Chapter 579: Chapter 288: The Wind Never Blew, the Flowers Never Bloomed (Part 2)

He finally gently caressed her face and smiled, saying:

"Ming Yu, actually I forgave you a long time ago, I was just sulking."

Over the years, as he repeatedly recalled the warm memories of the past with Ji Mingyu, felt her relentless pursuit and love for him, and had already vented once after the wedding, Chu Xuan’s heart had almost forgiven this woman whom he loved and hated.

It’s just that there was still a breath in his heart then, it wasn’t so easy to just forgive.

If things were going normally, with their little by little interaction, their relationship should gradually recover, slowly reconcile, and eventually become a happy couple.

But just when Chu Xuan was hesitating whether to change his cultivation technique and take the initiative to see Ji Mingyu, an "unexpected" happened.

Ming Yu heard that Chu Xuan was going to see her actively, she was instantly filled with joy, didn’t think too much, just eagerly ran to Langhuan Grotto Heaven to wait, overlooking the immense harm she had once caused him in this place.

Thus, when Chu Xuan arrived at the entrance of Langhuan Grotto Heaven, he hadn’t even gone inside, yet he was overwhelmed with emotions, forcing him to recall the painful memories of kneeling, pleading, crying here without being able to garner her glance, and therefore he acted so decisively afterward.

It was this time that instead made their relationship distant, and Ji Mingyu cried terribly on the spot.

On another side, after Chu Xuan calmed down upon returning, he vaguely regretted, thinking: Was I too cruel to her?

Anyway, once that impulsive force passed, he wasn’t so angry anymore.

But with things having reached such a point, Chu Xuan couldn’t turn back, thus he became more resolute in his decision to change his cultivation technique.

During the three years of retreat, Chu Xuan figured out many things, he finally no longer hesitated, no longer was indecisive, no longer was confused.

Except he still couldn’t easily overcome that hurdle, so he continued to feign ignorance, knowing full well that Ming Yu was possessing Xiaoxue, yet pretending not to know, and indirectly "dating" her through Xiaoxue’s body.

It wasn’t Chu Xuan deliberately wanting to manipulate Ming Yu, purely both couldn’t take the last step to "reconcile," so Xiaoxue had to pitifully act as the bridge of intimacy between them.

Chu Xuan originally intended to gather courage to reconcile with Ji Mingyu after this Celestial Pool Secret Mansion expedition, but ultimately, plans couldn’t keep up with changes, too late...

Listening to the man before her roughly recount his mindset, Ji Mingyu simply shook her head while crying:

"Stop talking, say no more, it’s all my fault, please don’t die, give us a chance to start over."

Chu Xuan’s gaze grew increasingly tender, "With the memories of these two lifetimes combined, I love you so deeply, how could it be easily let go, don’t say two lifetimes, even if I lost my memory and were to live a third life, nine out of ten I would still fall in love with you."

Ming Yu cried heavily, "Sob, stop talking, you will survive, I will make you live."

As she spoke, she tried to infuse her immortal energy into Chu Xuan’s body.

However, Chu Xuan beat her to it, transferring his immortal energy to her, "This immortal energy, along with the Six Souls Banner, will stay with you."

He slightly lifted his chin and weakly said, "Kiss me, alright? I’m out of strength and don’t want to leave regrets at the end."

"No, don’t!" Ji Mingyu stubbornly refused, as if kissing him would mean accepting fate.

So Chu Xuan smiled, his body gently leaning forward, falling into her embrace.

He whispered in her ear, "Ming Yu, forget me, live well."

"Cultivate, ascend, become immortal, that’s the path you should take."

"From now on, just pretend the wind never blew, flowers never bloomed, and I never came to this place called heart."

Ji Mingyu instantly cried heartbrokenly, unconsciously reaching out to hold Chu Xuan.

But in that moment, the man’s body shattered into countless points of light, her embrace catching nothing.

At that moment, Ji Mingyu was completely aghast, staring blankly at the light like fireflies until they completely disappeared before she realized.

"Ah!!" Ming Yu knelt on the ground, wailing hysterically!

Her voice echoed to the heavens, stirring celestial phenomena, causing snow to fall in June...

That day, Ji Mingyu’s realm which had been stuck for years finally loosened, and she broke into the ninth realm on the spot.

...

The outbreak of the natural disaster came suddenly and subsided inexplicably.

Clearly only recently the situation worsened rapidly, causing panic everywhere, not only cultivators but even ordinary people had their eyes, they could see the celestial signs and knew trouble was brewing.

But within a day, the natural disaster showed signs of abating, even calmer than before it erupted.

Thus, the Jiuzhou Land, which initially had a bit of doomsday atmosphere, began to restore normal order.

In the depths of the East Sea, Jiang Yiyi stared blankly at the sea ahead, at the great golden word "Forbidden," feeling a void in her heart.

Chu Xuan, could he really be in trouble?

But for now, I can’t leave, even if the situation has stabilized...

"Thank you." Jiang Yiyi said sadly.

Standing beside her was a man dressed in a cyan aquatics suit, long hair bound with silk bands, face handsome yet slightly weathered.

He didn’t respond verbally, merely stood with his hands behind his back, also silently watching that golden word.

Yes, it was indeed that mysterious Exiled Immortal, who fortuitously led Chu Xuan to the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace; later delved into the Ruo Wood Secret Realm, inexplicably undertaking a wood-cutting act, resulting in a battle with the ancient Zhulong - the Exiled Immortal.
