BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1676 - Chu Yi Feng (2)
Snow Hawk’s frowning face only got worse due to the displeasure of having his decision repeatedly questioned: “Guards, go bring my second daughter back to her room, she’s not to leave the room unless I say so.”
This means that he’s going to put Snow Moon under house arrest, which showed in the stream of tears flowing down the panicking girl’s face as she was dragged away.
“I don’t want this, I don’t want to leave! Father, you can’t do this... you can’t do this to Sister Yi Yi....” She continues to sob and cry out.
Chu Yi Yi instinctively want to help in the way her hands were clenching up. However, this princess also knows what the consequences of her own rash actions would mean in this case. She’s seen through this chief already. Family bonds? Sure, he might have some, but that bond pales in comparison to being the head of this household and all those who follow him. Heck, she’s certain if the situation comes to shove, he would even sacrifice his own daughters if it meant the prosperity of the clan as a whole!
“Xiao Xiao,” Grasping onto the young lad’s hand as she spoke, “Bai Yan will come save us so don’t let this get to you...”
Huang Xiao Ying and Lan Xiaoyun had already left to find the demon queen. Once she gets word of their predicament, that proud woman would surely come running.
“I know my sister will come, but I fear we won’t have the time to wait for her...” The lad forms a helpless smile, “In another few days I will fully recover and could fight our way out, but it’s unlikely they will give us the chance until then, nor do I want you to endure this indignation for my own sake.”
Chu Yi Yi was a person whom his older sister highly valued, how could he bare to make her suffer in his place? So, even if his strength hasn’t been restored yet, he would still fight in order to not let them take her away.
“Chief Hawk, you are likely not aware of what I said to these guards to make them back off earlier so I’ll repeat myself for your sake. If you lay a hand on my friend, I will immediately destroy the Millennium Ice Lotus within my body. I will do what I say, don’t doubt my words....” There’s no fear or indecision in the young man, only strength and a drive to continue moving forward in life.
Snow Hawk’s face got even uglier as he narrowed in on the lad: “Are you threatening me?”
“Take it however you like. Don’t assume I don’t know what you are thinking.” Cocking a smirk in his face, “Aren’t you only pairing me up with your daughter because you want me to stay at the Snow Clan for the rest of my life? Don’t try to say otherwise, I know as much as you do on what it means for the Ice Lotus to take root within my body. To think you would rather sacrifice your own daughter’s happiness just to have her take half of the powers given to me by the Ice Lotus, you sure are a thoughtful father indeed....”
Snow Hawk’s façade of being stern and mighty finally crumbled at his plot being exposed. Yes, he wants Lotus to marry Bai Xiao because the Ice Lotus works exactly in that fashion. Once mated, the pair could never be separated since their powers are shared, by then there wouldn’t be any cause for revenge since the association has been made. Right now all that remains was the look of astonishment from the chief’s eye.
This...... how did he know about this? Only the chief of each generation would know about this secret, why does he know what the Ice Lotus entails for the female partner?
“Father, is what he said true?!” Snow Lotus swung around and locked onto her old man’s stunned face, “Is this the reason why you want me to marry him? You know I like Big Cousin the entire time! I never cared for talent or strength, why must you force me when Moon is around too! She could’ve done so in my place! Sure, she’s a bit young, but you could’ve waited a few years before making the marriage proposal....”
