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

Lian Zhengyu’s words made Xuanyuan Mo instinctively frown and feel somewhat jealous.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Hao sneered. Young General Lian was clearly lying through his teeth. Xuanyuan Hao knew the truth best. Last night, he had fought with Lian Zhengyu for the whole night.

Duanmu Xi also stared at Lian Zhengyu in astonishment. Why did he lie? She was not with him last night.

Around 9 p.m. last night, she looked for Snow with Qingfeng and then stayed with Snow in the cave. Now, Snow didn’t remember her. She had no other witness to testify her at all. However, she didn’t need any witnesses either. She believed that truth would speak for itself. Xiahou Shan was not killed by her. No matter what Zhuge Weiming asked, the fact couldn’t be changed.

Hearing that, Zhuge Weiming frowned and narrowed his eyes sinisterly. What did Lian Zhengyu mean? Did Lian Zhengyu know what he was talking about? Which side did Lian Zhengyu take? Did Lian Zhengyu know that his reply had ruined Zhuge Weiming’s plan?

“Was you really with Crown Princess of Qinglong around 9 p.m. last night?”

Zhuge Weiming’s voice was cold with his eyes full of warning.

“Yes.” Lian Zhengyu directly turned his head and didn’t even cast a glance at Zhuge Weiming.

He had followed her since she got out of the Yonghe Palace last night. He didn’t lose sight of her until she entered the cave. Therefore, he knew that Xiahou Shan was not killed by her.

Lian Zhengyu’s ignorance made Zhuge Weiming’s eyes blazing with fierceness. Anger simmered inside Zhuge Weiming. He took a deep breath and then turned his gaze from Lian Zhengyu to look at Duanmu Xi, “Were you really together last night?”

Duanmu Xi looked at Lian Zhengyu only to see that he was staring at her too. He looked expressionless but she could tell from his dark green eyes that he was a bit nervous and expectant.

Duanmu Xi subconsciously answered, “Yes.”

As Duanmu Xi uttered the reply, Lian Zhengyu finally got relaxed and loosened his clenched fists in the sleeves.

At the sight of the dark green eyes, Duanmu Xi’s purple eyes slightly glistened. This was the first time that she had lied only for that pure heart.

Xuanyuan Hao also looked at Duanmu Xi in surprise. He didn’t expect that she would echo Lian Zhengyu’s lie.

On the contrary, the moment that Xuanyuan Mo heard Duanmu Xi’s reply, the disgruntlement on his face was replaced with cold sternness and a shimmer of killing Qi flashed across his amber eyes.

Somehow, he felt so uncomfortable about hearing that she was with another man last night and even had the impulse to kill that man. What was wrong with him? This was so not him.

Zhuge Weiming also looked really resentful now. His black eyes were full of fury and indignation. These two people acted in collusion in plain sight! Most irritatingly, Lian Zhengyu was helping an outsider set against him. What an ungrateful soul!

Duanmu Xi’s reply caused an uproar among the crowd.

“Crown Princess of Zhuque and Young General Lian were really together last night!”

“What could they do so late at night?”

“Alas. She claimed that she loved Prince Zhan only and would like to give up all the other men for him the other day. However, she was with another man only a few days later. Crown Princess’s mind is so complicated and unpredictable!”

“Stop it. Don’t you see Prince Zhan is so angry now?”

Xuanyuan Lie on the throne glanced at the people down there, his eyes slightly glistening. What was wrong with Mo and Crown Princess of Zhuque? He had a feeling that something seemed to be different.

“Since Crown Princess of Zhuque has a witness and the witness is absolutely creditable. I think Princess of Xuanwu’s death should have nothing to do with her. Prince Regent of Xuanwu, what do you think?”

Then, Xuanyuan Lie stared at Zhuge Weiming who looked disgruntled aside.

All the people nodded inwardly upon hearing that. His Majesty had made a good point. Crown Princess of Zhuque had an alibi and the witness was Young General Lian of the Xuanwu Empire. It was said that Young General Lian was the cousin of Princess of Xuanwu. Even Princess of Xuanwu’s cousin testified for Crown Princess of Zhuque. It appeared that Princess of Xuanwu was not killed by Crown Princess of Zhuque indeed.

Hearing that, Zhuge Weiming took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He looked at Xuanyuan Lie and said, “Since Young General Lian testifies for Crown Princess of Qinglong, she cannot be the murderer then. However, now that our princess was killed in the Baihu Empire, you Baihu people are surely accountable. Your Majesty, please find out the murderer as soon as possible to do us justice.”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Lie slightly squinted. He showed no fear for the threat in Zhuge Weiming’s words and said seriously, “Xuanwu and Baihu are on good terms for generations. I’m sorry for the loss of your princess. Prince Regent, please rest assured. We will do our best to investigate the murder.”

Zhuge Weiming got the brush-off and felt displeased. Once again, Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo were targeted by him then.

