Chapter 174

“Mo.” Upon seeing Xuanyuan Mo, Sir Snow immediately put down the tea bowl, stood up and patted Xuanyuan Mo’s shoulder amiably, “How are you doing recently?”

“Good.” Xuanyuan Mo held Sir Snow’s arm and got the latter to sit back on the chair. He himself sat next to Sir Snow.

Sir Snow slightly tilted his head and said to Liqing behind him, “Qing, come and greet your cousin.”

Upon hearing that, Liqing instantly swayed her waist and showed herself from Sir Snow gracefully. She cast a bashful glance at Xuanyuan Mo and curtsied to him, saying, “Greetings, Cousin Mo.”

Xuanyuan Mo paid no heed to Liqing and only looked at Sir Snow, “Grandpa, you haven’t met my wife yet. Now that you are here, why don’t you stay in the mansion for a while? I will take my wife to greet you later.”

Liqing’s bent body stiffened and her slightly red face instantly turned embarrassed. A glimmer of malice flashed across her eyes.

“Ahem… Ahem…” Sir Snow coughed twice with embarrassment and looked at Xuanyuan Mo, saying seriously, “Mo, you should know why I’m here today, right?”

Sir Snow took a meaningful look at Liqing.

Xuanyuan Mo followed Sir Snow’s gaze and glimpsed Liqing, his eyes glittering with fierceness.

“Qing, come here.” Sir Snow waved at Liqing amiably.

Hearing that, Liqing walked to Sir Snow docilely.

“I want you to accept Qing as your side consort.” Sir Snow looked at Xuanyuan Mo and told the latter why he was here.

When Liqing aside heard the words–side consort, she was a bit unreconciled and then let go. Whether to be the princess consort or the side consort, she was happy about being allowed to be with him. She believed that as long as she could stay in Prince Zhan’s mansion, she would surely become his princess consort one day.

Hearing Sir Snow’s words, Lishang outside the hall knitted his eyebrows, his eyes flickering.

Instantly, Xuanyuan Mo stood up and refused, “Impossible. I’ve already had a princess consort. I won’t accept any other woman. I won’t even let her be my concubine, let alone be my side consort.”

When he saw that woman just now, he had been mentally prepared. However, even though she made his grandpa come here, he would never accept her as his woman.

Xuanyuan Mo’s ruthless words struck a blow on Liqing’s heart. She clenched her fists in her sleeves. The long fingernails sank into her palms but she didn’t feel any pain at all. Why was he so heartless to her? Why did he still fail to see her affection after she had done so much for him?

Staring at Xuanyuan Mo’s determined face, Sir Snow also stood up, “The title of the side consort only. Qing helped break your seal and she’s even pregnant with your baby. I’m asking you to make her your side consort only. What’s the problem with that?”

He intended to make Mo grant Qing the title of the princess consort but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he changed his mind. After all, Mo was his dearest grandson. He couldn’t bear to see Mo lose his love. He only wanted to let Mo grant Qing a title. It didn’t matter whether she would be the princess consort or the side consort.

Lishang outside the hall widened his eyes in astonishment upon hearing about Liqing’s pregnancy. Qing was pregnant with His Highness’s baby. Was it true?

Xuanyuan Mo glimpsed Liqing and sneered, “Who told you that my seal was broken by her? What does her baby have to do with me?”

Hearing that, Sir Snow and Lishang were dazed at the same time and didn’t understand what Xuanyuan Mo meant.

Liqing was also shocked and flurried to hear that. Why did he say that? Did he know anything?

Liqing bit her tongue and compelled herself to calm down. When she raised her head, her eyes were filled with tears. Looking at Xuanyuan Mo, Liqing said with a sad face, “Cousin Mo, how can you say that? I’ve lost my virginity to you. Of course my baby’s father is you. Are you trying to hound me to death by saying so?”

After saying that, Liqing had dissolved into tears.

With his amber eyes coated with fierceness, Xuanyuan Mo said coldly, “You are clear whether I did anything to you. You are also aware of who your baby’s father is or whether you are really pregnant.”

Hearing that, Sir Snow and Lishang were both confused. Sir Snow even turned his gaze to look at Liqing’s belly and knitted his eyebrows. At that time, when he heard Qing say that she was pregnant with Mo’s baby, he was too happy to have a doctor check her body. Was she lying? She was not pregnant at all?

Seeing Sir Snow’s suspicious eyes, Liqing broke out in a sweat and hung her head. A glint of malice flashed across her eyes.

She raised her head and looked at Xuanyuan Mo, saying in grief, “If you didn’t do anything to me, how was your seal broken then? Why did we sleep on the bed in the inn naked that day? How do you explain the bloodstain on the sheet?”

Sir Snow was no longer suspicious. Putting aside other things, the seal on the beast god’s power in Mo’s body could only be broken by eating the ice spiritual fruit or having intercourse with a woman of extreme Yin. There were very few women of extreme Yin in the world. If it were not Liqing who helped break the seal for him, who else could it be?

