“I’ll do as I please. What’s a horse?” She avoided looking at his face,
Knowing she would go crazy and beat him up. “When I’m happy, I even dare to steal a Mercedes-Benz.”
“Mercedes-Benz? What kind of car is that? Does Yeyue Kingdom have it?” Hearing the modern term from Ling Zhou’s mouth, Yun Yihen earnestly learned the value of asking questions without shame.
“As if! It’s a car for the wealthy. A useless general like you doesn’t deserve to own a Mercedes-Benz!” Even on the smooth official road, the carriage was still bumpy, making her miss modern cars.
“Yeyue is one of the three great kingdoms. How can it not have the Mercedes-Benz you speak of?!” Upon hearing that Yeyue Kingdom didn’t have it, he argued forcefully.
“If it existed, I’d chop off my head for you to kick as a ball!” Experience proved that one should never mention modern things to ancient people, or one would risk going crazy.
“Ball? What’s that?” Yun Yihen looked bewildered by her sudden vocabulary, scratching his head and asking what a ball was.
“It’s round like a wheel, can be…” She looked at him impatiently, wondering why he had so many questions.
This glance was a mistake. Yun Yihen’s misty eyes locked onto her, his long fingers sliding through his dense hair. Despite the minor scratches on his face, these slight imperfections made him look like a character straight out of a manga. The electric current in his eyes sizzled into Ling Zhou’s body, instantly turning her cheeks red.
“Can be what?” Yun Yihen waited for her answer, seeming to understand something when he saw Ling Zhou’s flushed face.
“Can be eaten,” Ling Zhou didn’t want to explain modern inventions anymore, fearing she would go crazy.
“General, we’ve arrived at the entrance,” Shang Fa lifted the carriage curtain.
“Mm!”
Ling Zhou saw a red-walled, white-tiled gate about five meters high. The plaque bore the elegant characters “General’s Mansion” in flowing calligraphy. Standing before this gate, she felt an oppressive weight in her chest, as if entering meant she could never leave.
Before she could examine the magnificent…
ent gate, Yun Yihen had already carried her inside. Ling Zhou felt she was doomed.
