Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King - Chapter 216

Phoenix Thirteen glanced at Long Ri’s muddy body with a frown, “A river is over there. Go and wash up.”

Long Ri’s eyes dropped to his body. The corner of his eyes twitched. He was dirty indeed, “I’ll go and wash up.”

He glimpsed the dirty coat in his hand and instantly thought of Phoenix Thirteen’s current appearance. He blushed and didn’t dare to look at Phoenix Thirteen, “I’ll wash the coat for you.”

Long Ri ran away with the coat in his hand.

Phoenix Thirteen stared at Long Ri’s back, her eyes flashing. She turned around, carried the sika deer from the ground and headed to the pond on the other side.

…

Yu Ying walked to a lonely place and immediately whistled.

Hearing the whistle, an Iron Eagle immediately flew down from the air and perched on Yu Ying’s shoulder.

Yu Ying was slightly dazed to see the note tied to the Iron Eagle’s leg and hurriedly took the note off.

“Yu Ying, I’m Yu Feng. His Highness asks me to tell you something.

“His Highness said, ‘If he can’t write, learn how to write again. If he can’t even do such a simple thing, he should quit being the secret guard and directly train the Iron Eagle for me.’

“The above is exactly what His Highness said. I guess His Highness must be upset that your message was too short. Well, why didn’t you write a bit more? You know how much His Highness misses Her Highness. He can’t eat or sleep well for missing Her Highness too much!

“By the way, how are you doing? We all envy you! Well, remember to write back to His Highness, or you’d really be sent to train the Iron Eagle.”

After reading the letter, Yu Ying subconsciously trembled. Training the Iron Eagle was a heavier punishment than guarding the gate.

He stretched out his arm. The Iron Eagle immediately flew off his shoulder. He stroked its feathers, his dark eyes full of grievances. His Highness was angry with him because the letter was too short. In the jungle, he couldn’t have enough time to write a lot. Besides, he was surrounded by so many people. It was good enough that he could write a few words.

Seeing the last words written by Yu Feng, Yu Ying couldn’t help gnashing his teeth in secret. Yu Feng knew that His Highness might send him to train the Iron Eagle and still asked Yu Ying how he was doing. Yu Feng must mean to laugh at him.

Yu Ying stroked the note in his arms and felt torn. Should he send out the message or not? At the thought of training the Iron Eagle, Yu Ying couldn’t help shivering and perished the thought. He decided to go back and find a chance to write more before sending it out.

Yu Ying raised his arm. The Iron Eagle flew out at once. Seeing that the Iron Eagle disappeared, Yu Ying finally turned his head slowly.

“Well…” Seeing the two people standing behind, Yu Ying was shocked indeed. The letter that hadn’t been put in his arms in time also dropped to the ground.

“Your… Your Highness…” At the sight of Duanmu Xi and Phoenix Fourteen, Yu Ying’s hair stood on end at once. When did they stand behind him? It must be because he was lost in thought that he didn’t hear them arrive.

Phoenix Fourteen glared at Yu Ying with a sulky facial expression and looked rather angry.

Feeling Phoenix Fourteen’s angry eyes, Yu Ying didn’t dare to look her in the eye. He kept looking around.

Duanmu Xi didn’t notice the tense atmosphere between the two of them. She crouched down and wanted to pick up the note from the ground.

Yu Ying was anxious to see the scene and immediately wanted to take back his evidence. Yet, Phoenix Fourteen who had been noticing him seized the note faster than he did.

“Your Highness.” Phoenix Fourteen passed the note to Duanmu Xi.

Duanmu Xi glimpsed Yu Ying’s anxious face, took the note and glanced at it quickly. When she learned that Xuanyuan Mo couldn’t eat or sleep because he missed her too much, she had her heart in her throat. A glimmer of deep longing for Xuanyuan Mo crossed her dark purple eyes.

After reading the note, Duanmu Xi passed it to Yu Ying, “I’ll write back to Snow from now on.”

