Chapter 160 - 123: She, a Time Traveler... (Part 3)
"Dare you?!"
"Watch me if I dare or not!" Yun Chunnuan glared at him indignantly, her small hand poking his chest, "You’re not single anymore! You have a wife now! In the future, you may have children. For my sake, no matter what happens, you must ensure your own survival first, understand?
If you go to the battlefield, I will give you the Blood Beads to carry. Apply them immediately to any wound, got it!"
Seeing the man still wanted to speak, Yun Chunnuan continued, "I know you’re worried about me having to cut my finger every day, but it doesn’t hurt! Besides, this thing is indispensable, there are so many places where it’s needed. Don’t you want your Bianliao army to never lack food again?
Come, let me show you something nice!"
Yun Chunnuan jumped down from the man’s embrace, just about to run barefoot, only to be scooped back by his long arms into a princess carry, held horizontally in his arms.
He even jostled her lightly, "Too light, really can’t blame me. You say you’re not that young anymore, in the Central Plains you could be a mother, yet your body is still like a little child."
Yun Chunnuan’s pretty face flushed, knowing this rascal was thinking about the day’s matters again.
Why did she insist on waiting until after she turned eighteen? It’s not as if she was falsely modest or stubborn.
After all, this is ancient times, unlike modern times.
But...
Hasn’t she seen her own body?
Too immature!
This year, I must nurture it to be sturdier!
Her soft little hand slapped his chest, as she pointed at the wooden box, and said, "Stop spouting nonsense! Go there, I’ll show you something good."
The Barbarian General obediently stole a kiss from her little lips, then carried his sweet girl to the wooden box with strange items inside.
"Are these the fruits from those two small flowers mother had?"
"Yeah! This thing is called a potato, super, super delicious, can be made into various dishes; it’s my favorite vegetable, no competition! The key is, it’s very filling, and stores for a very long time!
If planted on a large scale in the future, in case of war, it can be sent in large quantities to your military camp, so you won’t have to worry about losing battles due to food shortages anymore!"
The little darling in his arms, her eyes sparkling.
She said, "Our people of Bianliao are so good, we must not let anyone bully us! Next time if any country dares to bully us, hit back hard!
Don’t worry, I will do my utmost to help the people of Bianliao become wealthy and prosperous, becoming the strongest country on the whole continent, not impossible!"
Yun Chunnuan imagined many futures, but no matter what she envisioned, her future always included one person.
This man who cherishes her with all his heart.
Because of him, she would treat Bianliao as home, and its people as her own family.
"Of course, it would be better if it remained peaceful, but I always feel that the Regent King of Great Xia is not simple, sending the Little Princess to marry must have other purposes.
So we must prepare early, just in case!"
Yelyu Lie, holding the tiny person in his arms, was increasingly amazed by her words.
"If... Great Xia and Bianliao were to conflict, would you stand by Bianliao?"
Yun Chunnuan nodded as a matter of course, "Of course! You’re my husband! Bianliao is my home. Should I protect others instead of my own husband and home?"
Yelyu Lie found himself unable to understand her.
He wanted to believe her words, but as a warrior sworn to protect his country, Yelyu Lie couldn’t comprehend this statement.
"What about Great Xia? Doesn’t it have your parents, your people?"
Yun Chunnuan paused, raising her eyes to see the seriousness in the man’s gaze, a seriousness she had never seen before.
Would he see her as someone betraying her country at this moment?
"Are you doubting me again?" Yun Chunnuan felt a bit wronged, clearly, everything she said, everything she wanted to do, was for the good of Bianliao, yet he...
"No." Yelyu Lie shook his head decisively, "I believe everything you say. But Nuannuan, you don’t have to take care of Bianliao against your heart for me.
It’s true that husband and wife are one, but a country, a country needs a nation to have a home. Even if you hold Great Xia in your heart, I will not blame you. For us, let’s only talk about our home, not wars, not nations, alright?
In your heart, even if you forever see yourself as a Princess of Great Xia, I will have no complaints."
His earnest words once again left Yun Chunnuan in awe of this man.
He is a man of great righteousness and love, a man of integrity.
In his eyes, he probably misunderstood, thinking she was pleasing him by abandoning Great Xia, right?
Yun Chunnuan wrapped her arms around his neck, deciding to reveal everything about herself to him in this moment.
Including that she traveled here from a future many years ahead from now...
