BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1667 - Framed (1)
Snow Hawk sat high atop of his master chair as he gazes down at the two younglings before himself. “Wen Yi, I have something to discuss with Lotus in private, you can go back to your room first.”
“Yes, uncle.” Despite complying by arching his fist and turning for the exit, the young man had made a disgruntled face once he turned the other way. It’s not surprising in this case, after all, he did work so hard just to get this far and winning the girl’s fancy. Why should he be cast aside like an outsider when he wanted to be more?
“Lotus,” Snow Hawk returns his attention back to his daughter after making sure they’re alone, “you’ve been talking with Wen Yi again haven’t you?”
Hanging her head low in an almost guilty manner: “Father, Cousin Wen Yi is way better than that Bai Xiao, why are you so prejudice towards him? Besides, what’s so good about that Bai Xiao anyways? Didn’t that outsider say he’s without parents? Such a person has no status to speak of, why are you comparing such a low standing person to Big Cousin?”
The Wen Clan may not be comparable to the Snow Clan, but they’re by no means weak in this frostbitten realm. However, in retrospect to Bai Xiao’s connection with Bai Yan, the two could never be on the same stage. In fact, the queen of the Demon Realm could easily overshadow every major power in this northern landscape if brought to the front.
“Lotus, I won’t repeat myself again so stop having those thoughts. You will not change my mind on the matter. I care not whether you accept the marriage or not, you will marry that boy, understand?” The older man’s expression had gotten stern and hard, “And in my opinion, that Bai Xiao doesn’t necessarily want to accept you...”
Lotus only sneered at that idea. Cocking her chin high like a proud peacock: “Don’t make me laugh Father, that asshole is only pretending to not like me in order to trick me into liking him. I’ve seen plenty who tried such plays in the past. I bet its because he knows you won’t let him leave, that’s why he wanted to use such means to earn image points. He probably feel so inferior that he needs to use such underhanded tricks.”
“Uuuh, enough, I’m don’t want to hear anymore.” Groaning like he’s going to get headache at his eldest daughter’s logic, Snow Hawk’s brow had furrowed into a deep knot. Swiping the air impatiently, “We will talk again later, leave me for now. Also, you are not allowed to get close to Wen Yi during this period, do you understand?”
“Father!” Lotus stomps her feet hard in frustration, but then retracted that whiny tone after lighting up with an idea: “Father, I heard you got your hands on a Divine God Pill, can you give Cousin Wen Yi it? If you do then I promise to listen to you.”
Divine God Pill, a very rare drug that could help one break through from a Middle Divine rank into the Higher Divine Rank. It’s a wonderful product most could only dream about, and in this case the Snow Clan has gotten in their possession a single pill for the most talented of their members.
Growing extremely ugly in the face at the sudden request, the man could tell where this was leading to: “Lotus, you know well enough that our clan is saving that pill, why would you ask such a thing of me?”
“Of course I know Father, that’s why I’m asking you to let Cousin Wen Yi take it. I know you and the elders are all looking for the most talented among the younger generation to use it upon, but you need to stop being biased towards Cousin Wen Yi. He’s been stuck at the Middle Divine stage for so long, if he takes that Divine God Pill then he will surely make a breakthrough. You know it too, he and I...”
“Humph!” Snow Hawk sounded irate now: “You really have been blinded by that boy haven’t you Lotus? Don’t think your father I can’t see through to his schemes. He wants the Divine God Pill? Dream on! That precious drug will only be used on someone within the family, not some distant relative from another clan! Also, once you are married to that Bai Xiao, I will be sending Wen Yi back to the Wen Clan. It’s not right for him to constantly stay at our home when he has his own.”
