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

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi was a bit taken aback. She buried her face against Xuanyuan Mo’s chest and said sulkily, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to say that. I was too angry about you doing that kind of thing with another woman. You said you only belonged to me before but… Actually, I was jealous so I said that to let you get a taste of jealousy too.”

Xuanyuan Mo slightly curled his lips and planted a gentle kiss on the top of Duanmu Xi’s head. He was happy that she was jealous because of him. He was also madly jealous. Never did he want to get a taste of jealousy again.

“Long Yue came to me afterward that day.”

“Long Yue?” Hearing that, Duanmu Xi slightly frowned. Why didn’t Long Yue tell her about it?

“Yeah. He told me that it was not Lian Zhengyu but me in the cave on the night of the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. I asked him to tell me about it in detail. Then, he told me to ask Lishang and Yu Ying, saying that they knew more. He is very smart and loyal to you.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi nodded. Long Yue was very clever and loyal to her indeed. When they were in the Qinglong Empire, she had seen it through. As such, she accepted him as her secret guard.

“Afterward, I summoned Lishang and Yu Ying and learned that you and I were in the cave that night. However, the next morning, I woke up in the inn with a naked woman lying next to me. And I couldn’t recall what happened the night before. Besides, the seal on my beast god’s power was broken. That woman happens to be of extreme Yin. Thus, I wasn’t suspicious at all. I thought I had slept with her on the full-moon night.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi stared at Xuanyuan Mo and said with excitement, “Impossible. You and she could never do anything on the full-moon night. That night, we… we…” That night, he did it with her in the cave. How could he go to the inn and sleep with that woman… Snow would never do that to her!

Seeing Duanmu Xi’s excited look, Xuanyuan Mo smiled and kissed her on the lips, “Yes. It was you, not that woman who slept with me that night. Do you remember what happened afterward?”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi blushed and shook her head, “No, I don’t. I passed out. I had no idea what happened thereafter. When I woke up again, it was already dawn. At that time, you were not around. I hurriedly went out to ask Phoenix Five and the others. They said that they didn’t see you get out of the cave. When I later saw you in Prince Zhan’s mansion, you had forgotten me.”

Amidst talking, Duanmu Xi’s voice started becoming sorrowful.

Xuanyuan Mo’s heart suddenly ached severely. He subconsciously tightened his arms around Duanmu Xi, “I’m sorry.” He also wanted to recover his memory. Perhaps, he should try that method again.

Duanmu Xi shook her head and said, “It was not your fault. You were invaded by a worm so you forgot me.”

Speaking of the worm, Xuanyuan Mo put on a fierce look, “Who do you think planted the worm in me?”

Duanmu Xi pondered for a while and said, “I think the scared maiden of the Wilderness Holy Region stands the highest chance.”

She used to doubt Xiahou Shan. Afterward, when she knew the Heartless Worm’s effect, she felt the ringleader was not likely to be Xiahou Shan. Currently, the leading suspect was that sacred maiden of the Wilderness Holy Region.

Xuanyuan Mo nodded as if lost in thought. That wolf woman was most suspicious indeed. She suddenly became the sacred maiden of the Wilderness Holy Region. And the worm was exclusive for that region. Most importantly, she had the motive of planting the worm.

Duanmu Xi suddenly thought of something and then looked at Xuanyuan Mo, “Oh right, Consort Hui is also very suspicious. I think she seemed to be stalling on purpose that day by showing me around the Yonghe Palace.”

Consort Hui? A killing intent flashed across Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes.

“Afterward, I went to the cave again and recalled some memory fragments of what happened that night.” Xuanyuan Mo dragged the topic back.

When he thought of her biting his right shoulder in a grimace that day, his eyes glittered with pity, “Was it because of me that you passed out that night…”

“No.” Duanmu Xi interrupted him before Xuanyuan Mo finished talking.

There was a slight flush on Duanmu Xi’s pretty face, “That night, I felt that a rush of potent power burst into my body in the end. I couldn’t stand it so I passed out.”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo was taken aback. Potent power? Was it the beast god’s power? His beast god’s power was too overwhelming for ordinary people. At the thought of that, he was astonished. Then, he grabbed Duanmu Xi’s wrist and took her pulse. His eyebrows were more and more heavily knitted.

Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Mo and also said with a frown, “What’s wrong?”

Xuanyuan Mo gently put down Duanmu Xi’s wrist, “Your spiritual power has been sealed by my beast god’s power. And your gate of Qi has been injured, so your mysterious Qi can’t be exerted temporarily.” Gladly, he only had her spiritual power sealed. If any big problem really happened to her, he would hate himself so badly for sure.

“I know.” Hearing that, Duanmu Xi nodded. Qingfeng had told her about it before.

A glint of mischievousness flashed across Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes. He hung his head and whispered to Duanmu Xi gently, “Do you know I have a way to break your seal?”

His warm breath around Duanmu Xi’s ear made her tremble. At the thought of what Qingfeng said–“Who started the trouble should end it”, Duanmu Xi instantly flushed.