Xuanyuan Mo frowned with annoyance. This woman was so rude. Yet, he had lost the memory so he couldn’t argue back at all.

Noticing that Sir Snow was not suspicious, Liqing felt a flash of complacency and then stroked her belly in desperation, “Baby, I’m so sorry.”

Then, Liqing rushed towards the big red pillar in front.

“Qing, don’t.” Seeing the scene, Sir Snow immediately flew over and dragged her.

“King, let me die. Only if I die can I prove myself innocent.” Liqing sobbed with grievances and struggled to smack into the pillar in front.

Lishang outside the hall heard her voice and immediately rushed inside. Seeing Liqing’s tearful face, he felt pity for her. After all, she was his sister. How could he not care about her?

Xuanyuan Mo aside was poker-faced and disdained. He hated this kind of hypocritical and affected woman most. She was as disgusting as those women in the imperial palace.

“Rest assured. I will do you justice.” Sir Snow comforted Liqing and winked at Lishang to let him keep an eye on her.

Lishang took the hint and immediately went forward to support Liqing.

Sir Snow turned around and looked at Xuanyuan Mo, saying with a grim voice, “Whether you like it or not, you must grant Qing a title.”

Xuanyuan Mo knitted his eyebrows, his eyes glittering with fierceness, “I’ll repeat once again. I won’t accept any other woman than Xi. Isn’t the snow wolf clan the most loyal to their love? Every man of the wolf clan will only marry a woman. Why do you force me to have another woman?”

“We wolf clan value personal feelings most but we also care about descendants most. I can never give up any member of our blood. Hence, you must accept Qing regardless.” Sir Snow looked determined, leaving no room for negotiation.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo was also furious and said in a cold voice, “You may marry her if you insist. I won’t accept her anyway!” Then, with a flick of sleeves, he strode out of the hall.

Irritated by Xuanyuan Mo’s words, Sir Snow stared at his back and shouted, “Brat, freeze.”

Xuanyuan Mo paid no heed to Sir Snow’s snarl and instantly got out of the main hall without looking back.

Liqing was a bit anxious to see Xuanyuan Mo had left. She stared at Sir Snow and shed tears again, “King, what should we do now?”

Sir Snow took a look at Liqing and comforted, “No worries. I will make him grant you a title.”

Then, he looked out of the hall and knitted his eyebrows. Mo was so stubborn. It seemed that Mo would never agree. In this case, he had no other choice but to turn to that man.

Xuanyuan Mo left the main hall and directly arrived at Ximo House.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Mo was back, Duanmu Xi smiled, “Snow…”

No sooner had she uttered his name than her lips were captured by Xuanyuan Mo. Duanmu Xi widened her eyes and embraced his wild and passionate kiss passively.

With one hand around Duanmu Xi’s slim waist, Xuanyuan Mo put his other hand on the back of her head. He kissed the woman in his arms madly as if to swallow her.

Feeling Xuanyuan Mo’s uneasiness, Duanmu Xi slightly frowned and put her arms around his neck. Standing on tip-toe, she started responding to his kiss.

Duanmu Xi’s soft kiss slowly calmed Xuanyuan Mo’s perturbed mind. He held Duanmu Xi in his arms tightly and buried his face in her hair deeply.

“What’s wrong?” Duanmu Xi stroked Xuanyuan Mo’s long hair gently as if comforting a kid.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo didn’t answer and still buried his head in Duanmu Xi’s hair. A moment later, he finally raised his head slowly and looked at Duanmu Xi, saying seriously, “Xi, please trust me. I didn’t betray you.”

Duanmu Xi slightly frowned, “Are you talking about that sacred maiden of the Wilderness Holy Region?”

Xuanyuan Mo was slightly dazed to hear that and then realized that the sacred maiden of the Wilderness Holy Region was that wolf woman. He nodded, “Yes. Nothing happened between her and me. I’m innocent.”

Seeing Xuanyuan Mo’s extremely serious eyes, Duanmu Xi suddenly felt a heavy load off her heart and then smiled, “I’ll believe whatever you say.”

Xuanyuan Mo’s amber eyes immediately glistened. He lowered his head to kiss Duanmu Xi again.

This time, his kiss was still wild and passionate as if he was kissing her with all the passion he could have in his life.

Duanmu Xi also responded to Xuanyuan Mo’s kiss passionately and didn’t have any mental barrier. For her, although their relationship had been improved these days, that thing was still like a thorn stabbing into her heart. Now that the thorn was finally pulled out, she didn’t feel pain then.

The heart knot between them was gone. Their relationship also seemed to return to the past. A moment later, they finally stopped kissing, gasping.

Duanmu Xi leaned against Xuanyuan Mo’s arms feebly and held his waist tightly, “Why did you acquiesce in it? Do you know how sad I was?” Her voice was light and yet pitifully plaintive.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo felt a gut-wrenching pain in his heart as if he saw her inconsolable appearance. He was self-condemned and slowly tightened his arms around her, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know that until a few days ago.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi raised her head and stared at Xuanyuan Mo in confusion.
