Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King - Chapter 172

His cold voice made Lishang subconsciously shiver. Lishang raised his head and took a look at Xuanyuan Mo’s angry face. He braced himself and said, “Yes. When I went near, I found that woman was Qing.”

It was really her! A glint of fierceness flashed across Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes, “What happened then?”

“Afterward, I took Qing away from the cave. At that time, out of worry about you, I didn’t leave directly but stayed in the darkness. I didn’t leave the cave with Qing until I saw Her Highness enter the cave.”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo frowned. According to Lishang, he should be in the cave with Xi. Why did he wake up in the inn the next day? What on earth happened afterward?

“Where did you take her to thereafter?” What happened next was the key point. He must figure it out. Maybe that was a spurious impression created by the wolf woman. At the thought of the possibility, he felt a heavy load off his heart and a glimmer of light rather than the darkness around.

“Afterward, I took Qing to an inn in the imperial city. Because I was worried about you and Her Highness, I returned to Prince Zhan’s mansion and told Yu Ying and the others that you and Her Highness were in the cave behind the imperial palace while Qing was unconscious. Then, I hurried back to the inn. Unexpectedly, no sooner had I returned to the room than I was knocked out.”

Xuanyuan Mo frowned. Lishang was knocked out. It should be that woman who did that. She could even hurt her brother. What a ruthless woman!

“You were knocked out. That’s to say, you didn’t know what had happened afterward?”

Hearing that, Lishang nodded and said, “No, I didn’t know what had happened afterward. When I woke up the next morning, I heard Qing say…”

Seeing that Lishang bit his tongue, Xuanyuan Mo said grumpily, “Say it!”

Lishang took a deep breath and said, “She said that she had slept with you. She is your woman now.”

Lishang talked very fast. He was afraid that if he didn’t finish saying that at a stretch, he wouldn’t have the courage to say it all.

When Xuanyuan Mo heard that, his amber eyes were coated with fierceness.

“Both of you, get out.” His voice was piercingly cold, which made others tremble with fear.

“Yes,” Lishang and Yu Ying immediately replied with respect upon hearing that. Then, they got out of the study together.

After Lishang and Yu Ying left, Xuanyuan Mo closed his eyes and thought for a while. With a flash, he left Prince Zhan’s mansion.

Within several breaths, Xuanyuan Mo arrived at the cave behind the imperial palace.

The cave was very dark without any light but the darkness didn’t affect Xuanyuan Mo’s action at all. The wolf clan had a good night vision. Even at night, he could see clearly everything in the cave.

Seeing the painting on the stone wall, Xuanyuan Mo walked towards it slowly and stroked the woman in it.

She was his mother in this life–a very beautiful woman!

He walked around along the wall and closed his eyes to think about what Lishang and Yu Ying had told him.

Gradually, he felt the gut-wrenching pain again but he didn’t give up. He gnashed his teeth and tried hard to think. He was desperately eager to recover his memory. He didn’t want to be rendered dirty by Xi like this. Neither did he want to be disdained like this for no reason. He wanted to know the truth, prove himself innocent and hold her hand again.

As the sharp pain swept through him, Xuanyuan Mo felt as if two intangible hands were pulling his head and almost tore it into two halves.

“Argh…” After a painful cry, Xuanyuan Mo couldn’t take it anymore. He directly knocked his head against the wall of the cave.

“Bang… Bang…” With heavy thuds, a streak of white light suddenly flashed through Xuanyuan Mo’s mind, followed by a series of images.

In the images, he and a woman were making out. As they were about to take further action, he suddenly became a snow wolf. However, the woman was not afraid. Instead, she looked at him with pity, saying, “Snow, I’m not afraid!”

Then, he broke the seal, transformed into a human and continued doing it with the woman. Maybe because she felt so much pain, she bit his right shoulder.

Suddenly, the images disappeared and then his mind turned blank again.

It was Xi. Xuanyuan Mo slowly opened his eyes and a bead of sweat rolled down his temples. His amber eyes sparkled. That woman was Xi. He finally recalled something!

He pressed the bite mark on his right shoulder and smiled with delight. The bite mark was really left by his wife. No wonder she would cry upon seeing the bite mark.

Thinking of her tears, Xuanyuan Mo felt self-condemned and pitiful. It was him who made her sad. He deserved to die for that.

It seemed that what Long Yue said was right. He was invaded by the Heartless Worm. His wife helped remove the worm for him and as a result, he forgot her.

However, according to the images in his mind as well as what Lishang and Yu Ying said, he should have been in the cave with his wife. However, he woke up in the inn the next morning.

It must be that the wolf woman returned to the cave and took him away. Besides, he and Xi should be both unconscious. If they were awake, that wolf woman could never take him away.

If he was really taken away unconscious, he would never do anything to the wolf woman. In other words, he was innocent. It was a spurious impression created by that wolf woman.

