Chapter 5: Strange Compliments

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“She’s so pretty, so pretty! It looks like… the little white cat in my aunt’s yard!”

The muscular girl scratched her head as if she could not think of any good adjectives, so she brought out the most beautiful creature she had ever seen in her life, ‘My aunt’s little white cat’!

Yun Chunuan was speechless.

Even though the girl was praising her, Yun Chunuan still stared at her with a guarded expression. Moreover, those compliments were not really compliments.

“Is there something wrong?”

“Wow! Your voice is so nice too! It’s like… It’s like the lark that my second mother raised at home!”

Yun Chunuan stared at the girl.

How many mothers do you have? Why does every mother have a pet?

She really did not like this strange girl and her compliments.

However… the food in her hands made Yun Chunuan drool uncontrollably. It was obviously the simplest porridge and eggs. Every time her mother made it for her, she would stay in bed, refusing to eat.

Thinking of her mother, Yun Chunuan’s eyes turned red again.

The strong girl saw that her eyes were red like a frightened little rabbit and instantly panicked. “Don’t cry! Did I scare you? I just… I have never seen such a beautiful little girl!”

She pushed the rice porridge and eggs forward. “This is the plain porridge that the general asked me to make for you! He also asked me to boil the eggs, which are very precious! Eat It quickly, don’t cry, ah!”

Yun Chunuan bit her lips, hesitating whether she should eat it or not.

Eat It, what if it was poisonous?

If she did not eat it, she would starve to death soon…

Perhaps the girl’s attitude was very friendly. Between poisoning and starving to death, Yun Chunuan finally chose… to eat!

She took the bowl of rice porridge and peeled the egg. She did not care about her image at all and wolfed it down.

When she raised her head again, she saw a tall figure standing at the door. She did not know how long he had been standing there.

He seemed to be smiling. That fiery gaze allowed Yun Chunuan to identify who it was in a second.

She nervously put down the bowl and retreated to the corner of the bed. When she looked over again, the shadow outside the door had disappeared.

“Miss, Miss… do you still want these eggshells?”

Yun Chunuan was looking outside the door when she was attracted back by the timid voice.

The girl with a dark red face was holding the eggshell that she had just peeled to the edge of the bed. She looked at her with pleading eyes.

Yun Chunuan shook her head. She thought that this girl was going to take away the trash.

However, she took the eggshell and put it into her mouth. She chewed off the egg white that was attached to the shell, bit by bit, as if she was going to eat the egg shell as well.

Yun Chunuan was stunned.

She did not understand the situation in the Liao kingdom and did not know how precious the eggs were.

After the girl finished eating, she wiped her mouth with her sleeve, with a shy expression, she said, “I saw that you were too wasteful and definitely not greedy! Girl… Ah, no! Princess! The general asked me to serve you. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me!”

Originally, Qiao’er was quite unhappy to have her serve a person from the Central Plains. Who knew that this girl looked like a fairy, fragrant and soft. Just looking at her made people happy!

Most importantly, she would have eggs to eat with her! It was so delicious! It was her first time eating it since she was a child!

After Qiao’er finished speaking, she left with her bowl in her hand. Her cheerful back almost made Yun Chunuan doubt her life…

Was the eggshell really that delicious?

As soon as Qiao’er returned to her room, she was surrounded by a few burly little girls.

“What do the people of the Central Plains look like? Are they good-looking?”

“What do they look good for? I heard they look like bean sprouts!”

“Qiao’er will be in trouble in the future. I heard that the princess of the Central Plains likes to beat people up…”

They surrounded Qiao’er and chattered.

Qiao’er smiled mysteriously and said happily, “Then you’re wrong! That girl looks great! She’s so fair! She’s as fair as my aunt’s little white cat! Her voice is sweet too! She’s as sweet as my second mother’s lark!”

“Are you bluffing? My mother said that the people of the Central Plains are like bean sprouts. They are so dry and thin that I can kill two with one punch!”

“Don’t you believe it! She will wake up tomorrow. Go and see for yourself!”
