The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife

That day, Chu Xuan was holding Jiang Yiyi in the Ancestral Hall, first she fell asleep. The sunshine was just right, and it felt warm on the body, so he also got a bit sleepy and followed suit.

After half a day, a rather awkward scene occurred:

The headmaster brought several elders to the Ancestral Hall of the Supreme to burn a few sticks of incense, and discuss some matters by the way.

Then they saw a man and a woman leaning against the altar asleep, with a senior’s memorial tablet casually thrown on the ground collecting dust.

The shock on the elders’ faces was obvious, and what followed was anger.

"This, this, this, what kind of propriety is this?!" An old man with a white beard was so furious that his beard trembled and he glared.

"Nephew, look at this, what kind of words are these!" A purple-robed old lady also had an unpleasant expression.

With all the commotion they caused, Chu Xuan finally woke up.

Heaven bless him, if it were outside, he would have woken up long ago, but this was inside the Taoist Palace’s Ancestral Hall, where his mind was relaxed and he didn’t think anything dangerous would happen, only noise got through to him and roused him.

As for Jiang Yiyi, she was sleeping soundly.

Seeing his master’s somewhat awkward expression, Chu Xuan hurriedly got up, first put the ancestor aside, then set the tablet back in the altar, just about to explain a few words when he heard someone outside reporting, it was the voice of the little junior brother:

"Reporting to the headmaster, there is a young lady outside the mountain gate looking for senior brother, but he can’t be found, how should we handle this?"

For a moment, the gaze of the elders became even more peculiar towards Chu Xuan.

Floating Cloud Master took the opportunity to change the topic, "Could it be those two old acquaintances?"

"No, it’s a stranger, looking sixteen or seventeen, very beautiful."

Chu Xuan was bewildered, who could it be this time?

However, the elders’ gazes were becoming increasingly disapproving, as if they were looking at a disciple who was sullying the sect’s reputation, he hurriedly dashed out, not forgetting to cup his hands towards the elders.

"I’m here! I’m here! I’ll handle it right away."

With so much noise, even Jiang Yiyi who could sleep through anything couldn’t help but frown, she rubbed her eyes and woke up saying:

"What’s all the fuss about? Can’t people have a good sleep in the middle of the night?"

Floating Cloud Master coughed, just about to speak, but Jiang Yiyi suddenly paused, as if coming to her senses, "A beautiful girl looking for Chu Xuan? No way, I have to check it out."

So she scrambled up too, but the elders blocked her, wanting to discuss etiquette matters with her and warn her about being too close with junior disciples.

Jiang Yiyi wasn’t in the mood to listen to them now, saying "Got it" each time, she slipped out from under their arms, leaving them helpless.

...

When Chu Xuan and the little junior brother arrived at the bluestone steps, the guest had already been waiting at the mountain gate for quite some time.

Watching the little girl’s figure from afar, Chu Xuan was truly surprised, how could it be her?!

He was about to go down to greet her, but unexpectedly, a figure flying on a cloud rushed out faster than him, out through the mountain gate in a blink.

Chu Xuan was startled and hurriedly chased after.

"Ah!" A sharp scream was heard, then... the person was gone, leaving only a bewildered Jiang Yiyi standing at the entrance, reaching out with both hands and holding empty air.

Chu Xuan had a headache, he stepped forward and pulled Jiang Yiyi back, "Can you not act chaotically? She is very timid."

Jiang Yiyi paused then protested, "This isn’t my fault, I was just trying to warmly welcome the guest, who knew she’d react so strongly?"

"Um, please don’t bully me."

A young girl dressed in colorful clothes with sparkling dragon horns on her head, unbeknownst to anyone, appeared from behind a large tree, peeking out with tears glimmering in her eyes, clearly she was really frightened.

Her appearance had changed instantly, the dragon horns had also grown, it was obvious that she had transformed into a dragon form to escape earlier, now she hurriedly shifted back to human form without much thought.

Indeed, this person was the youngest daughter of the East Sea Dragon King, Tangtai Xiang.

Oh no, to be accurate, we should call her "Chu Xiang’er", that’s what Chu Xuan had promised to let her use his surname the last time.

"Xiang’er, don’t be afraid, this is my elder, though her personality is rather lively, she means no harm."

Chu Xuan said with a sincere look in his eyes, slowly walked forward, and extended his right hand towards her.

Chu Xiang’er timidly glanced at him, having not seen him for years, she still missed him very much, in the end she stepped out bit by bit and placed her small hand in his palm, it was soft and weak, slightly sweaty in the palm, indicating her nervousness.

Chu Xuan then finally felt relieved, leading Xiang’er back under the mountain gate.

Jiang Yiyi seemed very curious about her, coming closer while sniffing, "This is the scent of a dragon, which family are you from? Even Four Sea Dragon Kings must respectfully salute upon seeing me."

Chu Xiang’er nervously hid behind Chu Xuan, saying nothing.

Chu Xuan said helplessly, "Alright, alright, she’s a guest no matter what, let’s talk inside."

So, the four of them proceeded to the guest hall, Moon Bathing Hall, there Ye Xingming quietly inquired about the guest’s background from senior brother, before reporting back to the headmaster.

With Jiang Yiyi nearby "watching", following them with an interested gaze, Xiang’er stuck very close to Chu Xuan, making it difficult for him to sit down, as they couldn’t very well squeeze into the same chair, could they?

"How about Master you go play somewhere else first?"

"I don’t want to!" This time it was Jiang Yiyi’s turn to be angry and aggrieved, "Chu Xuan, have you forgotten the old love in favor of the new one?"

Chu Xuan rushed to cover her mouth, "Oh my ancestor, you can’t say things like that casually, if anyone hears it, I might be expelled from the sect."
