Chapter 593

Chapter 593 -200

Chu Xuan appeared thoughtful, “I understand now, so that’s how it is.”

“It wasn’t the Celestial Daoist Book that made me cut off a segment of my finger and throw it into the immortal pool, it was you, wasn’t it?”

“What vision did you see in the Celestial Daoist Book that day? Can you tell me?”

When her little secret was revealed by Chu Xuan, Zhang Mengxian silently spat out that piece of finger and slightly lowered her head, saying:

“I saw a vision about your future, and it was a future not far from now…”

“That time, after you saw Jiang Yiyi’s future vision, you were in a hurry to leave, and I was the one who called you back.”

“I said that staying here alone was very lonely, and I hoped you could stay by my side, but you showed a very troubled expression.”

“So I just said: even if it’s just a finger, it’s fine.”

“You readily agreed, drew your sword, cut off your index finger, and threw it into the Merak Immortal Pool…”

“It was supposed to be like this, but because you saw that scene from the future in advance, doubts arose.”

“I hesitated for a moment and still didn’t tell you the real reason, I just went along with your guess, pushing the reason onto the Celestial Daoist Book.”

Chu Xuan felt a bit surprised after hearing this, while Jiang Yiyi gave him a peculiar look, whispering in his ear: “She’s already just a head, and you still did that?”

Ye Xingming, on the other hand, looked on calmly, unfazed.

Chu Xuan thought for a moment and casually asked the two to step aside for a bit, “I want to have a private talk with Mengxian, I’m afraid your presence might inhibit her.”

Jiang Yiyi pouted a little but agreed.

So after the Merak Immortal Pool quieted down, Chu Xuan smiled as he looked at the woman in the pool who was lowering her head in silence, he gestured to her and said:

“Mengxian, come over, let’s talk in private, I want to understand your thoughts.”

Zhang Mengxian hesitated for a moment but felt a surge of accumulated emotion taking over, prompting her to move closer to Chu Xuan, trying to express her feelings and thoughts…

When Zhang Mengxian first gained consciousness, it took her quite a while to recall who Chu Xuan was, anyway, he was a very bad person, that’s for sure, who had stolen her treasures and trapped her trying to refine her to death.

But later, after spending days and nights with Chu Xuan, slowly getting to know him, understanding his character, his inner world, his way of doing things, and his manner of speaking, this perception slowly began to change.

The whole process was gradual until that day, when Chu Xuan suddenly asked a strange question, saying something like, “Can I make it to the other side?”

When she replied “Yes”, Chu Xuan said: “Even if it’s for you, I will try my best to reach the end.”

This was the first time her heart felt a strong emotional impact, one she fears she’ll never forget.

Since then, Zhang Mengxian’s perspective on Chu Xuan became distinctly different…

Earlier by the immortal pool, she was dissatisfied with Ji Mingyu’s possessiveness, asking Chu Xuan if he could drive that woman away?

At that time, Chu Xuan’s response was: It’s because she likes me that she wants to possess me.

Zhang Mengxian originally wanted to continue saying something, but suddenly felt somewhat despondent, and just lowered her head without speaking, not responding even when Chu Xuan asked.

The reason was simple, she wanted to say: I like you too, I also want to possess you.

But upon deeper thought, it didn’t seem quite right.

For Zhang Mengxian, the emotion of liking was an unfamiliar one, she pondered within herself: is this emotion I feel in my heart really liking?

I’m not human, at least not yet fully human, do I even have the right to say I like Chu Xuan?

Therefore, she remained silent.

Among humans, does liking always involve a desire to possess someone fully? Zhang Mengxian didn’t understand this feeling, so just before Chu Xuan was about to leave, she did so instinctually.

Her thoughts were simple: even if I can’t possess the whole person of Chu Xuan, possessing just a finger would also be good.

Recently, Zhang Mengxian even had a dream, the first dream “in her life.”

She dreamt that after warming the Life Creation Pill, she refined its power into that finger, forcibly recreating a “Chu Xuan.”

This Chu Xuan had no soul, couldn’t speak, just lay quietly asleep, yet remained by her side every day.

Zhang Mengxian was very pleased, she originally intended to hide and keep this private, but just when she first kissed this Chu Xuan, he suddenly woke up and asked why he was there?

In conclusion, it was a dream like a fairy tale, where she wanted to privately possess him.

…

After hearing Zhang Mengxian’s confession, to be honest, Chu Xuan felt a little shocked.

He hadn’t imagined that after all these years of interaction, such intense feelings had accumulated in the beauty’s heart towards him.

He thought about it and said, “Your feelings aren’t wrong, what you feel in your heart is indeed liking, and you do have the right to say you like me.”

“Really?” Zhang Mengxian looked hopeful, “Then can I someday possess you on my own?”

“Well,” Chu Xuan said awkwardly, “that might be a bit difficult, but I promise you, after your body is fully reshaped, you can still be by my side as before.”

Zhang Mengxian nodded, murmuring to herself, “That’s good, that’s good.”

Only then did Chu Xuan mention that he had previously died once and concluded, “Now I need that finger to be able to resurrect, can you return it to me first?”

“Before I leave, I can cut off another one to accompany you.”

Zhang Mengxian readily agreed, somewhat embarrassed, “There’s no need to cut it off again…”
