Chapter 64
Yang Ning chuckled to see Xiaowei’s funny reaction when she teased her. She wanted to pat her head for looking so cute but before that, she saw something that caused her pupils to grow bigger.
Her body stiffened and she was so shocked that she couldn’t move an inch nor utter a single word to warn Xiaowei.
‘Am I hallucinating due to fear? How can the bear come here?’
Didn’t Gu Lan say that it was a safe place and the bear had been seen near the front gate? Then....how come the bear is standing in front of them?
There was a large black bear in front of them, blocking the exit gate. They were about to leave from the exit gate that Gu Lan pushed open a while ago. How come the bear appeared in front of them out of nowhere?
Her hands were trembling as it was her first time seeing a wild bear from so close. She has visited the zoo a few times to get a glimpse of bears from far away, as they were always busy in their habitats, eating or playing with the water.
She always used to be awed to see the adorable bears and used to admire how adorable they are. However, now when the bear was standing in front of her, she couldn’t find him cute anymore.
Instead, he looked monstrous and his long nails were giving her anxiety. Not only that, there was blood all over his mouth and hands.
.....
When she saw this, she suddenly remembered that someone was shouting earlier that the bear had killed a woman.
‘Am I going to die today?’ It was the moment when she was regretting sending Gu Lan back and being a nice person.
She should have just been the selfish person and let him escort them to the Yang Household. At least, they won’t be as scared as they’re now if Gu Lan had been by their side.
She wanted to stand still and not move as this is what she had learned from the tv and internet about what people should do in case the bear approached them. However, she knew that this trick would not work here.
Why? Because it is not just a bear but a wild bear who has gone mad and is on a killing spree.
He has killed hundreds of people in the past few days. Will he simply sniff on her and pass by her?
Standing still in front of him and not moving will be like attempting suicide. She does not want to die anymore.
Not like this at the least.
She wanted to scream for help, hoping that Gu Lan would be nearby and haven’t gone far away.
However, before she could react timely, Xiaowei, who was confused to see Yang Ning’s frozen reaction, turned around to see what made her so shocked.
However, as soon as she turned around and saw the bear blocking their way, she screamed in shock and the strength in her legs also gave away. “AHHH”
However, Yang Ning acted timely and held her by her shoulders, preventing her from sliding down the ground and passing out. “Shh! Don’t shout. You will only provoke him like this.” She whispered in her ears as she held her tight in her embrace.
She was also scared but being scared in this situation will not help them. One of them needs to stay sane and alert if they don’t want to become the bear’s lunch meal.
“My lady...” Xiaowei was so scared that tears welled in her eyes.
Yang Ning pursed her lips and kept an eye-contact with the bear, trying to read his next move.
He wasn’t doing anything but simply standing at the entrance of the exit door and looking at them. He won’t pounce at them suddenly, would he? She wondered.
Yang Ning grabbed Xiaowei’s hand and whispered in her ears without looking away from the bear, ” At the count of 3, run inside the brothel with all your might.”
” If we stay here longer, we won’t survive.”
Since Xiaowei had already shouted, she was sure that Zheng Liang and the other guards would be coming soon to protect them.
They just need to stall for some time until they find them. Because they cannot fight with the bear alone.
They don’t have enough weapons or strength to fight against the wild mad bear.
It’s a fucking wild bear after all. An alive one at that.
Xiaowei nodded and both of them were ready to run inside the place to hide and get away from the wild bear.
“ONE....” Yang Ning started the countdown and grabbed the dagger that Zheng Liang had given her to protect herself from the bear attack.
She does not want to kill the bear but to protect herself and Xiaowei, she will do anything even if it is to go against the bear.
“TWO....” Her voice trembled but she still pushed her one leg back, getting ready to run away from the bear.
“THREE!” She shouted and grabbed Xiaowei’s hand to pull her along with her and started to run in the direction of the brothel.
She was so scared that she couldn’t even turn around for a moment to see if the bear was following them or not. Because she was scared that he would catch up to them and kill them like the other woman.
‘Just a little bit more.’ Her eyes lip up to see the entrance of the brothel near to them. They just need to run for a bit more and they will be there.
If she hurries up and closes the door behind them, they will be safe for now.
“AH!” Xiaowei was holding Yang Ning’s hand and was running behind her when her long skirt entangled in her feet, causing her to stumble on the ground.
“XIAOWEI!” Yang Ning shrieked in fright to see Xiaowei falling to the ground.
Before she could help Xiaowei to stand up, her eyes widened to see the bear who was chasing after them to eat them alive. He was sprinting towards them and his eyes were burning with the killing intent.
“XIAOWEI, GET UP. FAST!.” Yang Ning screamed and tried to pull Xiaowei’s hand to make her stand up. However, she fell again.
“I can’t stand up.” Xiaowei cried as even though she was trying, her legs were not helping her at all. She seems to have sprained her leg and couldn’t stand up.
She turned around and realized that the bear was so close to them now. But they only have to run for a little more and they will be inside the place.
However, she cannot do that. If Yang Ning tried to help her, both of them would be caught by the bear that was chasing them.
” MY LADY, PLEASE RUN AWAY. YOU HAVE TO STAY ALIVE. PLEASE GO!” Xiaowei wailed desperately, wanting Yang Ning to escape from here safely at the least. She does not want to put her life in danger because of her.
Yang Ning gritted her teeth and was determined to take Xiaowei along with her. She wanted to help Xiaowei to walk inside the brothel but before she could go near her and help her, the bear caught up to them and was about to pounce on Xiaowei who was on the ground.
“XIAOWEI.....”
