Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King - Chapter 157

Duanmu Xue caught a glimpse of Guo Hui’er who was burning with anger and directly asked the latter to leave.

“My husband and I are going to have a meal. Goodbye then.”

She didn’t want to waste her time on this woman. Xi and Mo were arriving. She didn’t want them to be bothered by this woman.

Guo Hui’er widened her eyes at Duanmu Xue and felt shocked that Duanmu Xue dared to ask her to leave. This was the Baihu Empire, not the Zhuque Empire. If she were not Empress of Zhuque, she would definitely hack her into pieces.

She cast a resentful glance at Duanmu Xue. With a flick of her sleeve, she walked out of the hall. The moment she arrived at the door, she heard a cold male voice behind.

“Since Mo and Xi are married, whether he is of wolf descent or not, he is the son-in-law of Zhuque and Qinglong. If we hear any slanderous rumors about him ever again, we will pursue the matter for sure.”

The unhurried voice contained determination.

Xuanyuan Mo outside the hall was touched to hear Huangfu Che’s words. His amber eyes glittered with unknown light. In his memory, no one else but his grandpa and father had ever defended him like this.

Guo Hui’er heard that and hedged. Her hands drooping on both sides of her body were balled into fists. Her long fingernails almost sank into her palms but she didn’t feel any pain at all. Her slightly drooping eyes were filled with deep resentment.

A moment later, she got out of the main hall. When she saw Xuanyuan Mo and Duanmu Xi outside the hall, she was slightly dazed. Then, she glared at them maliciously and with a snort, she left the Yingyue Palace at a stride.

Duanmu Xi looked at Guo Hui’er going away and slightly narrowed her dark purple eyes.

Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes glittered with fierceness. He would deal with these women who had hurt his mother sooner or later.

“Xi?” An amiable voice sounded behind the two of them.

Hearing that, they turned to look back. Upon seeing Huangfu Cang, Situ Kong and Nalan Xi, Duanmu Xi directly let go of Xuanyuan Mo’s hand and ran to them happily, “Grandpa, Chief Master, Second Master.”

Xuanyuan Mo looked at his empty hand and felt a bit frustrated.

He took two steps forward and slightly bowed to the three of them, “Greetings, Grandfather, Chief Master and Second Master.”

Huangfu Cang looked at Xuanyuan Mo and slightly nodded, “Since you and Xi are married, just call me grandpa as Xi does.”

Xuanyuan Mo was slightly dazed to hear that and then replied, “Yes, Grandpa.”

Duanmu Xi looked behind the three of them and asked in confusion, “Where is Third Master? Why doesn’t she come here with you?”

Hearing that, Nalan Xi said, “We went to her room just now and didn’t find her. Maybe she has gone out.”

Situ Kong also said, “Your third master is always as elusive as ever. You don’t have to worry about her. Maybe she will come later.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi nodded. Well, she should go to Third Master’s room on her own later.

Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che heard the noise and then walked out. They were slightly surprised to see Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo outside.

Upon seeing Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che, Xuanyuan Mo went forward to salute them, “Greetings, Father, Mother.”

Looking at Xuanyuan Mo, Duanmu Xue felt a bit of a guilty conscience and made him rise, “Xi, Mo, when did you arrive? Why don’t you come inside?”

When did they arrive? She wondered whether they had heard what that woman said just now.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo wanted to respond.

However, Duanmu Xi talked first, “We’ve been here for quite a while. We just noticed that you had a visitor so we didn’t go inside to disturb you.”

Duanmu Xue was slightly dazed. She frowned and looked at Xuanyuan Mo with worry, “So, you heard the conversation just now?”

Seeing Duanmu Xue’s worried eyes, Xuanyuan Mo felt so moved that his heart melted.

“Of course we did. You are so eloquent that you rendered that bad woman so speechless,” Duanmu Xi went forward to hold Duanmu Xue’s arm and complimented.

Duanmu Xue curled her lips and gently pointed at Duanmu Xi’s forehead, saying, “Stop singing my praises. Give us an explanation now!”

Huangfu Cang, Situ Kong and Nalan Xi who arrived afterward heard their conversation and all felt confused but they didn’t ask anything.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi pouted in disgruntlement, “Mother, do you really believe that bad woman’s words? Yeah, Snow is of wolf descent indeed but he is definitely not a bloodthirsty wolf monster. He does turn into a snow wolf every full-moon night but after he becomes a snow wolf, he has no attacking capability at all. He cannot even protect himself. How can he kill people? That woman was clearly defaming Snow.”

Hearing Duanmu Xi’s words, Huangfu Cang, Situ Kong and Nalan Xi all looked at Xuanyuan Mo in amazement. They didn’t expect that he should be of wolf descent.

Xuanyuan Mo’s heart thumped. His eyes were filled with mixed feelings of surprise, warmth and affection.

She knew that he had the wolf blood in his veins and that he would become a wolf every full-moon night but she was not afraid at all. Neither did she hate him. She just defended him all the time and even gave up everything in order to marry him.

