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

The dark purple clothes fit the boy very well. His light brown hair was gleaming faintly in the sun. His dark face had been well cleaned, which appeared fair-skinned and chubby. His big eyes were rather spirited and yet emotionless. He displayed an air of coldness and pride.

Phoenix Five and the others were all surprised to see the boy’s good-looking face that displayed a distant temperament.

They didn’t expect that this dirty boy turned out to be so good-looking after being cleaned. He seemed as adorable as the boy Shancai of Guanyin. Yet, compared with Shancai, this boy was colder and more elegant with less innocence and vivacity he should have about his age.

Only Duanmu Xi was not surprised at all. She looked at the boy with a smile as if she had known that he should look like this.

Xuanyuan Mo was also poker-faced with composure in his amber eyes.

Lian Zhengyu who was always aloof appeared somewhat abnormal. His face was full of astonishment and his dark green eyes were filled with disbelief.

The boy just looked at Duanmu Xi quietly. She looked even more beautiful when she was dressed in female clothes. He found her quite amicable as if she were a family to him.

Duanmu Xi walked to the boy and crouched down, “What’s your name? Where are you from?”

The boy stared at Duanmu Xi for a while before saying, “Chen.”

He only told her his name but not where he came from.

Upon hearing the name Chen, Lian Zhengyu felt thrilled.

Duanmu Xi didn’t mind at all. She just said with a smile, “Chen. What a nice name! May I call you Chen?”

Chen nodded with a serious face.

Seeing that Chen nodded, Duanmu Xi stroked his head, “Chen, would you like to stay here temporarily?”

Chen didn’t nod until he stared at Duanmu Xi for a while.

“How come the Southern Courtyard is so bustling today?”

All the people turned around upon hearing the voice.

Upon seeing Situ Kong, Duanmu Xi immediately stood up, “Chief Master.”

“Xi, there you are. I heard that you were carried back by Mo today again. How are you? Is everything fine with you?” Situ Kong walked to Duanmu Xi and looked her up and down.

“I’m fine.” Duanmu Xi slightly blushed. Good news never went beyond the gate while bad news spread far and wide. It had been such a while but her being carried back had been widely spread.

Duanmu Xi turned to cast a glance at Xuanyuan Mo. It was Snow’s fault. How could she dare to go out again in the future?

Xuanyuan Mo didn’t take it lightly. He didn’t find anything wrong with carrying her back.

“Great.” Situ Kong nodded and lowered his head only to see Chen. He blinked his eyes and asked, “Who is this boy?”

Duanmu Xi slightly curled her lips, held Chen’s hand and stared at Situ Kong, “He is Chen. He will live in the Southern Courtyard with Chief Master from now on.”

Situ Kong said with a smile, “No problem. I got Zhengyu a few days ago. Now, Chen will live with me, too. In the future, even if Xi doesn’t come to keep me company, I won’t be bored then.”

All the people burst out laughing.

At night, in a room in the South Courtyard of Prince Zhan’s mansion, a man in black suddenly appeared.

The man in black walked to the bedside and stared at the quietly sleeping boy attentively.

The soundly sleeping boy seemed to have sensed someone else’s existence and then suddenly opened his eyes.

Seeing that the boy was awake, the man in black knelt at once.

The boy sat up slowly and didn’t say with a frown until he stared at the man in black for a while, “It’s you!”

The next day, no sooner had Duanmu Xi had breakfast than she rushed to the Southern Courtyard. However, as soon as she got out of Xuelan House, someone got in her way.

Duanmu Xi looked at the aggressive woman in front and then parted her lips, “It’s you.” She hadn’t seen Liqing for quite some days. She thought Liqing had left.

Liqing looked at Duanmu Xi and sneered, “Duanmu Xi, there you are. I’ve finally got to meet you. You stay in the Eastern Courtyard all day long. I thought you wouldn’t dare to come out for you were afraid of me.”

Since she was expelled by Yu Ying before, Liqing had been waiting for Duanmu Xi here every day. Duanmu Xi was always accompanied by Xuanyuan Mo so she couldn’t show herself. Today, he was finally not with Duanmu Xi.

Duanmu Xi slightly curled her lips and arched her eyebrows, “Oh? Are you waiting for me here every day? Is it that you shift your target to me because Snow dislikes you?”

Phoenix Five almost laughed out. She balled her hand into a fist and put her fist at her lips to cover her facial expression.

Huai’er behind Liqing also smiled with her eyes drooping.

“You…” Liqing’s face darkened with her hands clenched in her sleeves and her eyes narrowed maliciously. “Duanmu Xi, you made me do this,” Liqing thought.

She looked at Duanmu Xi and sneered, “How can you say Cousin Mo dislikes me? If he disliked me, why would he sleep with me? If he disliked me, why would he let me carry his baby?”

Then, Liqing put one hand on her waist and stroked her belly with the other hand. With her head in the air, she stared at Duanmu Xi and said proudly, “Duanmu Xi, do you know how passionate Cousin Mo was that night?”

Duanmu Xi’s eyes glistened with a smile, “Oh? How passionate was he? Enlighten me.”

