Chapter 201

Duanmu Xi was testing her mysterious Qi in the yard. Seeing the light purple mysterious Qi gathered in her palm, Duanmu Xi felt ecstatic.

She didn’t expect that the mysterious Qi sealed in her body was not only released but also got promoted within a few days. Now, she had become a low-level Mysterious Deity from a peak-level Mysterious Emperor. Undoubtedly, this would guarantee her safety more during the trip to the Wilderness Holy Region.

At the thought of the white tiger she had contracted with, she hadn’t named it yet.

“White Tiger.” As Duanmu Xi summoned, a white tiger appeared in Xuelan House from nowhere.

“Mistress.” It was still that beautiful male voice but it was still a bit cold.

Duanmu Xi subconsciously stroked her arms. Why did it become a lot colder as if the air were frozen when the white tiger showed up?

Yet, the feeling didn’t last long. After all, Duanmu Xi had the ice spiritual root. Those with the ice spiritual root were not afraid of coldness.

Duanmu Xi gazed at the white tiger without blinking her eyes. That day, she just glanced twice at it and didn’t look at it carefully. Surprisingly, the white tiger had a pair of white wings.

Duanmu Xi couldn’t help stroking the big wings. They touched like feathers–hard rather than soft.

Touched by Duanmu Xi, the white tiger was shocked and immediately jumped aside. It kept glancing around Duanmu Xi from time to time. It was relieved when it didn’t find Xuanyuan Mo. It was a good thing that the beast god was not around. If the beast god saw its mistress touch it like that, it would be messed up then.

Duanmu Xi saw the white tiger jump aside and thought that it was shy. So, she didn’t go forward to touch it and just said, “Since you have a pair of white wings, I’ll name you Baiyu then.”

The white tiger immediately said, “Thank you for naming me.”

Duanmu Xi took out a blue crystal ball from her arms and looked at Baiyu, “You shall live in the crystal ball with Qingfeng, Lanze and the others. You may look after each other.”

The crystal ball featured a large space, rich mysterious and spiritual Qi and nice scenery. She believed that Baiyu would love it.

Baiyu nodded and directly got into the crystal ball without saying much.

Upon entering the crystal ball, Baiyu was thrilled by the rich mysterious and spiritual Qi in the space. Its light blue eyes glistened. It was a good place indeed.

While Baiyu was lost in thought, it heard a soft child’s voice, “Who are you?”

Baiyu looked down at the green ball curled up on the ground and gently knitted its eyes, thinking, “What is this?”

That green ball was not angry about Baiyu’s not answering and introduced itself, “Hello, my name is Lyuzhu. What’s your name?”

Baiyu still didn’t reply. It wanted to leave but upon thinking that this place was special, this green ball must be the mistress’s contracted beast. It shouldn’t make the relationship sour on the first day of arrival.

Then, Baiyu directly lifted the green ball from the ground and finally saw its appearance.

This green ball was full of light bluish-green furs with a dragon’s head, a horse’s body, qilin’s feet and a backward horn on its head. Besides, just like Baiyu, it also had a pair of wings on its back, except that the wings were green.

The green ball turned out to be a Tianlu Beast but judging from its appearance, it hadn’t grown up yet.

Since this green ball was lifted by Baiyu, it had kept staring into Baiyu’s light blue eyes.

While they were gazing at each other “affectionately”, two men and two women walked out of Huanghe Building on the opposite side. One of the men was dressed in cyan with an elegant and handsome look while the other one was dressed in blue with a gentle appearance. One of the women was dressed in red, who looked coquettish and enchanting like a Manjusaka while the other one was dressed in purple, who appeared attractive and holy like a Water Lily.

Baiyu put the green ball down. The woman in purple immediately went forward to carry the green ball into her arms.

Baiyu only knew the man in cyan and the woman in red.

Upon seeing Baiyu, the woman in red said with excitement, “Bai.”

Baiyu curled its lips, “Hongling.”

Then, it turned to the man in cyan, “Qingfeng.”

The man in cyan was also happy to see Baiyu and directly went forward to thump Baiyu’s shoulder, “You came too slowly.”

Baiyu’s mouth twitched. How could it decide when it could come here?

…

At night, just as before, Xuanyuan Mo carried Duanmu Xi onto the bed upon entering the room.

Looking at Xuanyuan Mo over her, Duanmu Xi smiled mischievously and directly towered above him.

Xuanyuan Mo blinked his eyes, “Xi…”

Duanmu Xi bent down to lick Xuanyuan Mo’s earlobe and whispered to him, “I want to be on top tonight.”

The slippery feeling on the earlobe made Xuanyuan Mo stiffen. Before he thought further, Duanmu Xi had started to take off his clothes.

They had a wonderful night. When Xuanyuan Mo woke up, he didn’t see Duanmu Xi. Astonished, he directly got off the bed and dashed out of the room.

As soon as he rushed out of the room, he saw Duanmu Xi enter Xuelan House, who was followed by Phoenix Five holding a tray.

Upon seeing Xuanyuan Mo wearing undergarments and standing at the entrance barefoot, Duanmu Xi got taken aback and directly scurried to him, saying with worry, “What’s wrong with you? Why do you come out without wearing shoes…”

Before she finished talking, she was held into Xuanyuan Mo’s arms…

Xuanyuan Mo hugged Duanmu Xi tightly as if to integrate her into his flesh.

