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

In the Siyan Palace in the imperial palace of the Baihu Empire, Xuanyuan Lie was drinking tea in his bedroom.

With a squeak, Eunuch Hu walked inside. When he saw Xuanyuan Lie had got off the bed, he hastened to close the door in fright.

“Oh my, Your Majesty, why did you get off the bed? If Prince Zhan sees this, what shall we do then?”

Xuanyuan Mo hurriedly arrived outside the Siyan Palace and happened to hear that.

The moment that the eunuchs were about to report his arrival, they were forced to bite their tongues by the fierce look of Xuanyuan Mo. Besides, Xuanyuan Mo raised his hand to signal to them not to report.

Prince Zhan came here at such a late time. The eunuchs were in an awkward predicament and wondered whether to report or not. Right at the moment, a voice came from inside again.

“It’s so late now. Mo won’t come here. I’ve been feigning sickness and lying in bed these two days, which makes me feel pain in the back.”

Xuanyuan Mo heard the words–“feigning sickness” and immediately had an outburst of anger.

Likewise, hearing the words–“feigning sickness”, the eunuchs also broke out in a cold sweat. When they saw Prince Zhan flaring up, they knelt on the ground in fear.

The door was kicked open with a bang.

“How dare you…” Eunuch Hu immediately bit his tongue upon seeing the furious Xuanyuan Mo at the door.

“Your Highness…”

“Mo…” Xuanyuan Lie was so shocked that the teacup in his hand dropped to the ground.

“Feigning sickness? Well played. Is it fun lying to me?” Xuanyuan Mo clenched his fists, his eyes simmering with rage. He tried his best to restrain his anger.

“Mo, listen to me…” Xuanyuan Lie knew that his son was mad. He directly stood up and tugged at Xuanyuan Mo’s sleeve.

“Keep your hand off me!” With a flick of his sleeve, Xuanyuan Mo shouted, “I don’t want to listen to you. I’m going to Zhongzhou. Take care,” after saying that, he just left decisively.

“Mo…” Xuanyuan Lie shouted and meanwhile covered his chest.

Seeing that, Eunuch Hu hurriedly went forward to stroke Xuanyuan Lie’s back, “Your Majesty, please mind your own health. His Highness will understand your effort sooner or later.”

Pressing against the table, Xuanyuan Lie muttered, “I hope so!”

…

The next early morning, Situ Kong and Nalan Xi came to Wisteria Yard again.

Upon seeing Duanmu Xi, Nalan Xi directly dragged her over and said, “Girl, acknowledge me as your master now.”

Duanmu Xi slightly frowned and looked at Situ Kong aside. Clearly, she was consulting Situ Kong’s opinion.

“Don’t look at him. He has agreed. Just do it.” He spent the whole night persuading the old guy yesterday. It took him an entire night to make Situ Kong agree reluctantly.

Duanmu Xi remained still and stared at Situ Kong with her dark purple eyes.

Suddenly, Situ Kong laughed and the sulks he had for one day and one night finally disappeared. With such a good disciple, why would he be mad? Although he couldn’t bear to share his disciple with another man, he could only agree simply for her own good.

“Xi, I agree with you to acknowledge him as your master but he can only be your second master. I’m your chief master.”

When Nalan Xi heard that, the corners of his lips twitched. Situ Kong was so… However, as long as he could take this girl as his disciple, he was fine with any condition.

“Fine by me.”

Duanmu Xi took a glance at Situ Kong again and found that he didn’t seem sulky. Then, she turned around and looked at Nalan Xi.

“Second Master, greetings.” Duanmu Xi knelt on her knees and was about to kowtow to Nalan Xi.

Nalan Xi immediately carried Duanmu Xi up with the mysterious Qi, his face beaming with smiles, “My good disciple, enough of the formalities.”

He finally had a disciple now, which was really not easy! However, it was worth it!

“Girl, this is the gift for you,” while talking, Nalan Xi passed a box to Duanmu Xi.

Duanmu Xi opened the box and instantly, a beam of light green light erupted from the slot.

After a while, Duanmu Xi finally saw clearly what was inside the box. There was a milk-white fruit in the box but the white fruit was giving off green light.

It looked so familiar. Green? Was it…

“It was a wood spiritual fruit?”

Nalan Xi was slightly surprised. He didn’t expect that she could recognize the wood spiritual fruit by one glance. Generally, ordinary people had never met the immortal fruit like the wood spiritual fruit. Yet, his disciple was no ordinary.

“Well, this is a wood spiritual fruit. When you eat the wood spiritual fruit, you can not only get promoted but also become immune to various kinds of poison.”

The wood spiritual fruit was so awesome.

“Second Master, it is too valuable for me to accept.”

“Since I give it to you, just take it. I’m not a wood spiritual master. It is no use my keeping it.”

Looking at Nalan Xi who seemed to dislike the fruit, Duanmu Xi felt a bit touched. She knew that the two masters were truly kind to her.

“Thank you, Second Master.”

“Girl, eat it now. It is much more useful than the Alexipharmic Pill,” said Situ Kong.

Nalan Xi also said, “You just eat it. It is for your safety.”

Expected by the two masters, Duanmu Xi swallowed the wood spiritual fruit slowly.

