Chapter 251

In the Sacred Maiden’s Palace.

“How is it? Can Third Master’s injuries be cured?” Looking at Situ Kong who frowned, Duanmu Xi felt a bit worried.

Situ Kong took a glance at Mei Luo and wanted to speak but stopped on second thought.

Mei Luo saw the scene, her eyes slightly flickering. She cracked a relaxed smile, “What? Do I look very fragile?” There was nothing she couldn’t undertake now!

Situ Kong was slightly dazed to hear and then a glimmer of appreciation crossed his eyes. This woman was no ordinary woman.

“The wounds on her face are not an issue. These cuts look scary but actually, they’re superficial wounds. They’re not serious. The other day, I happened to prescribe the medicine to cure Thirteen’s face. It can be used with a little adjustment. There shouldn’t be any problem.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi nodded. Since Thirteen was well recovered, the wounds on Duanmu Xi’s third master’s face would be curable too. Although her third master might not care about the wounds on her face, thinking of the fact that her third master’s beautiful face became so badly mutilated, she felt a grave heartache.

“But,” Situ Kong looked at Mei Luo’s arms and legs with a grim face, “The wounds on her arms and legs are very serious. Her hamstrings are totally cut off. Her ankles are also crushed and stung by thorns. The bones of her feet are already exposed to the air. The wounds on her wrists don’t look good. Her hand joints are not fully broken, but they are also seriously injured. I can only give it a shot. I can’t guarantee they can be fully cured.”

Hearing that, Mei Luo became frustrated. Duanmu Xi also put on a stern look. Although she knew her third master was seriously injured, she didn’t expect even her chief master couldn’t cure her third master.

As the atmosphere was a bit grim, Situ Kong said gently, “Don’t be too pessimistic. I’ll do my best regardless.” He would try his best to cure her. If the worst came to the worst, Mo could be the last resort. Since he could cure the impaired mental strength, he should be able to cure these injuries.

Hearing that, Mei Luo resumed an aloof look and then stared at Situ Kong, saying with a smile, “Thank you, Elder Situ.”

Hearing that, Situ Kong nodded with his eyes flickering, “Have a good rest. I’ll prescribe some medicine for you.” After saying that, Situ Kong turned around and got out of the room.

Duanmu Xi sat by the bedside and lifted Mei Luo’s feet gently. She stroked Mei Luo’s feet as if to soothe all her leg injuries.

Feeling Duanmu Xi’s uneasiness, Mei Luo touched the top of her head, “I’ll be fine. We must believe your chief master.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi looked at Mei Luo and didn’t find any uneasiness or fear in her eyes but firmness and trust. Duanmu Xi slightly curled her lips and nodded, “Yes, we must trust Chief Master.” Her chief master could be the best doctor on the Hantian Continent. She should believe that he could cure her third master.

In the hot spring of the Sacred Maiden’s Palace at night.

Duanmu Xi lay by the edge of the hot spring, lost in deep thought.

Suddenly, a peal of footsteps came and startled Duanmu Xi. She immediately grabbed the clothes by the bank to cover her body, shouting, “Who’s that? Is it Ya’er?”

“It’s me,” Xuanyuan Mo immediately answered upon hearing Duanmu Xi’s somewhat flurried voice.

“Snow!” Upon seeing Xuanyuan Mo, Duanmu Xi instantly became relaxed. She picked up the clothes and threw them at Xuanyuan Mo, saying angrily, “Why didn’t you make a sound? I was freaked out.”

Xuanyuan Mo seized the clothes thrown over by Duanmu Xi, but his eyes were fixed on Duanmu Xi’s breasts.

Feeling Xuanyuan Mo’s fervent eyes, Duanmu Xi instantly composed herself and immediately sat in the water. She turned around and had her back facing Xuanyuan Mo, saying bashfully and angrily, “I… I haven’t finished bathing yet. You get out.”

Looking at Duanmu Xi’s bashful face, Xuanyuan Mo was turned on and paid no heed to Duanmu Xi’s words. He took off all his clothes and then walked into the water gently.

“Why… Why do you get into the water too? Go up there.” Seeing that Xuanyuan Mo got into the water, Duanmu Xi blushed even more and looked around. Yet, she just didn’t dare to look at Xuanyuan Mo’s naked body.

Aroused by Duanmu Xi’s bashful appearance, Xuanyuan Mo dragged Duanmu Xi over.

“You…” Freaked out by Xuanyuan Mo’s sudden action, Duanmu Xi almost fell and held his arm tightly with both hands.

Duanmu Xi’s subconscious actions made Xuanyuan Mo’s mind go blank. Currently, he could think of nothing but her breasts.

Seeing Xuanyuan Mo’s dumbfounded face, Duanmu Xi finally realized how flirtatious and inappropriate her action was.

Duanmu Xi didn’t dare to think much. She immediately loosened her grip on Xuanyuan Mo’s arm. Yet, since Xuanyuan Mo was turned on, how could he let go of her easily?

Xuanyuan Mo directly held Duanmu Xi into his arms. Then, without hesitation, he directly kissed Duanmu Xi on the red lips.

Duanmu Xi widened her eyes to look at Xuanyuan Mo who was passionately immersed in kissing, her face blushing.

