Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King

Oh no, she had no idea how long she had been in here. Grandpa and the others would worry about her if she stayed here for too long.

“Lanze, Hongling, Lyuzhu, Zimei, all of you come out.”

As Duanmu Xi summoned, four mythical creatures immediately showed up in the space of void.

Staring at the four mythical creatures in front, Duanmu Xi leaped on the back of Zimei.

“Think about a solution for me to get out of here.” Duanmu Xi glanced over the four mythical creatures and eventually settled her gaze on Hongling.

“Hongling, do you have any idea to get me out?” It was Hongling that asked her to enter the Longyin Hall. Now, it should have a way to get her out of here.

At the moment, with its eyes closed, Hongling was feeling the Qi that was extremely familiar to it in the space of void.

“Hongling?” Duanmu Xi got no response and then called it gently again.

The three other mythical creatures all turned to look at Hongling.

Hongling couldn’t hear Duanmu Xi calling it or care about the others’ eyes. It flew to the air and hovered again and again, chirping clearly, as if summoning something.

Duanmu Xi slightly frowned. What was wrong with Hongling? She rarely saw it act with such thrill. Hongling always showed an air of detachment. Even when it was with the three other mythical creatures, it still behaved in an elegant and proud manner.

Suddenly, a gale blew over. Duanmu Xi immediately covered her face with sleeves and faintly heard a dragon roaring.

The dragon’s roar came from far away and gradually became clearer.

Duanmu Xi looked up at the sky and felt a flash of cyan lightning sweep across her eyes rapidly.

It was…a cyan dragon. Duanmu Xi looked at the cyan dragon twirling around Hongling with excitement in midair and widened her eyes in shock. She didn’t expect that the guarding mythical creature of the Qinglong Empire should appear in the space of void.

The cyan dragon and the flaming fiery phoenix intertwined together, circling around in the air. They looked like a couple who had been separated for many years pouring out their hearts to each other.

Duanmu Xi stared at the beautiful scene and thought of the move she created on her own–Auspicious Dragon and Phoenix. The current cyan dragon and the fiery phoenix were like a real version of “Auspicious Dragon and Phoenix”.

The dragon and the phoenix circled around in the air for quite a while and finally stopped. They both landed on the ground in human form.

“Feng, this is my mistress.” Hongling dragged the handsome man to Duanmu Xi.

The cyan dragon looked at the beautiful girl before him, his cyan black eyes glistening. It was her who would gather the bloodlines of the four empires and become the mistress of the four mythical creatures. This was also her destiny in this life.

While the cyan dragon was staring at Duanmu Xi, she was also observing him. He was the cyan dragon, the leader of the four mythical creatures. She had been interested in him in her previous life. He looked so attractive that he didn’t seem real at all. His cyan and black eyes just indicated that he looked wise. Dressed in cyan, he appeared so elegant. Admittedly, he and Hongling made a perfect couple.

“Do you want to get out?” The cyan dragon’s voice was as gentle as he looked.

Duanmu Xi was dazed and then nodded, “Yes.”

Hearing that, the cyan dragon cracked a sinister smile that was not aligned with his temperament, “You can go out but you must become a level-nine Wind Spiritual Deity first.”

Duanmu Xi was taken aback to hear that and thought that she couldn’t get out until she became a level-nine Wind Spiritual Deity.

Duanmu Xi lay prone on Zimei’s back in depression. A level-nine Wind Spiritual Deity? Did she have to spend several years in this place? She felt so regretful. She shouldn’t have broken into this place. Now, she just couldn’t get out.

The next moment, the cyan dragon just gave Duanmu Xi another blow, “You are a level-three Wind Spiritual Emperor now. It takes ordinary people more than twenty years to become a level-nine Wind Spiritual Deity. On the contrary, you are quite talented and have eaten the wind spiritual fruit. Besides, the wind spiritual power in this place is very pure. I think you can get out in less than three years.”

Duanmu Xi was completely stricken now. Three years again! She was going crazy! She looked around. Even if she wanted to vent her anger by hitting the wall or stamping her feet, she still couldn’t.

“You had better start cultivating now. The earlier you become a level-nine Wind Spiritual Deity, the earlier I can take you out,” the cyan dragon glimpsed the frustrated Duanmu Xi and said indifferently.

Duanmu Xi knew that the cyan dragon was right and jumped off Zimei resignedly. Then, she started to cultivate.

In the Eastern Palace.

“Here arrives Princess Yuehua.”

As the eunuch chanted, Huangfu Jing dressed in fine clothes arrived slowly. Seeing Huangfu Cang sitting on the seat of honor in the hall, she curtsied, “Father.”

Huangfu Cang cast a glance at Huangfu Jing. He was still expressionless but his black eyes were full of pain.

“Kneel.”

The sudden fierce voice just freaked Huangfu Jing out. She didn’t dare to take it lightly and immediately knelt before Huangfu Cang docilely. At the thought of what she had done with her mother, Huangfu Jing started to feel fretful.

“Where is Xi?” Huangfu Cang cut to the chase. Now, he only wanted to know Xi’s whereabouts.

He wanted to ask her about this matter indeed. Thinking of what her mother had told her, Huangfu Jing suppressed her perturbation and stared at Huangfu Cang in confusion, “Who is Xi?”

Huangfu Cang slightly narrowed his black eyes, “Xi is Che’s daughter. She has been conferred as Princess Qinglian this morning.”

