Blindly Sniping a Wild Chicken! The Young Lady's First Time "Seeing Blood"

"Whoosh—"

A sharp whistling sound suddenly rang out, tearing apart the previously deathly silence in the dense forest.

The randomly selected pebble, aided by the potential energy of the strong elastic rope, instantly transformed into a blurry afterimage.

It pierced precisely through the intricate gaps in the branches and leaves, with a chilling force, heading straight for that cluster of brilliant colors ahead.

"Bang!"

A dull thud was heard, followed by a violent commotion in the bushes that seemed to shake the earth.

"Flap flap flap! Cluck cluck cluck!"

The plump pheasant, weighing at least five or six pounds, didn't even have time to utter a scream before a pebble accurately struck its head.

Its massive body tumbled and struggled wildly in the dense grass, stirring up a pile of broken branches and leaves mixed with mud.

Colorful feathers fluttered down in mid-air, like a small, colorful rain shower.

Jiang Ruoyun, whose eyes were tightly closed and whose mind was blank, was suddenly awakened by the loud noise.

She opened her eyes blankly, looked in the direction of the sound, and fixed her gaze on the prey that was already lying on the ground, unable to get up.

After a two-second hesitation, this usually dignified and aloof young lady from Beijing's elite circles completely abandoned all her socialite baggage.

"Ahhh! I hit it! I actually hit it!"

Jiang Ruoyun was so excited that she jumped up on the spot, like a little girl who had finally gotten her hands on a limited edition toy she had been dreaming of.

She almost instinctively turned around and grabbed Lin Mo's strong arm tightly.

"Lin Mo, did you see that?! I hit it! I shot a pheasant with my slingshot!"

She was so excited that she couldn't speak coherently. Her fair face was flushed red with extreme joy, and her big, watery eyes sparkled with dazzling light.

He felt the amazing softness that suddenly came from his arm, and the girl's unguarded and intimate closeness.

Lin Mo's eyes, which usually held a hint of listlessness and drowsiness, involuntarily rippled with emotion.

He lowered his head slightly, looking at Jiang Ruoyun, who was clinging to his arm and shaking it frantically.

The girl's current appearance is completely different from when we first met; she no longer has the aloof and unapproachable air of a cold, aloof young lady.

He's just like a fool who got a red flower in kindergarten and can't wait to show off to his parents.

Lin Mo's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and a soft corner of his heart felt as if it had been gently scratched by a feather.

He chuckled to himself.

In his previous life, he was a retired head chef who had served at state banquets. What delicacies hadn't he seen, from rare delicacies to the Manchu Han Imperial Feast?

Those high-ranking officials and nobles were even willing to spend a lot of money and wait in line for months just to eat a dish he personally prepared.

Even those diners who have tasted the most exquisite delicacies have never shown such pure and unreserved joy as the girl in front of them.

You're this happy just because you hit a pheasant with a broken slingshot?

What an easily satisfied, silly girl.

On Lin Mo's usually cold and stern face, the corners of his mouth turned up uncontrollably, forming an exceptionally gentle curve.

He slowly raised his large hand, which was covered with rough calluses.

Without hesitation, he landed directly on Jiang Ruoyun's hair, which was slightly disheveled from the intense exercise.

"Yes, I saw it."

Lin Mo's voice was deep and magnetic, carrying a strong sense of doting affection that even he himself was unaware of.

He gently rubbed the top of her head, making her soft hair even more voluminous.

"Our young lady is amazing. Not only did she hit the target, but she'll also have a nice, comfortable extra meal tonight."

The warm touch from above her head, along with the affirming and indulgent praise, made Jiang Ruoyun's cheeks flush even redder.

Only then did she belatedly realize how out of line she had just crossed; she was practically clinging to Lin Mo.

She hurriedly let go of his hand, took half a step back, her heart pounding like a deafening drum.

But the bright smile on his lips was impossible to suppress.

The stealthy drone, which had been hovering high in the sky, broadcast this heartwarming and sweet scene from every angle.

The tens of millions of viewers in the live stream instantly erupted into a collective frenzy.

The comments scrolled and refreshed at a speed that could crash the server.

[Ahhh! Lin Shen's doting head pat is so sweet, I just died on the spot!]

[Look at Lin Mo's eyes! He's got a crush on him! Absolutely a crush on him! He's not looking at his teammates, he's looking at his wife!]

[This young lady is just too adorable! From a cold, aloof beauty to a wild hunter, who understands the joy of this kind of nurturing relationship!]

[That line about "our young lady" made my bones melt. Lin Shen, admit it, you're not here to slack off on this variety show, you're here to buy more wives!]

[This is so sweet! Just for that head pat, I, the head of the Civil Affairs Bureau, approve of this marriage. I'll swallow the key!]

The two were completely unaware of the online uproar.

Lin Mo, carrying the broken machete in one hand, strode ahead towards the bushes.

Jiang Ruoyun, like a victorious little follower, excitedly followed behind him, ready to inspect her spoils of war.

However, the atmosphere suddenly changed when they actually approached the patch of grass.

The plump pheasant, weighing seven or eight pounds, was not completely dead.

Although the stone hit its head, it was in a near-death reflex stage.

Its massive body thrashed wildly among the muddy fallen leaves, its wings flapping erratically against the ground.

