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

In the Tongxin Hall of the Zhuque Empire.

After reading the letter, Huangfu Che smacked it on the desk.

Duanmu Xue aside was shocked by the thump. She turned her gaze to Huangfu Che with perplexity only to see him gasping with his eyes simmering with anger. It seemed that he was really furious.

“Che, what’s wrong?”

Huangfu Che turned around at once and stared at Duanmu Xue, “Didn’t you read the letter too? Why did you ask?”

It was true that she had read the letter but she still couldn’t understand what he was angry about.

Seeing Duanmu Xue’s confused look, Huangfu Che shouted again, “Xuanyuan Mo dared to do it with Xi before getting married. How outrageous!”

“Did you get it backward? It was Xi who slept with Mo.” Duanmu Xue blinked her dark purple eyes. She didn’t understand what he was mad about. Mo’s parents should be the ones who got mad.

“You…” Huangfu Che didn’t know how to explain to the empress of a matriarchal country. Even though he had lived in the Zhuque Empire for more than ten years, some of his ideas were still not changed. In his mind, girls always got the short end of the stick when it came to this kind of thing.

“But they are not married yet. What if they have a baby?” Huangfu Che tried to persuade her in a roundabout way. He must manage to let them come back and get married.

Duanmu Xue got enlightened, “Oh that’s right. How come I didn’t think of that? I must write a letter to ask Xi to come back as soon as possible. What if anything happens to her baby when she is outside?” This was her first grandchild. She couldn’t let anything happen to the baby. Besides, the baby must be born in the Zhuque Empire rather than be left outside.

Huangfu Che looked at Duanmu Xue hurrying to write the letter and his lips curved into a satisfied smile. As expected, when it came to the baby, things became much easier.

The people of the Zhuque Empire attached much importance to children. The abortion medicine that was seen anywhere in other countries couldn’t be found in the Zhuque Empire at all. Abortion was a capital felony in the Zhuque Empire, which would be seriously punished.

The Zhuque Empire was a matriarchal country but like other countries, children were born by women. Therefore, the descendants of the Zhuque Empire were very rare. It was an even more prominent phenomenon in the imperial family. The empress could have a lot of concubines but she wouldn’t have a lot of children. Unlike the patriarchal country, a concubine could give birth to two or three children. As tens of concubines all had children, the total number of descendants was astonishing. Therefore, in the Zhuque Empire, people attached much importance to their descendants, especially the imperial family.

In Wisteria Yard, Duanmu Xi read the letter in hand and then stared at Phoenix Five coldly.

Stared at by Duanmu Xi, Phoenix Five felt a bit guilty and then wiped the sweat off her forehead with her sleeve. What on earth did Her Majesty write? Why did Her Highness stare at her like this? Oh no, Her Highness must have known it was her who blabbed about Her Highness’s affair to Her Majesty.

Duanmu Xi looked at Phoenix Five keeping wiping the sweat and then dropped her gaze. Fine, Phoenix Five was doing her job only.

“Send this to my mother.”

Seeing the note passed by Her Highness, Phoenix Five took it quickly, “Yes, Your Highness.” After saying that, she ran away immediately.

“You’ve freaked her out.” Xuanyuan Mo showed up from nowhere and put his arms around Duanmu Xi’s shoulders.

Duanmu Xi cast a coquettish glance at Xuanyuan Mo, “It is all your fault. Now, everyone thinks that we…”

“Isn’t it nice? Everyone knows you are mine so that no one will covet you.” Xuanyuan Mo pursed his lips wryly.

He sounded so jealous. Duanmu Xi felt amused inwardly. She liked it when he got jealous.

“My mother asks me to go back to the Zhuque Empire, saying that she disallows me to have the baby outside and that she will go to the Baihu Empire to propose marriage.”

Xuanyuan Mo was slightly dazed. He wanted to marry Xi very much but now, he knew that Xi didn’t want to get married too early. Therefore, he would wait until she said yes.

“Did you refuse her?”

“Yes.” Duanmu Xi looked into Xuanyuan Mo’s amber eyes seriously, “Because I will go to propose on my own.”

She thought that the whole Hantian Continent was a matriarchal world, where all the countries were matriarchal. It wouldn’t be a problem that she offered to marry him. However, now, she knew that Snow was not from a matriarchal country. It should be up to him to decide whether he would marry her.

Seeing Duanmu Xi’s serious eyes, Xuanyuan Mo lowered his head and pressed a kiss on her forehead, “Okay, I will wait for you to propose marriage on your own.”

Duanmu Xi smiled sweetly. Her smile got out of her heart and lingered on the corners of her lips and the tips of her brows.

…

In the Tongxin Hall of the Zhuque Empire, Duanmu Xue unfolded the small note which only wrote, “I’m not pregnant. I will go to propose on my own.”

Having read the note, Duanmu Xue was disappointed that Xi should be not pregnant. There was no grandchild for her.

Huangfu Che took the note and read it. He was also a bit dejected but that was not important. He grabbed the pen and started writing.

Duanmu Xue leaned over curiously, “What are you writing?”

