Chapter 246: Chapter 139: Only for You
Faced with Qingqing’s sudden confession, Chu Xuan wasn’t too surprised. After all, if a beautiful woman descended from the sky and saved him from a life-and-death crisis, he would probably fall in love with her too, right?
Suddenly, the image of a certain woman flashed in his mind.
Shaking his head to clear these distractions, Chu Xuan smiled at Qingqing and said, "Have you really fallen in love with me? Are you sure you’re not tricking me?"
Qingqing suddenly gathered her courage, raised her head, and kissed him on the lips.
Chu Xuan was stunned for a moment. Are you all so proactive? Can’t I take the initiative to kiss just once?
Of course, even as he said that, Chu Xuan still embraced Qingqing and responded earnestly and meticulously to her passion for him. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"Mmm, mmm~"
Qingqing had absolutely no experience with kissing. In a moment of passion, she kissed him, only to be kissed back by Chu Xuan in a way that left her dazed, her face flushed, and her body weak.
After a long while, Chu Xuan finally smiled and withdrew from her lips. fгeewebnovёl.com
Qingqing was out of breath, and being underground made her feel suffocated. She pointed upwards.
Chu Xuan used Divine Sense to scan the area and, seeing no pursuers for the moment, finally took her back to the surface.
As soon as they emerged, Qingqing puffed up her cheeks and looked at Chu Xuan, "How are you so skilled? Have you kissed Gu Haitang many times?"
Chu Xuan was speechless. Why is that always your first question?
He could only reply sheepishly, "No, really, I haven’t."
This was not the time to confess honestly, otherwise, Qingqing would surely throw a fit.
Qingqing looked skeptical, "You’re still trying to deceive me. I saw you outside the secret realm, holding hands with that vixen and laughing together."
Chu Xuan felt a bit embarrassed, "Well, my relationship with Haitang has improved a little."
Qingqing huffed softly, "Considering that you risked your life to save me just now, I’ll settle the score with you later."
With that, she affectionately hugged Chu Xuan, "Where are we going next?"
"Oh wait," Qingqing raised her head, wrapping her arms around Chu Xuan’s neck, "You haven’t said those words yet."
Chu Xuan pretended not to understand, "What words?"
Qingqing, in a coquettish and expectant tone, said, "You know, say you like me. Hurry, hurry, do you like me?"
Chu Xuan found it amusing, and looked at Qingqing with a gaze filled with even more affection, "I like you."
Immediately, Qingqing broke into an extremely happy smile, with two sweet dimples appearing on her face. She felt that there could be no happier moment in her life than right now.
To her, Chu Xuan was like a beam of light in the endless long night, illuminating his desolate life and saving him from the hellish abyss of eternal despair.
She secretly vowed never to leave him again, that the two of them should always be together.
Chu Xuan gently stroked Qingqing’s head, "Don’t go back to the Li’an Demon Sect. I swear I will never let you suffer that kind of torment again."
"Come with me... let’s go somewhere else for now."
He had originally intended to say: come back to the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace with me, and I will inform my master of the situation.
But the words changed at the last moment.
Qingqing could tell that Chu Xuan changed his mind temporarily, and her gaze darkened a bit.
Chu Xuan knew that Qingqing was the type of person who seemed cheerful on the surface but was actually sensitive and insecure inside. So after establishing their relationship, she couldn’t help but coquettishly seek an explicit answer from him.
At this moment, Qingqing probably thought that he despised her, so Chu Xuan kissed her forehead.
"I don’t dislike you; I just don’t want to burden the sect any further."
"The Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace has shown me kindness, especially my master, who gave me a second chance. If I really brought you back to the palace, he would surely agree, yes."
"But considering your importance as the Saintess to the Demon Sect, they would truly be willing to go to war with the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace. At that time, there would be countless casualties on both sides, and I would feel guilty."
Qingqing thought about it and agreed, "You’re right. Let’s elope and wander the world, go somewhere no one can find us!"
Chu Xuan’s expression stiffened, thinking how accurate Haitang’s premonition was. Now he and Qingqing might really develop in this direction.
But I promised her I would return to see her.
So Chu Xuan said, "No rush, let’s first lose the pursuit of the Demon Sect, then we’ll slowly discuss where to go."
Qingqing thought for a moment, "Alright, I know it’s hard for you to leave behind your friends and family from the Daoist Palace and that woman Gu Haitang. I won’t force you."
Chu Xuan felt a little relieved, as Qingqing seemed to understand his concerns and wasn’t insisting on making him choose immediately.
He checked the wound on Qingqing’s neck. Although her self-healing ability wasn’t as strong as his, she did have a special constitution, and the small external wound wasn’t too serious.
So next, the two of them once again used the characteristics of the Six Souls Banner to escape with all their might.
...
Over at Wuyou Valley, seeing that Chu Xuan had indeed rescued Qingqing single-handedly, Ji Mingyu’s expression was complex.
She had thought he would be captured by the Li’an Demon Sect and used as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace.
Though there were some elements of coincidence, indeed, some things will never succeed if you always dread and avoid them, never daring to act.
The young snow mink was also overjoyed, finally relieved of a heavy burden.
It said in a childish voice, "I don’t think the Li’an Demon Sect is that great. Chu Xuan managed to rescue her so easily."
However, Ji Mingyu did not agree, "Partly because Yao Yufei intentionally let it happen, and partly because the Li’an Demon Sect was caught off guard by him."
"But after all, it’s like dancing on a knife’s edge. This kind of thing can only be done once, hopefully Chu Xuan won’t become overconfident because of it."
