âWhat are you all dazing around for?â Snow Lotus became rightfully outraged at the guards who didnât run over immediately, âGet over there and knab this woman!â
âBut... Milady, the Millennium Ice Lotus....â
âAre you stupid or all just brain dead? This bastard is bluffing you! We just have to kill him to retrieve the Millennium Ice Lotus, thereâs no reason to keep him alive!â
Big Cousin said it already, retrieving the Ice Lotus is as easy as offing this asshole. Afterwards the flower will be ours to remove.
Regarding Wen Yiâs words, this eldest daughter of the Snow Clan would believe anything, even the stupidest lies that most would deny right away. However, these household guards werenât as confident and hesitated. They know what the consequences are if anything happens to that precious treasure. Whatâs more, their status wasnât on the same level as the lady, they are expendable and they know it!
By this point Bai Xiao had taken the opportunity to get in front of his friend. Showing force in his posture despite being sloppy and weak: âNo one can touch her as long as Iâm here today! Unless you want me to destroy myself along with the Ice Lotus!â
The boyâs threat once again pushed the guards back.
âXiao Xiao.â Chu Yi Yi lets go of her target and swings around to be a shield again, her face tense and insecure, âActually, Iâm usually not this brutish, Iâm usually very gentle....â
She got careless and revealed that temperament born from the protection of the Holy Land.
Oh what do I do, will Xiao Xiao think Iâm too brutish and not give me a chance?
Thinking of this, Chu Yi Yi strongly adds another part: âI am really really gentle, you must believe me.â
Bai Xiao openly smiled at that: âYou are indeed really really gentle, but for this type of woman you need not be gentle. In front of the enemy, you only need to beat them hard and fast until they canât stand up again.â
The princess just stared, her eyes showing incredulous disbelief.
He means.... I donât need to hold back my temper in front of those I find to be an eyesore? I wonât have to hold back?
âDo you think Iâm bad tempered?â
âNo, she wronged you first so you should do whatever you want.â
Bai Xiao has always been indifferent in his own personality, never showing pity to those who cross him. In this case, itâs Snow Lotus who sought her own demise so why should he do anything about it?
âBut would you still be on my side if I hit someone for no reason?â Chu Yi Yi fixes her eyes on the young man in anticipation for the answer.
Bai Xiao laughs aloud with a humor in his voice: âI believe in you, I believe you wonât harm others in a barbaric manner unless you deem it necessary. After all, if my sister trusts you then I of course trust you as well.â
In the eye of this young lad, anyone his older sister believes in are worthy of his trust regardless of what they do. To be clear, itâs not without reason. Just look at what they experienced in the Bai House? Despite being the children of that home, no one believed their suffering or difficulties and even earned a bad reputation for asking for help. Who believed them then? As a result, he wants to trust in those whom they deem friends, thatâs their decision and conviction.
Chu Yi Yi smiled brilliantly at the pass, Should I thank Bai Yan later? I didnât even do anything and already left such a good impression on Xiao Xiao!
âYou two...â Snow Lotus pulls herself up and glared her eyes out resentfully at the pair, âYou stole my familyâs treasure and still dare to hit me? Iâm going to tell my father and hang both of you for me to hit!â
