Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 974: Chapter 975: She, So Different

Su Chengyu and the Emperor of Xiyun had already grown accustomed to An Jing and Xiao Changyi’s frequent displays of affection and thought nothing of it.

However, Dongfang Tianyang found An Jing’s behavior to be very bold. Surprised, he held a great deal of admiration and interest.

This Princess seemed very different from the others.

As soon as An Jing called for Xiao Changyi, she turned and mounted the white horse. The horse, feeling Someone on its back, immediately started to buck and run wildly, trying to throw An Jing off.

Seeing the horse behave as if it had gone mad, Xiao Changyi appeared expressionless, but his heart was in his throat, and he even forgot to breathe, watching An Jing intently, fearful she might get hurt.

Dongfang Tianyang merely watched the horseback archery scene as if it were a joke.

An Jing’s heart raced too; she had heard from the Emperor of Xiyun that this horse was wild, but she had not anticipated it to be this untamed, and she knew she could be thrown off with the slightest misstep.

Yet, the wilder and more unyielding the horse became, the more it roused An Jing’s desire to conquer it. She was determined to tame it.

The horse, acting wildly, made it impossible for An Jing to sit firmly, but she used all her strength to prevent herself from falling off its back.

Suddenly, the horse reared, its front hooves skyward, and An Jing almost got thrown off, but fortunately, she grabbed onto the horse’s long mane at its neck. Clutching it tightly caused pain to the horse underneath her, which reacted even more violently, tossing An Jing from the right to the left.

But after a long time, An Jing was still lying on its back, her legs tightly clutching the horse’s belly, and her hands merely holding onto the mane.

At that moment, although An Jing was somewhat exhausted, her fighting spirit was soaring, as if to say, the more you try to throw me off, the more I refuse to be dislodged.

In that instant, An Jing’s valor was fully aroused.

As a result, at that moment, An Jing, who was taming the horse in the archery field, was exceptionally dazzling, shining, and radiant in the eyes of the onlookers.

Xiao Changyi’s heart had not settled since An Jing had mounted the horse, always on edge; seeing An Jing continuously turn danger into safety, he was both elated and frightened, while his hands hidden beneath his wide sleeves were clenched into fists.

Seeing the horse’s frenzy, Su Chengyu and the Emperor of Xiyun, despite not wanting to worry, were very concerned about An Jing, afraid she might be thrown off and trampled to death. As time passed, their concern only grew, and though An Jing had not yet been thrown off by the horse, they did not feel the slightest relief or reassurance.

At that moment, they had only one hope: no matter whether the horse could be tamed by the warrior An Jing, they only wished for her safety.

Dongfang Tianyang had initially watched An Jing tame the horse as if it were a mere joke, but the more he watched, the brighter his eyes shone. He had never seen a woman like An Jing before; even as she lay on the horse’s back and continued to tame it, he felt that it was not the horse that was wild and unruly but the Princess An Jing.

This Princess truly was different from the others. Dongfang Tianyang thought as much.

Although this Princess’s beauty did not astonish him like Tobanya did, her actions and demeanor greatly impressed him, surpassing any other woman he had seen before.

At that moment, Dongfang Tianyang felt a profound attraction to An Jing, one that captivated his gaze and made him look at her, unable to look away.

He could only watch her, focusing solely on her, with nothing else in mind.
