Chapter 786: Chapter 786: Conquered by Nan Feng _1

The Emperor, too, didn’t feel good about bowing out. It had been agreed that the gambler must accept the loss. To argue with a woman would tarnish the dignity of an emperor. And so, after several rounds, the Emperor realized he couldn’t outshoot Nan Feng and gave up entirely, letting her take every shot.

Nan Feng didn’t yield an inch. She didn’t hide her talents just because the man beside her was the Emperor, but grew bolder instead.

The Emperor ended up just watching Nan Feng, her nimble figure darting around the forest, her arching stance, her running form. Sometimes when the prey she hit was too fierce, like a wild boar, and it was not killed in one shot and tried to attack her, the Emperor would consider lending her a hand.

But before the Emperor could make a move, Nan Feng would shoot her specially made Forget-Worries Arrow, and the boar had nowhere to escape.

The Emperor was stunned.

See, he wanted to conquer Nan Feng, but ended up thoroughly conquered by her.

Once the appointed time arrived and the sounds of drums from outside were heard, all the hunting contestants retired and returned to the starting area.

It was nearly dusk.

The ministers and royal relatives who weren’t hunting all came out and sat in the stands again.

The contestants who had left returned to their seats to drink tea, eat dim sum, and rest.

Xiaoqing promptly came over to pour tea for Nan Feng, then urgently asked, "Sister Nan Feng, how did you do? Did you have any gains today?"

Nan Feng sipped her tea and looked at Xiaoqing, laughing as she asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? Is winning or losing that important?"

Xiaoqing grumbled, "Sister Nan Feng, you don’t know. Today on the field, many palace maids asked me. They didn’t understand why you would think of hunting. They were afraid that you’d be eaten by the animals in the mountains and might not even make it back. If it weren’t for my patience, I would have fought with them."

Xiaoqing then whispered into Nan Feng’s ear, "Even though I didn’t fight with them, I put some croton in their food. They’ll be spending the night on the toilet. If they can’t control their mouths, I’ll make them unable to control their bottoms."

Nan Feng: "..."

After a long time, the guards who went out to collect the hunted game finally returned. According to the arrows on the game, they separated the kills into different piles. Soon, the area was filled with several small piles of game.

The pile labeled "Nan Feng" kept growing, slowly forming a mountain of game. It continued to grow taller, clearly showing she was likely to be first.

After everything was cleaned up, the presiding officer stepped forward to announce, "First place, Nan Feng; second place, Your Majesty; third place..."

The people present collectively gasped.

Later, everyone discussed, "She doesn’t use a crossbow, instead using her own equipment. How strange."

"Exactly. They say the Emperor was by her side all the time. He must have let her win. The Emperor is really generous, a true gentleman."

"..."

Nan Feng drank her tea, genuinely failing to understand what these people were thinking. It seemed as though, if she didn’t lose, she would be letting them down. After all, she was the wife of the nation’s top general. How bad could she be?

Insane.

The final proceedings were the award ceremony. Whoever won could claim the prize, provided by the Emperor. He had selected a range of presents that were placed on the prize stage in advance, including a Night Pearl, fancy clothing, jewelry, and even a golden crossbow.

Nan Feng was first and could choose first, but she didn’t like any of the prizes and simply chose the Night Pearl. When she came back, she gave it to Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, this is for you."