Xuanyuan Mo seemed to feel Duanmu Xi was distracted, so he bit Duanmu Xi’s lips gently.

Feeling the stinging pain on her lips, Duanmu Xi had a smile crossing her eyes. She slowly closed her eyes and put her arms around Xuanyuan Mo’s neck to respond to him slowly.

As their kiss grew hotter, they breathed more heavily. Even the water also seemed to be heated by their temperature and become hot.

After a kiss, Xuanyuan Mo bit Duanmu Xi’s delicate earlobes, “May I?” His cold voice became hoarse and captivating now, which bewitched Duanmu Xi.

The numbness on her earlobes made Duanmu Xi tremble a bit. She didn’t answer or open her eyes. Duanmu Xi held Xuanyuan Mo’s neck tightly and clung to Xuanyuan Mo. She answered him with her action.

Having taken the hint, Xuanyuan Mo kissed Duanmu Xi again and held Duanmu Xi up.

Duanmu Xi twined her legs around Xuanyuan Mo’s waist and felt Xuanyuan Mo’s passion with her eyes closed.

Xuanyuan Mo let go of Duanmu Xi’s slightly swollen red lips gently. Then, he moved his lips down bit by bit and kissed her body delicately.

The swaying water witnessed their passion they had after being parted for a while.

A while later, Xuanyuan Mo finally carried the asleep Duanmu Xi out of the hot spring gently.

At midnight, a figure suddenly appeared in a maid’s room of the Wilderness Holy Hall.

Feeling the fluctuation of air in the room, Ying’er on the bed suddenly opened her eyes. Upon seeing the comer, Ying’er instantly got off the bed and knelt in front of the figure, “Greetings, Your Highness.”

The comer was Zhou Manyun, who fled from the Baihu Empire.

Zhou Manyun looked at Ying’er kneeling on the ground, her coquettish eyes flickering, “What’s wrong with Hao? Why isn’t he in the Xinghe Hall?”

Hearing that, Ying’er immediately hung her head and said respectfully, “Region Master has been locked in the secret chamber by them.”

Hearing that, Zhou Manyun was a bit surprised, “Who was that? Who dared to hurt Hao?” Someone still dared to lock Hao in the secret chamber in the Wilderness Holy Region. Was it…

Zhou Manyun had just thought of something when Ying’er said, “The eight elders.”

Zhou Manyun had guessed the answer but upon hearing Ying’er say the eight elders, she was still astonished. Those old guys had gotten out of their training. What on earth happened to make the eight elders get out of their training?

“Tell me in detail what has happened in the Wilderness Holy Region.” Something must have happened. Otherwise, even if the eight elders got out of their training, they wouldn’t lock Hao up for no reason.

Hearing that, Ying’er immediately told Zhou Manyun in detail what had happened recently.

Zhou Manyun heard Xuanyuan Hao use Mei Luo to force Duanmu Xi to marry her. Then, Duanmu Xi turned to the eight elders for help. They not only rescued Mei Luo but also locked Hao in the secret chamber. She couldn’t help cursing that Xuanyuan Hao was useless. She knew that Duanmu Xi was a scourge. If he couldn’t get her, he should have ruined her, but he just didn’t listen.

“What else happened besides that?”

Ying’er pondered for a while with a frown and then said, “Xuanyuan Mo has come to the Wilderness Holy Region. Now he should be in the Wilderness Holy Region.”

Hearing that, Zhou Manyun arched her eyebrows. She had long guessed it. How could Xuanyuan Mo be reassured that the woman stayed in Hao’s place?

Ying’er stared at Zhou Manyun, her dark eyes flickering, “There’s one more thing. I’m not sure of it.”

Hearing that, Zhou Manyun arched her eyebrows, “Say it.”

“The eight elders seem to have the intention of making Duanmu Xi the next sacred maiden. Now, she has lived in the Sacred Maiden’s Palace.” Hearing that, Ying’er immediately said the news she had heard of.

Hearing that, Zhou Manyun was deeply jealous. The eight elders wanted to make Duanmu Xi the next sacred maiden. On what ground could Duanmu Xi be the sacred maiden? Mu Wan was fine. At least, Mu Wan was the daughter of the late sacred maiden and a local of the Wilderness Holy Region. Why could Duanmu Xi be the sacred maiden? How could an outsider lead the Wilderness Holy Region?

Seeing Zhou Manyun’s fierce expression, Ying’er was startled and hung her eyelids, saying respectfully, “No worries. I’m not sure about this news. The eight elders haven’t announced it publicly. Besides, even if the eight elders really want Duanmu Xi to be the sacred maiden, Duanmu Xi may not be able to pass the test of the divine stone and sacred realm.” It was not easy to be the sacred maiden of the Wilderness Holy Region. If she couldn’t pass the test of the divine stone and sacred realm, it would be of no use even if the eight elders acknowledged her.

Hearing the words “divine stone”, Zhou Manyun looked grimmer. Back then, she didn’t pass the test of the divine stone. So, she didn’t get to enter the sacred realm.

“Leave Duanmu Xi’s matter alone. Let’s find a way to rescue Hao for now.” After all, she didn’t pass the test of the divine stone. She didn’t believe Duanmu Xi could pass it.

“Yes,” Ying’er immediately replied respectfully.
