The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 76: Never Going Back

That night, Yun Chunnuan went back and used a sieve to filter out the large particles of dry grass and impurities.

Only the relatively clean white wood ash was left, which she soaked in boiling water for an hour.

The resulting lye was of high purity, but the lye water was very murky.

She put it in a small jar, keeping track of the time, planning to make the soap two hours later, even if it meant staying up all night.

Yelyu Lie was watching his young wife curiously from the side all along.

Seeing ash on the tip of her nose, he reached out a large hand to help wipe it off.

But Yun Chunnuan was too focused and instinctively dodged.

Yelyu Lie’s hand stalled in mid-air, and his young wife brushed him aside, telling him not to get in the way.

This made Yelyu Lie quite frustrated.

He couldn’t understand why she always instinctively avoided him!

If it were deliberate, he wouldn’t be so sensitive, but because it was an unconscious reaction, it didn’t sit well with him...

Yelyu Lie turned around sullenly and went back to the room.

Yun Chunnuan didn’t notice and remained focused on her work.

By the time she finished, Auntie Ye had prepared dinner, but the Barbarian General was nowhere to be seen.

Yun Chunnuan searched around and finally found him in the room...

The tall and strong figure was lying on his side on blankets laid on the floor, with his back to the large bed.

Yun Chunnuan thought he was tired and had fallen asleep, and seeing that he was not covered, she quietly went over and gently covered him with the quilt from the couch.

To her surprise, the man who had his eyes tightly closed suddenly opened his long eyelashes, glaring with his clear, shallow pupils at her.

Yun Chunnuan was baffled by the glare, sensing that something was off about his expression. "What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

"Here!" Yelyu Lie pointed to his chest.

Yun Chunnuan: "..."

This guy... is he acting spoiled with her?

Could it be he’s in heat again?

She wouldn’t fall for that!

"Feeling stuffy in the chest? You should rest early if you haven’t been sleeping well."

Yun Chunnuan said earnestly, then got up to leave.

Yelyu Lie couldn’t let her go and solemnly and earnestly asked, holding his young wife’s hand, "What exactly are you dissatisfied with about me?"

Yun Chunnuan blinked, not understanding, "No, the thing I’m most thankful for upon coming to this place is meeting you. How could I be dissatisfied?

If there was any dissatisfaction before, it was because you had too many women, and I was put off by that.

But wasn’t that a misunderstanding? Other than that, there is nothing else to be unhappy about."

"Really?"

"Truer than pearls!"

Yelyu Lie: "..."

Doesn’t this phrase sound familiar?

Last time, his young wife tricked him into changing the wedding banquet to a family dinner by saying this!

Later she said it was a ploy to appease him...

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of a well rope.

Yelyu Lie wasn’t unwilling to trust his young wife, he just dared not.

But he’s not one to bottle things up and say nothing.

If he stayed silent about his grievances, how would she know?

"Then why did you dodge me just now? Acting like I’m some snake or scorpion, it’s not a good feeling!"

"Dodge you? I didn’t!"

Yun Chunnuan thought hard but couldn’t figure it out.

She looked at him in confusion and then noticed the insecurity hidden in his eyes, buried deep in his bones...

She couldn’t help but think of the White Wolf hiding from people during the day.

In an instant, she understood his vulnerability.

It was a kind of fragility that no one would discover unless he spoke of it, which he carefully protected, not wanting anyone to notice.

Because he is Yelyu Lie.

The one who battled on the field, mighty and heroic Mighty General!

He appeared so strong and solid, how could he have weakness? How could he permit any fragility?

But thinking about his growing environment...

Everyone overlooked how that small child who was thrown onto the battlefield at a young age, grew step by step into who he is today.

How did that child grow up healthily, free from shadows, free from darkness?

Warm, sunny, and optimistic.

Hearing just a few simple insults like ’bastard’, but what kind of darkness did he actually experience, and who knows the truth?

The child living within him, whom he carefully protects, must be very vulnerable, very sensitive, right?

Yelyu Lie, in his grievance, tinged with a bit of indignation, gazed at his little dear, urgently seeking an answer.

Why was he so despised to this extent?

What did he have to do for her to... trust him, rely on him...

Yet, the pent-up frustration dissolved completely into panic when he saw his young wife’s eyes gradually reddening.

"Please... don’t cry! I was being silly and couldn’t control my temper again..."

"Yelyu Lie, I’m sorry." The Little Princess covered all he wanted to say with her soft palm.

"There’s nothing wrong with you, not a single thing! If I have shown any attitude towards you in the past, don’t mind it, it’s just that I have not yet adapted to a life with someone else beside me, give me some time, I will slowly change, okay?"

She had never faced him like this, facing him truly.

The more she got to know him, the more she felt for him.

He, like a fool, just wanted to present all the good things before her, and while she was touched, she could never fully integrate herself into this world, into his life.

Because... her heart always yearned for her world.

There, she had her parents, her relatives, her friends, her classmates, and everyone familiar.

Also, phones, computers, games, studies...

Too many things she was attached to.

She always held a thread of hope, wondering if, one day, perhaps, she would wake up to find this was all a dream.

That she died saving someone, was also a dream...

Upon waking, she’d be back with her parents, still the carefree Little Princess held in their palms.

And not in this body that didn’t belong to her, nor in this world!

Her eagerness to meet the Barbarian General’s possible time-traveling mother was all driven by that notion in her heart.

In other words, when he joyfully intended to take her to meet his mother, she was thinking of leaving him...

Yet she never thought of what would happen to him if she left?

He has given her his heart.

If she disappears, what will he do...

There’s no going back, Yun Chunnuan, there’s no going back...

Even if, one day, she discovers she’s once again in her vibrant era, could she really just let go of everything here, let go of this stubborn Barbarian? 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Your most admired person, isn’t it your dad?

Dad said, parental companions are temporary, and eventually, everyone will find a companion to walk together for the rest of their life.

That person will be the most important one in your life...

The turn of events ended with the Little Princess crying, with the sky spinning and dizzy in the Barbarian General’s embrace.

Yelyu Lie panicked!

He couldn’t figure out why he, who was supposed to be angry, ended up apologizing to the Little Princess instead?

What went wrong?

Little did he know, through this ordeal, his darling let go of many previous obsessions...
