Chapter 161: Qi Ji yi Yue, the Beast-eared Girls’ Hearts Were Pierced!
The Beast-eared Girls and the two Winged Girls looked at Lin Ye’s posture just now. That scene was etched into their minds as if carved by knives and axes. After the Unicorn’s front hooves touched the ground again, the Beast-eared Girls were still stunned. Mingyun and Ling’er, flying in the air, were so shocked that they forgot to flap their wings and descended unsteadily. After landing, Mingyun swallowed hard. The scene from just now kept replaying in her mind. The Beast-eared Girls’ faces gradually revealed infatuated expressions. After landing, the Unicorn shook its neck a few times, sore from Lin Ye’s pull. The Beast-eared Girls sat on the backs of the wild horses, which were still slowly moving forward. “Hoo!” After landing, Lin Ye also let out a sigh of relief. Then he looked at the wild horses carrying the Beast-eared Girls as they slowly walked towards him. Lin Ye, riding the Unicorn, was bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun. Mingyun looked at him from the side, and Lin Ye seemed to be wearing golden armor. As the wild horses approached Lin Ye within “Liu Yiqi” distance, their originally not-so-fast pace became smoother. Finally, they all stopped in front of Lin Ye. The Beast-eared Girls had snapped back to reality, but looking at Lin Ye riding the Unicorn, their eyes seemed to bloom with peach blossoms. They couldn’t control their excited hearts at all. Lin Ye’s maneuver of stopping the horse had directly pierced the hearts of all the Beast-eared Girls present. When they saw Lin Ye’s dashing figure riding the Unicorn, they realized that riding a horse could be so cool. And when they saw Lin Ye perform a sudden stop on the Unicorn, the Beast-eared Girls were all captivated by Lin Ye’s appearance. Lin Ye rode the Unicorn for a few laps, his face flushed with excitement. Looking at the Beast-eared Girls gazing at him, Lin Ye smiled and asked them, “How is it? Does riding a horse on the saddle not hurt anymore?” After hearing Lin Ye’s words, the Beast-eared Girls all nodded at him. However, the admiration and worship in their eyes had not diminished at all. At this moment, Mingyun and Ling’er also flew over. The two Winged Girls hovered in the air, at a height that allowed them to be at eye level with Lin Ye. Then, with stars of admiration in her eyes, Mingyun said to Lin Ye, “Ye, you were so amazing just now, so handsome.” “And you rode the Unicorn so fast, even I, who flies the fastest, could barely keep up,” Mingyun said, circling around Lin Ye. Lin Ye smiled happily upon hearing this. At this moment, Shi, sitting on the horse’s back, asked Lin Ye, “Yeah, Ye, why can you ride the Unicorn so fast?” After Shi finished asking, the other Beast-eared Girls behind her all nodded at Lin Ye, waiting for him to speak. Lin Ye smiled and shook his head at the Beast-eared Girls, then said, “It’s just because Unicorns run faster. After everyone slowly gets used to it, you can all run faster and faster.” “Moreover, in the future, you can practice shooting arrows while riding a horse.” When the Beast-eared Girls heard Lin Ye’s words, their eyes widened with excitement, and smiles appeared on their faces. “Ye, really? Can we all ride faster and faster in the future?” Shi asked excitedly, her face flushed. The Beast-eared Girls behind her were also uncontrollably excited. They looked at each other and then all smiled happily. After the Beast-eared Girls laughed for a while, Xing suddenly paused and asked Lin Ye with a hint of uncertainty, “Ye, you just said we can practice shooting arrows on horseback?” As Xing’s voice faded, the Beast-eared Girls’ laughter abruptly stopped. They all remembered that Lin Ye had indeed mentioned this earlier. They then all looked at Lin Ye, their expressions filled with disbelief. They had only recently learned to shoot arrows, and now they were just starting to learn how to ride horses. They never expected these two new skills could be combined! Lin Ye smiled and nodded at them, then said, “Yes, shooting arrows while riding a horse is called mounted archery, and it’s very difficult to learn.” “To master mounted archery, you not only need to be accurate with your arrows but also develop