Chapter 145: It’s Too Cruel

“No, that’s not… nothing happened.” Bai Yunxian snapped back to reality as he turned away his face from Yun Shu, not daring to look at her eyes.

’Sure enough, something did happen after all. I was also thinking that everything has been going so smoothly for some time now. Especially when I entered such a dog- blood game plot. Perhaps I’ve been showing much too interest and broke his sense of privacy, that’s why he is feeling uneasy?’

Yun Shu pondered as she went through the series of events that happened in the last few weeks, because she was a overpowered character with attitude, everything seemed too easy for her without any formidable opponent.

What’s more, it was clear that the system has been working in her favor, which increased her powers drastically to swipe the entire main plot under the rug easily, Yun Shu hasn’t been able to unleash her full potential.

Even so, the tiny bit of power she released surely made others astonished and feel in awe, that may have affected Bai Yunxian as well.

’Is he suffering from an inferiority complex or something? Why does he look so meek?’

Looks like I have to change the tactics…

As Yun Shu thought, she released Bai Yunxian from kabedoning, standing straight in front of him.

“Do you think you can do the task well?” Yun Shu asked as she had a serious expression on her face.

“…!!”

“I, I can do it!” Bai Yunxian was astonished, but he responded quickly with eyes showing a firm determination.

“Good, you should be like this.” Yun Shu patted on Bai Yunxian’s head as she smiled.

“And if you feel bad or need something, just tell me directly, don’t avoid the problem.” Yun Shu said as she looked at Bai Yunxian who seemed to be surprised to hear that Yun Shu noticed his emotions that he didn’t show to others, then she was gone again to do her work, leaving the guy behind.

And now, back to the present, Yun Shu observed his expression for a moment before she spoke up, “Is it also related to the future you speak of that you saw?”

“…!! Yes, I, it’s like this… I’m really telling the truth!” Bai Yunxian was worked up as he jumped up and sat on his knees, leaning close to Yun Shu in excitement.

“It’s… I-I saw that you, you got injured badly during this war, and, and…” Bai Yunxian seemed to be in doubt on whether to tell her or not.

However, this expression and that troubled face, for Yun Shu, was something truly adorable.

She already knew the gist of what he wanted to say, since she knew about the plot. Even so, having him worry for her like this didn’t feel so bad…

“And?” Yun Shu’s voice was gentle as she tugged his hair behind his ears, asking him to talk slowly.

“…”, Bai Yunxian seemed to feel bad as he was silent, his eyes drooping down like an abandoned cat, biting his lips in frustration.

’How can I say this to his face that it would be his comrades that will betray him and leave him behind, alone in the battlefield? It’s too cruel…’

But more than that, if I don’t tell him now, then this might really happen.

No, gather your thoughts together, Bai Yunxian. You have to help him get through this war safely no matter what!

It’s not like you can ever repay what he did for you in this life…

That’s right, I need to tell him everything and warn him to be careful! This is the least bit of what I can do for him!

“My Lord—!” Bai Yunxian reached a certain determination as he looked motivated, he was about to say that to Yun Shu when she covered his mouth with her fingers.

“What are you doing?”

“???”

Bai Yunxian didn’t understand, which seemed to make Yun Shu upset.

“I told you not to call me Lord again. What should you call me?”

What?

Is that really the important thing right now?

Bai Yunxian didn’t understand why, but the sad look on Yun Shu’s face seemed to affect him as well.

Ugh!

This is too troublesome!

How am I supposed to face him like this?!

Bai Yunxian wanted to avoid calling her that, but those puppy eyes wouldn’t let him rest at all!

“…”

“What did you say?” Yun Shu provoked the guy intentionally seeing how he mumbled under his breath.

No matter what…

It felt really good to tease him!

“Hus…”

“Huh? I didn’t hear it, could you say it a little loudly?” Yun Shu asked him again as she looked at the red face that drooped down, not daring to look up.

“HUSBAND!!!”

This time, Bai Yunxian was annoyed by her continuous teasing that he couldn’t hold it in anymore and screamed out loudly.

In an instant, the entire area went silent.

Even Yun Shu didn’t see such an outburst coming, it seems like everyone outside also heard his scream.

“Ahem!”

After hearing the coughing sound from Yun Shu, the entire area started buzzing with crowds more than usual, but it was already too late as Bai Yunxian also realized by now what he did.

’They heard me!’

’They definitely heard me!!!’

It’s so shameful!

I want to die!!!

Bai Yunxian wanted to hide himself in a cave, but sadly there was none. So he just crawled into Yun Shu’s clothes and hid himself in it.

Pfft…!

Yun Shu wanted to restrain her laughter, but she was too late in it… because he was too cute!

“Hnng! Don’t make fun of me!” Bai Yunxian pouted as he looked at Yun Shu pitifully, peeking out of her clothes.

“Haha, sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to make fun of you. It’s because my wife is so cute that I can’t hold myself back.” Yun Shu didn’t hesitate to say the truth as she picked up the little stray cat and put him on her lap.
