Chapter 100: I Don’t Like You!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Sheng Tingchun saw that Gu Nuo’er’s small hand had stopped moving and she even threw out the half-eaten pastry away.

She snickered to herself.

‘You think I can’t deal with you? What are you so proud of?!’

Ji Zi introduced the game to Gu Nuo’er. “Young Miss Zhang, you might not have played this before.”

She took a bunch of arrows from the maidservant and handed them to Gu Nuo’er.

“We’ll hold different colored arrows together and shoot any one of them whom we don’t like. In the end, we’ll judge who is first based on the colors left on their clothes.”

Ji Zi said with a smile, “My family’s prizes are very generous. Previously, Elder Sister Tingchun had gotten first place. My father gave her the jade Pixiu¹.”

Gu Nuo’er refused to take the arrows even after a long time and asked, “But they’re all living people.”

Ji Zi didn’t seem to understand what she meant and explained, “These arrows have been processed. They won’t be able to kill.”

Gu Nuo’er lowered her head and touched the protruding part on the arrowhead.

It was true that the arrows couldn’t kill, but when they hit someone, they’d still leave bruises.

It was no wonder these girls were covered in wounds!

The child felt even angrier than before.

Ji Zi even whispered in her ear, “You might not even know how to play it the first time, but you’ll get the hang of it after a few tries. It’s very simple.”

Gu Nuo’er held the arrow and raised her head to ask softly, “Between Elder Sister Zi and Elder Sister Tingchun, who’s more amazing?”

Ji Zi was stunned. She had not expected her to ask such an unrelated question.

Sheng Tingchun said proudly, “Of course it’s me. These three people are ‘dead targets’ that can’t move. I’ve even played with the ‘living targets’ raised by the Ji family before.

“They would all run around in fear. They are usually locked up in the cellar. When they are released and see light, they would run around and flee for their lives like rats. That scene was extremely funny.”

Gu Nuo’er looked at Ji Zi. “Do you usually lock them in the cellar?”

Ji Zi reacted quickly and was very unhappy that Sheng Tingchun had revealed her family’s secrets in public.

At this moment, she only said coldly, “We don’t keep them locked up all the time. They had nowhere to go and if my father hadn’t taken them in, they would have starved to death on the streets.”

No matter how much Sheng Tingchun wanted to see Gu Nuo’er make a fool of herself, Ji Zi felt that something was amiss by now and did not want to play anymore.

She placed her hand on Gu Nuo’er’s arrow. “If Young Miss Zhang doesn’t know how to play this game, let’s not play it this time around. We can do this next time.”

This time, before Sheng Tingchun could come out to stop her, Gu Nuo’er retracted her small hand and raised the bunch of arrows in midair.

Under the hood, her pink lip curled up and she smiled sweetly.

“Who says I’m not playing? I also want to be as amazing as Elder Sister Zi and Elder Sister Tingchun.”

With that, she jumped down from the stone stool with the arrows in her hand.

She said softly, “I just have to shoot the one I don’t like, right?”

Sheng Tingchun nodded repeatedly. “Yes. Why don’t you give it a try?”

Looking at her small arms and legs, it was a question if she could even draw her bow.

Sheng Tingchun crossed her arms and smiled sinisterly, waiting for Gu Nuo’er to embarrass herself.

Unexpectedly, Gu Nuo’er managed to pull the bow with her small hands. Not only did she seem to have done it with ease, but she also aimed the blunt arrow at Sheng Tingchun!

Everyone’s malicious smiles froze on their faces.

Sheng Tingchun even stood up and shouted, “What are you doing? You can’t aim this arrow at others! Go and shoot those three people, idiot!”

Gu Nuo’er tilted her head, her eyes sparkling. “Didn’t you say that I can just shoot the one I don’t like? Elder Sister Tingchun, I don’t like you!”

With that, she loosened her grip and the blunt arrow flew out.