Just like the water spiritual fruit, the wood spiritual fruit also melted in her mouth. Having eaten the wood spiritual fruit, Duanmu Xi felt that she was full of vigor.

Then, Duanmu Xi gave off beams of increasingly dazzling green lights. Eventually, when the green lights faded away, Duanmu Xi became a grade-three wood Spiritual Lord.

It had been a long time since she got leveled up last time. Now, her feelings were beyond description.

Seeing Duanmu Xi ate the wood spiritual fruit and got promoted to wood Spiritual Lord, Nalan Xi nodded and said, “Okay. Girl, from now on, I will teach you the exclusive cultivation method–The Sun and Moon Techniques and some spiritual magic skills. Apart from that, if you want to, I can also teach you Taoist magical transformation skills and formations.”

Hearing that, before Duanmu Xi said anything, Situ Kong shouted, “Old chap, you ask my precious disciple to learn so many things at the same time. How can she manage? Besides, if you take up all her time, how can she have the time to learn medicine refining from me?”

“Old chap, she is my precious disciple now too. Of course I want to teach her all my skills. I’m not like you. You only know medicine refining,” Nalan Xi immediately talked back. Since he had got his disciple now, he wouldn’t bear with Situ Kong anymore.

“You… Who only knows medicine refining…” He was so mad. Of course he didn’t only know medicine refining. He had three kinds of spiritual roots. Outsiders didn’t know he also had the earth spiritual root apart from the wood and fire spiritual roots. How dared this old man laugh at him? From now on, he wouldn’t leave either. He must teach his precious disciple all he had grasped too. In that case, Nalan Xi wouldn’t have anything to say then.

Duanmu Xi frowned tightly. As she expected, when the two old men stayed together, they were just troublesome. And this was the first day only.

“Masters, please don’t argue anymore. I will arrange the time well and learn from both of you attentively.”

Hearing this, Situ Kong and Nalan Xi nodded and both said.

“Well, today I will teach you…”

“Well, today I will teach you…”

After they said that with one voice, they both stopped at the same time.

“I’m the chief master. She should start learning from me.”

“She has just acknowledged me as her master today. Of course, I should teach her today.”

Here it went. With the two old men here, her life wouldn’t be boring from now on.

“Masters, please listen to me.”

Situ Kong and Nalan Xi immediately shut up and looked at Duanmu Xi at the same time. It was quite weird. No matter what they were arguing about, as long as Duanmu Xi said something, they would shut up obediently, which showed their affection for Duanmu Xi.

“Masters, starting from today, I will make a timetable. Today is the day when Second Master acknowledges me as his disciple so I will learn from him today.”

Hearing her suggestion, Nalan Xi was beaming with smiles while Situ Kong was aggrieved. However, Situ Kong didn’t refute, just looking at Duanmu Xi with eyes full of grievance.

“In order to make it up for Chief Master, Chief Master will teach me tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.”

Now, Situ Kong was not aggrieved anymore. Nalan Xi also nodded his head. Duanmu Xi always had a way to convince them.

“In three days, you will take turn to teach me. Are you okay with it?”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

“Good. Second Master, let’s begin the class then.”

“Okay.”

…

At night, in Wisteria Yard, a red figure suddenly appeared in Duanmu Xi’s bedroom.

Duanmu Xi seemed to be dreaming in the room.

That red figure stood before the arhat bed quietly and observed Duanmu Xi’s peaceful sleeping face.

This was the first time that he looked at her at such a close distance. She was really very beautiful. Her delicately beautiful face glowed with the soft luster under the faint moonlight. Her eyes were closed and her long eyelashes cast a vague shadow. Her rosy lips were slightly curled, which made him have the impulse to kiss her. Her hair had slid to her cheeks secretly, which covered her fair skin. The pure white quilt covered her body lightly and the white hemline was exposed.

She seemed to like the white color very much. When he met her three years ago, she was dressed in white. Three years later, she was still wearing a white dress. Even her quilt was white too. Yet, the white color was a good color to set off her immortal disposition.

While the man in red was fascinated by Duanmu Xi’s fabulous sleeping face, Duanmu Xi suddenly opened her eyes.

They looked each other in the eye. In her dark purple eyes, there was no horror, fear, or confusion for a strange man breaking into her bedroom late at night but coldness that was enough to freeze everything. She lifted the quilt and got off the bed, staring at this uninvited man coldly.

What beautiful purple eyes! Her purple eyes were so suitable. It seemed that only such perfect eyes could match that amazingly beautiful face. However, why did he fail to find any feeling of being stunned and fascinated in her dark purple eyes? Shouldn’t all the girls in the world react like that upon seeing him? Why was she different?

“Am I good-looking?” His sinister voice contained slight temptation.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi slightly frowned. What was wrong with this man? He broke into her room late at night only to ask her this question?

She looked at his face carefully. His long and narrow peach eyes were as bright as the lake water in autumn, which were exceedingly fascinating; his prominent nose was like the steep cliff, which was naturally enchanting; his slightly curled thin lips were as thin as the cicada’s wings, which were matchlessly tempting; his black and soft long hair was billowing loosely despite no wind, which displayed a lazy and sinister demeanor.

Admittedly, he was beautiful indeed in an immortal way but…

“Does it have anything to do with me?” There was a note of disgruntlement in her voice.
