Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King - Chapter 164

He slowly walked to the woman in black. Looking at the woman who got into such a mess and yet looked composed, Xuanyuan Hao couldn’t help admiring her.

“Should I call you Mei Luo or Mu Wan?” His deep voice was somewhat mischievous.

Mei Luo was surprised to hear that. He was from the Wilderness Holy Region? She scrutinized his appearance and narrowed her eyes at once.

It was him. It was the man who ran into her on the day when Xi got married. She remembered that this man seemed to be Xuanyuan Mo’s brother.

He teleported himself in front of Mei Luo and directly bent down to whisper to Mei Luo’s ear, “Maybe I should call you aunt.”

Mei Luo looked quite astounded, “You are her child?”

Her voice was no longer cold as before but a bit hoarse. This was the first time that she had spoken for the past more than one month.

She didn’t expect that woman should have left the Wilderness Holy Region too and had a child with a man outside the region. What about him? Didn’t he love her very much? Why did he let her have a child with another man outside?

At the thought of that man again, Mei Luo didn’t feel her heart aching anymore. Her choice was correct. Rather than badger that man in pain, she should let go gracefully. Time would heal all the pains.

Xuanyuan Hao didn’t pay attention to Mei Luo’s astonishment and continued saying, “Mu Wan, the 21st sacred maiden in the Wilderness Holy Region, disappeared all of a sudden 30 years ago, together with Purple Hell Stone that only the sacred maiden of the Wilderness Holy Region can own.”

Hearing that, Mei Luo sneered, “You want Purple Hell Stone too?”

Purple Hell Stone could only be owned by the sacred maiden of the Wilderness Holy Region, which was the symbol of the sacred maiden. Other people could never have any chance to see it. Even that woman hadn’t seen the real Purple Hell Stone.

Xuanyuan Hao snorted and said dismissively, “I don’t care about the so-called Purple Hell Stone.”

He cared about nothing but her in the world.

Mei Luo was shocked again to hear that. This man was that woman’s son but he was different from her. That woman would press Mei Luo to reveal the whereabouts of the Purple Hell Stone every time she came here.

“Don’t think too much. I’m here simply to take a look at you.” Xuanyuan Hao straightened up and looked at Mei Luo, saying seriously, “Don’t be forced by my mother to death. If you die, she will hate me.”

After saying that, Xuanyuan Hao threw down a jade bottle and turned to leave the secret chamber.

Looking at the back of Xuanyuan Hao, Mei Luo slightly knitted her eyebrows, gently opened the jade bottle and smelt it. It was neither poison nor vulneraries but fasting elixirs that were in the bottle.

In Xuelan House of Prince Zhan’s mansion at night.

Xuanyuan Mo took a look at Phoenix Five guarding at the door and then waved his hand, “You may leave now!”

Phoenix Five was a bit hesitant to hear that and then retreated respectfully.

Xuanyuan Mo gently pushed open the door and glanced around the room but he didn’t see Duanmu Xi. Then, he closed the door with a backhand and walked inside.

When he glimpsed the clothes hung on the screen, Xuanyuan Mo smiled. He stood outside the screen instead of going inside, “Xi.”

Xuanyuan Mo didn’t hear any answer or sound of water. He slightly frowned and walked across the screen.

When he saw Duanmu Xi in the bathtub, his eyes suddenly became dark.

Currently, Duanmu Xi was leaning over the edge of the bathtub with her eyes closed as if she had fallen asleep.

The dim candlelight shone on her pretty face. She looked so peaceful. Her long and black hair was wet and clung to her body, which happened to cover her back.

Her two fair-skinned arms became rosy perhaps because of the hot water. Her collarbones were misted, which appeared even more crystalline under the candlelight.

Her bosoms soaked in the water were vaguely discernible as she breathed, which turned Xuanyuan Mo on instantly. A sensation swept through his body.

He forced himself to turn his gaze from the bosoms and motivated his mysterious Qi to suppress his sensation.

He put his hands into the water and found that the water was a bit cool, which made him frown heavily. He pulled over the bath towel from the screen and covered it above the bathtub. Then, he carried Duanmu Xi out of the water and wrapped her with the towel.

Xuanyuan Mo stared at Duanmu Xi sleeping soundly in his arms with his eyes full of affection. The smooth touch just drew his attention again.

Maybe because she felt the warmth, Duanmu Xi subconsciously buried herself in Xuanyuan Mo’s arms and rubbed her face against his chest.

Xuanyuan Mo let out a groan and felt a rush of heat flood out of his heart.

The bathing towel on Duanmu Xi’s body instantly dropped due to her unconscious action.

