In a room of some inn in the Imperial City, a man was lying on the arhat bed with his eyes closed.
His sharp brows were slightly knitted as if he were having a bad dream. His lowered long eyelashes slightly twitched. It seemed that he was about to wake up anytime. He puckered his red lips tightly and seemed very restless.
He was covered with a thin quilt, his arms exposed in the air and his long black hair scattered beneath his body like a piece of black silk fabrics. He was so good-looking but he just displayed an unapproachable air.
A woman was lying next to him. The woman was facing inside, whose face couldn't be seen clearly. Yet, her fair-skinned arm exposed in the air, as well as her naked back, was tempting enough for the men in the world.
Suddenly, the man opened his eyes, his eyes full of coldness and indifference.
Xuanyuan Mo looked at the strange roof of the bednet and then slightly frowned. Where was
What a beautiful woman! He had lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Of course he had seen various kinds of women, including the female monsters of the beast clan, the female devils of the demon clan and the female spirits of the immortal clan. He had seen all the beauties. However, he was still impressed by this woman. It was not only because of her stunning appearance and enchanting purple eyes but also due to her otherworldly demeanor of elegance.Yet, why did she call him Snow? If he remembered it correctly, his name in this life should be Xuanyuan Mo but why did the name of Snow sound so familiar?Seeing the grief and distress in the woman's eyes, he inherently felt pitiful and sad. Then, he subconsciously said, "Miss, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Snow."Hearing that, Duanmu Xi widened her eyes and then stared at Xuanyuan Mo. Was he not Snow? Were there such two identical men in the world? They were so much alike
Everyone was shocked to hear that because it was not Prince Zhan but Young General Lian of the Xuanwu Empire who said that.Lian Zhengyu's words made Xuanyuan Mo instinctively frown and feel somewhat jealous.Hearing that, Xuanyuan Hao sneered. Young General Lian was clearly lying through his teeth. Xuanyuan Hao knew the truth best. Last night, he had fought with Lian Zhengyu for the whole night.Duanmu Xi also stared at Lian Zhengyu in astonishment. Why did he lie? She was not with him last night.Around 9 p.m. last night, she looked for Snow with Qingfeng and then stayed with Snow in the cave. Now, Snow didn't remember her. She had no other witness to testify her at all. However, she didn't need any witnesses either. She believed that truth would speak for itself. Xiahou Shan was not killed by her. No matter what Zhuge Weiming asked, the fact couldn't be changed.Hearing that, Zhuge Weiming frowned and narrowe
As Xuanyuan Mo said that, all the people in the Baihu Hall were dumbstruck on the spot. They stared at Xuanyuan Mo in astonishment. A moment later, there was an uproar among them."Oh my god! Did I mishear? His Highness asks Crown Princess of Zhuque to marry into our empire instead of himself marrying into hers!""His Highness wants Crown Princess of Zhuque to marry into our empire. He is rather ambitious indeed!""His Highness is being too whimsical. Crown Princess of Zhuque is the crown princess of two empires. How can such an exalted woman marry into Baihu?""I don't think Crown Princess of Zhuque will agree."Zhuge Weiming frowned and looked at Xuanyuan Mo with grim eyes. It turned out that Xuanyuan Mo was the most cunning one. Zhuge Weiming thought that Xuanyuan Mo would really give up everything in the Baihu Empire and marry into the Zhuque Empire. Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Mo turned out to be so ambitious.
In the Xuelan House of Prince Zhan's mansion.Xuanyuan Mo was sitting in the bathing bucket. The clear bite mark on his right shoulder was discernible in the water. He stroked the bite mark gently in a trance.He couldn't remember anything about the bite mark. He had no idea who left it on his shoulder.As he suddenly thought of her touching the bite mark tearfully, he felt his heart aching. Why did he have some weird feeling every time he saw her.Then, he exerted force on his palm to press the bite mark harshly. His mysterious power made the bite mark imprinted on his shoulder forever. He had no idea why he wanted to leave the bite mark.After getting dressed, he got out of the room and looked at the full moon out of the window, thinking about the wedding to be held three days later.Suddenly, Xuanyuan Mo shouted somewhere, "Go into the imperial palace to guard her." The women in the imperial pala
Carrying a basin, Phoenix Five stepped into the room only to see Duanmu Xi was huddling helplessly in the corner on the bed like an injured beast.Phoenix Five felt her heart aching and her eyes slightly flickered. Her eyes clouded with tears instantly. She took a deep breath and blinked her eyes to conceal her feelings. Gently, she put down the basin and walked to the bedside, saying respectfully, "Your Highness, I've fetched the water for you. You may wash up now."Duanmu Xi didn't raise her head but said in a low voice, "You get out first."Her voice was cold as usual. It was hard to tell her feelings."Yes." Hearing that, Phoenix Five immediately bowed herself out of the room.Upon hearing that the door was closed, Duanmu Xi raised her head slowly. Her eyes were a bit red and her face was covered with traces of tears.She got up slowly, got dressed quietly and washed up, still thinking about the
At the gate of the imperial palace of the Baihu Empire, a luxurious carriage arrived in a hurry. In front of the carriage and behind it, there were armored soldiers carrying spears. It was also surrounded by tens of people in black. Yet, both the soldiers and the people in black were all women.Those guards at the gate of the palace were all astonished to see the scene. Who was sitting in the carriage? This grand occasion could be compared with His Majesty's.The carriage stopped slowly. A woman in black beside the carriage immediately went forward and reported respectfully, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, here we are at the imperial palace of the Baihu Empire."Then, the curtain was lifted and a man came from inside. The man was dressed in white, looked handsome and charming. He was so good-looking that he didn't seem like a mortal being.What a handsome man! He and Prince Zhan, the top handsome man in the Baihu Empire, were
Feeling Xuanyuan Mo's gaze, Duanmu Xi turned around and met a pair of deeply profound eyes.They looked each other in the eye. For the moment, time seemed to stagnate. They could see nothing but each other."Ahem... Um..." Looking at their affectionate eyes, Huangfu Cang was a bit disgruntled with his dark eyes slightly glittering. He put his fist at his lips and coughed twice.Hearing Huangfu Cang's cough, the two of them turned their gaze away. Duanmu Xi blushed and lowered her head, not daring to take another glance at Xuanyuan Mo anymore.Xuanyuan Mo also blushed a bit. At the thought of her bashful appearance, he felt a heat in his body.Huangfu Cang looked at Duanmu Xi's bashful bearing and sighed inwardly. Then, he glanced at Xuanyuan Mo again."Since Xi likes you, I will acknowledge you as my grandson-in-law then. However, the wedding mustn't be held in Baihu but Qinglong. Everything is read
Not only Duanmu Xi but also Duanmu Xue was touched. Duanmu Xue knew that her father-in-law loved Xi but she never expected that he would love her to this point. Even Che back then was not treated in this way.Duanmu Xue couldn't help thinking, "Back then, Father didn't agree with Che to marry into Zhuque and even wanted to attack Zhuque. In the end, it was because Che went on a hunger strike that Father had to agree. Eventually, Father not only abolished Che's position as the crown prince but also cut off the relationship with Che."Now, Xi only has shed a few drops of tears. Father not only agrees with her to marry into Baihu but also reserves her position as the crown princess. Evidently, he loves Xi so much."Huangfu Che's dark eyes were moist with tears. Of course he was happy that Xi could be so much loved by her grandpa. Besides, he also felt pitiful for his father. In a patriarchal empire like Qinglong, it was definitely not an ea
