Chapter 532: Chapter 265: Beauty

Chu Xuan released "Xiao Xue’s" hand upon hearing this. Ji Mingyu was somewhat unwilling, but couldn’t think of a good excuse to stop him, so she could only watch helplessly as the person she held dear took steps towards the arms of another woman...

As he ascended the stone steps and lifted the heavy beaded curtains, what appeared before Chu Xuan was a striking beauty in a crimson long dress.

Her long, jet-black hair was neatly pinned up with a phoenix hairpin, her delicate oval face was fair and exquisite, her lashes slightly curled, with a pair of enchanting and alluring almond-shaped eyes, a high and straight nose, and a faint, elusive smile on her lips.

Her figure was more graceful and tall than the average woman, with a voluptuous curve on her chest, and a slender waist so thin it seemed it could barely be clasped, appearing mature and luscious, the epitome of elegance and temptation.

Moreover, she possessed an innately arrogant yet graceful demeanor, as though nothing in the world concerned her, instantly seizing Chu Xuan’s attention.

"Come closer," the Enchantress beckoned with a small hand gesture.

Chu Xuan, captivated by her astoundingly alluring face, continued up as she suggested until he stood before her.

At this proximity, the fair beauty exhaled a breath like Ru Lan, and Chu Xuan could detect not only her fragrant breath but also a faint personal scent on her body.

Unexpectedly, it was not as intense as flames, but carried a tranquil scent of phoenix flowers.

"So, have you remembered anything?" The Enchantress gazed at him with a lighthearted smile.

Chu Xuan steadied himself, "I have impression now."

To be honest, upon seeing the Enchantress’ true appearance, Chu Xuan had to admit, she was a very alluring woman, her beauty and demeanor rivaling that of Ji Mingyu’s, each distinct in their own way, neither inferior to the other.

Yet what struck him as strange was that even at such close proximity, he felt a certain distance between them.

The Enchantress frowned, somewhat displeased, "Just an impression? Do you remember my name?"

Chu Xuan replied with a headache, "Let me think about it."

"Now that you’ve seen, come down." "Xiao Xue" urged stepping forward.

"Don’t worry, I won’t eat him~" The Enchantress chuckled lightly, maintaining a gaze full of pressure towards Chu Xuan, making him break into a sweat.

But the more he thought, the less he could recall. For an instant, Chu Xuan felt like a scoundrel who’d forgotten his wife’s name.

Finally, he was compelled to say, "Could you give me a hint? Or share more about past events between us."

"Even a bit of stimulation might work."

"Stimulation?" The Enchantress pursed her lips, her eyes carrying an inexplicable look, speaking in a suggestive tone, "What kind of stimulation do you want?"

Chu Xuan was a bit embarrassed, he couldn’t just mention how Qing Er had once dragged him onto the bed for a passionate encounter, achieving great results, right?

It must be said, the twin Guardians in the hall were dumbfounded. They initially believed that the Enchantress and Chu Xuan merely had a past connection, but now it appeared their relationship was far more intimate than they had imagined!

It puzzled them, as the Enchantress was such a noble existence, never seen being so gentle towards any man, let alone a human.

With "Xiao Xue" staring fiercely behind, ready to step in at any moment, Chu Xuan thought and said:

"Let’s stick to the hints then."

The Enchantress was somewhat dissatisfied, looking towards Ji Mingyu, "Would you mind stepping out for a moment? It’s a time to open up and reminisce between old acquaintances, your presence is hindering him."

Ji Mingyu stood coldly in place, ignoring these words.

Chu Xuan waved his hand, "I won’t hold back."

The Enchantress could only sigh softly, "Alright then, ’The reed is lush’, that’s your hint."

The first thing that came to Chu Xuan’s mind was Gu Haitang’s mother, whose name was Gu Jianjia.

Yet he doubted such a chance coincidence of names, so he guessed, "White dew?"

This line was from The Book of Songs, Qin Feng, Jianjia, the first four lines being: The reed is lush, white dew turns to frost, such a person dwells across the water.

The Enchantress shook her head in response.

"Such a person?"

Still a shake of the head.

"Couldn’t possibly be ’across the water’, right?"

The Enchantress was somewhat annoyed, "Do you hold no place for me in your heart?? I’ve given such an obvious hint."

Chu Xuan hurriedly raised both hands, "Don’t get angry, don’t get angry, I truly didn’t mean it."

When the red-dressed beauty before him was upset, she exuded a faint sense of danger, perhaps an outward manifestation of the "Burning World Flame" authority.

All in all, Chu Xuan racked his brain, eliminating answers like "lush", "gathering", "yet not dry", "yet not gone", and finally hesitated, "White frost?"

Upon reflection, naming a fire phoenix "White Frost" indeed seemed quite contrasting, and... resembled his style of naming?

The Enchantress nodded, "Did you truly remember, or deduce it?"

Chu Xuan was about to confess honestly, but as he looked at the Enchantress’ stunning face, some details suddenly came to mind...

"You said Jianjia is too cumbersome, ’such a person’ too gentle, across the water not as good as in fire, so frost it shall be."

"Wait, you’re not called White Frost, you’re called Yun Shuang!"

The Enchantress chuckled softly, "Correct answer, that’s the name you gave me, or rather, one we came up with together."

"But you have another original name, which you never told me..." Chu Xuan muttered, for the first time beginning to question whether his relationship with the Enchantress was truly that intimate? 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

The Enchantress, or Yun Shuang, responded casually, "I told you I’d reveal it after meeting certain conditions, do you remember?"
