The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife

Chapter 295: Chapter 154: Foolish Child

His voice was hoarse and desperate.

After finishing the last sentence, Chu Xuan coldly shook off her hand and turned around, step by step, walking down the altar.

The sky suddenly began to snow again, and the snowfall grew heavier, turning Chu Xuan’s festive red robe white in an instant.

With an expressionless face, he clasped his hands towards the guests: "Due to my mistake today, the wedding encountered some changes; this marriage cannot proceed for now. I apologize to you all, and have caused embarrassment to our sect."

"I hope when you mention this incident after leaving today, you will only say it was my, Chu Xuan’s fault, for not seeing people clearly, unrelated to the sect, and especially unrelated to my master."

"Everyone, please now disperse. I, Chu Xuan, will apologize another day."

The guests sighed deeply upon hearing this, never expecting today’s lively and joyous occasion would end in such an embarrassingly awkward way for both sides.

Their gazes towards Chu Xuan held much sympathy, knowing how much inner pain he must be enduring, yet forcing himself to stand up and calmly handle the aftermath, just in hopes of leaving some face for the sect.

Thus, though they wanted to stay to see this drama through, at this point, they rose one after another, clasping hands to bid farewell to the host, their expressions showing pity and comfort, seldom accusing.

Those who were particularly dissatisfied largely were so due to dissatisfaction with Purple Heaven Jade Mansion and the Shangguan family’s behavior, even sneering coldly before getting up to leave.

Just at this moment, Gu Haitang, who was originally kneeling and crying on the altar, suddenly flew down, turning into a stream of light, lunging toward the pale Qingqing.

"I want to kill you, I want to kill you!"

Haitang was utterly shattered, having nothing left, now only wanting to drag Qingqing, the culprit, down to die together!

"Enough!" Chu Xuan turned and shouted angrily.

Gu Haitang ultimately stopped in front of Qingqing, her right hand, which was originally reaching for Qingqing’s throat, suspended motionless in the air.

However, Qingqing could no longer support herself and suddenly fell straight backward, even the demonic dragon coiling around her side slumped, turning into a black stream of light, shrinking into the pouch at her waist.

As mentioned before, the demonic embryo was merely mature, not truly born, essentially still a fetus.

At this moment, Qingqing forcibly overdraws its power, using the Secret Technique to enhance herself, urging the potential of the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart.

The effect was excellent, but the result was that the demonic embryo’s power became exhausted and weak.

Even Qingqing herself fell into an even weaker state, due to forcibly enhancing herself with far superior demonic embryo power and excessively squeezing her body’s potential.

Before she fell, Chu Xuan suddenly appeared behind her out of thin air, holding her in his arms.

Qingqing barely reached out her hand, hoping to touch Chu Xuan’s face, her eyes glimmering with hope, but she only managed to say "I" before losing consciousness.

Tears streaming, Chu Xuan used trembling hands to touch her cheek, and then said in a choked voice, "I’ll leave her to you."

Yao Yufei appeared behind the two at some point, nodded, took the daughter from Chu Xuan’s hands, turned, and left Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace.

Watching this, everyone knew today’s farce had finally concluded, and without lingering, they rose to bid farewell.

The Daoist Palace disciples escorted each one, performing the final etiquette, even returning their congratulatory gifts one by one, showing no desire to take advantage.

....

After the drama ended and the guests dispersed, only those of Purple Heaven Jade Mansion, the Shangguan family, and Primordial Monarch Taixu remained.

Gu Haitang continually gazed towards Chu Xuan with silent tears, while Chu Xuan remained expressionless, his hands folded, watching the mountain gate, witnessing guests escorted out.

"Chu Xuan, listen to me..."

Gu Haitang choked, cautiously reaching out from behind to grasp his sleeve.

Tears still marked his face, but Chu Xuan turned away, coldly extended a sword finger, severing that section of sleeve.

"Miss Gu, no, Miss Shangguan, from this day forward, you and I are no longer involved."

Haitang’s tears fell like a broken string, kneeling loudly crying in the snow.

Chu Xuan never looked back at her again, walking away in the heavy snowfall, straight ahead, until he disappeared from sight.

"Thick earth and high sky, lamenting endless emotions throughout time; passionate men and grieving women, pitifully unable to repay debts owed to love and the moon."

Floating Cloud Elder shook his head, sighed, "Ah, a foolish child, a foolish child."
