The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife

Chapter 278: Chapter 149: The More Anxious You Are, the More Anxious Others Get_3

In just two months, Qingqing has not yet emerged from the grief and pain of parting with Chu Xuan. She is afraid in her heart that Chu Xuan will no longer love her. Occasionally, she wants to rest well but can’t sleep, and when she finally sleeps, she begins to have nightmares.

In the dream, Chu Xuan is utterly heartless. He holds Gu Haitang in his left arm and Ji Mingyu in his right, coldly rejecting her apology. No matter how she cries and begs, he never turns back, leaving only a distant silhouette.

Every time she wakes up, Qingqing is covered in tears. She wholeheartedly wants to resolve the misunderstanding with Chu Xuan as soon as possible, but her rationality stops her.

Chu Xuan should already be back at the sect. Even Yao Yufei can’t threaten his life, but what her mother said earlier was very true.

If she wants to truly be with Chu Xuan, she must fully control the demon dragon, preferably wait until it is born, so she will no longer be restrained or bound by anyone.

In this world, strength is the foundation for cultivators. The strong can do whatever they want, while the weak can only be oppressed.

Why did she have to harm Chu Xuan previously? Wasn’t it because Yao Yufei was far stronger than her?

So even though she deeply yearns to reunite with Chu Xuan, Qingqing still suppresses herself, hoping to wait until the demon dragon is born before going.

According to Yao Yufei, the demon dragon may be born in as soon as three to five years, or it might take ten or more years. It’s best to continue finding "food" for the demon fetus to devour, which can speed up its growth.

Moreover, the food doesn’t have to be human cultivators; any creatures with power can do, and the stronger they are, the better.

Hence, Qingqing decides that once her emotions are adjusted over the coming days, she should take the demon fetus out to hunt monsters in the Great Wilderness.

If she works diligently, hunting monsters day and night without rest, the demon dragon could be born within one to two years.

As for whether Chu Xuan’s feelings with Gu Haitang would improve during this time, she can’t control that.

Luckily, there’s the previous experience of offering herself willingly and being rejected by Chu Xuan, giving Qingqing the confidence that no matter how their feelings develop, they won’t easily reach the final step.

As for further becoming Dao Companions and getting married... it’s unlikely. Chu Xuan still has her in his heart, and he’s also tied to his master, isn’t he?

This means, I still have a chance!

Thinking of this, Qingqing becomes even more determined to pull herself together and stop being so withdrawn.

So she stroked the demon fetus next to her, which was round and looked like a black dumpling, stood up firmly, and said, "Let’s go hunt monsters."

The demon fetus immediately cheerfully transformed into a small dragon form and followed. Its intelligence is now comparable to a three-year-old child and it can understand most of what’s said to it.

After leaving through the secret door in the depths of the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion, Qingqing intended to leave directly. Just as she reached the main gate, she suddenly turned back and went to the third floor.

Before setting off, she wanted to check which monsters are the most nutritious for targeted hunting.

Furthermore, Qingqing was also pondering that her mother would definitely not let her go alone on this trip and would surely send someone to follow her, so she needed to find a way to secretly send a letter to Chu Xuan.

She had written the letter long ago, revised eighteen times, its language sincere enough that it would dispel any idea that she didn’t love him anymore.

The only difficulty right now is how to circumvent Li’an Demon Sect’s surveillance and get it to Chu Xuan.

Just as Qingqing was pondering this, two disciples came up to her as if they were about to leave.

Upon seeing her, they immediately greeted her nervously, "Greetings, Saintess!"

Qingqing acted as if she didn’t see them and walked past them, but after taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped because she heard some "voices" by her ear.

Why did the Saintess come out?

Go, go, go, make sure she doesn’t find out about it.

The two disciples exchanged a glance, immediately hurriedly leaving, but Qingqing suddenly turned and shouted, "Stop!"

The two trembled simultaneously, standing still and not daring to move.

"How dare you hide things from me?" Qingqing approached with a displeased look.

Finished, the two disciples’ eyes both flashed with a look of despair.

Since the last incident when Chu Xuan caused a commotion at Li’an Demon Sect, many people have known that the Saintess possesses the legendary "Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart" and can seemingly hear others’ thoughts.

This matter, no matter what, can’t be hidden from her...

After staring at the two for a while, Qingqing had yet to threaten and question them when her face suddenly changed dramatically!

"What?! An alliance marriage??"

The two disciples saw this and dared not hide anything further. With the demon fetus still next to the Saintess, they didn’t want to be eaten on the spot and immediately spilled all the news they had heard.

After hearing this, Qingqing looked extremely pale, almost unable to stand.

She weakly waved her hand, and those two disciples, as if pardoned, fled desperately. Despite the Sect Leader’s strict orders, since they didn’t speak, who would know it was them who leaked the matter?

Impossible, how could it be like this? Qingqing bit her lip firmly, yet tears still uncontrollably flowed from her eyes.

How could Chu Xuan do this? He doesn’t want me now, even though he promised to become Dao Companions with me?

Why did he marry Gu Haitang so quickly? Did that woman force him? No, it should be that Chu Xuan agreed willingly...

Does he really believe that I betrayed him? Impossible, anyone could see that I was forced by circumstances at that time, right?

Should it be accepted just like that?

No!!

Qingqing bit her teeth hard and sobbed, "I must go find him, I must clarify everything with him, I will go now!"

No one can stop her, and if Yao Yufei, that woman, dares to obstruct her, Qingqing would dare to die in front of her.
