Chapter 1645 “Contract Black Turtle (9)”

Just as her big brother regretted it at that time, Lan Xiaoyun doesn’t want her friend here doing the same thing with that guy they just met.

Regarding Lan Shaoling who’s the eldest in the Lan House, the guy had wanted to be with the female queen of the Feng Qi Kingdom since he’s been smitten with her. Sadly, due to various reasons like his own self esteem and the situation with his family’s deteriorating status back in the day, the guy didn’t have the courage to pursue that love. Then as Bai Yan returned and brought the Lan House to new heights, the situation suddenly got reversed and it was the female who felt inferior. In the end neither of the couple could get together and remains circling around with no end to their predicament.

Perhaps the topic was making the air too heavy for Chu Yi Yi. Before she knew it, a helpless expression could be seen along this Holy Land’s princess face.

“Yi Yi, do you have someone you like too?” Lan Xiaoyun asks after noticing the oddity.

“Huh?” Chu Yi Yi subconsciously shook her head out of reflex, “How is that possible? I don’t like anyone.”

“In any case, I hope that both of you would take advantage of the opportunity when it comes your way. You might just regret it if you let it slip your hands.” Lan Xiaoyun’s face was firm in this topic.

If I ever fall in love with a man one day then I won’t let anything get in my way. No matter their background or status, I will see it through!

Towards that determined face of her friend, Chu Yi Yi’s mind instinctively recalled back to a youthful and handsome face. Surprised by her own involuntary reaction, the Holy Land princess promptly shook it off.

How can I like him…

Though she says that, the frail image of that teen remains firmly imprinted onto her heart when Bai Yan destroyed the Bai House. It’s too impactful, a young man standing alone before a burning pyre filling up that estate.

“Xiao Wan,” aching inside after remembering the past, Chu Yi Yi asked the one thing her heart really wanted to know, “did your brother get any news about Bai Xiao’s whereabout?”

Not thinking much of that question, which came out of nowhere considering the conversation never went there, the demon princess casually tells what she knew: “I am not very clear about that, I only know my big bro left as soon as he woke up. Oh right, why are you asking about Xiao Xiao’s whereabout all of a sudden?”

“He’s after all Bai Yan’s younger brother, if he goes missing then she will be very worried regardless of what she says… that’s why I’m asking.” In order to not rouse any suspicion from the two friends, Chu Yi Yi tries hard to look calm and steady on the surface.

I’m only just asking, just asking… Bai Xiao was so kind to me back in the Liu Huo Kingdom, its only normal I ask about him since he’s been gone so long…

“I’ll ask about him once my big bro returns.” Di Xiao Wan says, her lip puckering into a displeased frown, “Xiao Xiao is so lucky, having Bai Yan care about him so much, totally unlike my big bro who only knows how to pick on me. He’s nothing like State Teacher who’s always kind and gentle.”

From the words of this demon princess, one could hear the level of grievance she has about Di Cang. Coupled with the vastly different treatment between herself and Bai Yan and her boy, the girl only got more pessimistic inside.

“Don’t be sad Xiao Wan, my cousin Bai Yan is also your family, she loves you too. Also, your older brother isn’t that bad to you….”

That last bit only made the demon princess even more depressed as she breaks out crying: “But he’s always scaring me. Its either scolding me or calling me stupid, saying I will help my kidnapper count the money after they sell me. My brain just isn’t enough to deal with those things, how am I supposed to know those people are out to kidnap me….?”
