At that moment, Guoguo stood defiantly, clutching a short sword, facing down a wild boar. Neither dared to make the first move, but neither wanted to back down.

The commotion from Gu Chengrui’s group reaching their location startled them both, particularly the boar. It let out a frustrated grunt and took two menacing steps back. Then, with a lowered head, it charged aggressively at Guoguo.

Panic surged through Guoguo, but she reacted quickly, swinging her sword and slashing diagonally at the boar’s head as she dodged to the side. The impact severed half of one of the boar’s tusks.

Enraged by the attack, the wild boar let out a shriek and pivoted to charge again. Guoguo met its turn with another swing of her sword, this time leaving a deep gash on its body, drawing blood. The boar’s fury intensified and charged at her even more ferociously.

Just then, Gu Chengrui and his men arrived on the scene. Witnessing the confrontation, Lin Yitian instinctively raised his sword and rushed forward.

“Guoguo!” Gu Chengrui called out, raising his hand to halt Lin Yitian. “Aim for its eyes! Then, mount it and strike its head!”

Following his instruction, Lin Yitian and the others grasped their swords, surrounding the area, ready to intervene if necessary.

Guoguo, despite her experience sparring with guards in the residence, hadn’t faced real combat before. However, her father’s words instilled a surge of confidence in her.

Hearing his instructions, she jabbed the boar’s head with the sword, then sprinted towards a nearby tree. She flipped onto the boar’s back with practiced agility, attempting to ride it like a horse.

Unlike a horse, the wild boar reacted violently to her presence, bucking wildly to dislodge her. Startled, Guoguo clung desperately to one of its tusks.

Seizing the opportunity, she hacked at its head repeatedly. Despite already having a deep gash and a split nose, the enraged boar slammed its body against the tree, trying to throw her off.

Terror etched itself into Guoguo’s face. Reacting quickly, Gu Chengrui yelled, “Eyes!”

The urgency in his voice jolted Guoguo out of her fear. Dropping the sword, she swung her fist and connected with the boar’s eye. This blow, combined with the previous sword wound, ruptured the boar’s brain, eliciting a final squeal of pain.

Simultaneously, Guoguo kicked off the tree and attempted to stand clear of the boar. However, the sudden movement caused her to stumble and fall.

Gu Chengrui rushed forward, scooping her up and gently lowering her to the ground.

The wild boar, its struggles ceasing, lurched forward two steps before collapsing with a heavy thud.

Suddenly, a round of applause erupted. Chenchen, filled with admiration, raced towards his sister. “Sister, you were amazing!”

Guoguo managed a weak smile in return. But soon, the adrenaline subsided, and her legs gave way, sending her to the ground.

Mounting his horse, Gu Chengrui urgently inquired, “How are you? Are you injured?”

“Just a scratch on my leg,” Guoguo responded, pointing to her right leg where she’d been grazed by a branch while dodging the boar’s collision with the tree.

Relief washed over Gu Chengrui upon confirming it was a minor wound. “Take the boar and head back immediately,” he instructed Lin Yitian and the others.

Turning to Guoguo, he asked, “Think you can walk?”

“My legs are a little wobbly,” Guoguo admitted with a weak smile, “I might need a moment.”
