NOVEL NEXT Chapter 133: This Development Doesn’t Seem Right
The disciples of the Jade Fox Palace watched the events unfolding in the scene, and their faces couldn’t help but twitch.
This is awkward–!!! Ye Xuan clearly doesn’t like you, but you insist on saying that he does like you. Okay, now Ye Xuan might actually think he likes you. What should we do now?
——–
This time, Yuchen’s Mystic Dream Technique was directly cast through Ye Xuan as the medium, so everything was from Ye Xuan’s perspective. There were no inner thoughts in the Mystic Dream Technique, so only Ye Xuan’s actions could be seen.
From Ye Xuan’s point of view, he had indeed done a lot for Hu Qian’er. He had gone to the Hu Residence for her, voluntarily fell into traps for her, blocked the malicious curses for her, fed her his blood, cut his own flesh for her…
He even endured all the injustices for her. From this perspective, it really seemed like Ye Xuan loved Hu Qian’er enough to give everything for her.
“Wuwu… Ye Xuan, I’m sorry–!!!” Through Ye Xuan’s perspective, Hu Qian’er once again saw how important she was in Ye Xuan’s eyes. Ye Xuan had already regarded her as everything. But she hadn’t repaid Ye Xuan in the slightest…
She truly owed Ye Xuan too much, far too much. This time, she must repay Ye Xuan properly.
“…” Watching the things he did in the scene, Ye Xuan also had a look of emotion on his face. “I didn’t expect… I actually died once, and I loved you to this extent…”
He hugged Hu Qian’er and said firmly, “Qian’er, don’t worry. Although I haven’t recovered my memories yet and don’t have the same strong feelings for you as before, I will still treat you well as I did before.”
“…” Hearing this, Hu Qian’er’s face blushed slightly. She nodded gently and said, “Um, I believe you. I will also treat you well. Would you like to marry me, Ye Xuan?”
“Of course.” Ye Xuan said, “Although I don’t remember, you are still my fiancée.”
“Cough–!” At this moment, Yuchen awkwardly cleared his throat and said, “Um, if things are settled, you should leave quickly. I am a cultivator of purity and cannot tolerate your lovey-dovey affairs, which affect cultivation.”
“Hehe…” Hu Qian’er chuckled awkwardly and said, “Then I thank Elder Yuchen. When I marry Ye Xuan in the future, I hope Elder Yuchen can spare some time to come to our residence and have a drink with several other elders.”
“If there’s a chance, I will definitely come.” Yuchen smiled.
“By the way, I can withdraw the person-seeking bounty I posted earlier.” Hu Qian’er said again, “Leave those rewards as the activity funds for the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion.”
“In that case, thank you, Miss Hu, for your generosity.” Yuchen smiled warmly.
“Thank you, Elder Yuchen, for taking care of my affairs.” Ye Xuan also bowed to Yuchen, then he left with Hu Qian’er.

At this moment, the disciples of the Jade Fox Palace twitched even more violently. They all turned their gaze to Hu Qianzao, as if they were looking at her with contempt.
Clearly, it was Yu Linger who helped her, but she forcibly intervened in their love affair, making Ye Xuan think he liked her, and completely disregarded Yu Linger.
“Cough–!!!” Hu Qianzao coughed awkwardly and said, “Why are you all looking at me like that? It’s not my fault–!!!”
The cat woman Xing shook her head and said, “We understand, but, Big Sister, you’re a bit too self-righteous in your past life. This misunderstanding is too big.”
Yu Luo also said, “Yeah, once Ye Xuan remembers everything, how awkward will it be?”
With that said, everyone’s gaze turned to Ye Xuan. They were all curious whether the current Ye Xuan remembered the things from his past life.
If Ye Xuan had already remembered his past life, the former palace lord Hu Qian’er would be extremely embarrassed.
Although she knew it was something she did in her past life, Hu Qianzao couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed at this moment. She even felt hesitant to make eye contact with Ye Xuan. So, she shifted her gaze back to the scene unfolding before her.
————
During this period, Ye Xuan found that he was growing fonder of Hu Qian’er by the day. Although he had no memory of the past events, this made everything in this world feel strange to him.
At this moment, there was a woman willing to give him all her tenderness. Whatever he wanted to do, she tried her best to make it happen. She was truly good to him.
Who wouldn’t like such a beautiful, gentle woman? However, what made Ye Xuan helpless was that because Hu Qian’er had eaten his flesh before his reincarnation, she was also infected with the Ultimate Desire Devouring Gu.
Every time the curse struck, Hu Qian’er suffered unbearably. Seeing her in pain, Ye Xuan felt as if his heart was being torn apart. Even as an immortal cultivator, it seemed there was no solution to the curse afflicting Hu Qian’er.
