Chapter 296, go to sleep obediently, your husband will be back soon.

Chapter 296: 296, go to sleep obediently, your husband will be back soon.

Yelu Yan, with a flushed face, let out a stifled grunt, withdrew, and lifted the bed curtain as he walked out.

Li Xianyun’s throat was dry, her breath heaving, her delicate face flushed as she reached for the quilt to cover her thoroughly baptized body.

After cleaning himself up, Yelu Yan lifted the curtain to re-enter and saw Li Xianyun obediently and softly lying flat on the bed, her eyes wide open, looking at him with a pair of clear, lively eyes. Her disheveled black hair was spread over the soft pillow, making her jade-like skin look even whiter and more delicate.

"Husband, you really don’t have to do that; I drink the Contraceptive Soup occasionally, it’s fine."

She had heard every sound outside the curtain very clearly just now.

As a physician, Li Xianyun knew that drinking the Contraceptive Soup would be harmful to her health, but sometimes when passion overwhelmed control, indulgence was necessary to ease a certain longing.

Yelu Yan lifted the quilt and lay down with her, enclosing her smooth body in his arms, gently brushing her damp hair away from her forehead, and kissing her soft little face, "The Contraceptive Soup is bad for your health."

"But you always do this, and that is also not good for your health."

Though Yelu Yan transformed Li Xianyun from girl to woman, talking about intimate matters still made her bashful, her face growing even hotter.

Yelu Yan pinched her smooth chin gently, making her look at him, and put on a serious front, "How do you know about these things?"

Li Xianyun turned her head away from his grip, "I’m a physician; needless to say, I would know such things."

Yelu Yan chuckled, "Your husband is vigorous and healthy; it’s fine."

Li Xianyun gave him a sideways glance, then lay there in silence.

Yelu Yan adjusted her hair, "Tired?"

Li Xianyun regarded him, her red lips slightly parting, exhaling a fragrant breath, "Annoying."

She thought about who had tormented her to the brink and was now pretending to be concerned about her.

Unable to restrain himself, Yelu Yan chuckled, "You rest for a while, I’ll have the maid prepare some hot water for you."

"Mm."

Seeing her obedient appearance, Yelu Yan didn’t feel like leaving anymore, he cuddled up to her, gently rubbing his handsome cheek against her head.

"Husband, you should go," Li Xianyun said softly.

Yelu Yan rubbed against her with eyes closed, "But your husband doesn’t want to go at all."

He only wanted to be with his woman, and he now finally understood the sentiment of "the dawn after a short spring night arises high, for the king henceforth holds no early court."

Li Xianyun sighed softly. Were all men in this world so clingy?

"Husband, I want to bathe now; I feel a bit sticky and uncomfortable."

At her words, Yelu Yan could only kiss her little face a few times before getting up, hanging the curtain back up, and picking up the clothes from the bed to dress.

Li Xianyun lay on her side, watching him dress.

Yelu Yan was handsome and looked ascetic yet dignified while dressing, a pleasant sight.

Once Yelu Yan was dressed, his gaze was caught by a pair of watery eyes, the corners of his mouth visibly rising.

"Looking at what?"

Li Xianyun’s gaze shifted to the side, "Looking at nothing."

"Your husband is leaving now."

"Mm."

Yelu Yan cleaned the stains he left on the floor, opened the window to let the air in, then placed a kiss on Li Xianyun’s forehead, dressed in her clothes, "Sleep well, your husband will be back soon."

"Mm."

Yelu Yan pinched her soft cheek before leaving the inner chamber, satisfied.

Li Xianyun, dressed, sat at the desk to draw.

Seeing the villagers use buckets to water their plants was indeed time-consuming and laborious; actually, they could build water-lifting devices like water wheels and pumps to draw water from rivers or lakes into the fields.

Li Xianyun was glad she had an interest in machinery, studying not only weapons but also the tools used by farmers.

In the countryside, Li Xianyun had seen water wheels and pumps and thought their design was quite ingenious. After some time studying them, she even made several models.

Since arriving in Khitan, Li Xianyun truly realized that any knowledge you acquire could benefit you one day in the future.

And now was the time for her to enjoy these rewards.

Li Xianyun spread out the rice paper and started drawing with a brush, outlining the water wheel bit by bit. Once the drawing of the water wheel was complete, she added the name, construction method, and usage in Khitan script next to it.

By the time the drawing of the water wheel was finished, the hot water was ready, so she went to bathe.

After returning, she wiped her hair to a semi-dry state and continued her drawing.
