Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King - Chapter 156

Then, Duanmu Xi entered the side room as if fleeing.

Xuanyuan Mo looked at Duanmu Xi’s running away hurriedly with his amber eyes full of affection.

Shortly, Duanmu Xi put on a white suit and walked out.

When he looked at Duanmu Xi ambling to him slowly, Xuanyuan Mo was slightly in a trance.

How could she be so beautiful? When she was dressed in red, she was so grandly beautiful; when she was dressed in white, she was elegantly beautiful. Either way, she was so strikingly beautiful and fascinating.

“Change your clothes.”

Surprisingly, Xuanyuan Mo didn’t compliment her but asked her to change her clothes.

Duanmu Xi was slightly dazed to hear that. She hung her head in confusion to look at the white clothes. After scrutinizing her clothes, she didn’t find anything wrong.

“There is nothing wrong with the clothes. Are the clothes not pretty?”

Xuanyuan Mo didn’t answer the question. Instead, he walked to the fifth door of the wardrobe and opened it. He took out a set of red clothes and passed it to Duanmu Xi, “Wear this.”

The corner of Duanmu Xi’s lips twitched. She finally understood the saying–“Do not impose on others what you do not desire.” The clothes that Xuanyuan Mo was holding were of the same type as the clothes he was wearing now, except that the clothes were for women.

Duanmu Xi took the red clothes from Xuanyuan Mo resignedly and entered the side room again.

Xuanyuan Mo opened the door and looked at Phoenix Five outside the door, saying, “Go and fetch a basin of water.”

“Yes.” Phoenix Five took the order and immediately bowed herself out.

Very quickly, Duanmu Xi put on the red clothes and came out. She lowered her head and pulled her hemline awkwardly.

Xuanyuan Mo looked at Duanmu Xi dressed in red and his eyes became passionate. He complimented, “You look so beautiful in red!”

“Really?” Duanmu Xi took a glance at Xuanyuan Mo suspiciously and lowered her head to pull the hemline again. Why did she feel so awkward?

Xuanyuan Mo went forward and directly held Duanmu Xi into his arms. He bent his head and whispered to her ear, “I want to hide you away so badly!’

When Duanmu Xi heard that, her heart clenched all of a sudden. “Snow…” she murmured.

Snow had said the same words before, “I really want to hide you somewhere for me only…”

When would the old Snow come back?

Phoenix Five carried the basin inside and saw the couple cuddling together. She turned around with embarrassment and slightly curled her lips. Her Highness and Mr. Xuanyuan seemed to have been back to the past. It was so nice!

Upon seeing Phoenix Five, Duanmu Xi pushed away Xuanyuan Mo with a slightly red face and glared at him.

Xuanyuan Mo looked disapprovingly at Phoenix Five and ordered, “Put down the water and get out!”

“Yes.” Phoenix Five heard the order and gently put down the basin. Then, she got out of the room and meanwhile closed the door for them.

After washing up, they had breakfast together and went into the imperial palace.

The palace maids and the eunuchs were fascinated and bewitched to see this couple walking here with their hands held together.

“Prince Zhan looks so charming in red…”

“Princess Consort Zhan is so beautiful…”

“They are meant for each other…”

Hearing the compliments, Xuanyuan Mo couldn’t help curling his lips. Never had he known these people had good taste.

“Aren’t we going to meet your father?” Duanmu Xi looked at the Yingyue Palace not far away and asked.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo cracked a faint smile, “Let’s go to meet your grandpa and parents first. As to my father, you may go and meet him if you want. And it won’t matter if you don’t.”

He took her into the palace not to let her serve tea to his father. If it were not because her grandpa and parents lived in the imperial palace, he wouldn’t allow her to get up and enter the palace so early.

If Xuanyuan Lie knew about Xuanyuan Mo’s thoughts, he might be angered to death. The tea served by his daughter-in-law, which he had longed to have, was gone due to Xuanyuan Mo’s words.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi turned to look at Xuanyuan Mo with a smile. His performance today was quite satisfactory!

Staring at Duanmu Xi’s brilliant smile, Xuanyuan Mo was bewitched and then bent down to kiss her on the lips.

With a red face, Duanmu Xi turned to look around carefully. He was so cheeky. They were outside now.

Seeing Duanmu Xi’s bashful look, Xuanyuan Mo held her hands and entered the Yingyue Palace in a good mood.

After they left, a man walked out from behind the artificial hill aside.

Gazing at them walking far away, Xuanyuan Hao narrowed his black eyes maliciously.

He thought, “Xuanyuan Mo, she’ll be mine sooner or later. Wait and see!”

No sooner had Xuanyuan Mo and Duanmu Xi arrived at the main hall of the Yingyue Palace than they heard a shrill sigh.

“Alas. Crown Princess of Zhuque is such a great woman. It’s so unlucky for her to marry Mo. She deserves a better man.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo outside the hall both stopped at the same time.

Duanmu Xi knitted her eyebrows. Who was inside? What did she mean by that?

A glint of annoyance flashed across Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes. What did this woman come here for?

Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che in the hall also frowned at the same time when they heard that. Why on earth did this woman come to the Yingyue Palace early in the morning?

