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

Four? The corners of Duanmu Xi’s mouth twitched. It appeared that she still knew too little about Snow. Hence, she raised her head and asked further, “What is the last one apart from the wind, fire and ice spiritual roots?”

“The earth spiritual root.” This time, Xuanyuan Mo harnessed his ice dragon carefully without casting a glance at Duanmu Xi.

The ice dragon flew very fast and arrived at the Ghost Valley within a blink of an eye.

Being in the Ghost Valley again, Duanmu Xi felt as if having survived a disaster.

Once the ice dragon stopped, Huangfu Yu and the others got off its back with their limbs stiff. Gee, the ice dragon must be even colder than the thousand-year-old cold jade. They had only sat on it for a short time but their limbs were still numb in cold.

Because the Ghost Valley was very small, there were no big carriages in the market. They only found two ordinary small ones and hired a carriage driver. Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo sat in one carriage; Huangfu Yu and Mu Jianfeng in the other one, and Huangfu Yu’s guard drove the carriage for them.

Because they were not in a hurry, they had a stop-and-go trip and finally arrived at the capital of the Qinglong Empire seven days later.

Staring at the familiar street outside the window, Huangfu Yu lifted the curtain and ordered the guard, “Stop.”

The guard nodded and then stopped the carriage as told.

Huangfu Yu leaped off the carriage. Seeing that, Mu Jianfeng also jumped off the carriage. Smelling the familiar smell in the air, Mu Jianfeng inhaled a breath comfortably. He felt so good about coming back home.

Huangfu Yu walked to Duanmu Xi’s carriage and called gently, “Xi.”

Upon hearing his voice, Duanmu Xi lifted the curtain and looked at Huangfu Yu outside the carriage, “What’s the matter?”

“My home is ahead. Come back with me. I think my parents must want to meet you,” Huangfu Yu said to Duanmu Xi, pointing at a luxurious mansion in front.

Duanmu Xi took a look at the luxurious mansion pointed at by Huangfu Yu and saw the magnificent plaque that wrote Prince Xuan’s Mansion in gold letters.

Duanmu Xi pondered for a while with a frown and said to Huangfu Yu, “I came too hurriedly to prepare the meeting gifts. When we are ready next time, we will come to visit them then.”

Hearing that, Huangfu Yu slightly knitted his eyebrows and wanted to say something else but he was interrupted by Mu Jianfeng aside.

“If you don’t dwell in Prince Xuan’s Mansion, you can stay at my home. My home is not far away. It is four or five blocks away only.” Mu Jianfeng invited them passionately. He was in favor and awe of Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo.

With the corners of her lips slightly curled, Duanmu Xi said, “No, we will stay in the inn, which is comfortable for us.” Sojourning at other people’s homes was too uncomfortable. She disliked it.

Hearing that, Huangfu Yu bit back his words and took a look at Duanmu Xi, saying resignedly, “Why don’t you go to Huanghe Building ahead? That is the best restaurant and inn in the capital. The manager is my friend. If you want to find me, you just tell him and I will be informed.”

Duanmu Xi nodded and said, “Okay.”

She turned around and ordered the carriage driver, “Go to Huanghe Building.”

The carriage driver said okay bashfully. After Duanmu Xi went back into the carriage, he raised his whip and shouted, “Giddyap.”

Shortly, the carriage driver saw a chestnut running towards them. Before he could see them clearly, the two horses suddenly hit each other.

Duanmu Xi in the carriage heard the messy clatter of horses’ hoofs, the carriage driver’s screams and the horses’ neighs. Then, the carriage suddenly shook.

Duanmu Xi immediately thought that it was a car crash. To her surprise, there could be a car accident in ancient times. She was about to get off the carriage when she heard a woman’s overbearing voice.

“You damned riff-raff! How dare you run into my horse? You are courting death! Somebody come and arrest the riff-raff.”

“Yes.” Upon hearing the instruction, the guards all went forward to capture the carriage driver but they were sent flying away by the mysterious Qi from within the carriage before they could reach the carriage driver.

“How dare you!” The cold voice was shocking to everyone present.

The onlookers all looked at the ordinary carriage. Some bold ones even started to gossip in a low voice.

“Who is in the carriage? I can’t believe that he has the nerve to pick on Commandery Princess Jiayi.”

“The carriage is so ordinary. The people sitting in there can’t be any big shots,” a man in cyan scrutinized the carriage and the ordinarily-dressed carriage driver thrown to the ground and said.

