Chapter 228: Fiancé
Her expression became forbidding. Not only do I know nothing about the Blue Tower or my so-called relatives, but now I also have to get the approval of a mutt? How ludicrous!
“Princess, do you know what sort of person Bo Jinyan is?”
“I don’t care, nor do I wish to know!”
“Being the Elder’s oldest son, Young Master Bo holds a lofty status in the Blue Tower. His family descended from a lineage of witchcraft and knows plenty of witchcraft and black magic that cannot be explained by modern-day science. This auspicious beast is dozens of times as old as you are.”
Gu Feirou’s brows formed a tight line across her face. She had the feeling that she was listening to a fantasy!
Her unconvinced look prompted Jing Xinze to continue speaking. “The auspicious beast is the Elder’s family treasure. One has to receive its approval before they can become a part of the Elder’s family and qualify to learn their witchcraft. From the moment one starts to learn the craft, one won’t be allowed to leave the Blue Tower without the permission of the royals. Also, their lifespan will be two to five times longer than that of a normal person.”
She burst into derisive laughter. Is he kidding?
“Everyone in the Elder’s family holds an important, respected status in the Blue Tower,” explained the man patiently.
“Quiet!” Her mind felt like a mess.
“You’ll understand everything once you return to the Blue Tower, Princess.”
“I want to see Brother Jingxuan.”
The guard’s expression turned chilly. “He’s currently in the intensive care unit, so private visits aren’t allowed. The Queen ordered Young Master Bo to come to Country L. She hopes that the two of you will be able to develop feelings for each other. Princess, you should stop fooling around with Lin Jingxuan.”
“On what grounds can you, a mere servant, tell me what I should do? Who told you that I was fooling around with Brother Jingxuan? Did you not clearly hear what I said to you? He’s my man!”
After a pause, Jing Xinze said, “Please treat Young Master Bo well. If you disobey the Queen’s orders, I’m afraid that Lin Jingxuan will get into a lot of trouble.”
“Are you threatening me now?” Her face grew pale with fright and fury.
“I wouldn’t dare to do so, Princess. The boys of your harem will be arriving here in a few days. I hope you get healthy as soon as possible so that they’ll be able to teach you the etiquette of the Blue Tower Royalty.”
“Shut up! I told you to keep q—” Cough… She had gotten so furious that her complexion was turning increasingly worse by the minute.
Young Master Bo? Blue Tower Royalty etiquette? What do all these things have to do with me? Nothing! Nothing at all!
“Please get some decent rest, pay attention to your body’s condition, and don’t get angry,” he hastily told her.
“Throw this ugly thing out of the room.” The woman breathed deeply as she eyed the dog, which had climbed up on her bed, with distaste. God knows how many germs and bacteria it has on its body.
After letting out a resigned sigh, the guard carefully shooed Red Bean off the bed since the canine did not allow other people to touch it. It was already somewhat reluctant to have any form of physical contact with Bo Jinyan, much less endure the random touch of others.
“Am I still changing my cornea then?” she asked coldly.
“Of course, you have to! You’ll need to return to the Blue Tower as soon as possible in order to do that.” There was no cornea available for her in this place.
Her eyes shone in malice as she viciously stated her request. “My brother is here, right? Plus, Young Master Bo is a capable man, isn’t he? You want me to return to the Blue Tower and marry Young Master Bo? Sure! As long as they can get hold of Ye Erruo’s cornea and have mine replaced with hers, I’ll head back to the Blue Tower with you guys without further ado. Of course, you’ll have to bring Brother Jingxuan along as well.”
