Chapter 178
“Yes…” The senior brother replied, “I don’t recognize the junior brother or sister, but I’m certain about Elder Qingxue..”
“Who is that junior brother, allowing such a significant figure like Elder Qingxue to act so girlishly, throwing herself into his arms?”
“I don’t know him… But to have Elder Qingxue, such a beauty, throwing herself at him, and bringing along a immortal-like junior sister, it’s too enviable,” the junior brother replied enviously.
“Who would have thought, Elder Qingxue, having lived for hundreds of years, has yet to conquer the emotional realm,” the senior brother commented.
“I heard that many pursued her in the past, but she never showed them any favor; I thought she had transcended emotions.”
“To win the hearts of such beautiful immortals, this junior brother must possess extraordinary abilities,” the two brothers discussed, feeling awkward inside.
They were just here guarding the Taihua Sect’s array, never having been subjected to such an affront before. Suddenly, they were fed a mouthful of dog food.
Is it because they’re single? Cultivators aren’t supposed to be distracted by these things.
As they were awkwardly debating whether or not to continue watching the scene in front of them, the teleportation array suddenly lit up again. They
turned their gaze toward the center of the array, seeing a figure emerge and stand still, surveying her surroundings.
A pair of pointed fox ears, a tall and graceful figure, a slender waist like a water snake, skin as pale as snow, and the nine fluffy tails behind her made her exceptionally enchanting.
“Uh… this…”
Watching the figure suddenly appear in the array, the disciples guarding the array were dumbstruck. So beautiful, so enchanting! Such a creature actually exists in this world…
While celestial beings are high and unattainable, the kind of woman that truly stirs a man’s heart is this peerless being.
And now, this woman, with tears streaming down her face and red eyes, evoked a sense of pity and admiration in anyone who saw her.
“May I ask… where does the lady come from… what brings you here…” The leading Taihua Sect disciple stepped forward, swallowing hard before addressing her.
Although they were cultivators who normally disregarded mundane attractions, this was a test they were hardly prepared for.
Just her standing there was enough to shake their cultivation foundation. They didn’t know what this person, who clearly didn’t look like a Taihua Sect disciple, was doing here.
Regardless of her reasons, the disciples felt it was their moment to exhibit the decorum of Mount Taihua. Perhaps this was a beauty who had been wronged, needing his comfort. Perhaps this was his chance to no longer be single.
The person who had come through the teleportation array, if not Hu Qianzao, then who else could it be?
She glanced around and, without responding to the gatekeeper, saw Ye Xuan embracing Qingxue and Yu Ling’er. She couldn’t help but burst into tears, calling out, “Ye Xuan.”
“?” Ye Xuan let go of Qingxue and Yu Ling’er and turned to look towards Hu Qianzao. Seeing her in tears, he was puzzled.
Why was she crying again?
Qingxue and Yu Ling’er stepped aside to let Hu Qianzao move closer to Ye Xuan. Both were somewhat confused.
Hadn’t she cried enough just now?
“What’s wrong?” Ye Xuan held Hu Qianzao, softly comforting her.
“Uh…” Watching Hu Qianzao throw herself into Ye Xuan’s arms, the hopeful gatekeeper disciple was stunned, as were his fellow disciples nearby. Everyone watching this scene unfold felt an endless envy.
Why? Why?!
This new junior brother, not only did he have a celestial-like junior sister throw herself at him, but even Elder Qingxue jumped into his arms. And now this incredibly exotic fox spirit too?
Please, even if your relationships are genuinely close, consider the feelings of us bystanders. This flagrant display of affection, without caring whether we can handle it, is just too much.
At this point, they could no longer afford to feel embarrassed; they were all shocked, watching Ye Xuan, nearly chewing on their robes in jealousy.
“Alright, stop crying, what happened?” Gently patting Hu Qianzao back, Ye Xuan comforted her by saying, “What’s the matter? Speak out.”
He knew that Hu Qianzao was a person of measure, so her just crying meant it likely wasn’t anything serious. It might just be a burst of emotion that she couldn’t hold back.
“I remember now,” Hu Qianzao raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Ye Xuan and said.
“I remember everything… I didn’t betray you… I didn’t abandon you… It was the Heart Devouring Gu that took advantage of my unpreparedness and forcibly consumed my memories…
“That’s why I couldn’t remember anything about you… But now, I remember everything… We were so in love, so sweet together… But…”
“Really? That’s great!” Ye Xuan exclaimed joyfully and he said to Hu Qian’er, “You really remember? That’s wonderful!!!”
As he spoke, without letting Hu Qianzao finish her next words, he kissed her.
Hu Qianzao face turned red instantly; she wiped her tears and asked softly, “You… you’re not angry?”
“Why should I be angry? You regaining your memories is a good thing,” Ye Xuan said.
“But… because I lost my memories before, I hurt you, wronged you… even killed you once… I’m sorry…” Hu Qianzao said guiltily.
“Didn’t I say? That’s all in the past now,” Ye Xuan comforted her, wiping her tears away:
“I’m not angry, and if you keep bringing it up, that’s when I’ll really get angry. Right now, I’m just happy that you can remember our past.” Although he said this, Ye Xuan was greatly puzzled internally.
Weren’t Hu Qian’er’s incidents something he had concocted himself? Hu Qian’er never existed in the history of this world, though there might be evidence if one looked up, but she never really existed in this world’s history.
Things that never truly existed are being remembered by Hu Qianzao? The same is true for Wan Yuxin.
She was clearly a character forcibly created by his script, supposed to vanish with the false past of a previous script, yet she survived beyond the script’s timeline to appear in the current timeline.
‘Could it be that what I thought was a fabricated past actually exists? Next time, should I write in the script: “A omnipotent goddess, deeply in love with me, always protecting me”? If so, wouldn’t I become invincible?’
‘But such things shouldn’t be possible, right? The system wouldn’t allow me to do that. It seems the effects of my script are more complicated than I thought, not merely fake or real, but automatically blending truth and fiction…’
‘Meaning, Hu Qianzao’s past life might truly be as Hu Qian’er. My relationship with her might truly have been that melodramatically loving life, not a fictional past. ‘
‘It just wasn’t shown in Hu Qian’er’s script. If that’s the case, I need to be more careful in the future when creating dramas. I shouldn’t inadvertently torment the innocent… ‘
“Ye Xuan, you’re really kind.” Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Hu Qianzao face was filled with touched expression.
She said to Ye Xuan, “How about… you come back with me to the Jade Fox Palace, and I’ll marry you… After that, you will be the palace master of the Jade Fox Palace.”
“Cough, cough–!!!” At this moment, Yu Ling’er coughed lightly and said, “Palace Master of the Jade Fox Palace, you’re being too much.”
“Ye Xuan isn’t just yours; he originally belongs to our Taihua Immortal Sect. Why should he go back with you to the Jade Fox Palace?”
“Exactly,” Qingxue addedx “He’s free and happy every day with us at the Taihua Immortal Sect, who knows if you might drain his life force when he’s with you.”
“Speaking of which, a few of your Jade Fox Palace vixens were looking at Ye Xuan quite wrongly before–!”
L–!!!” Hearing this, Hu Qianzao face turned red as she retorted, “What are you talking about? Do you think I’m a fox spirit? I would never do such a thing–!!!
“With me at the Jade Fox Palace, who dares to compete with me for a man–!!!”
Ye Xuan: …
Yu Ling’er’s face also turned red, feeling like she had suddenly spoken out of turn.
“Elder Qingxue, could you consider your words before speaking? There’s still a pure young girl here.”
