BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1845 - 1845 To Snow Territory 3
However, over the past couple of years, their adversaries had grown stronger and more formidable.
Several months ago, many of their guards and civilians suffered injuries in a skirmish.
Fear began to seep into the hearts of Snow Territory’s inhabitants.
A large-scale battle loomed on the horizon, threatening to engulf Snow Territory.
Snow Territory’s strength lay in their familiarity with the terrain and their mastery of its unique magical energies. Yet, if an adversary were to possess similar knowledge of Snow Territory, they would find themselves at a severe disadvantage.
Snow Territory and Huayin had been ancient enemies, and the desire for revenge burned fiercely within the hearts of Snow Territory’s inhabitants. They were well aware that Snow Territory alone was no match against Huayin, and thus they relied on the presence of the Pheonix Girl for their defense.
The Pheonix Girl was their last line of defense, the key to their survival.
This was precisely why Ouyang Mingjing had gone through great lengths to bring the Pheonix Girl to Snow Territory and insisted on her stay.
As these thoughts swirled in his mind, Ouyang Mingjing grew increasingly agitated. In frustration, he abruptly turned and left.
But before departing, he made sure to instruct the maids and guards to remain vigilant in their watch over the Pheonix Girl.
Elder Man, who had been closely following the situation, couldn’t help but voice his confusion. “City Lord, are you truly planning to give her the Fire Lotus flower?”
“Let’s prioritize the marriage and postpone the gift of the Fire Lotus flower. Even if she suffers a little longer without the antidote, it’s fine. We shouldn’t give her the Fire Lotus Flower right away, as it would put us at a disadvantage. After all, she is not truly invested in Snow Territory,” Ouyang Mingjing explained, his expression serious and logical.
He had observed how the Huayin Faction was plotting against the Pheonix Girl.
Elder Man felt somewhat relieved upon hearing Ouyang Mingjing’s reasoning. He had worried that the City Lord might prioritize righteousness over the well-being of Snow Territory’s civilians.
However, based on what the City Lord had just said…
Elder Man decided on a more cautious approach.
He suggested, “In my opinion, we can give the Fire Lotus flower to the Pheonix Girl when she becomes pregnant. That way, she will have to stay in Snow Territory.”
Ouyang Mingjing nodded in agreement, acknowledging Elder Man’s suggestion.
But he didn’t elaborate further.
He had his own pride, and that pride didn’t allow him to keep his wife in such a manner. However, he had no choice but to do so.
