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

Hearing the desolate voice, Duanmu Xi frowned. What was going on? She had never heard the voice before, but why did she find it so familiar?

Duanmu Xi pushed that man away. When she met his gaze, her brows furrowed. His eyes were so sorrowful that she couldn’t help feeling sorry for him. The affection in his eyes made Duanmu Xi feel uneasy.

Who on earth was this man? Why did he look at her this way? And she couldn’t see clearly his face except for the sad eyes. It was not that he was wearing a mask. Instead, his face was enshrouded in the fog, so it was hard for her to recognize his face.

While Duanmu Xi was trying to recognize the face in the fog, that man stroked her face, “Yun Xi, I’ve waited for you over the past few centuries. Thankfully, you finally came.” His sad eyes were filled with affection.

The cold feeling on her face made Duanmu Xi shiver a bit. She subconsciously took two steps back and looked into that man’s eyes, “You’re mistaken. I’m not Yun Xi.” What was wrong with him? Why did he touch her without permission?

Looking at Duanmu Xi’s indifferent and distant appearance, that man had a glimmer of sorrow in his eyes and took a deep breath, saying to her, “I know. I know you’re Duanmu Xi now. You came from the 21st century. However, I’m not mistaken, because you were Yun Xi a few centuries ago.”

Duanmu Xi frowned and slightly narrowed her dark purple eyes, “Who on earth are you?” He knew that she came from another world. She had never told anyone about the secret, not even Snow. Besides, he said that she was called Yun Xi a few centuries ago. What did he mean?

That man cracked a bitter smile, “You still forgot me.” His voice was melancholy and sorrowful.

Duanmu Xi’s dark purple eyes flickered. Why did she feel sad upon hearing his words? Who on earth was he? What did he have to do with her?

“Look at me. Do you still not remember me?” With that, the man took one step forward. The fog on his face gradually faded away. Duanmu Xi finally saw clearly his face.

He was rather good-looking, displaying a kind of pure beauty. He seemed charming yet not coquettish. Dressed in a suit of purple clothes and a layer of white silk outfit, he looked rather ethereal and dreamy. His brown long hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin. The silver snake-shaped sign on his forehead entirely demonstrated his charm. His pure pupils and perfect phoenix eyes formed an extreme demeanor. His thin lips as well as his face were ghastly pale, revealing an elegant air and a kind of gloomy beauty. Such a person was rather appealing. Duanmu Xi just couldn’t hate him.

After watching him for a while, Duanmu Xi said lightly, “I’m sorry.” This man was charming and gave her a sense of deja vu, but she didn’t know him indeed.

The pure eyes of the man in purple dimmed, “Follow me.” Then, the man turned to walk inside.

Duanmu Xi pondered for a moment with a frown and still followed him.

The man in purple led Duanmu Xi into a secret chamber. There was a mirror in the middle of the chamber.

Duanmu Xi gazed at the big mirror and knitted her brows, “Why do you take me here?”

The drooping eyes of the man in purple were full of anguish, “I take you here to see our past.” His voice was still faintly laden with grief.

Duanmu Xi’s dark purple eyes flickered. Their past? She didn’t know him. What past did they have?

The man in purple waved at the mirror in the middle of the secret chamber with a flick of sleeves. A man and a woman appeared in the mirror. The man, dressed in purple, appeared incomparably enchanting while the woman, dressed in white, appeared as cold as ice.

Duanmu Xi frowned at the two figures in the mirror. The man in the mirror was him but the woman in the mirror wasn’t her. Although the woman in the mirror looked the same as her, she knew that the woman wasn’t her.

The image in the mirror was a mess. Duanmu Xi didn’t see it clearly, but she could tell that the man in purple loved the woman in white very much. Yet, the woman looked aloof and didn’t seem to get the man’s affection.

The man in purple looked at the woman in the mirror, his eyes full of affection. He cracked a faint smile, “Did you see that? That is our past.”

Duanmu Xi knitted her brows and looked at the man in purple, “That woman wasn’t me. Neither do I know you. Again, you’re mistaken.” Then, she turned around and wanted to leave.

As Duanmu Xi wanted to leave, the pure eyes of the man in purple flickered, “She was you. She was Yun Xi, the Celestial Maiden of the Wilderness Holy Region, as well as your prelife.” His faint voice came from behind, making Duanmu Xi stop abruptly.

Duanmu Xi turned to look at the man in purple and said with a frown, “You’re saying that the Celestial Maiden was my prelife?”

