Chapter 264

In the imperial garden of the Immortal World.

The Heavenly Emperor looked at Xi staring at the immortal pool blankly, his eyes slightly flickering. He walked over there and sat by Xi, saying gently, “Are you thinking about Mo Heng?”

“Father.” Upon seeing the Heavenly Emperor, Xi forced a smile.

Staring at the somewhat sullen Xi, the Heavenly Emperor frowned, “What? Did Mo Heng bully you?”

Xi shook her head and hung her head, “No.” How could Mo Heng bully her? It was her own issue.

Seeing the quiet Xi, the Heavenly Emperor felt sorry for her and held her in his arms gently, “Are you worried that he will mind the curse on you?”

Xi didn’t reply and only quietly stayed in the Heavenly Emperor’s arms, but as her body stiffened, the Heavenly Emperor understood what she thought.

The Heavenly Emperor rubbed the top of Xi’s head affectionately, “If you’re worried, go and ask him.”

Hearing that, Xi looked at the Heavenly Emperor with a struggling face. Could she do that? Could she ask him? What if he really minded it? What if he really didn’t want her?

Staring at Xi’s confused face, the Heavenly Emperor slightly curled his lips, “If you don’t ask, you can never know the answer.” Actually, he could tell her the answer, but he felt Mo Heng should tell her the answer on his own.

Xi’s eyes flickered. Her father was right. She should go and ask Mo Heng by herself. If Mo Heng couldn’t accept it, she would give up. No matter what the result was, it was better than her worrying all day long here.

“Father, thank you!” When Xi looked up again, there was no confusion in her eyes again.

The Heavenly Emperor got up and patted Xi’s shoulder, “Go ahead!”

Hearing that, Xi slightly curled her lips.

In the Mo Palace of the Beast World.

Upon seeing Xi, the servants saluted respectfully, “Greetings, Your Highness.”

Xi slightly blushed in face of their respectful appearances. She opened her mouth but she didn’t ask them to drop the formalities and could only turn to go to Mo Heng’s room.

Mo Heng was not in the room. He looked around but couldn’t find Mo Heng. Xi frowned in frustration. Where did Mo Heng go?

When Xi wanted to return to the Immortal World in disappointment, a servant showed up from nowhere and walked to her, asking with a bow, “Are you looking for Lord Beast God?”

Seeing the servant in Mo Heng’s palace, Xi nodded, “Yes, do you know where he is?”

The servant bowed again and said, “Lord Beast God is in the Western Hall. I’ll show you the way.”

Xi nodded and followed the servant to the west.

After walking for a long time, Xi felt she got farther away from the Mo Palace and then frowned. She took a dubious look at the servant leading the way. Where was he taking her to? It had been a while but they still didn’t arrive.

While Xi was hesitating about whether to continue following the servant, the servant suddenly stopped and pointed at a palace ahead, “Here we are. It’s right here. Please go inside.”

Xi took a look at the palace. The board that hung in the middle of the palace was Western Hall.

“Are you sure…” Xi wanted to ask if the servant was in there, but when she turned her head, the servant was already missing.

Xi frowned again. After hesitating for a while, she still walked into the palace.

The palace was very huge and spacious, but there seemed to be nobody. Feeling that the palace was spooky, Xi swallowed nervously and wondered if Mo Heng was there.

In the cloister, Xi walked across a room and suddenly heard some noises from inside the room.

Xi felt delighted and then wanted to push open the door. However, she heard a woman’s groan from inside the room and then a man’s growl.

It took Xi quite a while to come to her senses. Hearing the noises in the room, she blushed with embarrassment. Even though she was still a virgin, she knew what the people in there were doing now.

While Xi wanted to leave, the woman in the room said, “Heng, you’re so great!”

Hearing the woman’s voice, Xi suddenly stopped. The woman was Liqing. She was calling Heng. Xi’s face turned pale at once and she subconsciously clenched the hem of her dress.

“Qing, I love you!”

Hearing the familiar voice and familiar words, she shed tears without a sign. It was really him. No, she didn’t believe it. She didn’t believe that Mo Heng would say the same words to another woman after saying that to her.

Xi pushed open the door and saw the indecently dressed couple in the room. Xi couldn’t believe what she saw. She struggled to widen her eyes, trying to find the loopholes of the man on the bed, but tears misted her eyes, blurring her vision.

Liqing on the bed saw Xi rushing inside and smiled complacently. She reached out her naked arms and put them around the man’s neck, saying coquettishly, “Heng, here comes your wife.”

Liqing emphasized the word “wife” with an ironic air.

The man held Liqing into his arms and lifted her chin, “Wife? Isn’t my wife you? A woman who can’t bear children like her is merely a plaything. Don’t take her seriously.”

