Chapter 317 Extra Story —I Got a Wife in the Country of Mu Xia
Due to the unexpected interlude last night, Yun Muxi felt that the relationship between herself and Duanmu Gongyu had become far more ambiguous. Ever since she woke up early this morning, she had been avoiding Duanmu Gongyu, on purpose. Duanmu Gongyu felt quite helpless, since he could tell that Yun Muxi was evading him.

He had never had a female companion by his side. He did not even have any ordinary female friend. Consequently, he did not understand a woman’s secretive thoughts at all. Though it was amazing for him to have figured out Yun Muxi’s awkward personality, when it came to dealing with Yun Muxi in the current situation, he was at his wits end, and had no idea what he should do.

In order to ease their relationship, he planned to show Yun Muxi around this small town and take a stroll. Perhaps, Yun Muxi could be distracted and her emotions would be somewhat eased. They would continue on with their journey, once they got out of this small town.

Duanmu Gongyu was walking on the street lane of the small town slowly, along with Yun Muxi. Since it was still early, there were not many people on the street. Small though the town might be, its architectural style was literally elegant, more or less.

Walking on the street quietly, Yun Muxi was not in the mood to enjoy the scene. She felt secretly disturbed. The interlude that took place last night had unnerved her heart completely, which was also the reason why she had been avoiding Duanmu Gongyu.

She feared that she would really fall in love with Duanmu Gongyu. As a matter of fact, she felt pretty confused, as a newcomer here. As for the current situation, everything was not clear yet. Since she had not figured out how she had traveled through time, she was also perplexed at how her future would end up. Consequently, at this moment, her heart was in chaos.

Actually, the reason why she avoided Duanmu Gongyu was not that she was acting too awkwardly, or there were some faults on Duanmu Gongyu’s side, or she had no feelings for Duanmu Gongyu at all. The real reason was that she still could not put up with the shock brought about by her traveling through the time. She knew Duanmu Gongyu treated her with sincere kindness, but she was not courageous enough to accept all of these things.

All of a sudden, a chaotic sound indicating that the horses were running speedily, could be heard, in front of her. A carriage seemed about to crash rampantly into Yun Muxi. Duanmu Gongyu came to his senses quickly. He pulled Yun Muxi into his arms, leaped, twirled around, and landed on the ground… He completed the series of motions in one go, and looked incomparably handsome.

While Yun Muxi was still suffering from the shock, she heard a female inside the carriage speaking in a sweet and tender voice, “Who on earth are you?”

Duanmu Gongyu roared indignantly and coldly as he said, “Do you intend to die?” The look in his eyes was as sharp as an icy knife. He glared at the woman directly.

An ice cold feeling crept into the woman’s heart. However, she was overwhelmed by her amazement and addiction. What she said next, startled all the people on the scene, “You should be my husband!”

All the people on the scene stared at this woman, who looked delicate, sweet, and beautiful. However, she leaned out of the window of the carriage disapprovingly, and stared at Duanmu Gongyu attentively. Amazement and addiction filled her face.

Duanmu Gongyu frowned. The look on his face was distant. He eyed the woman in front of him with his linear eyes, which resembled those of a phoenix, coldly and solemnly.

This woman was indeed beautiful, with a delicate appearance. Her face was tender and sweet looking. A bright and beautiful dot made of cinnabar was painted between her exquisite eyebrows, making her look attractive and lovely. Her delicate nose stood upright. Her mouth looked like a delicate cherry, and made her skin, which was as smooth and white as a piece of ceramic, look more tender and rosy. The makeup on her round cheeks was light and delicate. Her crystal clear eyes were brimming with intelligence, shrewdness, and confidence.

Though she had been slightly startled, the amazing glow came back to her face, and she looked quite confident.

The woman gave a soft and tender smile and spoke in a low voice, as she said extremely confidently, “As a young lady, I have been recruiting and picking a husband for myself in recent days. Ever since I laid my eyes on you, I want you to be my husband.”

The way she talked was arrogant and proud. She did not act reservedly or bashfully at all, which a tender female should be.

