Chapter 191 - 136: How Am I Worthy of Meeting You
Outside, just as his voice fell, the sound of the bell ringer’s gong echoed.
Yun Chunnuan curved her lips into a smile, actually wanting to tell this man that age follows the birthday; this body of hers wouldn’t be a year older for another five months.
But, this is ancient times, and passing the New Year means advancing a year.
She planted a kiss on the man’s lips, "Happy New Year, my husband. Will we be together like this every year from now on?"
At these words, Yelyu Lie suddenly found himself unable to respond.
Things like war, no one can control.
Back then, he was often on the battlefield, sometimes unable to return for two or three years.
It’s just that in the past two years, Bianliao has gradually grown stronger, and with fewer tensions in war, he has had the opportunity to come back.
His little beloved seemed to know his concerns, softly comforting him, "I know there may be wars, but beyond that, you must accompany me, guard me, be with me year after year, okay?"
"Hmm."
"Let’s make a pinky promise."
She extended her small hand.
He willingly indulged in her childishness, extending his large hand to gently hook her slender, jade-like hand, sealing it with a stamp.
Yun Chunnuan smiled sweetly, while the man held her little hand reverently with both hands.
As she was bewildered, his large hand traveled along with hers, massaging to her shoulder.
His hand was truly large.
Gripping her sore and soft arm, it was incredibly comfortable, even better than modern-day massage therapists.
Yun Chunnuan felt so comfortable that she closed her eyes, a touch of happiness spreading in her smile.
The man’s large hand paused, the act of swallowing saliva so obvious in the silent midnight.
Yun Chunnuan bit her lip, curved her lips into a smile, yet still didn’t open her eyes.
Unknowingly, she fell asleep amidst the massage of those large hands.
As her plump lips gently exhaled an orchid-like fragrance, Yelyu Lie sighed heavily.
He watched the face that endlessly captivated and bewitched him, etched deep into his bones...
Gently, slowly, he lifted the small hand resting by her side.
On his right hand, the circle of red on his index finger had faded a bit.
But thinking of its function only made his heart feel blocked and uncomfortable.
Yelyu Lie quietly, quietly, attempting to make no noise, walked barefoot to the door, holding his shoes.
After stealthily opening the door, he set the shoes outside, put them on, then gently closed the door.
He carried an oil lamp and headed directly to the western side chamber.
Jifeng sensed someone approaching and was about to roar, but upon sensing its master’s presence, it only let out a soft whimper instead of a growl.
In its embrace, a pure black wolf cub was sleeping soundly.
Black, the noblest color among the Wolf Clan, symbolized by the revered Bianliao people.
But none of this mattered to Yelyu Lie.
He simply watched the wolf cub grow rapidly in just one day, unable to hold back his anxious frustration.
"Jifeng, how about having another litter?"
Yelyu Lie wanted to test whether Blood Beads could truly make fetuses grow quickly.
Jifeng: "?"
It tilted its head.
If it understood the meaning behind its master’s words, it would probably have cursed.
Yelyu Lie clicked his tongue, "You’re just a wolf, that’s not possible."
He pursed his lips, showing an expression of disagreement.
Jifeng: "..."
It felt like its master was unwell.
In the middle of the night, not only asking it to give birth again, but also saying it was incapable!
It is capable!
Very capable, okay?!
That Central Plains woman even praised it today!
It, Jifeng, is the greatest mother!
Humph!
Jifeng snorted arrogantly and lay on the ground, no longer bothering with him.
Meanwhile, Yelyu Lie was so tormented at heart that he couldn’t sleep.
He had always been the kind to consider three steps ahead for every step taken; now knowing the effects of his wife’s Blood Beads, he was increasingly worried about the possibility she mentioned.
Women require ten months to bear a child...
If the fetus grows too quickly, what consequences might it bring her, unknown.
Just thinking about what she mentioned about some shadow and some heroine dying because of the rapid growth of the fetus made him feel cold from the feet upwards.
He could do without children for this lifetime.
Yelyu Lie had never thought that one day he would meet the woman he loved and then have a cute baby.
His life was solely dedicated to defending Bianliao, that was his mission.
Therefore, children could be done without; he would rather spend his life being called incapable than tolerate any chance of losing her!
Suddenly, Yelyu Lie thought of someone.
In the middle of the night, alone, he carried an oil lamp and went to the nearby South Courtyard.
Inside, a strange noise suddenly emerged.
His footsteps suddenly halted...
