Chapter 121

She wondered why he had been doing her work instead of managing the household affairs at home.

Seeing her behavior, the driver twitched his mouth and thought, “Is she a woman? She never does women’s work but fights with swords, rides a horse, and drives a carriage with a whip. What an unfeminine woman she is! No wonder she’s still not married at 40. Forget it. Just let her drive the carriage as she wants. I am happy to remain idle!” Then he leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes for rest leisurely.

In the carriage, a woman was leaning against the chest of a man dressed in white like her. She had good looks and held a medical book, but her eyes were closed and her curled long lashes fluttered as she breathed.

The man in white felt the woman breathing evenly in his arms and couldn’t help smiling with a doting look in his amber eyes. He gently removed her medical book and adjusted a comfortable position for her, while the woman was still asleep without being disturbed by his move.

This couple was Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo. They had just attended Xue Luochen’s wedding and were now on their way back to the Baihu Empire. Because they had Phoenix Five and Long Yue around with no urgent matters, they didn’t ride an Icy Dragon but bought a carriage for a slow trip. It was half a month’s journey.

When their carriage entered the Baihu Empire’s territory, Phoenix Five and Long Yue shivered at once.

It was so cold and seemed to have a sudden drop of 20 or 30 Celsius degrees.

In the carriage, Xuanyuan Mo also felt the temperature plummet and knew that they had arrived in the Baihu Empire. After looking down at Duanmu Xi who was shrinking further into his arms, he took out a white fox fur robe from his storage ring to cover her and then released his fire spiritual power to warm her.

Duanmu Xi seemed to feel the warmth. Her knitted brows became smooth, and she rubbed her face against Xuanyuan Mo’s chest.

A titillating sensation spread from Xuanyuan Mo’s chest to his whole body and aroused his desire. He smiled helplessly at Duanmu Xi who was still asleep in his arms and bent down to kiss her lips.

Until the afternoon, Duanmu Xi opened her eyes in a daze and found herself lying in Xuanyuan Mo’s arms.

“Why did I fall asleep?” she thought.

When Xuanyuan Mo saw Duanmu Xi’s drowsy purple eyes and languid charm, he couldn’t help kissing her lips again, but it wasn’t a quick kiss like earlier.

His sudden passionate kiss sobered up Duanmu Xi.

“Um…” She stared wide-eyed at Xuanyuan Mo’s handsome face and felt his domineering and wildness. Her face became redder.

Snow was so passionate!

Duanmu Xi didn’t know that Xuanyuan Mo had restrained himself for a while. If not for the fear of waking her up, he would have been so passionate just now.

After a long kiss, Xuanyuan Mo held back his desire and let go of Duanmu Xi.

“You’re my irresistible temptation…” His hoarse voice was full of unvented desire.

Hearing his hoarse voice and feeling his hard part under her ass, Duanmu Xi blushed and lay motionless in Xuanyuan Mo’s arms.

A while later, she changed the subject, “Where are we?”

Xuanyuan Mo saw Duanmu Xi’s evasive eyes and responded with a pleasant smile, “We’re in the Baihu Empire and will enter the Imperial City in two days.”

Hearing his words, Duanmu Xi frowned. Baihu Empire? Had she slept so long?

At this moment, an argument rang out from outside the carriage curtain

“Are you crazy? As a man, how can you take off your clothes in front of me? You… do you want to marry a wife later? Put on your coat quickly,” Phoenix Five said and blushed while turning around not to see Long Yue who was taking off his clothes.

Long Yue was speechless and replied to her without even thinking, “No, I don’t.”

He was a real man and would get a wife at most.

Then he took off his robe and draped it over Phoenix Five, who had her back to him.

The sudden warmth shocked Phoenix Five. She looked down at the familiar black robe and instantly had a strange feeling lingering in her heart.

What did Long Yue want? How could he drape his robe over her? If the other girls in the Phoenix Guard Squad saw this, they would tease her.

Phoenix Five pulled off Long Yue’s black robe from herself and turned to see him in thin clothes. Suddenly, she had an impulse to care about him.

“It’s cold and snowing. Aren’t you afraid you’ll freeze in such thin clothes?”

She reprimanded Long Yue severely and draped the black robe over him.

“Tie up your clothes,” She added in a tough tone.

Long Yue curled his lips and thought, “Is she a woman? In the face of her lack of femininity, I must have just been possessed by a ghost to treat her as a woman.”

“Is it snowing outside?” A cold female voice came from inside the carriage.

