章 15: Chapter 15: “Grandfather”

編集者: Misty Cloud Translations

If he could return to the battlefield, even if the they were facing Qing Yun clan, His Majesty would not have been so ruthless towards Lin Palace.

Over the years, Jun Xian was aware of his excessive military merit as he continued to reduce the Rui Lin Army. Who knew that this would have paved the way to the current situation.

"I'm going to protect Jun Wu Xie to my last breath. No one can even think about touching my granddaughter!" He proclaimed with a glint in his eyes.

I have already lost my son. I cannot afford to lose his daughter as well. She is my one and only Lin Wang's precious granddaughter!

Deep into the night, this father and son pair were in the study discussing in hushed tones the precarious situation the family was currently facing. Standing by the door was the silhouette of two figures.

Jun Wu Xie listened on quietly as she stared at the door.

Grandfather…

In her previous world, that 'Grandfather' of hers made her spend over ten years in bleak darkness. What was suffering, what was despair – she had a thorough grasp on them.

However, the 'Grandfather' of this body was like a sunlight piercing through the darkness. When she had first met him, he had poured out overwhelming love and concern which she had no idea how to react to.

This was something that she has never experienced before. Whenever he found something interesting, the first thing he did was to send it to her room. If she had a slight frown on her face, he would try all means and ways to coax her.

Subconsciously, she started to avoid contact with him as she did not how to respond to him as the memory of her 'grandfather' was completely different.

But she did not think that he would have done things for her to this extent.

Also Lin Palace has been suspicious towards the Royal family's schemes but had turned a blind eye to it as he had sworn his loyalty and believed that all the years of service he had rendered wouldn't be overlooked. But this time, with the spearhead pointing towards his granddaughter the blind loyalty dissipated.

For his granddaughter, he was willing to give up everything.

With her faint heart still throbbing, she squeezed her skirt tightly.

"Are all 'grandfathers' supposed to be like that?" she asked with furrowed brows.

Standing beside her Jun Wu Yao was looking at her pale little face and he did not know why her face suddenly flushed with excitement.

"Do you still want to go in?" he asked as he looked at her curiously.

"No." she shook a head as her usually calm expression had a glimmer of warmth. She had initially wanted to discuss with her grandfather on doing her own treatment but did not expect to hear these by the door .

She turned to leave the study, she needed some peace and quiet to think things through.

As she turn to leave, his amused dark eyes revealed a hint of dark purple. He felt that these human monarchs behaved in a ridiculous manner. He just wanted to kill them all.

Dangerous fire from the depth of his half-amused eyes was ignited. But if things were done this way, it will also get her into trouble. The killing intent slowly faded.

Let's wait and see…

章 16: Little White Lotus (1)

編集者: Misty Cloud Translations

Chapter 16: " Little White Lotus (1)"

When she went back to her room, the little black cat immediately appeared and jumped onto her shoulder as it rubbed against her cheek affectionately.

"Are all grandfathers supposed to be like this?" She was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the strange yet familiar reflection.

"According to normal relationships, that's the way should be." The black cat was swinging it's bushy tail. It was the only one who knew what the word 'grandfather' meant for her.

"Is that so?" Her eyes lowered as she gently clutched her chest. Within it, she felt a warm feeling radiate…something she's never felt before.

A little sour, a little warm. She loved it.

Jun Wu Yao once asked her whether she was angry when Mo Xuan Fei and Bai Yun Xian came over to break the marriage arrangement.

The answer in her heart was "why should she be?".

For her, the past of this body had nothing to do with her, even the Lin Palace did not have much relationship to her so she did not feel the need to be angry, but now things are different.

Jun Xian's voice echoed in her head. The constant nagging to eat her medicine, the little attempts at jokes when he was trying to get her to smile, these were all foreign to her.

"He is my Grandfather." The reflection in the bronze mirror revealed a small smile, one that was enough to melt snow and ice.

God had given her compensation for her past experience – giving her a chance to feel what it's like to have someone to care for her and to protect her. She will certainly not let anyone destroy this new found happiness.

"I will not let anything happen to Lin Palace,myself or my Grandfather." she said with conviction as she narrowed her eyes.

In the past, nothing was worthy of her concern but now, things have changed.

Lin palace is now in muddy waters and to protect it, she must take some decisive actions. Things were not so simple.

"My white lotus…in the end.. what are you?" She whispered under her breath as she traced her slender finger over the empty ring spot. Faint light diffused from her fingers and the white lotus appeared once again.

"Meow"

[Do you want to try and see what can it do?] The black cat was swishing its tail in excitement as it cocked its head and stared intently on the white lotus.

She placed the white lotus on her palm and gently brushed its petals. A sweet fragrance permeated the entire room.

"It's scent is lovely," as she took in a deep whiff. Somehow she had always felt that whenever she smelled this scent, her blood flow deemed smoother, as though this scent had a relation to this feeling.

This lotus fragrance was very strange, it had a very enticing smell and even conditioned the human blood, perhaps this lotus might have other uses as well.

As she reached out to pull off a petal… at that moment…before the petal was pulled off…

"Ouch! Pain…Pain…Pain…" A gentle child like voice sounded out as her surroundings turned misty.

When the mist gradually dispersed, a small little boy was sitting on the floor tearfully holding his arm, looking dejectedly at Jun Wu Xie.

"Meow!" The sudden appearance of this little kid scared the black cat out of its wits and it almost fell off as it scrambled to sit back on Jun Wu Xie's shoulders.

"...….." Jun Wu Xie looked on speechlessly at the little boy seated on the floor. He was wearing a small bib with a vivid white lotus design which looks exactly like her white lotus contractual spirit.
