Chapter 536: Chapter 267: No One Knows Chu Xuan Better Than I Do

Ji Mingyu was fully prepared for the woman to turn hostile, but Yun Shuang ultimately didn’t make a move.

She merely said softly, "You’re not entirely right. I might indeed not have entered the scene, but my position in Chu Xuan’s heart is still very high. I’m certain of that."

In Yun Shuang’s view, those women who could receive even a bit of favor from Chu Xuan were ultimately just fleeting clouds. How many could be remembered by him like Xiao Yun until now?

Though she wasn’t as close as Xiao Yun at the moment, time would tell. As long as she’s alive, there’s always a chance...

Yun Shuang didn’t understand what kind of feelings she had for Chu Xuan exactly, but she knew if he were gone, she’d be sad, and that was enough.

Ming Yu said smoothly, "Then how about we make a bet? Chu Xuan won’t stay long at Wa Palace, and your relationship with him won’t progress further in a short time."

"If you lose the bet, you can’t pester him anymore."

"And if I win the bet, will you promise not to pester him?" The Holy Lady smiled as she spoke.

Ji Mingyu felt confident, initially wanting to agree immediately, but after opening her mouth, she carefully said, "The ’losing the bet’ I mentioned has clear criteria."

"First, Chu Xuan won’t linger here for more than a month."

"Second, within at least six months, your relationship with him will remain below that of lovers."

Yun Shuang nodded, understanding, "If I can get him to admit with his own lips that we’re lovers before he leaves, then I win the bet."

Ji Mingyu, ignoring Xiao Xue’s silent dissuasion, nodded resolutely, "Alright, it’s a deal!"

Honestly, Xiao Xue didn’t understand why her master had such strong faith in Chu Xuan. He was just a jerk!

Could he really resist the charm of someone as perfect and flawless as the Holy Lady?

In the following time, the two had little to say, merely parted to wait for Chu Xuan to finish mourning his little bird.

Xiao Xue shook Ming Yu’s hand, "Master, we’ve endured so long, finally waiting for Chu Xuan to reconsider. Victory is within reach now; why the added complications?"

"You don’t understand," Ji Mingyu spoke with a detached elegance, "No one knows Chu Xuan better than I do. This is the perfect opportunity to eliminate this competitor."

Xiao Xue covered her face with one hand, unable to look, consoling herself: She’ll cheat. If the master loses, she’ll definitely cheat!

Elsewhere, the twin Guardians were also advising the Holy Lady, saying in unison, "You must think carefully, my Lady."

As they saw, the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable was still too fickle-minded, unworthy of such a noble person like the Lady.

Yun Shuang simply laughed softly, "Not only does he make me smile, but he also makes me shed tears. Can you? Or, is there anyone else who could?"

Xiao Qing and Xiao Zi exchanged glances, falling into silence.

...

Half a day later, Chu Xuan finally returned to the path he came from.

Yun Shuang and "Xiao Xue" simultaneously appeared by his side, swiftly grabbing his hand, as if whoever was slower in grabbing would lose.

Chu Xuan’s mood seemed good; he wasn’t immersed in sadness and was even amused by their actions.

"What are you doing?"

Yun Shuang shook her head, "Nothing much. Do you want to continue talking about our past stories? Or maybe I’ll give you a little ’surprise’ instead."

Ji Mingyu didn’t have time to say her "cheating" before Chu Xuan gently looked at her, "No need. I’ve already remembered everything."

During the previous "talking therapy," Chu Xuan had recollected almost everything, and after half a day’s reflection, he remembered the rest.

In his memories, the Holy Lady was indeed an extreme woman.

She was usually proud, elegant, like nothing in the world could bother her.

But once she got angry, her temperament was fiery, truly beyond a normal person’s ability to handle.

Yun Shuang felt somewhat disappointed but maintained a casual demeanor, "So what do you say our relationship is now?"

"Friends," Chu Xuan replied without hesitation.

Yun Shuang frowned, feeling dissatisfied, while Ji Mingyu appeared smug, almost saying: See? It’s all within my expectations.

"I’m not satisfied with that answer; think of another."

Chu Xuan pondered for a moment, "Close friends."

Yun Shuang was still unhappy, "Try again."

"Cherished friend."

Seeing Chu Xuan acting dumb, Yun Shuang was really piqued with anger. She suppressed her fury, bluntly stating:

"No, no, I want to hear the words ’lovers.’

"You say it; just say it, and I’ll tell you my true name."

In the past, the Holy Lady’s conditions were high; Chu Xuan had to truly move her heart, but she didn’t specify how exactly to do it...

Now she was lowering the bar to an incredibly low level, requiring only for him to say those two words aloud.

Chu Xuan was somewhat troubled now; he had "changed his ways and character," but Yun Shuang wasn’t happy about it, nearly saying outright "I want you to continue pursuing me."

He thought for a moment before saying seriously, "More than friends, but not yet lovers."

Yun Shuang never expected he’d come up with such a term, and the golden-red flames emanating a destructive aura instantly engulfed her!

Chu Xuan quickly let go, "Yun Shuang! Calm down; listen to what I have to say."

Yun Shuang’s face was as cold as frost, her pupils glimmering with five-colored radiance, intensely staring into his eyes, "You have so many women already; do you mean I’m not better than any of them?"

She added sadly, "You weren’t like this before. Back then, your gaze always carried longing, desire when you looked at me..."
