The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife

Chapter 283: Chapter 151: Have You Given Up?

Qingqing naturally didn’t believe it at all, she thought Chu Xuan didn’t want to see her.

She made it known that as long as she didn’t see Chu Xuan for a day, she wouldn’t leave for a day.

Then Qingqing decided not to waste energy and sat in front of the mountain gate, waiting till eternity. Surely, they can’t get married without inviting guests.

Later, it wasn’t Chu Xuan she waited for, but that little girl who argued with her outside the secret realm came out with a pretentious senior tone, advising her to give up on having children with Chu Xuan.

This made Qingqing so angry that she almost started another argument with her.

But the girl quickly started boasting about how close she was to Chu Xuan, and Qingqing hesitated to offend her upon hearing this.

After all, her image in Chu Xuan’s eyes was already poor. If she offended someone close to him, it would only make him dislike her more.

So, Qingqing decided to swallow her pride and try to befriend this girl named "Jiang Yiyi."

She soon found out it wasn’t difficult.

Because Jiang Yiyi’s personality was like a child’s, she even claimed to be an Immortal descended to the mortal realm, an Ancestor of the Dao Palace. As long as you sweet-talked her and went along with her temper, you could quickly become friends with her.

Furthermore, Jiang Yiyi was very naive. When Qingqing inquired about Chu Xuan and Gu Haitang, she spilled everything at once.

Qingqing learned that their relationship had grown to this extent, and she felt both jealousy and worry.

So she took Jiang Yiyi’s hand and told her about her feelings for Chu Xuan, her journey, and the ensuing misunderstandings.

As expected, Jiang Yiyi was very sympathetic after hearing this and volunteered to speak on her behalf when Chu Xuan returned.

...

As soon as she saw Chu Xuan return, Jiang Yiyi waved her hands excitedly, "Welcome back~"

Gu Haitang grew even more worried, could it be that Jiang Yiyi was so quickly bought over by that wicked woman Qingqing??

Yes, Qingqing’s position in Haitang’s heart had never changed.

She always thought this demonic sorceress would harm Chu Xuan, harboring ulterior motives, as Qingqing herself had directly stated her "other intentions to approach Chu Xuan."

She indeed hurt him, both physically and emotionally.

Therefore, Gu Haitang felt obliged to protect Chu Xuan, preventing him from falling into this wicked woman’s grasp again.

So she tightly held Chu Xuan’s hand and said, "Listen to me..."

Chu Xuan, after an initial wave of emotions, had calmed down and gently patted Haitang’s hand, smiling at her, "Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."

Gu Haitang felt much more at ease seeing this, as Chu Xuan still loved her.

When Xuanji Zi brought the two of them down before the mountain gate, Chu Xuan took the initiative to address the elders, "Apologies, Shibo, I’ll resolve this matter soon. Please bring Shizhu back to the mountain first."

Xuanji Zi, leaning on his cane, curiously glanced at Qingqing and nodded, "I’ll leave it to you then."

But Jiang Yiyi protested, "I don’t want to! Chu Xuan, listen to me, Qingqing also wants to have children with you, you misunderstood her before."

Chu Xuan nodded to her, "I’ll handle it, trust me."

Seeing this, Jiang Yiyi pouted and could only say to Qingqing, "He’ll listen to you, so I’ll leave now."

Qingqing, with a heart full of trepidation, nodded, her gaze towards Chu Xuan filled with longing, tension, guilt, and various other emotions.

Chu Xuan’s expression remained as calm as water, leaving one unable to tell what he was thinking.

"Come with me, let’s go somewhere quiet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xuan took off using Sword Control, with Qingqing and Gu Haitang quickly following behind.

...

Landing by a secluded forested lakeside, Chu Xuan turned to Qingqing.

Gu Haitang, however, came to his side, holding his hand tightly.

This made Qingqing uncomfortable, and she looked at Haitang pleadingly, "Can we talk alone?"

Gu Haitang, expressionless, shook her head, and Chu Xuan also said, "She’s my fiancée, there’s no reason to send her away at a time like this."

That "fiancée" word was like a knife stabbing into Qingqing’s heart, her face paled, and she was almost on the verge of collapse.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and nodded.

"I... I have something to tell you, I didn’t mean to hurt you back at the Demon Sect."

Chu Xuan nodded, "I’m not foolish, I sensed that you might have your reasons at the time."

"But I’m really tired, time and again..." he said in a calm tone, with a rare hint of bitterness.

"If you hadn’t come to find me today, I wouldn’t have actively sought out the reasons behind it."

"But since you’re here, I’m willing to give you a chance to explain, go ahead."

Qingqing resisted the urge to cry, biting her lips, she started from the point of their separation, detailing what happened after she returned to the Li’an Demon Sect.

Including Yao Yufei’s threats, Ancestor Youxu disguised as a chubby guy, the Immortal Artifact in the ancestor’s hand, why she couldn’t use the magic fetus...

After saying everything, the atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Gu Haitang was somewhat uneasy, wanting to tell Chu Xuan not to trust her as what she said might not be true; this was also partly because Haitang didn’t know the complete picture, only having heard Floating Cloud Zi’s account.

Chu Xuan, however, sighed, "Then why didn’t you tell me back then? Were you so sure that Yao Yufei would definitely take my life?"

"Isn’t it possible that even if the Demon Sect attacked with full force, I wouldn’t die?"

Qingqing became anxious, "Yao Yufei wouldn’t let me say anything, even a hint, and she’d immediately strike ruthlessly. And how would you protect yourself?"
