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

Everyone looked upstairs and saw a beautiful girl in white standing at the staircase on the second floor. A handsome man also in white was standing next to her.

Everyone was staring at the two people at the staircase in a trance, immersed in their stunning beauty.

Different from the others, Prince Ning’s pupils immediately shrank when he saw Duanmu Xi’s appearance and her signature purple eyes. He put on a sullen look at once and shouted, “Take them now.”

Hearing his order, the guards all came to their senses and rushed to the second floor.

Duanmu Xi narrowed her dark purple eyes and sneered. Prince Ning had clearly guessed her identity but he still wanted to arrest her. It seemed that he must be on bad terms with her father.

Xuanyuan Mo looked fierce with a shimmer of killing intent flashing across his amber eyes. He flicked his sleeve, throwing the guards running upstairs away.

For the moment, screams incessantly lingered on.

Seeing that his men were all sent flying away, Prince Ning was not furious. Instead, there was a glimmer of appreciation in his black eyes.

He raised his hand to stop the guards from acting and paid no heed to Duanmu Xi. Staring at Xuanyuan Mo, he said in a loud voice, “You are really impressive. I like young people as capable as you. I would like to let my daughter marry you. What do you think?”

The others started to discuss again.

“Prince Ning has a good eye. This young man is a good candidate for his son-in-law. He is not only good-looking but also capable. If I had a daughter, I would like to let her marry him too.”

“This young man is so lucky to be picked by Prince Ning as his son-in-law. He will surely have a meteoric rise and enjoy a high position and great wealth.”

“I’m sorry for the girl. She is really beautiful but she is about to be abandoned.”

…

Hearing the onlookers’ discussion, Prince Ning smiled smugly and asked further, “Well? What’s your decision?”

Xuanyuan Mo looked at Prince Ning coldly and parted his lips, “I’m not interested.”

Then, Xuanyuan Mo hugged Duanmu Xi next to him and looked at her purple eyes, saying, “I’ve already had a wife.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi smiled, which made the people present fascinated again.

On the contrary, Prince Ning stopped smiling, his black eyes full of fury. He said with a sullen look, “You are really ungrateful. It is lucky for you to be my son-in-law. Do you want to do this the easy way or the hard way?”

Prince Ning’s shout made the people compose themselves.

“It is really silly of this young man to refuse to be Prince Ning’s son-in-law. He has wasted such a good opportunity.” If Prince Ning wanted to pick him as the son-in-law, he would say okay without hesitation.

“I’ll say this young man is of good temperament. He doesn’t abandon his wife for power and wealth.” Yet, his wife was also strikingly beautiful.

“His wife is so beautiful. If I were him, I wouldn’t be Prince Ning’s son-in-law either then.” With such a beautiful wife, why would he marry Commandery Princess Jiayi? Commandery Princess Jiayi couldn’t even be compared with his wife’s hair.

Hearing the people’s discussion, Prince Ning felt even angrier and pointed at Xuanyuan Mo, saying furiously, “I’ll give you one more chance. Do you want to die or live?”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo was also wrathful. Glaring at Prince Ning, he said coldly, “Whether I want to die or live is none of your business. I won’t marry your daughter.”

If it were not because Prince Ning was Xi’s uncle, he wouldn’t waste his time talking here.

Completely irritated by Xuanyuan Mo’s words, Prince Ning waved his hand and shouted, “Leng Xin, Leng Qing, take them.”

The moment Prince Ning finished talking, the two guards in black behind him dashed towards Xuanyuan Mo at the staircase but shortly, a group of women in black coming from nowhere surrounded them.

Seeing the group of women in black that were familiar to her, Duanmu Xi was surprised. She shouted at the empty space in front, “Phoenix Five.”

A woman also in black suddenly arose in front of the crowd and then half-knelt before Duanmu Xi, saying respectfully, “Greetings, Your Highness. I’ve arrived late. Please forgive me.”

Duanmu Xi slightly knitted her eyebrows and flicked her sleeve, signaling to Phoenix Five to rise.

“Have my parents also arrived?”

Phoenix Five immediately bowed and said, “Yes, Her Majesty the Empress and His Highness the Royal Consort are both outside the inn.”

The moment Phoenix Five finished talking, Duanmu Xi heard someone snicker.

“Xi, you miss us right?”

Then, a beautiful female voice came.

“Is that so? I don’t think she misses us. Otherwise, why didn’t she go back to visit us?”

The people all looked at the gate and saw a beautiful couple walking from outside, except that they were slightly older. The man, dressed in white clothes, was strikingly handsome, just like an immortal. The woman wearing a luxurious suit had enchanting purple eyes and a stunning appearance.

“Father! Mother!” Upon seeing them, Duanmu Xi flew downstairs with excitement and threw herself into Huangfu Che’s arms.

“Xi, you’ve grown taller,” Huangfu Che stroked Duanmu Xi’s head and said smilingly.