a deep connection with your mount.” “Don’t worry about it for now. Once you have a good rapport with your mounts and have honed your riding skills, then you can start practicing mounted archery.” Listening to Lin Ye, the Beast-eared Girls all imagined themselves shooting arrows on horseback. Although Lin Ye said they would have to wait until later to practice mounted archery, this did not dampen their current aspirations. Then, Lin Ye looked at Shi and asked her, “Shi, did you learn how to ride a horse by yourself these past few days?” When Lin Ye tamed these wild horses, he had already given them commands not to run too fast. However, Shi, relying on her own discovered riding techniques, had managed to make the wild horse run. Shi happily nodded at Lin Ye, smiling with bared teeth, “Yes, Ye, I discovered that if I ride like this, the horse runs faster.” After hearing Shi’s answer, Lin Ye was slightly surprised. Shi was truly a genius. Before, she had never even seen a horse, let alone ridden one. Yet, on her first time riding, she had figured out the most basic riding techniques on her own. The other Beast-eared Girls were simply sitting on the horses, letting them go where they pleased. Lin Ye, on the other hand, had learned by watching movies and TV shows, mimicking how others rode horses to achieve such speed on the Unicorn. Originally, Lin Ye had been considering whether to redeem riding skills from the system shop to teach the Beast-eared Girls… Now, it seemed that after some time, they might be able to develop complete riding techniques on their own. With this thought, Lin Ye looked at Shi and said, “Shi, for the next few days, whenever you have free time, ride horses around and continue to research how to ride them faster.” “No, not just faster, but also more stable. Then, teach the postures and movements you discover to the others.” “I’ll entrust you with the task of teaching everyone how to ride, and don’t rush. Take your time.” Shi felt a bit nervous hearing Lin Ye’s words. But seeing Lin Ye smiling at her, Shi felt a surge of confidence from somewhere and nodded resolutely at Lin Ye. The other Beast-eared Girls were all smiling at Shi from the side. Seeing that the Beast-eared Girls were reluctant to get off their horses, Lin Ye asked, “Do you want to ride around for a couple more laps?” As soon as Lin Ye said this, all the Beast-eared Girls nodded at him with joy. “Alright, then I’ll teach you how to make the horse stop. You can stop the horses yourselves later.” After Lin Ye finished speaking, their eyes sparkled with excitement. Lin Ye gently squeezed the Unicorn’s belly with his legs. The Unicorn, which had been curiously watching Mingyun and Ling’er flying around, began to walk slowly. “Whoa!” After the Unicorn took a couple of steps, Lin Ye pulled on the reins and shouted, and the Unicorn stopped as if responding. The Unicorn, however, looked helpless and turned its head, looking at Lin Ye with one eye. Its gaze seemed to say, “I understand you perfectly. Why aren’t you using the automatic transmission and insisting on using manual for that legendary sense of control?” In fact, it wasn’t that troublesome to make the Unicorn stop; it could understand him if he just told it. However, these wild horses, with their limited intelligence, were like ordinary beasts. They could only be controlled in this manner. Lin Ye looked at the Unicorn’s gaze and casually kicked it with his heel. The Beast-eared Girls, after seeing Lin Ye’s demonstration, also wanted to try. However, the wild horses stood still on the ground. Lin Ye had taught them how to stop the horses, but they still didn’t know how to make them move. The Beast-eared Girls tried a few times themselves, but the wild horses wouldn’t budge. Finally, the Beast-eared Girls looked to Lin Ye for help. Seeing the Beast-eared Girls’ predicament, Lin Ye couldn’t help but laugh. While laughing, he said, “Gently squeeze the horse’s belly with your legs and pull the reins slightly, and it will start moving.” As Lin Ye spoke, he wasn’t just talking to the Beast-eared Girls. Lin Ye was also using his Beast Taming Technique to add this reaction to the wild horses. Otherwise, untrained wild horses wouldn’t know what it meant to move forward or stop.