At the moment, he finally saw through his feelings. He loved her. He didn’t know whether he would recover his memory or how much he loved her before but he would never let go. He would love her more than before.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xue raised her head and looked at Xuanyuan Mo, her dark purple eyes containing a bit of worry. She didn’t expect that Mo was really of wolf descent and would take the form of a wolf every full-moon night. Although Xi said that he wouldn’t kill people, she was still worried that Xi would be hurt if Xi was with him.

Duanmu Xi felt Duanmu Xue’s worry and her heart sank.

She walked back to Xuanyuan Mo, held his hand and then looked at Duanmu Xue, saying with determination, “I trust Snow. He will never hurt me.”

She knew that it was her mother’s concern but she believed that Snow would never hurt her no matter what he became.

Xuanyuan Mo turned to look at Duanmu Xi, his amber eyes full of affection. He also slowly held Duanmu Xi’s hand increasingly tightly. If possible, he wanted to hold her hand for a lifetime and never let go.

Duanmu Xue slightly frowned and looked at Xuanyuan Mo, saying meaningfully, “I’d believe that he wouldn’t hurt you if he didn’t lose his memory. Now that he can’t remember you at all, how can I be reassured that you are with him?”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi was a bit anxious. She wanted to refute when she heard a determined voice aside.

“I won’t hurt her. Whether I remember her or not, my love for her will never change. I will never hurt her. So, please don’t take her away from me.”

Then, he knelt on one knee in front of Duanmu Xue.

All the people present were shocked to see that. Xuanyuan Mo always looked proud and indifferent but now, he knelt in order to reassure Duanmu Xue. This was too surprising.

“Snow…” Duanmu Xi’s heart thumped. She reached out her hands and wanted to pull Xuanyuan Mo up, her dark purple eyes full of pity.

Xuanyuan Mo shook away Duanmu Xi’s hands gently and shook his head at her. His amber eyes were full of determination.

Actually, he didn’t have to kneel. He could make her stay with him potently. He could absolutely make it. However, he didn’t want to. He didn’t want to put her in a pickle. Neither did he want to make her choose between him and her family. He did so for her sake and for their defending him.

Faced with the determined attitude of Xuanyuan Mo, Duanmu Xue cracked a smile. She knew that Xi wouldn’t change her decision. She couldn’t take Xi back to the Zhuque Empire but as a mother, she must make sure that her daughter wouldn’t be hurt.

Duanmu Xue went forward to help Xuanyuan Mo up, “I believe that you’ll treat Xi well for sure.”

She believed that he could keep his promise.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo looked at Duanmu Xue and said seriously, “Thank you.”

He was grateful that Duanmu Xue trusted him and did not take Duanmu Xi away from him.

Seeing the sincerity in Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes, Duanmu Xue patted his shoulders and said with delight, “Okay. We’re relieved to see you two so lovey-dovey. Che and I will go back to the Zhuque Empire tomorrow.”

Duanmu Xi was a bit grieved to hear that. Looking at Huangfu Che and Duanmu Xue, she said, “Father, Mother, are you leaving so soon?”

Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che also didn’t want to be separated from Duanmu Xi but they had to.

With a sigh, Duanmu Xue said, “This is not our empire. We cannot stay here all the time. Besides, your aunt and I are both in the Baihu Empire this time. No one is supervising state affairs. It is not appropriate.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi felt guilty. If she didn’t marry into Baihu, she wouldn’t have to be parted from her parents. She had promised to return to them and never go away when she finished what she had to do. Now, she could hardly fulfill her promise.

Seeing Duanmu Xi lower her head, Xuanyuan Mo went forward to hold her hand pitifully. He knew that she was guilty but this was not her fault. He should take the blame. If he could choose again, he would choose to marry into her empire. Whether it was Qinglong or Zhuque, he would follow her wherever she went!

Seeing Duanmu Xi who was sorrowful, Huangfu Cang couldn’t bear to tell her about his leaving but he had to say it anyway, “I’m going back to Qinglong tomorrow too.”

“Grandpa.” Duanmu Xi directly ran to Huangfu Cang and tugged at his sleeve, saying like a spoiled baby, “Can’t you stay here with me for a bit longer?”

Hearing that, Huangfu Cang pinched Duanmu Xi’s face with a smile, “Silly, your mother is right. The empire needs its emperor. I have a lot of state affairs waiting for me to cope with in the Qinglong Empire. How can I stay here all the time?” “Grandpa…” Duanmu Xi hated to be parted from Huangfu Cang, her dark purple eyes filled with tears.

Seeing Duanmu Xi like this, Huangfu Cang felt sad too. His eyes also seemed to sparkle with tears, “Silly, what’s there to be sad about? If you miss me, just come to Qinglong to visit me with Mo.”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo immediately went forward and said respectfully, “Xi and I will go to the Qinglong Empire to pay you a visit once we have time, Grandpa.”

Satisfied, Huangfu Cang looked at Xuanyuan Mo and said with a smile, “Great. When you come to Qinglong, you must stay for a year or a half.”

Xuanyuan Mo also cracked a smile, “We’ll stay there until Xi is satisfied and you are annoyed.”

Hearing that, everyone burst into laughter. The sentiments of parting were watered down by their laughter.
