Bai Ningsu scanned the area, her gaze finally landing on Xia Ji. A smirk appeared on her lips as she swiftly lashed out with a long whip.
Crack!
The whip struck with astonishing speed.
"Absurd!" The Elder of Snowy City, Goatee, trembled, his immense true energy ready to burst forth.
Xia Ji's expression changed. He reacted even faster than the Elder Goatee, instinctively forming a large handprint that reached out from amidst the flurry of whip shadows, grabbing hold of its source and pulling it towards him, along with the person.
In the end, Bai Ningsu's head bumped right between Xia Ji's legs!
Xia Ji could only think that the sensation was quite something!
Fortunately, he immediately activated his feather fan to its maximum capacity, transforming it into a barrier that blocked everyone's view, thus avoiding a series of embarrassing situations.
The feather fan of the Crown Prince of the Northern Yan Dynasty was no ordinary item; it was indeed a high-grade magical artifact.
Bai Wuji's eyes suddenly lit up as he couldn't help but slam his hand on the table and exclaimed, "Good! I never expected this! Young Master Ji'er is so young yet has already reached such a level in cultivation. Truly promising for the future!"
Coughing awkwardly, Xia Ji felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He wanted to shift out of the embarrassing position, but unfortunately, Bai Ningxue moved again at just the wrong moment, resulting in an even more awkward situation.
It was all due to this damned coincidence, combined with his overly youthful body and those silky pants woven from silk...
Bai Ningsu's face turned red, and her blood felt like it was boiling. From the roots of her ears to her earlobes and down to her neck, a flush of embarrassment appeared. Eventually, with the girl's cooperation, Xia Ji's awkwardness finally began to fade away.
"Uncle Bai, look at us..." Xia Ji was somewhat at a loss for words.
Bai Wuji waved his hand, a teasing smile on his face. "It's nothing; who hasn't been young before?"
After saying that, Bai Wuji looked at his little daughter, his expression turning serious. "Ning Su, you take Ji'er around later. Our Extreme North Snowy City may not have much, but we have plenty of snow! Although you might encounter some in Shengjing City occasionally, it can't compare to what we have here. Just remember to come back before the banquet."
"Dad, you... hum!" Bai Ningsu's cheeks were flushed as she huffed, twisting her waist and lifting her bright red skirt as she hurried out of the hall.
"Uncle Bai, what do you think about this?" Xia Ji watched Bai Ningsu run out in embarrassment, unsure whether he should chase after her.
"Don't worry; I'll leave my daughter in the care of His Highness the Crown Prince," Bai Wuji said with an expression that indicated he had accepted Xia Ji as his son-in-law and that there was no turning back.
"Then I shall take my leave!" Xia Ji bowed and quickly walked out.
"Lord of the City, although our Extreme North Snowy City ’s marriage alliance with King Jing's mansion is greatly beneficial for Snowy City, will this put Ning Su in a difficult position?" An older Elder hesitated for a moment before mustering the courage to speak up.
They all watched Ning Su grow up. If Ning Su truly did not want to marry, they would not pressure her too much. Even though the Snowy City is not as prosperous as it once was, it has not reached the point where sacrificing a legitimate daughter is necessary to prolong its life.
"Don't worry!" Bai Wuji waved his hand and said, "Ning Su is my daughter, and I know her temperament better than anyone. If she really didn't want to, she would have made a huge fuss by now! Would she be acting like this in such a childish manner? She's just throwing a little tantrum. If we give them some time and space to be together, who knows, their feelings might deepen."
Moreover, although our Extreme North Snowy City is still somewhat flourishing now, if we wait until the Fallen Star Abyss...
The Elder of Snowy City whispered, "Be cautious with your words; that existence within that place is a taboo."
