Chapter 254: Chapter 252: The Sacred Deer Descends_1

The giant deer came closer and closer!

Twenty zhang…

“Your Highness!” Old Fang widened his eyes and hid behind a guard, shouting hoarsely, “Your Highness, come back! Bai Qingyan will get you killed!”

The Crown Prince gritted his teeth, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Bai Qingyan stood as steady as a pine tree, her gaze calm. The arrowhead wrapped in cloth was always aimed at the giant deer’s forehead.

Fifteen zhang…

“Your Highness!” Old Fang’s legs went weak with fear, his voice filled with urgency. “Your Highness, run! Bai Qingyan will kill you!”

Sweat appeared on the Crown Prince’s forehead. The giant deer’s legs alone were as tall as a person, and its enormous antlers were terrifying to behold.

Ten zhang…

Five zhang…

Four zhang…

The Crown Prince finally couldn’t bear the immense pressure coming at him and instinctively stepped back.

Bai Qingyan released the bowstring, grabbing the Crown Prince’s wrist and pulling him back. “Your Highness!”

“Let go of me!” The Crown Prince’s eyes widened in terror as he stared at the giant deer rushing towards them. “Bai Qingyan, are you trying to kill me?!”

“Eldest Young Lady!” Bai Jinzhi screamed in panic.

At the critical moment, Bai Qingyan’s eyes darkened. She grabbed the Crown Prince’s hand holding the sachet and almost dragged him forward two steps, raising his hand.

“Bai Qingyan! You are trying to murder the Crown Prince! This is a crime that will condemn your entire clan!” Old Fang shouted until his voice broke.

“Trust me, Your Highness!” Bai Qingyan gritted her teeth. She trusted her foster brother, Xiao Ruojiang, who said he could train it. He certainly could!

“Bai Qingyan!” the Crown Prince shouted angrily. Seeing the giant deer just one zhang away, he couldn’t break free of Bai Qingyan’s grip and closed his eyes in despair.

Unexpectedly, the giant deer, upon smelling the sachet in the Crown Prince’s hand, suddenly veered left, avoiding Bai Qingyan and the Crown Prince. It turned so sharply that its hoofs slipped, and it crashed to the ground, rolling towards the Jin soldier holding a shield.

The Jin soldiers, faces pale, retreated one after another.

The giant deer rolled several times before stopping, propping itself up on its front legs, and stood up. Steam puffed heavily from its nostrils. It shook its fur, scaring the Jin soldiers into retreating. Some even fell to the ground in fear, looking up at the enormous creature with terror.

In the Jin Kingdom, the white deer was considered a sacred deer, not to be killed. Especially this enormous creature, which they had never seen before. No one knew if it was a divine beast.

The giant deer stood up seemingly without the intention to harm. It shook its fur and turned, walking in a proud stride toward the Crown Prince and Bai Qingyan.

The Crown Prince’s face was deathly pale. He could barely stand without leaning on Bai Qingyan.

“Your Highness…” Bai Qingyan supported the Crown Prince. “Are you alright?”

The Crown Prince gritted his teeth tightly, his whole body shaking. With Bai Qingyan’s support, he took two steps forward.

Seeing the giant deer slowly approach, the Crown Prince craned his neck to meet the deer’s bright, clear black eyes.

The giant deer sniffed the air and lowered its head. The Crown Prince hurriedly stepped back two steps.

Li Tianfu, sitting in the fragrant carriage, lifted the curtain and looked toward the majestic and open high slope… _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}
