The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 112 - 102: Potatoes! They’re Really Potatoes!
Yelyu Lie thought his little wife was still feeling sorry for him. While touched, he also felt a bit stifled.
He could only keep teasing her to make her happy, constantly telling her that the scar had long since stopped hurting—it’s just not a pretty sight.
Couldn’t let her feel sad every time she saw it, right?
That would break his heart!
On their way back holding hands, Yun Chunnuan was wrapped in Yelyu Lie’s coat, while he was only in a single-layered garment, feeling warm inside and not cold at all.
Along the way, the Little Princess was unusually silent. Yelyu Lie tried to cheer her up several times, but her responses were noticeably perfunctory.
Yelyu Lie assumed she was still in a bad mood, unaware that she was brewing a grand plan inside...
But this plan made her feel a bit conflicted, so she was hesitating whether to execute it or not.
When to execute it?
After the marriage, or tonight...
As she pondered, they had already returned to the main courtyard, where Qiao’er was pacing anxiously at the door.
Finally seeing the General and the Little Princess, Qiao’er hurriedly approached, "General! Princess! Someone has come from the palace! The King has summoned the General and the Princess to the Royal Palace!!!"
Yun Chunnuan had never seen that King before. After all, he was the ruler of a country, so she immediately collected her thoughts, glanced anxiously at the man beside her, "Is it Yelyu Nalan... or the Ugly Prince?"
Yun Chunnuan suddenly realized she had offended quite a few people in the past two days!
And each one more significant than the last...
There’s no need to mention the Ugly Prince, but technically, Yelyu Nalan is also a Princess of Bianliao.
She bullied both the King’s son and daughter; was he here to stand up for his children?
But why should he?
When her Barbarian General was bullied as a child, his father never stood up for him!
Though initially a bit apprehensive, Yun Chunnuan was now determined to display the might of a Great Xia Princess!
What was there to fear?
Why should she be afraid?
No matter how dissatisfied that King of Bianliao was with her, she represented Great Xia!
He had no right to punish her!
Besides, her Barbarian General had given her the Death Exemption Token bestowed by the Great Ancestor, didn’t it mean even the King had to pay respects?
This settled, Yun Chunnuan decided to enter the palace to meet that King of Bianliao.
Yelyu Lie, however, had no intention of letting the recently awakened little one go to the Royal Palace again.
Bianliao’s royal family was chaotic, with many things she didn’t know. If discovered... it would make one sick, and perhaps even cause her to despise him...
"Nuannuan, wait for me in the room; I’ll be back before dinner."
Yun Chunnuan blinked in confusion, "Didn’t they say I have to go too?"
This was the King’s order, wasn’t her Barbarian General afraid? And he just casually refused?
"No problem, I’ll just say you’re not feeling well and can see him another day."
"Alright then."
It was just meeting an insignificant person, so Yun Chunnuan didn’t insist.
She simply stuffed the Death Exemption Token he gave her into the Barbarian General’s hand, "Hold on to this. If that King dares to take action against you because of those two shameless brats, you should..."
"Silly girl, it’s not as scary as you think." Yelyu Lie chuckled as he lightly tapped her pert nose, putting the Death Exemption Token back into her hand, "This is for you, keep it safe, don’t take it out casually.
After using it too many times, it loses its effectiveness."
What’s that supposed to mean, Yun Chunnuan didn’t quite understand.
Watching the Barbarian General and the eunuch who came to escort him leave, she returned to her room and obediently put away the Death Exemption Token.
Yun Chunnuan initially wanted to check how the handmade soap had cooled, but inadvertently glanced at the wooden box below the balcony where she had planted potato flowers.
In an instant, she was stunned!
The white potato flower only grew a sturdy stem, without much change.
The light purple one, which she had been nurturing with Blood Beads from ten days ago, had its petals shed and quickly withered, its tubers growing larger faster than the white one.
She had thought she would have to wait at least a few more days to see if potatoes could actually sprout.
Unexpectedly, in the sparse soil on the other side of the wooden box, a few tiny potatoes were already faintly visible beneath the roots!!!
Yun Chunnuan covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming out loud.
She hurried to the wooden box, examining the tiny potatoes closely.
Yes, yes! There’s no mistaking it! They are potatoes, real potatoes!
So fast! So fast...
Yun Chunnuan was overwhelmingly excited.
She forced herself to calm down, carefully comparing the two potato plants.
Finally, Yun Chunnuan came to a conclusion.
Her Blood Beads do indeed have a catalytic effect.
And the longer they take to settle, the stronger the effect.
For example, the white potato flower didn’t change much.
But the one fed with Blood Beads from ten days ago had already borne fruit.
So if applied to a person, like the scars on her Barbarian General...
Would Blood Beads aged longer have a better effect?
Unfortunately, today he discarded all the remaining ones from ten days ago...
I’ll give it another try.
First, I’ll store some and slowly explore the functions of the Blood Beads.
This time, I mustn’t let the Barbarian General find out...
Yun Chunnuan grabbed a dagger and pierced the fingertip of her right hand, which bore a red circle.
This dagger was something she had stored away from the wooden box before, and she didn’t expect it to be so sharp.
Inadvertently, the cut became wider, directly breaking the red circle.
This time, only three Blood Beads fell from her hand, but the blood flowed along her soft white fingers, dripping onto her hand and the ground.
The magical ring given by her future mother-in-law was worn on this finger.
As the Blood Beads landed on it, the ring emitted a faint red glow.
Yun Chunnuan thought she had broken her Golden Finger, as she was already short on Blood Beads, panic setting in.
In the moment, she didn’t notice the ring’s change.
After she wiped the blood off her hand and knelt down to collect the three Blood Beads...
She discovered another item that had fallen out of nowhere...
