, you all move back, I’ll deal with the leopard!"
The Princely Heir looked at her in surprise, "Third Sister, are you crazy? What are you trying to prove at this moment? Just because you received a few compliments, you think you’re really that capable?"
Indeed, Li Yuzhu couldn’t beat the leopard.
Nor could she outrun it, but she had anesthetic!
When the Second Princess discovered the leopard, she had already taken out medical anesthetic from her space.
Now, the leopard had not yet noticed them, it was the perfect opportunity for a sneak attack.
"I really have a way!" Li Yuzhu raised her hand to show everyone a piece of bamboo, "The tip of the bamboo is smeared with Powder for Anesthesia, it can subdue the leopard."
"Powder for Anesthesia? Where did you get that from?" The Princely Heir was astonished.
"I got it from Grandpa Qin’s house, didn’t his leg get injured? Among Granny Qin’s prepared medicines, there is a bit of Powder for Anesthesia, which I borrowed."
She was lying, Granny Qin’s house had no medicine at all.
"Alright, alright, quickly move back, once the leopard wakes up, you won’t be able to run even if you want to." Li Yuzhu pushed everyone back.
But at that moment, an arrow suddenly shot out from the forest ahead, hitting the leopard in one eye.
The leopard, in a furious rage, jumped up, rushing toward the direction of the archer.
"You all run quickly, I’ll deal with this leopard!" a voice shouted loudly.
Li Yuzhu recognized the voice; it was that young neighbor.
Only to see him dodging left and right in the forest, avoiding the leopard’s pursuit.
The Princely Heir reacted, pushing Li Yuzhu and the others to run back, "Someone’s distracting the leopard, let’s go quickly!"
But Li Yuzhu said, "You all go first, I’ll go to lend a hand!"
She stuffed two fire stones into the hands of the Princely Heir, "Eldest Brother, take this, go to the cave and light a torch!"
After she finished speaking, she ran off toward the leopard’s direction in big strides.
The Princely Heir stomped his foot in frustration, "Third Sister, come back!"
"Eldest Brother, you take the Second Sister and Third Brother and leave first, I’ll go help Third Sister!" The Second Young Master followed with big strides.
"I’m coming too!" The third brother, Li Xing’an, also ran along.
"Hey—" The Princely Heir shouted anxiously, "Be careful, all of you!"
"Eld... Eldest Brother... let’s go back to the cave..." The Second Princess was already shaking uncontrollably with fear.
"Right, we must go back immediately! What if the leopard gets into the cave, it would be troublesome! We must quickly notify Father!" The Princely Heir grabbed the Second Princess and ran back quickly.
Back at the cave, the Princely Heir recounted the encounter with the leopard to everyone.
The Great Princess screamed in fright, burrowing into the arms of Princess Consort Luling.
The Xue Family, terrified, dropped their daughter and jumped up, running outside.