Yu Ying was ecstatic to hear that and instantly felt relieved, “Thank you, Your Highness.” Since Her Highness was going to write back to His Highness on her own, His Highness wouldn’t make him train the Iron Eagle.

“Go back.” After taking a glance at the excited face of Yu Ying, Duanmu Xi slightly curled her lips and turned to walk back.

Phoenix Fourteen cast an angry glance at Yu Ying and turned to follow Duanmu Xi.

Yu Ying touched his nose and also caught up.

…

Phoenix Thirteen sat on the grassland and stared at the luxuriant jungle in front. It was hard to tell what she was thinking. A processed sika deer was placed next to her.

“I… I’m done.”

Phoenix Thirteen turned her head and saw a pair of bright black eyes. He looked somewhat shy and cute. His curly black eyelashes were still stained with water. His long black hair was all wet. The beads of water dripped down his collarbones to his chest.

Phoenix Thirteen instantly looked away, her eyes flashing.

“I’ve also washed your coat,” Long Ri said and passed the coat over.

Phoenix Thirteen looked at the dry coat in Long Ri’s hand and glimpsed his wet body. She grabbed the coat and said coldly, “Dry yourself.”

Long Ri was slightly dazed to hear that and then nodded dully, “Oh, OK.”

After Long Ri dried himself, Phoenix Thirteen carried the sika deer on his shoulder and walked to the place where Long Ri had picked mushrooms.

Long Ri immediately caught up and looked at Phoenix Thirteen carrying the sika deer in front. Long Ri wanted to go forward and catch the sika deer. Yet, at the thought of Phoenix Thirteen’s unhappy tone, he felt a bit afraid.

Very quickly, the two of them arrived at the place where Long Ri had picked mushrooms just now.

Phoenix Thirteen glimpsed the mushrooms on the ground and said aloofly, “Take them. Let’s go back!”

Long Ri immediately picked up the mushrooms from the ground and felt slightly dazed to see the several snakes scattering aside. Then, he recalled that these snakes were acquired by her and stared at her, “Do you still want the snakes?”

Phoenix Thirteen glimpsed the snakes on the ground and said with a frown, “No, I don’t want them. The deer is enough to last us for two days.”

There was nothing but poisonous snakes in the jungle. The snakes were poisonous but if the heads were cut off and the skin was peeled off, the meat still could be eaten. Yet, now they had the sika deer, they didn’t have to eat the snake meat. Maybe they would have to eat snake meat a lot in the future!

Long Ri nodded and looked at Phoenix Thirteen who was still carrying the sika deer. His eyes flashed. He bit his lip and took two steps forward to put the mushrooms in Phoenix Thirteen’s hand.

Phoenix Thirteen was taken aback. She stared at Long Ri with confusion.

Feeling Phoenix Thirteen’s gaze, Long Ri blushed and said nervously, “I… I’ll take the deer.”

Without looking at Phoenix Thirteen’s reaction, Long Ri directly took the sika deer from Phoenix Thirteen’s shoulder and turned to head to their resting place.

Phoenix Thirteen looked at Long Ri’s back, her eyes full of mixed feelings. She carried the mushrooms and caught up with him.

“Why did you come back so late? I thought you were in danger.” Seeing that Long Ri and Phoenix Thirteen came back, Phoenix Five immediately ran forward.

Long Ri stared at Phoenix Five and tittered bashfully. He carried the sika deer on his shoulders and went to the bonfire.

Long Yue, Yu Ying and the others all walked over.

“Good for you. You’ve caught a deer.”

“We can have a feast tonight.”

Phoenix Thirteen stared at Phoenix Five and curled her lips, “We’re fine. It took us some time to catch a deer.”

Long Ri, who was cutting meat, heard Phoenix Thirteen’s words, and his eyes flashed.

Phoenix Five looked at the mushrooms in Phoenix Thirteen’s hands, her eyes sparkling. Tonight’s dinner was quite filling, which included grilled deer meat and mushroom soup. Nice!

