Late at night.
"Xi..."
Xuanyuan Mo in the military camp suddenly woke up from his dream. His head was full of sweat.
"Yu Ying."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Upon hearing Xuanyuan Mo's call, Yu Ying immediately showed up before him.
"I'll leave the thing here to you."
Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Mo turned over and got off the bed.
Yu Ying looked up in surprise, "Your Highness?"
"I have urgent things to deal with. Send a message to me if anything."
After putting on the armor, Xuanyuan Mo walked out in a hurry.
"Yes." Yu Ying lowered his head.
"Lishang."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Lishang guarding outside the tent stood there with a bow.
"Come with me to the Zhuque Empire with 3,000 elite soldiers."
After saying that, Xuanyuan Mo directly rode away before Lishang realized what had happened.
As the army's morale was shaken, Duanmu Shuang got anxious."Don't listen to her bewitching words. There is no Rosefinch at all. It is merely a legend..."Duanmu Xi squinted with a glint of coldness in her purple eyes.Before Duanmu Xi took any action, Hongling sprayed a big fireball at Duanmu Shuang below."Argh..."After the shrill cry faded away, a charred corpse was left.Everyone was too shocked to make any sound.Princess Jing was dead like this. Such a Mysterious Lord was easily killed like this.The ambitions of all rebel forces were blasted.Staring at the uproar below, Duanmu Xi said coldly again."You still don't surrender. Do you want to be punished by Rosefinch as she was?"Hearing the word "punishment", the people instantly thought of the miserable death of Duanmu Shuang and shuddered. After throwing down the weapons hast
She was so gorgeous today.Duanmu Xi usually wore white clothes. Pretty as she was, she looked somewhat ethereally beautiful. She was just like a fairy maiden in Heaven, hazy and untouchable.Yet, today, she was wearing a suit of exquisitely fine clothes, exalted and aloof. An air of majestic dignity just showed itself.Huangfu Che was also stunned to see Duanmu Xi.Xi really looked like the young version of Xue.He peeped at the dumbfounded Xuanyuan Mo and said banteringly, "Xi, you have grown up. After the coming-of-age ceremony, you can get married then. You can pick a man you like at the evening party."Huangfu Che's words instantly dragged Xuanyuan Mo back to reality and then the latter just started to give off an air of grimness from inside out.Huangfu Che and Duanmu Xue laughed at Xuanyuan Mo's reaction in secret.Duanmu Xue even added fuel to the fire, "Yeah, Xi, j
In the Tongxin Hall, Duanmu Xue was holding Duanmu Xi, reluctant to part from her daughter."Xi, do you have to leave today? Can't you stay for another two days?"Duanmu Xi stared at Duanmu Xue with embarrassment and then shifted her gaze to Huangfu Che, wishing him to come forward and persuade her mother."Xue, don't do this. Xi will be back after she finishes her work. If you miss her, we can write a letter to her and let her come back to visit you."Huangfu Che took the hint of Duanmu Xi and immediately went forward to hold Duanmu Xue, comforting gently."Yeah. If you miss me, you can write to me anytime and then I will come back to visit you immediately, okay?" Duanmu Xi also went forward to promise.Huangfu Che's and Duanmu Xi's comfort finally made Duanmu Xue release her hands.She knew that she couldn't change the fact that Xi was leaving regardless. As the mother, she couldn't be a dra
In Zhongzhou City."Your Highness, this is the most prosperous place in the Central State, Zhongzhou City." Phoenix Five pointed at the stone board above the city wall."Yeah."Duanmu Xi nodded and then entered Zhongzhou City with the others.Speaking of the Central State, it was the most special place on the Hantian Continent, which was situated in the center of the four empires but didn't belong to any one of them.A few centuries ago, the four empires all wanted to annex the Central State to unify the whole continent.However, the Central State was strategically situated, which was easy to guard and difficult to attack. The four empires distrusted each other and meanwhile took precautions against each other. As a result, they couldn't take down such a small state as the Central State for so many years.By now, the four empires had no intention of annexing the Central State, which all acknow
"Xi, after you pass the exam, I have to go back to the Baihu Empire and return the tiger tally to my father."Hearing that Xuanyuan Mo would leave, Duanmu Xi felt even sadder. Her face was etched with unhappiness.Seeing Duanmu Xi appeared so frustrated, Xuanyuan Mo's heart clenched. He went forward and pinched her fair-skinned face."Xi, don't be sad. I will come back as soon as possible."If there were not many people around, he really wanted to hug her."Yeah."Duanmu Xi looked downward and clenched Xuanyuan Mo's hand as if he were leaving the next moment...Seeing Duanmu Xi lowered her head, Xuanyuan Mo felt a bit of heartache.Then, he held Duanmu Xi's hand tightly.If possible, he didn't want to leave her either, not even for a moment.When only two people were left before the old man in grey, Duanmu Xi finally went forward slowly.A yo
Duanmu Xi saw four jade bottles were placed by the medicinal materials in order, next to which there was a sheet of paper.Duanmu Xi picked up the paper and took a look at it. It wrote the refining method of Tranquil Dew.The method was quite simple. Duanmu Xi summarized it into two aspects--extracting and integrating.Having learned the extracting sequence, Duanmu Xi started medicine refining for the first time in her life.Instead of rushing to proceed with the extracting step, Duanmu Xi checked the medicine tripod in front of her first.The medicine tripod was not very big, which was copper-colored with two ears and three legs. There was also a square hole in the cover, which should be used to put in the medicinal materials.The old man in grey saw the two men had started refining while Duanmu Xi was still checking the medicine tripod. He couldn’t refrain from nodding with appreciation.The
While the crowd was confused, an old grey-haired man flew into the hall from outside directly.The voice sounded so familiar. She seemed to have heard it before and yet failed to think of it.Duanmu Xi jerked her head up.It was him?He was the old grey-haired man who snatched the beggar's chicken from Lanze."It is you who want to take away my disciple?"Situ Kong walked to the several elders and raised his eyebrows proudly.Faced with Situ Kong's questioning, the elders all subconsciously swallowed.Others might not know Situ Kong but the elders had met Situ Kong and known his prestige. No one dared to say anything more.A glint of intrigue flashed across Nalan Xi's eyes.It turned out that this was the one Situ Kong wanted to take as his disciple.He had a good eye indeed. Since she could make the three elders all want to take her as the i
At night.Nestling against Xuanyuan Mo, Duanmu Xi enjoyed the tranquility for the moment."Xi, I'm going back to Baihu tomorrow."His usually cold voice was extremely soft tonight.When she heard that, Duanmu Xi's dark purple eyes glittered lightly.After a while, when Xuanyuan Mo thought she wouldn't answer, a sulky voice came."Okay."Her short reply was a heavy blow on Xuanyuan Mo's heart like a hammer.Suddenly, he raised her chin. Their bodies were closely pressed against each other. He could tell from her eyes that she was deeply reluctant to part from him.He felt a severe heartache again.Amidst her unique scent, his breath became hotter and hotter. Then, he just pressed his lips on the rosy lips.Sensing his intent, Duanmu Xi slightly flushed and slowly closed her eyes.Yet, the twitching long eyelashes indicated how ner
