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

Xuanyuan Mo pinched his brows with fatigue and put down the document. He walked to the window and opened it, staring at the sun and the moon alternating in the sky. His eyes were full of affection.

His wife had been away from him for 16 days. He wondered where they had reached.

Irritably, Yu Ying had sent only one letter to him within 16 days. It was not even a letter but a note. It seemed that Yu Ying didn’t want to be a secret guard anymore.

Yu Ying, who was in the Wilderness Jungle, suddenly sneezed and opened his eyes in a trance. Seeing that everyone was still sleeping, he took a glance at Phoenix Fourteen who was sleeping soundly not far away and cracked a faint smile. He closed his eyes with satisfaction again.

“Your Highness,” Yu Feng said and knocked on the door.

“Come in.” His cold voice carried a little fatigue.

Hearing Xuanyuan Mo’s fatigued voice, Yu Feng subconsciously frowned, pushed open the door and looked at Xuanyuan Mo standing by the window. His eyes glittered a bit.

Judging from his appearance, His Highness couldn’t have slept last night. It seemed that His Highness rarely slept since Her Highness left. As this went on, His Highness couldn’t stand it anymore!

“Your Highness, Yu Ying has sent news here.” Yu Feng passed a note over.

Xuanyuan Mo’s amber eyes sparkled and then he strode towards Yu Feng.

Within an instant, the note disappeared from Yu Feng’s hand. Seeing that Xuanyuan Mo was reading the note anxiously, Yu Feng suddenly kind of envied Yu Ying.

Ten minutes later, Xuanyuan Mo was still staring at the note.

Yu Feng slightly frowned. What on earth did Yu Ying write to make His Highness read it for so long? It was merely a small note. There shouldn’t be many words on it!

Xuanyuan Mo stared at the note, his amber eyes burning with rage. Yu Ying’s note wrote, “We’ve arrived at the Wilderness Jungle. Everything is going well.”

The note included ten words in total, even fewer than the words of the secret guards’ reports.

Xuanyuan Mo directly crushed the note into ashes. He looked at Yu Feng and said with angry eyes, “Send a message to Yu Ying and tell him if he can’t write, learn how to write then. If he can’t even do such a simple thing, he should quit being the secret guard and directly train the Iron Eagle for me.” His voice was so cold as if he were to lose his temper.

Yu Feng shivered and didn’t admire Yu Ying at all now.

“Yes, I’m on it,” Yu Ying said and ran out without even wiping the sweat off his forehead.

…

In the Wilderness Jungle, after a whole night’s rest, everyone continued heading into the depths of the jungle in spirit.

Yet, they encountered a lot more hardships than yesterday. They were faced with denser colorful miasmas and more poisonous things. If one was not strong enough, he could hardly advance here. So, they paid more attention to the path in case of stepping on something they shouldn’t step on.

Duanmu Xi rode on Zimei while Phoenix Five and Long Yue followed Duanmu Xi closely with an eye on the surroundings.

Suddenly, a rustle came. Everyone tensed themselves and listened attentively.

Yu Ying and Phoenix Fourteen heard the familiar rustling sound and exchanged glances warily.

At the thought of the small green snake flying off the tree last night, Yu Ying jerked up his head and looked at the tree aside. Instantly, his face turned somewhat pale.

“Everybody be careful. There are snakes in the trees.” Yu Ying immediately stood in front of Duanmu Xi and meanwhile dragged Phoenix Fourteen to him.

The poisonous snakes in the trees seemed able to understand Yu Ying’s words. While Yu Ying spoke, those big snakes entrenched in the tree all flew to them.

Long Yue and the others all drew out their weapons and surrounded Duanmu Xi and Situ Kong.

Seeing that, Duanmu Xi took out her silver dagger and looked ahead warily.

Situ Kong looked at the green snakes falling from the sky and knitted his eyebrows subconsciously, “Stay alert! These are Flying Green Tendrils.”

Flying Green Tendrils? When they heard the name, their blood froze instantly. They couldn’t believe that there would be Flying Green Tendrils in the jungle. Flying Green Tendrils were not easy to deal with!

Duanmu Xi also frowned. She had learned about Flying Green Tendrils from the book. Back then, she found the name quite special so she paid a little more attention to it.

Flying Green Tendrils were not level-nine wood spiritual beasts. Unlike the ordinary snake spiritual beasts, Flying Green Tendrils never slithered on the ground. They liked being entrenched in the tree and often flew among trees. Because they resembled the green leaves in terms of color, they were named Flying Green Tendrils.

Legend had it that Flying Green Tendrils were rather poisonous. If one got bitten by this kind of snake, he would directly die.

Everyone struggled to wield their swords or sabers. Yet, there were too many Flying Green Tendrils to kill.

Seeing that more and more Flying Green Tendrils were coming, Situ Kong was a bit worried. He knew that realgar powder would hardly work but he still sprinkled it in the air.

As Situ Kong expected, the realgar powder quickly dropped to the ground after it was sprinkled. It could rarely work on the Flying Green Tendrils flying in the air.