“Give them to me. I’ll wash them,” Phoenix Five said and held all the mushrooms in Phoenix Thirteen’s hands into his arms.

Staring at Phoenix Five’s greedy look, Phoenix Thirteen shook her head resignedly.

Phoenix Thirteen took a glance at the coat in his hand and Long Ri who was cutting the meat. She walked to Long Ri and threw her coat over.

Long Ri took the coat and gazed at Phoenix Thirteen in a daze.

“Put it on,” Phoenix Thirteen said coldly and turned around to whittle branches aside.

Everyone worked together. Very quickly, they grilled the deer meat and cooked the mushroom soup.

Long Yue and Phoenix Five passed the deer meat and mushroom soup to Situ Kong and Duanmu Xi.

Duanmu Xi had a bite of delicious deer meat and a mouthful of hot mushroom soup. Instantly, she felt comfortable all over.

She hadn’t eaten such hot soup. She felt so good.

Yu Ying sent the grilled deer meat to Phoenix Fourteen, but Phoenix Fourteen didn’t appreciate it and directly turned her head.

Yu Ying touched his nose with embarrassment and then said to Phoenix Fourteen fawningly, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to lie to you. I had to do that.”

Phoenix Fourteen turned her head again and ignored Yu Ying.

Yu Ying looked at Phoenix Fourteen’s angry face and bit his lip. He braced himself to say again, “I promise this is the last time I’ve done it. I won’t lie again. I swear.”

Yu Ying raised three fingers to make a vow.

Phoenix Fourteen glimpsed Yu Ying and looked less angry.

Seeing her reaction, Yu Ying immediately passed the grilled meat over, “Don’t be mad. Taste the meat grilled by me. It’s grilled by myself.”

Phoenix Fourteen glanced at the grilled meat in Yu Ying’s hand and took it, “If you dare to lie to me again, I’ll…”

“No, absolutely not.” Yu Ying raised his head and swore before Phoenix Fourteen finished speaking.

Holding a skewer of grilled meat, Long Ri looked at Phoenix Thirteen aside. Having hesitated for a while, he still passed it over.

Phoenix Thirteen looked at the grilled meat given by Long Ri and then glanced at Long Ri’s blushed face, her eyes flashing. She said nothing, took the grilled meat and had a bite of it.

Seeing Phoenix Thirteen take the grilled meat, Long Ri subconsciously curled his lips and worked harder at grilling the meat.

After eating the grilled meat, Duanmu Xi wrote a letter to Xuanyuan Mo. Having thought for a while, Duanmu Xi wrote down a few words.

Duanmu Xi looked at the words and cracked a bitter smile. Although she had a lot to say, she only wrote a few words.

After writing the note, Duanmu Xi summoned Yu Ying.

“Your Highness, I’m here!” Yu Ying heard Duanmu Xi call him and immediately ran over.

Duanmu Xi passed the note to Yu Ying, “Please send this to Snow for me.”

Yu Ying looked at the small note in Duanmu Xi’s hand. The corner of his mouth twitched, “Your… Your Highness, why don’t you write a bit more?” He didn’t want to go back and train the Iron Eagle!

Duanmu Xi looked at Yu Ying’s prim appearance and thought of the note written by Yu Feng, saying with a smile, “What matters is the quality rather than the quantity of the words!”

Yu Ying blinked his eyes and didn’t understand what Duanmu Xi meant.

Looking at Yu Ying’s silly appearance, Duanmu Xi smiled again, “Rest assured. I won’t let you go to train the Iron Eagle.”

He was Fourteen’s future husband. Since he was a person of the Zhuque Empire, how could she let him train the Iron Eagle?

Yu Ying was utterly relieved and said with delight, “Thank you, Your Highness.” Now that Her Highness said so, he felt reassured then. In His Highness’s heart, what Her Highness said worked better than the imperial edict.

“I’ll send out the message now,” Yu Ying said and then ran away excitedly with the note.