Yun Muxi was stupefied. She cursed astoundingly in secret as she thought, “Are all the women in this era that bold? They are far more forthright than her, who came from modern times. What made her feel so confident that she dared to propose to the current Third Prince? Oh, no! What she was doing was not a proposal at all. Look at how she had talked in such a domineering manner. Obviously, she intended to steal Duanmu Gongyu and make him her husband! She was nobody , but a beautiful and white-skinned lady from a rich family and that was all. Could it be that she thought of herself as a fairy from heaven? How arrogant and presumptuous she was!”

In Yun Muxi’s opinion, though Gongsun Weiwei looked beautiful, she was not amazed by her at all. After all, there were quite many beauties like her in the modern world, where she had come from. Because many beauties, who had gone through plastic surgeries, had requested to transform themselves to look like Gongsun Weiwei, which was simply too vulgar, if Yun Muxi appreciated it from the aesthetic perspective.

Duanmu Gongyu roared indignantly as he said in a cold and determined manner, “How daring you are! As a prince, never will I allow myself to be longed for by the kind of woman like you!”

Gongsun Weiwei sensed acutely that Duanmu Gongyu had revealed his own identity between the lines.

Prince? Could it be that he was the…

Gongsun Weiwei eyed Duanmu Gongyu up and down. The look in her eyes was shrewd and smart. Duanmu Gongyu felt uncomfortable at being scrutinized by Gongsun Weiwei so openly. He frowned and the look on his face was frighteningly cold. He stared at her coldly with his phoenix like eyes.

Gongsun Weiwei did a quick round-up in her head. Actually, in this small town, many ladies from influential families would have a book named “A Handbook of the Talented Youth in Jin Lin City” in their hands. As a city that lay in the most central position, Jin Lin City was like a capital city in modern times. As for those young and talented men in Jin Lin City, they were distinguished, rare, and stunning.

What had been recorded in A Handbook of the Talented Youth in Jin Lin City was all about the young masters in Jin Lin City, who were powerful, influential, handsome, graceful, and versatile, in both literature and fighting skills.

Gongsun Weiwei’s brain started to work quickly. She thought, “This man called himself a prince. Moreover, he looks handsome and graceful. Back when he saved the woman a moment ago, he acted nimbly and swiftly. His temperament is completely imposing. He should have an extraordinary background and powerful connections.”

While pondering on this, she felt her eyes darkening all of a sudden. A thought came into her mind. She thought, “Is he the Third Prince named Duanmu Gongyu, who is the most outstanding and gifted one in Jin Lin City?” A trace of light shone brightly in her eyes. She could confirm that the man in front of her was that Duanmu Gongyu!

Duanmu Gongyu was one of Gongsun Weiwei’s favorites, who had been listed in A Handbook of the Talented Youth in Jin Lin City. However, since Duanmu Gongyu was too stunning and outstanding, he looked like the brightest star in the sky, which was beyond her reach. Gongsun Weiwei dared not fantasize about him.

However, now that he was standing in front of her, he seemed to be far more stunning than what he looked like in A Handbook of the Talented Youth in Jin Lin City. With excitement in her heart, Gongsun Weiwei would not let him go. She definitely would take this man! She thought that except for her, no other women in this world could be a match for him.

Gongsun Weiwei pretended to act calmly as she said, “Are you the well-known Prince Yu named Duanmu Gongyu? Since I, Gongsun Weiwei, have both the talent and beauty and come from a profoundly rich family, no other woman in this world could match you, except for me. It must be the marriage, which I have been requesting for thousands of years, that made us meet each other today. I like you and firmly believe that you should be my husband.”

“What a joke! According to you, it is the marriage, which you have been requesting for thousands of years, that brings us here today. In this case, I should have had crowds of wives and concubines, who could circle around the whole Jin Lin City by several rounds, if they formed a line. Moreover, how dare you act so boldly and declare that only you could match me? Speaking of the kind of woman like you, you could only be qualified to be the housemaid in my royal house. You actually want to be my wife. How overconfident you are!”

