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

In Wisteria Yard of Shengjin Academy.

It was already daytime when Bai He woke up again. He found that he was in a yarn net and forgot where he was. He only felt limp and pain all over his body.

He wanted to lift the quilt and get out of the bed but astonishingly, he found that he was naked!

What… What happened?

He finally recalled that last night, when he wanted to put on the clothes after the bath, he suddenly felt dizzy and then lost consciousness.

Bai He slightly blushed. Was it she who carried him onto the bed? Or… Thinking of the possibility that it could be others, he felt frustrated and a bit nauseous.

Immersed in his thoughts, he suddenly heard some noises outside and then hastened to get into the quilt.

The door was opened with a squeak and Duanmu Xi walked inside with the breakfast.

Seeing that the comer was Duanmu Xi, Bai He let out a sigh of relief. If it was others who came inside, he would really have no idea what to do. After all, he was naked now.

“You are awake!” Duanmu Xi put the breakfast on the table, walked to the bedside and took a careful look at Bai He’s face. He seemed to look much better than last night.

“Xi, last night…” Bai He wanted to ask something but bit his tongue. His handsome face blushed even more.

“Oh, you passed out last night. I couldn’t wake you up so I could only carry you onto the bed,” Without noticing the blushed face of Bai He, Duanmu Xi told him about what had happened the night before honestly.

Hearing that she carried him onto the bed, Bai He felt relieved and bashful.

“You haven’t put on any clothes, right?” Seeing Bai He wrapped in the quilt, Duanmu Xi asked.

Bai He was slightly dazed and then nodded his head.

“Okay. You lie down now and I will apply the medicine to you.”

“No, no need. I can do it myself.” Bai He felt so nervous that he was faltering now.

Seeing Bai He’s handsome red face, Duanmu Xi finally realized something.

“You cannot apply the medicine to your body on your own,” Duanmu Xi stayed silent for a while and said, “If you really don’t want me to help you, I will ask Phoenix Five to get a man to help you.”

“Don’t…” Bai He instinctively refused. He didn’t want to let anyone else see his body but her, whether male or female.

“Okay.” Seeing the emotional Bai He, Duanmu Xi felt so sorry. That bastard Xue Jinshuo did hurt him so seriously. This was because of her dereliction of duty.

After staying silent for a while, Duanmu Xi said, “Let me help you then. After all, this is not the first time. It was me who applied the medicine to you last night.”

Her words made Bai He blush at once. She was right. He couldn’t apply the medicine to his body. Neither did he want others to help apply the medicine to him. He had no other choice but to brother her. At the thought of that, he lay in bed well.

Duanmu Xi saw him lie down and knew that he agreed to let her apply the medicine to him. Duanmu Xi took the injury medicine out of her storage ring and applied it to his body carefully.

When she touched the injury marks on his body, Duanmu Xi’s eyes got a bit watery, “It must hurt much!”

Bai He’s heart clenched. With his nose slightly twitching, he shook his head and answered in a low voice, “No.”

“Just go back after you recover.” It would be better for him to go back to the pure world where he belonged to. This world was too dirty for him.

“But…” Upon hearing Duanmu Xi asked him to leave, Bai He got nervous. He didn’t want to leave her, not at all.

“This place is not suitable for you…” Staring at Bai He’s pure green eyes, Duanmu Xi couldn’t bear to make him sad. However, she must say this for his own good.

“If you want to stay with me, you must be able to protect yourself. I cannot always protect you. If you are caught again and I cannot rescue you in time…” Duanmu Xi didn’t finish the sentence but Bai He had understood what she meant.

Duanmu Xi took the antiphlogistic pills from the crystal ball and put them on the table, “These are the antiphlogistic pills. You should take one pill after breakfast and one before sleeping.”

After saying that, Duanmu Xi got out of the room and closed the door.

Bai He was still immersed in what Duanmu Xi had said. He didn’t hear her medical advice at all. He felt a bit sad. He was aware that given his current capability, he couldn’t be of help to her and would become her burden. It was in order to requite the favor that he wanted to stay with her but now, he would only encumber her.

In Room Heaven No. 6 of Yunlai Inn, a woman in black was half-kneeling before the man in red.

“Sovereign, I have spread the news.”

The man in red gave a sinister smile and said, “Good.”

“Leave. Don’t let anyone discover your identity.”

“Yes, Sovereign.” The woman in black curtsied and stood up.

“Remember this. You mustn’t lay a finger on her without my permission.”

Hearing that, the woman in black stiffened and her eyes glistened. Then, she said respectfully again, “At your command.”

…

The next day, in Wisteria Yard of Shengjin Academy, Duanmu Xi was sorting out the herbs.

“Your Highness, bad news…” Holding an envelope, Phoenix Five rushed to Duanmu Xi.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi slightly frowned and stopped to look at Phoenix Five, waiting for her report.

“Your Highness, Mr. Bai is gone.”