Duanmu Xi raised her head to look at Huangfu Che and Duanmu Xue, asking, “Why do you arrive so fast?”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xue answered with a grin, “We are not fast. It will be three days before your grandpa’s 60th birthday.”

Duanmu Xi nodded and asked, “Did you receive my letter?”

“Of course. We meant to go into the palace to meet your grandpa but upon receiving your letter, we changed our mind and came here to meet you,” answered Huangfu Che.

Seeing Duanmu Xi meeting and talking with her family merrily, Xuanyuan Mo flew downstairs and walked to Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che, saying respectfully, “Your Majesty, Your Highness, you must have a hard time getting here.”

Duanmu Xue patted Xuanyuan Mo’s shoulders smilingly, saying, “Mo, how can you still address us like that? It’s time to change the way you call us.”

Duanmu Xi flushed and turned around in secret.

Xuanyuan Mo knew that Duanmu Xue had misunderstood them for what happened last time but he didn’t explain it. He just said docilely, “Mother.”

His calling Duanmu Xue as mother made Duanmu Xi’s face turn redder. Duanmu Xi cast a fierce glance at Xuanyuan Mo. How dared he call Duanmu Xue this way?

“Ahem… Well…” Huangfu Che was disgruntled aside. He made a fist, put it before his lips and pretended to cough.

The three of them immediately looked at Huangfu Che.

Noticing that Huangfu Che kept glancing at him from time to time, Xuanyuan Mo finally collected himself and called Huangfu Che, “Father.”

Huangfu Che finally nodded with satisfaction and looked at Xuanyuan Mo and Duanmu Xi, saying, “You had better get married as soon as possible.”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo was delighted and even subconsciously raised the corners of his lips, “No problem.”

Duanmu Xi felt so embarrassed. She looked at the three of them with a speechless expression and felt that the three of them were more like a family.

Feeling that someone was gazing at him sullenly, Huangfu Che got up and happened to see Prince Ning stare at him with a gloomy face. Huangfu Che seemed to have just known his presence and then exclaimed in amazement, “Second Imperial Brother? I was wondering who wanted to take away my son-in-law before. So it was you! We haven’t met for 16 years. How is everything going with you?”

Xuanyuan Mo heard Huangfu Che’s words and finally understood the intent of what he had just said.

Xuanyuan Mo understood it. So did Duanmu Xue and Duanmu Xi. They all stood aside and watched the scene quietly.

Prince Ning looked at Huangfu Che whose face was beaming with smiles. A glint of envy and jealousy flashed across his eyes, which was replaced by a false smile at once. He looked at Huangfu Che, saying, “Of course I’m fine. I’ve been home for so many years and never gone far away. Of course everything is fine. On the contrary, you have been married into the Zhuque Empire since you were 15 years old. How are you? Does the empress treat you well?”

Prince Ning asked deliberately in a loud voice as if not seeing Duanmu Xue next to Huangfu Che. It seemed that he wanted to let everyone know the identity of Huangfu Che.

Hearing Prince Ning’s mocking words, Duanmu Xue felt as if her heart were pricked by needles. She clenched her fists tightly and held back her urge to kill him.

Duanmu Xi glared at Prince Ning coldly with her purple eyes full of killing intent. While feeling pitiful for her father, she was also worried about Snow. If anyone insulted Snow like that in the future, she couldn’t take it for sure. Suddenly, she had an urge to marry him.

However, Huangfu Che still showed a smiling face as if nothing had happened, saying to Prince Ning, “Of course, Xue is nice to me. And she also specially accompanies me back for Imperial Father’s birthday.”

After saying that, he also held Duanmu Xue’s hand gently and said, “This is my second brother, Huangfu Zhao. This is Xue, the empress of the Zhuque Empire.”

Prince Ning was stunned by Duanmu Xue. This woman was the empress of the Zhuque Empire, who was stunningly beautiful.

“Oh, your wife is called Xue. She is so…”

Before Prince Ning finished the sentence, someone shouted, “How dare you call the name of the empress? Somebody come and catch him.”

Hearing the instruction, many women in black ran from outside Huanghe Building and put their sabers on Prince Ning’s neck without giving him any chance of resisting.

Duanmu Xi cracked a smile and cast an appreciative glance at Phoenix Five.

Prince Ning stared at Duanmu Xue fiercely with his black eyes.

Seeing that, Phoenix Five shouted, “You rogue! How dare you look into the empress’s face? Lower your head and kneel now!”

Hearing that, Prince Ning didn’t act at all. A glimmer of malice flashed across his black eyes.

Phoenix Five winked at the two phoenix guards who put the sabers on Prince Ning behind him. They immediately took the hint and each kicked a shank of his harshly.

Prince Ning felt pain and immediately knelt before Duanmu Xue.

He struggled to stand up but the two phoenix guards behind him restrained him harshly, making him unable to move at all.

He turned to look at the guards he brought here but they were all restrained. Even the two guards in black were surrounded by a group of phoenix guards.

At the moment, the humiliation on Prince Ning was like constantly enwinding vines, making him unable to breathe at all.
