Phoenix Five felt her heart aching and her eyes slightly flickered. Her eyes clouded with tears instantly. She took a deep breath and blinked her eyes to conceal her feelings. Gently, she put down the basin and walked to the bedside, saying respectfully, “Your Highness, I’ve fetched the water for you. You may wash up now.”

Duanmu Xi didn’t raise her head but said in a low voice, “You get out first.”

Her voice was cold as usual. It was hard to tell her feelings.

“Yes.” Hearing that, Phoenix Five immediately bowed herself out of the room.

Upon hearing that the door was closed, Duanmu Xi raised her head slowly. Her eyes were a bit red and her face was covered with traces of tears.

She got up slowly, got dressed quietly and washed up, still thinking about the spiritual power that had disappeared. Her spiritual power couldn’t be gone without a reason. Something must have happened!

She suddenly recalled that night in the cave, when they were done, she felt a blast of power rush into her body. Back then, she couldn’t bear that power so she passed out directly.

She thought she passed out only because it was the first time that she had had intercourse and she couldn’t stand it. Now, as it appeared, it should have something to do with the strong power. And the sudden disappearance of her spiritual power was likely to be attributed to the strong power.

That cryptical power was undoubtedly from Snow. It was a pity that Snow had forgotten her. Otherwise, she could go and ask him about it. Maybe he had a way to recover her spiritual power.

At the thought of Xuanyuan Mo, Duanmu Xi felt sad again.

A tender female voice sounded in her mind.

“Mistress, don’t be too sad. It’s bad for your health.”

It was Zimei. She did forget her contracted mythical creatures. She just wondered whether Lanze and the other mythical creatures would be reduced to level zero again since her spiritual power was gone.

Her dark purple eyes glittered with worry and self-condemnation.

“Mistress, don’t worry about us. We are fine. Our levels remain unchanged.” It was Lanze’s voice.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi loosened her frown. Luckily, their levels were not reduced to zero. Otherwise, she would feel really sorry for them.

“Mistress, rest assured. Your spiritual power is not gone so our levels are not affected.” It was Hongling who talked this time.

“Since it is not gone, why can’t I feel the spiritual power in my body? Neither can I use the spiritual magic,” Duanmu Xi frowned and asked in confusion.

“Hongling is right. Your spiritual power doesn’t disappear. Just like your mysterious Qi, it has been sealed.” Qingfeng’s gentle voice came.

It had been sealed. Duanmu Xi knitted her eyebrows again. Last time her gate of Qi was stabbed, which caused her mysterious Qi to be sealed. This time, her spiritual power was sealed.

“Is it Snow’s cryptical power that seals the spiritual power in my body?” She had guessed the reason but she still wanted to ask about it.

“Yes.” Actually, her spiritual power being sealed was the lightest consequence of their intercourse. The beast god’s power of pure Yang was not bearable for an ordinary woman like her. If her body were not of pure extreme Yin, she would have long been dead.

“It is really attributed to the cryptical power. Is there any way to break the seal?” She had lost her mysterious Qi before. If she had her spiritual power sealed, she would really become a total wreck. Besides, she was going to marry into Prince Zhan’s mansion soon. Hence, she must have the ability to protect herself.

“Who starts the trouble should end it.” If she wanted to break the seal, of course she must turn to the beast god for help. As long as the beast god could regulate the power circulation during their intercourse, the power of pure Yang wouldn’t do any harm to Duanmu Xi. Instead, it could greatly elevate her cultivation level and even recover her mysterious Qi.

Hearing the reply, Duanmu Xi blushed. She understood what Qingfeng meant. However… It seemed that she must find a way to make Snow recover his memory.

Her dark purple eyes glittered with determination.

“You must be careful these days. Although we are not reduced to level zero, we still cannot leave your mental space because your spiritual power is sealed. Therefore, these days, you must sheerly rely on yourself.” The tender voice came again.

When Duanmu Xi heard that, her eyes glistened with pride. Even though she became a total wreck again, she was not a pushover.

“Your Highness, Mr. Xuanyuan has sent the betrothal presents here.” This time, Phoenix Five only reported in a low voice outside the room instead of entering the room.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi opened the room and got out. When she saw the massive betrothal presents, she was still expressionless and indifferent.

Upon seeing Duanmu Xi come out, Lishang immediately went forward and said respectfully, “Greetings, Your Highness Princess Consort, I’m under the orders of His Highness to send the betrothal presents here. Here is the list. Please take a look.”

Then, Lishang took out the list of presents from his arms and passed it over.

Duanmu Xi took the list and cast a casual glance at the countless treasures on it. A shimmer of depression flashed across her dark purple eyes. He still didn’t understand these were never what she wanted.

“Go back and tell him that I’ve accepted the betrothal presents.”

Lishang immediately replied with a bow, “Yes.”

In the Wolf King’s Palace in the Wannian Snow Mountain.

Sir Snow looked at this familiar and strange grandson in front, asking in a trembling voice, “Mo, is your seal broken?”

Staring at the excited Sir Snow, Xuanyuan Mo looked softer. After all, this was the family who had treated him nicely since he was a kid in this life. He couldn’t be aloof and indifferent to this old man.

“Yes.”

“Great. Great…” Sir Snow said with an excited look, his eyes glistening with tears.

Mo’s seal was finally broken. He didn’t have to suffer the pain of transformation on full-moon nights anymore. Besides, the potent power of the beast god could also make him reach the peak of the Hantian Continent. Such being the case, Sir Snow could rest assured and also face his daughter when he died.