He forced himself to keep his eyes off her. He pulled the clothes off the screen aside, put them on Duanmu Xi’s body and scurried to the bed.

He put the woman on the bed carefully, pulled the quilt aside over and covered her with it gently. Stroking her rosy face, Xuanyuan Mo smiled resignedly.

Xi was so unbelievable… She was sleeping so well. However, recently, she seemed to sleep a lot and fall asleep very easily at night. Now, she even fell asleep during her bath. Sadly, he couldn’t do anything at all. Most sadly, he didn’t even dare to look at her. When he looked at her, he was the one who would suffer.

He bent down to kiss her on the forehead gently and turned to look behind the screen, hoping that the bucket of cold water could work.

The next day, Duanmu Xi woke up amidst Xuanyuan Mo’s kiss. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Xuanyuan Mo’s face at a close distance.

“Snow…” No sooner had she uttered the word than her lips were captured, followed by a violent kiss.

A groan escaped Duanmu Xi’s lips. Duanmu Xi who was a bit drowsy instantly came to her senses. She widened her watery eyes and looked in a flurry at the man kissing her.

Snow was so passionate…

What was wrong? She recalled that she was bathing last night. Then, she couldn’t remember anything at all. She must have fallen asleep while she was bathing. It was Snow who carried her onto the bed last night.

At the thought of what happened last night, Duanmu Xi couldn’t help blushing.

Feeling that Xuanyuan Mo moved his hands down her body, Duanmu Xi stiffened and abruptly wrung her legs tightly.

Feeling Duanmu Xi’s resistance, Xuanyuan Mo stopped kissing and looked up at Duanmu Xi with puppy eyes.

“Xi, I’m having a hard time holding back my desire.”

Duanmu Xi blushed and felt sorry for him.

They had been married for more than one month but they still didn’t do it. A man of such an age was full of sap. It was too hard on him to make him suppress his desire every day. However, they hadn’t talked through many things. Most importantly, she was pregnant now. It was not appropriate to have intercourse during the first three months of pregnancy.

She stroked Xuanyuan Mo’s pretty face, her dark purple eyes filled with mixed feelings of pity, worry and fear.

“Snow, give me some more time, won’t you?” She didn’t want to avoid doing it with him like this but she wanted to find a proper time to tell him everything.

Hearing Duanmu Xi’s nearly pleading voice, Xuanyuan Mo was softhearted instantly. He got off Duanmu Xi, held her into his arms gently and kissed her on the top of her head, saying pitifully, “I’ll wait for you, even a lifetime.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi almost shed her tears, held Xuanyuan Mo tightly and buried her face in his chest.

A moment later, she finally called him sulkily, “Snow!”

“Yes?” He swept Duanmu Xi’s hair behind her ears.

“Do you mind if I’m not a virgin?” Her voice was very gentle as if it came from a distance.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo stiffened. Within a few breaths, he had considered a lot. Was she telling the truth? Was that man him? Was this the reason why she was unwilling to sleep with him after getting married? What on earth did he forget?

Duanmu Xi didn’t dare to look at Xuanyuan Mo. She was afraid of seeing dislike and disdain in his eyes. She could only wait in perturbation for his answer.

Time fleeted bit by bit. Duanmu Xi who didn’t get any answer was getting despairing bit by bit. She cracked a bitter smile. He must mind it. Yeah, what kind of man wouldn’t mind such a thing? However, since he lost his memory, how could she explain?

She slowly loosened her hands around Xuanyuan Mo and turned around but she was harshly dragged back into his arms by him.

Xuanyuan Mo hugged her tightly. When she turned around and got off his arms, his heart seemed to be broken. Now that she was back, he felt complete again.

“Yes, I do.” His deep voice contained a bit of unnoticeable self-accusation.

Duanmu Xi’s heart sank bit by bit. He did mind it. Currently, she felt so grieved. Even when she knew that he had forgotten her, she didn’t feel so aggrieved as now.

Her dark purple eyes became watery instantly but they were widened to keep the tears from rolling down.

“But I still love you.” His determined voice was full of love.

Whether she lost her virginity to another man or him, he would mind it. If it were another man… He was madly jealous at the thought of the possibility. If it were him, he would still mind it. He would mind it that he had forgotten their first time and that she was sticking to their love alone but he had no idea at all. However, either situation wouldn’t affect his love for her.

“Snow…”

She held him tightly again–the man with whom she was in deep love.

Tears rolled down her face. They soaked into his clothes and dropped into his heart.

At the moment, she felt that everything she did was worthwhile.
