Chapter 1654 “Bai Xiao (8)”
Flashing forward into his next dreams, all were of similar nature where he would constantly search for a girl that him willingly sacrificed himself in the first one. Of course, he didn’t understand any of it and why he’s searching. Sadly, like all the rest, he would never meet the individual, only dying alone of old age through years of training and cultivation….
Well, that sad fate eventually did come to an end when he finally got asked a certain question by a specific female inside the Bai Clan’s manor.
“Why are you so good to me?”
And he, out of the blue answered in the oddest way: “Perhaps it’s my way of repaying a past debt from another life to you.”
……
In the Snow Clan’s guest room, the teen who’s been unconscious up till now finally loosened his furrowed forehead, letting a drop of tear to slowly trickle down the side and soaking the bed sheet.
I see……
I became her brother in this life because she saved me in a past one. I came here for her, willingly to do anything to repay that debt.
Unbeknownst to Bai Xiao himself, the sudden act of himself shooting open those eyes had startled the dagger wielding girl beside his bedside. One could say he got very lucky in this moment for who knows what this female had intended for him.
“You…” the panicking young girl quickly hides her blade and asked with biting lips, “you’re awake?”
This is bad, Father will definitely come check on the loud commotion if try to gut him…
“Mhmm.” Dry and hoarse like he’s dehydrated, Bai Xiao slowly turns his head to the left side to meet the girl who’s known as Snow Lotus. Frowning after scanning the unfamiliar bedroom and its layout, “Where am I?”
Lotus actually found herself unable to respond for a short moment there. Not for being asked a simple question of course, but rather due to the extremely manly and attractive voice she just heard. Even so, her drive to rid her family of this outsider remains strong, especially when she believes the person intends to steal her clan’s treasure and wealth at the cost of marrying herself!
“Good, you’re awake now, we can go look for my father.” Snow Lotus cocks her chin up as she spoke like she’s superior to him in every way, “I will not marry you so you can forget about doing that. I already have a guy that’s way better than you. He’s self-reliant and strong, totally unlike you! Also, quit having wishful thoughts about me, that will never happen and nothing can change my mind!”
Bai Xiao’s expression turned into a frown from the initial confusion due to that burst of one-sided nonsense: “I do not know you, nor do I want to marry you.”
Snow Lotus stared in surprise, This guy said he doesn’t want to marry me? Didn’t he steal the Ice Lotus in order to marry me? That way Father will have no choice but to force? Why is he trying to deny it now?
“Are me trying to play hard to get with me?” Lotus grinds her teeth viciously like a humiliated cat, “I’ve met enough bastards like you who only knows how to act like they’re not interested. Do you think I will believe that? I demand you go to my father this instant to state you won’t marry me, otherwise… otherwise I would rather die than doing so!”
I am the daughter of the Snow Clan, who doesn’t admire me in this northern ice land? Don’t take me for a fool just because you got some acting skills!
