Chapter 212

A figure sneaked into Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo’s room in Xuelan House. He looked around the room with red eyes. In the end, his gaze settled on the teapot in the middle of the round table.

In the study of Prince Zhan’s mansion, Xuanyuan Mo was reviewing the official documents.

“Your Highness,” Yu Feng knocked on the door and said.

“Come in,” Xuanyuan Mo answered with his head still buried in the documents.

Hearing that, Yu Feng entered the study and saw Xuanyuan Mo buried in the documents. His eyes flashed a bit. He turned around and closed the door gently. Then, he walked to Xuanyuan Mo and said on his knees, “Greetings, Your Highness.”

“Get up.” Xuanyuan Mo took a casual glance at Yu Feng who was kneeling on the ground.

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Yu Feng rose and stood in front of the table respectfully, “Your Highness, Guo Zhengxiong and his people have taken action.”

Xuanyuan Mo knitted his eyebrows, his amber eyes full of coldness, “How about Xuanyuan She?”

Yu Feng instantly bowed and said, “Eldest Prince is engaged too.”

“Very good.” Xuanyuan Mo curled his lips with a glimmer of fierceness in his eyes, “Stick to the plan.”

“Yes,” Yu Feng immediately replied but he didn’t turn around and get out of the study. Instead, he still stood in front of the desk.

Xuanyuan Mo looked up at Yu Feng’s hesitant face and subconsciously bent his brows, “Is there anything else?”

Hearing Xuanyuan Mo’s question, Yu Feng took a deep breath and looked at Xuanyuan Mo, “Your Highness, it’s late. You’d better rest early. If Her Highness knows that you stay up late all the time, she’ll be worried.”

Hearing Yu Feng mention Duanmu Xi, Xuanyuan Mo hesitated, “Got it. You may get out!”

“Yes.” Yu Feng didn’t dare to stay. He immediately got out.

“If Her Highness knows you stay up late all the time, she’ll be worried.”

Xuanyuan Mo leaned against the back of the chair with fatigue and then looked at the roof. At the thought of what Yu Feng had said, he smiled.

Would she be worried about him? That heartless woman just left him behind and ran away. She even dared to drug him. He must punish her one day.

He got up, ignored the official documents and directly headed to Xuelan House.

Outside Xuelan House, that figure saw Xuanyuan Mo enter the room. His red eyes flashed. He turned around and left.

Upon entering the room, Xuanyuan Mo glanced at the daybed and the arhat bed as usual.

Staring at the empty room, Xuanyuan Mo looked sulky, his amber eyes darkening. Everything remained unchanged but his love was not here.

He walked to the table and lifted the teapot to pour a cup of tea for himself. However, upon touching the teapot, he felt the heat on his wrist. He felt as if being burned. Xuanyuan Mo subconsciously threw the teapot away.

With a bang, the teapot was thrown to the carpet on the ground.

Xuanyuan Mo grabbed his right wrist and knitted his eyebrows. What happened? The burning sensation had eased but he still felt burned.

He untied the wrist band, rolled up his sleeve and exposed a necklace. The purple crystal of the necklace was glistening with a strong purple light.

Gazing at the purple crystal, Xuanyuan Mo recalled the note his wife left.

“Snow, I’m sorry. I have to leave. Don’t worry about me. I’ll protect our babies. This necklace is given by my third master. The purple crystal is called Purple Hell Stone. It’s the bane of all worms. When you wear it, no worms can approach you. If there’s any worm nearby, it will give off a strong purple light. After I leave, you must wear it all the time. If you dare to forget me again, I must tear you into pieces after I come back.”

Duanmu Xi deliberately left the Purple Hell Stone for Xuanyuan Mo. This was to prevent Liqing from planting any worm in Xuanyuan Mo.

Xuanyuan Mo turned his head to look at the teapot thrown to the ground, his amber eyes narrowed threateningly. He bent down and tried to grab the teapot with his right hand. However, as he approached the teapot, he felt a more intense burning sensation on his wrist. The purple light given off by the Purple Hell Stone also became stronger.

At the thought of the last line of the note, Xuanyuan Mo showed a killing intent in his eyes. That damned woman intended to plant a worm in him again. She was dead meat.

He waved his right hand and smashed the teapot to pieces.

In the Northern Courtyard of Prince Zhan’s mansion.

Liqing was pacing back and forth in her room with perturbation.

Huai’er stared at Liqing pacing back and forth and felt a bit lightheaded. She pressed the middle of her brows, walked to the table and poured a cup of tea, “Please sit down and have a cup of tea. You should take a rest!”

Liqing stared at the tea on the table and shook her head. She was not in a mood to drink tea now.

Huai’er recognized that Liqing felt uneasy and then heaved a sigh inwardly, “Just rest assured. It must be able to work. You may as well sit down and wait for news.”

Liqing sat by the table and took a sip of the tea. A mouthful of tea eased her uneasiness. Actually, she was not only uneasy but also nervous and expectant. At the thought of the possibility that Xuanyuan Mo would fall in love with her, she felt nervous and excited.