“Knock it off.” Liqing grinned coquettishly and thumped the man’s chest gently. Then, leaning in his arms, she smiled ironically at Xi like a victor.

The cruel words dealt a heavy blow to Xi like a sharp knife. It turned out that she was merely a plaything in his heart. She was wrong. It was so silly and shameless of her to come to be humiliated by him.

Paying no heed to Liqing’s ironic smile and the disdain in the amber eyes, Xi turned around and left heartlessly.

As Xi left, Liqing directly pushed the man away and put on the clothes with a loath look.

Looking at Liqing’s loath expression, the man sneered, “What? You don’t want me now?”

Liqing stared at the man, her coquettish eyes glittering disdainfully. She wanted to yell at him, but upon thinking she could use him later, she lifted the man’s chin and smiled enchantingly, “Thank you for today. I’ll return the favor someday.” Then, Liqing wanted to get off the bed but was dragged back by the man.

“There is no time like the present. Return the favor today.” Then, the man got on top of Liqing.

Seeing that, Liqing felt flurried and started to struggle, “You asshole, let go of me…”

The man sneered and bent down to bite Liqing’s earlobe, saying in a low voice, “Didn’t you have fun just now? Now, you wanna act like a virgin? Too late!” Then, the man tore off Liqing’s clothes and towered above her.

…

Xi didn’t know how she returned to the Immortal World. She was in a trance like a soulless zombie.

Duanmu Xi looked at Xi and felt sorry for the latter. She knew Liqing would play a dirty move, but she didn’t expect Liqing’s trick to be so vicious. The man in the room shouldn’t be Mo Heng. Although they looked exactly the same, their temperaments were completely different. Mo Heng was aloof and yet gave a pure feeling while that man was malicious and yet gave an evil feeling.

If Xi observed carefully, she might be able to discover the man’s loophole. However, no woman could calm down in that case. Besides, the two shameless people said something to stimulate her. She couldn’t calm down to observe the fake Mo Heng.

In the Mo Palace of the Beast World.

Seeing that Mo Heng came back, the servants immediately came forward and reported, “Lord Beast God, Princess Xi came here for you just now.”

Hearing that, Mo Heng subconsciously curled his lips, “Where is she?”

Hearing that, the servant shook his head, “I don’t know, but since Her Highness didn’t see you, Her Highness must have gone home.”

Mo Heng frowned and disappeared from the spot with a flash.

In the Immortal World.

Xi didn’t return to the Nianxue Palace. Instead, she went to the pond where she met Mo Heng for the first time. Looking at the lotus pond that barely changed, Xi really wanted to jump in there. However, at the thought of her father, Xi’s eyes were brimming with tears. She had no right to die. Her father raised her on his own. If she died, her father must be so sad and lonely.

Suddenly, Xi felt a cloak put on her shoulders. She turned her head only to see that Zichun was standing behind her with a gentle face.

“Why are you standing here alone? Be careful not to catch a cold,” Zichun said and meanwhile laced up the cloak for Xi.

Staring at Zichun’s gentle face, Xi finally burst into tears.

Seeing that Xi shed tears, Zichun was freaked out. While wiping tears for Xi hurriedly, he said, “What happened? Who bullied you?”

Hearing that, Xi directly threw herself into Zichun’s arms and cried in a grievance, “Zichun… Beat him…”

Staring at Xi crying in a grievance in his arms, Zichun felt so sorry for her and stroked her back, saying gently, “OK, there there. Don’t cry. I’ll go and beat him.”

The two of them cuddling together didn’t notice the man in black standing not far away.

Looking at them hugging together, Mo Heng clenched his hands, his amber eyes full of jealousy and pain. He didn’t find Xi in the Nianxue Palace, so he came to the imperial garden. Unexpectedly, he caught them hugging.

He really wanted to rush forward and pull that man away, but the man’s dignity stopped his feet. He struck a harsh punch at a tree next to him.

With a bang, the tree fell.

Hearing the loud bang, Zichun and Xi turned around at the same time. Staring at the fallen tree, the two of them frowned simultaneously and looked around only to find no one.

In the Mo Palace of the Beast World.

Drinking the wine, Mo Heng kept thinking of the days he spent with Xi, giggling happily and sobbing sadly.

In the Nianxue Palace of the Immortal World.

Holding her legs, Xi huddled in the corner of the bed and also thought about what she had done with Mo Heng. Tears rolled down her face incessantly as if she would shed all her tears in this life.

This night, Mo Heng didn’t sleep. He drank for a whole night. It seemed that only by drinking could he forget what he had seen in the Immortal World. Xi, in the Immortal World, also stayed up and cried for the whole night in the corner of the bed.
