Returning after a three-year escape from death, the tyrant has turned evil.

Chapter 179 Exploring Her

into the night.

When Song Yi went to bed, she noticed that Lang Xiao had not returned, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Perhaps it was her probing during the day that made him a little flustered, so he deliberately avoided coming over tonight.

Early the next morning.

As soon as Song Yi opened her eyes, she saw Lang Xiao sitting to the side, staring straight at her.

Song Yi gasped, instantly jolted awake from her drowsiness, and couldn't help but say, "You haven't been leading troops into battle these past two days, but you don't need to be this leisurely, do you?"

He really did nothing all day long; he didn't know what to do except go archery and horseback riding.

Wolf Owl squinted at her, ignoring her earlier remark, and suddenly said:

"I thought about it all night last night, and I've figured it out."

"what?"

Song Yi immediately became wary.

“From childhood to adulthood, the maids around me have always treated me with exceptional respect, but you are not. So I am competitive and want to find out why you are not afraid of me, which is why I approached you.”

Song Yi: "."

Her gaze toward the wolf owl was filled with pity. She sat up and said meaningfully:

"You shouldn't think about it anymore. It's a waste of energy. Since you're so good at fighting, you should put all your energy into that."

Anyway, it was no use for him to think about it; this was the first time Song Yi had ever met someone like this.

Wolf Owl felt that Song Yi was mocking him, and frowned, saying, "You Central Plains people always seem to take it eighty turns when you speak. Can't you just say it directly?"

"Okay, I'll get straight to the point. Can you take me out for a walk today?"

Wolf Owl's expression changed drastically. "You dare to make demands?!"

Song Yi said, "Anyway, didn't you want to investigate? Coincidentally, I'm also very curious about you."

Half an hour later.

Song Yi stood with a group of maids, who stared at her warily. After holding back for a while, Song Yi finally couldn't help but say, "I'm telling you, with so many of you, even if I had wings, I couldn't escape."

Before them lay an exceptionally spacious horse ranch. Wolf Owl selected the strongest horse and waited in the same spot as the soldiers.

A maid whispered, "This is a horse farm. What if you suddenly steal a horse and run away?"

Song Yi pointed to the unusually large bow on the wolf owl's back. "Are all these bows and arrows just for show? Also, I can't ride a horse at all. Can I rest assured now?"

They exchanged glances, chuckled, and then looked away.

Immediately afterward, with a shout from one of them, they all rode off on their horses.

Song Yi squinted to look.

Her theoretical knowledge told her that the Northern Qiang people were excellent horsemen, much better than those of the Central Plains people, but she had never seen them up close before. Seeing them today, her heart sank.

They seemed to be born on the horse's back. Wolf Owl and the others leaned close to the horse's neck, their legs gripping the horse's belly muscles tightly, moving with extraordinary speed, like arrows released from a bow.

Immediately afterwards, Wolf Owl straightened up, took his hands off the reins, and took out the bow and arrows from his back.

His hands, which were holding the bow, were frighteningly steady. The moment he tapped the string with three fingers, he barely needed to aim and hit the bullseye of the target a hundred paces away in the blink of an eye.

Upon seeing this, Song Yi's breathing suddenly became heavier.

She knew that Wolf Owl's archery skills were probably unmatched here, but how could he be so formidable?
The maidservant beside him said excitedly, "Young Master started riding a horse at five, shooting arrows at seven, and was able to ride across the grasslands and hunt wolves at ten. Now, his horsemanship is unmatched."

Song Yi's expression was somewhat solemn.

She had lost all interest in looking around and was just staring blankly at the grass in front of her until a thin layer of frost, crushed by horse hooves, suddenly floated up in front of her. Only then did she squint and come back to her senses.

Wolf Owl stopped his horse in front of her, looking at her arrogantly.

Song Yi felt that he probably wanted to see an expression of admiration on her face.

But she didn't say a word. Wolf Owl dismounted, looked at the fence in front of him, climbed over it, stood in front of Song Yi, and asked, "How is it?"

"How about what?"

He frowned and asked, "Didn't you see me shooting arrows on horseback just now?"

Song Yi deliberately said, "No, I'm sorry, I was looking at other people just now."

Wolf Owl: "With me around, how can you possibly look at anyone else?"

"Why not?"

Song Yi realized that making him unhappy was as easy as playing a game. If only it had been this easy when she first transmigrated here.

But things are good now. Jiang Lanye is too smart, and she occasionally has a bit of a temper, but she's quite happy with it.

Wolf Owl was so angry he couldn't speak. He stared at her intently, grinding his back teeth, and suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm.

Song Yi was startled and asked, "What are you doing?!"

Wolf Owl carried her directly over the ramp, ignoring her resistance, and threw her onto the horse's back just like when he captured her. Before Song Yi could struggle, he also climbed on and said, "Didn't you see it? I'll show you again."

Song Yi was both shocked and furious. "Wolf Owl! Are you crazy? So many people are watching!"

Wolf Owl paused. "You just called me by my name?"

Song Yi fell silent.

Seeing that Song Yi had no reaction, he felt that this was indeed inappropriate, so he took the bow and arrow in his hand, drew the string taut, and said in a deep voice, "Watch carefully."

Soon, Song Yi didn't have time to be angry.

Because she watched helplessly as all three arrows struck the bullseye in the distance, a position even farther than where he had been standing.

"How about it?"

Song Yi's expression immediately became extremely complicated.

Zuo Sheng was injured by Wolf Owl.
"say something."

Song Yi said helplessly, "Very impressive, very impressive, okay? I want to go down."

Wolf Owl then dismounted, looked at Song Yi with a mocking expression, and asked, "Why did you get off?"

As Lang Xiao stood below looking up at her, Song Yi vaguely saw Jiang Lanye.

Wolf Owl looked at him strangely and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Song Yi came to her senses, said nothing, and jumped down.

Wolf Owl was startled by her sudden movement and instinctively raised his hand to help her. However, she swayed a couple of times but eventually regained her balance, so he withdrew his hand.

He was a little depressed.

Song Yi did indeed investigate him further, and she could be said to be getting to know him better and better.

But he understood Song Yi less and less.

The two entered the tent, and Wolf Owl eagerly asked her:
"Have you ever seen anyone more powerful than me? Your emperor?"

Song Yi often saw Jiang Lan perform sword dances at night, but he rarely saw her use bows and arrows.

She said, "I'm just a palace maid, how would I know who's more capable?"

"Well, you could see that just now, wasn't that amazing?"

Song Yi nodded. "Impressive."

Despite her impressive skills, she remained remarkably calm.

Wolf Owl paced back and forth anxiously in front of her, like a bewildered wolf.
