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

She was so gorgeous today.

Duanmu Xi usually wore white clothes. Pretty as she was, she looked somewhat ethereally beautiful. She was just like a fairy maiden in Heaven, hazy and untouchable.

Yet, today, she was wearing a suit of exquisitely fine clothes, exalted and aloof. An air of majestic dignity just showed itself.

Huangfu Che was also stunned to see Duanmu Xi.

Xi really looked like the young version of Xue.

He peeped at the dumbfounded Xuanyuan Mo and said banteringly, “Xi, you have grown up. After the coming-of-age ceremony, you can get married then. You can pick a man you like at the evening party.”

Huangfu Che’s words instantly dragged Xuanyuan Mo back to reality and then the latter just started to give off an air of grimness from inside out.

Huangfu Che and Duanmu Xue laughed at Xuanyuan Mo’s reaction in secret.

Duanmu Xue even added fuel to the fire, “Yeah, Xi, just pick freely tonight. If you like anyone, I can issue an edict to finalize the marriage.”

Duanmu Xi saw them snicker and then looked at Xuanyuan Mo’s stern face. She couldn’t help smiling.

“Thank you, Father, Mother. I have fallen in love with a man already.”

Her reply made Xuanyuan Mo withdraw the coldness instantly and get relaxed.

“Oh? Since you’ve fallen in love with someone, I shall go to propose marriage for you. In this way, you two can get married as soon as possible and I can have a grandchild early.”

Duanmu Xue also looked at Xuanyuan Mo aside meaningfully.

Xuanyuan Mo looked poker-faced but in fact, he was so nervous.

Duanmu Xi was speechless.

She was 15 years old only. How could she get married now? She would be a middle school student at her age in modern times.

“Mother, I don’t want to rush into getting married. Let’s talk about it later.”

Hearing her answer, the three of them were all disappointed.

Xuanyuan Mo’s amber eyes instantly darkened with frustration.

Duanmu Xi’s heart clenched as Xuanyuan Mo looked so frustrated.

Snow…

It seemed that she needed to talk with him.

…

The evening party was rather lively. The officials and officers all attended the party with their most outstanding sons.

Her Highness the Crown Princess was 15 years old now, which meant that she could have her own prince consort and side concubines. If their sons were picked, it would be bliss even if they were made to be concubines only.

The childes all stared at Duanmu Xi sitting on the seat of honor, expecting her favor.

Si Yunhan was surely one of them. He became even more handsome and dashing with his charisma growing stronger after three years.

Over the past three years, many ladies of influential families came to the general’s residence to propose marriage to Si Yunhan.

However, no matter how well-off their families were, he just turned them down.

Si Yunhan stared at Duanmu Xi above the jade stairs, his eyes full of obsession.

It had been three years. He finally met her again.

The singing and dancing performances were not intriguing to Duanmu Xi at all.

She disliked the occasion or the flirtatious glances of the men.

Today was the evening party of her coming-of-age ceremony. Snow didn’t sit next to her.

Duanmu Xi raised her head and saw Xuanyuan Mo sitting not far away. He was drinking nonstop without casting a glance at her at all. Instantly, she felt a bit fretted.

She left the Fengyi Hall and came to the imperial garden.

She turned around to glance at the maids behind her and knitted her brows.

“Leave me alone.”

Her cold voice made the maids not dare to look up at her at all. After curtsying to her quietly, they just left and waited in the distance.

After the maids left, the imperial garden instantly became quiet. It was so quiet that she started to feel lonely.

She looked up at the stars in the sky, her eyes gleaming.

Was Grandpa still okay?

It had been five years since she parted from her grandpa.

Five years might be nothing to her but definitely a long time for an old man like her grandpa. How many five years could he afford to spend in waiting?

Her grandpa spent too much time of his life waiting. He had waited for his son for twelve years. At that time, he was painful but at least, he was accompanied by her. Now, who could stay by his side?

When Xuanyuan Mo looked up at the jade stairs, he found Duanmu Xi’s seat was empty.

Xuanyuan Mo frowned and immediately put down the cup. He hastily rose and got out of the Fengyi Hall.

In the end, he finally found Duanmu Xi in the imperial garden. He was about to call her when a man in blue walked to her.

It was him?

He was the man sitting on the opposite side three years ago.

“Your Highness.”

A man’s calling woke Duanmu Xi up from her thoughts.

The man in blue looked familiar to Duanmu Xi but she couldn’t recall where they had met before.

Si Yunhan saw Duanmu Xi’s reaction and his lips curved into a dismayed smile.

“Do you really forget me?”

His voice was bitter and sorrowful.

Duanmu Xi frowned and cast a serious glance at Si Yunhan.

It was him!

He was the man sitting next to Duanmu Qing.

“Are you still mad at me?” As Duanmu Xi didn’t utter any word, Si Yunhan asked discreetly.

Mad?

What did he mean?

Duanmu Xi looked at Si Yunhan again with confusion.

“You had been missing for more than one year. I thought you… Afterward, my parents forced me to agree to Heiress of Princess Jing’s proposal. Now that she is dead, could you forgive me and give me one more chance?”

