The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 341 - 210: Ying Ce Must Not Be Killed

Yun Chunnuan slept until the sun was high in the sky.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the man sitting by the bed, gazing at her blissfully.

"You’re awake, still tired? Hurting anywhere?"

Yun Chunnuan’s pretty face turned crimson instantly, and she shook her head gently.

"How long have you been sitting here?"

She realized her sleeping posture upon waking wasn’t very graceful, and she wasn’t sure if she drooled or something.

If he saw that, it would be so embarrassing!

Yelyu Lie chuckled, "Oh, just about two hours, witnessing a certain princess grinding her teeth, snoring, drooling a bit now and then, and kicking the quilt."

Yun Chunnuan: "!"

Gah!

She quickly felt around the pillow and indeed found it a bit moist.

She was so embarrassed she wished she could just fall back asleep immediately.

Yun Chunnuan tried to appear calm, "What are you doing sitting here watching me sleep? Are you a creep?"

"Hm."

Yelyu Lie was full of spirit!

His long and dense eyelashes drooped slightly, half-covering his amber pupils, rich with deep honey color, like a long-dry land nourished by spring rain.

His gaze on her was even warmer and softer than before.

"Nuannuan."

"Hmm?"

"Nuannuan."

"What?"

"Nuannuan."

"..."

To Yun Chunnuan, this wedding was really just going through the motions.

She had come from another world and, apart from Bianliao and the General Mansion, hadn’t been anywhere else.

She had long since considered this place her home.

Although there hadn’t been any substantial progress, she had long regarded this man as her husband.

So she couldn’t understand his thoughts.

But to Yelyu Lie, it was entirely different.

He finally truly and genuinely had her.

No longer did he have to worry, fearing she’d still think of someone else, fearing she’d run away again without warning.

Though he was reluctant to admit it, Yelyu Lie knew he was actually quite insecure.

His little wife was too wonderful!

So wonderful that no matter what he did, he felt he couldn’t match her.

She deserved to be with someone like an otherworldly being.

And he was an ordinary man, a simple man.

But she chose him, chose him in front of that otherworldly being, without the slightest hesitation.

It was like placing a stabilizing pill in his heart, so he’d no longer need to worry, no longer need to fear...

"Nuannuan."

He sighed, leaned down, and embraced the newly-awakened lovely girl into his arms.

Her scent was sweet, making him indulge in it like it was honey.

Yun Chunnuan was stunned.

If she wasn’t mistaken, weren’t those honey-colored pupils slightly misty?

She hurriedly embraced his broad chest, gently stroking his back, "Husband, I’m here, I’m here, what’s wrong? Missing your mother?"

They say newlyweds often miss their parents dearly.

And yesterday, his mother hadn’t personally witnessed their wedding ceremony, so he must be missing her deeply, right?

The man in her arms suddenly stiffened.

I was just moved that my little darling finally became my wife, how did it turn into missing my mother?

Yelyu Lie, feeling a headache.

Having a little wife who couldn’t read the room was really quite amusing and exasperating. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

He lifted his head and gave a gentle peck on her plump lips, "Mother is having a great time in Nanqi, why miss her?"

Yelyu Lie said, pulling out a delicate little wooden box from beside the pillow.

"This was rushed from Nanqi, with a letter saying you must open it yourself, and I’m not allowed to look."

Yun Chunnuan slowly sat up, suspiciously opening the wooden box.

Inside was a small peach-colored porcelain bottle and a familiar paper roll, tied with hair-thin hemp rope, with a delicate bow.

Yun Chunnuan unfolded the paper; inside were just two short lines:

Ying Ce, unkillable.

Thousand-year tortoise, ten-thousand-year turtle.

Yun Chunnuan: "?!"

Isn’t this Grandmaster’s handwriting? But how does she know Ying Ce?

And he can’t be killed?

What kind of nonsense is thousand-year tortoise, ten-thousand-year turtle?

"Husband, look!" Before the paper ignited spontaneously, Yun Chunnuan quickly let Yelyu Lie see.

Indeed, as soon as he glanced at it, the yellowed paper caught fire and turned to ashes.

"This is written by Grandmaster, right?"

Yelyu Lie frowned, nodded, "How does she know that lunatic?"