In order to treat her, Ye Xuan took her away from Jianghua City to the Southern Frontier, where the most practitioners of Gu techniques were rumored to reside.
During this period, they spent their days together, deepening their bond. Sometimes they watched the streams, sometimes the flowers in the mountains, and sometimes rested in the shade of trees.
At these times, Hu Qian’er would wipe Ye Xuan’s sweat, and Ye Xuan would offer her water. They exchanged affectionate glances, brimming with love.
————
Watching the increasingly sweet days depicted in the scenes, the members of the Jade Fox Palace no longer felt the initial sense of discord. Although Ye Xuan’s love for Hu Qian’er stemmed from a misunderstanding, at this moment, he genuinely liked her.
Moreover, Ye Xuan and Hu Qian’er were indeed engaged, and with the misunderstanding cleared, they were meant to be together. Although it was pitiful for Yu Ling’er, as mentioned before, having multiple spouses wasn’t uncommon for men.
It just meant Yu Ling’er had to wait a little longer at the Naihe Bridge. At least let Ye Xuan and Hu Qian’er enjoy this happy time together…
Whenever they saw the relaxed and happy interaction between Ye Xuan and Hu Qian’er in the scenes, everyone couldn’t help but smile, revealing an aunt-like expression.
This period of time seemed much more enjoyable compared to the previous heaviness.
“Actually, watching Ye Xuan and Hu Qian’er together now isn’t bad at all. Hu Qian’er loves him so much, and he loves her too…”
“Yes, their relationship is really good. It’s so enviable. I wish I had a lover like Ye Xuan…”
Saying so, a female disciple of the Jade Fox Palace involuntarily cast her gaze towards Ye Xuan. Then, she quickly blushed and withdrew her gaze.
———
“The poison she’s afflicted with is the Ultimate Desire Devouring Gu… There’s no solution to this poison in the world.” At this moment, a highly respected Gu master from the Southern Frontier sighed and said to Ye Xuan. “What?!” Hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but look nervous. “What should we do? What will happen to her?!”
“The intervals of the poison’s attacks will become shorter and shorter, until she dies in agony.” The Gu master spoke.
“Grandma, do you have any other way?!” Ye Xuan asked the Gu master, “Regardless of the method, as long as it can save Qian’er, I’m willing to do anything!!!”
“Brother Ye… Please don’t.” Hu Qian’er said to Ye Xuan, “In this life, being able to spend time with you… is already very satisfying…” As she spoke, tears were already streaming down her face. How could she bear to part with Ye Xuan so soon?
“If you want to save her, there is a way.” However, just when both Hu Qian’er and Ye Xuan looked desperate, the Gu master spoke again, “Although there’s no solution to the Ultimate Desire Devouring Insect, it’s just a parasite on the soul. By using the Yin-Yang Flame from the depths of the Southern Frontier, you can force it out of her soul.”
“But this method comes with great risks. Firstly, burning the soul carries the risk of memory loss, and secondly, the place where the Yin-Yang Flame are located is the exit of the Wheel of Reincarnation.”
“Once inside, one must be reborn through reincarnation, which is equivalent to being reborn. Although it’s not the same as reincarnation, if one accidentally loses their memory, there’s no difference…”
“Are you willing to let her undergo this pain of burning her soul?”
“I’m not willing!” Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan shook his head without hesitation, “Since it’s still a form of reincarnation, why make Qian’er suffer such pain again before being reincarnated? It’s better to let her slowly…”
He paused for a moment, then continued, “In the next life, I will find her, life after life, I will never give up on her.”
“Brother Ye… I don’t want…” However, Hu Qian’er said, “I don’t want to die. I’ve endured all kinds of pain, so what’s there to fear about burning with Yin-Yang Flame? If I die, I’ll be gone, with nothing left…”
“I’m different from you. If you die, you can be reborn, but if I die, I won’t be myself anymore. If there’s a chance for reincarnation, I’d rather be reborn, even if it’s a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times more painful than death…”
“I don’t want to be separated from you, Brother Ye, please… let me go.” She pleaded with Ye Xuan tearfully.
Watching Hu Qian’er like this, Ye Xuan gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, you go, and I’ll go with you.”
“No!” Hu Qian’er hurriedly said, “Brother Ye, if you’re also reborn, our fate… will be severed, and we won’t be able to find each other again in the future… You can’t go.”
———
The disciples of the Jade Fox Palace were in tears again. They didn’t expect the relationship between Hu Qian’er and Ye Xuan to be so touching.
Originating from a misunderstanding, their love was still deeply moving. What is love in this world? It truly makes people willing to live and die for each other.
