Sure enough, Yun Youlian, who had just taken a few steps, almost stumbled and fell. Then, she walked decisively to the target, turned back to give Qu Tan'er a fierce glare as a warning, and slowly placed the apple on her own head.
"Mistress, Lady Yun is glaring at you," Jingxin remarked.
"Is she that sharp-eyed?" Qu Tan'er no longer wasted time. She picked up the arrow, pulled the string, struggled a bit, but stubborn as she was, she wouldn't admit defeat and managed to aim the arrow in the direction of the target.
"The bow is not pulled like that."
Suddenly, Mo Liancheng approached with leisurely steps, taking the bow, arrow, and Qu Tan'er into his embrace, then adjusted her posture.
Qu Tan'er's body stiffened for a moment, a brief loss of focus, but she quickly regained her composure, focusing on the bow and arrow in her hands. If it weren't for Mo Liancheng's sudden approach, she might not have been able to handle the bow, let alone, shoot the arrow. However, their proximity was too close, and the faint fragrance on him, coupled with his warmth on her back, made it hard for her to ignore him.
"Can you hold it?" Mo Liancheng exhaled lightly, asking calmly.
"I'll try it, and you'll know," Qu Tan'er raised her eyebrows, a hint of stubbornness appearing on her small face, showing no signs of surrender.
"Unfortunately, your posture is wrong now."
"Isn't this what you just taught me?" Qu Tan'er rolled her eyes at the sky, not pleased.
"I did teach, but you're too clumsy. You can't even get the angle right," Mo Liancheng flashed a smile with a hint of mockery. Did she also have moments of confusion? But the appearance of her little face was truly amusing.
"Huh?..." Qu Tan'er raised her eyes to look in the direction the arrow was pointing, pursed her lips, suddenly realizing that her target wasn't aligned correctly, and the direction was a bit off. She accepted the criticism without complaint, "Thanks Mo Liancheng, I'm a bit visually impaired on my own."
Then, Mo Liancheng loosened his grip on her slightly.
Qu Tan'er narrowed her beautiful eyes, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Looking at Yun Youlian, she slowly aimed the arrow at her.
Intentionally, not aiming at the apple, but at the heart...
Suddenly, Yun Youlian broke into a cold sweat, extremely nervous, and her delicate cheeks turned pale.
For a long time, Qu Tan'er maintained the same posture, deliberately not releasing the arrow.
In fact, she just wanted to scare Yun Youlian. Shooting the arrow off the string was easy for her, but hitting the apple was unlikely. If a life were really lost, it would be troublesome.
"Why not shoot?" Mo Liancheng asked, lowering his head to glance at the person in his arms.
"Mind your own business," Qu Tan'er replied without any patience.
"How about this Prince help you?" Mo Liancheng raised an eyebrow, suddenly bending forward again. Despite her dissatisfaction, he reached out, enveloping her small hand holding the arrow string, and corrected her posture once again.
The arrow was on the string, ready to be released.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense!
More tense than when Qu Tan'er pulled the bowstring. If Qu Tan'er might miss the mark, Mo Liancheng wouldn't. However, Qu Tan'er, in order to scare Yun Youlian, aimed the arrow not at the apple but at her heart. If this arrow was released, Yun Youlian's life would definitely be lost here.
"Your Highness, our Lady is still over there," a maid by Yun Youlian's side spoke up when she saw Mo Liancheng taking serious action.
"Why, do you want to replace her?" Mo Liancheng asked, not even glancing at the maid who spoke.
"The servant dare not," the maid exclaimed in shock, too frightened to say more.
