The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 436 - 300: A Long Night, Many Dreams

It’s not easy to get into this room.

As soon as the two of them walked in, Yun Chunnuan hurriedly grabbed Shen Ruosui, "Grandmaster, that peach blossom..."

Shen Ruosui made a shushing gesture at her and pointed to the white-haired man lying motionless on the couch.

Yun Chunnuan nodded and walked to the couch, "Uncle Emperor, how are you?"

She gently inquired, still looking genuinely concerned.

It was all about putting on a complete act.

Who knew, a slap came with a speed as fast as lightning, landing harshly on that pale, bloodless face.

A distinct five-finger mark appeared instantly.

Yun Chunnuan was stunned, "Grandmaster... does your hand hurt?"

What is this bizarre move?

Not acting anymore?

"It doesn’t hurt, it feels great, you should try it too."

Yun Chunnuan looked puzzled, and as she was still confused, Shen Ruosui took her hand and struck it on the other side of the white-haired man’s face.

This time, the five-finger mark on the left wasn’t as clear, but the fair cheek still reddened.

"Grandmaster... this..."

Shen Ruosui winked at her and then mouthed, "Ran away! The Peach Tree Demon ran away!"

It was only then that Yun Chunnuan realized that the grandmaster was probably trying to force the Peach Blossom Demon to show up.

Unfortunately, after two slaps, there was no movement, and Ying Ce on the couch still kept his eyes closed.

Shen Ruosui, still frustrated, slapped him twice more, even urging Yun Chunnuan to hit him too.

Yun Chunnuan glanced at the folding fan in Shen Ruosui’s hand but, in the end, didn’t make a move.

"Coward!" Shen Ruosui ground her teeth in anger, "Alright then."

"Grandmaster, do you know how to use it?"

"Nonsense!"

Nobody knew what had happened to the grandmaster from yesterday to today; her anger was like a tinder ready to catch fire.

Yun Chunnuan stopped asking and, in a hurry, took out the pill sewn into her sleeve.

She pried open Ying Ce’s mouth and personally fed him the pill.

Fearing he might spit it out like she did, Yun Chunnuan sent the pill directly to his throat.

Shen Ruosui, still worried he wouldn’t swallow it, blocked Ying Ce’s mouth and nose. His Adam’s apple moved, and the pill was finally swallowed.

At that moment, Yun Chunnuan had imagined it countless times.

He would never entangle her again; from now on, they would truly be on separate paths, with no more ties.

But when this moment truly arrived, it still felt so unreal.

The sound of a fan opening was heard, and Yun Chunnuan saw Shen Ruosui’s lips moving gently, seemingly saying something.

But she didn’t hear a single word.

From start to finish, Shen Ruosui’s eyes never left Ying Ce’s face.

Yun Chunnuan looked at the folding fan in her hand and noticed that the fan was painted with a peach tree, its shape remarkably similar to the Peach Blossom Demon in the Storage Ring Space.

The folding fan emitted a strange smell, indescribable as fragrant or peculiar, yet it was intoxicating, making one want to smell it more.

’Drip’

A sparkling bead of sweat rolled down and dripped onto the fan.

It was then that Yun Chunnuan noticed that Grandmaster’s once dark hair was turning white from the roots, visibly changing right before her eyes!

She couldn’t help but gasp, and when she tried to speak, no sound came out.

Long after, when the white hair extended to the tips, Shen Ruosui finally gasped for air, stopping.

"It’s over, Nuannuan, it’s all over. From now on, you’re free."

"But your hair..."

"It doesn’t matter, it actually looks quite nice. This lunatic did sacrifice a lot for you. It’s a pity, though, a scourge remains a scourge. If he had any humanity, it wouldn’t have come to this."

Shen Ruosui said, letting out a sigh.

Yun Chunnuan looked at the white-haired man on the couch. For a moment, she seemed to see his eyes open, two abyss-like pupils full of resentment, looking at her.

When Yun Chunnuan rubbed her eyes and looked again, his eyes were tightly closed, as if everything just now was an illusion.

"Grandmaster, did he just... wake up?"

"No, today he probably won’t wake up; he needs to digest."

"Then, what about the Peach Tree Demon? Did it run away?"

"Don’t worry about it. Get ready. Tonight, you can return to your world. Over there, the Peach Tree Demon was caught off guard by another me, and the whole peach forest was burned.

As for this side, I’ll keep an eye on it. You safely enter the time tunnel, and remember not to be distracted by any sounds. All you need to think about is going home. The stronger your belief, the greater the success rate of your return.

Otherwise, you only have two outcomes. Either you fall into the cracks of time or end up in an unknown time.

Another me and I have almost exhausted our energy. If you end up in a world without us, we might not be able to send you back.

So, rest up, eat something, and take a nap. We’ll..."

"Grandmaster, tomorrow night."

"Why?"

"I promised General Yelü that I would spend a day with him before leaving. He wants to take me to the grasslands, to see Jifeng, and wants this entire day to belong to him alone."

Shen Ruosui furrowed her brows, but ultimately said nothing, only instructing, "Stay close to him, don’t get separated for even a moment. That kid’s physique is different from others; he won’t be easily beguiled by spirits.

It’s just one day. Come back early, rest well, and then leave."

Seeing the Little Princess’s worried expression, about to speak again, Shen Ruosui added, "Once you’re gone, you don’t need to worry about the Peach Blossom Demon. I’ve got it under control. It’s a matter between me and it; you don’t need to be concerned."

She stretched out her hand, stroking the Little Princess’s smooth, long hair, "Meeting you has been a joy, and finally resolving this big problem too. The other me in the other world might soon also pass away.

Be happy, fiercely happy."

"Grandmaster..."

The girl in front of her still had that brilliant and radiant face, but her white hair made her look much more haggard.

Her hands are so warm, clearly looking like a young girl, but the desolation in her eyes seems like she’s witnessed all the vicissitudes of life.

Her words made Yun Chunnuan feel an unbearable pain in her heart.

"Will I be able to see you again in the future?"

"Silly girl, why see me? You better pray you never see me again in this life, then you’ll truly be happy.

I’ll be blessing you from another world. We both need to take care of ourselves.

Alright, stop crying. This lunatic will never disturb you again, and he will never appear in your world."

Shen Ruosui didn’t tell Yun Chunnuan one thing.

Even if this world is destroyed, she would drag this lunatic down with it, along with that damned demon!

Since making this decision, she has prepared to sacrifice herself at any moment.

This is also why she wants the Little Princess to leave as soon as possible.

After all, the longer you wait, the more things can happen.
