The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 426 - 289: Xiao Qi, Are You All Right?

Shen Ruosui initially thought that the foolish apprentice was bullying the Little Princess.

He rushed forward in anger and slapped the back of his head.

The slap was sharp and loud, echoing in the room, leaving Yun Chunnuan and Yelyu Lie stunned.

Shen Ruosui still hadn’t noticed anything unusual. Seeing the Little Princess crying like a pear blossom in the rain, with her clothes in disarray, he became even angrier, "When will you change your reckless behavior? Did the young lady accept you? How can you do such a thing?"

Shen Ruosui clearly knew that Yun Chunnuan was supposed to return to her original world.

A woman who constantly thinks of her husband and children, how could she accept another man in a different time and space?

Although strictly speaking, the foolish apprentice could be considered a part of her lover too.

But, fake is still fake!

Even if a thousand identical people appeared, no one could replace the original beauty in the heart.

This, Shen Ruosui understood better than anyone else...

"Grandmaster, are your old eyes failing you because of your age? What did I do? This fragile girl’s arm could dislocate easily, I was just setting her bones!"

Yelyu Lie was speechless to the extreme.

He admitted that he always wanted to do something to the Little Princess, but she had already resolutely rejected him. If he used force, wouldn’t it really prove he was inferior to his otherworldly self?

Knowing the grandmaster misunderstood, Yun Chunnuan quickly explained, "Grandmaster, he didn’t do anything to me. I just accidentally dislocated my arm while excitedly trying to pull the door..."

"Really?" Shen Ruosui suspiciously looked at the Little Princess, and seeing her nod, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Is your arm okay now?"

"Yes, Grandmaster, have you connected with the you in that world?"

Shen Ruosui was about to respond when he noticed the foolish apprentice was still there, "You’re a grown man, do what you need to do. Staring at your woman won’t make her yours."

"Grandmaster! You truly are my dearest grandmaster!"

Yelyu Lie glared hatefully at Shen Ruosui, then turned to the Little Princess with a very serious look in his eyes, "Don’t forget what you promised me, or I’ll chase you to the ends of the earth and never let you leave!"

After leaving those harsh words, he finally turned and left.

After he left, Shen Ruosui suspiciously asked, "Little Nuannuan, what did you promise that brat?"

Yun Chunnuan kept watching the man’s figure disappear into the room, unafraid of his threatening words. Instead, her lips curved into a helpless yet slightly indulgent smile, "It’s nothing, Grandmaster, you don’t need to worry."

No matter which life her husband was in, he was always the honorable man who would never use force on her.

Even just now, when he threatened to force her, she was frightened and tried to escape.

But when her arm got injured, he still did nothing.

What he sought was just to have her whole day before she left, where she would be the Little Princess of this world.

Yun Chunnuan agreed.

She promised him that once the trouble with Ying Ce was solved, she would go to the grasslands with him.

He said he wanted to show her Jifeng, to let her truly feel what Bianliao was like.

What he didn’t know was that the him in the other world had already shown her these things.

Let’s pretend like nothing ever happened...

"Grandmaster, have you connected with the you in that world yet?"

Shen Ruosui’s eyes suddenly brightened, sitting by the bed and holding the Little Princess’s hand, "Little Nuannuan, we will definitely send you back there! But you need to play a role for me, maybe..."

She whispered her plan into Yun Chunnuan’s ear.

*

Just as Shen Ruosui anticipated, that afternoon, an uninvited guest arrived at the General Mansion.

It was none other than the Regent King of Great Xia Country, Ying Ce.

The moment they saw him, everyone, including Yun Chunnuan, was so shocked that they couldn’t recover for a long time.

That day, Yun Chunnuan only saw him from a distance, arriving travel-worn, with the wind mussing his white hair. Yun Chunnuan only felt more terrified, but at this moment, Ying Ce seemed like a fairy descending from the heavens to the mortal world.

He wore an all-white outfit, even his cloak was white, with a circle of fox fur around his almost transparent pale face, blending with his head full of silver hair.

His lips carried a faint smile, and his peach blossom eyes filled with sparkling clarity like jade.

His pupils were particularly large and black, resembling those of a baby, with an innocence in his gaze that was so pure, unsullied by the world.

The black-haired Ying Ce was also stunning, but he was nowhere near as eye-catching as his white-haired self.

This version of him had a more pronounced aura of fragility, as if he could be blown over by a gust of wind.

His tall and thin figure stood there with a gentle smile, making it impossible to associate him with the word ’evil’.

He was so beautiful, so fragile, how could he be a villainous big boss meant to destroy the world?

No wonder the Barbarian General doubted her words about him being a villain after visiting the palace.

At this moment, Yun Chunnuan even started to doubt herself, wondering if this person was the crazed version from the fourth world?

She instinctively turned to glance at the Grandmaster and found her staring fixedly at the white-haired man as well.

"Hey, how did your hair turn white?"

Whatever Shen Ruosui was thinking, she spoke it out loud.

Seeing the girl accompanying Xiao Qi, Ying Ce tilted his head slightly, feeling he had seen her somewhere before, but unable to recall.

Hmm, it doesn’t matter.

He maintained a slight smile, "I was ill for a while, no need to worry."

Who the hell is worried about you!

Shen Ruosui rolled her eyes and finally came back to her senses.

What a pity, really a pity, such a good-looking face wasted, why does he have to cling to Little Nuannuan, making trouble all the time!

This ’no need to worry’ from Ying Ce was not directed at Shen Ruosui.

His gaze fell on the Little Princess, noticing no disgust or resistance in her eyes.

Instead, from initial shock, her eyes filled with distress, and only then did he comfort her: no need to worry.

Ying Ce found it hard to decipher the young lady’s attitude now.

Everything seemed to be slipping from his control again.

From the moment she inexplicably disappeared in the forest, he had lost control.

He didn’t even know if the girl looking at him with such pity was the one he was searching for.

"Xiao Qi, are you alright?"

Ying Ce remained composed as he stood there, neither too eager nor showing any hint of forceful possession.

Yun Chunnuan nodded slightly, "Uncle Wang, you must have been worried. The General has treated me well, and everyone in the mansion has been very warm. But you, with your weak health, must have had a hard time traveling all the way to Bianliao, right?"
