Chapter 696 - 696: Face-Smacking!

“Bang!”

Ji Shuai took a cool pose, aiming for the gorilla’s eyes.

He was considered a sharpshooter in the army, fully capable of hitting the target, so he trusted himself deeply.

Before setting off, his younger sister Ji Bingbing had been nagging him to protect the Princess and claiming that the Princess was the strongest woman in the world. She insisted that he must not oppose the Princess and should listen to her advice…

However, given his character, how could he obey his sister’s orders?

So, from the very beginning, he never took Shen Ruojing seriously. After all, how could he, in his sister’s heart, be inferior to a woman?

Moreover, Shen Ruojing, this woman, was so ordinary and sensitive, far too ladylike!

Today, he planned to use this gorilla to teach Shen Ruojing a lesson and show her what masculine power really was!

He also wanted his sister to understand that the woman she admired was not worth it!

However, when he fired his gun, the gorilla was not hit. Instead, there was a “bang” sound and his gun backfired!

If it had been any other time, this situation would have blown off Ji Shuai’s hand, and he would never be able to hold a gun again in his life!

But at this moment, Shen Ruojing was prepared.

As soon as Ji Shuai pulled the trigger, she already kicked out, sending the gun flying from his hand. The gun then exploded in mid-air with a “bang”, and Ji Shuai was merely startled, but his hand was fine.

Ji Shuai was stunned.

Shen Ruojing, however, had no time to argue with him about right or wrong. She immediately looked at the gorilla.

As expected, the gorilla was enraged and charged straight at them.

The soldiers on the side were about to raise their guns, but Shen Ruojing shouted, “Don’t shoot! There’s something wrong with your guns!”

Yan Zixuan was shouting at the Yan family’s soldiers in the distance, “Quickly, come and help!”

The Yan family’s soldiers had rushed over. Hearing the gunshot, they thought that a fight had broken out, and it was only when they got closer that they saw the gorilla. They were stunned and immediately raised their pistols, aiming at the gorilla.

Unfortunately, the guns they used for self-protection were like tickling the gorilla. The pain of the bullet entering its body only made the gorilla more furious. Seeing a group of people rushing over, the gorilla seemed to realize the threat of humans and simply charged in a different direction!

The soldier blocking the gorilla on that side was terrified.

Although he had trained in the army since he was a child, this was his first time encountering such a sudden situation.

After the gorilla charged over, it reached out its claws and pounced on him, clearly intending to grab this man and escape.

“Quick, dodge!”

Ji Shuai shouted but the soldier didn’t move.

Just when everyone thought that the soldier was done for, Shen Ruojing ran forward, kicked off a nearby tree, and lunged at the soldier, dragging him into the bushes.

As a result, the gorilla lost its target and wanted to attack them again, but the Yan family’s soldiers had arrived. Luo Yan and Yan Zixuan almost simultaneously fired their guns, aiming between Shen Ruojing and the gorilla.

After the gorilla was deterred, it hesitated for a moment before quickly fleeing.

The other soldiers didn’t chase after it.

Everyone knew that their firepower was only a deterrent to the gorilla. It wasn’t lethal enough!

The soldier lay limp on the ground, his chest heaving dramatically. He was clearly not yet recovered from his brush with death.

Shen Ruojing, however, immediately stood up, dusted off her clothes, and gave Luo Yan a thumbs-up, saying, “Well done.”

Before Shen Ruojing charged in, she had signaled to Luo Yan because she knew that if the gorilla wasn’t deterred after she rushed in, both she and the soldier would die!

Luo Yan’s hands were trembling at this moment.

Even though she had trained in the military, this was her first time firing at an animal. However, seeing Shen Ruojing’s thumbs-up, she immediately lit up with joy. The Princess’s approval gave her a deep sense of accomplishment!

Yan Zixuan watched them with envy and deep dissatisfaction.

This girl was clearly the Princess’s little fangirl, completely ignoring him, right? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yan Zixuan was unhappy, but he didn’t dare to vent his frustrations at Luo Yan or Shen Ruojing. So, he turned to Ji Shuai. “Do you see now? Do you believe it? The equipment that Jing Yi provided for you all is faulty! Those guns, I guarantee, every single one is defective!”

Upon hearing this, Ji Shuai took a deep breath. He still looked at Shen Ruojing with disbelief, but this time he didn’t act impulsively. Instead, he walked over to his comrade, picked up his pistol, and began to inspect it!

Even though there was no obvious difference between a gun that easily backfired and a normal one, Ji Shuai was extremely sensitive to firearms.. Being a sharpshooter, he could tell just by looking at the gun that there was something wrong with it!
