One Arrow Kill (4)

Li Yue never expected that before she could even make a move, Ye Lang had already shot an arrow past her like lightning, leaving her stunned for a moment.

It wasn't just because she didn't expect Ye Lang to launch the first attack, but more importantly, she didn't expect the arrow to be so fast, so fast that she found it a bit unbelievable.

She had witnessed Ye Lang's archery skills and felt that she was no match for him. She believed that Ye Lang's archery skills had reached the pinnacle and that there were probably not many people on this continent who could compare to him.

Even so, she still underestimated Ye Lang's archery skills before this moment!

Ye Lang's arrow moved with lightning speed, arriving in front of the Dire Wolf in an instant and piercing its eye.

At that moment, the Dire Wolf seemed to see something incredible, and the arrival of the arrow made it instinctively close its eyes. But how much defense could its eyelids provide? In the end, it was still pierced by the arrow.

The arrow entered the wolf's eye, but did not stop there. The Dire Wolf's brain had already been damaged by the arrow. The impact of the arrow made the Dire Wolf, which was larger than an ox, lean backward and feel as if it was being gently lifted into the air.

Regardless, this newly appeared Dire Wolf, before it could even display its strength, had already become prey—dead prey!

"..."

At this moment, Li Yue and Cold-Blooded Fifth were both stunned. They never expected such an outcome. Ye Lang had waived the fierce battle they thought they needed with a single arrow.

Is this his true strength?

"Were you holding back at the shooting range?" Li Yue hadn't put her bow and arrows away yet; she seemed to have forgotten about it and just asked blankly.

"Hold back? Oh, you mean your strength? Of course, one should be low-key and not show all one's strength!" Ye Lang nodded, admitting that he had held back.

"Tell me, have you really never touched a bow and arrow before?" A serious expression appeared on Li Yue's beautiful face, and this was her doubt, a doubt that any normal person would have.

Li Yue witnessed Ye Lang's journey from novice to expert, reaching this incredible level, all within a mere seven days.

How could someone go from knowing nothing to being at this level in such a short time?

This seems impossible, even for a genius!

Unless he's lying to me, and he already knew archery before, and he's only doing this to get closer to me!

This is what Li Yue is thinking now. She feels that Ye Lang is lying to her, that he is trying to pursue her in a trap, and that she actually believed him before!

"No!" Ye Lang shook his head.

"How could there not be? You're lying! You've been deceiving me all along, haven't you? You only appeared at the places I went because you wanted to get close to me! I was so stupid to believe it was just a coincidence!" Li Yue said coldly, a feeling of being mocked rising in her heart.

"..." Ye Lang was stunned for a moment, then said, "Those things were indeed not a coincidence. I deliberately approached you; I wanted to seduce you!"

"You silly girl, why did you say that? Didn't I tell you to never admit to this, even if you were beaten to death?" Cold-Blooded Fifth said anxiously from the shadows.

"Since she found out, I might as well admit it. It's no big deal. Now I can legitimately pursue her!" Ye Lang replied nonchalantly.

He didn't care about it at first; he would just say what he wanted to say. What was there to hide when pursuing someone? If they knew, they knew.

Athena wouldn't care about Ye Lang. If he knew, so be it; it wasn't a big deal. He could pursue him relentlessly when the time came. The most important thing was to keep Li Yue in the dark about their true purpose.

That's right, Ye Lang and the others' goal is the key. As long as this matter remains unknown, nothing else matters.

Who says you can't succeed if your pursuit is seen through? Some people just openly pursue girls, using that attitude to win their hearts and succeed!

At this moment, Athena also felt it was time to make her stance clear, because Ye Lang had already left a deep impression on Li Yue, and what she had done before had achieved its purpose.

Even if Li Yue knew this now, she wouldn't turn her back on Ye Lang and drive him away!

"Hmph!" Li Yue snorted disdainfully.

As expected, Li Yue just snorted and didn't seem to want Ye Lang to leave. The two of them would continue hunting in the mountains.

"Don't be upset. So many people are pursuing you, one more won't make a difference. By the way, I need to clarify something: I'm only pursuing you, but I'm not lying to you!" Ye Lang said, catching up with Li Yue.

"You didn't lie to me? You've already admitted those weren't coincidences, and you still say you didn't lie to me?" Li Yue was a little annoyed; Ye Lang's impression of her was starting to worsen.

There's nothing wrong with pursuing someone, as he himself said, so many people are pursuing me, one more wouldn't make a difference, but it's wrong of you to stubbornly deny it like this!!

"You didn't ask me, so it can only mean that I was keeping it from you, not that I was lying to you!" Ye Lang said very seriously.

"..."

Li Yue was stunned for a moment. If Ye Lang's statement was true, he hadn't lied to her, but had just kept it from her. But could she forgive him for keeping it from her?

Li Yue was a little angry, and she felt that Ye Lang was definitely lying to her about something. "Aren't you lying to me about your archery skills? You looked like a complete novice before, and you even asked me to teach you. Now that you've reached this level, you still want me to teach you. Do you want me to embarrass myself so you can laugh at me?!"

Li Yue grew angrier the more she talked, and at this point she wanted nothing more than to teach Ye Lang a lesson!

"I'm really not lying to you. I was indeed a newbie back then." Ye Lang shook his head, expressing his sincerity.

"You're still lying. If you were a novice before, how could you become an archery master in just seven days, and a top-notch one at that? I've practiced for over ten years and I'm not as good as you!!" Li Yue said directly.

"Well, maybe it's because I'm a genius!" Ye Lang thought for a moment, then tilted his head and said.

Li Yue said coldly, "A genius? Even a genius couldn't do that!"

"Then I must be the genius among geniuses!" Ye Lang replied.

"..." Li Yue remained silent.

"Miss Li Yue, I'm telling you seriously, I absolutely did not lie about this matter. I truly am a genius among geniuses!" Ye Lang immediately emphasized when he saw that Li Yue remained silent.

"..."