Si Yunhan begged imploringly, his eyes filled with tears.

Si Yunhan’s words made Duanmu Xi even more confused.

What did it have to do with her whether he agreed on the proposal? What did she forgive him for?

As Duanmu Xi kept frowning, Si Yunhan thought she still didn’t forgive him and got a bit anxious.

“Your Highness, I do love you sincerely. Please give me one more chance considering that we grew up together since childhood. I dare not expect to be your prince consort. All I want is to serve you, even as a slave or a servant.”

Si Yunhan shed a drop of tear then.

Xuanyuan Mo hiding behind the artificial hill felt a bit jealous after hearing what Si Yunhan said.

It turned out that Si Yunhan was Xi’s childhood sweetheart.

How would Xi answer him?

Xuanyuan Mo’s clenched hands were sweating and his breath even became lighter.

It was now that Duanmu Xi finally realized the situation.

This man in blue grew up with the original Duanmu Xi. Maybe they had a crush on each other.

However, she was no longer the original Duanmu Xi. She felt nothing for him. Neither could she accept being with him.

“Sorry. I cannot be with you.”

Her cold reply just made Si Yunhan’s heart sink again.

“Why?”

Why did she even reject this humble request of his?

Duanmu Xi frowned and looked at Si Yunhan with disgruntlement.

“I have fallen in love with another man. You had better let go.”

After saying that, Duanmu Xi turned around and left, without giving a glance at him at all.

“But you are the crown princess. How is it possible that you only have one man?”

He didn’t expect to be her prince consort. Being with her would be enough for him.

Hearing the question, Duanmu Xi stopped but not looked back.

“All I need in this life is him only.”

Her voice was so subtle, which sounded like a murmur. Whether Si Yunhan heard it or not, she just left after saying that.

Si Yunhan staggered backward for a few steps and slumped on the ground. Obviously, he heard Duanmu Xi’s reply. He knew that he didn’t have a chance anymore.

Xuanyuan Mo behind the artificial hill felt differently.

Duanmu Xi’s reply was short but it just left his heart filled with happiness.

In the Eastern Palace of the crown princess.

Ziwan and Ziyan were slightly shocked to see Duanmu Xi was back.

The evening party of the crown princess’s coming-of-age ceremony wasn’t over yet. Why was she back so early?

Confused as they were, they still trod toward Duanmu Xi and curtsied.

“Your Highness.”

“Leave,” with a flick of sleeves, Duanmu Xi ordered coldly.

“Yes.”

Ziwan and Ziyan didn’t dare to take her order lightly. After curtsying again, they just left.

After sending away the maids, she suddenly said, “Show yourself.”

Xuanyuan Mo was slightly surprised to hear that.

He was discovered by her! It seemed that Xi’s senses grew more acute after being a Spiritual Deity.

Xuanyuan Mo showed up before Duanmu Xi. They stared at each other, both of whom didn’t utter a word for the moment.

It was so quiet in the room that only their breathing sound could be heard.

Moments later, Duanmu Xi finally blushed after being stared at by Xuanyuan Mo. She asked in a low voice, “Did you hear that?”

“Yeah.”

Xuanyuan Mo looked at Duanmu Xi’s shy face and then went forward to hold her into his arms, whispering to her ears.

“Xi, having you is the greatest gift from Heaven for me.”

As she felt his warm breath around her ear, a rush of electricity ran through her body. The euphoric feeling made her not dare to move in his arms at all.

Seeing Duanmu Xi’s ears getting red bit by bit and eventually become as red as blood, Xuanyuan Mo gave a smile.

Xi was quite sensitive.

Xuanyuan Mo leaned forward to press his lips on Duanmu Xi’s. The faint fragrance filled his whole mind. He couldn’t refrain from wanting more.

Xuanyuan Mo squeezed into her mouth through the teeth and twisted with her slippery tongue. As he sucked the sweetness in her mouth, he savored her unique flavor with relish.

His sudden moves surprised Duanmu Xi so much that she didn’t know how to react.

The faint fragrance of wine mixed with the man’s unique scent made her heart race. She even forgot to breathe. Her body became feeble gradually as if turning into spring water.

After a long while, Xuanyuan Mo finally found something wrong with the girl in his arms. He held her tightly to prevent her from slipping down.

He whispered to her ears in a husky voice, “Xi, I love you.”

Nestling against his arms, she listened to his affectionate confession of love and felt his deep love.

Duanmu Xi smiled, which was as enchanting as the red lotus.

Xuanyuan Mo stared at his girl in his arms, fascinated by her beautiful smile.

Duanmu Xi stood on tiptoe and pressed her lips on his, following Xuanyuan Mo’s example.

The soft lips on his finally made Xuanyuan Mo come to his senses.

Seeing her unskillful kissing, Xuanyuan Mo finally took the initiative.

Although he was also unskillful, as a man, he could pick this up without teachers. Difficult the first time, easy the second. This time, he was much more proficient than before.

The atmosphere in the room was getting hotter. Likewise, their love was being heated up continuously.