When she saw Duanmu Xi’s indifferent face, Liqing’s complacent face stiffened and her eyes gleamed with malice. “I hate Duanmu Xi so much. Why does she always look like this no matter what I say? This sense of incapability is so damned annoying,” she thought.

Liqing suddenly thought of something. Then, she took out a dagger from her arms and shook it before Duanmu Xi, “This dagger was given by Cousin Mo to me after we slept together. He said that this dagger was made by him and given to me as our love token.”

Duanmu Xi stared at the dagger in Liqing’s hand, her dark purple eyes slightly narrowed. Her dagger given by her grandpa had fallen into Liqing’s hands. No wonder Duanmu Xi couldn’t find it.

Even Phoenix Five behind Duanmu Xi also widened her eyes upon seeing the dagger in Liqing’s hand. Why did this woman have Her Highness’s dagger? It was this woman who stole Her Highness’s dagger.

Seeing that Duanmu Xi was no longer indifferent, Liqing appeared complacent, “What do you say? Are you jealous?”

Duanmu Xi ignored Liqing’s complacency and only stared at the dagger in Liqing’s hand, “Phoenix Five, take my dagger back.”

“Yes,” Phoenix Five immediately replied with a bow, her drooping eyes glistening with excitement. Judging from Her Highness’s tone, Her Highness must be angry. Liqing was such a stupid woman. How dared she steal the thing Her Highness cared about most! She was clearly courting death.

Phoenix Five stepped forward to look at Liqing and curled her lips. She had long hated Liqing. This time, with Her Highness’s order, Phoenix Five must beat her so severely that she couldn’t show off anymore.

“What… What do you want to do?” Liqing looked at Phoenix Five’s sinister smile and subconsciously took a step back, “Here’s the warning. I’m pregnant with Prince Zhan’s baby. If you dare to hurt me, he won’t let you go.”

Phoenix Five smiled sinisterly, “Rest assured. I won’t hit your belly.”

Then, Phoenix Five stuck out her hand and struck a streak of dark blue mysterious Qi at Liqing’s face. The people of the Zhuque Empire cared about their descendants most. She wouldn’t hit Liqing’s belly indeed but she never mentioned not hitting the face.

Faced with the dark blue mysterious Qi coming at her, Liqing directly leaned backward and dodged it.

Phoenix Five struck another palm at Liqing’s face.

As Phoenix Five kept attacking her face, Liqing was a bit flustered and slightly tilted her head, shouting at Huai’er behind, “Huai’er, what are you waiting for? Come and help me.”

Huai’er immediately wanted to go forward but she was stopped. The man directly got into a fight with Huai’er without saying anything.

Phoenix Five said with excitement at once, “Long Yue, your timing is perfect. Stop that maid. Today, I must teach this woman a lesson.”

Phoenix Five directly rushed forward and slapped Liqing in the face.

“Slap…” A slap with mysterious Qi directly made Liqing’s cheek swollen.

“How dare you slap me!” Liqing covered her right cheek and glared at Phoenix Five. She looked as if to eat Phoenix Five alive. She couldn’t believe that Phoenix Five dared to slap her in the face. She had never been hit like this since childhood. She wouldn’t let go of Phoenix Five.

Liqing directly exerted her mysterious Qi to attack Phoenix Five. Given her fierce attacking momentum, she didn’t look fragile at all.

Phoenix Five looked at the fierce Liqing with her lips curved into a sneer. Now, Liqing finally showed her true colors. This was interesting.

Phoenix Five and Liqing were fighting fiercely. Long Yue and Huai’er were also fighting rather fiercely.

Duanmu Xi looked at Huai’er fighting with Long Yue in surprise. This maid could get through so many rounds with Long Yue in the fight. Although Long Yue didn’t exert his full strength, Huai’er was not simple indeed. Probably, she was even more competent than Liqing.

Huai’er looked at Long Yue in astonishment. He should haven’t exerted his full strength and only wanted to stop her from helping Liqing. His cultivation must be above hers. Princess Consort Zhan had so many competent guards around! Now, she and Liqing couldn’t even approach Duanmu Xi, let alone complete their missions.

Phoenix Five kept slapping Liqing in the face and every slap was merciless. Liqing was no match for Phoenix Five in terms of cultivation so she could only keep dodging in the end.

Looking at the arrogant Phoenix Five, Liqing reached her hand into her arms with her eyes glistening with fierceness. She must let Phoenix Five have a taste of the Golden Silkworm and suffer.

Liqing suddenly saw a familiar figure walking in this direction and then put the Golden Silkworm back. Faced with Phoenix Five’s fierce attacks, she charged forward rather than dodged.

“Slap…” With another slap, Liqing’s left cheek was swollen this time.

However, this time, Liqing didn’t shout. Instead, she slumped to the ground and covered her belly in a grimace.

Phoenix Five looked at Liqing falling to the ground and blinked her eyes in confusion. What was this woman doing? It was her face that Phoenix Five hit. Why did this woman cover her belly? Besides, she could have dodged it but she seemed to deliberately let Phoenix Five slap her face.

“What are you doing?” While Phoenix Five was confused, a cold voice sounded.
