NOVEL NEXT Chapter 122: The Pain Is Not Over Yet
“It’s wonderful, hahaha, Ye Xuan has finally saved Hu Qian’er…”
“It’s great, sob… Ye Xuan’s efforts have finally paid off.”
“Yu Ling’er’s sacrifice was not in vain–!”
At this moment, the disciples in the Jade Fox Palace were deeply moved.Although it seemed that Ye Xuan had given too much along the way, even sacrificing Yu Ling’er because of his choices, his efforts ultimately were not in vain.
He managed to rescue Hu Qian’er, and all the efforts he made were worthwhile to Ye Xuan. At least, even if Ye Xuan truly goes to the underworld later and meets Yu Ling’er, he can now face her calmly.
The fate of this couple may not be as everyone wishes, but for them, they got what they sought.Their lives are now without regrets.
“People from the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion are so handsome–!!!”
“Too bad, they were just a step too late.”
“There was nothing that could be done about it… Just as Ye Xuan thought, he could never wait for the help of cultivators. Because before the cultivators could arrive, Lu Gu would surely have killed Hu Qian’er. He gambled on such an outcome, and it was truly divine protection.”
“Was he really protected by the heavens?”
After the excitement, everyone fell silent.
“Uh… Ultimate Desire Devouring Gu?!” At this moment, watching the scene on the screen, Hu Qianzao’s mind recalled some unpleasant memories.
She had also been subjected to the Ultimate Desire Devouring Curse by Ye Xuan in the future. Although she didn’t know if the Ultimate Desire Devouring Curse was the same thing as the curse that was used on her, the pain it brought was absolutely unbearable–!!!
She, who was once the lofty master of the Jade Fox Palace, eventually succumbed to such a vile curse and begged Ye Xuan for mercy.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan had also been affected by such gu techniques…A flicker of sympathy emerged in Hu Qianzao’s heart.
Wait–!!! Suddenly, she came to her senses. This wasn’t the time to feel sympathy for Ye Xuan. Wasn’t she here to seek revenge on Ye Xuan?
How did it suddenly turn into her feeling sympathy for Ye Xuan?!!
Bah, Ye Xuan from a previous life might deserve sympathy, but this life’s Ye Xuan?Absolutely not–!!!
Thinking this, she cast a disdainful glance at Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan, receiving Hu Qianzao’s disdainful gaze, secretly sneered. You keep disdaining.The groundwork had already been laid; next, just don’t be moved enough to call me ‘father’.

In the image.
Far from Jianghua City, in the extreme west, there is a place called Xi Hua Mountain. Xi Hua Mountain is located in a harsh cold environment, permanently covered by glaciers that have not melted for thousands of years.
From the Ninth Heaven above to the ten thousand-zhang glaciers below.It is said that this place is a conduit between the higher realms and the mortal world, and even an emperor once had a massive altar built at the top of Xi Hua Mountain to welcome the descent of immortals.
Here, mortals seeking to inquire about their fate with immortals are not in short supply. However, beneath Xi Hua Mountain, there is an ice valley that hasn’t melted for billions of years.
Mortals naturally cannot descend there, and even cultivators wouldn’t idle away their time by going down to this ice valley for fun.This place can be said to be a desolate land where no one has been for billions of years.
However, at this moment, beneath the ten thousand-zhang icy abyss of Xi Hua Mountain, suddenly, a green spiritual light appeared above the ice. The light dispersed, revealing two figures. These two figures, one male and one female, were both dressed very lightly. If not Ye Xuan and Hu Qian’er, then who?
Ye Xuan did not know that the curse technique Lu Gu transmitted to him had such miraculous effects, that it actually transported him and Hu Qian’er here.
However, before he could take in the surroundings, the next moment, intense pain assaulted him.
Thud–!!!
Ye Xuan couldn’t help but kneel on the ground, clutching his chest. “Ah–!!!” He screamed in agony.
“Where is this?!!” Compared to Ye Xuan’s painful screams, Hu Qian’er was much better off. She only felt a bit cold and unconsciously hugged her arms, shivering slightly.
The next moment, she saw Ye Xuan. Immediately, a flash of hatred flickered in Hu Qian’er’s eyes. Ye Xuan, this despicable rogue, his betrayal led to Ling’er’s death.
If he hadn’t dishonored his father’s concubine, Hui Niang, he wouldn’t have been stripped of his martial abilities and thrown into prison. Yu Ling’er wouldn’t have despaired over her feelings for him and taken her own life–!
This despicable rogue.
But…
The next moment, thinking of how Ye Xuan had blocked that monster’s attack for her, she couldn’t help but feel puzzled. Why would this despicable rogue save her?
