Chapter 1652 “Bai Xiao (6)”

Getting clearly sharper in his gaze, the guy by the name of Wen Yi begins to spout his prearranged verse that he thought ahead of time: “Your father is only tricking you into marrying that outsider by using that excuse. The Millennium Ice Lotus can easily be pried out of the person once he’s gutted, do not believe anything else. Know this my dear Lotus, I only want what’s best for you and your clan. I cannot watch idly by while someone evil is going after your family’s treasure.”

In other words, all that he’s doing was for the sake of others and not himself. There’s not an ounce of selfishness in him.

Obviously moved based on how blurry her eyes had become from the wet fluid slowly trickling out, “Big Cousin, you are so kind to me…. You must become the next head of the Snow Clan, only then will your efforts not be wasted. That outsider is sure to bring ruin to our clan.”

Knowing he’s got her, Wen Yi went ahead and pulled the girl into his arms, those fingers wrapped firmly around the waist line to not let her go. Also, it’s to keep Lotus’s line of sight from the dark sinister smirk that he’s making. The guy’s taller than the girl so when she leaned that head against the man’s chest, there’s no way for her to notice.

……

Guest room of the Snow Clan.

As the sun’s ray pierced through the open window, the teen who’s laying atop of the bed only appeared pale and distraught. The guy’s dreaming, a dream about himself running through an open tundra surrounded by miles and miles of long snowy mountains in view.

It’s not that the guy wanted to flee through this freezing terrain, rather he’s being chased by many ferocious looking animals in the rear. In his frantic urgency to save himself, he eventually slipped and came crashing down into the ice, leaving a streak of blood through the ground as a result of the mishap. That was it, he knew there’s no running after this. Closing his eyes in fear, the guy in the dream shivers uncontrollably at the impending death.

Yet…. the expected slash from a razor-sharp claw never came. Confused by the delay, he slowly opens a gap through those closed eyelids and peaked. It’s there that he met her, that brilliant figure standing in front of himself and blocking the animals from eating him.

“You bunch are so bold!” The girl’s voice sounded crisp and cold, yet easy to the ear: “Didn’t I say no demon or demon beast is allowed to attack humans without strong reasoning? Did you all forget my orders already?”

Originally the demonic beasts surrounding the youngster were still rearing to go at him, but after that harsh tongue lashing, they promptly retreated away with a longing affection for their prey. It’s not often they would come across an easy human for food, therefore it’s no wonder they would be so adamant about leaving.

After the predators had all retreated and left the scene, the girl finally turned around to offer a helping hand: “How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?”

Unsure at first on how to react, the teen stammered for a proper reply before he pulled himself together, “I’m alright, just now… thank you for the help….”

“Don’t mind it,” the girl smiled, “I can tell your abilities are quite low, hmm…. Here, take this lotus flower, it will help you. But before using it, you must use your own blood to feed it every morning for a hundred days to make it recognize you as its owner. Afterwards the lotus flower will continuously feed your blood with energy and repair any injury you suffer.”

Slowly taking the flower offered to himself, the youngster shows confusion at the gracious gift: “Why are you going this far to help me? We don’t know each other….”

“It’s nothing special, I’m only doing it for my own pleasure. I can see my past shadow in you. Thankfully I’m better off now since Grandpapa took me in at the Celestial Palace, otherwise I would still be hunted by those people…” In that moment, the girl’s smiling face became firmly etched onto the young man’s heart, bringing light and hope into his gloomy life of constant struggle and danger.
