Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King - Chapter 196

No sooner had Situ Kong gotten out of the elixir refining room than he came to the main hall in a hurry.

“Xi, you wanna talk with me?”

Duanmu Xi looked at Situ Kong and nodded, “Chief Master, please be seated first.”

Situ Kong heard that and then sat opposite Duanmu Xi.

After Situ Kong sat down, Duanmu Xi said, “Chief Master, I’ve got clues about Third Master’s whereabouts.”

Situ Kong directly stood up in delight and then stared at Duanmu Xi, saying with excitement, “Where is she?”

Seeing Situ Kong’s excited expression, Duanmu Xi felt a bit worried and then took a deep breath, saying, “Chief Master, calm down.”

Situ Kong looked at Duanmu Xi’s grim countenance and then sat down again, saying with a frown, “Is your Third Master in danger?”

Judging from Xi’s grim face, something untoward must have happened to Mei Luo.

Instantly, Duanmu Xi took out the note from her sleeve and passed it to Situ Kong.

Situ Kong took it in confusion. When he read the note, he reacted the same as Duanmu Xi did. With red eyes, he clenched the note in his hand. Shortly, the note was crushed into ashes by Situ Kong.

Situ Kong slightly narrowed his red eyes. His eyes were full of killing intent. Those people should be damned. How dared they treat her that way?

“I’m going to the Wilderness Holy Region now.” His voice became hoarse with anger.

After saying that, Situ Kong was about to rush out. Duanmu Xi hurriedly dragged Situ Kong and said anxiously, “Chief Master, calm down. Now Third Master is treated that way, I’m more anxious than you but we can’t act recklessly. Otherwise, we won’t be able to rescue Third Master. Worse still, we may get her killed.”

Third Master was in the enemies’ hands. If they acted recklessly, Duanmu Xi was afraid that they would directly kill her.

Duanmu Xi’s words slightly cooled Situ Kong down but his eyes were still full of anxiety.

Seeing that, Duanmu Xi added, “Since they dare to disclose the information about Third Master to us so easily, do you think you can save Third Master if you rush to the Wilderness Holy Region recklessly? Unlike other places, the Wilderness Holy Region is strategically situated with many poisonous worms and miasma. Even if we don’t think of a perfect plan, we should at least discuss what to do to have the best chance of rescuing Third Master.”

Situ Kong finally calmed down. Xi was right. He was reckless. The Wilderness Holy Region was not the Central State or the four empires. He knew that he couldn’t save Mei Luo even if he went there. Maybe he would get her killed.

Situ Kong sat by the table again and looked at Duanmu Xi, saying, “Xi, how did you get the note?”

Duanmu Xi took out the white jade hairpin from her arms and passed it to Situ Kong.

Situ Kong took the white jade hairpin and looked at Duanmu Xi, saying with a frown, “This is your third master’s hairpin?”

He always paid no attention to the women’s things so he had no impression of the hairpin. Yet, now Xi took it out, it must be Mei Luo’s.

Duanmu Xi nodded, “This is Third Master’s hairpin. The note was hidden in the hairpin. And the hairpin was delivered to me on purpose.”

Situ Kong said with a frown, “Did you see who sent you the note?”

“No, I didn’t.” Duanmu Xi shook her head. Although she didn’t see who sent her the note, since he could sneak into Prince Zhan’s mansion and deliver the hairpin to her under Lishang’s nose, he must be very capable.

Situ Kong stayed quiet for a while and said, “What are you going to do?”

Hearing the question, Duanmu Xi drooped her eyes and said in a low voice, “I wanna go to the Wilderness Holy Region to save Third Master.”

Situ Kong directly jumped up and widened his eyes, shouting in surprise, “You’re crazy. You’re pregnant now. How can you go there?”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi stroked her belly with her lips curving into a warm smile, “Chief Master, don’t be too worried. I’m more than three months pregnant now. The babies are stable. Besides, I’m in good health condition. I also have your specially made tocolytic elixirs. The babies must be fine…”

“No way. Whatever you say, I can’t let you go.” Situ Kong directly interrupted Duanmu Xi’s words with a wave. He was determined. Duanmu Xi was pregnant now. The Wilderness Holy Region was so dangerous. She would be in trouble if she acted a bit carelessly. How could he bear to let her take the risk?

Duanmu Xi looked at Situ Kong’s determined face and slightly knitted her eyebrows. She also stood up, “You’ve read the note. It says that if I don’t go, they will make Third Master into a human-pig.”

Hearing that, Situ Kong clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with a shimmer of killing intent.

Duanmu Xi’s eyes were also tearful, “Third Master’s two legs and face have been ruined by them. Those people are so cruel. They can’t be kidding. I don’t want her to be injured anymore. I must save her.”

Situ Kong looked at Duanmu Xi’s tearful face and felt uncomfortable inwardly. He heaved a sigh and said, “It’s not that I don’t want you to go but that you can’t go there given your current condition. Putting aside the fact that you’re pregnant, your mysterious Qi has been sealed and you can’t use the spiritual magic either. In this case, you can’t save your third master. It’s even difficult for you to protect yourself.”

