Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

As the wolf's teeth drew ever closer to Ji Yunshu's neck, about to bite, Xie Moyao and the others were frantic with worry!

"Ji Yunshu!"

"Third sister-in-law!"

"Your Highness, be careful!"

No matter how much they shouted, the difference in strength was too great, and Ji Yunshu was still pinned down by the wolf, whose teeth were biting into Ji Yunshu's carotid artery.

Ji Yunshu's hands were numb, and when she felt the pain in her neck, she couldn't help but groan inwardly.

It's over.

She was brilliant in two lifetimes, so how come she always managed to stumble and fall into the gutter...?

A top agent being killed by a wolf—if word got out, he'd lose all face.

She was completely exhausted. Just now, when the wolf pounced on her and she used her hands to defend herself, she heard the sound of her hand bones breaking.

Alas, what a waste of her space; it hasn't even had a chance to be of much use before the host is about to die...

Huh, space?

A thought suddenly flashed through Ji Yunshu's mind: That's right, she has a spatial dimension! In this life-or-death situation, she can simply hide inside it.

Although this would expose the truth about my personal space, I couldn't care less about that at this point.

Sensing that the male wolf was about to bite through her carotid artery, she narrowed her eyes, and with a thought, prepared to slip into the space.

Suddenly, a small pebble flew from somewhere and hit the wolf precisely in the eye. The wolf cried out in pain and loosened its grip on Ji Yunshu.

Ji Yunshu was stunned. Before she could check who threw the stone, she quickly withdrew her thoughts, kicked the wolf in the stomach, sending it flying, and then leaned forward as well.

Ji Yunshu gripped the wolf's neck tightly with both hands. The wolf struggled desperately, its gaping maw still snapping at Ji Yunshu. Ji Yunshu narrowed her eyes, and instead of gripping the wolf's neck, she moved her hands to the wolf's mouth, prying open the wolf's upper and lower teeth and pulling them forcefully in two directions.

The wolf's mouth was pried wider and wider, until the corners of its mouth were torn open. Perhaps sensing the approach of death, the wolf resisted with even greater force, kicking its four legs wildly.

Ji Yunshu gritted her teeth, exerted all her strength, and roared, "Ah...!"

It tore the wolf's mouth in half!

Wolf blood splattered onto Ji Yunshu's body and face, mixed with her ruthless expression, making her look like a grim reaper emerging from hell.

The wolf beneath him was completely lifeless.

The surroundings were deathly silent.

All eyes were on Ji Yunshu and the wolf at her feet.

There was a hint of fear in his eyes as he looked at Ji Yunshu.

This was truly the first time they had ever seen Ji Yunshu so ruthless. They had only thought that Ji Yunshu was cruel and ruthless before, but they never expected her to be so powerful!

He single-handedly took down all those wolves!

There were about ten wolves in total, each of them large in size. Even with so many people, they couldn't handle just one of them. Some were injured, and others had lost limbs.

Is Ji Yunshu a human or a ghost? How could a mere woman possess such great abilities!

Everyone was still shaken. It seemed that Ji Yunshu had held back when dealing with Ji Yunyao and Ji Yunfeng. If she had used her full strength, those who had offended her would probably have ended up like these wolves.

Especially Ji Yunyao and Zhou Yanran, their eyes clearly showed a hint of lingering fear when they looked at Ji Yunshu.

Xie Moyao lay in the carriage, looking at the scene in front of him, his lips twitched violently. He knew this woman was powerful, but he didn't expect her to be this powerful, even more fierce than a man.

Even when he wasn't injured, he might not have been able to handle so many wolves by himself.

Ji Yunshu wiped the blood off her face haphazardly and looked at her "spoils of war" with satisfaction.

Damn it, I almost thought I was going to die here today. But I don't know where that stone came from.

She looked up at the dark woods all around, but there was no sound at all.

She had just been lying on the ground and hadn't seen where the stone had come from, but she was certain that someone hiding in the woods had helped her. Who could it be?

Unable to come up with a solution, she decided to give up for the time being. She clapped her hands and shouted at Xie Lin, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bandage your wounds, then process all this wolf meat. After I rest for a bit, I'll teach you how to grill it."

Xie Lin blinked, then came to his senses. Although he didn't understand what Ji Yunshu meant by barbecue, he nodded eagerly upon hearing that there was food. "Yes, yes, Your Highness, I'll go right away!"

He only had a small bite wound on his foot from the wolf. He casually tore off a piece of his clothes to bandage the wound, and then, limping, he led Xiao Lan and Xie Mohuan to begin processing the wolf meat.

The other people in the Prince's mansion were not seriously injured, but they had never seen such a scene before and were so frightened by the wolves that their legs went weak, but they have recovered by now.

Some rested, while others helped process the wolf meat.

No one spoke; the surroundings remained deathly silent.

Of all the people, Xie Mohuan and his group were the least injured. Xie Mohe and Xie Mojiang from the second branch of the family were not seriously injured. However, Xie Zhaoting and his wife suffered a bite wound on one hand and a broken kneecap on the other.

Apart from Old Madam Zhou and her grandson, who were bitten to death on the spot, the rest of the Zhou family members only suffered minor injuries.

The Luo family was clever. When they emerged from the pack of wolves, they noticed Ji Yunshu leading the people of the Prince's Mansion to retreat silently. They followed suit and slowly retreated behind a large tree to hide until Ji Yunshu had dealt with all the wolves. Only then did the Luo family emerge from behind the tree.

Of the remaining people from the Minister's mansion, Minister Ji, who had been hiding behind Consort Zhu, was not seriously injured. Poor Consort Zhu, who already had injuries, suffered new wounds after fighting the wolves, and was nearly killed.

She was utterly disheartened by the fact that Minister Ji had just used her as a shield.

She had served Minister Ji for many years, bearing him a son and a daughter, and managing his household affairs with utmost care. She had always thought that this man had some genuine feelings for her, but unexpectedly, in this moment of crisis, Minister Ji actually used her as a shield!

If she hadn't fought back so fiercely, she would have been a victim of wolves long ago!

It seems that if I continue to rely on that scoundrel Ji Shangshu, I'll probably lose my life sooner or later. I'll have to find a way to rely on myself and her daughter.

Besides these people, the rest were the officials. The officials were men, and they usually knew some martial arts. In addition, they carried knives, so compared to the exiled prisoners, their injuries were not serious. They were just minor wounds that would heal in no time.

The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat strange.

No one else spoke, but Xie Mohuan and Xie Lin were excitedly processing the wolf meat.

They haven't eaten meat in a long time, and with so much meat, they can finally have a good meal today.

Ji Yunshu returned to the carriage and buried herself in a pile of miscellaneous items, searching through them for a while before finding a jumble of gauze and disinfectant.
