Xiaomai knows she is an orphan, and it was thanks to the Ye Family for taking her in. Now she is just a small maid, she naturally wouldn’t compete with others.

Of course, the more she is like this, the more Ye Qiu likes her.

In the future, this Xiaomai will surely be his intimate bed-warming maid.

"Get on."

Ye Qiu directly pulled Xiaomai up.

For Xiaomai, nevermind riding a horse, she hadn’t even seen a horse before, after all, she was previously blind, unable to see anything.

Now is the first time she’s truly seeing horses.

After Ye Qiu embraced her onto the horse, Xiaomai seemed much more at ease in Ye Qiu’s arms.

Ye Qiu swung the whip, and the horse galloped forward.

Looking at Ye Qiu like this, Cao Long and Young Master Zhou were insanely envious, with four beauties accompanying Ye Qiu.

Of course, given their status, they could find any kind of beauty in the Capital City, but they wouldn’t have real girlfriends; those women were just to play with and discard.

To them, women are burdens and they might only seek them out at upscale clubs.

As Ye Qiu rode forward, Xiaomai held in his arms felt truly happy, she knew that if she hadn’t met Ye Qiu in this life, what would it be like?

She was unsure, before she was not only blind, but also had a bit of a curved back, even though she had looks, but with her orphan identity and this body, how could she marry into a good family?

However, she has now completely fallen in love with Ye Qiu.

She just won’t say it out loud.

"Xiaomai, how is it?"

"Very fun. I would’ve asked Sister Ye Xue to come along if I knew."

Now Xiaomai and Ye Xue have the best relationship, like sisters. She also thought that if Ye Xue came to play, it would be nice.

"In the future, I will bring my parents and my sister to visit the Capital City."

After taking a lap around, returning to the place, Cao Long said: "Doctor Ye, over there is horse hunting, want to join?"

Horse hunting?

Isn’t it archery?

This is perfect for a little play.

In the cold weapon era, bows and arrows were lethal, especially when on horseback, they were even more powerful.

However, now entering the hot weapon era, despite bows and arrows still being strong weapons, they don’t fit the modern combat style anymore.

It’s just now in the primeval forest, there are quite a few primitives still using bows and arrows for hunting.

As Ye Qiu followed Cao Long and others over, he saw the Capital City youths who were playing bowling earlier were all there, each with a horse.

Of course, the Crown Prince’s Faction leader was also present.

When they saw Ye Qiu appear, they glanced at him, then looked elsewhere.

This time, the horseback hunting will be done with bows and arrows, other weapons are prohibited; these animals would include wild chickens, ducks, rabbits, even goats, and a wild deer.

This time, these Capital City youths and other club members were all aiming for that wild deer, to see who is more skillful and can take down that deer.

Such animal hunts only happen several times a month, very rare.

Ye Qiu prepared to participate.

As for Liu Lingxiu and the others, it’s a no-go, they don’t ride horses.

The four women can only sit on Ye Qiu’s horse, following him to watch.

Now only Lin Xiang hasn’t ridden a horse, logically speaking, it should be Lin Xiang’s turn, but unexpectedly, Cao Ling said: "Ye Qiu, I want to see."

Clearly, Cao Ling really likes this kind of activity.

As for Liu Lingxiu and Xiaomai, it’s fine, whether following Ye Qiu or not.

Lin Xiang though wants to follow and watch.

Especially since she just didn’t ride with Ye Qiu earlier.

"Then come on up."

Ye Qiu said.

Cao Ling didn’t expect Ye Qiu to agree. Seeing Liu Lingxiu and the other three not showing any expressions, Cao Ling extended her hand, and Ye Qiu lifted her onto the horse.

Horse riding with beauties?

Especially when they all considered Cao Ling a stunning beauty, Ye Qiu’s actions seemed to provoke public resentment.

However, the Crown Prince’s Faction leader’s expression remained the same; to him, his birth was already destined. Money and women meant nothing to him.

He has access to any woman he desires; what he likes is that high power and status.

Therefore, he was unfazed.

When Cao Ling sat in Ye Qiu’s arms, the match hadn’t started yet, and many released wild chickens, ducks, rabbits, and goats added up to more than a hundred animals, mainly not letting these people return empty-handed.

Upon announcing the start, as those animals desperately burrow into the woods, Ye Qiu has already picked up the bow and arrows.

"Ye Qiu, is this your first time shooting?"

Cao Ling asked.

"Yes, first time."

Ye Qiu indeed was handling a bow and arrow for the first time.

But in the Heavenly Court Imperial Medical Bureau, and absorbing those Soul Consciousness, he’s aware that quite a few people have practiced this before, so when he picked up the bow and arrows, it felt natural.

This feeling was as if inherent.

While many people on horseback needed both hands on the horse, not daring to let go to shoot.

Of course, some of the Capital City youths have nerve, they’re quite skilled, letting go, not holding the horse, and once spotting the animal, they began shooting, but, one could say, chances of hitting an animal were zero.

These arrows hadn’t landed yet, the animals already fled.

Whether wild chickens or rabbits, they ran very fast.

Plus, with so many horses running, they were scared, fleeing deeper into the woods.

Survival of the fittest, the law of nature seemingly prevails here now.

Regarding such activities, it’s not about humanity or inhumanity, it’s always been in the country, even many abroad use handguns to hunt, making it both easier and more brutal.

"Cao Ling, what do you want to eat? Should I shoot a rabbit for you to roast?"

"Rabbits are so cute, I wouldn’t eat them." Cao Ling replied.

"Then how about a wild chicken?"

Now there are plenty of wild chickens outside, even many raised ones; the feathers of these wild chickens appear very beautiful, actually, once the feathers shed, they’re not very heavy.

Regarding the meat quality, back in the Southwest Plague Area when Ye Qiu went up the mountain seeking the source of infectious disease, he had tasted it; the meat quality is quite decent.

"Wild chickens are okay."

Ye Qiu strung the bow and arrow, when the Iron Arrow flew straight out, it pierced through the head of the wild chicken, hitting the tree under it.

Cao Ling was truly amazed upon witnessing this; she didn’t expect Ye Qiu to be so good at archery!

And this scene naturally caught the eyes of many Capital City youths.

Now that Ye Qiu had killed this wild chicken, he didn’t need to retrieve it himself, as Long Deer Villa’s staff collected it.