With a bang, the door was kicked open. Liqing and Huai’er were both freaked out and looked out of the door at the same time.

They saw Xuanyuan Mo standing outside the door with a sulky face.

Liqing looked at Xuanyuan Mo in disbelief and tugged at Huai’er’s sleeve, “Is this a hallucination? Is it Xuanyuan Mo?”

“Yes.” Huai’er also stared at Xuanyuan Mo in shock. Then, she thought of something and her eyes sparkled. She whispered to Liqing, “Can it be that he made it?”

If it weren’t for the Love Worm, how could he come to Northern Courtyard at midnight?

Liqing was ecstatic to hear that and immediately said to Huai’er with excitement, “You mean… He… He…”

Liqing was speechless with excitement and suddenly thought of something. She stared at Huai’er and said anxiously, “Look at me. Is my hair messy? What about my clothes? Should I change my clothes?”

While sputtering, Liqing touched her hair and pulled the corner of her clothes.

Huai’er was a bit disdainful to see Liqing act with such excitement. The corner of her mouth twitched. She whispered to Liqing, “Calm down. Prince Zhan is still outside!”

“Oh right, calm down,” Liqing took a deep breath and muttered, “I must calm down. I must calm down.”

Xuanyuan Mo took a dismissive glance at the insane woman in the room, shouting grumpily, “Get the hell out of the room.”

His cold voice was mixed with unquenchable anger.

Huai’er was taken aback to hear Xuanyuan Mo’s angry voice and an idea flashed across her mind. She had a sense of foreboding.

Liqing didn’t think about anything. Upon hearing that Xuanyuan Mo asked her to get out, she immediately lifted her dress and got out.

“Hey, wait a minute…” When Huai’er came to her senses, Liqing had got out of the room. So, Huai’er had to follow out of the door.

“Mo… Are you here for me?” Liqing looked at Xuanyuan Mo with a bashful expression.

Xuanyuan Mo felt disgusted, his amber eyes full of aversion. He didn’t understand why there could be such a disgusting woman in the world.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Mo didn’t speak, Liqing took two steps forward. She looked at Xuanyuan Mo bashfully with a pair of coquettish eyes, “Mo, it’s cold outside. Please come inside!”

Then, Liqing wanted to hold Xuanyuan Mo’s hand.

Liqing’s action made Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes darken instantly. He even slid back for several meters. Liqing couldn’t even reach the corner of his clothes.

Liqing stared at her hand dully and then looked at Xuanyuan Mo’s aloof face with an aggrieved expression, “Mo…”

Xuanyuan Mo didn’t want to see Liqing’s disgusting face. He directly interrupted Liqing, “What worm did you put in the teapot?”

Liqing was stupefied to hear that. He figured out that she had tried to plant a worm in him.

Huai’er standing behind Liqing was also shocked. How could he know they wanted to plant a worm in him? Was that man’s Puppet Worm cleared? It was impossible. No one could clear the Puppet Worm except Region Master.

“I… I…” Liqing wanted to defend herself but she had no idea what to say.

As Liqing lost track of her words, Huai’er got anxious and felt that Liqing would cause big trouble.

Before Liqing continued talking, Huai’er knelt on the ground and looked down, “Your Highness, Sacred Maiden knows nothing about the teapot or plants any worm.”

Xuanyuan Mo cast a cold glance at Huai’er. With a flick of his sleeves, a rush of black mysterious Qi went at Huai’er’s face.

Huai’er felt a blast of powerful coercion was coming at her. She had been hit by the black mysterious Qi before she could make any reaction. She toppled back directly.

Staring at Huai’er who had been dead with her eyes wide open, Liqing swallowed hard. Her legs kept trembling.

“How dare you plant a worm in me again and again! You deserve to die!” His voice seemed to carry piercing coldness.

Liqing shivered and subconsciously refuted, “I didn’t. The Heartless Worm was not planted by me.”

Upon hearing Heartless Worm, Xuanyuan Mo had a heavy killing intent in his eyes, “If it was not you, who did it?”

A rush of strong coercion flooded toward Liqing. Liqing’s heart sank abruptly. She directly knelt on the ground. The coercion was a lot more powerful than that of Region Master.

Liqing stared at Xuanyuan Mo with a terrified look, “It was… It was Xiahou Shan. She planted the Heartless Worm in you. So, I killed her to take revenge for you.”

He still faintly remembered Xiahou Shan. He didn’t expect that the Heartless Worm was planted by her. Death was such a light consequence for her.

Staring at Liqing trembling on her knees, Xuanyuan Mo sneered, “Revenge? Should I thank you? For lying next to me naked and feigning pregnancy to frame me while I lost my memory?”

“I didn’t.” Liqing looked down in a fluster, “I’m really pregnant. It’s true.”

After saying that, Liqing looked at Xuanyuan Mo with an expectant expression.

Listening to Liqing’s lies, Xuanyuan Mo was enraged, “How dare you still lie? Do you really think I’ve lost my memory?”
