Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Grant His Wish

"This cake looks delicious." Bai Xifeng stopped at the cake shop.

"Young lady, this is steamed sponge cake. The mixture is very soft and its taste is sweet." The lady, the owner was happy when someone praised her cake.

"I want the whole cake, please." Bai Xifeng said.

Bai Xifeng wanted to take out her money. However, her brother, Bai Tingfeng already paid for the cake. Bai Xifeng was kind of surprised.

"I am paying for this." Bai Tingfeng said.

Bai Xifeng instantly smiled. "Thank you, Big Brother."

"This is nothing. Just buy what you want. I will pay for it." Bai Tingfeng patted Bai Xifeng’s head.

Everyone looked at the woman and man. The onlookers began to discuss about them.

"Oh, they are siblings. No wonder. They seemed to look alike."

"Having such a sweet brother like that makes me disdain my brother."

"If they are sibling, then what’s about the other man? He seems not related to those two."

"Wifey, can I get a bite?" Liu Longwei said.

Everyone’s jaws dropped. Wife? They are married?At such a young age? They suspected that the girl was about 14 to 15 years old.

Bai Tingfeng looked at Liu Longwei sharply wanting to kill him. However, he told himself to calm down as he thought that this prince had a mental illness.

"What? Wifey? You are not married to her yet." Bai Tingfeng said.

"What? She is going to be my wife later. So, I think it is not wrong for me to call her wifey." Liu Longwei argued.

Bai Tingfeng felt that this man was pretending to be stupid when he got point of arguing with him about the matter. Bai Xifeng turned to Liu Longwei.

"Did we agree not to call me ’wifey’?" Bai Xifeng narrowed her eyes.

Liu Longwei changed his expression. "Yes... But I want people to know that you are going to be my wife."

Bai Xifeng stuffed a piece of the sponge cake into Liu Longwei’s mouth.

"We still don’t know about the future. So, stop thinking about that." Bai Xifeng ate the sponge cake.

Liu Longwei chewed the sponge cake that was given to him. ’I already choose you as my wife. You will belong to me no matter what.’

....

Eunuch Ming led Bai Xiang to the throne room. There were other ministers who also waiting for General Bai Xiang’s arrival. Bai Xiang entered the throne room without hesitation. He was not afraid of the enemy who wanted to kill him. So, why should he feel afraid of people in this room?

Emperor Liu Man looked at the person who just entered the throne room. Bai Xiang looked pretty young. He was not like a person who went to war for years. It must be because of the level of his cultivation power.

Why Bai Xiang’s luck was so good? Not only, did he get the breakthrough pill from a powerful alchemist but he even managed to breakthrough to a level that no one managed to breakthrough. It was no doubt that Bai Xiang was the strongest cultivator in this country.

"General Bai, it has been a long time since you came back to Capital City." Emperor Liu Man greeted Bai Xiang.

"It had indeed a long time." Bai Xiang nodded.

"WE heard about the victory. We were very pleased when We heard the news." Emperor Liu Man said.

"It is not only my hard work but also the soldiers who fight in the war." Bai Xiang did not claim it as his personal achievement.

"No need to berate yourself down like that. We know that you are very amazing. You conquered an area for Us." Emperor Liu Man said. "Because of that, We will confer 300 gold coins, 5 spirit bamboo, and calming jade to you."

"Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty. I humbly accept that." Bai Xiang said.

His daughter also told him that the emperor probably would give him something and he must accept them no matter what. His daughter did not want him to refuse anything. Just took whatever the emperor gave. His daughter seemed to know that the emperor could confer something to him.

Well, the truth was Bai Xifeng did not know if the emperor would confer her father. But from what Bai Xifeng watched in the ancient drama, the emperor often conferred something valuable to the general who conquered some land to the emperor.

And that gift often be some money, jewels, jewelry, or land. For someone who liked money, getting something like that would make her happy. Of course, she wanted everything.

"As We wrote in the previous letter, We are willing to grant one of your wishes." Emperor Liu Man said.

Everyone whispered among themselves when they heard the emperor agree to grant Bai Xiang’s wish. They wondered what Bai Xiang would be requested.

"If you need some time to think, We will allow you to think about that." Emperor Liu Man stated.

"No, Your Majesty. You don’t have to wait. I will tell you my wish." Bai Xiang said.

"Oh, you already have one. Then, tell Us. We will grant your wish." Emperor Liu Man smiled.

"I want to cut ties with the people who live in the current General Residence right now." Bai Xiang stated his wish.

"What?" Emperor Liu Man was shocked. He could not believe his ear with what he had heard just now.
