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

In the Fengming Hall.

Seeing the empty palace, Duanmu Xi frowned and walked inside slowly.

When she walked inside, Duanmu Xi saw the portraits of the previous empresses. Beneath the portraits were the memorial tablets of the deceased empresses and their royal consorts.

Duanmu Xi’s eyes glistened.

The rules of the Duanmu Family were so strange. These royal consorts were not allowed to enter the Fengming Hall when they were alive. However, when they passed away, their memorial tablets could be placed here.

Was it to prevent the empresses from being lonely?

Duanmu Xi looked at the yellow cattail hassock on the ground and gave a bitter smile.

She didn’t even lower her head before her parents since she came to the Hantian Continent but now she had to kowtow to these memorial tablets.

Fine. Since these were her ancestors, it wouldn’t be a big deal to kowtow to them.

At the thought of that, Duanmu Xi knelt and kowtowed to the memorial tablets three times.

After then, a fiery red halo suddenly appeared before the cattail hassock. The rays of red light rushed to the top of the hall. The middle of the halo was engraved with some inexplicable inscriptions.

Duanmu Xi looked at the fiery red halo and felt confused.

She stood up and stepped into the red halo carefully.

The current scene changed instantly. Duanmu Xi blinked her eyes.

What happened? Where was she?

Before she could see clearly, a rush of heatwave came on her, burning her gravely.

Duanmu Xi immediately wanted to find a way out. Yet, after she searched around, she couldn’t even find a window, not to mention a door.

All the walls were covered with fire, including the ceiling above her head.

She had to suspect whether she was in a furnace.

“No… Furnace, this was Flame…”

While she was lost in thought, Lanze’s feeble voice sounded in her mind.

“Lanze, what’s wrong with you?” Duanmu Xi felt shocked and immediately asked with worry.

“The fire spiritual power here…is too strong for me…”

Lanze answered with a hoarse voice, seemingly trying to suppress something.

Duanmu Xi frowned and looked worried.

“Are you okay? I’ll think of a way out.”

“I cannot take it anymore. I must start cultivating. The fire spiritual power is rich here. If we cannot get out, you can also cultivate here.”

Lanze in the mental space covered in sweat, started to cultivate, sitting cross-legged in a grimace.

Under the current circumstance, only if it kept cultivating the water spiritual power could it feel better.

Luckily, its mistress had eaten the water spiritual fruit. Otherwise, how could it cultivate the water spiritual power in Flame Tower?

“Lanze…”

Having called for it twice, Duanmu Xi got no response. She couldn’t help furrowing her eyebrows.

She searched around carefully several times and still failed to find any way out. Hence, she had to sit down and cultivate the fire spiritual power as Lanze said.

…

In the yard of the Eastern Palace, Xuanyuan Mo stared at the direction of the Fengming Hall with a frown.

It had been three days and Xi still didn’t come out. Did anything happen to her?

“Show yourself.”

The abnormality in the air made Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes get cold.

A man in black appeared from nowhere and half knelt before Xuanyuan Mo.

“Greetings, Your Highness.”

Yu Ying?

Xuanyuan Mo knitted his eyebrows, “What’s wrong?”

Yu Ying lowered his eyes respectfully, “His Majesty the Emperor summons you back to the imperial palace immediately.”

“Do you know what it is for?” Xuanyuan Mo frowned even more heavily.

Yu Ying’s eyes glittered, “I don’t know.”

“Leave.”

Yu Ying looked upward, “Your Highness…”

“Leave!”

His voice got even colder.

“I’m leaving now.”

Yu Ming didn’t dare to hesitate anymore and just disappeared in the room.

Another three days passed by. Not only Xuanyuan Mo was worried about Duanmu Xi but also Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che began to feel worried.

Duanmu Xue even entered the Fengming Hall on her own but failed to find Duanmu Xi.

“Your Highness, His Majesty has issued three secret edicts. Please go back to Baihu with me.”

Yu Ying’s voice sounded very helpless.

Seeing Yu Ying kneeling by his feet, Xuanyuan Mo knitted his eyebrows.

Why on earth did his father have to summon him back to the imperial palace in such a hurry?

Another six days went by and Duanmu Xi still didn’t come out. Xuanyuan Mo had no other option but to say goodbye to Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che.

The two of them were a bit surprised to hear that Xuanyuan Mo was leaving.

“Mr. Xuanyuan, are you really leaving? Aren’t you going to wait for Xi to come out?” Huangfu Che’s brows slightly drew together.

“Yeah. If you leave like this, how shall we explain to Xi when she gets out?” Duanmu Xue also said.

Xuanyuan Mo’s amber eyes slightly glittered.

“Your Majesty, Your Highness, I do want to wait for Xi too but now, I have to go back to the Baihu Empire first. Here is a letter from me. Please give this to her for me.”

Then, Xuanyuan Mo took out a letter from his arms and passed it to Duanmu Xue.

Duanmu Xue took the letter and put it away carefully.

“Goodbye.”

Xuanyuan Mo bowed to Huangfu Che and Duanmu Xue with clasped hands and then left.

Within a blink of an eye, more than 20 days passed by.

Duanmu Xi still didn’t come out. As such, Duanmu Xue entered the Fengming Hall again and yet, still got nothing.

“Che, it has been so long and Xi still hasn’t come out. Is it…”

Duanmu Xue frowned with a regretful look, “It’s my fault. If I had known about this, I wouldn’t have asked Xi to contract with Rosefinch. Now, we just cannot find her.”

No matter how great the mythical creature Rosefinch was, it couldn’t be compared to her daughter.

Seeing Duanmu Xue looked so worried and kept blaming herself, Huangfu Che held her in his arms with pity.

“Don’t overthink it. Xi is blessed by heaven. We should trust her. Xi is no longer the same old her now.”

Duanmu Xue nodded, “Yeah, I should trust her. She must be able to make it.”

Something suddenly occurred to her. Then, she said, “It will be Xi’s birthday the day after tomorrow. Now that she is missing, do we still throw the birthday party?”

Huangfu Che’s eyes glistened.

“Since Xi is not around, let’s cancel the birthday party then. When she comes out, let’s make it up to her.”

Duanmu Xu furrowed her brows and sighed.

“Fine, we have no other choices anyway.”

In the imperial study of the Baihu Empire.

Xuanyuan Lie looked at his favorite son before him and snorted.

“Humph, you are finally back.”

“Why do you summon me back to the imperial palace in such a hurry?” Without any attention to Xuanyuan Lie’s sarcasm, Xuanyuan Mo asked with a straight face.

Xuanyuan Lie’s eyebrows were knitted. A glint of dissatisfaction crossed his eyes.

“I’ll select a princess consort for you tomorrow. Be prepared for this.”

If he really didn’t find a princess consort for his son, his son might really leave the empire.

Xuanyuan Mo frowned, “You don’t have to worry about this. I have fallen in love with a girl already.”

Why did his father want to find a princess consort for him? As an emperor, his father was too idle.

“You’ve fallen in love?”

Xuanyuan Lie snorted, “With the crown princess of the Zhuque Empire?”

Xuanyuan Mo was slightly dazed and then frowned, “Yes.”

“I disagree.”

Xuanyuan Lie looked at his indifferent son and then yelled angrily.

Xuanyuan Mo raised his brows aloofly, “Whatever. I don’t need your approval.”
