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

Duanmu Xi sat with Xuanyuan Mo and Mei Luo. Now, she was grilling the meat of the spiritual beast for them.

“Dear Xi.” The gentle and beautiful male voice sounded rather melodious at the quiet night.

Hearing the voice, Duanmu Xi raised her head, saw Huangfu Yu who walked to her unknowingly and slightly knitted her eyebrows, “Call me Duanmu Xi or Xi.”

After being slightly dazed, Huangfu Yu understood what Duanmu Xi meant and then accepted her advice, “Xi, may I have a moment with you?”

“Third Master, here you are. Please try the meat I grilled.” Duanmu Xi seemed not to hear him. She just cut off a trunk of the grilled meat of the spiritual beast and passed it to Mei Luo next to her.

Mei Luo took it, had a bite and said with a nod, “It tastes quite good.”

Duanmu Xi heard the praise and her lips curved into a smile. Then, she cut off another trunk of meat and passed it to Huangfu Yu who was still waiting for her answer, “Would you like to try it?”

“Of course, thank you.” Huangfu Yu was stunned and then took the grilled meat with flattery. He took a bite of the meat decently. It was tender inside and crispy outside. Indeed, it was delicious!

While Huangfu Yu took the grilled meat, Duanmu immediately felt that gusts of frigid wind blew by on her left side. Hence, she quickly cut off a trunk of grilled meat and passed it to the left side.

Xuanyuan Mo looked at the meat given to him and his gloomy handsome face instantly became delighted.

Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Mo smiling faintly and also grinned. This man’s mood was changed so quickly.

Huangfu Yu looked at this mysterious girl ahead. She was so honorable but she would grill meat for her close people; she was indifferent but she still smiled at him anyway; she didn’t allow him to call her Dear Xi but she let him call her Xi; she paid no heed to him the last moment and then she sent him some grilled meat. Born in an imperial family, he had met various kinds of people. He could see through various kinds of people but he couldn’t see through her.

“Just say it if anything. Master and Snow are not outsiders.”

Duanmu Xi’s sudden interruption broke Huangfu Yu’s thought.

Huangfu Yu looked at Xuanyuan Mo and Mei Luo and then said, “How is Imperial Uncle doing?”

Imperial Uncle? He was asking about her father?

“He is doing well.” When she mentioned her father, Duanmu Xi’s voice was no longer apathetic but a bit soft.

Hearing that, Huangfu Yu slightly nodded and thought, “I’ve heard that the empress of the Zhuque Empire loves Imperial Uncle very much. And he is her only husband. With such a loving wife and an adorable daughter, Imperial Uncle must be very happy!”

Back then, he didn’t understand why such an incomparably handsome man as Imperial Uncle would give up his position of the crown prince for a woman and even marry into the matriarchal Zhuque Empire. Even though Imperial Uncle became the royal consort, it was unacceptable for ordinary men. Now, when he saw Duanmu Xi, he finally understood why Imperial Uncle made such a decision. Faced with such an enchanting girl, he would definitely make the same decision as Imperial Uncle did. It was a pity that they were cousins.

After a moment of silence, Huangfu Yu said slowly, “Imperial Grandpa misses Imperial Uncle very much.”

Grandpa? She hadn’t met him for five or six years, “How is Grandpa doing?”

Duanmu Xi’s suddenly softened voice took Huangfu Yu by surprise. He quickly came to his senses and said, “Imperial Grandpa is doing well, except that he misses Imperial Uncle very much.” Imperial Grandpa loved him best among all the juniors simply because he looked like Imperial Uncle most. Imperial Uncle must be really outstanding so that Imperial Grandpa missed him so much. If Imperial Grandpa met her, he must like her very much. She took after Imperial Uncle a lot.

“Father misses Grandpa very much too and they will meet soon. My parents will go back and celebrate Grandpa’s 60th birthday.” She would go too. She wanted to meet Grandpa. Whether he was the same as the one in modern times, he was her grandpa.

“Really? That’s terrific. Imperial Grandpa must be very happy.” Huangfu Yu was somewhat excited. He really wanted to tell Imperial Grandpa about the good news right away. Since Imperial Uncle married into the Zhuque Empire, he had never returned to the Qinglong Empire. They hadn’t seen each other for more than ten years. Even the juniors missed him very much, let alone Imperial Grandpa.

Xuanyuan Mo listened to their conversation and smiled subconsciously. His Xi was so extraordinary. Huangfu Yu called his uncle and grandpa Imperial Uncle, Imperial Grandpa respectively. This might be a habit of an imperial family member. On the contrary, imperial family member as Xi was, she addressed them as Father and Grandpa. She even called the empress of the Zhuque Empire Mother as the ordinary people did. Without the coldness of the imperial family, there was only warmth of ordinary families.

