Chapter 843 “The Father Who Sells His Own Daughter Out”
“Yi Yi, what did I teach you before? A lady needs to be dignified. Not only are you gobbling up meat without manner, you’re also drinking! This is unacceptable.” Chu Ran speaks in such a righteous manner that it’s hard to rebuke his words.
“I only drank a….” Stupefied in the face, Chu Yi Yi didn’t know what to saymore.
“What?! You drank a whole pot?” Chu Ran angrily points at the girl’s clothing like he’s accusing her of doing something criminal, “How can you even try to make excuses when you drank a whole pot! To think my own daughter would be so wild when I’m not paying attention. In particular is your nerve to drink in my room, now it’s filled with the smell of alcohol! How am I supposed to sleep tonight?”
There’s an incredible disbelief in the girl’s 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?
“Bai Yan, is there something the matter in coming to see me?” 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 she’s not needing something then there’s no way she would come of her own!
“Lord, 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?”
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 would’ve continued onto the main one right away.
Chu Ran was a little surprised and perplexed by the request: “You want to enter the Holy Domain?”
“That’s right.” Firm in her tone, Bai Yan’s face showed no sign of fear or hesitation.
Sighing at this sight: “Lassie, 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, it’s hundreds of times worse!”
“I do admit though, when there’s danger and wealth usually comes hand in hand, there’s no better way then enhancing your strength in this manner.” Looking up to face the woman’s eye, Lord Chu Ran’s voice became solemn and stern, “Also, the time flow inside there is unlike the outside, it’s 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?”
Bai Yan did not answer right away because she didn’t know about the fluctuating time flow.
“I need an answer that you are certain of. Do you really want to go in there despite all the dangers involved?” Softening up in his voice on this part, the man’s face was neither aggressive nor rude.
“YES!”
“Alright, I will respect your choice here, but know that it will take a lot of time to open the entrance to the Holy Domain.” Slowly coming up to Bai Yan to give her a pat on the shoulder, Chu Ran’s tone sounded regretful: “I’ve always treated you like my daughter-in-law, but now that you’re married to someone else…. No matter, you will always be my daughter!”
“Lord…” Moved by those words, Bai Yan almost couldn’t 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: “I won’t 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 won’t have to be so worried all the time.”
Definitely hearing that last comment about herself, Chu Yi Yi didn’t even know who to cry to about her woes. Am I that unwanted? I knew it, someone else’s child will always be better than their own, that’s why Pa’s belittling me so much….
