Forget about the Snow Clan members here, not even Chu Yi Yi or Huang Xiao Ying expected the young man to pull this trick. Staring at him, the Holy Land princess reactively wanted to reach out and grab his arms to only slip those dainty fingers across that shoulder sleeve in the last moment.

  “Catch them!” Snow Hawk glowered as he ordered the men to move it.

  Ignoring the fact that Chu Yi Yi might be the thief here, the mere fact that the only weakness of the young lad was these two ladies was enough to make Chief Hawk capture them. By using the two as hostage, he could easily manipulate the guy into sleeping with his daughter afterwards.

  “If you want to catch them then you better step over my dead body!” Bai Xiao blocked the pursuers with his figure, that sword in his hand pointing at whoever attempted to draw closer.

  Unfortunately, the young guy never did fully heal from his injuries. When he moved so did Snow Hawk who locked onto him. Following a palm strike to his chest, the guy stumbles backwards and spewed blood from the mouth.

  “Bai Xiao, is she your lover in the way you protect her?” Snow Hawk casually comments, “Her strength is so mediocre, likely not from any noble house or clan, why are you so insistent on being with such a mundane female when my Snow Clan far exceeds her worth?”


  A frown naturally formed on the young man’s face at the misunderstanding, but he’s not going to correct the chief either. Huffing a grunt, he continues to keep a wary pose: “Yi Yi and my relationship is none of your business. Also, I will never be forced into any form of marriage, no one can dictate my future!”


  Striking out once again with his palm after that retort, Snow Hawk knew his words wouldn’t do anything so he intends to use force to do the talking. Yet despite increasing his power in that hit, the recoiling force only made the young man take two steps back before stopping.

  Naturally blood leaked from the corner of Bai Xiao’s mouth at his injury becoming more severe, but the stubborn pride in his eyes and face never relented.

  “Don’t look down on me. I may not be able to defeat you lot today, but don’t think I will submit to your whims just because I’m losing. If you want to kill me then go ahead, I will never sleep with your daughter!”


  Snow Lotus was being dragged away when she overheard that shout. Like any young maiden, being disregarded to such a degree would undoubtedly make them flush with embarrassment. In the heat of the moment, this foolish girl actually broke free from the constraints of her two restrainers and ran up to the guy and slapped him across that handsome face!

  If it were in the past then Lotus wouldn’t even be able to get close to the boy, let alone slap him. But now, Bai Xiao’s exhausted and suffering from a double injury, just about anyone could come hit him as they please because merely standing there required most of his energy to support the feat.

  “Get this you asshole! It’s me who don’t want to marry you, not you not wanting to marry me! Who do you think you are? I am the eldest daughter of the Snow Clan, a woman beloved by hundreds in this land! You are nothing but a orphan without family or background, don’t go running your mouth like you’re all that when you’re not!”


  In the eye of this pompous lady, only she’s allowed to refuse the marriage of others and not the other way around. Imagine this news being spread across the city, it would cause irreparable damage to her reputation you know?!

  Not the least bit annoyed by that outburst, the teen here only licked the corner of his lip to remove some of the blood. Then turning to Lotus, his eyes radiated a cold bristling ice storm that shocked the blasphemous girl back like she’s actually there in person.

  “Before your family saved me when I fell unconscious, I wanted to repay that debt using my own means, but now…… I owe you all nothing……” The way Bai Xiao carried a heavy note, showing how repugnant he was starting to feel about this place.
