The Phoenix Arises Chapter 39.2

Chapter 39 . 2: The Death of Duanmu Shuang

He reached out and touched her fair face with a slight tremble .

“Little Xi…”

Swiftly, Xuanyuan Mo brought Duanmu Xi into his arms into an embrace .

He held her ever so tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his bones .

Duanmu Xi could clearly feel his uneasiness as well as excitement so she did not cry out in pain but stayed in his embrace quietly .

“Little Xi, I miss you so much, I really…really… miss you . . so…so . . much . ”

His gently murmurings close to her ears made the tip of her ears turn red but at the same time, she was filled with sweetness .

“Me too . ”

These simple two words immediately made Xuanyuan Mo’s heart burst with joy as he unconsciously tightened his embrace .

His Little Xi was thinking about him too, that’s really great…

When Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che saw the affection between the two, they exchanged a knowing glance and laughed out helplessly .

Their Little Xi was all grown up, it was time to find her a husband .

It looks like they had to head over to the White Tiger Kingdom when they had time to meet with that kid’s parents . Although it may be difficult, but their daughter was so outstanding, maybe they would agree to their marriage .

The cheers of the people all around continued on .

“Long live Her Highness the Crown Princess…” Once again, all the cheers thundered across the entire capital .

The Crown Princess who had been missing for three years, once again stood in front of them from high above and it made them look up and revere her .

Since then, there have been more legends about the Vermillion Bird Kingdom’s Divine Beast Protector .

Legend has it that Vermillion Bird Kingdom’s Divine Beast Protector really appeared in Kyoto City…

Legend has it that a fairy clad in white had appeared on the back of the Vermillion Bird Kingdom’s Divine Beast Protector…

Legend has it that the Vermillion Bird Kingdom’s Divine Beast Protector had quelled the rebellion…

To the commoners, the Vermillion Bird Kingdom’s Divine Beast, such a sacred being would forever be a figure that belonged to legends .

Black Tortoise Kingdom, Black Tortoise Great Hall .

A young man in yellow robes was seated on the left side of the Dragon Throne, but the Dragon Throne was empty .

That young man was in his early twenties and did not look too bad but he had been indulging himself in wine and women over the years so he looked dispirited and listless, like an empty sh.e.l.l .

This person was the Regent of the Black Tortoise Kingdom, Zhuge Weiming .

The ministers that were present below were all whispering amongst themselves .

“Why didn’t the Little Emperor come to the morning court today?”

“Sigh, whether he attends or not wouldn’t make any difference . After all, all the state affairs are also managed and decided by the Regent . ”

“I heard that the Little Emperor had fallen sick . ”

Just when everyone was discussing in hushed whispers, a eunuch took one step forward and announced: “If there is something to report, gather . If there is nothing, retreat . ”

“Report…”

Just when the eunuch’s voice trailed off, there was a soldier who hurriedly entered the Black Tortoise Great Hall . “The Azure Dragon Kingdom’s army is pressurizing our borders and has ama.s.sed before East Mount City . ”

“Report…”

Another soldier hurried into the hall, and reported, “The White Tiger Kingdom army is pressurizing our borders and has arrived at Three Brooks . ”

Before Zhuge Weiming heard the complete report of the two soldiers, he was so shocked that he stood up directly from his seat .
