âYi Yi, what did I teach you before? A lady needs to be dignified. Not only are you gobbling up meat without manner, youâre also drinking! This is unacceptable.â Chu Ran speaks in such a righteous manner that itâs hard to rebuke his words.
âI only drank aâ¦.â Stupefied in the face, Chu Yi Yi didnât know what to saymore.
âWhat?! You drank a whole pot?â Chu Ran angrily points at the girlâs clothing like heâs accusing her of doing something criminal, âHow can you even try to make excuses when you drank a whole pot! To think my own daughter would be so wild when Iâm not paying attention. In particular is your nerve to drink in my room, now itâs filled with the smell of alcohol! How am I supposed to sleep tonight?â
Thereâs an incredible disbelief in the girlâs eye as she stared at her old pa. Suddenly, a strong impulse of wanting to cry takes hold inside.?I only took a sip, why is Pa framing me?
âBai Yan, is there something the matter in coming to see me?â Chu Ran turns to face the woman. From the original stern face he used against his own daughter, his expression now was soft and kind.
This girl has always tried to hide away from me ever since I attempted to hook her up with my son. If sheâs not needing something then thereâs no way she would come of her own!
âLord, remember what you said when I came out of the mini domain? I wish to enter the main one to continue my training. May I go in?â
In fact, of the four years she spent at the Holy Land, two of which was spent training in that place. If not for the fact that she misses her younger brother Bai Xiao dearly and went back to find him, she wouldâve continued onto the main one right away.
Chu Ran was a little surprised and perplexed by the request: âYou want to enter the Holy Domain?â
âThatâs right.â Firm in her tone, Bai Yanâs face showed no sign of fear or hesitation.
Sighing at this sight: âLassie, I did say you can enter the real Holy Domain, but you must understand that the danger also increases exponentially. Compared to the mini version you entered, itâs hundreds of times worse!â
âI do admit though, when thereâs danger and wealth usually comes hand in hand, thereâs no better way then enhancing your strength in this manner.â Looking up to face the womanâs eye, Lord Chu Ranâs voice became solemn and stern, âAlso, the time flow inside there is unlike the outside, itâs much slower. If you spend a year in there then its only a month out here. Are you sure you want to go through with this?â
Bai Yan did not answer right away because she didnât know about the fluctuating time flow.
âI need an answer that you are certain of. Do you really want to go in there despite all the dangers involved?â Softening up in his voice on this part, the manâs face was neither aggressive nor rude.
âYES!â
âAlright, I will respect your choice here, but know that it will take a lot of time to open the entrance to the Holy Domain.â Slowly coming up to Bai Yan to give her a pat on the shoulder, Chu Ranâs tone sounded regretful: âIâve always treated you like my daughter-in-law, but now that youâre married to someone elseâ¦. No matter, you will always be my daughter!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âLordâ¦â Moved by those words, Bai Yan almost couldnât hold back a trickle of tear from how moved she felt. These people here have done nothing but treat herself and her son good.
Chu Ran chuckled at this image: âI wonât bother you with the unimportant stuff, just know that I have always wanted a capable daughter like you. If Yi Yi could even be half as good as you then I wonât have to be so worried all the time.â
Definitely hearing that last comment about herself, Chu Yi Yi didnât even know who to cry to about her woes.?Am I that unwanted? I knew it, someone elseâs child will always be better than their own, thatâs why Paâs belittling me so muchâ¦.
