Chapter 163: Otherwise, Would You Kiss Me?
“Ye Xuan, why do you have to endure all this alone? You don’t need to do this–!”
Yu Ling’er, with tears streaming down her face, said to Ye Xuan, “Do you know how guilty I feel? I thought I would never have the chance… to apologize to you, to admit my mistakes, to ever receive your forgiveness again…”
She plunged into Ye Xuan’s arms, feeling both pain and happiness in her heart. The pain was because Ye Xuan remembered everything; he remembered how he had been hurt by her.
The happiness was because she had the chance to make amends for everything she owed to this Ye Xuan whom she had hurt. At that moment, she realized she was being somewhat selfish.
Yet, she did not feel ashamed. Compared to that, she still preferred the Ye Xuan in front of her to be the one she had hurt. That way, she would have the real opportunity to repay his love.
Although it was unfair to Ye Xuan, she believed that she would definitely make him satisfied. The emotional debt she once owed him, in this life, she was determined to repay it with all her might. The scars in his heart would be mended by her.
“Sigh…” Hearing this, Ye Xuan sighed softly, stroking Yu Ling’er’s hair, and said to her, “I was afraid of making you feel this way, which is why I didn’t tell you the truth.”
“Don’t consider me anymore, okay? You’ve already considered enough for me, I already owe you a lot,” said Yu Ling’er. “Being nice to me like this will only make me feel more guilty–!!!”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “Perhaps, the former me was a bit selfish… I only considered my own thoughts, without considering that giving you the chance to mend your regrets is the best choice for you, I was wrong.”
“No, you’re not wrong, it’s my fault,” Yu Ling’er quickly shook her head, wiping away her tears and said, “It’s me… it’s me who didn’t realize this fact earlier, letting you suffer alone for so long.
“Please, don’t endure anything for me anymore, I really… I really can’t bear the feeling of owing you anymore. At least, let me make up for everything I owe you first–!!!”
“….”
Watching Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er in this state, Qingxue slightly raised the corners of her lips.
She was happy for Yu Ling’er.
Yu Ling’er was different from her; she still had the chance to make up for everything she owed to Ye Xuan, but Yu Ling’er might never meet that Ye Xuan she had hurt again.
But now, knowing that Ye Xuan was the one reborn after all, Yu Ling’er finally had the chance to truly make up for the person she owed, and naturally, Qingxue was happy for Yu Ling’er.
“Uh…”
Only, Qingxue could understand Yu Ling’er’s sudden burst of tears, but the people around in the Jade Fox Palace didn’t know. Especially the master of the Jade Fox Palace who felt very awkward.
‘Isn’t this supposed to be my apology scene? I’m still apologizing here, and you’re rushing to apologize, what’s that about?!! Your relationship is so good, can’t you apologize later?’
‘I’m still here holding Ye Xuan’s legs, crying and begging for forgiveness. You come over now and embrace Ye Xuan, who wouldn’t feel awkward?!!’
After the astonishment, Hu Qianzao also realized what was happening. If she didn’t take the initiative, Yu Ling’er would probably cry in front of Ye Xuan endlessly.
So, she lifted her head and said to Ye Xuan, “Ye Xuan… you know everything that happened in the future, right?”
Ye Xuan looked towards Hu Qianzao. Secretly admiring, truly a top-tier beauty, so grand, but now was not the time to feel this way.
He coughed lightly and said, “Since you all know now, there’s nothing for me to hide anymore, I’m indeed not a person from this time, I’m reborn from the future, but what happened in the future has nothing to do with you now, you don’t need to feel too guilty or remorseful.”
“….”
Hearing Ye Xuan still consoling them at this time, the people of Jade Fox Palace felt even more guilty.
Clap–!!!
A disciple of the Jade Fox Palace, without hesitation, reached out and slapped himself on the face.
“I’m sorry, Ye Xuan, I am not a wolf–!!!”
“I am too, sob, it clearly wasn’t Ye Xuan who did it, but I just scolded him so harshly.”
Slap, slap–!!!
Saying this, another disciple of the Jade Fox Palace couldn’t help but slap himself twice on the face.
For a moment, the disciples of the Jade Fox Palace began to follow suit, and the sound of slapping faces was continuous.
Those unaware would think that there was some special event happening in the Jade Fox Palace.
If even the disciples were like this, Hu Qianzao also raised her hand, about to strike her own face. Looking at her force, it seemed that this slap might mark her beautiful face.
Ye Xuan quickly grabbed her hand, “I said, this has nothing to do with you, you don’t need to blame yourselves so much, you doing this only makes me feel worse.”
“….”
Hearing this, the disciples of the Jade Fox Palace looked at Ye Xuan with eyes full of admiration. In this world, perhaps only Ye Xuan could have such magnanimity.
He was so misunderstood by the people of the Jade Fox Palace, died by their hands, and even in death was burdened with countless accusations, even dying at the hands of his beloved…
Enduring such grievances, if it were anyone else, they might have gone mad already. Yet, he held no grudge against them at all. What kind of magnanimity does one need to have to worry about the worries of others like he does?
“But this does have something to do with me–!!!” While everyone was admiring Ye Xuan’s breadth of heart, Hu Qianzao couldn’t help crying out, “They are innocent, but I am not, I also came back from the dead, it was I who did all those things that hurt you–!!!”
“Ye Xuan, what can I do to make it up to you? Can you tell me?!!”
Ye Xuan shook his head and said, “If you are happy, then I am happy too…”
“No, I can’t be happy.” Hu Qianzao said, “Are you saying this because you plan to have no more ties with me? I don’t want that… Please, don’t be like this, give me another chance, okay?”
“You can ask me to do anything, just don’t say that you’re happy if I’m happy. I really… can’t bear that phrase.” During this conversation, her tears wet a large part of her skirt.
If someone uninformed saw this scene, they might think that Ye Xuan was about to leave with Yu Ling’er and not want Hu Qianzao.
That’s why Hu Qianzao is crying here begging Ye Xuan not to leave her…
Seeing Hu Qianzao like this, Ye Xuan knew he could not pretend any longer. Pretending further would be too deliberate.Since at this moment, everyone could have a good outcome, why insist on making everyone unhappy?
So, he coughed and said, “If you insist… then, kiss me, and that compensation will be enough for me.”
“??!!!”
As soon as Ye Xuan said this, everyone in the Jade Fox Palace was stunned. Immediately, the male disciples’ eyes lit up, the female disciples blushed, and the little girls also widened their eyes, seemingly anticipating something.
Hu Lan watched Ye Xuan, quietly amazed. No wonder Ye Xuan had so many beautiful women around him, even the sword saint Qingxue of Taihua Immortal Sect was by his side.
He really knew how to make women happy. Only, he was too sentimental, so he often ended up hurting himself for the people he liked.
Otherwise, with his emotional intelligence, how could he possibly be so wounded by love? Just like now, Ye Xuan’s casual condition immediately turned the atmosphere from one of sadness and guilt to one of curiosity and anticipation.
In this place, asking the palace master to kiss him might seem somewhat frivolous. But, the atmosphere in the Jade Fox Palace was so awkward that Ye Xuan’s words actually broke the original unease everyone felt.
As for whether the palace master would be unwilling, how could that be possible? She would be willing. Ye Xuan’s condition not only reduced Hu Qianzao’s guilt but also let her know that he still loved her.
It also let her know that he really did not intend to clear the boundaries with her anymore.
Truly brilliant.
But, it also took someone with a thick enough skin to say such a thing in front of so many people.
