Chapter 590 - 293: Rekindled Love (Part 2)

But Ming Yu seemed very determined.

So Chu Xuan signaled King Qinguang to leave first, then he approached her, holding her hand gently, and said: "What's wrong? Didn't you promise me before that you'd drink the medicine properly?"

Ji Mingyu's voice was a bit muffled, "I regret it. You're so unfaithful. If I regain my memory, wouldn't I fall in love with you again?"

"I don't want to share you with other women, so maybe I shouldn't recover."

"Let's go back to the mortal realm now and not meet again afterward."

"From now on, pretend the wind never blew, flowers never blossomed, and I was never here in your heart."

Chu Xuan was amused by her "learn and apply instantly" tactic. He knew the real reason for her hesitation, so he just hugged her.

"Don't worry. When you regain your memory, you'll still be you. You won't suddenly become someone else. You'll just find your current anxious thoughts kind of funny."

After being hugged by him, Ming Yu's cheeks turned slightly red, looking a bit coy, "I told you not to touch me..."

Chu Xuan, however, tested the waters by nuzzling her ear. After losing some memories, Ji Mingyu seemed especially innocent and cute in certain aspects, making him unable to resist teasing her.

Seeing Chu Xuan's lips gently touching her temple and cheek, seemingly about to kiss her, Ming Yu hurriedly covered his mouth with a red face, "You, don't push your luck, besides, I'm your master."

Chu Xuan chuckled, "You already expelled me from the sect. Just a kiss doesn't count as rebelling against the master, right?"

Ji Mingyu intentionally turned away, "It does."

The couple, like young lovers experiencing their first love, cuddled intimately for a while until footsteps echoed from the passage again.

Ji Mingyu immediately pushed Chu Xuan away, resuming her usual aloof demeanor.

Chu Xuan looked up and saw it was indeed King Qinguang, accompanied by a stern-looking girl in red.

The girl was carrying a bowl of dark medicine. Whether intentional or not, the bowl looked exactly like the one holding Mengpo Soup.

Upon seeing her, Ji Mingyu frowned, "Offering kindness for no reason, what's your true intention?"

Though Ming Yu had forgotten Chu Xuan, she still remembered being "forced-fed" Mengpo Soup by this woman, instinctively disliking her.

This "Miss Zhu" snorted coldly, "If it weren't for this big brother's sake, do you think I would personally brew and bring the medicine over?"

Upon hearing "big brother," Ji Mingyu instantly became alert, "Why call him so intimately? Chu Xuan doesn't know you."

The little girl rolled her eyes cunningly, "Give him to me, and our matter is settled."

Ji Mingyu's eyes turned icy, "You're courting death!"

Chu Xuan was somewhat helpless, "Young lady, do you have anything for me? Could it be you fancy this flag?"

"Sorry, this flag is my personal treasure. Didn't you see it stayed with me even after I died? I can't give it away."

Miss Zhu nonchalantly waved her hand, "No worries, just follow me in the future. Do whatever I say."

King Qinguang coughed, signaling this lady to show some respect, but it seemed his warnings had fallen on deaf ears.

"Don't even think about it!" Ji Mingyu swiftly rejected, "Take the medicine away; I won't drink it."

"Don't," Chu Xuan stepped forward and took the steaming medicine from Miss Zhu, "You still need to drink it. I can't just give myself and my flag away at random."

"Miss Zhu, how about Ming Yu and I apologize to you together later?"

Miss Zhu sneered, "She almost killed me with one strike. Just apologizing is fine?"

Chu Xuan thought it over, "Then..."

Seeing Chu Xuan open his mouth to "offer favors" again, Ji Mingyu quickly intervened, knowing not what excessive demands this little sly fox would make in the future.

With displeasure, she said, "Alright, if there's anything, direct it at me. At worst, I'll stand still and let you strike me back."

The little girl didn't even look at her, just tiptoeing to whisper something into Chu Xuan's ear.

And she did this deliberately, actually using Divine Sense to transmit sound, ensuring Ji Mingyu couldn't overhear a thing.

This cunning behavior made Ming Yu quietly grit her teeth, longing to kick this tiny pest away from Chu Xuan's side.

Chu Xuan nodded, "I'll try."

Seeing Ji Mingyu's cold gaze, Chu Xuan stepped forward with the medicine bowl, "She didn't ask for anything excessive, just wants me to visit often."

"That's also unacceptable. What's the point for a living person to visit the underworld?"

Chu Xuan didn't argue but coaxed her, "Come on, let's drink the medicine first."

Ji Mingyu was still somewhat resistant, but seeing Chu Xuan's sincere and hopeful look, she couldn't bring herself to refuse and just closed her eyes.

So Chu Xuan immediately brought the bowl to her lips, feeding her sip by sip.

During this time, Ji Mingyu mumbled indistinctly, "It's so bitter; she must have drugged me..."

Once the bowl of medicine was entirely consumed, Chu Xuan looked at her with expectation, "How do you feel? Remember anything?"

Ji Mingyu stared blankly at Chu Xuan. After a while, tears quickly welled up in her eyes.

She cried as she plunged into his arms, whimpering, "Chu Xuan, you scoundrel, how could you leave me alone and just go?"

Only then did Chu Xuan relax, comforting her in his embrace, "My fault, my fault. I'll never leave your side again, alright?"

Ming Yu choked, "You said it, no more shaking me off."

Seeing the two holding each other, reuniting joyfully, King Qinguang wisely said, "Since things are settled, we won't disturb you any longer. You two can return to the mortal realm later."

The girl in red also wanted to linger longer, but seeing King Qinguang's repeated signals, she had no choice but to wave her hand at Chu Xuan, "See you next time then."

Chu Xuan nodded, watching them leave, before turning back again, only to see Ji Mingyu looking at him warily.

He found it amusing, "What do you take me for? She just desires my treasure. It's not like I fancy every girl I see."

Ming Yu then wiped her tears, "Good to know."

She then seemed to remember something, feeling somewhat shy, "So, have you officially forgiven me now?"

Ji Mingyu's tone was a bit guilty, "I admit, I was a bit bad before, ignoring how much I hurt you..."

Chu Xuan nodded, "Didn't I say before? I forgave you long ago."

"As you said, I'm willing to give you a chance to start over, but you mustn't do such excessive things to me again."

Ming Yu naturally nodded repeatedly, feeling as if her heart was filled with sweetness. The years of turmoil, pain, and struggle seemed insignificant now.

She snuggled into Chu Xuan's arms, whispering sweetly, "We've faced so many challenges together, in the past I was indeed a bit self-willed, wanting everything."

"That won't happen anymore. To be with you for life is my greatest wish..."

Chu Xuan lovingly kissed Ji Mingyu's cheek, "That's also my wish."

Ming Yu suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I also want to have children with you."

Chu Xuan laughed, "How many do you want?"

"At least more than Qingqing, ten, no, eleven," Ji Mingyu counted on her fingers.

Chu Xuan nearly burst into laughter, "If someone didn't know, they'd really think Qingqing and I have ten kids already, when there's not even one."

"But you already have with other women," Ji Mingyu said jealously.

"I don't care, anyway, I want my goals to be higher than other women." She silently added: Only this way, can we do it more often than others.

Of course, Chu Xuan was unaware of Ming Yu's "schemes." He nodded, "Then how about we have a whole bunch?"

Ji Mingyu's heart skipped a beat, her face turned rosy, "Hmm hmm, a whole bunch."
