Chapter 178

“Long Live Your Majesty the Emperor.”

Huai’er looked at the gold medal in Liqing’s hand and also knelt on the ground. A gleam of fierceness flashed across her drooping eyes. No wonder she dared to be so arrogant. It turned out that she had the gold medal granted by the emperor.

Seeing that all the people knelt, Liqing lifted her chin, her eyes sparkling with a bit of excitement. She felt so good about riding the high horse.

Xuanyuan Mo looked at the gold medal in Liqing’s hand, his amber eyes glistening with a bit of anger. Dang. Why didn’t his father tell him about the gold medal just now?

Xuanyuan Lie who was picking supplements in his warehouse suddenly sneezed. He touched his nose. What was wrong? Was anyone cursing him? Whatever. His current priority was to pick presents for his grandson.

Liqing stared at Xuanyuan Mo and arched her eyebrows, her coquettish glistening with a gleam of complacency, “Mo, I have the gold medal given by His Majesty. You can’t expel me from the mansion.”

Luckily, she was foresighted enough to tell Wolf King to ask the emperor for a gold medal.

Looking at Liqing’s complacent face, Xuanyuan Mo slightly narrowed his eyes with a bit of annoyance.

“I’ve destroyed the imperial edict. Do you think I will be afraid of a small gold medal?” His cold voice was full of disdain.

Liqing’s complacent expression stiffened at once.

“Throw these people out now.”

Upon hearing Xuanyuan Mo’s order, the tiger guards in the darkness immediately showed themselves and threw all Liqing’s guards out of Xuelan House. Liqing was also carried out of the courtyard by Yu Ying and Yu Feng.

While struggling, Liqing shouted, “How dare you? I’m pregnant with Mo’s baby. How dare you throw me out? If anything untoward happens to my baby, His Majesty will make you suffer.”

Upon hearing that, Yu Ying and Yu Feng stiffened and looked at Liqing’s belly simultaneously.

Upon hearing Liqing mention her baby again, Xuanyuan Mo looked grim.

“Xuelan House is so bustling today.” A cold female voice sounded when the situation reached a stalemate.

Upon seeing Duanmu Xi, all the people immediately greeted her with a bow, “Greetings, Your Highness.”

Xuanyuan Mo raised his head and saw Duanmu Xi. He immediately went forward and held her hand. Instantly, the coldness on his face was gone at once.

“What brought you here? Did they disturb you?” Now, Xuanyuan Mo’s voice was quite tender rather than cold.

Liqing looked at Xuanyuan Mo’s soft expression jealously.

Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Mo with a subtle smile. She shook her head and said, “I’m just here to watch the fun. Are you going to expel her?”

Duanmu Xi looked sideways at Liqing.

Liqing looked at Duanmu Xi’s smiling face and put on a gloomy look. Clearly, Duanmu Xi was here to laugh at her.

“Not expel but throw out.” Speaking of Liqing, Xuanyuan Mo looked stern again. She dared to trespass on Xuelan House. It was already lenient of him not to kill her.

Instantly, Liqing’s face darkened again.

Duanmu Xi slightly curled her lips. In a good mood, she said casually, “No need to throw her out. If anything goes wrong with her baby, it will be too bad. Besides, it will damage your reputation.”

Hearing that, Liqing appeared a bit complacent and thought, “Duanmu Xi, you are smart indeed. If I’m really expelled today, I must make all the people in the Imperial City know how jealous and vicious you are.”

Xuanyuan Mo felt a bit confused but he only stared at Duanmu Xi in silence.

Seeing the complacent look of Liqing, Duanmu Xi sneered, “You can’t throw her out indeed but you may dump her out of the mansion.”

Hearing that, Liqing was embarrassed rather than complacent. Dump her? Was she regarded as rubbish?

Xuanyuan Mo slightly curled his lips with a gleam of affection flashing across his eyes. Then, after a glimpse of Liqing, he shouted again, “Somebody come and dump her out of the mansion.”

Upon hearing that, Yu Ying and Yu Feng went forward and carried Liqing out of the courtyard again.

Liqing struggled for a bit and still couldn’t break free. She felt a bit anxious and glared at Duanmu Xi maliciously, “Duanmu Xi, you don’t let me stay in the mansion. Is it because you are afraid that I will win Mo’s favor?”

When Duanmu Xi heard Liqing’s words, a gleam of disdain flashed across her dark purple eyes. She slightly curled her lips. Liqing wanted to prod her into action? It was a desperate act only.

She suddenly thought of something and then turned around to look at Xuanyuan Mo, “Since she wants to stay in our mansion so badly, let her stay then. She can relieve the monotony of everyday life for us.”

Xuanyuan Mo knitted his eyebrows and stared at Duanmu Xi’s purple eyes in confusion.

Looking at Xuanyuan Mo’s confused face, Duanmu smiled and blinked at Xuanyuan Mo. Then, she turned around and ordered Yu Ying and Yu Feng, “Release her.”

Upon hearing that, Yu Ying and Yu Feng instantly let go of Liqing and stood aside.

Liqing rubbed her arms, her eyes filled with faint scorn. Duanmu Xi was such a stupid woman. Liqing believed that she would make Duanmu Xi suffer as long as she could stay in Prince Zhan’s mansion.

With a smile, Duanmu Xi glimpsed the luggage on the ground, “You can stay but you can’t live in the Eastern Courtyard.” This was the residence of her and Snow. How could she let this woman tarnish it?

