The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife
Chapter 221 - 1.3.0: Chu Xuan, Are You Even Human? (3)
At this point, it could be declared that the experiment had failed; logically, Chu Xuan should kill Pei Shurou to silence her.
However, over the years, he developed some feelings for Pei Shurou and even felt a sense of guilt deep inside.
Moreover, with the ongoing intensification of the battle between good and evil, Chu Xuan wasn’t even sure if he could escape unscathed himself, let alone take care of those around him.
So he resolutely sent Yun Ni Fairy back to the Purple Heaven Jade Mansion, ignoring her tears, refusing to leave no matter what.
Chu Xuan originally thought that that would be the end of it.
He later learned that Pei Shurou might have been mentally stimulated, and surprisingly, she gradually regained her memory over the next decade after returning.
However, her old memories made her hate Celestial Evil deeply, while her new memories, although also hating him for "abandoning her after seduction," were mixed with admiration, almost driving her to a mental breakdown.
In the end, Yun Ni Fairy seemed to reluctantly unify her will, but since then, she developed a psychological shadow regarding Chu Xuan.
During this period, Chu Xuan also died on the battlefield of the third battle between good and evil, and they never met again...
"No, are you even human?" Chu Xuan knocked on his head in frustration, feeling he was indeed too much of a scoundrel.
Moreover, he never expected that the story of "Yun Ni Fairy" and the story from "Celestial Evil History" were about the same heroine.
Now Chu Xuan finally understood why Pei Shurou reacted the way she did after recognizing him as Celestial Evil; it was an extremely contradictory and complex psychology, both an enemy and a lover...
He originally thought there might have been some misunderstanding, and once he recalled the related memories, he would not feel so guilty towards her.
However, this only made him feel more guilty.
Chu Xuan lowered his head, seeing Pei Shurou nestled in his arms, even though she was seriously injured, she still wore a calm expression.
That previous demeanor, with her delicate brows slightly furrowed and a trace of melancholy in her eyes, was gone.
Chu Xuan sighed softly, kissed her forehead, and continued to flee forward.
...
After confirming that the Blood Robe Old Monster could no longer catch up, Chu Xuan followed the original underground river to a new cave.
While lost in memories earlier, he deliberately recalled the Blood Spirit Scripture, and it paid off.
Chu Xuan first placed Pei Shurou in the five-heart-to-the-sky position, pulled down half of her clothing, retrieved a flying sword, and carefully made an incision on the swollen blood handprint to facilitate subsequent drainage.
Then he sat cross-legged, placed his palms against her back, and channeled Magical Power to help dissolve the blood-attributed Magical Power left by the "Blood Spirit Palm."
Unlike Pei Shurou’s previous direct approach, Chu Xuan first adjusted his own Magical Power to a state resembling blood-attributed Magical Power, then harmonized, communicated, and guided.
During this process, dark blood continuously gushed from Pei Shurou’s wound.
Meanwhile, the foreign blood-attributed Magical Power also flowed out with the blood, dissipating into the air strand by strand.
As soon as Chu Xuan finished dissolving, he immediately helped Pei Shurou up and fed her the Healing Elixir to heal her wounds.
Due to excessive blood loss, the beauty’s face was even paler now, with only a faint unnatural redness remaining.
Chu Xuan carefully dressed her, then did nothing else, just held her quietly, lost in thought.
After a long time, he suddenly realized he couldn’t go on like this.
Now his true identity absolutely couldn’t be exposed; having recalled those past events, Chu Xuan understood Pei Shurou’s character much better, confident that she wouldn’t "report" him.
But even so, Chu Xuan didn’t intend to reveal the truth to her; he had caused her too much harm, and since Pei Shurou had already decided to say goodbye to the "immature" him of the past.
Since Pei Shurou believed Celestial Evil Demon Venerable to be deceased, let him die completely in her mind.
With this thought, Chu Xuan smoothed the ground, took out some old clothes to pad it, then gently laid the sleeping Pei Shurou down to rest.
He also sat down to meditate, ensuring he was always in the best condition.
...
For the rest of the day, they were undisturbed, and it wasn’t until late at night, when Pei Shurou, covered with an outer garment, woke up groggily.
She was initially dazed, then chaotic memories surfaced in her mind, causing her to sit up abruptly!
The sudden movement made her frown and cover her wound.
Chu Xuan, wearing a white shirt, opened his eyes and asked concernedly, "You’re awake?"
Pei Shurou’s expression changed as she looked at him, clearly remembering the outrageous things she said while semi-conscious, feeling both ashamed and angry.
Chu Xuan quickly changed the topic, "After my treatment, your injuries have improved significantly, but you must remain vigilant to prevent damaging your origins and delaying future cultivation."
"Since Fairy Pei is awake, I suggest you should perform some healing exercises." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Pei Shurou quietly sensed her internal injuries, which indeed showed a great improvement.
She checked certain "secret places" on her body and didn’t find any inappropriate actions from the man. Looking at the clothes beneath her and the ones covering her, Pei Shurou fell into silence.
She lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Chu Xuan, and after a long time, asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you him?"
Chu Xuan feigned ignorance, "Fairy Pei, what are you talking about? I don’t understand."
Pei Shurou sighed softly, closed her eyes, and whispered, "Forget it, forget everything from before..."
Chu Xuan nodded, "I didn’t remember anything, only that Fairy Pei’s injuries are improving, and soon she will take me away."