As she pondered this, Ye Xuan was already writhing on the ground in agony, screaming terribly.
“Ah–!!!”
The Ultimate Desire Devouring Gu is acting up, what kind of pain is this? At this moment, Ye Xuan can no longer contemplate this question.
To outsiders, he might appear like any other person being tortured, all screaming in pain. However, for him, he wishes he could just rid himself of his hands, feet, body, heart, liver, all his organs, everything.
It feels like every part of his body is being forcibly peeled away, especially around the heart, where there is a sensation of being scorched by a toxic fire. This excruciating pain causes Ye Xuan to howl continuously, as it seems to slightly relieve his agony.
His heart is pleading for this pain to end quickly.Yet, he can’t make it stop. He can’t even die; the intense pain has already drained all the strength from his body.
It’s as if his heart has turned into a nest of insects, with countless venomous bugs gnawing at his heart, and after finishing with the heart, they move on to other parts of his body, his organs…He even feels as if he can smell the rotting flesh coming from his own body.
“You… are you alright?!!” Despite wishing inside that Ye Xuan would die, Hu Qian’er remembers that Ye Xuan had just saved her.
Moreover, Hu Qian’er feels that Ye Xuan’s current suffering might be related to the green light he blocked for her. So, she can’t help but show concern for Ye Xuan.
“Ah–!!!” Ye Xuan screams, pleading with Hu Qian’er, “Please… kill me… just kill me… I can’t take it anymore, it hurts so much… please kill me–!!!”
“Uh…” Seeing Ye Xuan like this, Hu Qian’er became even more worried. What kind of pain must it be to make Ye Xuan so miserable?! Just by looking at him, she can feel how unbearable the pain he was experiencing must be.
————
As they watch the scene of Ye Xuan, everyone in the Jade Fox Palace couldn’t help but swallow hard. They can hear Ye Xuan’s inner voice. Although they can’t hear exactly what he is thinking, they feel a sense of empathy.
It seems they can somewhat understand the agony Ye Xuan is enduring…
“Is this the power of the Ultimate Desire Devouring Gu? It’s really terrifying–!”
“Woo… how scary… Ye Xuan was tortured and broken before, but he never screamed as miserably as now.”
“What kind of pain is he enduring right now–!!!”
“…”
Meanwhile, the senior stewards of the Jade Fox Palace, Xingxing and Yu Luo, watching the scene of Ye Xuan and recalling the images they had seen before, couldn’t help but look puzzled.
Could this Ultimate Desire Devouring Gu be related to the Heart Devouring Curse that Ye Xuan later placed on his own sister?
Thinking this, they turned their gaze towards Hu Qianzao. At this moment, Hu Qianzao seems to be recalling past events, involuntarily trembling with the pain.
Just the memory of that pain is enough to make her, a high and mighty figure, show such an expression.
And yet, in the image, Ye Xuan is still experiencing that kind of pain.
“Hey, stop pretending–!!!” Seeing Ye Xuan continuously screaming and rolling on the ground, Hu Qian’er said to him, “Don’t think that just because you’re acting like this I won’t dare to kill you. What kind of cursed place have you brought me to–!!!”
“Kill me, just kill me–!!!” Hearing this, Ye Xuan, enduring the pain with blood-red eyes and looking utterly miserable, pleaded with Hu Qian’er, “I beg you, just kill me–!!!”
“You–!!!” Seeing Ye Xuan like this, Hu Qian’er’s heart softened even more. The light emanating from Ye Xuan must be the source of his agony.Ye Xuan suffered this pain because he blocked an attack for her. How could she remain indifferent?
But what can she do now?!! After thinking it over, she finally made up her mind, walks over to Ye Xuan, and points a finger at his fainting point.
However, it was completely useless…Ye Xuan’s screams continued.
“…”
Watching the miserable Ye Xuan, Hu Qian’er felt somewhat frightened. Even making him pass out couldn’t stop his pain…
What kind of pain is this?!!
If that green light had hit her, she could hardly imagine what state she would be in right now. At this moment, she can’t help Ye Xuan, she can only quietly watch from the side.
Who knows how long it would take, but eventually, Ye Xuan’s screams ended. He layed quietly on the ice surface, his previously healed injuries, due to the intense struggle, have reopened.
Fresh red blood flows from his clothes onto the ice surface, quickly freezing into blood crystals…Hu Qian’er, watching Ye Xuan’s miserable state, felt even more pity in her eyes.
This despicable guy, why did he save her, making her now neither able to hate him nor feel sympathy for him. Truly detestable–!!!
