Chapter 156: The Heroine Finally Realizes She Was Wrong

“What–!!!”

“She... she is the Ultimate Desire Devouring Gu?!!”

“Sss–!!!”

“Yes, it must be her; otherwise, who else could know what happened in the Yin-Yang Flame?!!”

“How did I not think of this possibility–!!!”

For a moment, the people of Jade Fox Palace were utterly shocked and started discussing among themselves.

Initially, Hu Qian’er was tormented by the Ultimate Desire Devouring Gu, and to continue her past relationship with Ye Xuan, she had to enter the Yin-Yang Flame, keeping her true nature and memories.

Using the soul-burning flames, it was possible to expel the Ultimate Desire Devouring Gu from Hu Qian’er’s soul.

But the thing that came out of Hu Qian’er’s soul also had a soul. That was... the Ultimate Desire Devouring Gu–!!!

“Ye Lang, it’s just like you to guess it right away.” The mysterious woman began to speak, “In my previous life, although I was just a Gu, my soul was almost complete. My original form first attached to you, then because Hu Qian’er ate your flesh, it was transferred to her.”

“Being attached to Hu Qian’er’s soul, watching everything you did for her, I was truly moved. I envied the depths of your love for her in this world.

At that time, I really hated myself; why did I have to be a harmful Gu, but I couldn’t help it, I was born to harm people.”

“I could only watch helplessly as you both suffered because of me. When I knew you had a way to expel me from her body, do you know, I was actually happy.”

“Using the fire of the Yin-Yang Flame, I quickly severed my connection with Hu Qian’er. It took less than a stick of incense in time.”

“But, Ye Xuan, do you know, in just that short moment, Hu Qian’er already couldn’t withstand the pain of her soul burning and gave up your memories.”

“I hated it; why couldn’t she hold on a little longer?

My soul is much weaker than hers, yet I could endure it, but she couldn’t–!!!”

“As long as she is happy, that is my greatest happiness. Do you think, being with Hu Qianzao, being disparaged by her, being distanced by her, she is hurting me?”

“But I feel, just speaking a word with her is already my happiest moment. And you, having hurt her, how could I possibly forgive you?”

“I will remember your name, but only because you hurt her, and I hate you for it, not because you loved me—don’t misunderstand–!”

——-

As Ye Xuan spoke these words, the female disciples of Jade Fox Palace were moved once again.

What Ye Xuan said wasn’t any flamboyant declaration of love, but it came from the heart. Every word, every sentence, struck their hearts.

“Just speaking a word with her is already my happiest moment. As long as she is happy, that is my greatest happiness.”

Such words, even the most uneducated person could say. But coming from Ye Xuan at this moment, they seemed like the most touching confession in the world.

Ye Xuan’s love for the palace master had reached a point where he completely did not care about reciprocation. But as Ultimate Desire had said, the love Ye Xuan received from the palace master was too little, too little.

Even now, the palace master still misunderstood Ye Xuan. Thinking of this, everyone in Jade Fox Palace began to feel that Ye Xuan was not getting the love he deserved.

Did their palace master really deserve a love like Ye Xuan’s?

However, at this moment, Hu Qianzao was the most panicked of all. Because she knew that in the scene, she was about to meet Ye Xuan soon.

And at that time, what she did, now it seems, was just too wrong to Ye Xuan.

Why, why didn’t she trust Ye Xuan–!!! If she had trusted Ye Xuan from the beginning, none of the subsequent events would have happened.

Tears were already rolling down Hu Qianzao’s eyes. She knew what was about to happen next, and also knew that everything was irreversible now.

She had really hurt Ye Xuan again–!!!

This time, it wasn’t Hu Qian’er; it was she herself who had hurt the man who loved her the most in this world.

Wrong, everything, from the beginning, was a mistake.
