The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife

Unexpectedly, Wu Gou Fairy slowed her steps deliberately while walking.

Chu Xuan immediately followed suit and slowed down. To his surprise, she simply stopped walking altogether, leaving him awkwardly standing still.

Only to hear Wu Gou Fairy gently say, "There’s no need to be so restrained, just consider me as an elder from your own family."

Having been told so, Chu Xuan could only agree while positioning himself alongside her, which finally made Wu Gou Fairy nod in satisfaction and continue forward.

Soon, the two of them arrived in the rear hall.

But the arrangement here... was completely different from what Chu Xuan had imagined!

This was a grim room, devoid of any magical artifacts, instead filled with dark instruments stained with rust and dried blood, with walls shackled with millennium-old dark iron chains.

The rest — shackles, cuffs, finger-squeezing devices, branding irons, Soul-Locking Nails, Nine-Pronged Whip, Hundred Veins Needles... were enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

Chu Xuan froze in place and instinctively summoned the Six Souls Banner to his hand.

Almost at the same moment the Six Souls Banner was summoned from his body, Wu Gou Fairy gently grasped Chu Xuan’s wrist.

They were too close! This fairy’s cultivation was frighteningly high, in that instant, Chu Xuan found himself completely unable to move, not to mention wield the Six Souls Banner; he couldn’t even shift his gaze.

"You want to ask if we’ve made a wrong turn?" Wu Gou Fairy softly mused.

"The answer is, no mistake. How could it be mistaken? This is the place I spent many years preparing for you, just waiting for you to fall into my hands~"

Her tone finally changed, merging gentleness with excitement, elegance with a hint of cruelty.

As she spoke, Wu Gou Fairy reached for the Six Souls Banner in Chu Xuan’s hand; unexpectedly, upon contact, her hand shrank back as if scorched, and the treasure retreated back into Chu Xuan’s sea of consciousness.

Leaving him somewhat speechless, imploring it to save him!

Wu Gou Fairy circled to face Chu Xuan, her hand softly caressing his face, revealing a hint of madness and obsession, "It’s been so long since I’ve seen this face, exactly as it was then."

"Don’t worry, I am well aware of the Six Souls Banner’s protection mechanism; as long as I don’t harm your life, it won’t have any reaction."

Sealing her words, she placed her fingertip to Chu Xuan’s lips, adopting a coy tone, "My finger hurts; could you blow it for me?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, you can’t move."

Wu Gou Fairy simply pried open Chu Xuan’s mouth with her fingers, gently stirring his tongue, "Mm, so warm~ Back then, you liked doing this to me, now it’s finally my turn."

At this moment, Chu Xuan’s mind was a complete blank, his confusion exceeded his dread.

Undeniably, this fairy was certainly an acquaintance of Chu Xuan, and she had recognized him as the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable.

Chu Xuan had thought that, even if Wu Gou was Qing’er, in the memories, he and Qing’er appeared very friendly; even if captured by her, there shouldn’t be any issue, at most she would complain a few times, maybe hit him twice, and that would be it.

But what if she’s not?!

Earlier, the master mentioned, high-level cultivators from the Celestial Ruins are resistant to the devouring power of the Celestial Water Returning Ruins Technique; Wu Gou in historical records was also a mortal enemy to Celestial Evil, even severely injuring him.

She was so beautiful, Chu Xuan thought with his character, if one day his cultivation surpassed this woman, he would certainly capture her for harsh revenge.

Let alone the Celestial Evil Period, his personality, his deeds, certainly more extreme than now; since he could do such things to Yun Ni Fairy, why couldn’t he to Wu Gou Fairy?

Because of deeper hatred, he would likely be less gentle than dealing with Pei Shurou...

In other words, the most terrifying scenario Chu Xuan envisioned had occurred:

The victim woman has come seeking revenge!

Judging by Wu Gou Fairy’s sudden other side, this woman seemed quite mad; she certainly wouldn’t let him die so easily, arranging top ten tortures, not stopping until he’s tormented to death.

Chu Xuan’s face turned pale, chilled from head to toe, confronted by a former nemesis; pitifully he had naively delivered himself to her, but how did she see through his disguise?

Wu Gou seemed to sense his anxiety, she gently embraced him.

"Don’t be afraid, do you want to ask how I recognized you?"

"Actually, I’m also puzzled, but I have a guess."

"Even if your face is identical to the past, until others realize you’re the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable, they wouldn’t compare the two, subconsciously not seeing the resemblance."

"But if they’ve already realized you’re Celestial Evil, then looking at your face would create a sense of enlightenment: Oh, it’s you."

"As to how I guessed you’re Celestial Evil, simple, scarcely anyone knew of your affair with Ji Mingyu back then; incidentally, I’m among those few."

Wu Gou Fairy smiled at Chu Xuan, with a teasing expression reminiscent of a cat playing with a mouse.

Chu Xuan then realized her guess was likely correct!

Ji Mingyu probably did not recognize him out of thin air but first identified the Six Souls Banner to confirm his identity, then looked at him and recognized him instantly.

Pei Shurou the same; once Chu Xuan had intimate contact with her, her body naturally reacted, deducing Chu Xuan as Celestial Evil, first "realizing," then "recognizing."

The same principle applied to Wu Gou before him; she knew Chu Xuan and Ji Mingyu had an "affair," and seeing Ming Yu constantly pursue this "disciple" over the years, she immediately guessed the truth.