“I’m writing a letter to Xuanyuan Mo to warn him never to lay a finger on Xi again before getting married,” Huangfu Che said angrily while writing.

“Don’t bother. After all, it is not our daughter who suffers the loss.”

…

Time passed by amidst so many incidents. Within a blink of an eye, half a year lapsed. During these days, Xuanyuan Mo stayed with Duanmu Xi while she was busy taking in various skills taught by her three masters like a huge sponge.

In the thunder field in Shengjin Academy, Nalan Xi looked at Duanmu Xi cultivating with closed eyes and nodded inwardly. Within half a year, his disciple had become so capable. His decision was so right.

“Girl, it will be the annual martial arts tournament of Shengjin Academy in a few days. I hope you can participate in it.”

“Why?” Duanmu Xi uttered the word casually without opening her eyes. Given her second master’s personality, he wouldn’t care about vanity. There must be some special reason why he asked her to participate in the tournament.

Nalan Xi’s eyes were full of satisfaction, “The winner can go into the library.”

Duanmu Xi didn’t respond. She had heard of the library of Shengjin Academy, which was a mysterious place. Legend had it that only the champion of the annual martial arts tournament could go in there for one day. At other times, no one could access the library. There was an enchantment outside the library. However, she knew that this was not the actual reason why her second master asked her to participate in the martial arts tournament.

Indeed, Nalan Xi’s voice sounded in Duanmu Xi’s ears again, “There is a thunder mythical creature, Unicorn hidden in the library.”

“A thunder mythical creature?” Duanmu Xi was no more silent and looked at Nalan Xi with staring eyes.

Seeing Duanmu Xi’s intrigued look, Nalan Xi smiled lovingly, “My master is the late president. He told me about that. The thunder field where we are now is said to be formed due to this mysterious Unicorn.”

“However, back then, I also made it into the library after defeating all the opponents but I still failed to find the legendary Unicorn.” Nalan Xi seemed to be reminiscing.

“Maybe I’m destined not to meet the Unicorn.” His voice was helpless and regretful.

Seeing her second master looked so dejected, Duanmu Xi didn’t know how to comfort him.

“I cannot find the mysterious Unicorn but you may do it. I trust you. You must be able to fulfill my wish.”

“Yeah. I will find the Unicorn and catch it. Then, I can send it to you as a gift.”

Upon hearing this, Nalan Xi laughed. With such a disciple, he had no regret at all.

He looked at Duanmu Xi with satisfaction and said, “No need. If you can find it, it means that you are destined to meet it. I’ve got Brontosaurus now. Although it is only a holy beast, I like it very much and want to spend the rest of my life with it.”

Duanmu Xi nodded. A holy beast was good too. She trusted her second master’s judgment.

“Okay. You can sign it up in the hall this afternoon. I believe you can defeat all the opponents for sure.”

“Yes.”

In Wisteria Yard.

“Participate in the martial arts tournament?!!”

“Participate in the martial arts tournament?!!”

Situ Kong and Phoenix Five heard Duanmu Xi out and both shouted.

Why did Xi participate in the martial arts tournament? She should focus on medicine refining skills wholeheartedly. The beginners’ contest by the Refining Pharmacists’ Guild would be held half a year later. Although she was talented, she couldn’t treat it lightly!

Phoenix Five didn’t know Her Highness should be so fond of the limelight.

Only Xuanyuan Mo stood aside and said nothing. He believed that Xi must have her own reason for agreeing to that.

“Well, it is my second master’s request,” Duanmu Xi didn’t understand why they got so emotional so she responded casually.

“I will go and talk to him,” after saying that, Situ Kong just disappeared.

He ran away so fast. “Your Highness, do I need to…”

“No need. Given my second master’s eloquence, he will come back soon.”

Duanmu Xi turned around and looked at Xuanyuan Mo aside, “Snow, come with me to sign up for the tournament.”

“Okay.”

Duanmu Xi, Xuanyuan Mo and Phoenix Five headed to the hall of Shengjin Academy together.

On the way, those who met them were all attracted by their gorgeous looks. Male or female, the passers-by all stopped to stare at them and some passers-by even discussed in a low voice.

“Look. The girl in white is Elder Situ’s inner disciple.”

“Oh, I’ve seen her before. She is the beautiful girl who taught the master of the Xue Family at the gate of the academy a lesson that day.”

“So, she is the girl who ruined the young master of the Xue Family.”

“Who is the handsome man next to her? He is so good-looking.”

“I don’t know. I’ve never met him.”

…

In the hall of Shengjin Academy, there were many students to sign up for the tournament. Seeing the long queue, Duanmu Xi furrowed her eyebrows.

“Your Highness, I will queue up for you,” after saying that, Phoenix Five directly went to line up without the approval of Duanmu Xi.

“Humph. Look at that! Isn’t it the Elder Situ’s new inner disciple?” The shrill voice contained a note of sarcasm.

Duanmu Xi slightly frowned and found the voice a bit familiar. She turned around and looked sideways, “It is you?”