Bright red blood flowed down its head, staining a small patch of green weeds around it and emitting a strong, pungent smell of blood.

Jiang Ruoyun's smile froze instantly.

She was pampered from a young age and frequented Michelin three-star restaurants and upscale private clubs.

The chicken she had ever seen was always an art form, displayed on an exquisite bone china plate, meticulously cooked by top chefs, and adorned with carvings.

How could she have ever witnessed such a primitive and brutal killing scene?

The metallic, rusty smell that filled the air went straight into her nostrils.

Looking at the prey convulsing in pain in the pool, a strong feeling of nausea and dizziness suddenly surged into my heart.

She instinctively took two steps back, her legs went slightly weak, and she bit her lower lip tightly, unable to look any further.

Lin Mo, who was walking in front, seemed to have eyes in the back of his head.

The moment Jiang Ruoyun stopped and her breathing became rapid, he keenly sensed her unusual behavior.

He didn't turn around to mock her cowardice, nor did he utter a single unnecessary word.

Lin Mo suddenly turned around, his tall and imposing figure blocking Jiang Ruoyun's view, completely shutting out the bloody scene from her sight.

Then he extended his large, warm left hand.

With an undeniable force and domineering presence, Lin Mo's hand directly covered Jiang Ruoyun's terrified eyes.

The world before my eyes was instantly plunged into a reassuring darkness.

"Stop looking, go sit down and rest for a bit."

Lin Mo's deep and steady voice rang out softly above Jiang Ruoyun's head, like a powerful stimulant that firmly pierced her heart.

"The following scene is too gruesome and not suitable for our young lady's beautiful eyes."

After being deprived of her sight, Jiang Ruoyun's other senses were amplified infinitely.

She could clearly feel the rough texture of the hand covering her eyelids, a symbol of the strength of a mature man.

You can also smell the clean scent emanating from Lin Mo's palm, a blend of the fresh fragrance of grass and trees after the rain and a faint scent of soapberry.

This aroma powerfully dispelled the pungent, fishy smell of blood in the surrounding area.

The suffocating fear and nausea I felt just moments ago miraculously vanished under this absolute protection.

My sense of security reached its peak at that moment.

Jiang Ruoyun obediently walked to the side and turned her head to look away.

At this moment, after making sure that Jiang Ruoyun couldn't see anything, Lin Mo's eyes underwent a dramatic change.

The carefree and gentle smile from before had vanished completely.

Instead, there is a kind of ruthlessness and focus that belongs to predators at the top of the wilderness.

He deftly twirled the worn-out machete in his right hand with his fingertips.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Mo suddenly exerted force with his wrist.

Knife up and down.

A cold, silvery glint flashed, slicing precisely across the pheasant's carotid artery.

Fresh blood gushed out, but not a single drop splashed onto his faded T-shirt.

His movements were incredibly swift, performing tasks such as draining blood, plucking hair, and cleaning internal organs.

All the procedures are completed smoothly with one hand, without any unnecessary movements.

At this moment, he was like a heartless, desolate killing god teetering on the edge of life and death.

The viewers in the live stream were completely stunned by this sudden scene.

After a brief pause, the barrage of comments on the screen erupted in its most frenzied form today, completely spiraling out of control.

[Ahhhh! The one-handed eye-covering kill! Lin Shen is too captivating! I'm going crazy!]

Holy crap! One second he was that gentle, doting husband, the next he'd strike without batting an eye!

What kind of deity has descended to earth?! Half compassion of a Buddhist, half ruthlessness of an Asura!

[This damn double standard is so blatant! A ruthless killer to his prey, yet utterly gentle to the young lady!]

[Lin Shen's gesture of covering her eyes just now was like a domineering CEO! Jiang Jianguo, did you see that? Your daughter is being protected so well!]

[Don't even mention Jiang Jianguo. I bet his father-in-law is watching this right now, contacting a lawyer to revise his will, preparing to leave all his assets to this son-in-law, hahaha!]

The noise and revelry of the outside world could not disturb this tranquil deserted island forest.

Lin Mo's movements were incredibly fast.

Jiang Ruoyun stared blankly at his back, lost in thought.

In less than ten minutes, he cleaned up the messy scene.

The pheasant, which had been dripping with blood just moments before, had now been plucked clean and washed until it was spotless.

Lin Mo casually cut off a few large wild banana leaves from the side and wrapped the prepared prey tightly.

He tied the banana leaves tightly with vines, then casually tossed them into the handmade bamboo basket behind him.

After doing all this, he washed his mud-covered right hand in the nearby stream.

Only after confirming that he had no odor did he get up and walk towards Jiang Ruoyun.

She blinked, peeked over, and found that apart from a few bloody fallen leaves covered by soil, there was nothing else on the ground.

"Finished?" She looked up at the tall, imposing man in front of her.

"Okay, all done."

Lin Mo shook the water droplets off his hands and resumed his nonchalant and lazy demeanor.

He bent down, picked up the slingshot he had just made, and casually stuffed it into his pocket.

"Let's go, let's head back home."

Lin Mo turned around, facing the golden sunlight filtering through the leaves, a confident and composed smile playing on his lips.

"Today, I'll let you, a young lady who's used to eating delicacies, have a good taste of my cooking."

"Let me show you what real, truly real..."
