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

“Girl…”

“President Nalan?” The moment Duanmu Xi got out of Wisteria Yard, she saw Nalan Xi rush here in a hurry. When he saw her, his eyes glistened.

While she was confused, another man rushed over. His snarl could be faintly heard, “Nalan Xi, how dare you want to snatch my disciple? No way! I will never let you have your way…”

“Master?” Why was her master here too? When did he come back?

“Xi, it has been a long while. Do you miss me?” Situ Kong ignored Nalan Xi directly and dragged Duanmu Xi back to Wisteria Yard.

It had been a long while? It seemed that only a few days had passed!

No sooner had Situ Kong entered the yard than he closed the door and even wanted to bolt it.

What did her master want to do? President Nalan and Phoenix Five were still outside.

The door of the yard was kicked open with a bang. Nalan Xi walked inside with a grin. Phoenix Five went back to Duanmu Xi in a fog.

Situ Kong stamped his feet in anger, “Who allowed you to come in? Get out.”

Nalan Xi laughed casually, “Since when did Shengjin Academy become your territory?”

“You…”

What was going on? What were the two old men doing? Duanmu Xi couldn’t stand it anymore, “Master, President Nalan, please sit down and talk it through.”

“I won’t listen to him. Xi, don’t listen to him either. Never,” Situ Kong told Duanmu Xi anxiously.

Upon seeing this, Nalan Xi smiled again, “I don’t have anything to say to this old man but I do have something to discuss with you.”

“President Nalan, please say it.”

“Xi…” Situ Kong was about to speak when a purple enchantment arose before him. Nalan Xi and Duanmu Xi were both in the enchantment whereas he was kept outside.

Situ Kong was so furious outside the enchantment. D*mn it. That old man was too crafty…

“President Nalan?” Duanmu Xi was quite surprised that Nalan Xi could cast an enchantment with a wave of his hand. She had heard that the president of Shengjin Academy’s cultivation level was unfathomably high. As it appeared now, it was quite true.

“Keep the old man outside first or he won’t let you listen to me.”

What on earth did he want to tell her? It seemed to have something to do with her master. “President Nalan, please say it.”

“I want to acknowledge you as my disciple.” Nalan Xi cut to the chase.

To acknowledge her as his disciple? No wonder her master was that nervous.

“President Nalan, you should know that I have a master now.” She didn’t want so many masters. One master was already quite troublesome. If these two old men often hung out, she would be driven crazy!

“I don’t mean to be your master in medicine refining but your master for mysterious cultivation and spiritual cultivation.”

“President Nalan, thank you for your kindness! Yet, I really don’t want to have another master,” Duanmu Xi looked at Nalan Xi’s expectant eyes and said with embarrassment.

Hearing Duanmu Xi’s refusal, Nalan Xi was slightly taken aback that she should turn him down. Just like Situ Kong, he was exceedingly talented and rose to fame at a young age but he never meant to have a disciple. Now he finally wanted to take her as his disciple and yet got rejected. Today, he finally understood the persistence of that old guy. He should get such a disciple at all costs.

Nalan Xi pondered for a while and then smiled, “Girl, don’t rush to reject me. Give me your hand.”

Duanmu Xi was taken aback but she still reached out her right hand.

Nalan Xi grabbed Duanmu Xi’s fair-skinned wrist, closed his eyes and concentrated his mental strength and started to check Duanmu Xi’s meridians.

Duanmu Xi saw what he was doing and finally realized that Nalan Xi was checking her physique. She wondered whether he would discover that…

15 minutes later, Nalan Xi’s hand that held Duanmu Xi started to tremble slightly. He immediately opened his eyes and stared at Duanmu Xi with astonishment.

Seeing Nalan Xi’s astonished look, Duanmu Xi knew that he must have discovered her physique.

“You… You have omni property spiritual roots!” There was such an amazing talent in the world! It was the first time that he had met such a genius with omni property spiritual roots after living for more than 200 years. Besides, she was also a mysterious master and a spiritual master, which was so unbelievable.

Duanmu Xi furrowed her eyebrows, “President Nalan, I don’t intend to let others know about this. Hopefully, you can keep this secret for me.”

Noticing Duanmu Xi’s colder tone, Nalan Xi came to his senses and said seriously, “Of course. Don’t worry. I won’t spread this.”

Duanmu Xi looked better and nodded her head. Nalan Xi was still trustworthy.

“Girl, I really want to take you as my disciple sincerely,” Nalan Xi mentioned why he was here. Actually, he had wanted to take her as his disciple badly. Now that he had learned that she was both a mysterious master and a spiritual master with omni property spiritual roots, he wouldn’t give up easily.

“I…”

Feeling that Duanmu Xi was about to reject him again, Nalan Xi hastened to say, “I can help you get leveled up to Mysterious Sovereign in a month.”

Mysterious Sovereign? Duanmu Xi was surprised that Nalan Xi would say that. It would take ordinary people two or three years at least to be promoted from Mysterious Master to Mysterious Sovereign. Moreover, she was just a peak Mysterious Knight now. Surprisingly, he offered to help her get leveled up to Mysterious Sovereign within one month.