Looking at Duanmu Xi’s bashful appearance, Xuanyuan Mo willed his mind, directly carried her into his arms and walked to the bedside.

Flurried, Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Mo and said anxiously, “Snow, would you please wait for a while? I’m only more than two months pregnant.”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo looked at Duanmu Xi’s belly. His amber eyes instantly became tender. He hung his head and kissed her on the red lips, “Rest assured. I won’t do it before you are three months pregnant.”

He remembered that the imperial doctors had mentioned they couldn’t do it until she was three months pregnant.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi was relaxed at once. She raised her head, put her arms around Xuanyuan Mo’s neck and kissed him on the lips, “Snow, I like you so much!”

The tenderness on the lips made Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes darken, “Do you know there are a lot of things we can do apart from that?”

He continued walking to the bedside.

In the imperial study of the imperial palace of the Baihu Empire, Xuanyuan Lie was reviewing the memorials.

Suddenly, an old man with white hair and beard in golden appeared in the imperial study.

Upon seeing the old man, Xuanyuan Lie was startled. Eunuch Hu aside even cried with fright, “Help! Assassinator! Protect His Highness…”

Upon hearing Eunuch Hu’s cry, the tiger guards in the darkness immediately showed up and stood in front of Xuanyuan Lie.

The old man in golden was dismissive. He just stared at Xuanyuan Lie, neither talking nor moving. He wanted to kill Xuanyuan Lie with a palm. It was due to Yan’s piteous begging that he spared Xuanyuan Lie for the sake of Yan and Mo.

Upon seeing the old man’s amber eyes, Xuanyuan Lie thought of a red figure. He finally recalled who the old man was and immediately waved away Eunuch Hu and those tiger guards, “He is not an assassinator. Just get out.”

Upon hearing the order, the tiger guards immediately disappeared in the imperial study. Eunuch Hu was a bit hesitant, “Your Majesty…”

Xuanyuan Lie cast an unhappy glance at Eunuch Hu. The latter immediately shut up and bowed himself out.

After Eunuch Hu left, Xuanyuan Lie immediately walked to Sir Snow and saluted, “Greetings, Father.”

This was the second time he had seen Sir Snow. He knew that Sir Snow hated him because of Yan’s matter. Sir Snow didn’t even come to attend Mo’s wedding. He wondered what brought Sir Snow here this time.

Hearing that, Sir Snow snorted, “Humph. Father? I dare not be called that way.”

If it were not because Mo didn’t accept Qing, Sir Snow would never meet this man who got Yan killed.

Xuanyuan Lie was somewhat embarrassed but due to a sense of guilt, he was not angry. He could only say nicely, “I wonder what brought you here today.”

Hearing that, Sir Snow directly told Xuanyuan Lie about his purpose of coming here.

Sir Snow’s request put Xuanyuan Mo in an awkward situation but he still agreed to it.

The next morning, Eunuch Hu arrived at Prince Zhan’s mansion.

“Your Highness.” Lishang reached outside Duanmu Xi’s room in Ximo House and gently knocked on the door.

Xuanyuan Mo in the room heard the voice and slightly frowned. He took a glance at the woman sleeping soundly in his arms and wanted to get off the bed but he couldn’t pull his arm out. He could only lower his voice, “What’s up?”

The moment Xuanyuan Mo answered, Duanmu Xi woke up.

Hearing that, Lishang immediately said respectfully, “An imperial edict from His Majesty arrives. Eunuch Hu asks Your Highnesses to receive the edict in the main hall.”

Duanmu Xi blinked her eyes drowsily and looked at Xuanyuan Mo, “What imperial edict?”

Seeing Duanmu Xi’s drowsy look, Xuanyuan Mo slightly curled his lips and lowered his head to kiss her on the red lips, “Nothing. You can sleep a bit longer. I’ll go myself.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi shook her head and slowly sat up, “I’ve been awake. Let’s go and take a look together.” This was the first imperial edict that Mo’s father issued after they got married. She didn’t want others to accuse her of putting on airs and being impolite.

After washing up, they both arrived at the main hall.

Upon seeing them, Eunuch Hu immediately bowed, “Greetings, Prince Zhan and Princess Consort Zhan.”

Xuanyuan Mo said nothing while Duanmu Xi raised her hand, saying, “Eunuch Hu, please drop the formalities.”

“Thank you.” Hearing that, Eunuch Hu extended his gratitude with a bow.

Xuanyuan Mo glimpsed Eunuch Hu and said impatiently, “Read the imperial edict now.”

“Yes.” Eunuch Hu immediately unfolded the imperial edict.

“Pursuant to the Mandate from Heaven, the Emperor hereby makes the announcement. Liqing, the sacred maiden of the Wilderness Holy Region is a personable, talented, virtuous, gentle, modest and courteous woman. Today, she shall be Xuanyuan Mo, Prince Zhan’s side consort and move into Prince Zhan’s mansion from today onward. The wedding shall be held in three months. Respect this.”
