Chapter 158 - 123: She Crossed Over...
When this was brought up, Yun Chunnuan became excited.
This was her biggest secret!
At least to her, it was more thrilling than her identity as a time traveler, wasn’t it?
A Golden Finger!
Time acceleration!
It was practically a divine artifact!
She looked up with a face flushed with excitement, her bright eyes full of enthusiasm, "Blood Beads! Do you remember, the time I slashed my hand with the curved knife hanging on the antler, and you thought I was committing suicide? That was when I first discovered that the blood from my fingertips had the power to heal wounds!
It was Big White who helped me realize it~ It was injured, and when I accidentally touched its leg, my finger got bitten. Guess what? Its wound actually healed! I studied it for a while before I figured it out..."
"That little thing bit you? Where did it bite?"
Before Yun Chunnuan could finish speaking, her soft little hand was gripped by a pair of coarse big hands, anxiously examining her fingers, wrists, palms, and the back of her hands.
But both little hands were smooth and soft, and even the slender fingers didn’t have a single hair.
Except for a red ring on her right index finger.
It didn’t affect the delicate hand at all, but rather highlighted its alabaster glow.
However, the ring looked so strange, as if it was seamlessly... fused with the soft white flesh.
Yelyu Lie held the delicate little hand, studying it carefully.
His tanned, large hands, although well-jointed, slender, and strong, were very coarse.
The skin resembled cracked wheat fields, especially when contrasted with the Little Princess’s smooth and fair little hands, making them seem even more rugged.
Yun Chunnuan looked and felt pained, "Aren’t you silly? It was so long ago, how could there still be scars? Besides, I have my Golden Finger, it won’t leave scars! But you... you’re really not taking care of yourself... cracked like this, doesn’t it hurt?"
Yelyu Lie paused and instinctively said, "A bit if it’s wet, but usually it’s fine. Being on the battlefield without enough to eat, this little hardship is nothing. What’s wrong with you? Don’t cry, don’t cry! It doesn’t hurt! Really, I swear!"
"Bullshit!"
Yun Chunnuan couldn’t bear to think about his childhood because it would make her sad!
It seemed she never seriously looked at him, cared for him, this man who cherished her as a treasure, remembering everything she said casually...
"Yelyu Lie! From now on, I don’t allow you to treat yourself like this! Every inch of you, from your hair to your toes, belongs to me! Take good care of yourself, cherish yourself!
Now that the war is over, starting tomorrow, you’re going to obey me and take care of yourself every day. Whatever I tell you to do, just do it, don’t complain it’s troublesome! Do you hear me?"
His hands are so beautiful; how could they be so coarse?
And this face, clearly a super handsome guy! Coupled with a strong physique, in modern times, he could rival those male models on the runway, why not appreciate himself?
No one cared about him before, but now he has someone!
Yelyu Lie sighed helplessly, gently lifting her porcelain-white face by her sharp little chin.
With the pads of his fingers, he wiped away the golden teardrops falling from her eyes, "What to do with you, being so sentimental? A pair of hands can make you cry, with all my scars, wouldn’t you cry yourself to death?"
The little darling didn’t say anything, just looked at him with a reddened nose and eyes full of tears, "I don’t care, anyway, with me here from now on, I won’t let anyone bully you, not even yourself. Don’t let me see any scars on you! Otherwise... otherwise, I’ll... I’ll cut myself and see if it hurts your heart!"
"You dare!" Yelyu Lie clenched her soft little hand, suddenly recalling the day before the Blood Beads appeared, she had been cutting herself repeatedly with a knife.
What seemed like a miraculous thing at first, now seemed nothing good at all.
"Do you cut yourself every day like that?"
Yelyu Lie wasn’t a fool, but he did tend to act impulsively sometimes.
His mind was sharp, though; once he calmed down to think, he could immediately tell.
"The Blood Beads, there’s a daily limit, so you cut yourself daily to store..." He glanced at the red ring, feeling as if he was in a dream, "inside this ring?"
During the day, he thought he was dead, and that’s why he saw all those miraculous scenes.
