Chapter 1: A Man as Strong as a Bear!

Booming thunder——

Amidst flashing lightning and thunder, the sky seemed to tear apart, and raindrops as big as beans poured down crazily, making ding-dong sounds as they hit an abandoned temple.

Beneath the spiderweb-covered Buddha statue, there was a pile of straw emitting a decaying odor.

The straw quivered and emitted barely audible sobbing sounds.

A girl dressed in a bright red bellyband, her tiny face full of tears and blood stains, muttered, "Murder... I committed murder..."

In the darkness, Yun Chunnuan's voice abruptly stopped.

Through the straw, she vaguely saw an enormously large silhouette appearing at the temple's entrance.

Her eyes, filled with mist, widened more and more, like a startled little deer.

Is it, is it a bear? In this desolate wilderness...

Pale lips trembled, and Yun Chunnuan quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound.

'Thud, thud, thud——'

The 'bear' barged into the broken temple, its footsteps making heavy sounds.

Yun Chunnuan held her breath and tightly closed her eyes, hoping that she wouldn't be discovered this way.

But she couldn't control her trembling body...

The thudding sounds grew closer, and Yun Chunnuan shook even more violently. Holding a blood-stained hairpin, she fiercely stabbed as the straw was brushed aside!

'Hiss——'

A painful cry came, and Yun Chunnuan's tear-filled eyes suddenly opened, realizing... it was a person!

A man!

A man as strong as a bear!

Instead of feeling relieved, her fear intensified. She grabbed the straw in front of her and hurled it at the man, taking the chance to sprint away amidst the flying straw.

Her bare little feet stepped on a stone on the ground.

"Ah!"

She cried out in pain, instinctively letting out a cry of surprise. Just as she was about to have a close encounter with the ground, her delicate bare back, tied only with two red strings, suddenly crashed into a solid wall of flesh.

Even from a single syllable, Yelv Lie could discern the unique soft and sweet voice of a woman from Great Xia.

Raising his thick eyebrows slightly, his coarse fingers adhered closely to the girl's delicate and silky skin, soft like tofu, somewhat addictive. He rubbed it fondly.

"Great Xia's Seventh Princess, huh?"

Originally, he was quite disdainful of the marriage alliance, but glancing down at the petite figure in his arms, his sharp eyes, like that of a falcon, gradually ignited with blazing flames.

Her black hair and red lips, skin whiter than snow, her fair little face stained with blood, those slightly arched phoenix eyes widened, filled with mist, exuding a blend of purity and charm, strongly stimulating his visual senses.

Yelv Lie's stubbly Adam's apple rolled up and down, and when the young lady once again raised the hairpin to stab at him, he swiftly seized her wrist.

The corners of his lips curved upward, as he chuckled, "Still a fierce little fox."

The girl's wrist was so slender, it seemed it could break easily, yet was firmly gripped by Yelv Lie, causing her brow to furrow in pain.

Yet stubbornly, she bit her teeth tightly to stop herself from crying out in pain again.

Clearly, her eyes were filled with fear, tears flowed uncontrollably, but she stubbornly glared at the man, "You know I'm the Seventh Princess of Great Xia, but you still dare to disrespect me? Let me tell you! My Prince Consort is your Bianliao's Mighty General! If you dare to show me any disrespect, he'll chop off your head! Skin you alive, grind your bones to dust!"

Yun Chunnuan tried hard to sound fierce, leveraging her allegedly absent and unseen General Prince Consort.

Her words hadn't yet faded, when the man whose face couldn't be clearly seen, burst into loud laughter, "Coincidentally, I am indeed Bianliao Country's Mighty General, Yelv Lie."
