“This... What is happening here?” Yu Ling’er voiced her confusion, speculating, “Could it be that when Elder Qingxue was about to obtain the Louxia Immortal Extreme Pill, Ye Xuan also got one?!”
“”No... Impossible!!!” At this moment, Elder Qingxue wasn’t paying attention to Yu Ling’er’s questions. She was utterly shocked, her gaze fixated on the unfolding scene.”
Incredulity filled her eyes, especially when she saw the Mysterious Extreme Sword floating before Ye Xuan. She seemed to realize a possibility but was hesitant to voice it, tears welling in her eyes.
“Louxia Immortal Extreme Pill, Mysterious Extreme Sword... and an unfathomable technique.” Ye Xuan mulled over his newfound treasures, speaking to himself, “These items are of little use to me, but they could be beneficial for my wife. Yet, how can I give them to her, considering her intense hatred for me? I need a plan...”
“”Since I’ve been fortunate enough to enter this Louxia Immortal Cave, I should arrange some fortune for her as well.””
“Uh...” Yu Ling’er finally grasped the situation. She realized that Elder Qingxue’s so-called fortune might actually have been orchestrated by Ye Xuan! Despite Ye Xuan claiming they were useless to him, they were invaluable to any cultivator.
His struggle against the jade giant indicated his need for a suitable weapon or technique. The Louxia Immortal Extreme Pill could even elevate an immortal’s realm!
And yet, Ye Xuan planned to give these treasures to Mo Qingxue. Why? Yu Ling’er felt a pang of envy, while Elder Qingxue’s eyes overflowed with tears once more.
So, it was like this all along! Elder Qingxue had always believed herself to be a person of destiny, blessed with incredible fortune. But now she realized it was all Ye Xuan’s doing.
No wonder she felt so fortunate – obtaining pills, a sword, and techniques, all thanks to Ye Xuan’s silent efforts.
Yet, after gaining these powers and facing Ye Xuan again, she had killed him without hesitation. But that wasn’t the whole truth...
Elder Qingxue’s mind raced back to the time when she confronted Ye Xuan for revenge, her heart heavy with the realization of the past.
“I never imagined I’d be so fortunate, obtaining the Louxia Immortal Extreme Pill, Mysterious Extreme Sword, and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sword Technique in such a short time... Is this fate’s way of helping me find Ye Xuan faster for my revenge?”
At this moment, Mo Qingxue had successfully refined the Louxia Immortal Extreme Pill. With the power of the Mysterious Extreme Sword and Nine Heavens Mysterious Sword Technique, she easily transcended the heavenly tribulation and achieved immortal status.
Feeling ready to settle her grudge with Ye Xuan, she pondered, “Where could that beast Ye Xuan be hiding? By the time I find him, he might already be old... How then can I exact my revenge?”
Filled with boundless hatred, she resolved, “Even if it means searching the ends of the earth, I must find Ye Xuan!”
Meanwhile, Ye Xuan was quietly keeping tabs on Mo Qingxue’s whereabouts, fully aware of her cultivation progress. He formed a memory aura with his hand and infused it with his thoughts.
“My wife, when you see this memory aura, I’m probably already dead at your hands,” he mused. “I know you hate me... but there are many misunderstandings between us that remain unclarified.”
“When I took you by force, it was because your brother and a fox spirit cursed me. Though I was tricked into having you by such means, I had already fallen for you... I just didn’t have the chance to propose to you.”
Tears welled up in Elder Qingxue’s eyes again. Ye Xuan’s memory aura, his preparation for death at her hands – she understood it all too well. Ye Xuan had loved her all along and was ready to die by her hand.
“What about my past self?!” Yu Ling’er felt slighted. “Don’t I deserve to be remembered? Have you completely forgotten about me?!”
“”Alright, I was just joking. To be honest, I didn’t really like you at first. It was just a typical man’s attraction to a beautiful woman,” Ye Xuan added.”
Elder Qingxue: ...
Yu Ling’er: ...
“In truth, I was planning to marry the woman I love, Jiang Ling’er. Unfortunately, she’s a jealous type and wouldn’t allow me to have thoughts about other women. Although I liked you, I had to reluctantly give up the idea of having multiple wives.”
As Ye Xuan spoke, a content smile graced his face – a smile filled with happiness. Then, his expression turned cold again.
“Because of your brother’s schemes, Jiang Ling’er misunderstood me and left. I vowed to make your brother pay...”
“But since you were already my wife, I had to consider your feelings. Thus, I purposely treated you poorly so you wouldn’t plead for him. But as time went on, I realized how much it hurt me to be cruel to you. Every harsh word I said to you felt like a knife twisting in my own heart. It was torture.”
“Eventually, I decided to forgive your brother. But then, he went mad and summoned a fox demon to harm you!”
“”The demon, disguised as a fox fetus, was something I couldn’t deal with directly, so I continued to act harshly towards you to drive it out. You have no idea how painful it was for me when I forced you to drink the chicken soup I made myself.”
“I did kill your brother; he deserved it. But I didn’t kill our child because it was all a fox demon’s illusion. I had to be tough on you to drive the demon out. Do you know how much my heart ached? Every time I hurt you, it was like cutting my own heart with a knife.”
“I finally drove the fox demon out of your body and was ready to explain everything... but then you left without giving me a chance. I regretted not staying by your side. If I had, maybe we wouldn’t have had such a big misunderstanding.”
“When we met again, you brought a Daoist Master and claimed you were with him. My heart was already numb by then.”
“I couldn’t feel the pain anymore, really. But I understood it was just something you said in anger, a misunderstanding. I really understood... “
“So, I wanted to keep explaining to you. But then you told me you had sworn an oath to kill me or else you’d fall into an endless hell. That’s when I truly panicked. Didn’t you know you shouldn’t make such vows carelessly?! “
“I couldn’t explain to you anymore because if you knew the truth, you’d surely break your oath. I couldn’t let you fall into an endless abyss... Therefore, I ordered everyone who knew the truth not to explain it to you. But that wasn’t enough...”
“I knew you had stepped onto the path of immortality, so I also devoted myself to cultivation. From that moment, I decided that I would die by your hand.”
“But I couldn’t just die in vain. I had to help you succeed in cultivation first... to achieve immortality. In this way, in the next life, I would have the chance to continue our love.”
“”Unexpectedly, the heavens helped me. Not only was my cultivation speed rapid, but I also acquired a Louxia Immortal Cave’s treasures. These treasures can easily help you become an immortal. Which is just perfect!””
“My wife, if you’re seeing this, I believe you understand everything now. So please, find my next incarnation. Unlike others, I won’t enter the cycle of reincarnation but will be reborn somewhere else. I’ll still be me, but I might have forgotten you.”
“Ah... What did I do wrong in this life? I know you love me, and I love you, but why can’t we have a happy ending? I feel so miserable.”