Duanmu Gongyu said all this in a cold and determined way, belittling Gongsun Weiwei mercilessly and cruelly, as if she were nothing. What he had just said was like a forcible slap on Gongsun Weiwei’s face.

Gongsun Weiwei felt fiery hotness creeping upon her face, all of a sudden. The look on her face was extremely amazing. It went dark, then red, and became white again, and looked like a palette.

Gongsun Weiwei felt so angry that her chest rose and fell continuously. She roared indignantly as she said, “A large number of men long to be my husband. You actually are so bold that you refuse me. Speaking of all the women in the whole country of Mu Xia, who could be comparable to me? I am stunningly and unprecedently beautiful; I am versatile, talented, and proficient in every skill. As for that, nobody could beat me. Moreover, my family is super rich and have powerful connections. Are you already blind before you went out today?”

Duanmu Gongyu sneered as he said, “He…” He did not want to keep talking with such a cheekless and presumptuous woman anymore. He disdained arguing with a woman, who had been trying to make trouble out of nothing. After that, he said firmly and gently, “I already have a wife.”

His sentence was like a clap of thunder, making all the people on the scene feel so stupefied that they stood stock still.

Gongsun Weiwei was astounded. Could it be that she had got the wrong information or the situation had changed? Wasn’t this Third Prince a well-known and eligible bachelor? How come he said he already has a wife, today?

Yun Muxi felt astounded as well. Didn’t Duanmu Gongyu tell her in person that he was not married yet? Could it be that he said it, so as to trick this woman now, or had he done it to deceive her, previously?

Hei Ye and Lan Yun were far more astounded. Rarely had their prince been close to a woman, how come he had a wife and when? Though he had Miss Yun by his side these days, they were far from getting married.

…

Gongsun Weiwei said incredulously, “No way! When did you get married, Third Prince? It is well-known that you have no feelings for women at all, right? Plus, it is rumored that you like men!”

When Duanmu Gongyu heard Gongsun Weiwei saying that he liked men, the look on his face became even more sullen. He stared at her coldly and said, “Gongsun Weiwei, how dare you! You actually dare to speak such nonsense in front of my legal wife today!” While talking, he pulled Yun Muxi into his arms directly, and revealed her identity.

What Duanmu Gongyu had said and done, hurt Gongsun Weiwei so much. Though he had belittled her so mercilessly a moment ago, she could not have felt as heart-broken as she was now.

Was it true that Duanmu Gongyu actually had a wife?

Gongsun Weiwei stared at Yun Muxi viciously, and fixed her eyes on her attentively. The look in her eyes was like a piercing arrow, which could penetrate Yun Muxi’s heart.

Yun Muxi could not help shuddering. If the look in Gongsun Weiwei’s eyes could get people killed, she would have died many times, at this moment.

Gongsun Weiwei eyed Yun Muxi up and down. Yun Muxi’s beautiful appearance made her feel so jealous that it seemed that a fire was burning inside her. However, it was not until she had seen Yun Muxi today, that she realized all of a sudden that the saying, which went “there will always be people better than you”, sound pretty true. Though she had been arrogant and presumptuous all the time, this time, she did feel that she did not shine that much, and had become somewhat dim.

At the beginning, Yun Muxi’s appearance had been delicate enough, and was flawless. Her big black eyes were clearer. Animation filled her eyes. The tear stain at the corner of her eyes looked like a teardrop, making her look uniquely attractive and lovely. Her fresh and refined temperament was an additional advantage. Normally, the more unique a woman was, the more lovely and attractive she would become. Though Gongsun Weiwei was indeed beautiful, she was beautiful in a common manner, which was somewhat vulgar and worldly. Consequently, once she was compared to a beauty like Yun Muxi, of course, she would become less shining, and end up as a dull and boring woman.

However, Gongsun Weiwei still thought that when it came to external appearances, she was about the same as Yun Muxi. She could not help mocking Yun Muxi as she said, “Where are you from? You are such a seductress. You are simply good-looking, and that’s all.”