Upon hearing that, Liqing immediately shouted, “Why can’t I live the Eastern Courtyard? Duanmu Xi, you don’t live here. Why can’t I live here?”

Duanmu Xi’s lips curved into a sneer. She slightly arched her eyebrows, “Who told you that I wouldn’t live here?”

She slightly turned her head and told Phoenix Five behind her, “Phoenix Five, move my things inside.”

Upon hearing that, Phoenix Five immediately said with a bow, “Yes, Princess Consort.” This time, Phoenix Five didn’t address Duanmu Xi as “Your Highness” because she thought that it was awe-inspiring to call Duanmu Xi “Princess Consort” at the moment.

Xuanyuan Mo looked at Duanmu Xi with smiling eyes. Eventually, Xi was willing to move back. Now, without that old man, they could finally live a life of two of them only.

Liqing looked gloomy and glared at Duanmu Xi sulkily. Duanmu Xi was willful.

Liqing’s gloomy eyes displeased Xuanyuan Mo, “Leave now. Do you want me to have you thrown out again?”

Hearing that, Liqing walked out of the yard reluctantly with a flick of sleeves.

Seeing the scene, Huai’er caught up with her at once.

“Wait a minute.”

Hearing Xuanyuan Mo’s voice, Liqing stopped right away and turned around to look at Xuanyuan Mo with an expectant expression.

“Since you are so unsatisfied with the Western Courtyard, live in the Northern Courtyard.”

Xuanyuan Mo’s words were like a basin of cold water poured down on Liqing, which extinguished all her passion and expectations.

“Mo, I…”

Liqing wanted to say something but Xuanyuan Mo didn’t give her any chance of talking. He ordered Yu Ying aside, “Take her to the Northern Courtyard. If she is still not satisfied, send her to a servant’s room.”

Liqing gazed at Xuanyuan Mo with a grieved look, her coquettish eyes full of unwillingness and sorrow. She balled her hands into fists. Her long nails sank into her palms. Why did he always treat her so coldly? Why did he only care about Duanmu Xi?

“Yes,” Yu Ying immediately replied with a bow. Then, he turned around and looked at Liqing, “Let’s go, Miss.”

Yu Ying didn’t like Lishang’s sister at all. No wonder His Highness disliked her. Even Yu Ying wouldn’t fall for her.

Liqing cast an aloof glance at Yu Ying and turned to stride out of Xuelan House.

Upon entering the room, Xuanyuan Mo looked at Duanmu Xi, “Xi, how can you let that woman stay in our mansion?”

Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Mo’s worried face with smiling eyes, “What? Are you afraid that you will fall in love with her?”

Upon hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo immediately raised his voice, “How is it possible?” To fall in love with her? Not even a chance!

Duanmu Xi slightly curled her lips and pinched Xuanyuan Mo’s face, “Snow, do you know you look very cute now?”

Cute? How could she say he was cute? Xuanyuan Mo was rendered speechless, “Oh yeah? Are you sure I’m cute?”

Duanmu Xi immediately cracked a beautiful smile and cupped Xuanyuan Mo’s handsome face with both hands. Standing on tiptoe, she kissed him on the lips.

Xuanyuan Mo directly embraced her passion and kissed her back tenderly and delicately.

A while later, they finally ended the kiss. Xuanyuan Mo held Duanmu Xi into his arms gently, “Why do you let her stay?”

Duanmu Xi put her arms around Xuanyuan Mo’s waist and rubbed her face against his chest, “Do you remember Third Master?”

Xuanyuan Mo was slightly dazed to hear that and then said gently, “Of course.”

Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Mo, “I doubt that Third Master’s disappearance has something to do with her.”

Xuanyuan Mo said nothing and only stared at Duanmu Xi, waiting for her to continue talking.

“Actually, I’ve met her before. In the Spiritual Beast Forest, Xiahou Shan, Hua Xian’er and she worked together to strike me down the cliff.”

Upon hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo immediately became fierce, his eyes seething with rich killing intent, “I’ll go and kill her.”

Then, Xuanyuan Mo wanted to rush out of the room.

“Don’t. Spare her life for now. I want to find Third Master’s whereabouts through her.” Duanmu Xi hurriedly held Xuanyuan Mo and kept him from moving.

“The moves she made to fight with me that day were very similar to Third Master’s. They should come from the same origin. Besides, Third Master is very familiar with the things in the Wilderness Holy Region. I suspect that Third Master should have something to do with the Wilderness Holy Region even if he is not from the Wilderness Holy Region. So does her appearance. Therefore, I want to take her as the entry point. Maybe I can find some clues through her.”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll ask Yu Feng to keep an eye on her now.” “No need. I’ve let Long Yue do it.” She trusted Long Yue’s ability. He must be able to find something!

Xuanyuan Mo slightly knitted his eyebrows, “Since Long Yue is not around you, who will protect you?”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi smiled, “It’s okay. I’ve got Phoenix Five and Lian Zhengyu.”

When it came to Lian Zhengyu, Xuanyuan Mo’s face darkened again. This man became her secret guard without rhyme or reason. Now that a love rival followed her all day long, he felt so depressed.

Feeling Xuanyuan Mo’s disgruntlement, Duanmu Xi immediately raised her head and said fawningly, “Even though they are all not around me, it will be fine. I’ve got you. With you around, I fear nothing!”

Staring at Duanmu Xi who smiled sweetly, Xuanyuan Mo looked a lot softer and then pointed at her nose gently, saying with a grin, “You’re such a boot licker.”
