The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife

Chu Xuan saw right through Qingqing’s little intentions. He laughed and said, "It’s not that simple. I think you’re just looking for an excuse to get close to me, aren’t you?"

"No, I’m not~" Qingqing squirmed, refusing to admit it.

Then she leaned in, coyly wrapped her arms around Chu Xuan’s neck, and was just about to speak when she looked up at his gentle lips and couldn’t help but kiss him.

The kiss was deep, and soon their tongues intertwined like swimming fish, inseparable...

Chu Xuan responded to her gently, lightly patting her back, as if to say: Take your time, no need to rush, you can kiss as long as you want.

The beautiful head, which had been observing the outside world, now turned its attention to the intimate behavior of the two, observing seriously.

Thinking to herself: Kissing, it seems to be a way humans express their feelings...

This made Qingqing feel a bit embarrassed and uncomfortable. She couldn’t help but release Chu Xuan’s lips and said to the giant head behind him, "Could you not stare like that?"

Then she urged Chu Xuan, "Take out your banner to cover us, so we can whisper a bit."

Chu Xuan was a bit helpless; did she really want to whisper?

Moreover, he could not only use the Six Souls Banner to cover them but even turn it into a small black room for the two of them.

But creating such a private environment for Qingqing might make it impossible for her to resist the years of longing and devour him entirely.

"Try to restrain yourself a bit, and anyway, have you forgotten what month it is now?" Chu Xuan reminded.

As they got closer to the north, they could gradually feel the chill in the wind. Qingqing then realized, "It’s December..."

Which meant that the Lantern Festival was approaching.

She couldn’t help but become teary-eyed, speaking with a bit of a choke, "So you still remember~"

"Of course, I remember," Chu Xuan smiled, holding her in his arms, "I promised you something more precious than pearls. How could I lie to you?"

Recalling that year, when they parted ways because of Yao Yufei’s scheme, it was the night before they were supposed to see the lanterns.

Having waited three whole months, Qingqing was so excited that she couldn’t sleep that night, clinging to Chu Xuan’s hand, chatting with him, filled with expectation for the next day’s trip.

Unfortunately, they never made it, parting ways that very night, one returning to Li’an Demon Sect, the other to the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace.

Qingqing originally just felt like crying, but as Chu Xuan embraced her and spoke, memories of their first meeting and that night came flooding back, causing her to burst into tears.

"Wah, wah, Chu Xuan, I’m sorry, I, I, let’s never be apart again, okay?"

Chu Xuan leaned down to kiss away her tears, "What’s wrong? You’re crying like a little cat, it’s hard for us both to survive, so I must fulfill my promise to you back then."

"Otherwise, if I’m ever killed, you’d regret it forever."

"Don’t say such unlucky things!" Qingqing blanched, quickly covering his mouth.

Chu Xuan chuckled, gently moving her hand away, continuing:

"When I was on the brink of death, I vaguely heard you singing, ’I wish I could fulfill my wish.’ Was I dreaming, or did you really sing that?"

Qingqing nodded repeatedly, wiping away her tears, "It was real, at the time I just thought, if only you could survive, I’d be content."

"That’s not right, we haven’t even seen the lanterns together, how can that be considered ’fulfillment’?"

Chu Xuan kissed her forehead, "Next, let’s not rush to the northern borders, let’s go to the Capital City first, and this time, I’ll definitely take you to see a lively lantern festival."

Qingqing was deeply touched, nodding repeatedly, almost wishing she could give him her body right then and there.

"So back on topic, when are we having children?"

"Again? Didn’t we agree from the start? We’d wait until we officially become Dao Companions." Chu Xuan patiently advised.

But Qingqing wouldn’t relent, having gone through so many ups and downs, she was truly frightened, how could she wait for the day they become Dao Companions?

She shook her head firmly like a rattle drum, "No, no, either you marry me now or we must set a plan today."

Chu Xuan thought for a moment, "If you’re so eager, then let’s do it after the lantern festival and fulfill your wish, okay?"

Qingqing was secretly delighted, but outwardly she pretended to be righteous, "What are you talking about? I’m not eager at all."

Chu Xuan immediately replied, "Oh, then never mind, let’s plan for it in the future."

"Chu Xuan!" Qingqing was anxious, lifting her small fists to hit him playfully.

Chu Xuan dodged with a smile, "Last time in the northern borders, you said you’d make it up to me by giving me ten to eight children. At the time, I didn’t know what to say, was that compensation or were you just rewarding yourself?"

After all, the chances of a cultivator having children are low. Trying to have that many is almost impossible, and aiming for that would require countless attempts.

Qingqing’s cheeks turned crimson, "Don’t twist my words, I was really heartbroken at the time, I truly wanted to make it up to you, hoping you’d come back to me."

"Oh right," she suddenly remembered, "When we promised each other for life, watching the stars on the grass, we agreed to remain faithful to each other. Have you really kept that promise all these years?"

With a suspicious look, she turned towards him, evidently, Su Mengqing’s previous remark, "he was in my bed last night," had left a significant psychological shadow on her.
