Chapter 229: White Lotus VS Princess Syndrome

“So you’re that concubine that I’ve heard so much about?” Su Yun wasn’t as knowledgeable about concubines of the olden days as Bai Xiangxiu. She thought that a concubine was no different than a modern world’s mistress, so her voice was naturally filled with contempt.

“Mm,” Bai Xiangxiu answered with her head down, almost like she was shy.

Su Yun furrowed her brows. Is this really a woman who had her soul transmigrate over? “Why are you blushing?” Su Yun couldn’t help but ask.

However, the other person only seemed to instinctively touch her cheeks and asked in a confused manner, “Am I really blushing?”

Su Yun replied, “Why do you know how to manufacture gunpowder?”

“I’ve read about it in some books.”

“Books? You’re telling me that you’ve learned it from books?”

“Yes.”

“But the ratio…”

“Ratio? What’s a ratio?”

“I can’t communicate with you. How did you know how much of each ingredient you needed to use?”

“It’s all written in the book?” Bai Xiangxiu decided to follow through with her act to the end. There was no way Su Yun could recognize her since only her soul had transmigrated to this world. Moreover, she hadn’t done nothing out of the ordinary up to this point, so she wasn’t too worried that Su Yun would realize who she really was.

“What kind of book is it? Can I have a look?”

“Woman. Don’t overstep your boundaries,” Long Heng snapped. He didn’t want her to continue questioning Bai Xiangxiu. “Why don’t you stay a few days since you’ve already come? Stop thinking about unrelated things.”

“Does General Long really not need my assistance? What if I tell you a way to take down their main army camp?” He will definitely agree. After all, isn’t he here to do just that? Once he agrees to my help, I’ll be able to find a foothold here. If this concubine really was a woman from the olden times, Su Yan wanted to see if she could get a thrill from stealing that concubine’s man right out of the lady’s arms.

“I, Long Heng, do not need your help, nor do I see them as a worthy enemy.” He turned around and left, one hand pulling Bai Xiangxiu along. He couldn’t help but frown. He’d seen all kinds of women, but he’d never seen one as bold and arrogant as her. It wouldn’t be much of a loss even if he didn’t receive her help. After making some arrangements for Bai Xiangxiu, he turned his attention back to trying to take down the enemy. However, he had to first make suitable preparations to deal with the enemy’s poison and parasites. Long Heng was actually quite experienced in dealing with both of these. He wasn’t too skilled in them, but he had some subordinates who were. Many of those subordinates were from Shu County. The army easily came up with many countermeasures with the help of the Shu County citizens that Ah Quan had brought over to help.

Bai Xiangxiu had decided not to leave her tent as she had no interest in dealing with Su Yun at all. Everything would be fine as long as her husband ignored that woman. It’d be even better if she kept herself out of sight so that Su Yun wouldn’t cause problems for her. Bai Xiangxiu could tell that Su Yun’s princess syndrome had flared up again just from the look in her eyes. Su Yun’s thoughts always became extremely twisted whenever she saw a man that she liked but the man didn’t return her feelings.

What a classic case of princess syndrome. Bai Xiangxiu thought to herself as she tidied Long Heng’s tent. Men are men after all. They’re all the same, whether from the olden times or from modern times. Their rooms are always a mess if nobody picks up after them. Aren’t they afraid that they might trip on the things laying around on the floor or something?