A man in black immediately refuted, “Not necessarily. Didn’t you see that a streak of mysterious Qi struck from inside the carriage sent more than ten guards flying away just now? Besides, I seemed to see the mysterious Qi was black just now.”

The last sentence was uttered by the man in black in a lower voice because he didn’t see that clearly. At that time, the mysterious Qi went so fast that the people couldn’t see clearly what color it was. He just saw some black air.

The man in cyan was slack-jawed in awe. It was black mysterious Qi, which meant that the person in the carriage was a Mysterious Saint. He must be really capable. No wonder he could send those guards flying away with one strike. He couldn’t be simple.

Commandery Princess Jiayi’s heart also clenched in fear due to the cold voice but on second thoughts, no one among the bigwigs she knew sounded like that. Then, she became bolder.

“The riff-raff in the carriage, get out if you dare to,” Commandery Princess Jiayi pointed at the carriage arrogantly and clamored.

“Who is the riff-raff cursing?” It was a melodious and cold female voice coming out of the carriage this time.

“The riff-raff is cursing you,” Commandery Princess Jiayi answered without thinking.

“Oh, it turns out that the riff-raff is cursing me.” The cold female voice contained satisfaction.

Duanmu Xi in the carriage was smiling. She learned this verbal trick in modern times. Unexpectedly, she used it here today. She felt so great to talk back with the insulter’s insult.

Listening aside, Xuanyuan Mo also curled the corner of his lips, his amber eyes full of affection.

The onlookers outside the carriage all burst into laughter. People all disliked Commandery Princess Jiayi. She always called the common people riff-raff just because she was an imperial family member. She was too outrageous.

Suddenly, everyone wanted to see what kind of girl had such a beautiful voice and a quick-witted mind.

Hearing that, Commandery Princess Jiayi was fumed with anger. She turned to shout at the guards groaning in pain on the ground, “You rubbish! Go and capture the people in the carriage now!”

However, no matter how she flared up, none of the guards got up from the ground.

She had underestimated Xuanyuan Mo. Although he didn’t mean to kill them, he could let them lie on the bed for recuperation for half a month at least.

“A bunch of useless people.” Commandery Princess Jiayi flicked her sleeves in anger at the guards on the ground and took a look at the curtain of the carriage viciously with her black eyes. Then, she picked up the saber of the guard that had dropped to the ground and then threw it at the carriage.

Another streak of mysterious Qi was struck from inside the carriage again. The saber that was about to get into the carriage shifted the direction at once and went to Commandery Princess Jiayi rapidly.

Commandery Princess Jiayi had never experienced this before. Her legs immediately went limp in fear. Fortunately, the guards lying on the ground behind dragged her, which saved her life.

At the moment, the curtain of the carriage was lightly lifted, from which a couple dressed in white got out.

For the moment, everyone became quiet. There was dead silence now. They all stared at the couple on the carriage with fascination.

Even Commandery Princess Jiayi was also bewitched. The man was so beautiful! She had never seen such a beautiful man. She felt that she had fallen in love with him only with one glance.

With his arms around Duanmu Xi’s waist, Xuanyuan Mo flew off the carriage and landed before Commandery Princess Jiayi.

Commandery Princess Jiayi’s obsessed expression made Xuanyuan Mo and Duanmu Xi frown at the same time.

“If you dare to do this again, the punishment will not be as light as today.” The voice was cold and fierce.

Xuanyuan Mo didn’t want to see the woman’s stupidly obsessed face anymore. He directly held Duanmu Xi and walked in the direction of Huanghe Building.

Xuanyuan Mo was gone. Commandery Princess Jiayi immediately came to her senses, got up from the ground quickly and ran to Xuanyuan Mo. While chasing, she shouted, “Hey, Mister, hold on!”

Xuanyuan Mo heard Commandery Princess Jiayi’s calling and immediately pulled a long face. He started to give off the fierce air again.

Duanmu Xi’s dark purple eyes flickered faintly with fierceness as well. She really wanted to kill this flirty woman.

When Commandery Princess Jiayi was about to reach the hemline of Xuanyuan Mo’s clothes, Xuanyuan Mo immediately spurted out a streak of black mysterious Qi, which directly sent Commandery Princess Jiayi flying away.

This damned woman wanted to grab his clothes. She was risking her neck.

Now, everyone finally saw clearly Xuanyuan Mo’s black mysterious Qi in awe.

