Chapter 276

While Duanmu Xi was lost in thought, Xuanyuan Mo just got on top of her.

Facing Xuanyuan Mo’s sinister smile, Duanmu Xi looked away bashfully, “Well, it’s daytime now…”

Xuanyuan Mo whispered to Duanmu Xi and said with a sinister smile, “I remember when you were eating, you kissed me.” With that, Xuanyuan Mo took off Duanmu Xi’s belt neatly.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi blushed even more and had no idea what to say for the moment. She just grabbed Xuanyuan Mo’s hand, “Stop it. Phoenix Five and the others may come in anytime.” She remembered the scene when they saw her and Xuanyuan Mo making out. It was too embarrassing.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo took Duanmu Xi’s hand to his lips and kissed it, saying with a sinister smile, “Rest assured. Given what happened just now, they won’t barge in again.”

Facing Xuanyuan Mo’s cheekiness, Duanmu Xi could only look away resignedly and said with a flushing face, “Be careful not to hurt the babies!”

Xuanyuan Mo’s amber eyes suddenly darkened, “No worries. I’ll be very gentle!” Then, Xuanyuan Mo directly bent to kiss Duanmu Xi on her lips gently and passionately. Duanmu Xi had no time to think wildly at all.

The curtains rolled down and concealed what they were doing in the room.

They stayed in the room for three days. Phoenix Five wanted to knock on the door several times but still, she didn’t do it.

In the yard, Phoenix Five was pacing anxiously nonstop.

Phoenix Fourteen next to the stone table looked at Phoenix Five pacing back and forth, saying resignedly, “Five, can you stop it? You’re making me dizzy.”

Phoenix Thirteen aside said with a frown too, “Five, come and sit for a while!”

Phoenix Five took a look at the room with worry before turning to sit on the stone bench.

Phoenix Fourteen stared at Phoenix Five’s worried face and said with a frown, “Five, what on earth are you worried about?”

Phoenix Five slightly blushed and glimpsed Long Yue and the others secretly, but she didn’t answer Phoenix Fourteen’s question.

Phoenix Thirteen looked at Phoenix Five’s worried face and then said, “Don’t be too worried. His Highness has a sense of propriety.” With that, Phoenix Thirteen picked up the teapot and poured tea for Phoenix Five.

Hearing that, Phoenix Five took a glance at the closed door with worry again and said, “How can I not worry? They have been in there for three days.” If His Highness and Her Highness were so fond of each other in the past, she would be delighted. However, now Her Highness was pregnant. If they did it too excessively and hurt the babies, it would be really bad.

Phoenix Thirteen passed the tea over and said with a smile, “You must believe in Her Highness and His Highness.” She didn’t spend much time with His Highness, but it could tell that he was a discreet man. He wouldn’t hurt his babies for desire.

Phoenix Five heaved a sigh and said, “I hope so!” If only she had overthought it.

Phoenix Fourteen blinked her big eyes. Staring at them talking, she didn’t understand what they meant. She was about to ask when she saw Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo walking out of the room.

Upon getting out of the room, Duanmu Xi heard Phoenix Five and Phoenix Thirteen talking. She felt so bashful that the flush spread from her face to her ears. She hung her head and pinched Xuanyuan Mo’s waist heavily. This was so awkward.

As he saw Duanmu Xi’s bashful appearance, a shimmer of a smile crossed Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes. He grabbed her hand and held it to his hand.

“Ahem… Ahem…” Xuanyuan Mo put his fist at his lips and cleared his throat while holding Duanmu Xi’s hand.

Hearing that sound, everybody looked at the door.

When they saw Xuanyuan Mo and Duanmu Xi, they all went forward and bowed, “Greetings, Your Highnesses.”

Xuanyuan Mo glanced at them and then said with a grim expression, “Why are you all standing here? Just dismiss!”

Everyone was slightly dazed to hear that and then disappeared in front of them.

After they all left, Xuanyuan Mo lowered his head and whispered to Duanmu Xi’s ear teasingly, “Don’t be afraid. I’ve expelled them all.”

Hearing Xuanyuan Mo’s teasing voice, Duanmu Xi flushed so much that her ears turned red. She gazed at Xuanyuan Mo bashfully, “Stop it. It’s all your fault.” With that, Duanmu Xi raised her fist and struck it at Xuanyuan Mo’s chest.

Seeing the scene, Xuanyuan Mo immediately caught Duanmu Xi’s punch and said with a prim face, “Don’t hit me. If your hand hurts, my heart will hurt too.” After saying that, Xuanyuan Mo kissed her on her hand as if her hand really hurt.

Xuanyuan Mo’s cheekiness made Duanmu Xi blush again.

Duanmu Xi withdrew her hand and stared at Xuanyuan Mo, “Can you be serious?” She had been used to his aloof appearance, but now she was really not used to him being so glib.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo blinked his eyes innocently, “I’m serious. It’s the most serious thing for me to show my affection for you!”