Seeing a Flying Green Tendril was about to bite Phoenix Five, Duanmu Xi was astonished. Without hesitation, she threw her dagger out.

Right before Duanmu Xi’s dagger hit the Flying Green Tendril, it was broken into two halves and dropped to the ground.

Phoenix Five stared at the dissected snake and felt a chill down her spine. Even her shins were a bit trembling.

Long Yue looked at Phoenix Five’s terrified face and wanted to comfort her. He went forward to hold her into his arms, saying gently, “Don’t be afraid. You’re fine now.”

Phoenix Five found the affection in Long Yue’s eyes. She wanted to comfort him when she saw a Flying Green Tendril coming at the back of Long Yue. Without hesitation, she turned around and stood in front of him. Upon seeing the scene, Duanmu Xi got nervous and willed her mind. The dagger that had stopped in midair flew toward the Flying Green Tendril quickly.

The dagger directly went through the Flying Green Tendril’s belly. As a result, the Flying Green Tendril couldn’t fly up anymore. It died after struggling for a bit.

Long Yue and Phoenix Five came to their senses. They both turned to look at Duanmu Xi and said with clasped hands, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

Duanmu Xi drew back her dagger and glimpsed the Flying Green Tendril on the ground, saying with lingering fear, “I’m glad that you’re fine.”

Situ Kong felt retrospective fear and then glanced at everyone, shouting, “The Flying Green Tendril is severely venomous. Once you get bitten, even the Alexipharmic Pill won’t work. So, everybody must be careful.”

Hearing that, everyone looked grim and focused more on dealing with the Flying Green Tendrils coming at them.

Yu Ying looked at the Flying Green Tendrils in midair and frowned. He had a foreboding of danger. The Flying Green Tendrils were very similar to the small green snake he beat to death yesterday, except that the green snake was very small and thin while today’s Flying Green Tendrils were obviously big and thick.

The biggest Flying Green Tendril entrenched in the tree was staring at the melee. Its eyes immediately became scarlet red after it caught sight of Yu Ying. It stuck out its tongue at Yu Ying and hissed.

The hissing sound was like a stereo sound, reverberating above Duanmu Xi and the others constantly.

As the Flying Green Tendril hissed, all its peers seemed to be encouraged. They all charged forward desperately but rather than attack randomly, they all rushed toward Yu Ying alone.

Yu Ying was startled. He directly pushed Phoenix Fourteen out. Instead of staying in front of Duanmu Xi, he dashed aside. He had guessed it right. These Flying Green Tendrils must be here to seek revenge for the small green snake. The small green snake he killed yesterday should be a Flying Green Tendril too and its position must be quite high.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden scene.

Phoenix Fourteen was confused about being pushed by Yu Ying but she was simple-minded. Seeing so many Flying Green Tendrils rushing towards Yu Ying, Phoenix Fourteen directly dashed toward Yu Ying without thinking much, “Oh no, help Yu Ying.” Staring at the biggest Flying Green Tendril in the tree, Duanmu Xi seemed to understand something and immediately shouted at the stupefied people.

Everyone finally came to their senses after hearing Duanmu Xi’s shout. Yu Ying was in danger. They didn’t dare to hesitate. Instead, they all charged forward with their weapons.

Not only they but also a dozen men in black showing up from nowhere rushed toward the Flying Green Tendrils.

Duanmu Xi looked at the men in black, her eyes flashing. They should be the secret guards sent by Snow.

With everyone’s help, Yu Ying was obviously less burdened.

The biggest Flying Green Tendril in the tree saw there had been more people. Its red triangle eyes slightly flashed. It drew back its long tongue. The hissing sound turned into a rustling sound. The rustling sound was rhythmed rather than messy.

Those Flying Green Tendrils lined up upon hearing the rustling sound. They only attacked Yu Ying instead of others. No matter how competent Yu Ying was, he had a pair of eyes and two hands. Tens of Flying Green Tendrils attacked Yu Ying from the front and the back. Yu Ying couldn’t deal with the attacks from both directions at the same time.

Yu Ying gritted his teeth. Regardless of the several Flying Green Tendrils behind, he focused on coping with the Flying Green Tendrils in front.

Long Yue and the others meant to help Yu Ying, but those Flying Green Tendrils directly surrounded Yu Ying. The others couldn’t get into the encirclement of the Flying Green Tendrils but stayed outside to kill the Flying Green Tendrils.

Seeing that those Flying Green Tendrils were about to bite Yu Ying, everyone was burning with anxiety. Phoenix Fourteen’s heart rose in her throat with shock. Looking at Flying Green Tendrils flying toward Yu Ying from the tree, Phoenix Fourteen had an idea and tapped the tree aside. With the back force, she flew at Yu Ying.

Phoenix Fourteen arrived behind Yu Ying and could only resist two Flying Green Tendrils’ attacks for Yu Ying in time.

Phoenix Fourteen let out a groan and clenched her arm.

Yu Ying had his heart in his mouth upon hearing Phoenix Fourteen’s groan and even stopped breathing. His face turned pale. He didn’t even dare to take a look at Phoenix Fourteen.