Phoenix Five responded respectfully at once, “Yes, Your Highness.”

Suddenly, two black cloaks were thrown out of the carriage. Phoenix Five and Long Yue each took one and spoke in the same breath.

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

“Thank you, Mistress.”

“The clothes are not mine.” Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Mo with a smile in the carriage and explained to the outside.

Phoenix Five and Long Yue understood at once.

“Thank you, Childe Xuanyuan.”

“Thank you, Childe Xuanyuan.”

Xuanyuan Mo frowned and instructed them, “Speed up into the town ahead and find an inn.”

Night fell early in the Baihu Empire, and the weather was winter all the year-round, so it was very cold here at night. Naturally, they couldn’t spend the night in the carriage and had to stay in an inn.

“Yes, Childe Xuanyuan.” Phoenix Five and Long Yue gave a quick response.

Two hours later, their carriage finally entered a town. It was just getting dark now. Phoenix Five found a clean inn and stopped their carriage.

“Your Highness and Childe Xuanyuan, here we are at the inn.”

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo got off the carriage together.

Duanmu Xi wore a white fox fur robe, while Xuanyuan Mo wore a black cloak. They stood in the snow, looking like unique scenery.

The four of them walked into the inn.

After looking around the inn with few guests, Phoenix Five put a blue crystal on the counter and said to the innkeeper, “Three first-class rooms”

Phoenix Five knew that Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo clung to each other like glue, so she only ordered three first-class rooms.

At the sight of the blue crystal, the innkeeper’s eyes lit up, and he welcomed them with a smile, “Lead our guests to…”

When he saw Duanmu Xi, he stopped speaking abruptly and showed a look of amazement.

She was… such a beautiful woman. At this point, the innkeeper suddenly felt that he lived for decades in vain.

Seeing the innkeeper’s infatuated eyes, all the waiters turned to look at Duanmu Xi and then became the same as him. It was as if only this beautiful woman was in their world and no one else or anything else deserved their attention.

A sudden cold aura sobered up all the people who were immersed in Duanmu Xi’s beauty.

Looking at Xuanyuan Mo’s fierce eyes, the innkeeper had cold sweat on his forehead and even couldn’t help but shiver in his legs.

As for those waiters, they all shivered and bowed their heads, without the guts to look at Duanmu Xi.

Phoenix Five and Long Yue also felt the cold sweat on their backs as they looked at Xuanyuan Mo. He just stood there quietly and did nothing else. Even he didn’t release his powerful aura, his eyes scared them. What a horrible man he was!

Phoenix Five looked at the panicked innkeeper and yelled, “Hurry and arrange our rooms.”

Her voice startled the innkeeper. He immediately turned to the waiter nearby and instructed, “Show our guests to the second floor.”

Without delay, the waiter replied, “Yes. Please follow me, my distinguished guests.”

He kept his head down and didn’t dare to look up.

Thinking of their carriage at the inn gate, Phoenix Five added, “Bring our carriage to your backyard and feed the horse some hay.”

The innkeeper responded respectfully at once, “Okay, don’t worry. We’ll serve your carriage well.”

When Xuanyuan Mo and his companions followed the waiter up the stairs, they heard noisy footsteps outside, and then a group of soldiers rushed in.

Xuanyuan Mo saw the soldiers’ clothes and blinked his amber eyes.

The officer who led them also threw a blue crystal to the innkeeper and said arrogantly, “We’ll book your whole inn, so drive all your other guests away.”

The innkeeper saw so many soldiers for the first time and was momentarily stunned with fear.

Behind the officer and soldiers, a young man in a bright-yellow embroidered robe walked in, followed by a cool and handsome man in black.

Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo frowned at the sight of the two familiar men.

“Have all the other guests been cleared out?” The young man looked at the officer and asked impatiently.

Immediately, the officer bent down to flatter him, “Prince Regent, sit aside for a moment, please. It will be done soon.”

At the same time, the officer pulled out a chair and wiped it with his sleeves, looking as if he wanted to lick it clean with his head down.

After the young man sat down, the officer turned to scold the innkeeper, “Drive the other guests away right now. Or do you want to die?”

Duanmu Xi saw his behavior and curled her lips in disdain. His face changed even faster than those face-changing performers’!

Hearing it, the innkeeper answered with trepidation, “We only have these four guests today.”

The officer followed his gaze and saw several people standing on the stairway. Among them, a woman in a white fox fur robe was beautiful like a fairy and caught his eyes.

Sensing the officer’s abnormality, the young man and the man in black both looked toward the stairway.
