Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness - Chapter 144: Why Did Ye Xuan Do This?

At this moment, Hu Qianzao’s mood was very conflicted. She understood that the people of the Jade Fox Palace shouldn’t have any unnecessary sympathy for Ye Xuan.

But unconsciously, she herself had begun to feel pity for Ye Xuan. As Hu Qianzao, she already owed Ye Xuan a debt of affection that had long been unpaid.

Although she hadn’t awakened Hu Qian’ers memories, the thought of everything Ye Xuan had done for her still weighed heavily on her heart.

Why would someone who loved her so much do such excessive things? She couldn’t delve into it…

But she knew that without a good explanation, the people of the Jade Fox Palace would definitely not let Ye Xuan off. She also couldn’t easily let Ye Xuan go, but in her heart, she wanted to.

However, she also had to consider the people of the Jade Fox Palace. So, in the end, she gave up the idea of ​​letting Ye Xuan go directly. Although she knew everything Ye Xuan had done for her, she was now the Lady of the Jade Fox Palace.

She didn’t have much empathy for Hu Qian’ers memories. So, she chose to trust her own decision rather than the past between Hu Qian’er and Ye Xuan.

Seeing Hu Qianzao nod, Rui Bai also breathed a sigh of relief. Honestly, before, he had been thinking that if Ye Xuan was only between him and the Lady, if there was any misunderstanding, he could still say a few good things for Ye Xuan.

But now, this was no longer a personal grudge. Ye Xuan had actually led many evil cultivators into the Jade Fox Palace soon after. The Jade Fox Palace suffered heavy casualties?

This matter was not just a private grudge between Ye Xuan and Hu Qianzao. There might be some conspiracy against the Jade Fox Palace. He had to be cautious.

If Ye Xuan was really involved in such a conspiracy, even if Hu Qianzao said she wanted to let Ye Xuan go, he wouldn’t agree.

“Phew!”

The people of the Jade Fox Palace also breathed a sigh of relief. From everything that had happened just now, they were willing to believe Ye Xuan.

But being willing to believe was one thing, and such a big matter couldn’t be ignored with just a simple belief.

Even the smallest child understood that at such times, one couldn’t let emotions rule. Otherwise, with one misstep, the Jade Fox Palace might face destruction.

“Did Ye Xuan really do such a thing?”

“How… How is this possible? What’s going on?!”

Several disciples of the Jade Fox Palace whispered cautiously.

“Yeah… You know, Ye Xuan is willing to sacrifice his life for our Lady. He cares for our Lady so much, how could he…”

“We’ll only know after we see it.”

In the midst of the discussion, everyone’s gaze turned back to the scene.

———

“If that wanderer knew that I couldn’t sleep all night because I agreed to meet him at West Lake… he would surely be very pleased.” At this moment, Hu Qianzao was waiting quietly at the West Lake ferry crossing.

However, thinking about how she had been secretly excited all night because of meeting Ye Xuan, she felt a bit embarrassed. She was the dignified young lady of the Jade Fox Palace, and he was just a disciple of the Taihua Immortal Sect.

There was no reason for her to be excited or nervous about meeting him.

Really…

“That guy is really annoying. He’s already past the agreed time and still making me wait for him?!” After waiting for a while, Hu Qianzao couldn’t help but feel angry. She stomped her foot in frustration.

“Normally, isn’t it supposed to be the man waiting for the woman at this time? I won’t agree to come out with him next time!” That’s what she said, but she didn’t rush to leave.

“Sorry, Qianzao, for keeping you waiting.” Just then, suddenly, a voice sounded in Hu Qianzao’s ear.

She couldn’t help but feel delighted, and her gaze turned in that direction, only to see Ye Xuan smiling at her.

“Ye Xuan—!!!” She was about to show a happy expression, but the next moment, after waiting for so long, she couldn’t help but feel angry.

She suppressed her smile and angrily asked Ye Xuan, “You actually made me wait for you for so long. What were you doing?!”

“Sorry.” Hearing this, Ye Xuan looked embarrassed. “I was making some preparations.”

“Preparations?” Hu Qianzao asked, “What preparations?” She secretly wondered if he was planning to surprise her.

Coincidentally, she also had a surprise to tell him. If he knew she was the young lady of the Jade Fox Palace, he would surely be surprised, hehe.

“I prepared a surprise for you,” Ye Xuan said.

Hu Qianzao felt happy inside but maintained a cold demeanor on the surface. “Oh? A surprise? Let’s see it. If it meets my expectations, I’ll forgive you for making me wait for you for so long. Otherwise, hmph—!!”

“I promise it will satisfy you, hehe.” Ye Xuan said, his expression suddenly turning grim.

Then… he waved his hand, and a green aura shot towards Hu Qianzao.

“!!!” Hu Qianzao’s expression changed drastically. She immediately cast the defensive spells of the Jade Fox Palace to protect herself.

However, at that moment, she felt an unparalleled pain surging through her body. The pain broke through her defense in an instant, causing her to scream in agony and give up resistance.

Then, she was struck by the green light, feeling even more intense pain.

“Ah—!!!” With just one strike, Hu Qianzao couldn’t help but scream in agony on the ground. The scene was eerily similar to when Hu Qianzao was afflicted by the Heart Devouring Gu.

Just watching her roll on the ground in pain and hearing her piercing screams made one’s scalp tingle. Such pain, perhaps no creature in this world could endure it.

Yet, Ye Xuan stood quietly in front of Hu Qianzao, looking coldly at her. Seeing Hu Qianzao in such agony, he couldn’t help but smirk. This evil demeanor was something the old Ye Xuan had never shown before.

———

Watching this scene, everyone in the Jade Fox Palace couldn’t help but widen their eyes.

“Why?!!”

Why did Ye Xuan suddenly do such a thing? Their Lady hadn’t offended him in any way. Even if she hadn’t remembered anything about Ye Xuan in time, it wasn’t her fault.

She had entered the Yin-Yang Flame and had her soul burned. It was possible that she might never remember anything. She was different from Ye Xuan, who truly reincarnated.

It was normal for her to forget things. Just because their lady had been ignoring him for a while, would he turn so cruel against her?!
