Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Creating a Miracle with a Swift Shot (2)

The Crown Prince, acting as referee, announced the start of the competition.

Immediately, the sound of horses galloping filled the air as two horses darted forward, backs to the targets.

Cao Gui lashed his whip, hitting the horse’s rump to urge it to run faster.

He turned his head to look at Mu Qingge, only to see a calm and composed face of unparalleled beauty, which made him frown.

The expression of assured victory stirred a inexplicable anxiety in his heart.

Mu Qingge’s horsemanship was indeed impressive. In her previous life, during a period of practicing stealth missions on the grasslands, she honed excellent horseback skills.

As for her archery...

Mu Qingge’s lips curled into a devilishly charming smile. It seemed she had never mentioned to anyone that, aside from learning horsemanship on the grasslands, she had also acquired another top-tier skill.

A hundred paces away, in the blink of an eye.

Cao Gui was the first to whirl his horse around, making a rapid turn that nearly caused the horse to stumble.

As the horse let out a pained whinny, Mu Qingge also turned her horse effortlessly. That fluid and graceful motion drew cheers from the crowd.

Nocking the arrow faster, Cao Gui still had a slight lead.

Perhaps influenced by Mu Qingge’s horsemanship, he seemed a bit impatient, firing as soon as the arrow touched the bowstring. The first arrow hit the eighth ring.

He frowned, stealing a glance in the Crown Prince’s direction, and his mind sharpened, regaining his focus, and shot again.

Thwish thwish thwish—

Eight arrows were released in succession, all hitting scores of nine rings or ten rings.

The total score of the nine arrows reached eighty-six rings. Just four rings shy of a perfect ninety.

Such a score made Cao Gui’s demeanor relax, a triumphant smirk appearing on his face.

After his demonstration, Cao Gui looked towards Mu Qingge, only to find that she was still aiming her first arrow. He couldn’t help but sneer, ”Little Lord, do you need my help to steady your bow and arrow?”

Suddenly, laughter erupted around them.

Mu Qingge’s lips curved silently, her clear eyes calm and unmoved.

The tip of the arrow in her hand lifted slightly...

Whish—!

The first arrow was shot in a parabolic arc, heading towards the target.

Without waiting for it to hit the target, Mu Qingge quickly drew and shot a second arrow.

Her actions immediately caused an uproar among the spectators.

”What’s he trying to do?” Qin Yiyao asked in confusion, frowning.

”Hahaha... Is this archery? Surely he just lost his grip!”

”A pampered little Lord like him, how could he possibly handle horseback archery well?”

”Just now I saw the little Lord ride a horse pretty well, and I thought we might see a good show. Looks like I overestimated him.”

”Hey, the little Lord is favored by the Holy King. Maybe he has some hidden talent?”

”What hidden talent? Perhaps it’s merely charm serving others. Didn’t you hear he was quite fond of Prince Rui?”

”Hahaha, you know too much.”

The ridicule grew louder and more unspeakable.

However, Mu Qingge remained undisturbed, continuing to release the subsequent arrows.

”It’s over! Has the boss gone mad? How will he hit the target like this?” Fatty Shao lamented with a mournful face. He then resolutely declared, ”Hmph, at worst, I’ll fulfill the wager for him. It’s no big deal.”

His words drew astonishment from Qin Yiyao. She hadn’t expected that the so-called prodigal would be willing to suffer disgrace for Mu Qingge.

In the crowd, Bai Xiyue’s eyes were full of mockery, as if witnessing Mu Qingge shaming herself after failing.

Amid the various expressions and thoughts, Mu Qingge had already released the ninth arrow.

Yet at this moment, her first arrow had just passed through the bullseye.

Thwish thwish thwish—

The sound of arrows slicing through the air rang out. The arrows shot by Mu Qingge pierced the bullseye with perfect accuracy.

When the final arrow passed through the tail of the eighth arrow, dragging it through the bullseye, the surroundings fell into complete silence.

It took a long moment before someone, trembling with surprise, spoke, ”This... this is... Nine Stars in a Row!”
