Chapter 275

The others all looked at Xuanyuan Mo in confusion.

Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Mo’s grim face, her eyes flickering. She understood what he was thinking but they couldn’t always do things as they wanted.

The elder in white looked at Xuanyuan Mo and turned to Duanmu Xi. Clearly, he wanted to hear Duanmu Xi’s own decision.

Xuanyuan Mo saw that the elder in white looked at Duanmu Xi again, his eyes flickering fiercely. He directly went forward to carry Duanmu Xi and walked outside. Without struggle, Duanmu Xi stayed in Xuanyuan Mo’s arms meekly.

The elder in white looked at them leaving, his dark eyes flickering.

Second Elder looked at Xuanyuan Mo and Duanmu Xi leaving and frowned. He walked to the elder in white and said in a low voice, “Now that the sacred maiden doesn’t want to go to the sacred realm, what should we do then?”

Hearing that, the elder in white slightly narrowed his eyes and said lightly, “She will go!” He wouldn’t be wrong with her. She wouldn’t go back on her word or give up easily.

Having returned to their room, Xuanyuan Mo didn’t put Duanmu Xi down but carried her onto the bed.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Mo stayed quiet all the time, Duanmu Xi called with ease, “Snow, umm…” Duanmu Xi’s breath was seized by Xuanyuan Mo when she tried to speak.

Xuanyuan Mo pressed Duanmu Xi against the bed and kissed her anxiously. It seemed that only by doing this could it prove that she was with him now.

He kissed Duanmu Xi’s lips passionately, which burned her lips and heart.

Feeling Xuanyuan Mo’s uneasiness, Duanmu Xi felt pity for him and put her arms around his neck to kiss him back with the same passion.

Feeling that Duanmu Xi was responding passionately, Xuanyuan Mo was slightly stunned. Then, he kissed her more affectionately and wildly as if to swallow her.

As they smooched passionately, the atmosphere in the room became more affectionate. In the end, things just got out of control.

After a while, Xuanyuan Mo let go of Duanmu Xi reluctantly and gently held her into his arms. He said nothing and just hugged her quietly.

Duanmu Xi also stayed in Xuanyuan Mo’s arms with a slightly red face, enjoying the precious tranquility.

After a silence, Xuanyuan Mo finally said, “You wanna go!” He used an affirmative tone rather than asking her a question. His voice was a bit cold as if the passion and wildness had been completely gone now.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi took a deep breath and gazed at Xuanyuan Mo, saying with certainty, “I wanna go.” She knew that Snow knew her well. Even if she didn’t voice it out, he also knew she wanted to go to the sacred realm.

Looking at Duanmu Xi’s determined eyes, Xuanyuan Mo subconsciously frowned, “Why?” His voice was a bit colder than before.

Feeling Xuanyuan Mo’s coldness, Duanmu Xi leaned against Xuanyuan Mo’s arms and put her arms around him as if she was trying to melt his coldness with her temperature.

Facts proved that Duanmu Xi’s action worked. The moment she got into Xuanyuan Mo’s arms, Xuanyuan Mo instantly softened.

In Xuanyuan Mo’s arms, Duanmu Xi didn’t say gently until he totally softened, “Back then, to save Third Master, I promised to be the sacred maiden of the Wilderness Holy Region. How can I go back on my word now?” Now that her third master had been rescued, if they wanted to leave, the elders couldn’t stop them anyway. However, Duanmu Xi just couldn’t break her promise.

Instantly, Xuanyuan Mo’s amber eyes flickered. He didn’t reply but listened quietly.

“Besides, I also want to go into the sacred realm.” As she had been into the divine stone, she was interested in the sacred realm.

With that, Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Mo and said seriously, “I know you’re worried about me, but rest assured. I’ll take good care of myself.”

Faced with Duanmu Xi’s serious expression, Xuanyuan Mo fell into panic again and clenched Duanmu Xi into his arms. He only wanted her to stay with him quietly like this and stay within his reach. He didn’t want to watch her sucked into the divine stone again helplessly. The sense of deep powerlessness almost drove him nuts.

Feeling Xuanyuan Mo’s uneasiness, Duanmu Xi felt sorry for him. Well, she had better talk about the sacred realm later.

Duanmu Xi stayed quietly in Xuanyuan Mo’s arms, motionless.

A while later, Duanmu Xi seemed to think of something and suddenly looked up at Xuanyuan Mo, “How is Liqing now?” She didn’t care about that woman before. This time, she had seen the prelife of herself and Snow in the divine stone. Now, she suddenly thought of Liqing. In her previous life, she died because of Liqing. In the past, she might have let her go. However, now, she would never let go of that woman who got the Heavenly Emperor and Zichun to die before.

