Chapter 241

With the dimly discernible voice, a figure appeared in front of Duanmu Xi.

Seeing the Region Master standing in front of her, Duanmu Xi took on a murderous look and wished to throttle him right away.

The Region Master looked at Duanmu Xi’s resentful eyes, his dark eyes flicking. He couldn’t help walking forward but someone got in his way.

The Region Master looked at the stunning man in his way. This was the man who broke his immortal-grade magic weapon. He didn’t expect this man who was more good-looking than women would be so competent! He figured that the enchantment must be set by this man. What was the relationship between this man and Duanmu Xi?

“Crown Princess of Zhuque, you’ve got a new sweetheart shortly after you left the Baihu Empire. Will your husband feel sad if this is known by him?” The Region Master’s voice was teasing and deeply salty, which made others frown.

Hearing his words, Bai He was directly dumbfounded. Duanmu Xi was married! She was married!

Duanmu Xi sneered, “It’s none of your business. Don’t be so nosy.” Due to Mei Luo, Duanmu Xi disliked this Region Master at all.

The Region Master’s face under the mask instantly darkened.

Duanmu Xi glanced at the Region Master coldly and lowered her head to study the shackles in her hands. Anyway, her current priority was to rescue her third master. She didn’t want her third master to suffer the torture anymore.

“Xi, leave me alone. Get out of here.” Mei Luo looked at Duanmu Xi with affection.

Duanmu Xi looked at Mei Luo, her dark purple eyes full of determination, “I must take you out of here by all means.” She came to the Wilderness Region merely to save her third master. How could she give up because of a little difficulty?

Mei Luo looked at Duanmu Xi’s stubborn face with teary eyes and slightly curled her lips. Actually, she hadn’t meant to get out. She had no family or anything worth her lingering other than Xi in the world. Hence, when those people tortured her, she didn’t want to fight back. However, now, for Xi’s sake, she didn’t want to mope around anymore.

The Region Master looked at Duanmu Xi burying her head in studying the shackles and sneered, “It won’t work. The iron shackles’ grade is even higher than that of the iron barren. You can’t open the shackles without the key. Besides, you’d better not try to open it forcibly unless you want her to die of an excessive loss of blood.”

Duanmu Xi grabbed her shackles, the knuckles of her fingers slightly whitening. Her dark purple eyes were raging with fury.

“What do you say? This is the magic weapon I specially designed for her. Crown Princess of Zhuque, are you satisfied?” Seeing Duanmu Xi’s angry face, the Region Master became more complacent.

“Despicable!” Duanmu Xi turned around abruptly and struck out a rush of purple mysterious Qi at the Region Master.

Instantly, the Region Master cast a rush of mysterious Qi to create a Shield Wall to resist Duanmu Xi’s attack.

Duanmu Xi grabbed the dagger from the ground and rushed at the Region Master.

The Region Master grabbed Duanmu Xi’s wrist with a smile, “Crown Princess of Zhuque, why bother? As long as you agree to marry me, I’ll give you the key.” Then, he tried to lift Duanmu Xi’s chin.

“Shame on you.” Duanmu Xi waved away the Region Master’s hand.

Currently, Bai He also came to his senses and instantly moved to Duanmu Xi to protect her.

The Region Master arched his brows, “Shame on me? I just want to get what I want in my own way. What’s wrong with that?” He realized that no matter what he did, she wouldn’t fall in love with him. However, whether she loved him or not, he would want to get her. Since she didn’t love him, he would let her hate him. At least, he could gain a foothold in her heart.

Seeing the Region Master’s haughty face, Duanmu Xi felt disgusted.

“Xuanyuan Hao.” Mei Luo looked at the Region Master with grief, “You’re so shameless. You know Xi is your sister-in-law. How can you have the cheek to make such a request? You’re really conscienceless!”

Duanmu Xi looked at the Region Master abruptly and fiercely as if her sharp eyes were about to penetrate his black mask.

Faced with Duanmu Xi’s cold and sharp eyes, the Region Master was not flustered at all. He gently took off the mask and with a wave, the mask turned into ashes. He had long wanted to take off the mask. He didn’t want to be a rat. He wanted power, status and Duanmu Xi.

Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Hao’s familiar face and slightly narrowed her dark purple eyes. Her feelings were right. It was really him.

Xuanyuan Hao looked at Duanmu Xi and slightly smiled, “Sister-in-law, long time no see! No, actually, I prefer to call you Crown Princess of Zhuque.” Calling her Crown Princess of Zhuque made him feel that she was as beautiful and pure as before.

Duanmu Xi glimpsed Xuanyuan Hao. The disdain in her eyes made Xuanyuan Hao very uncomfortable, but he still suppressed his disgruntlement, saying with a smile, “Or, I can call you honey.”

