Chapter 388: Suhe

Inside the yurt.

Duan Yu sat in the wooden tub with his back to the yurt's entrance, his arms resting on the edge of the tub.

A thin layer of water mist hung over his granite-like muscle lines.

His strong latissimus dorsi muscles were filled with an explosive scent of male hormones.

The Xiongnu valued martial prowess.

And they revered those who were brave and martial.

Duan Yu's martial prowess was beyond doubt.

At first, the four Xiongnu maidens who knew their fate were a bit shy.

But when they saw Duan Yu clearly after he had removed his armor, the shyness in their eyes had turned into a kind of anticipation and longing.

The door of the yurt was pushed open from the outside.

Princess Suhe, in a snow-white long dress, walked gracefully into the yurt.

Seeing Princess Suhe, the four Xiongnu maidens knelt on the ground to salute.

Princess Suhe raised her arm and waved it slightly, then said two sentences in the Xiongnu language.

The four Xiongnu maidens were stunned at first, then looked back lingeringly at Duan Yu, who was sitting in the wooden tub with his eyes closed to rest, before getting up and walking out of the yurt.

Duan Yu did not speak, but the corners of his mouth had already hooked into an upward arc.

Princess Suhe was not in a hurry to speak either; instead, she walked to the edge of the wooden tub, picked up a cloth, washed it in the tub, and then began to gently wipe Duan Yu's arms.

"To have Princess Suhe personally serve me while bathing, I feel deeply honored by such a distinction," Duan Yu teased.

Princess Suhe also chuckled.

Then she replied in not-so-fluent Han Chinese: "The women of the grasslands revere brave warriors the most; only a warrior can protect his women and his cattle and sheep."

As she spoke, Princess Suhe's fingertips slid gently over Duan Yu's arm.

Duan Yu's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

These Xiongnu women were truly bold.

To be so proactive.

It was just unclear why Princess Suhe had come.

But no matter why she came, since she had delivered herself to his door, was there any reason to turn her away?

Since she had come...

Duan Yu bent his arm, reached out, and wrapped his hand around Princess Suhe's slender waist, then pulled her into the wooden tub in one motion.

Splash~

Accompanied by a soft cry from Princess Suhe, her whole body was pulled into the bathing tub by Duan Yu.

Water splashed everywhere, soaking Princess Suhe's white long dress and highlighting her wheat-colored skin.

After a brief exclamation, Princess Suhe's two jade arms hung around Duan Yu's neck.

A pair of beautiful eyes examined Duan Yu at close range, carrying a charming smile.

It was just like the way she had danced by the bonfire earlier.

Duan Yu looked at Princess Suhe, who was held in his arms at close range, and asked with a smile: "Are all Xiongnu women as brave as you, or is this not the first time you have done such a thing?"

Duan Yu, one hand hooking Princess Suhe's chin, said: "If you just want to witness the majesty of a Han man, I can satisfy you."

"But if you have other purposes, it is best to say so now."

"Because... I am not a very responsible man."

"There is a saying in the Central Plains: 'Pass through ten thousand flowers, but not a single leaf sticks to the body.'"

"Do you understand what I mean?" Duan Yu said, raising his eyebrows.

Princess Suhe smiled charmingly and nodded, then seemed to be talking to herself: "Ever since I was born, my mother told me."

"The tribal shaman divined for me, that the man I would have in the future."

"Would be the most powerful warrior in this world."

"The cavalry he leads will trample every inch of land under the sky."

"His name will be forever bathed in the sunlight."

"Wherever there are people, there will be people singing of his power and achievements."

"For so many years, I have been waiting, waiting for the appearance of such a warrior."

Having said this, Princess Suhe's beautiful eyes looked into Duan Yu's eyes.

Hmm?

Duan Yu could not tell for a moment whether what this woman in front of him said was true or false.

But judging by these words, it was very clear that Princess Suhe had not just come to throw herself into his arms. ===== CHAPTER 390 =====