Looking at the affected woman in front, Duanmu Xue asked disgruntledly, “Your Majesty, what do you mean?”

Upon hearing Duanmu Xue mention “Your Majesty”, Duanmu Xi standing outside the hall knitted her eyebrows and subconsciously turned to look at Xuanyuan Mo aside. Yet, she saw he was poker-faced. Evidently, he also recognized that woman’s voice.

Guo Hui’er looked at the impatient Duanmu Xue up there and puckered her lips in secret. She was disdainful of Duanmu Xue and only regarded the latter as an ignorant woman.

Then, she put on a pitiful look and said to Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che, “I suppose there is something you don’t know. Mo is not a normal human. He is a bloodthirsty half-demon.”

Xuanyuan Mo outside the hall put on a cold face. His enigmatic eyes instantly turned into a bottomless abyss.

With an angry look, Duanmu Xi felt that Xuanyuan Mo was holding her hand increasingly tightly. Her heart ached severely.

Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che were both surprised to hear that. Xuanyuan Mo was a half-demon. Why didn’t Xi tell them about that?

Seeing their surprised facial expressions, Guo Hui’er was complacent. She knew that they hadn’t known this. If they had known Xuanyuan Mo was a half-demon, how could they allow their daughter to marry him?

A shimmer of malice flashed across her drooping triangle eyes. She figured that Xuanyuan Mo must be doomed this time. In her eyes, Empress and Royal Consort of Zhuque wouldn’t let their daughter stay in Baihu for sure after knowing that he was a wolf monster.

If His Majesty hadn’t had her grounded, how could she have let Xuanyuan Mo marry Crown Princess of Zhuque so easily? She knew that His Majesty was afraid that she would ruin Xuanyuan Mo’s wedding. However, the more he cared about Xuanyuan Mo, the more she hated him.

On what ground could the brat born by that wretch gain his favor? On what ground could Xuanyuan Mo get to marry such an exalted woman as Crown Princess of Zhuque? She must make Xuanyuan Mo lose everything.

When she raised her head again, she looked gentle, “Mo’s mother was a wolf monster. There’s monster blood in his veins. Every full-moon night, he will turn into a murderous wolf monster. I just feel sorry for Crown Princess of Zhuque. I’m afraid that Mo will hurt her if he goes mad in the future.”

Xuanyuan Mo looked cold, his eyes faintly filled with murderous intent.

The more Duanmu Xi heard, the angrier she became. Her dark purple eyes raged with fury. She raised her legs and wanted to rush into the hall to argue against the vicious woman but she was stopped by Xuanyuan Mo.

Xuanyuan Mo grabbed Duanmu Xi’s hand tightly as if using up all his strength.

He didn’t understand that as a beast god, why he would feel such a sense of inferiority. The sense of inferiority seemed to be hidden in the depths of the body. What that woman said just now almost dug out all his sense of inferiority.

He could ignore others’ judgments but he cared about her thoughts. He didn’t even dare to look into her eyes. He was afraid to see detestation and fear in her eyes.

Looking at the woman who acted so badly, Duanmu Xue snorted, “You are such an amiable mother. You keep addressing him as Mo affectionately and meanwhile malign him dreadfully by calling him a bloodthirsty wolf monster. With such an empress who loves acting, no wonder there are so many theatrical troupes in the Baihu Empire. Yet, given your current acting skills, you still need to learn from those actresses.”

Hearing that, Huangfu Che slightly curled his lips and looked at Duanmu Xue with his black eyes full of affection.

Upon hearing Duanmu Xue’s words, Duanmu Xi outside the hall also smiled. Her mother was so great, who could denounce the woman without using a foul word.

Xuanyuan Mo was somewhat relieved.

Hearing that Duanmu Xue compared her to an actress, Guo Hui’er directly jumped up with anger, pointed at Duanmu Xue and meant to argue back, “You…”

Guo Hui’er’s action directly pissed off Duanmu Xue. She put on a cold look and narrowed her dark purple eyes maliciously, “Here is the advice for you. Think twice before you act.”

Who was this woman? How dared Guo Hui’er point fingers at her like that? If it were not for the sake of Xuanyuan Lie, she would directly slap Guo Hui’er to death.

Duanmu Xue’s majestic demeanor made Guo Hui’er shut up at once and slowly put down her hand. Yet, Guo Hui’er still glared at Duanmu Xue sinisterly with her triangle eyes.

Empress of Zhuque was not simple indeed. Guo Hui’er had never been so threatened by far. Even Xuanyuan Lie didn’t dare to talk with her this way. She realized that Empress of Zhuque couldn’t be underestimated.

Guo Hui’er took a deep breath and collected herself, saying, “I only want to give you a kind reminder. If anything untoward happens to Crown Princess of Zhuque, it’ll be too late for you to regret it.”

Duanmu Xue snorted, “I don’t need you to worry about my daughter and son-in-law. You had better worry about your own son.”

Duanmu Xue had heard that Guo Hui’er’s son was a useless good-for-nothing but judging from Guo Hui’er’s behaviors, Duanmu Xue knew whom her son took after. Duanmu Xue didn’t understand why Xuanyuan Lie made such a woman his empress. He had such bad taste.