“I cannot believe there should be such a young Mysterious Saint!”

“Yeah, he is probably the youngest Mysterious Saint on the Hantian Continent.”

“His background can’t be simple or else why wouldn’t he fall for Commandery Princess Jiayi?”

“What’s your problem? With that beautiful girl in white around, why would he fall for Commandery Princess Jiayi?”

“That’s true. If I were him, I would choose that girl in white too. She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life.”

“Only the man next to her deserves to be with that kind of pretty girl.”

Xuanyuan Mo paid no heed to the crowd’s gossiping and directly led Duanmu Xi into Huanghe Building.

“A top-class room.” Xuanyuan Mo took out a purple crystal from his arms and threw it to the counter.

While watching the fun in the street, the inn manager had known the capability of Xuanyuan Mo. Now, he surely didn’t dare to take them lightly. While giving them the room tag, he ordered the dumbstruck waiter, “Usher the two clients to Room Heaven No. 9.”

The manager’s instruction made the waiter slightly sober, “Please come with me.”

After saying, he turned around and instantly hit the fence of the stairs. Instead of feeling pain, he snickered and continued leading the way for Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo.

After they entered the room, Duanmu Xi wrote a letter to Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che, telling them that she had arrived at the capital of the Qinglong Empire and sojourned at Huanghe Building for now.

Xuanyuan Mo watched Duanmu Xi release the homing pigeon and walked to the window to hug Duanmu Xi from behind, “Are you tired?”

Hearing Xuanyuan Mo’s deep and husky voice, Duanmu Xi leaned backward and pressed her weight on Xuanyuan Mo behind her. She raised her head and looked at his affectionate eyes, “I won’t feel tired in this way!”

Seeing Duanmu Xi’s naughty look, Xuanyuan Mo was swayed. A joking glint flashed across his eyes, “You regard me as a bed? My pay is very high!”

While talking banteringly, Xuanyuan Mo bent down and meant to press his lips on Duanmu Xi’s.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi slightly flushed. Looking at the handsome face getting nearer and nearer, Duanmu Xi slowly closed her eyes.

Suddenly, a hurried knock on the door sounded in her ears. She immediately opened her eyes.

Xuanyuan Mo’s amber eyes glistened with anger but he still pressed his lips on Duanmu Xi’s soft lips, his tongue squeezing into her mouth and dancing with her slippery tongue.

Duanmu Xi couldn’t be as reckless as Xuanyuan Mo. She kept peeping at the door and someone was still knocking on it nonstop.

“Hello? Emergency!” The waiter asked anxiously.

Xuanyuan Mo finally released Duanmu Xi gently, his beautiful face clouded with gloominess. With a flick of his sleeve, the door was opened automatically. The waiter almost fell into the room.

“What’s the matter?”

His cold voice sent a shiver down the waiter’s spine. The waiter tremblingly ran into the room and said to Xuanyuan Mo, “Prince Ning is coming here to arrest you with his men. The manager asks me to take you away through the back door.”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo and Duanmu Xi frowned at the same time.

“Noted. Get out!” Xuanyuan Mo looked at the waiter who was waiting for them anxiously and asked him to leave.

The waiter was taken aback. He didn’t expect that these two people still looked so calm upon hearing that Prince Ning was coming to arrest them. Then, thinking of the manager’s instruction, he added, “But…”

“Get out.” This time, Xuanyuan Mo’s voice was somewhat colder than before.

The waiter immediately shut up and didn’t dare to utter another word. He retreated from the room quickly and also closed the door.

He wiped his sweat on his forehead with sleeves and had a retrospective fear. That man was too terrifying to approach. The waiter had worked in Huanghe Building for so many years and he had met various kinds of people. He even often met the princes or heirs of princes but none of them was so horrid as this man. Their majestic bearing couldn’t be compared with his either.

Now, before Huanghe Building, Prince Ning led a group of soldiers to besiege the whole Huanghe Building.

Upon seeing Prince Ning, the manager immediately knelt at the gate to receive him.

“Greetings, Your Highness.”

Prince Ning grabbed the manager’s collars and said fiercely, “Where are the man and the woman? Bring them here.”

The manager kept trembling but showed no fear in his black eyes, answering in a low voice, “Your Highness, I wonder who you are referring to.”

Prince Ning threw the manager to the ground dismissively and waved his hand, “Search the building.”

The guards all acted upon hearing the order when a cold female voice came from upstairs.

“Are you looking for me?”
