In the Barbarian General's eyes, Yun Chunnuan only saw the words 'no good intentions'!
Pah!
Can't he just act like a normal person?
She pouted, just about to speak.
But the Barbarian General's large hand lifted and mussed her hair.
"What kind of obscene thoughts are you hiding in that little head of yours? This General is an upright man! No wanton acts during the day."
Yun Chunnuan: "?"
Her porcelain-white face instantly turned bright red, and she slapped away the man's big hand, "You're the obscene one! You're clearly the one with no good intentions! Seeing beauty and acting on it! What do you mean by saying you want to bathe the little White Wolf, what am I supposed to wash?"
Yun Chunnuan was not convinced!
This rascal's head is full of filthy thoughts, yet he slanders her! Throwing dirty water on her!
Yelv Lie blinked, his face full of innocence, "Bianliao is short on water, is the Princess not aware? Even people only bathe once a month, let alone a little beast."
Yun Chunnuan: "..."
Damn!
She just arrived in Bianliao and hasn't even set foot outside. How would she know about the water shortage in Bianliao!
Isn't she being played by the Barbarian General?
Yun Chunnuan angrily glared at the tall, sturdy man in front of her, seeing his lips curve up with an irrepressible smile.
Bright and warm.
Honestly, he was as dazzling as the sun, able to easily catch people's eyes wherever he went.
Unlike the male leads in the time travel novels she had read, who were dark, cold, and each with a tragic backstory, leading to twisted personalities.
He, on the other hand, was full of sunshine, unaffected by any shadow.
Seeing him smile would somehow lift your spirits.
Alright then, considering she had angered him this morning, let's let him be happy for a while!
"So, you agree to let me adopt the little White Wolf?"
The Little Princess looked at him with anticipation.
The bright vermilion mole beneath her eye gleamed, her eyes full of desire.
How could Yelv Lie bear to refuse her?
His gaze fell on the little White Wolf.
Its eyes were exactly the same as hers.
Yelv Lie helplessly sighed, "The White Wolf's bloodline is tainted, are you not disdainful?"
"Tainted bloodline?" Yun Chunnuan was puzzled.
"You people from the Central Plains highly revere dragons, right?" Seeing the Little Princess confused, Yelv Lie rephrased his explanation, "If a dragon and a wolf had a child, wouldn't the dragon and wolf's bloodlines be tainted?"
This question, Yun Chunnuan could answer.
"Isn't that a Shen? In our area, it's a kind of Divine Beast! The image of a Shen is used on weapons to add a sense of deterrence, how could it be tainted?"
"Shen?" Yelv Lie had never heard of it, "A tainted bloodline can still be a Divine Beast?"
This question, Yun Chunnuan could answer too.
"Of course! Haven't you heard of the saying about dragons having nine sons, each different? It means that dragons, as Divine Beasts, are inherently lustful. The nine sons are born with different animals, but each is extraordinary!"
The Little Princess's words surprised Yelv Lie.
In Bianliao Country, wolves are sacred; once the bloodline is tainted, it means defilement.
The people of Bianliao believe that defilement brings misfortune and will quickly seek to eliminate any wolf clan offspring tainted by other species.
The White Wolf is rumored to be the offspring of a White Fox and a Gray Wolf.
This was the first time someone told him that a tainted bloodline wasn't dirty...
For some reason, Yelv Lie's eyes dimmed slightly.
But in front of him was a ray of sunlight.
Looking at the bright Little Princess as radiant as the sun, Yelv Lie's lips curved, his eyes seeming to hold something different.
"If you don't mind, then keep it."
"Really?!" Yun Chunnuan's eyes sparkled brighter, "I don't mind, I don't mind! Thank you! I will definitely educate it well, it won't cause trouble!"
"If it causes trouble, it's okay, I've got your back."
He just loved seeing her smile, especially when it was directed at him.
It seemed like it wouldn't be overboard to present all the world's beauty before her.
Seeing her porcelain-white face slowly turn red again, her eyes in a fluster not knowing where to look, Yelv Lie chuckled, his heart sweeter than honey.
To think just yesterday, she was wielding a broken hairpin, as if ready to take his life if he got too close.
Now, although she hadn't responded to him, at least she wasn't resisting any longer.
Good sign.
Yelv Lie no longer troubled the Little Princess, flicked the little White Wolf's head, and as it was about to howl in pain, a single glance shut it up.
The wolf in a lowly position must bow!
The little White Wolf glared angrily at the tall man before burrowing into Yun Chunnuan's embrace.
"Oh ho! This little thing is quite clever, knows how to annoy me?"
Finally redirected to a topic she didn't know how to respond to, Yun Chunnuan quickly said, "Yes! Really clever, it can even understand me! Let me show you!"
Yun Chunnuan placed the little White Wolf on the table, patted its head, and using the method for training dogs, said to it, "Shake paw!"
Little White Wolf: "..."
Oh dear, did it find the wrong owner?
So childish...
"Shake paw, hurry and show the Barbarian... General Yelv a trick!"
The young girl urged, and the little White Wolf reluctantly handed over its paw, wrapped like a dumpling, to her.
Yun Chunnuan was a bit excited, patting her shoulder, "Hug! My Big Yellow loves to hug me!"
"Awoo!"
This little White Wolf was quite willing! It even glanced at the tall man with a proud look, and the next second, it was leaping into Yun Chunnuan's arms.
In the afternoon sunlight, streaming warmly through the window gaps, it softly graced the girl's bright and pretty face.
She was so beautiful, it seemed even the light favored her.
Her pale, almost translucent skin, bathed in a faint glow, as she embraced the little creature in her arms, her smile was sweet and warm, giving Yelv Lie a feeling of peace in such times.
Nuannuan, it was a good name, nothing could suit her better.
"Do you like wolves that much? Want to take a trip to the grasslands?"
"Really?!"
Yun Chunnuan hadn't expected the Barbarian General to trust her so quickly, willing to take her to places outside the General Mansion.
If she wanted to escape, she couldn't act rashly. She had to first observe the terrain, plan the route, and then execute the plan!
Pumped up!
That's the happy decision!