“You…” Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Mo’s innocent face and had no idea what to say.

While they were flirting, the elder in white took several elders into the yard.

Upon seeing the several elders, Duanmu Xi subconsciously looked at Xuanyuan Mo only to see that he had put on an aloof look again. Duanmu Xi’s eyes glistened with depression.

Upon seeing Duanmu Xi, the elders all went forward to greet her, “Greetings, Sacred Maiden.”

Seeing the scene, Duanmu Xi immediately raised her hand, “Please drop the formalities.”

The elders finally got up.

Duanmu Xi looked at the several elders and said with a frown, “You don’t have to greet me in this way when you see me next time.” Actually, she had long wanted to say that. Every time she saw these elders who were older than her masters, she felt really bad even though they bowed to her with clasped hands.

The elders looked at each other and didn’t understand what Duanmu Xi meant.

Hearing that, the elder in white went forward and bowed, “Rules are rules.”

Duanmu Xi looked at the elder in white and said, “Since you acknowledge me as the sacred maiden, what I’m saying is the rule.”

The elder in white was slightly dazed to hear that and then slightly said with a bow, “Yes, we should listen to you for everything.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi nodded with satisfaction, “I wonder what brought you here today.”

The elder in white took a glance at Xuanyuan Mo before his eyes dropped, “Of course we’re here for the sacred realm. What’s your decision, Sacred Maiden?”

Xuanyuan Mo was still poker-faced as if he hadn’t heard what the elder in white said.

Duanmu Xi’s dark purple eyes flickered, “We’ll talk about it later!” Since Snow didn’t want her to go, she would put it aside for now and talk about it in the future!

Xuanyuan Mo heard Duanmu Xi’s answer and his composed eyes flickered.

Upon hearing that, the elder in white frowned, “But if you don’t pass the test of the sacred realm, the succession ceremony can’t be held then!” She couldn’t be the sacred maiden and gain the acknowledgment and worship of the people in the Holy Wilderness Region without passing the tests of the divine stone and the sacred realm.

Duanmu Xi also furrowed her brows. This was a problem indeed. The succession ceremony couldn’t be stalled all the time. She couldn’t stay here forever. She still wanted to go back to the Zhuque Empire and meet her parents.

While they were pondering with a frown, Xuanyuan Mo walked to Duanmu Xi and held her shoulders, “I’ll go into the sacred realm with you.”

Duanmu Xi looked in delight at Xuanyuan Mo. Did Snow agree now?

Hearing that, the elder in white frowned abruptly. The other elders immediately fell into an uproar.

“How can it be?”

“How can an outsider get into the sacred realm?”

“Exactly. Even though he’s the sacred maiden’s husband, he can’t go in there!”

…

Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo heard the several elders discussing anxiously and frowned together.

Duanmu Xi turned to the elder in white, “Chief Elder, what do you think?”

The elder in white’s eyes flickered and he said with a slight bow, “It’s all up to you!”

Duanmu Xi was slightly dumbstruck to hear that. Obviously, she didn’t expect that the elder in white would agree so neatly.

Xuanyuan Mo also arched his brows in surprise.

“Chief…” The other elders all stared at the elder in white in shock. What was wrong with him? How could he agree? Did he forget that outsiders were not allowed to enter the sacred realm?

The elder in white seemed not to hear the elders’ exclaim and still stood there with his eyes dropping.

Duanmu Xi saw the reaction of the elder in white and smiled, “In this case, please go back and make preparations. We’ll go to the sacred realm tomorrow.”

The elder in white nodded and said, “OK. We’ll go back first. Tomorrow morning, we’ll take you and Mr. Xuanyuan to the sacred realm.” With that, the elder in white nodded at Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo before turning to walk out of the yard.

“Hey…”

“Chief…” The other elders all ran after him.

After the elders left, Duanmu Xi fell backward and leaned in Xuanyuan Mo’s arms, saying with her head raised, “Didn’t you disagree before? Why did you suddenly agree?”

Facing Duanmu Xi’s cute face, Xuanyuan Mo subconsciously curled his lips, “Well, I want to see what is so special about the place where you want to go.”

Hearing Xuanyuan Mo’s jealous words, Duanmu Xi smiled and turned to cup his handsome face and kiss him on the lips, “Snow, you’re the best!” She knew that he agreed simply because he didn’t want to make things difficult for her.

Xuanyuan Mo looked at Duanmu Xi’s face beaming with smiles and his eyes darkened. He directly carried her in his arms and went into the room.

Duanmu Xi was astonished by Xuanyuan Mo’s sudden action and thumped his shoulder gently, “Don’t… Don’t you want to…” They had just gotten out of the room.

Xuanyuan Mo didn’t answer Duanmu Xi’s question and directly carried her into the room.

The door was slammed shut. Shortly, Duanmu Xi’s shout came from inside the room, “Xuanyuan Mo, you asshole! Umm…”