However, he still had one doubt. If he didn’t sleep with that wolf woman, how did he break the seal of the beast god’s power in his body? Back then, because his seal was broken and the wolf woman happened to be of extreme Yin, he didn’t suspect her words.

To break the seal on his beast god’s power, he could either eat the ice spiritual fruit or lose his virginity to a woman of extreme Yin.

Virginity? Xuanyuan Mo raised his head and recalled that his first experience should happen with his wife in the images. That was to say, it was his wife who broke his seal. Was his wife of extreme Yin too?

Thinking of that, Xuanyuan Mo couldn’t stay here anymore. With a flash, he directly disappeared in the cave.

Xuanyuan Mo appeared in Duanmu Xi’s room again and looked at her soundly sleeping with tender eyes. He lay on his side next to her and held her into his arms gently.

Feeling the soft woman in his arms, he put his hand on her belly. It was still flat now but he felt that a life was breeding there. With his wife and his baby in his arms, he felt so satisfied at the moment.

“Xi, I love you!” His voice was gentle and affectionate.

Duanmu Xi shed a tear and gripped Xuanyuan Mo’s clothes on his chest tightly.

Feeling Xi shivering in his arms, Xuanyuan Mo hung his head and saw the tears at the corner of her eyes. Feeling his heart aching, he lowered his head to kiss away her tears, “I’m sorry!”

He was so sorry to make her sad, to let her suffer all the pain alone, to forget all the wonderful things she had done, and to forget all the vows they had made. He was really sorry…

Faced with Xuanyuan Mo’s tenderness, Duanmu couldn’t help crying and thumped Xuanyuan Mo’s chest with both hands harshly, “Why do you mess with me again? Why aren’t you completely bad to me? Why don’t you let me totally give up on you? Why don’t you give me a chance to forget you for good…”

Duanmu Xi’s words rendered Xuanyuan Mo extremely flurried. Regardless of Duanmu Xi’s thumps, he clutched her into his arms and said anxiously, “Don’t. Don’t give up on me. Don’t forget me. Give me one more chance to take care of you and our baby.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi cried even more heavily, buried her face against Xuanyuan Mo’s chest, and burst out crying, “Xuanyuan Mo, I hate you…”

Hearing her aggrieved cry, Xuanyuan Mo felt a stabbing pain in his heart. He hung his head to kiss away her tears tenderly, “You can hate me and hit me but could you please stop crying?”

She was crying so harshly that even his heart was broken.

Upon hearing that, Duanmu Xi bit his left shoulder harshly.

Xuanyuan Mo didn’t feel pain at all. He curled his lips and said, “Now, my shoulders are asymmetric. Do you still remember when you left the bite mark on my right shoulder?”

Duanmu Xi blushed and buried her face against his chest, saying grumpily, “I can’t remember.”

A glint of teasing flashed across Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes. He hugged Duanmu Xi tightly and whispered to her ear, “Snow, I’m not afraid.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi suddenly shivered. Was his memory recovered?

Feeling Duanmu Xi’s stiff body, Xuanyuan Mo smiled and stroked her belly, saying in a low voice, “It was me doing it with you in the cave that night. I’m the baby’s father.”

His voice was gentle yet determined.

Duanmu Xi suddenly opened her tearful eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Mo. When she saw his badly mutilated forehead, her tears rolled down again. She raised her hand but didn’t dare to touch that striking injury.

“How did your forehead become like this?” Her sobbing voice was full of pity.

Xuanyuan Mo felt touched, grabbed Duanmu Xi’s hand, planted a kiss on it and curled his lips, “The injury on my forehead reminds me of our first experience. I think it was quite worth it.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi slightly blushed and looked at Xuanyuan Mo, saying with excitement, “You’ve got your memory back?”

Xuanyuan Mo was slightly flurried and then shook his head, “No, but since I’ve recalled the most important part, I will recall the rest soon.”

Maybe he should go and knock his head against the stone wall a few more times. In this way, he might be able to recall the rest.

Duanmu Xi seemed to see through Xuanyuan Mo’s mind and instantly pulled a cold face, “Xuanyuan Mo, you mustn’t knock your head again. If I see your forehead injured again, I won’t talk to you anymore.”

If he must recover his memory by hurting himself, she preferred it that he didn’t recall the past forever.

“Okay. I won’t do it again.” Xuanyuan Mo felt touched and clutched Duanmu Xi into his arms again. With a smile, he parted his lips, “Could you call me Snow?”

Every time she called him Xuanyuan Mo, he would feel flustered as if she were about to leave him.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi stiffened and said nothing.

As Duanmu Xi didn’t answer, Xuanyuan felt his heart aching and held Duanmu Xi tightly.

“I’m still your Snow. I’m not dirty,” he thought.

He couldn’t explain now because he hadn’t fully recovered his memory. However, he would find evidence for himself to prove his innocence.
