The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife

But soon, Qingqing became worried again. She used to say, "I hate men who love every woman they meet," but now that she’s fallen for him, what should she do?

She then recalled that Chu Xuan still refused to forgive her, which made her feel even more sorrowful.

At this moment, seeing Gu Haitang beckon her forward, Qingqing naturally took the lead without hesitation.

This time, with Yao Yufei personally bringing people here and the [Devour Abyss Demon Dragon] secured at Qingqing’s waist, she was not afraid of any sect.

It’s worth mentioning that Ancestor Youxu passed away six years ago, much earlier than anticipated by outsiders.

Furthermore, since then, his great-grandson Li Chengfeng has made significant progress, now at the fifth realm cultivation, sparking speculation inside and outside the sect, with rumors suggesting that beneath that skin is no longer the original person.

Seeing Qingqing suddenly fly toward the Dao Palace without so much as a greeting, the man in the black Xuanming armor just looked quietly, saying nothing.

Yao Yufei was somewhat unsettled, unsure of why, even after calculating, she couldn’t predict anything, just hoping her foolish daughter would cause less trouble for her.

...

"Chu..." Qingqing nervously flew to Chu Xuan, barely able to call out his name before a voice suddenly sounded:

"Oh~ Is this sister Duanmu?"

Qingqing saw a woman in green swiftly cling to Chu Xuan’s arm, looking at her with a friendly and kind smile.

This made Qingqing grit her teeth slightly as she asked, "Who are you?"

On the other side, Gu Haitang’s expression also changed. Wasn’t Chu Xuan supposed to have closed off his heart, loving no one? How come there’s suddenly a stunning beauty next to him?

Qinger didn’t mind Qingqing’s tone, merely smiling as she said, "I’m A Qing from Heavens Hollow, Chu Xuan’s fiancée."

"What?!" Qingqing shouted in disbelief.

Everyone at Dao Palace turned to look, while Heavens Hollow was embarrassed, with people around speculating, wondering who Chu Xuan really was to attract so many women to him?

"Don’t talk nonsense." Chu Xuan, feeling a headache, immediately withdrew his hand from her embrace.

Qinger then made a mischievous smile, "Just joking, but Master did indeed betroth me to him. We’ve been quite happy together this past half year. Sister Duanmu, you must come to our wedding."

Qingqing desperately wanted to tear apart her hypocritical face, but she merely glared at her without responding, instead looking at Chu Xuan:

"Long time no see. Are you, are you well?"

Chu Xuan nodded, not saying much more.

Seeing the little snow mink in his arms, both Gu Haitang and Qingqing were surprised, fearing Chu Xuan had reconciled with his master. Fortunately, Ji Mingyu was nowhere in sight at the moment.

"She, who is she really..." Qingqing couldn’t resist asking about Qinger, still unable to believe Chu Xuan would quickly fall for someone new and abandon them, his old flames.

"I met her as a friend due to circumstances at Heavens Hollow."

Chu Xuan’s concise reply relieved Qingqing; "friend" explained everything, most likely this shameless woman was self-pursuing.

But once those words were out, Qinger bit her lips, her eyes reddening. Struggling to smile, she said, "Accompany her; it doesn’t matter to me... I’m used to being alone anyway."

Seeing she was about to leave, knowing she was pretending, Chu Xuan couldn’t deny that calling her a "friend" after having been intimate seemed somewhat scoundrel-like and shameless.

So Chu Xuan silently held her hand, which made Qingqing feel conflicted and uncomfortable; what a dead scoundrel!

Qinger changed expressions faster than flipping a book, quickly smiling again, "Sister Duanmu is so adorable, you must have many suitors, right? But... they’ll all find out eventually that maturity is better."

"What do you mean?" Qingqing’s temper immediately flared up, was she covertly insulting her for being immature?

Qinger seemed a bit frightened, retreating behind Chu Xuan, murmuring to him, "She’s so fierce."

This made Qingqing even angrier; what kind of a shameless woman was she?!

"Enough." Chu Xuan also felt helpless; Qingqing’s pure nature couldn’t possibly compete with this woman, easily agitated by a few words.

Qinger appeared innocent, as if everything was unrelated to her.

"Chu Xuan, you, I," Qingqing struggled to find the words, finally saying, "You can’t be with such a hypocritical woman."

Qinger curiously asked, "Sister Duanmu, on what grounds, are you saying this?"

"To my knowledge, there’s no longer any relationship between you and Chu Xuan, right?"

This hit Qingqing right in her sore spot, her face turned pale, "That doesn’t concern you."

Qinger lightly laughed, "You think he still loves you? Last night he said in my bed... oh!" She suddenly covered her mouth, "I can’t say that."

This statement frightened and angered Qingqing, tears immediately filled her eyes.

The surrounding people, hearing such bold words, were incredulous, many at Dao Palace were stunned, Heavens Hollow was embarrassed, and the rest were watching the drama with excitement, whispering among themselves.

Gu Haitang, seeing Qingqing falling into this vile woman’s rhythm, already somewhat sympathetic, could barely resist helping her.

Upon hearing this, she felt further unable to hold back!

Qingqing, how could you be so naive? She’s definitely lying to you, let me reason with this shameless woman.

But before Gu Haitang could roll up her sleeves and jump in, Qinger was forcibly separated from Chu Xuan.

The one intervening was a charming young girl in a goose-yellow long skirt, who looked at Qinger seriously, "You’re too cruel. I can’t leave Chu Xuan in your hands. Please go back."

Qinger appeared bewildered, seemingly not anticipating someone to suddenly intervene.

She was about to speak when Jiang Yiyi pressed a hand over her mouth, preventing her from saying anything.

Qinger furrowed her brow, immediately pushing away the hand; how dare anyone treat her this boldly over the years as a prominent eighth realm cultivator?

"Qinger, enough." Chu Xuan looked at her earnestly.

Moreover, Li Fanzhou had somehow floated behind Jiang Yiyi, coldly watching her.

Qingqing had already stopped crying, looking touched. She hadn’t expected Chu Xuan’s ancestor to stand up for her.

Even Ji Mingyu secretly applauded, glad someone was able to cut this green tea bitch’s arrogance.

Seeing the situation turn unfavorable for herself, Qinger naturally wouldn’t force it but pitifully nodded.

However, she didn’t leave, just stood aside, not speaking again.

Chu Xuan gently patted Qingqing’s shoulder, softly saying, "Alright, now’s not the time to talk, let’s head back."

Clearly, it was just an insignificant gesture, but Qingqing felt warmth in her heart, obediently nodding on the surface while secretly transmitting sound:

"Be careful, after all, many people are here for the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable."

"There’s a rumor out there that if he’s really not dead, he’ll likely show up."

"This is also what Gu Haitang wants to remind you of, she can’t conveniently come here, so I’m saying it on her behalf."

Chu Xuan was slightly surprised; had Haitang told Qingqing all this?

It seems their relationship is better than he imagined, no longer a mortal enemy scenario, which is a good thing.

He discreetly nodded, watching Qingqing leave in farewell.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Qingqing returned, the Shangguan clan sent people over!

The two clan elders leading were the same ones from the previous wedding, which ended unpleasantly.

Now, they appeared somewhat apologetic, seemingly wishing to mend relations.

But Chu Xuan remained slightly cautious, although he had previously analyzed their behavior to suggest they shouldn’t be exposed, if they were, they would have acted long ago.

Yet he stayed secretly vigilant, determined not to be careless.
