Under the crazy attacks of the phoenix guards, lots of the assassins were killed.

“Leave them alone. Kill the Crown Princess.”

The chief of the assassins glared at Duanmu Xi coldly with a sinister look.

Upon hearing the instruction, a dozen assassins instantly switched their focus and launched attacks on Duanmu Xi.

Seeing the assassins swarming towards Duanmu Xi, Xuanyuan Mo narrowed his eyes and let out an air of blue mysterious Qi, which directly killed two assassins.

Phoenix Five was taken aback by Xuanyuan Mo’s neat attack. He directly killed two assassins ranked above Mysterious King with one move.

He was a 17-year-old Mysterious Emperor! Unbelievable!

“Why are you in a trance? Protect Xi!”

Xuanyuan Mo’s shout instantly woke Phoenix Five up from her trance.

“Yes.”

Her voice was much more respectful than before. Cultivation level prevailed on the Hantian Continent. Since his cultivation level was above hers, he deserved to be respected by her.

The chief of the assassins watched Xuanyuan Mo’s neat attacks and squinted her eyes.

Who was the man? Since when did the Crown Princess have such an escort? It seemed that she had to do it herself.

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Mo felt a rush of potent mysterious Qi was coming from behind.

“Snow, be careful.”

Xuanyuan Mo held Duanmu Xi and leaned aside to dodge it. Then, he started to fight with the chief.

Now, Phoenix Five was badgered by the other assassins, leaving Duanmu Xi unprotected by any phoenix guards.

An assassin approached Duanmu Xi from behind stealthily.

They really viewed her as a total wreck only?

A glint of killing intent flashed across Duanmu Xi’s purple eyes.

She didn’t want to let others know her meridians had been repaired so soon. Yet, since they wanted to court death, she would send them to hell then.

Seeing someone wanted to launch a sneak attack on Duanmu Xi, Xuanyuan Mo was shocked.

“Xi, watch out.”

As he was distracted, Xuanyuan Mo was hit by the blue mysterious Qi of the chief. With a groan, he took tens of meters back, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

Seeing that, Duanmu Xi became furious with stronger killing intent. She was giving off cold killing intent all over, sending a chill down the others’ spines.

When Duanmu Xi wanted to fight back, the assassin who wanted to attack her stealthily suddenly fell to the ground.

The assassin was dead…

Who killed her?

“Xi.”

Duanmu Xi jerked her head up and saw a man standing on a colorful-feathered dragonish eagle in midair.

The man dressed in white was standing against the wind, just like an immortal from heaven. He was so dazzlingly handsome that even Duanmu Xi was staring at him in a trance and even forgot to breathe.

The man in white jumped off the dragonish eagle and stood before Duanmu Xi. Suddenly, he held her into his arms.

“Xi, you are back…”

His murmur was mixed with infinite delight.

Looking at the two of them hugging together, Xuanyuan Mo felt a bit jealous and heartache. He even found it hard to breathe.

“Father…”

Duanmu Xi murmured.

“Does my father also come to this world? It’s very likely. Grandpa didn’t find his corpse back then,” she thought.

So many thoughts whirled around Duanmu Xi’s mind. She was at a loss now.

Phoenix Five couldn’t help raising her eyes heavenward in secret.

“Your Highnesses, how should we dispose of these assassins?”

Huangfu Che let go of Duanmu Xi gently and looked back at the assassins coldly, saying, “Kill them all.”

“Yes.”

They were father and daughter indeed. Even the orders they gave were the same.

With the help of the phoenix guards brought by Huangfu Che, the battle became one-sided.

The chief noticed that the situation was not good for them so she wanted to escape. Yet, she was immediately killed by a rush of cyan spiritual power.

Xuanyuan Mo looked at Huangfu Che with knitted brows.

This was a wind spiritual master ranked as Spiritual Emperor.

As the chief of the assassins was dead, the battle was over shortly. All the assassins were killed.

Huangfu Che stared at the corpses coldly.

“Burn the corpses off.”

