Chapter 32

In the Eastern Palace, Duanmu Xi looked at the several women in black in front of her with cold eyes.

“Phoenix Five?”

She only knew Phoenix Five among these women. They were probably her mother’s phoenix guards.

Faced with Duanmu Xi’s fierce look, Phoenix Five felt frightened. Yet, among these people, she was the most familiar with the crown princess so she could only brace herself to go forward.

“Your Highness, I’m sorry. We’re acting under the empress’s order. Please forgive us.”

Duanmu Xi frowned. Her mother was so…

“Piss off.”

She glanced at the several phoenix guards in front of her coldly. A grumpy look flashed across Duanmu Xi’s face.

If it were not because they didn’t mean harm, she wouldn’t be so patient with them.

The phoenix guards looked at each other and then shook their heads at Duanmu Xi.

“I’ll give you one more chance. Get out of my way.”

While ordering coldly, Duanmu Xi unleashed her coercion of a Spiritual Lord.

Feeling the coercion of a Spiritual Lord, Phoenix Five and the other phoenix guards goggled at Duanmu Xi in astonishment.

What was going on?

Was the coercion of a Spiritual Lord released by Her Highness the Crown Princess?

This was impossible. This couldn’t be happening. Her Highness the Crown Princess couldn’t learn martial arts at all, let alone cultivate spiritual power. How could she unleash the coercion of a Spiritual Lord?

As they still didn’t mean to move away, Duanmu Xi’s eyes got cold and she was about to exert her water spiritual power.

“Xi.”

“Snow.”

Seeing Xuanyuan Mo, Duanmu Xi immediately withdrew her spiritual power.

“I’ll take you away.”

Xuanyuan Mo held Duanmu Xi and flew out of the Eastern Palace.

The two of them were away for a long while. Yet, Phoenix Five and the other phoenix guards still didn’t come to their senses.

Long Xing and Long Chen hiding behind the red pillar were also so astonished.

“Long Xing, shall we go and bring Her Highness back?”

“You fool. Do we need to go after such a crown princess? Now, we should hurry to the Sparrow Slaying Platform to watch the duel instead.”

“You are right. Her Highness will rise to fame.”

She was a 12-year-old Spiritual Lord. There couldn’t be another one like her in the world.

…

When the joss was about to burn off, Xuanyuan Mo flew onto Sparrow Slaying Platform with Duanmu Xi.

When Duanmu Xi appeared, the audience who were no longer patient instantly got excited.

“It’s the crown princess. She has really arrived.”

“Look at the man. He is really stunningly handsome…”

“He is handsome indeed. Although he is not as good-looking as the royal consort, he is not inferior either.”

“Her Highness the Crown Princess is gorgeous too. They make a perfect couple.”

Duanmu Xue and the others just stood up in astonishment upon seeing the arrival of Duanmu Xi.

“What’s wrong? Why is Xi here? Why did Phoenix Two and the others fail to stop her?”

Duanmu Xue stared at Phoenix One anxiously.

“I don’t know,” Phoenix One immediately bowed and answered.

Several women in black also appeared around Duanmu Fei. They all half knelt on the ground, who seemed to have suffered some minor injuries.

“What’s wrong? Didn’t I ask you to stop the Crown Princess? Why does she still show up on Sparrow Slaying Platform?”

“We are incapable. Please forgive us.”

The women in black all lowered their heads with guilt.

“Mr. Xuanyuan is too capable. We cannot stop them at all.”

Duanmu Fei swung her sleeves at them fretfully, “Rubbish. Piss off.”

“Yes.”

“Xue, why did Mr. Xuanyuan do that? Is he going to get Xi killed?” Duanmu Fei walked to Duanmu Xue and complained in a low voice.

Duanmu Xue frowned and stared at Sparrow Slaying Platform with her purple eyes.

On Sparrow Slaying Platform, Duanmu Xi was still dressed in white but she looked a bit casual today. On the contrary, Xuanyuan Mo was dressed in black. They still looked like a perfect couple.

Seeing the two people suddenly show up, the man in red in another room on the second floor knitted his eyebrows. Who were the man and the woman? Why did he felt familiar with the man?

Xuanyuan Mo kissed Duanmu Xi on her forehead gently and then directly flew into the room without saying anything.

As Xuanyuan Mo didn’t even cast a glance at her from beginning to end, Duanmu Qing widened her eyes with anger but she couldn’t lose her temper. Hence, she could only vent her anger on Duanmu Xi.

“Your Highness the Crown Princess, you are finally here. I thought you were too frightened to come. Since you are here, let’s start then.”

“Whatever.”

She still answered casually, which angered Duanmu Qing even more. Duanmu Qing hated Duanmu Xi’s indifferent and casual style.

As the duel started, Duanmu Qing attacked Duanmu Xi with all her strength.

Duanmu Xi didn’t fight back but dodged from side to side with Gale Steps, making a fool of her.

The audience watched the duel with relish.

They thought Her Highness the Crown Princess must be incapable of warding off but it turned out that she could move swiftly and make Heiress of Princess Jing fail to hit her though she couldn’t do martial arts.

Duanmu Xue sitting in the room was clenching Huangfu Che’s hands nervously.

“Phoenix One, if you see Xi is in danger later, you must go and save her.”

Regardless, even if scolded by countless people, she must protect her daughter well.

Phoenix One nodded and stared at the two persons on Sparrow Slaying Platform.

She had a hunch that Her Highness the Crown Princess wouldn’t lose.

On Sparrow Slaying Platform, the two of them fought tens of rounds.

Duanmu Qing was fooled by Duanmu Xi in sweat. Hence, she shouted in exasperation, “Duanmu Xi, don’t hide away if you dare to. Be a woman. If you keep doing so, how can there be any result for the duel?”

Duanmu Xi sneered. Did Duanmu Qing want a result? Fine, she would have it.

Duanmu Xi arrived behind Duanmu Qing with Gale Steps and then struck a palm at the back of her heart.

She acted so fast that the audience couldn’t even see clearly how she did it. They could only see that Duanmu Qing vomited a mouthful of blood.

Holding her chest, Duanmu Qing quickly turned around and gazed at Duanmu Xi in shock.

“You… You have mysterious power? Why?”

Duanmu Xi’s mouth curved into a sneer and then she said in a voice that could only be heard by Duanmu Qing, “I must thank you for this. My dear cousin, if you didn’t tell me that the water spiritual fruit was in the Shangqi Forest, I would end my life as a total wreck.”

Water spiritual fruit? Was there really the water spiritual fruit in the Shangqi Forest?

Impossible. Impossible. She said that randomly. She was lying to the total wreck. There was no water spiritual fruit in the Shangqi Forest.

Seeing Duanmu Qing’s startled look, Duanmu Xi gave a bigger smile and then pretended to say sincerely, “Thank you, my cousin. I have not only repaired my meridians but also become a Water Spiritual Lord.”

A Water Spiritual Lord!

Duanmu Qing widened her eyes. This total wreck was three rankings higher than her. This was impossible. Absolutely not.

Duanmu Xi lifted the corners of her lips and continued blowing her mentally.

“By the way, I forgot to tell you one thing. That is, I’m an omni spiritual master now.”

An omni spiritual master?

Duanmu Qing was dumbfounded. How could that total wreck be an omni spiritual master? Duanmu Xi must be lying. She was definitely lying. Duanmu Qing couldn’t believe this. Not even a word.