“Of course, I understand what you said. I won’t go to the Wilderness Holy Region now. I will go there after my mysterious Qi and spiritual power are both recovered.”

If she went to the Wilderness Holy Region without the ability to protect herself, she wouldn’t save Third Master. Worse still, she would put herself in danger. It would be better if she was alone. However, she was pregnant with babies now. She must think for her babies’ good. She couldn’t let anything happen to her babies.

Hearing that, Situ Kong frowned. Xi was too simple-minded. Her mysterious Qi and spiritual power couldn’t be recovered so easily.

Duanmu Xi seemed to guess Situ Kong’s thoughts and then said with a flush on her face, “I can deal with the problem of the mysterious Qi and the spiritual power. Chief Master, don’t worry. Anyway, I won’t go to the Wilderness Holy Region until I can protect myself. I won’t let anything happen to my babies.”

Then, Duanmu Xi stroked her belly with a gentle look.

Situ Kong nodded. Since Xi said that, she must have a way to recover her mysterious Qi and spiritual power.

“By then I’ll go with you. I can take care of you and the babies on the way.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi slightly curled her lips. She finally got the approval of her chief master.

“Chief Master, please don’t tell Snow about this temporarily.”

Situ Kong thought of the content on the note. He nodded hesitantly and couldn’t tell Mo about this indeed. Otherwise, given Mo’s temper, how could he let Xi take any risk?

Seeing Situ Kong nod, Duanmu Xi let out a sigh of relief, “Chief Master, please refine some more healing elixirs and medicine that can repel poisonous worms, snakes and ants.”

Situ Kong surely understood what Duanmu Xi meant and nodded, “I’ll refine the medicine later.”

Duanmu Xi pondered for a while, “Chief Master, I need a kind of drug that can put one into a coma for a dozen days without harming the health.”

Situ Kong was in a slight daze to hear that and then nodded, “OK. I’ll give it to you tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Chief Master.”

At night, when Xuanyuan Mo was back in Xuelan House, Duanmu Xi was leaning against the pillow and reading a medical book.

“Snow.” Upon seeing Xuanyuan Mo was back, Duanmu Xi put down the medical book and sat up.

“Why aren’t you sleeping?” Xuanyuan Mo took off his clothes, got on the bed, cuddled Duanmu Xi and lay down.

Duanmu Xi slightly blushed and felt a bit nervous to think about what she was going to do later.

“Sleep now. You stayed up late last night. You should sleep early tonight.” Xuanyuan Mo caressed Duanmu Xi’s long hair and told her to sleep.

Yet, Duanmu Xi clearly didn’t want to sleep. She put her arms around Xuanyuan Mo’s neck and licked his neck.

The moist and slippery feeling made Xuanyuan Mo stiffen. He stopped caressing Duanmu Xi’s long hair abruptly.

Duanmu Xi kissed Xuanyuan Mo’s neck for a while and found that he was not responding at all. Her face slightly blushed and her dark purple eyes twitched. She moved her red lips up his chin towards his lips gently and also reached out her tongue to outline his perfect lip line.

Xuanyuan Mo felt aroused and his eyes darkened abruptly. He held back his urge to kiss her and wanted to nudge her away, “Xi, you…”

His originally cold voice had become husky with a surge of rich desire.

Duanmu Xi’s face became redder. She didn’t dare to look at Xuanyuan Mo and only untied Xuanyuan Mo’s belt and hers.

Xuanyuan Mo gazed at the discernibly red bellyband with a flush on his face.

Duanmu Xi put her arms around Xuanyuan Mo’s neck and clung her body to him slowly.

When she pressed her bosoms against him, his mind went blank and his breath became increasingly hurried.

Xuanyuan Mo clenched Duanmu Xi’s shoulders and said in a hoarse voice, “Xi, please don’t. I can’t hold back anymore.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi blushed even more and blew air to Xuanyuan Mo’s ear, “If you can’t hold it back, just don’t!”

Xuanyuan Mo swallowed with difficulty, “Xi, wait for me. I’ll take a shower.”

Then, Xuanyuan Mo wanted to get off the bed.

He was such a dork. Duanmu Xi rolled her eyes at him and grabbed him back. Then, she turned over and towered above him.

Xuanyuan Mo was in a daze again. He didn’t come to his senses until Duanmu Xi took off all his upper garments and started to take off his trousers. He hurriedly gripped her hands, “Xi, we can’t. You’re still pregnant!”

Duanmu Xi towered over Xuanyuan Mo and took his hand away, “It has been over three months. We can do this.”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo held his breath. Looking at Duanmu Xi’s delicate face and the discernibly red bellyband under her white undergarment, Xuanyuan Mo swallowed with difficulty again.

Feeling the tender hands over his body, Xuanyuan Mo became more and more unconscious. Something suddenly occurred to his mind. He grabbed Duanmu Xi’s hands again and breathed heavily, “Xi… We can’t…”

Duanmu Xi was more than three months pregnant but she was carrying multiple babies. He didn’t want to put her in danger for his temporary desire.

Duanmu Xi bent down to kiss Xuanyuan Mo’s lips and looked into his eyes, saying seriously, “Snow, I want to recover my mysterious Qi and spiritual power. Could you help me?”