As Duanmu Xi didn’t reply for a long time, Nalan Xi added, “Apart from mysterious Qi, I can also give you some guidance on spiritual power. Similarly, I am both a mysterious master and a spiritual master too. Besides, I have the wind spiritual root and thunder spiritual root.”

Looking at Nalan Xi’s anxious and expectant eyes, Duanmu Xi smiled. She could tell that he really wanted to take her as his disciple. If he could really help her get leveled up, it didn’t seem to be a big deal to take him as her master. However…

“President Nalan, if I didn’t have a master, I might acknowledge you as my master. However, now, my master clearly doesn’t want me to take you as my master. Hence, I’m sorry. I still cannot accept your kindness.”

Nalan Xi stiffened and didn’t expect Duanmu Xi to respect Situ Kong’s opinion so much but he quickly realized that Duanmu Xi was not unwilling to take him as her master. Instead, she simply wanted to respect her master’s opinion. He increasingly fancied such a disciple who respected her master very much.

“If I can make the old guy agree, will you take me as the master?”

Duanmu Xi smiled slightly, “Of course.” However, supposedly, her master wouldn’t agree.

The enchantment was opened. Nalan Xi directly dragged Situ Kong away and the latter didn’t even have a chance to resist.

…

In South Villa of the Xue’s mansion, Mrs. Xue was taking care of Xue Jinshuo.

Seeing her lifeless son lying in bed, Mrs. Xue was full of resentment. When her husband brought that wretched girl back, she must tear the girl into pieces.

“Madam, His Lordship is back.”

Mrs. Xue heard the report and took a pitiful look at her son again. Then, she turned around and ordered the maid in the room, “Take good care of the young master.”

“Yes, Madam.”

Mrs. Xue brought two maids to the hall in a hurry and saw only Xue Qing in the hall with no one else.

“Your Lordship, where is that wretched girl?”

Xue Qing just kept quiet and stood with his back to Mrs. Xue.

Mrs. Xue directly went around and stood before Xue Qing, asking, “Did you catch her?”

With a slap, Mrs. Xue was hit without rhyme or reason.

“Your Lordship…” With her head tilted, Mrs. Xue covered the slapped cheek and slowly turned around, saying in disbelief.

The two close maids of Mrs. Xue were scared by the sudden scene and hastened to lower their heads, staring at their shoes and staying still.

“Do you know that I was almost killed today?” Xue Qing looked at Mrs. Xue’s swollen cheek and finally felt better. The grievance he had suffered at the gate of Shengjin Academy was somewhat relieved.

Mrs. Xue was scared in a sweat by Xue Qing’s words and didn’t feel pain in the slapped cheek.

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

Xue Qing glanced at his wife, sent away the two maids with a wave of his hand and then told Mrs. Xue about what had happened this morning.

Having heard him out, Mrs. Xue slumped in the chair with a pale face. After a while, she asked gloomily, “Who on earth is that wretched girl?”

Xue Qing shook his head. He didn’t know who Duanmu Xi was but he knew that her identity couldn’t be simple.

“How about writing a letter to Prince Regent to let him seek revenge for our son?” Mrs. Xue’s eyes glistened. She felt that she had come up with a very good idea.

“Idiot! If this thing is spread to the Xuanwu Empire, how can I still be the master of the Xue Family?” Today he had utterly lost face and even brought shame on the Xuanwu Empire. If this was known by Prince Regent knew, he would be doomed for sure.

Mrs. Xue slumped on the chair in dejection again, mumbling, “What should we do then? We won’t seek revenge for our son?”

Xue Qing didn’t respond but his triangle eyes were full of viciousness.

…

In the study of Prince Zhan’s mansion in the Baihu Empire, Xuanyuan Mo was burying his head in a pile of memorials.

“Your Highness, we’ve got news from Zhongzhou City.” Lishang entered the study with a secret letter.

Delighted to hear the report, Xuanyuan Mo immediately grabbed the secret letter passed by Lishang and unfolded it quickly.

Prince Zhan was so anxious as long as it was about Duanmu Xi…

Xuanyuan Mo read the letter quickly and his happy mood was completely ruined after he finished reading the letter. His face was terribly gloomy.

The atmosphere that became tense suddenly took Lishang by surprise. What was wrong with His Highness? Wasn’t His Highness very happy just now? Why did he suddenly flare up out of the blue? Did anything happen in Zhongzhou?

“Prepare a horse for me. I want to go into the imperial palace.” Xuanyuan Mo reached out his hand and then a ball of flame appeared on his palm, which burned the secret letter into ashes.

“Now? It is midnight now…” Before Lishang finished talking, he was interrupted by Xuanyuan Mo.

“Can’t you hear me?” His voice was not sheerly cold but a bit angry.

Lishang was startled and hastened to say okay before leaving for preparations.

His Highness was too abnormal today. He was cold at other times but he rarely lost his temper. Even when those women of the harem attempted to hurt him multiple times, he had never got mad. What on earth had happened in Zhongzhou to make him so grumpy?