“Oh, she is my niece then. I met her at the banquet last night.” Huangfu Jing glimpsed the fierce face of Huangfu Che and pretended to take a tumble.

Huangfu Cang thumped the table and shouted, “You are still quibbling. Didn’t you send your eunuch to invite Xi to the Longyin Hall for a party this afternoon? How can you not know who Xi is?”

“I didn’t send anyone to invite Xi at all. It must be someone else who did it in my name and wanted to set me up! Father, you must do me justice!” Huangfu Jing tried her best to defend herself but the flurry in her eyes just gave her away.

Huangfu Cang looked at Huangfu Jing with disappointment in his eyes, “Did you really not send anyone to invite Xi?”

Huangfu Jing didn’t dare to look at his eyes that were filled with disappointment at all. She slightly turned around, “I didn’t.”

Hearing her reply, Huangfu Cang closed his eyes in bitter sorrow. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were completely cold, “Bring him here and show him to her.”

When she saw clearly the body carried here by the guards, Huangfu Jing widened her eyes in horror.

Why was he here? She had clearly told the hidden guards to throw his body into a dry well.

“Phoenix Five.” Huangfu Cang looked at Phoenix Five behind Duanmu Xue and ordered, “Go and confirm whether that was the eunuch who came to invite Xi this afternoon.”

“Yes,” Phoenix Five replied and then strode forward to check the eunuch who died without closing his eyes. Then, she turned around to bow to Huangfu Cang, saying, “Yes, it was him.”

Huangfu Cang turned to look at Huangfu Jing again who still appeared horrified, asking in a fierce voice, “What else do you want to say now?”

Hearing that, Huangfu Jing sat on her shanks despairingly. She couldn’t defend herself now. It wouldn’t make any difference.

When he saw Huangfu Jing’s reaction, Huangfu Cang’s eyes gleamed, “I’ll give you one more chance. As long as you tell me Xi’s whereabouts, I can spare your life.”

After all, Huangfu Jing was his daughter. As long as Xi was fine, he could spare Huangfu Jing’s life.

Huangfu Jing shuddered upon hearing that and immediately came clean about what she and Consort Qin had done this afternoon.

After hearing that Duanmu Xi didn’t come out after entering the Longyin Hall, Huangfu Cang just knitted his eyebrows. All the evidence just showed that Xi had entered the Longyin Hall but he found no one in there.

“Take her down now.”

After the guards took Huangfu Jing down, Huangfu Cang stared at Huangfu Che, saying, “Che, let’s go to the Longyin Hall again.”

“OK.”

“That’s not necessary,” two people said in unison.

Huangfu Cang and Huangfu Che looked at Duanmu Xue at the same time.

“Che, do you forget that Xi disappeared in the Fengming Hall for three years?” Duanmu Xue asked Huangfu Che.

Huangfu Che took a tumble. This was exactly the same as what happened in the Fengming Hall back then! He just didn’t associate the current situation with that. He was too worried to think straight!

Huangfu Cang stared at the two of them saying something so unintelligible and just got even more anxious, “What on earth is going on?”

Hearing that, Huangfu Che briefed him about the previous situation.

After hearing Huangfu Che out, Huangfu Cang was thrilled for quite a long while. Then, he slowly said, “You are saying that Xi has gone to another space through the Longyin Hall?”

Huangfu Che nodded, “I guess so. Back then, Xi also entered the Fengming Hall and afterward, she got to Flame Tower and spent three years there. In the end, she didn’t get out of the Fengming Hall until she contracted with Rosefinch.”

Huangfu Cang slightly frowned. So, Xi couldn’t get out until she contracted with the mythical creature of the cyan dragon too?

Now, he had mixed feelings. He was quite relieved to know that Xi was safe but upon thinking that the guarding mythical creature of the Qinglong Empire would be contracted with her, he was happy for her and meanwhile felt worried about the Qinglong Empire that would lose the protection of the cyan dragon.

At that time, he also wanted Che to contract with the cyan dragon but it was only because Che would be the future emperor of the Qinglong Empire.

Apart from Huangfu Cang, Duanmu Xue had complicated feelings too. As a mother, of course she hoped that her kid could contract with the mythical creature of the cyan dragon. Nevertheless, as an empress, she knew how important the cyan dragon was for the Qinglong Empire. If Xi really contracted with the cyan dragon, she would probably be kept in the Qinglong Empire. In that case, what about the Zhuque Empire?

Only Huangfu Che didn’t think that much. He was sheerly happy for Duanmu Xi. Actually, his father also had asked him to go to the Longyin Hall to look for the cyan dragon before. Unfortunately, he had the wind spiritual power indeed but he didn’t have the lucky chance to contract with the cyan dragon. If Xi really did, it would kind of make up for his regret.

And Xuanyuan Mo only cared about when Duanmu Xi could get out. As to whether she could contract with the mythical creature, he didn’t care at all.

In the Longxiang Palace, Huangfu Cang wrote three imperial edicts at a stretch.

Huangfu Cang took a last glance at the imperial edict about appointing the successor of the throne and had it stamped with the jade seal.

Maybe it was Heaven’s will to take her to him. Whether she could succeed in contracting with the cyan dragon, this would be the best solution. If she failed, the imperial edict would be able to save her life; if she made it, it could keep her in the Qinglong Empire then.
