The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife

Chapter 291: Chapter 154: Foolish Child

Chu Xuan was still a bit puzzled, how did Qingqing break in?

It wasn’t until a few disciples transmitted the news to him that he understood.

Because today was a day of great celebration, visitors were guests, and everyone in the Dao Palace knew this demoness from the Demon Sect had some unclear relationship with Chu Xuan. Not long ago, she had even stirred up trouble at the sect’s side, so no one dared to harm her.

In the previous instant, he was still amicably negotiating with her, and in the next, she’d barged in using her demon technique.

Seeing Qingqing’s arrival, Fuyunzi, not wanting his disciples to be troubled, took the initiative to say:

"Today is the joyous occasion of our sect’s alliance with Zichen. Since Miss Duanmu has graced us with her presence to offer her congratulations, let’s temporarily set aside the distinction between right and wrong."

"Please take the seat of honor and witness the ceremony; my disciple will offer you three cups of wine later to express our gratitude for your kindness."

Qingqing, however, remained calm and said, "I have a few words to say to Chu Xuan. Once I’ve said them, I’ll leave. Thank you, Master Zhenren, for your kindness."

"What does Miss Duanmu wish to say? It would not be too late to discuss it after the ceremony."

"No, by then it will be too late!"

Junior Brother Ye Xingming frowned and stepped forward, saying, "Miss Duanmu, today is a good day for my Senior Brother, please show some respect."

Qingqing ignored him and only looked toward Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan sighed, "Our ties have come to an end, and besides, nine times out of ten, things in this world don’t go as one wishes. Some things cannot be forced."

"But I insist on forcing it."

Hearing this sentence and seeing Qingqing’s stubborn face, Chu Xuan was momentarily stunned.

Gu Haitang suddenly reached out and tore off her red wedding veil, staring daggers at Duanmu Qing, her eyes filled with hatred.

For this final step, she had painstakingly prepared for so many days, and yet this demoness, who had been clearly rejected by Chu Xuan, still dared to come and cause trouble?!

Seeing Gu Haitang’s gaze and recalling last time when she had humbly begged wanting to chat alone with Chu Xuan without success, the last shred of guilt in Qingqing’s heart vanished completely.

With a cold demeanor, she said, "Chu Xuan, today you cannot marry Gu Haitang."

Chu Xuan, not wanting to engage in pointless arguments with her, was just about to harden his heart and have Qingqing ’escorted out,’ when he suddenly heard her say:

"Do you remember when we three traveled together, and I warned you that Gu Haitang had ulterior motives for you, urging you to be cautious of her?"

Chu Xuan froze, unsure of the meaning behind her bringing up old matters now.

Gu Haitang’s face slightly changed; she wanted to order Qingqing be driven out, but wouldn’t that make her appear guilty?

In her hesitation, she heard Qingqing continue: "After the last abdication ceremony, I’m sure many are aware now that I possess a ’Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart.’"

"This physique is extremely rare, naturally possessing four innate divine techniques corresponding to the eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth—these seven orifices."

"Moreover, each person with this kind of physique possesses different innate divine techniques."

"Coincidentally, my divine technique corresponding to the ears is called ’Heart Listening.’"

"Thus, I can know anyone’s thoughts, their secrets laid bare before me."

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted, and those with guilty consciences looked at Duanmu Qing with extreme apprehension, wishing to eliminate her posthaste!

Gu Haitang’s face grew pale; how could this be? Could this woman really have such a terrifying innate divine technique?!

No, no, she couldn’t be fooled. If Qingqing knew her thoughts, she would have accused her to Chu Xuan long ago, not waited until today to make trouble.

Chu Xuan also frowned, "And then? Back then, I asked you about Haitang’s motives but you couldn’t say a word."

Qingqing nodded, knowing the situation was now under her control, she calmly continued:

"Though my divine technique is powerful, it is not without limits."

"If the opponent’s realm is higher, or they have special protective treasures, I am powerless."

"Gu Haitang’s situation is the latter. During our journey, I couldn’t hear clearly, had no clue about her true intentions."

"But today is different!"

Qingqing stretched out her right hand, where a round, black mass appeared, cute in appearance but emitting an extremely terrifying demonic Qi.

Many guests who’d heard rumors exclaimed in shock when they saw it: "Demonic Embryo!"

Qingqing nodded, "Indeed, it is the Demonic Embryo."

As her hand lifted, the Demonic Embryo transformed into a deep black demonic dragon, in a relatively smaller form, it coiled around its master.

Although Qingqing attempted to restrain the dragon’s aura, it emitted a rolling black demonic Qi from its body, with a heart area pulsating with rainbow hues, and two faintly emerging green horns atop its head, evoking a sense of dread as though facing a destined nemesis.

Gu Haitang immediately turned and said, "The demoness has ill intentions! I ask the two Masters Zhenren to subdue her."

Yumingzi, hearing this, glanced at Fuyunzi beside him, showing some interest.

Fuyunzi, however, frowned slightly and shook his head, "Let’s see what happens first."

Chu Xuan also looked at Qingqing with suspicion, not understanding her intentions.

"Gu Haitang, you are too guilty," Qingqing said unhurriedly.

She then pulled a dagger from her bosom and actually stabbed it toward her own heart!

Chu Xuan reached out, almost exclaiming aloud, yet Qingqing controlled her strength so well, only paling slightly as she endured the pain and withdrew the dagger.

The tip of the dagger was now adorned with a drop of heart blood, radiating a rainbow glow.

The demonic dragon revealed a greedy look but remained restrained, refraining from devouring it.
