The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

Although some people were nervous and afraid of the arrival of the wolves, since the wolves had not yet arrived, Mrs. Ruan began to complain: "What's going on? I just fell asleep and was woken up. Where are the wolves?"

"Stop yelling! You called the wolf here even though there was no wolf at all!"

Mr. Ruan was helpless with this jumpy wife. He had married this girl from a humble family despite the pressure from his parents because he was attracted by her beauty, gentleness and thoughtfulness. However, who would have thought that her true nature would be exposed after the marriage. Not only was she ignorant, she also put a lot of restrictions on him, and even when he took a concubine, she gave him a cold shoulder. She was really hard to serve!

"Mom is right, we really didn't see any wolf! What are you doing so late at night? Maybe it was because it was dark and we couldn't see clearly." The speaker was the eldest son of the Ruan family, the eldest grandson of Old Lady Ruan, and he was very impatient at the moment.

Before he finished speaking, everyone heard a wolf howl: "Awoo—" Old Mrs. Ruan and the eldest son of the Ruan family were startled, and everyone else also became alert.

Some women and children were already crying loudly, but for fear of attracting wolves, they could only be held by the men in the family and sob quietly.

"Awoo--" The sound was getting closer and closer. The officers held long swords, and the others also held knives, shovels and other sharp weapons. No one dared to say a word.

However, in a flash, many pairs of green eyes appeared in the woods, which made people shudder. No one expected there would be so many wolves. Everyone was frightened and some children even screamed.

"Awooo——" With the howl of the leader wolf, the battle was about to break out.

Dozens of wolves howled and pounced on the team, biting people. Mu Yibai first used his internal force to shock the wolves, and then swung his sword to kill them with a fatal blow.

Fu Yunxi used a whip to whip the wolf's neck, head and other vulnerable parts, and the wolf that was hit basically lost its fighting ability.

Mu Yiheng was also fighting hard among the wolves. The people from the main branch of the Mu family had already formed a circle with their backs to each other. In the middle were Jiang and Lin with their two little girls, who were keeping each other warm.

Everyone else was fighting hard with weapons in hand. Liu assisted Mu Yiheng in finishing off the enemy, while Luo and Aunt Jiang swung their swords together to chop at the jackal. They were truly as brave as any man.

The Chen family was relatively more adept at dealing with the situation because there were many men there, all holding sharp tools such as swords, shovels, etc., so the wolves could not get close for the time being.

However, in the blink of an eye, many pairs of green eyes suddenly appeared in the woods, which was creepy. Everyone was startled and some children even screamed out of fear.

The same thing happened at Wang's house. As soon as one wolf was killed, another one would immediately rush up.

The officers and soldiers fought the wolves with all their might, while Cai and the people from the second branch, who were nearby, hid behind the officers.

Mu Yiguo was unconscious, and Mu Yifan was so scared that he wet his pants. He had no will to fight and kept hiding behind Cai.

Old Mrs. Ruan went even further. Not only did she not help, she also ran around and screamed, which made things worse.

Although the Zhu family had no weapons, they all used kitchen knives and shovels to fight the wolves.

This was undoubtedly a fierce battle. The wolves kept attacking people. It was estimated that there were at least fifty or sixty of them. However, with everyone's joint resistance, most of them were quickly killed.

"Awooo--" Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the leader wolf immediately gave a signal and turned around to attack the horses. In an instant, the wolves rushed towards the frightened horses. The horses became even more panicked, and were helplessly dragged by the cart, unable to escape. They could only circle in place and were bitten by the wolves.

"Kill the wolf first!"

Mu Yibai shouted immediately when he saw that the situation was not right. Everyone soon realized that so many wolves were following the orders of the leader wolf to attack. If the leader wolf was killed, they would surely lose their composure.

Mu Yibai used his inner strength to leap up and swung his sword at the wolf's neck. The sword was sharp, and in an instant, the wolf's head was chopped off. Mu Yibai knelt on one knee, holding the sword in his hand and thrusting it deep into the ground.

"Ouch——"

"Brother Bai——"

"Husband—"

For a moment, the scene seemed to freeze. When the wolves saw their leader dead, they wailed and became chaotic.

Jiang and Luo watched Mu Yibai pounce on the wolf with their hearts in their throats. When they saw him squatting on the ground, they shouted anxiously.

Fu Yunxi was not worried about Mu Yibai at first, because she knew that his legs were enough to deal with a wolf, but his last kneeling scared her, and she hurried forward to help Mu Yibai up.

"I'm fine. Let's take this opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop." Mu Yibai held Fu Yunxi's hand, making her feel extremely relieved. Only then did Fu Yunxi realize that he did it on purpose to prevent others from noticing anything unusual.

"Okay, I'll help you to the wheelchair."

The crowd then came to their senses and started a second round of fierce battle with the wolves. The remaining wolves were obviously unable to cope and their attacks were just random bites.

Everyone worked together and killed all the wolves.

Mu Yiheng looked at the corpses of the wolves in front of him and killed them one by one to prevent future troubles.

Upon seeing this, the officers followed suit. Only after they were sure that the wolves were no longer breathing did they feel relieved.

Everyone stood in the hazy night, gazing at the scene before them in the moonlight and firelight.

Wolf corpses were lying everywhere and the ground was covered in blood. Most people were exhausted and collapsed to the ground. Some were injured, some were crying, and they all lamented the injustice of the world. They were already wronged and their homes were confiscated, and there was a famine during their exile. Now they had just escaped from the snake's den and entered the wolf's lair. What should they do?

"The master has woken up! Master, what happened to you? Are you hurt?" The third aunt was originally immersed in sorrow, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Mu Yiguo, who was lying on the carriage, coughing and trying to sit up, so she hurried forward to check.

"What? The master is awake?" Upon hearing the sound, Cai and several concubines hurried over. Cai and the third concubine helped Mu Yiguo up on the left and right, and the others stood aside.

"Master, do you feel uncomfortable? You were unconscious for several hours just now, which scared me. Woo woo woo."

"Don't talk for now. Your howling makes me a little dizzy. Do you have any water or food?" Mu Yiguo had just opened his eyes and was not yet fully conscious. He really couldn't stand Cai's chattering in his ears.

"Yes, everything. Bring some water and meat."

Liu obeyed the order and brought over the remaining snake meat and a bag of water from tonight. The snake meat was originally meant to be reserved for their enjoyment tomorrow morning, but now that Mu Yiguo had woken up, it was naturally the top priority for the second house, so they had to take out the food and water.

"Master, these are the water and snakes that Faner got from the mountains today. Our Faner has grown up and can handle things on his own."