“In your dreams!” Duanmu Xi rejected without thinking, “I won’t marry you. Just give up!”

Xuanyuan Hao sneered. He would never give up unless he died, “You won’t marry me. Don’t you want to save your master?”

Xuanyuan Hao turned to Mei Luo and said sulkily, “Auntie, you treat her as your daughter. However, she doesn’t care about you at all.”

Duanmu Xi widened her eyes. Her third master turned out to be Xuanyuan Hao’s auntie. In this case, her third master and Consort Hui were sisters.

Bai He also looked at Xuanyuan Hao in shock. Since she was his aunt, why did he treat her so brutally?

Hearing how Xuanyuan Hao called her, Mei Luo got softened and heaved a sigh, “Xuanyuan Hao, just give up! Xi has married your brother and is pregnant with his babies. Please let them go and also let go of yourself.”

Hearing her mention Duanmu Xi was pregnant, Bai He was dumbfounded and stared at Duanmu Xi’s belly bump. He cracked a bitter smile. He was too silly. It was so obvious. Why didn’t he see through that before?

Xuanyuan Hao’s gentle appearance instantly became hideous and shouted at Mei Luo, “Let them go. Why would I let them go? You’re my auntie. Why do you help Xuanyuan Mo, an outsider instead of me? Why can Xuanyuan Mo, the bastard get Duanmu Xi and I can’t? I love her too. My love for her isn’t less than Xuanyuan Mo’s love for her. Why is life so unfair?”

After yelling, Xuanyuan Hao turned to Duanmu Xi, “As long as you marry me, I can put up with your baby. After all, it is a member of the Xuanyuan Family. I can even treat it as my own child. As for your master, as long as we get married, I’ll give you the key and cure all her injuries.”

Faced with Xuanyuan Hao’s overbearing eyes, Duanmu Xi sneered. He used the carrot and the stick. He literally did whatever he could do to get what he wanted!

She never knew he liked her. Neither did she know he would be so obsessed with her. When she recalled their past, she couldn’t remember when they knew each other or what special things had happened between them. It was fair enough to say that she had no impression of Xuanyuan Hao, except that he looked a bit similar to Snow.

Seeing that Duanmu Xi seemed to be thinking with her head lowered, Mei Luo got anxious and shouted in a hoarse voice, “Xi, if you dare to agree, I’ll commit suicide.” Xuanyuan Hao was scheming and narrow-minded. He couldn’t let go of Xi’s child. If Xi really agreed to marry Xuanyuan Hao, he would do his best to get rid of Xi’s baby.

Bai He also said anxiously, “Stop dreaming. Xi won’t marry you.” For a malicious man who could treat his auntie so brutally, how could he treat Xi and her baby sincerely? Bai He wouldn’t see Xi fall into an abyss.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi looked at Mei Luo and Bai He, deeply touched. She wouldn’t marry Xuanyuan Hao. She had married Snow. No matter what Xuanyuan Hao said, she wouldn’t marry him. Snow was her only husband in this life. She wouldn’t marry anyone else.

“If you wanna marry Xi, cross my dead body,” Bai He said and struck his palm at Xuanyuan Hao.

Bai He’s sudden attack struck Xuanyuan Hao dumb. Xuanyuan Hao hastened to raise his hand to confront Bai He.

As they got into a fight, Duanmu Xi quickly got close to Mei Luo and tried to open the shackles. However, no matter what she did, the shackles just remained intact.

Seeing the sweat on Duanmu Xi’s forehead, Mei Luo felt so touched and said in a low voice, “Xi, hold your horses. Hear me out first.”

Duanmu Xi stopped and took the hint. She leaned over gently.

Mei Luo also leaned forward and whispered to Duanmu Xi, “Xi, if you want to save me, the only solution is to take the Purple Hell Stone and go to the grotto on the back hill for the eight elders. Only they can crack the shackles on me. The grotto on the back hill is full of mechanisms. You must be careful!” Actually, Mei Luo didn’t want Duanmu Xi to take risks but compared with that, she hated it more if Duanmu Xi had to marry Xuanyuan Hao.

Duanmu Xi frowned. Damn. When she left the Baihu Empire, she left the Purple Hell Stone to Snow. Now, how could she get the stone?

Seeing Duanmu Xi’s worried face, Mei Luo also knitted her brows, “What’s wrong?”

“Oh, I’m fine!” Duanmu Xi’s eyes glistened. She looked at Mei Luo and said, “Third Master, rest assured. I will bring the eight elders here.” She must ask the eight elders to break the shackles on her third master by all means.