Xuanyuan Mo was dumbstruck to hear that and looked at Duanmu Xi, asking with a frown, “Why did you suddenly ask about her?”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi hedged and said with a pout, “Just tell me. How is she doing now? Is she still in the prince’s mansion? Did you…” Something seemed to occur to Duanmu Xi and then she suddenly struck her fist at Xuanyuan Mo’s chest.

Seeing the scene, Xuanyuan Mo immediately caught Duanmu Xi’s fist and looked at her jealous face. A shimmer of a smile crossed his eyes.

As Xuanyuan Mo didn’t speak or explain, Duanmu Xi’s eyes were instantly suffused with tears, “Did… Did you and she…”

Thinking that Snow might have slept with that woman, Duanmu Xi felt more and more bitter. More tears appeared in her eyes and were about to drop.

Staring at Duanmu Xi’s sad face, Xuanyuan Mo felt a gut-wrenching pain and hastened to explain, “What are you thinking? How can there be anything going on between me and her? She’s dead. I killed her!” To stop Duanmu Xi from having wild thoughts, Xuanyuan Mo directly answered her question.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi was slightly dazed and then blinked her eyes. A tear dropped from the corner of her eye, “She is dead?”

“Yeah!” Looking at Duanmu Xi’s dumbfounded appearance, Xuanyuan Mo smiled and bent to kiss away the tear from the corner of her eye. “She wanted to implant another worm in me. Thanks to your Purple Hell Stone, I found it out. Then, I killed her.” That woman deserved to die. Since she intended to implant another worm in him, she just had to pay the price.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi slightly frowned. Liqing was dead. She had thought of many answers but never conjured such an answer. Perhaps because she had witnessed what happened in the previous life, she felt that Liqing was an antagonist. She didn’t expect that Liqing would die so easily.

Ridiculously, whether in the previous life or this life, that woman just came between her and Snow. It was just no matter what she did, Snow had never fallen for her. However, whether in the previous life or this life, she was killed by Snow in the end. Maybe it was a kind of happiness to be killed by the man she loved!

“Then, Lishang…” Speaking of Liqing, Duanmu Xi thought of Lishang, Liqing’s brother. Although they were brother and sister, Lishang was completely different from Liqing. Lishang was an honest man of integrity and treated Snow loyally. He was a nice man. His sister was killed by his master. He must be sad!

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo took a deep breath and held Duanmu Xi in his arms, “He may be somewhat unhappy about it, but time is the cure for all illnesses and pain.”

Duanmu Xi leaned against Xuanyuan Mo’s arms and gently rubbed herself against him. She hoped so, but since Lishang could come here with Snow, he shouldn’t be too unhappy about Liqing’s death!

Duanmu Xi took off the Purple Hell Stone from her neck and scrutinized it. It turned out that the Purple Hell Stone was the token of love of the Heavenly Emperor and his wife. “Just as well I left it to you. Otherwise, Liqing might have got her way.”

Xuanyuan Mo curled his lips and looked at Duanmu Xi with a faint smile, “If she really got her way, what would you do?”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi arched her brows and said bluntly, “I would directly divorce you.”

Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes twitched. His wife was such a jealous woman. Fortunately, he didn’t let that woman get her way. Otherwise, he would have been expelled.

Staring at Xuanyuan Mo’s strange expression, Duanmu Xi narrowed her pretty eyes maliciously, “What? Any problems?”

Xuanyuan Mo immediately shook his head and said, “No, no, I have no problems. Whatever you say is right!” How could he dare to have any problems? He found that his wife’s temper had grown a lot since she got pregnant. He had learned from the imperial doctors that pregnant women tended to have emotional swings, so he had better not piss her off.

“That’s more like it.” Duanmu Xi pinched Xuanyuan Mo’s chin and smiled sinisterly, “Remember this, you’re mine. You must keep your body clean for me. If you’re stained by a woman one day, I’ll give up on you.”

She couldn’t accept her man being with another woman. Even if it was Snow, she couldn’t accept him having a thing with another woman.

Xuanyuan Mo slightly curled his lips and whispered to Duanmu Xi’s ear with a sinister face, “Why did it sound so familiar?”

With that, Xuanyuan Mo took a tumble and said, “Oh, I remember. What you said just now is exactly what you told me at our first meeting. Turns out you’ve fallen for me since then.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi blushed at once, “What… What did you say? I don’t get it.” She just made a joke randomly at that time and didn’t expect she would be badgered by him. Now, he was mocking her.

Staring at Duanmu Xi’s bashful face, Xuanyuan Mo cracked a bigger smile and then whispered to her ear again, “Rest assured. I’m clean. I’ve kept myself clean for you all the time. If you don’t believe it, you can give it a try.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi swallowed with difficulty. How could she give it a try? Did Snow want to…
