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

At night, Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che were waiting for Duanmu Xi anxiously in the Tongxin Hall.

“Here comes Her Highness the Crown Princess…”

Hearing the palace servant’s chanting outside the hall, Duanmu Xue raced out hurriedly, followed by Huangfu Che who was quite resigned.

Upon entering the hall, Duanmu Xi saw Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che standing at the door and immediately saluted them.

“Mother, Father, good evening.”

“Xi, there you are. Come on in.”

Duanmu Xue dragged Duanmu Xi to the table and then sent away all the palace servants.

“Xi, when did you repair the meridians? Why didn’t you tell me? If I had known your capability, I wouldn’t have sent out the phoenix guards.”

Holding Duanmu Xi’s hands, Duanmu Xue was proud and remorseful.

Duanmu Xi’s eyes glittered, “You didn’t ask me so…”

“Xi, I heard from Long Xing and Long Chen that you have been a Spiritual Lord. What is going on?” Huangfu Che also asked with excitement.

“By accident, I have contracted with a water mythical creature. It gave me a water spiritual fruit, which not only repaired my meridians but also made me a Water Spiritual King.”

Duanmu Xi explained simply.

Hearing that Duanmu Xi contracted with a mythical creature and also ate the water spiritual fruit, the two of them couldn’t say anything out of astonishment.

“Lanze, show yourself and meet my parents.”

Lanze immediately got out of her mental space.

“Greetings, my mistress’s parents.” Lanze bowed politely.

At the sight of Lanze, Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che were struck dumb again.

The ancient mythical creature Water Qilin? Were they dreaming?

Xi had surprised them too much today, making them feel as if dreaming. Everything seemed so unreal.

“Xi, since you’ve repaired your meridians and shown your capability to all the people in today’s battle, after discussing with your father, I decide to pass the throne to you as soon as possible.”

What was her mother talking about? How could she have the time to govern a country? She must find a way to save Ying.

“Father, Mother, I want to become a refining pharmacist.”

“A refining pharmacist?” Duanmu Xue frowned, “But if you want to become a refining pharmacist, you must have the wood and fire spiritual roots.”

Duanmu Xi smiled, “Mother, rest assured. I have omni property spiritual roots.”

“What?”

Duanmu Xi’s words just made Duanmu Xue jump off the chair in shock.

Upon hearing Duanmu Xi mention the omni property spiritual roots, Huangfu Che drinking over there also knocked over the teacup in shock. The tea spilled on his white clothes but he was not aware of it.

Perhaps there wouldn’t be a person with omni property spiritual roots over a few thousand years. Yet, their daughter turned out to have omni property spiritual roots.

Huangfu Che finally came to his senses. He directly grabbed Duanmu Xi’s wrist and started checking without paying attention to the knocked-over teacup.

After ten minutes, Huangfu Che was so excited beyond words.

Xi really had omni property spiritual roots. How many more surprises would she show to them?

“Xi, maybe you can enter into a contract with the mythical creature, Rosefinch.”

With an excited look on her face, Duanmu Xue stared at Duanmu Xi, her eyes glistening.

The mythical creature Rosefinch?

Duanmu Xi was confused now.

Seeing Duanmu Xi’s perplexed facial expression, Duanmu Xue explained, “Everyone knows that the Zhuque Empire is guarded by the mythical creature Rosefinch but they don’t know our mythical creature can be contracted with. However, anyone who wants to contract with it must satisfy two requirements–purple eyes and fire spiritual root.”

Duanmu Xue stared into the distance blankly. This was the secret her mother told her before death.

“It’s quite coincidental. The Zhuque Empire has been reigned by 17 empresses from Emperor Taizu to me. Although all the empresses have purple eyes, none of us has a fire spiritual root. Yet, since you satisfy both requirements, you can give it a try.”

Duanmu Xi nodded her head, “Where is the mythical creature Rosefinch?”

She was not interested in the throne but she was quite intrigued by the mythical creatures.

“Rosefinch is the guarding mythical creature of the Zhuque Empire. According to my mother, it is in the Fengming Hall but I haven’t seen it before.”

…

In the imperial study of the imperial palace in the Baihu Empire, a middle-aged man dressed in a dragon robe was standing by the desk with his hands on his back.

The man looked above 40 years old, whose face featured five distinguished sense organs. His angular face was rather good-looking. Age didn’t leave any marks on his face but made him full of charm. The man of this age was the most charismatic.

This man was the emperor of the Baihu Empire, Xuanyuan Lie.

Before Xuanyuan Lie, a man in black was half kneeling, who was the chief of the tiger guards, Yu Ying.

“You mean Prince Zhan is in the Zhuque Empire now?”

Hearing the response, Yu Ying immediately replied, “Yes, Your Majesty. I’ve learned that Prince Zhan shows up in the capital of the Zhuque Empire, and…”

“Go on.” Xuanyuan Lie furrowed his eyebrows.

“And he is very close to the crown princess of the Zhuque Empire.”

Yu Ying braced himself to finish reporting the news he had acquired.

A glint of confusion flashed across Xuanyuan Lie’s eyes.

How could Mo know the crown princess of the Zhuque Empire? And they were also close?

The women of the Zhuque Empire were so enchanting. Back then, his good friend, Huangfu Che, who was the crown prince of the Qinglong Empire, was fascinated by the empress of the Zhuque Empire to directly abandon his title of the crown prince and become her royal consort.

Was Mo also…

At the thought of that, Xuanyuan Lie sweated.

No way. How could his son marry into a woman’s family? This was absolutely not acceptable.

“Yu Ying, go to the Zhuque Empire to deliver my order that Prince Zhan must return to the palace at once.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Receiving the order, Yu Ying disappeared in the imperial study.

…

The next day, Duanmu Xue arrived outside the Fengming Hall with Duanmu Xi and the others.

“Xi, this is the Fengming Hall.”

Duanmu Xi stared at the Fengming Hall, which looked more or less the same as the other palaces. She couldn’t find anything special with it and only smelt a rich sandalwood flavor.

Gazing at Duanmu Xi, Xuanyuan Mo said, “Xi, let me go with you.”

“Mr. Xuanyuan, you cannot go in.”

Duanmu Xi wanted to say okay when she was interrupted by Duanmu Xue.

Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo frowned at the same time.

“The Fengming Hall is the place where the Duanmu Family worships the ancestors. It is regulated that only the females of the Duanmu Family are allowed to go in there while males are not. Even Xi’s father cannot go in,” Duanmu Xue explained.

Duanmu Xi was a bit speechless about the Duanmu Family’s weird rule.

Xuanyuan Mo nodded his head lightly. As the prince of the Baihu Empire, he could understand the significance of the place for ancestor worship.

“Snow, you just wait for me in the palace then.”

Since this was the clan rule, she could only go in there alone.

“Okay.”

Xuanyuan Mo nodded and watched Duanmu Xi enter the Fengming Hall.

Neither of them knew they would be parted from each other for three years.