Since they dared to attack his daughter, he must burn them into ashes.

“Yes.”

Feeling the fierce air given off by Huangfu Che, Phoenix Five and the other phoenix guards all shuddered.

“Xi, how are you? Are you injured?”

Huangfu Che sized Duanmu Xi up all over several times.

Faced with Huangfu Che’s affectionate care, Duanmu Xi shook her head in bewilderment.

Was he her father? What she felt about him was similar to what she felt about her grandpa. He was like a family to her…

Speaking of injury, Duanmu Xi finally thought of Xuanyuan Mo.

“Snow, are you okay?”

Duanmu Xi stared at Xuanyuan Mo with a worried face, looking him up and down.

“I’m fine. A minor injury only.”

Xuanyuan Mo felt touched and then wiped the blood off his lips. Yet, his eyes were fixed on Huangfu Che.

Huangfu Che also finally paid attention to Xuanyuan Mo.

Xue seemed to mention this young man in black before. It looked like Xi cared about him a lot.

Their gazes met each other fiercely. The phoenix guards lit up the fire to burn the corpses of the assassins.

For the moment, the violent night was ablaze with flames.

The two of them just looked each other in the eye like this. After a long while, Huangfu Che finally turned his gaze away and stared at Duanmu Xi.

“Xi, wouldn’t you introduce him to me?”

“Oh, he is Xuanyuan Mo. He is my…”

“I’m her fiancé.”

Duanmu Xi blushed. What was he talking about?

Seeing Duanmu Xi’s bashful face, Xuanyuan Mo also slightly flushed.

Yet, he didn’t say anything wrong. When Xi accepted his wolf-grained pendant, she had been his fiancée.

“Oh?”

A glimmer of a smile crossed Huangfu Che’s eyes. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Duanmu Xi with a sad face.

“Xi, you have a fiancé now. Why doesn’t your father know about it? Now that you have a fiancé, will you abandon your father? I feel so hurt!”

All the people present were dumbfounded by his words.

Was he still the cold and fierce royal consort?

Xuanyuan Mo was also struck dumb. He stared at Huangfu Che with a red face, frowning regretfully.

This man was Xi’s father. He was too rude to the man just now.

Duanmu Xi stared at Huangfu Che blankly.

He was really her father. Would the empress of the Zhuque Empire look the same as her mother? Did they also come here from her world or…



In Princess Jing’s mansion of the Zhuque Empire.

“Your Highness, you are here. The Princess is waiting for you in the study.”

Seeing Duanmu Qing, Duanmu Shuang’s escort Heimei immediately saluted respectfully.

Duanmu Qing nodded and entered the study.

“Mother, you want to meet me?”

Duanmu Shuang looked at Duanmu Qing, her eyes glittering.

“Qing, you are 17 years old now, right?”

Slightly stunned by the question, Duanmu Qing immediately answered respectfully, “Yes, Mother, I’m 17 years old.”

Duanmu Shuang nodded her head.

“17 years old. It’s time that you should have a prince consort.”

A prince consort?

Duanmu Qing frowned, “You’ve had a candidate?”

Duanmu Shuang’s mouth curved into a meaningful smile.

“The legitimate son of General Si, Si Yunhan.”

He? Duanmu Qing raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Wasn’t he Duanmu Xi’s man?

“What? You don’t like him?” Looking at Duanmu Qing’s straight face, Duanmu Shuang frowned.

“Of course yes.” Duanmu Qing gave a sinister smile.

She liked all the things that belonged to Duanmu Xi.

“Besides, even if I don’t like him, I will marry him anyway.”

Duanmu Qing’s eyes flickered. For the sake of the military power, she would marry him regardless.

The joint marriage of the imperial family never involved love or affection. Likewise, she took in the side consorts and concubines for interest only.

Duanmu Shuang patted Duanmu Qing’s shoulder with satisfaction.

Among her daughters, Duanmu Qing was her favorite just because this daughter was smart and decisive enough. Women’s biggest flaw was being swayed by emotions. And Duanmu Qing didn’t have the problem.