Standing in the distance, Feng Xifan was staring at Duanmu Xi. He kind of envied Huangfu Yu being able to sit there and talk with her but it was also bliss for him to look at her from the distance.

It was getting darker and darker. Mei Luo didn’t arrange with the students for guarding at night. Instead, she and Xuanyuan Mo took turns to keep watch at night. Unlike the daytime, many gregarious spiritual beasts preferred to forage at night. If they didn’t stay vigilant anytime, they would probably be in big trouble.

Xuanyuan Mo looked at Duanmu Xi sleeping well in his arms and pulled the black cloak on her body upward. Such a scene was a bit familiar. He recalled they met in the water curtain cave. Back then, she thought that it was the first time they had met each other. Actually, he had thought about her for one year. Since when did he start to love her? Maybe it was when he met her for the first time, or when she stood forward and protected him fearlessly, or when she fought with Lanze recklessly. Anyway, it was long, long ago.

The sudden noise in the woods around made Xuanyuan Mo instantly alert. He raised his head and glanced at the dark woods, his amber eyes full of seriousness.

“Xi.”

Xuanyuan Mo’s shout woke up Duanmu Xi and Mei Luo. They looked around vigilantly and became astonished at the same time.

“Xi, wake up the others quickly.” Mei Luo looked into the darkness with a stern facial expression.

“Okay.” Duanmu Xi looked at the unknown things that were coming at them again and walked to the place where Hua Ye’er and the others were sleeping.

A moment later, all the people woke up and sensed the approaching danger. They all ran to Xuanyuan Mo and Mei Luo.

As the unknown things approached, the rustling sound around became louder and louder.

Staring at the unknown things swarming toward them from all directions, they were all dumbstruck, “Gee… What are those things?”

“What on earth are they? How come there are so many of them?” The momentum was several times greater than that when the Frozen White Bears rushed over. It was all dark ahead. It was difficult to see clearly the number.

Within a blink of an eye, a big rush of black waves had flooded in front of all.

“They… They are rats!” Chu Lian’er had been slack-jawed by thousands of rats before her.

“Argh…” Xiahou Shan screamed and hid behind Lian Zhengyu.

Hua Ye’er didn’t scream as Xiahou Shan did but she had fear in her eyes too and couldn’t help moving towards Xue Luochen.

Even Hua Xian’er looked pale in horror.

Duanmu Xi was expressionless but her dark purple eyes were filled with disgust. She was not afraid of rats but they were the animals she hated most.

The men didn’t look horrified but they were gooseflesh all over.

“Everyone, be careful.” Xue Luochen shook off the black rats that got on his body and suddenly looked shocked, “These are Hundred Flowers Rats.”

Xue Luochen drew Hua Ye’er over and covered her mouth and nose with his sleeves. Hua Ye’er looked up at Xue Luochen in confusion and didn’t understand his intent.

Upon hearing the three words–Hundred Flowers Rats, Xuanyuan Mo moved to Duanmu Xi instantly and covered her mouth and nose with his sleeves.

Those who knew the Hundred Flowers Rat were all startled and covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves. Those who didn’t were confused but they still followed the others’ examples.

Duanmu Xi furrowed her eyebrows and looked at the countless black rats ahead with her dark purple eyes. Were the rats all poisonous?

“It smells so fragrant!” Chu Lian’er smelled the scent of flowers appearing out of nowhere with a fascinated look.

“It smells so fragrant for real. It smells so good.” Xiahou Shan rolled down her sleeves as well and smelled the scent of flowers in the air greedily.

“Don’t smell!” Seeing quite some people all rolled down their sleeves, Xue Luochen was greatly frantic. The Hundred Flowers Rats were shocking not because of the large quantity but because they would release a fragrant scent. The scent would make one hallucinate and bewilder him.

Mei Luo glanced at those who had been bewildered and then said coldly, “Stop shouting. It’s too late.”

Seeing the Hundred Flowers Rats itching for action ahead, Mei Luo narrowed her beautiful eyes, “Here is the thing. Those who can cast fire spiritual magic stand at the periphery and burn off the Hundred Flowers Rats with your fire spiritual magic. Those who cannot stay inside. The sober ones must take care of the unalive ones.”

Feng Xifan disgustedly looked at Chu Lian’er who kept getting on him and dragged over Yue Ruye standing next to him. After pushing Chu Lian’er to him, Feng Xifan turned around and left decisively.

“Hey, Xifan, wait…” Yue Ruye stared at Feng Xifan going away and then looked at the spellbound Chu Lian’er in his arms. He was totally at a loss and felt that he was holding a hot potato.

Lian Zhengyu was also holding a hot potato. When he looked at Xiahou Shan who kept pulling her own clothes, his black eyes were full of aversion.
