Chapter 709: Stench
Chapter 709: Stench
Nier and the princess looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
"Why is there no sound at all?" Ni'er asked in a low voice.
The princess shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
At this moment, Nier suddenly pointed to the side of the tent and whispered, "Look there."
The princess looked in the direction of Nier's finger, and sure enough, she found something in the corner of the tent, which looked like a piece of clothing.
The distance between the two was getting closer and closer, and Nier's heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
When she saw the whole picture, she couldn't help but widen her eyes. This... this seemed to be Lian Yi's clothes!
The man's body was covered only by a thin and tattered piece of cloth.
The cloth was badly damaged, covered with holes and stains of various sizes, and could only provide a little bit of concealment.
The areas that were not covered by the cloth were even more horrific.
The person lying there had skin of a grayish hue, covered in dust and dirt, and looked as if he had crawled out of a quagmire.
Her hair was a tangled mess, like a pile of weeds ravaged by the wind, scattered wantonly on her face, completely covering her features and making it impossible to see her true appearance.
The princess was still some distance away from her and took a deep breath, as if to cheer herself up.
Then, she walked towards the man step by step.
However, just as the princess approached, a disgusting stench suddenly hit her like a torrent.
The stench was extremely strong, as if it was a mixture of countless of the most disgusting smells. It rushed straight into the princess's nasal cavity, and then went all the way up to the top of her head.
The smell was so pungent that the princess' body trembled violently and she almost vomited on the spot.
Her stomach churned and a strong feeling of nausea came over her, making it almost unbearable.
The princess quickly covered her nose with her hands, trying desperately to stop the stench from invading her body.
Her face changed color instantly.
Originally, the princess wanted to use her hands to lift the hair covering her face to see who she was.
But now, faced with such a stench, the princess couldn't bring herself to do it.
It made her instinctively resist being touched.
She could only pick up a branch from the ground and slowly lift up the messy hair covering her face.
As the hair was slowly lifted up, a face as pale as paper and without any blood gradually appeared before the eyes.
The princess and Ni'er couldn't help but exclaim at the same time: "Oh my God, it's really Lian Yi!"
They stared in disbelief at the person before them who was so different from what they remembered.
Nier couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose with her hands, frowned and said, "Why is it so smelly!"
However, even though the odor emanating from Lian Yi was unbearable, out of her instinct as a doctor and her kindness, Nier gritted her teeth, reached out her hand, and took her pulse.
The moment Ni'er's fingers touched Lian Yi's wrist, Lian Yi suddenly pulled his hand back as if he was electrocuted.
She slowly opened her eyes, her gaze fell confusedly on Nier and the princess, and an indescribable emotion suddenly surged in her heart.
Lian Yi's voice was as hoarse as a bearing that hadn't been oiled for hundreds of years. "Are you... satisfied? Huh? Hahaha..."
The laughter was full of despair, pain and helplessness towards fate, and it sounded particularly harsh in this silent environment.
Lian Yi gave a miserable smile, and his lips covered with blood scabs were forcibly torn open.
The bloodstains that had dried up seemed to be reawakened at this moment, instantly moistening the lips again, forming a series of shocking bloodstains.
Back then, she was a majestic general, arrogant and domineering.
Wherever he went, people were respectful to him and bowed their heads in greeting.
However, now she has ended up like this, becoming a military prostitute despised by everyone.
No, not even as good as a military prostitute...
Lian Yi's gaze slowly turned to Ni'er, and he saw a hint of pity in her eyes.
This pity, like a sharp blade, pierced Lian Yi's heart and broke it into pieces.
"I, Lian Yi, worked so hard to become a general, just to be one step closer to General Li."
"All I did was to have someone I could rely on in this long life. But why, why did I end up like this?"
"I won't accept this! I don't need your pity, all of you get out of here!" Lian Yi suddenly roared.
"Are you satisfied with my joke? Why don't you get out of here right away?"
Seeing her like this, Ni'er felt there was no need for her to stay any longer.
Putting a bottle of medicine next to her, "This is contraceptive medicine."
"From the beginning to the end, I never had the slightest thought of wanting to laugh at you."
"You long for someone to rely on for the rest of your life, which is understandable. After all, who doesn't want a stable home in life?"
"However, the means you adopted are truly outrageous."
"How can you be so cruel as to use the lives of others to pave the way for your own selfish desires?"
"Never mind. There's no point in saying more. I'll leave this medicine here. It's up to you to take it or not."
When the princess saw Lian Yi's attitude, she couldn't help but feel angry. She felt that she had to argue with Lian Yi.
However, just as the princess was about to speak, Nier suddenly grabbed her hand, signaling her not to be impulsive, and pulled the princess away.
"I'm so angry! You took her pulse and gave her medicine, but not only did she not appreciate it, she even scolded you. How can this be justified?"
The princess said indignantly, "If we leave like this, wouldn't that be too easy for her? I must go back and give her a good scolding to make her realize her mistake!"
Nier quickly grabbed the princess and said, "Forget it. She's just a poor person. Now she's received the punishment she deserves and reaped the consequences of her own actions. Why should we provoke her again?"
Although the princess was still unwilling in her heart, after listening to Ni'er's words, she felt that there was some truth in them.
She sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, since you said so, I will listen to you and not cause trouble for her."
"It's just that when I was in the palace, I never cursed. I didn't expect that I have learned a little bit now."
"Just now I was thinking of showing off my swearing skills, but you stopped me."
As the princess spoke, she pouted and looked a little aggrieved.
Nier couldn't help but be amused when she saw the princess's appearance.
She laughed and said, "Hahaha, alright. Next time if we encounter a situation like this, I definitely won't stop you and will definitely let you curse me to your heart's content!"