“Yes, she was your prelife.” The man in purple looked at the person in the mirror again.

Duanmu Xi was shocked to hear that. It turned out that the Celestial Maiden was her prelife. Yet, they looked the same and she also had the Purple Hell Stone, the love token of the Heavenly Emperor and his wife. This suggested that she was likely to be Lou Xi’s reincarnation. Duanmu Xi should be their current reincarnation. She couldn’t help wondering how many prelives she had.

Duanmu Xi returned to the mirror and looked at the attentive appearance of the man in purple. She arched her brows and said, “Do you like her very much?”

The man in purple stroked Yun Xi in the mirror, “She is the woman I love most in my life.”

Looking at the affectionate face of the man in purple, Duanmu Xi hedged and then stared at Yun Xi in the mirror, asking with a frown, “Did she like you too?”

The man in purple’s eyes dimmed. A while later, he said, “I failed her.”

Duanmu Xi was stunned to hear that and didn’t ask anything further.

They stayed quiet for a while before the man in purple turned to stare at Duanmu Xi, “Can you give me a chance to make amends?”

Duanmu Xi arched her brows in surprise, “You should ask her, not me.” She was not Yun Xi. She had no right to answer the question on behalf of Yun Xi.

The man in purple was dumbfounded to hear that and asked with a frown, “Aren’t you her?”

Duanmu Xi stared at the man in purple and said seriously, “No, I’m just me. We’re different individuals. Even if she was my prelife, I’m still not her. The one you love, miss and wait for is her. Your memory doesn’t include me. Neither does my memory include you. So, I can’t answer your question.”

The man in purple slightly dropped his eyes. She wasn’t Yun Xi. What did he wait so many years for?

Staring at the man in purple lost in thought with his eyes dropping, Duanmu Xi frowned, “I don’t know what happened between you and Yun Xi. Yet, the past is past. I’m Duanmu Xi, not Yun Xi. I don’t remember you anymore. Sorry. I’ve got to go.” With that, Duanmu Xi turned around and left. She couldn’t stay here all the time. She must find Snow, complete the test and then leave the sacred realm.

The man in purple looked at Duanmu Xi’s back and frowned but didn’t stop her again.

After Duanmu Xi left, a man in black appeared behind the man in purple, “Ghost Lord, will you just let her go?”

The man in purple frowned and sighed, “Let her go. As she said, she isn’t Yun Xi.” Yun Xi wouldn’t come back anymore.

“But will you just give up?” The man in black was anxious to hear that. Others might not know how much Ghost Lord had done for Yun Xi, but the man in black who had been following Ghost Lord knew that best. Ghost Lord had waited a few centuries in this void space. Now that Yun Xi’s reincarnation finally came, Ghost Lord just let her go.

The man in purple was dejected, “What else can I do? Even if I can keep her here, I can’t win her heart.”

Although he tried all means and even sent her to another space at the cost of violating the heavenly rules and taking divine retribution, she was still with Mo Heng across the time gap of thousands of years. Everything was written in the stars. No matter how hard he tried, all his effort was in vain. If only he could have met her earlier!

“Tell Xiaobai to remove the fog in the Foggy Valley. Get prepared. It’s time for us to go back.” He had stayed here for too long. Even though he was unwilling to, he should go back anyway.

The man in black was slightly dazed to hear that and then said with a bow, “Yes, I’m on it now.” Then, he just disappeared from the secret chamber.

The man in purple turned to look at Yun Xi in the mirror, his dark eyes filled with affection and grief. He wished Yun Xi to be happy.

No sooner had Duanmu Xi gotten out of the Misty Manor than the Misty Manor disappeared. The fog was also gone. It was even getting brighter.

Seeing the sudden scene, Duanmu Xi knitted her brows. Was everything she had seen an illusion? What about the man in purple? Was he real or just an illusion? Was what he had said true or fake?

Confused, Duanmu Xi hit the road again. Without the mist, it was a lot easier to go through the Foggy Valley. Besides, it had been bright. Duanmu Xi could identify the direction now.

Xuanyuan Mo walked for a long distance and still couldn’t find Duanmu Xi. He was worried and anxious.

The mist gradually cleared and it also became bright. Xuanyuan Mo finally figured out where he was.

Staring at the broken bridge under his feet, Xuanyuan Mo was shocked and wanted to step back. Yet, he missed a step and then fell along with the broken bridge before he could react.
