Chapter 1662: Chu Yi Yi and Bai Xiao (4)

Chapter 1662 "Chu Yi Yi and Bai Xiao (4)"

Stopping right before the young lad's presence, Chu Yi Yi was only a step away from crashing into him: "You're hurt Xiao Xiao?"

Without surprise, Bai Xiao became startled by the sudden appearance of this friend of his. Even so, it didn't take long for him to respond with that brilliant smile: "I'm fine, how come you are here?"

For a moment, even Snow Lotus was bedazzled by the level of charm coming off of the lad. She's always taken her big cousin Wen Yi as the most handsome man in the Ice Realm, that's why she's so heads over heels for the person. Yet now she's coming to realization of someone even better on the bed right over there! To say she's not slightly swayed would be a understatement. But then the remembrance of the repugnant things done to herself instantly shook Lotus back to attention. Furthermore, she just got shoved by some lowly peasant outsider!

"It's good that you are all right. I and Xiaoyun came to meet Bai Yan, but we ended up going the opposite way and came here instead. I'm just as surprised to meet you here..."

Bai Yan?

Snow Hawk who's been listening intently at their conversation formed a frown at the name.

Why is the name so familiar...?

Bai Xiao even cool face finally breaks into a warmth never shown thus far. Turning to the snow chief: "Chief Hawk, I will be leaving with my friends now that they are here. The debt I owe your clan will be repaid by me in due times, that I promise."

The frown in Snow Hawk's face deepened even further. Instead of making the kind elderly façade he showed earlier, the chief had turned sharp and borderline threatening.

Chu Yi Yi sensed this of course and subconsciously stepped forward to put herself between the two men. She's vigilant in the eye like a fight's about to break out.

In light of the heavy air, Snow Hawk's dangerous aura eventually scattered and returned to the gentle and kind one: "Sir Xiao, I believe its best if you stay until you recover from your injury. I wouldn't want our efforts to be in vain, how about it?"

"Humph, why would we do that? You people will only continue to insult him if he stays." Chu Yi Yi doesn't back down and shot the idea down with her warning glare around the increasingly larger crowd of occupants around the doorway. "I'm taking him away today regardless of what you all do!"

This time it's no longer a mere differing opinion or argument, it's a direct insult for Snow Hawk who called himself the chief.

Bai Xiao felt the sudden pressure exuding out of the older man there and immediately reached out to grab hold of Chu Yi Yi's hand to pull her back: "Yi Yi, we will stay for now like Chief Hawk suggests. My injury is too severe to move properly so it's the best arrangement."

As soon as he said this, the pressure that surrounded the Holy Land's princess dispersed and the chief bellowed out a laugh at the sensibility of the young lad: "That's great then. I will not disturb your rest so we will take our leave. Lotus, come with me!" Grabbing his eldest daughter's arm, he drags her out without room for discussion.

The whole room went all quiet despite the ruckus mere seconds ago.

"Xiao Xiao, why are you staying?" Chu Yi Yi asks with a perplexed look.

Scanning the room to make sure there's no ease droppers lingering around, "The Snow Clan's chief won't be letting us go regardless of what we do. Also, you're not his equal so there's no point in resisting right now. We will move once I recover."

That little remark about her being weak definitely didn't make the girl any happier, but even so, the Holy Land princess didn't refute the claim and moved on. "So we can leave after you recover?"

"Mhmm," the boy makes a faint nod, "once I am healed, no one here is my opponent."

Bai Xiao wasn't one to repay kindness with hate, but they are leaving him no choice. A debt doesn't equal to slavery, nor does it mean one must sell themselves out for such a thing.