“What? Say it clearly,” Duanmu Xi was taken aback and said anxiously.

“When I sent the breakfast to Mr. Bai just now, I couldn’t find him but this on the table,” Phoenix Five said and passed the envelope found on the table to Duanmu Xi.

Duanmu Xi took the envelope and opened it quickly.

“Xi, thank you for saving me several times and looking after me. I can never forget your favor. I really don’t want to leave you but I can only be your burden now. In order to become strong, I must go back home and accept the legacy. I will come back for sure. Please wait for me. From Bai He.”

Duanmu Xi folded the letter with a frown. Yesterday, she only said that he could hopefully be able to protect himself but she never said that he would be her burden. Even if he must leave, he should at least cure his injuries first.

“Phoenix Five, send ten people to catch up with Mr. Bai and then protect him in secret until he arrives at the land of elves safe and sound. If anything comes up on the road, let me know immediately.”

It turned out that Mr. Bai had gone back to the land of elves. She thought he had been caught again. Phoenix Five was relieved, “Yes, Your Highness.”

Phoenix Five returned in a hurry after being away for a while.

“Your Highness, something is wrong…”

Duanmu Xi rolled her eyes inwardly, “What’s wrong with Mr. Bai again?”

“No, I have arranged for some guards to deal with Mr. Bai’s matter,” Phoenix Five pressed her hands against her thighs out of breath.

“What is happening again?” What kind of thing made her out of breath like this?

“It is the master of the Xue Family who has brought his men to Shengjin Academy to arrest you.”

“The master of the Xue Family?” The master of the Xue Family was so weird. It had been two days and he didn’t come to her until now. It seemed that he didn’t attach much importance to his abnormal son.

“Where are they now?”

“They are at the door of Shengjin Academy. It is said even President Nalan has been noted.”

Duanmu Xi nodded. It was within her expectations. How could ordinary people get in and out of Shengjin Academy at will?

“I’ve asked you to look into the forces behind the four families. How is it going?”

“Yes, I’ve figured it out. The four families in Zhongzhou City are the retainers sent by the four empires to monitor the chatelain of Zhongzhou City. Feng, Hua, Xue and Yue represent the four directions–east, west, south and north, respectively. The force that supports the Feng Family is the Qinglong Empire in the east; the force that supports the Hua Family is our Zhuque Empire; the force that supports the Xue Family is the Xuanwu Empire in the west; and the force that supports the Yue Family is the Baihu Empire in the north.”

After hearing that, Duanmu Xi sneered. The Xue Family was backed by the Xuanwu Empire. Humph. She hadn’t got even with the Xuanwu Empire for its attacking the Zhuque Empire last time. Now, the Xue Family dared to bully her. Did they really take her as a pushover?

“Let’s go and have a look,” after saying that, she headed to the gate of Shengjin Academy.

After making a gesture in secret, Phoenix Five followed her.

At the gate of Shengjin Academy, two groups of people were at a stalemate. The party led by Xue Qing, the master of the Xue Family, faced the gate threateningly. The people led by Nalan Xi, the president of Shengjin Academy, were standing with their backs to the gate, who all looked serious. They were also surrounded by the onlookers.

It had been more than an hour but Xue Qing and his people still couldn’t get into Shengjin Academy. He pointed at Nalan Xi angrily and said, “Nalan Xi, you have my respect so I don’t want to hold a grudge against you. However, if you insist on getting in my way, I will have to play the hardball then.”

The corners of Nalan Xi’s mouth twitched invisibly, “You are being too serious. Not everyone can come into Shengjin Academy at will.”

All the people burst out laughing.

Xue Qing’s face turned purple with rage.

“Nalan Xi, I’ve shown you enough respect. If you offend the Xue Family, you will offend the Xuanwu Empire. Think about it.”

When Nalan Xi heard that, the corners of his lips twitched again. How boastful Xue Qing was! It remained unknown whether the Xuanwu Empire would stand up for the Xue Family. Even if the Xuanwu Empire really dispatched soldiers to attack Shengjin Academy, he still wouldn’t be afraid.

“Who is barking in the early morning?” When the atmosphere was getting increasingly tense, a cold female voice sounded in the people’s ears.

In a tree nearby, an old grey-hair man heard the familiar voice and stopped. A sinister smile touched his lips. Here came Xi. It seemed that something fun would happen then.

Upon hearing the sound, Xue Qing’s face became as dark as thunder. Obviously, he was furious beyond words, “Who is that? Show yourself if you dare to!”

“Why don’t I dare to?” Right after she finished talking, everyone saw a beautiful lady in white land from the sky.

“Gosh! Is that a fairy maiden?”

“Here comes the fairy maiden!”

“I… I met the fairy maiden. Come on. Pinch me now. I can’t be sure of whether I’m dreaming.”

“What a beautiful girl! She is as beautiful as a fairy maiden!”
