The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 81: Blood Beads

Saying you’re not touched would be a lie.

If someone tells you, ’I’ve used up all my luck in this life to meet you,’ it’s impossible not to feel moved.

Especially when this person is the one you’ve kept in your heart.

Yun Chunnuan placed her small hand over his large one on the fence, her voice soft yet firm, "If kindness were a crime, you’d be sentenced to life imprisonment~

But there’s no crime, so you’re not wrong.

The matter she went to discuss with Qiao’er’s brother, you actually knew long ago but never exposed it.

So, all these years, her gratitude towards you has already been repaid.

Yelyu Lie, people must look forward, not be engrossed in the past, and should cherish the present!"

Today, the Little Princess wore a scarlet long jacket, the cuffs lined with fluffy trim, which accentuated her porcelain-like face, making it look cleaner and more delicate, with a pair of slightly raised phoenix eyes, filled with gentle light rather than the sharpness of the first meeting.

Her long hair was smooth like silk, tied up with a red jade hairpin, revealing her slender and graceful neck.

On it, faintly, there was the mark of his kiss from earlier.

He just realized why Auntie Ye had been smiling at his wife all along.

It turns out...

Looking at the crimson plum blossom printed on her fair skin, Yelyu Lie’s gaze gradually became more intense.

What his wife said was right; people should look forward and cherish the present.

And what he cherishes most now is her.

Every little moment spent with her is deeply etched in his memory.

Even if he just looks at her like this, he feels it imprints on his heart for a lifetime.

"Nuannuan, you are always my present."

Yun Chunnuan was startled for a moment before she reacted, blushing bright red, "You’re mine too."

Yes, he is indeed her present.

Because of him, all of the past, she is willing to throw into the depths of memory and never touch again.

She’s afraid that recalling it would bring pain and homesickness.

But with him here, warming her, it seems that kind of pain has been healed.

As the sunset glowed golden on his face from behind, Yun Chunnuan looked at him and felt even more grateful for her luck.

Meeting him.

Luckily, the misunderstanding was cleared up before she could slip away, or she would have missed such a beautiful existence.

He is righteous, kind, sunny, determined, courageous...

All the beautiful words fit him perfectly as if tailored just for him.

Having such a person to spend the rest of her life with, just thinking about it feels like happiness.

As for how far this "forever" might go, Yun Chunnuan doesn’t want to consider it for now.

She had said people should live in the present, which has always been her principle in life.

In Yun Chunnuan’s world, her excellent academic performance could get her into the most prestigious university in the country, but she had a dream of performing, so she discussed it with her parents.

Her parents’ full support made her feel even more that she didn’t need to think too much about the future.

She only knew that at this moment, she was happy and blissful.

As for later...

Let the future worry about the future.

’Coo-coo-coo—’

As the two of them gazed deeply into each other’s eyes, a rooster’s shrill cry suddenly came from the chicken coop.

Yun Chunnuan’s mood shifted dramatically at the sight.

Two chickens were tangled together, and somehow a saw blade was hung above the coop.

Perhaps the battle between them was intense, and the rooster’s head passed right over the saw blade.

From the top of his comb down to the back of his neck, an inch-long gash was sliced open, even the comb fell off.

The hen had already fled in fright while the rooster clucked in pain incessantly.

Yelyu Lie spared the rooster a glance, not particularly concerned, but smiled at the little darling by his side, "Looks like you’ve got a treat again."

Yun Chunnuan: "..."

What does he mean by a treat again?

She doesn’t want just this one meal, okay?

For the long term, she wants endless chicken to eat!

Chicken is good, both nourishing and slimming!

"Yelyu Lie, are there any more roosters in the Royal Palace?" This was Yun Chunnuan’s primary concern. If the Royal Palace had more, they could add a dish; if not...

Yelyu Lie ruffled her hair fondly, "Do you think Bianliao is your Great Xia, where things are considered valuable simply because they’re said to be? The Royal Palace only has one left, and it’s a hen."

"Then what’s for dinner!" Yun Chunnuan was speechless, "Go get some golden sore medicine from Qiao’er! Last time, the little White Wolf healed quickly with it! Qiao’er knows which kind! And bring some bandages..."

There’s just this one rooster, of course, it must be saved!

The quickest and simplest method is her fingertip blood.

But first, she needs to send the Barbarian General away.

As for the golden sore medicine... it’s purely a pretext.

Yelyu Lie actually wanted to tell his little wife not to waste her efforts, saying that even with more eggs, little chicks wouldn’t hatch.

But seeing his wife’s anxious face, he helplessly pinched her soft cheek and complied...

Once he’d finally left, Yun Chunnuan hurriedly pressed her finger against the saw blade.

The anticipated flow of blood didn’t appear, and Yun Chunnuan thought the wound wasn’t deep enough, so she pressed between the two concentric circles again.

’Plop—’

A red bead rolled out from her wounded finger.

Then two, three... soon, they scattered all over the ground!

Yun Chunnuan was stunned, this scene was terrifying to her!

She quickly covered her wounded hand.

But suddenly remembered, it didn’t hurt anymore...

Last time, when she pricked it with a needle, it hurt a lot; why this time with the saw, it didn’t hurt at all?

Curious, she looked at her finger and found the wound was healing visibly!

Yun Chunnuan was so shocked that she couldn’t snap out of it. If it weren’t for the rooster’s painful clucking waking her up, she would have just stared at the pile of Blood Beads on the ground, not daring to touch them at all.

But now, she couldn’t afford not to act; when the Barbarian General returned and asked what they were, she wouldn’t know how to explain!

Yun Chunnuan hurriedly picked up the Blood Beads from the ground and put them in her money pouch hanging at her waist.

She hesitated for a moment and then placed two of them on the injured rooster’s neck.

Magically, the Blood Beads dissolved upon contact with liquid, and vivid red blood covered the wound completely...

When Yelyu Lie returned, his wife wouldn’t let him approach. She only asked for the golden sore medicine and bandages and then sent him away. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Yelyu Lie didn’t understand, but his wife said it was a custom of their Central Plains, that the wound couldn’t be seen by too many people, or it wouldn’t heal.

Yelyu Lie never doubted his wife’s words.

Even if they were lies, he would believe them as truth.

So he handed her the golden sore medicine and bandages, and then turned his back to the fenced yard, not looking into the chicken coop again.

For a long time, there was no sound.

Yelyu Lie called out, "Nuannuan? Do you need help?"

Still no response.

Yelyu Lie panicked and quickly went to the chicken coop, only to find his wife had collapsed on the ground!
