The morning sunlight shone into the cave through the water curtain slowly. The cave was not as bright as outside but it was much brighter than at night.
Xuanyuan Mo woke up and glimpsed the sound sleeping face next to him. A glint of affection flashed across his eyes.
Although he was in a coma last night, he still knew what she had done. Thinking of how she fed the medicine to him, Xuanyuan Mo couldn't help blushing.
Awoken by the smell of meat, Duanmu Xi found she was still covered by the young man's black coat. While she was in a daze, a nicely grilled rabbit leg appeared before her.
"Thank you."
Duanmu Xi took over the rabbit leg subconsciously.
"Here is your coat."
Duanmu Xi stood up and passed the black coat to the young man.
After taking a glance at Duanmu Xi's ill-fitting white clothes, Xuanyuan Mo slightly blushed and then looked away quickly.
"You can
In the Tongxin Hall of the imperial palace of the Zhuque Empire, a handsome man in white was reading the memorials with remarks.The man was 27 or 28 years old. Viewed carefully, he looked quite like Duanmu Xi, his eyes full of sorrow."Your Highness, the empress is awake," a servant reported in a low voice."Put these away and I will handle them tonight."Huangfu Che hurried towards the bedroom inside.On the empress's bed, a beautiful woman was lying, her face ghastly pale and feeble."Xue, you are awake. How are you feeling?"Huangfu Che held Duanmu Xue up carefully and made her lean against him."Che, I dreamt about Xi again. In my dream, she was chased by others and then..."Duanmu Xue's face turned ghastly pale. It seemed that she hadn't come around from the horrid dream, her dark purple eyes simmering with horror."Xue, don't think too much.
"Mistress, you must find Xuanyuan Mo before those people do."Lanze reminded her in her mental space.Duanmu Xi nodded inwardly and took out the wolf-grained pendant given by Xuanyuan Mo.After 30 minutes or so, Duanmu Xi walked into a cave with the wolf-grained pendant.Xuanyuan Mo in the cave felt someone entered the cave. He immediately opened his eyes. Now, his amber eyes had turned red, which were so horrifying that others didn't dare to watch at all."Xuanyuan Mo?"Xuanyuan Mo frowned with his red eyes."Xi?"Xuanyuan Mo looked at Duanmu Xi."Your eyes?"Duanmu Xi gazed at the hollow and dull eyes with pity."My eyes are fine. They will recover soon."Xuanyuan Mo held Duanmu Xi into his arms with excitement, smelling her unique smell."Xi, I miss you so much..."Duanmu Xi became stiff and th
Looking at Duanmu Xi's worried expression, Xuanyuan Mo reached out its tongue and licked her rosy cheeks. It seemed to be comforting her and telling her that it was fine."Snow, have a rest first."Duanmu Xi stroked Xuanyuan Mo's big head and turned around to look at the assassins in black with narrowed eyes."Whoever hurts him must die."The cold voice was heard by everyone present.Xuanyuan Mo was astonished. She could always flip its heart so easily. A word or an act would make its heart race."Raging Tides of Water..."Duanmu Xi concentrated her water spiritual power to summon a vast rush of blue waves."Engulf..."With a cold shout, the blue waves sprang at the assassins in black turbulently.The moment that the assassins saw the raging waves, they immediately rushed backward, but the waves didn't let go of them easily. Instead, they were dire
Duanmu Xi sat down cross-legged on the ground, her eyes closed. As she concentrated her mental strength, a rush of blue spiritual power spurted out around her and then formed a circular protective cover to envelop her.The chief assassin squinted his eyes coldly. Although he didn't know what she was doing, he didn't want to let go of any opportunity of killing her.The chief assassin waved his hands. The two rushes of blue mysterious Qi directly went at the circular protective cover that enshrouded Duanmu Xi.Looking at the blue mysterious Qi that carried a crushing force, Xuanyuan Mo and Lanze were both rather anxious. Xuanyuan Mo was even more eager to break through the seal forcibly again.Bang.With a sound of bang, it was not Duanmu Xi but the chief assassin that was knocked away.Backfired by the two rushes of mysterious Qi, the chief assassin vomited a mouthful of blood.D*mn it.
Outside the Zhuque Hall of the imperial palace of the Zhuque Empire, the officials left one by one, some of whom were still whispering."Why didn't Her Majesty the Empress attend the morning court again today?""I heard that Her Majesty the Empress seemed to be sick. She should be too worried about Her Highness the Crown Princess.""Possibly. Her Highness the Crown Princess has been missing for almost two years. By now, there has been no news about her at all.""Alas, if Her Highness the Crown Princess doesn't come back, the Zhuque Empire will witness a significant change.""Enough. Let's get going."The officials just left. It was quiet again outside the Zhuque Hall. Yet, who knew what kind of turmoil would happen after the momentary peace?...In the Tongxin Hall."Xue, you look much better today."Huangfu Che fed the last spoonful of medicine to Duanmu
Duanmu Shuang stepped forward with clasped hands and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that you are not feeling well so I specially come to visit you.""I'm also here to visit Your Majesty. It was a coincidence that I met Her Highness Princess Jing at the door of Tongxin Hall."Qin Zhen also stepped forward to bow with clasped hands.Looking at their unease reactions, Duanmu Xue sneered."Oh, quite a coincidence. I'm well now. You two can go back."Duanmu Shuang put on an embarrassed look and glimpsed Qin Zhen aside.Qin Zhen got Duanmu Shuang's hint and bowed again."Your Majesty, I have something to report."Duanmu Xue slightly narrowed her eyes."Say it.""Her Highness the Crown Princess has been missing for two years and there is still no news found. In order to reassure the Zhuque Empire, I highly suggest that Your Majesty make another person the crown pr
In Gukou Town, a town at the border of Shangqi Forest and the Zhuque Empire.Watching the people in the street, Duanmu Xi frowned.The people in this place wore so few clothes.Xuanyuan Mo never looked aside all the way here. Despite that, his handsome look still aroused the attention of many women.They walked for a distance and entered a tailor's shop.As they entered the shop, the manager hastened to go forward and greet them."Dear customers, this way, please.""Are you from abroad?"The manager talked to them hospitably while pouring tea for them."I would like two suits of white clothes for me and two suits of thin and black clothes for him. Better in a conservative style."The manager was speechless and felt disgruntled.Young as this girl was, she was quite crafty.Xuanyuan Mo blushed.Coming out of th
In the imperial study of the imperial palace of the Zhuque Empire, Duanmu Xue was reading the memorials."Greetings, Your Majesty."Suddenly, a woman in black showed up in the imperial study.Duanmu Xue jerked her head up to look at Phoenix Thirteen and lowered her head back."Why are you back? Any news about the Crown Princess?""Yes, Your Majesty. The Crown Princess is in Gukou Town now."Duanmu Xue's hand quivered and the ink just dropped on the memorial."What? What did you say?""Her Highness is in Gukou Town. Phoenix Five and other phoenix guards are escorting Her Highness back to the imperial palace."Hearing this, Duanmu Xue couldn't hold back her emotion anymore. She directly threw away the brush pen and rushed to Phoenix Thirteen, saying with excitement, "Really? Are you serious?""Yes. I saw Her Highness with my own eyes. Her Highness is accomp