“Prince Zhan, what is your decision about the marriage union? His Majesty promised to give me a reply at the banquet of the Mid-Autumn Festival but you left the banquet early last night. Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, do you have an answer now?”

As Zhuge Weiming said that, Duanmu Xi was the most nervous one. In the past, she might not be worried about how Snow would choose but now, Snow didn’t remember her at all. Currently, she was not confident at all. She had no idea whether Snow would choose her.

Xuanyuan Lie who used to be most nervous about this matter was rather composed now. He had thought it through these days. He wouldn’t force Mo to stay in Baihu and take the throne. He wouldn’t force his son to do anything reluctantly. No matter what choice Mo made, he wouldn’t object anymore. Even if Mo chose to marry into Zhuque, he would accept it then.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo slightly frowned. What answer? He had forgotten most of his memories. He had no idea what Zhuge Weiming was talking about. How could he have any answer?

Looking at Xuanyuan Mo’s confused facial expression, Xuanyuan Hao felt mixed feelings. Xuanyuan Mo did forget her. It meant that they really… At the thought of that, he felt as if there were a hole in his heart. It was even painful for him to breathe.

“What marriage union?”

His voice was so cold that Zhuge Weiming felt frightened deep inside. Prince Zhan was really as cold and ruthless as the rumor.

Zhuge Weiming suppressed his fear and braced himself to say, “Of course the marriage union between Xuanwu and Baihu. Although our eldest princess has passed away, we have many other princesses. If you agree to the marriage union with Xuanwu, I will report this to our emperor right away and then send another princess to marry you. What do you think?”

“I disagree. I’m not interested in the women of the Xuanwu Empire.” Xuanyuan Mo looked cold and expressionless. He didn’t show any respect for Zhuge Weiming at all.

He had no interest in not only the women of the Xuanwu Empire but also all the women. Over the hundreds of thousands of years, there were so many women trying to seduce him. They all ended up disappearing into ashes. With those women as the lessons, no women dared to seduce him then.

He suddenly thought of the wolf woman who took his virginity. If it were not because she broke the seal of the power of the beast god for him, she would have been dead for contaminating his body.

Xuanyuan Mo’s rude rejection made Zhuge Weiming a bit angry, “Since you object to the marriage union with our Xuanwu Empire, it means that you will choose Crown Princess of Qinglong?”

Hearing Zhuge Weiming’s words, all the people just looked at Xuanyuan Mo and waited for his answer intently.

Duanmu Xi also looked at Xuanyuan Mo nervously, her clenched hands full of sweat. She was nervous and expectant. She hoped that he would choose her. Or, maybe she was hoping that her Snow could come back.

Hearing the words–“Crown Princess of Qinglong”, Xuanyuan Mo was taken aback with his amber eyes slightly glistening but he didn’t answer.

As he didn’t answer, Zhuge Weiming took it as a yes and then felt anxious, “Prince Zhan, you must consider it carefully. Crown Princess of Qinglong is a good choice but you will be laughed at by all the men in the world if you, a noble prince, marry into a woman’s family.”

A glint of fierceness flashed across Duanmu Xi’s dark purple eyes. She cast threatening eyes at Zhuge Weiming. This man was so annoying.

To marry into her family? Xuanyuan Mo picked his ear and felt that he had heard the most hilarious joke.

How could the beast god marry into a woman’s family? He slightly turned around to look at Duanmu Xi and slightly squinted. How dared this woman ask the beast god to marry into her family?

Staring at Xuanyuan Mo’s dismissive eyes, Duanmu Xi felt her heart aching so severely. He was not her Snow indeed. She shouldn’t be expectant.

She looked at Xuanyuan Mo and said seriously word by word, “It is Snow I want to marry. Only Snow is qualified to be my husband. I won’t condescend to marry anyone else.”

A shimmer of anger flashed across Xuanyuan Mo’s amber eyes. What did she mean? Was she saying that he, the beast god, was no match for Snow? She wouldn’t condescend to marry him? Such being the case, he must see how she would choose.

They stared at each other. Xuanyuan Mo looked at Duanmu Xi and parted his lips, “I pick you.”

There was no affection but coldness in his voice.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi was taken aback. She goggled at Xuanyuan Mo in disbelief. What did he say? He picked her? Did she mishear or did he misspeak?

Xuanyuan Hao was also shocked. Didn’t Xuanyuan Mo lose his memory? Why did Xuanyuan Mo still pick her? What on earth went wrong?

The officials all looked as if taking a tumble. They knew that their stern-faced prince would pick Crown Princess of Zhuque!

Xuanyuan Lie was not surprised at all, either. He had long known his son’s answer.

Zhuge Weiming looked so angry with his black eyes filled with deep worry. The other three empires were becoming alliances. How should Xuanwu protect itself?

While the people present had different facial expressions, Xuanyuan Mo gave his reply.

“I pick you but you need to marry into my family rather than I marry into yours. I’ll take you as my wife.”