Phoenix Five aside directly put the breakfast on the table and sneaked out of Xuelan House. She just stood outside on guard.

Because Xuanyuan Mo was not well dressed, Duanmu Xi’s face was pressed against Xuanyuan Mo’s chest directly.

His hot chest and potent heartbeat made Duanmu Xi blush a bit. After all, it was daytime and they were not in the room. Duanmu Xi felt rather uncomfortable.

Xuanyuan Mo hugged Duanmu Xi tightly. After a long while, he whispered to her ear, “Xi, don’t leave me.”

His voice sounded so husky as if he seemed to have used up his strength.

When Duanmu Xi heard that, a lump came into her throat and her eyes were filled with tears instantly. Yet, Duanmu Xi widened her eyes to stop tears from rolling down.

She caressed Xuanyuan Mo’s back again and again as if comforting him and herself.

A while later, Duanmu Xi raised her head, looked at Xuanyuan Mo and then pecked him on the lips, saying with a smile, “I was away to make breakfast only. Why are you so worried?”

Xuanyuan Mo looked at her smiling purple eyes and then directly captured her red lips. He just wouldn’t let go of the soft lips. It seemed to be the only way for him to feel her beauty and soothe his uneasiness.

Feeling Xuanyuan Mo’s uneasiness, Duanmu Xi felt quite guilty. She stood on tiptoe and responded to his kiss passionately.

This crazy kiss didn’t stop until they both panted.

“Don’t go to the kitchen anymore.” His husky voice carried a masterful air.

Duanmu Xi was slightly taken aback to hear that. Then, she grinned and replied, “Okay.”

“Let’s go inside. It’s cold outside.” Holding Xuanyuan Mo’s hand, Duanmu Xi entered the room, picked up the coat from the screen and started to help Xuanyuan Mo dress up.

Xuanyuan Mo realized what she was doing. He directly grabbed Duanmu Xi’s hand and stopped her from acting, “I’ll do it myself.”

As her hand was grabbed, Duanmu Xi had to give in. She said gently, “OK. Have breakfast after you get dressed. You’d better eat it while it’s still hot.”

Xuanyuan Mo nodded and quickly dressed himself up. Then, he just sat by the table with Duanmu Xi.

He served a bowl of porridge for Duanmu Xi as usual and then served the dishes for her.

Duanmu Xi’s eyes glistened. She took the soup spoon and served a bowl of cubilose for him, “Snow, I specially made this for you. Try it.”

Xuanyuan Mo took the cubilose and directly drank it up. Duanmu Xi was dazed and then served another bowl for him. He still had it all at a stretch.

After having breakfast, Duanmu Xi made Xuanyuan Mo get on the bed with her, “Snow, I’m sleepy. Let’s take a nap together.”

Xuanyuan Mo said nothing and just hugged her tightly.

A while later, Duanmu Xi shook Xuanyuan Mo gently and called him in a low voice, “Snow… Snow…”

After confirming that he had fallen asleep, Duanmu Xi stroked his handsome face, “I’m sorry, Snow.”

Her tear dropped on Xuanyuan Mo’s closed eyes and fell along the corner of his eye.

Duanmu Xi bent down to kiss Xuanyuan Mo’s lips, “Snow, wait for me. I’ll be back as soon as possible.”

At the moment, Duanmu Xi didn’t notice that Xuanyuan Mo had clenched his fists.

Duanmu Xi still left with Situ Kong, Phoenix Five, Phoenix Thirteen, Phoenix Fourteen, Long Ri, Long Yue and even Yu Ying. Only Xuanyuan Mo was left.

In Ximo House, Chen looked at the letter in his hand and felt a bit sad.

Lian Zhengyu looked at Chen’s sad face and also felt dejected.

Chen looked at Lian Zhengyu, “My master is gone. Why don’t you follow her?”

Chen knew that Lian Zhengyu was not Young General Lian of the Xuanwu Empire but Duanmu Xi’s secret guard.

Lian Zhengyu took a deep breath and then looked at the sky. There was a glimmer of expectation in his eyes, “I’ll go to her after taking you back.”

He was her secret guard indeed but now, Chen needed him more.

“Take me back?” Chen’s voice was low with uncertainty. He didn’t want to go back. He’d rather wander outside and have a lot of people hunting him down than go back to that luxurious cage and be a puppet.

“Yes. I’ll take you back. You shall return to the place where you belong to.”

Chen cracked a bitter smile. Did he belong to that place?

“You’re escaping now. Escaping is not the solution. You should go back to recapture the things that should have belonged to you and finish your mission. Only in this way can you live up to the one who handed over the task to you.”

At the thought of his father’s last words, Chen’s eyes misted over. Tears just rolled down his face.

Seeing Chen shedding tears, Lian Zhengyu felt sorry for him. No matter how sophisticated Chen was, he was still an eight-year-old kid. Lian Zhengyu patted his shoulder, “Everyone has his mission. It’s just that different people have different missions. Only cowards would escape. Brave people confront, even if they are to lose.”

Chen stopped crying then. Lian Zhengyu was right. Chen shouldn’t escape anymore. He must go back and face everything. Even if he would die for it, he must go back. That was the mission given by his father. He must complete it by all means.

These days were the happiest moments for him over the past few years. It was a short time but he would never forget this woman who saved his life, let him know about the warmth of kinship and cared about him like a sister. Never would he forget that the woman was his master.