“Was it Liqing who broke it for you? You must be nice to her in the future. Don’t let her down.”

Since Mo left the snowy mountain, Liqing also disappeared. This time, Liqing had done them a big favor. He must thank her on his own if possible.

Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes slightly glittered. He said, “I’m getting married.”

Hearing that, Sir Snow was delighted and said without thinking, “With Liqing?”

Expressionless, Xuanyuan Mo answered briefly, “With Crown Princess of Zhuque.”

Crown Princess of Zhuque? Sir Snow was slightly taken aback. Mo was not marrying Liqing? Was it not Liqing who broke Mo’s seal?

Fine. It didn’t matter. As long as Mo was willing to get married, it was a great delight then.

“When are you getting married?”

He didn’t expect that Mo would really get married one day. Mo was always indifferent to women before. He thought his grandson was going to be a bachelor for his whole life. Surprisingly, Mo was about to marry soon. Time did fleet.

“In two days,” he still answered briefly.

Staring at the cold grandson, Sir Snow couldn’t help bantering him, “In two days? Is Crown Princess of Zhuque really so good to make you so hasty?”

Mo must like Crown Princess of Zhuque. He knew his grandson well. If Mo disliked her, he wouldn’t marry her.

Stared at by Sir Snow mischievously, Xuanyuan Mo slightly blushed, “She is a good woman.”

Sir Snow’s green eyes slightly glinted with tears. Mo had grown up. He had his own love. This was so lovely.

“Will you attend my wedding?”

Hearing that, Sir Snow clearly stiffened and a shimmer of fierceness flashed across his eyes. He looked down a bit and concealed his feelings, staring at Xuanyuan Mo and saying lovingly, “I’m old. I don’t want to go down the snowy mountain. You can take her back here when you are free later.”

Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes slightly flickered. He looked at Sir Snow and said seriously, “I will. I’ll take her to visit you when I have time.”

He knew that because of his mother, his grandfather didn’t want to see his father. Hence, he wouldn’t force his grandfather then.

These two days, the whole Baihu Empire was permeated with joy because Prince Zhan and Crown Princess of Zhuque were getting married. Everyone had heard Prince Zhan’s rumors but it didn’t affect their delight. If Crown Princess of Zhuque married into the Baihu Empire, Baihu might be able to unify the four empires. How could they not be happy and excited?

In the imperial palace of the Baihu Empire.

Staring at various kinds of phoenix coronets and robes of rank as well as jewelry sets delivered by the palace maids, Duanmu Xi was not spirited at all. She waved her hand and said, “Just let Prince Zhan decide these trivial things.”

Hearing that, the palace maids all looked at each other in perplexity. His Highness specially told them to ask about the preferences of Crown Princess of Zhuque. Now, Crown Princess of Zhuque said these things were up to His Highness. They were clearly put into a pickle then!

Looking at the palace maids in a pickle, Phoenix Five went forward and said to them, “Leave first. The wedding will be held tomorrow. No rush.”

The palace maids were even more vexed to hear that. It was because the wedding would be held tomorrow that Crown Princess of Zhuque needed to pick the wedding dress and accessories in such a hurry. If Crown Princess of Zhuque was not satisfied or the size didn’t fit, they still could have time for amendment. If these things were postponed until tomorrow, it would be really too late.

As the palace maids still stayed in situ, Phoenix Five said angrily, “Leave now.” These palace maids were so troublesome. The palace maids of the Zhuque Empire wouldn’t be so dilatory and hesitant like them.

“Yes.” Feeling the fury of Phoenix Five, the palace maids immediately bowed away.

After the palace maids retreated, Duanmu Xi walked to the window and looked at the Osmanthus fragrans falling outside the window. Smelling the refreshing fragrance, she felt less worried and melancholy.

She was marrying Snow tomorrow. She didn’t feel happy but restless, nervous and a bit afraid. Was this what the modern people called gamophobia?

In the imperial study.

Holding a cup of tea, Eunuch Hu walked inside and looked at Xuanyuan Lie who kept curving the corners of his mouth upwards. With a smile, he put the teacup in front of Xuanyuan Lie and said, “Your Majesty seems especially happy these two days!”

“Do I?” Xuanyuan Lie smiled more happily. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea.

“Since the marriage of Prince Zhan and Crown Princess of Zhuque was finalized in the Baihu Hall that day, you have never ceased to smile.” As Xuanyuan Lie was in a good mood, Eunuch Hu started to joke with him.

“Is it so obvious?” Hearing that, Xuanyuan Lie touched the corner of his mouth.

These several days, he was happy indeed. His son was getting married and his future daughter-in-law was such a great woman. Of course he was happy. Somehow, he felt when Mo was married, he would kind of accomplish a great cause of his life.

While they were talking, a guard came to report, “Your Majesty, here arrive Empress and Royal Consort of the Zhuque Empire.”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Lie immediately rose and said, “Where are they?”

The guard replied, “They have entered the Imperial City. Probably, they are arriving at the gate of the palace.”

Xuanyuan Lie immediately turned to order Eunuch Hu, “Go to Yingyue Palace and inform Crown Princess of Zhuque that Empress and Royal Consort of Zhuque have arrived.”

“Yes.” Eunuch Hu immediately took the order and left.

“The others just follow me to the gate of the palace. I shall receive Empress and Royal Consort of Zhuque on my own.”
