Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness

Chapter 161: Please, Forgive Me

Qingxue and Yu Ling’er provoked her with words, merely to make Hu Qianzao understand Ye Xuan’s virtues. Then, owing Ye Xuan more favors would bring greater benefits to him in the future.

If this Palace Master of the Jade Fox could truly fall in love with Ye Xuan, that would be even better. However, they did not expect that Hu Qianzao would feel so ashamed that she would think of taking her own life.

If her palm had struck her immortal spirit, she might truly died. The palm strike came so suddenly that no one could save her in time.

Just then, Ye Xuan reacted quickly, casting a spiritual spell through the air towards Hu Qianzao. The next moment, around Hu Qianzao, a huge circle of swords formed, with several qi swords revolving within, restraining all of Hu Qianzao’s movements.

The next moment, Lan Bai and Hu Lan had already reached Hu Qianzao’s side, about to subdue her. Seeing the sword circle that suddenly trapped Hu Qianzao, both of them couldn’t help but show a look of surprise.

“Celestial Crimson Sword–!”

Their astonished gazes turned towards Ye Xuan. The Celestial Crimson Sword scripture, authored by the ancestral master of Taihua Immortal Gate, Bixia Zhenren, was said to be so difficult that even Qin Zhenren had not mastered it.

Only Bixia Zhenren herself could perform this technique in the world. Both of them, in their youth, had once witnessed the power of the Celestial Crimson Sword scripture.

Unexpectedly, today they saw it executed by Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan’s talent in swordsmanship was terrifyingly formidable–!!! Both unconsciously shook by the Celestial Crimson Sword that Ye Xuan displayed, but they also knew that now was not the time to be shocked.

At this moment, Ye Xuan slowly approached Hu Qianzao, squatted in front of her, and spoke, “What do you mean by this? You owe me a debt you could never repay in a lifetime, yet now you seek to end it all? Do you intend, after your death, to have the people of Jade Fox Palace seek revenge against me for forcing you to die, to make me live in unrest, is that it?!”

“Uh…”

Everyone thought that Ye Xuan would comfort Hu Qianzao a few words, telling her not to take past events to heart, urging her not to think of suicide. Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan completely changed his previous attitude and spoke such words.

“I… I didn’t… I just…” Facing Ye Xuan’s gaze, Hu Qianzao was extremely guilt-ridden.

Just now, she had been overwhelmed with shame and impulsively harbored thoughts of suicide. Now, hearing Ye Xuan’s words, she realized that her actions were completely framing Ye Xuan in injustice.

Originally, Ye Xuan could have righteously communicated with the people of the Jade Fox Palace. But if she had killed herself, Ye Xuan would have been burdened with the accusation of driving her to death.

Where was she apologizing to Ye Xuan? She was actually harming him–!!!

“Palace Master, Ye Xuan is right,” At this moment, Ren Bai also spoke to Hu Qianzao, “If you end it all now, it might be an easy way out for you, but poor Ye Xuan would be unjustly burdened with the crime of killing you… Even though we of the Jade Fox Palace wronged him first, if you really died, do you think there would still be a good outcome between Jade Fox Palace and Ye Xuan?!”

Hearing this, Hu Qianzao felt even more ashamed. For a moment, she did not know what to do, looking at Ye Xuan, wanting to speak but unsure what to say.

Ask for his forgiveness?

How could she have the face to ask him?

To let him kill her as punishment, would he really be willing to do such a thing?

“Palace Master… get up, have you forgotten? Ye Xuan… he loves you.” Just then, Hu Lan spoke up, “He is willing to give everything for you. Do you think, seeing you like this, he is really happy?”

As her gaze met Ye Xuan’s, Hu Lan’s eyes carried a hint of different emotion. Hearing this, a light dawned on Hu Qianzao, and she looked at Ye Xuan. Yes, Ye Xuan loves me, he wouldn’t be happy seeing me like this.

No wonder, he deliberately said those words. He was intentionally trying to provoke me to pull myself together. With this thought, she slowly stood up, her dark eyes earnestly looking at Ye Xuan, and she spoke seriously, “Ye Xuan… rest assured, I won’t disappoint you. I was wrong just now, I understand now… from now on, I will spend my life making it up to you–!”

As she spoke, her cheeks slightly reddened, filled with a bit of anticipation. In her past life, she had only had a vague fondness for Ye Xuan. It was merely a girl’s springtime fantasy, not true love.

However, at this moment, after seeing the scenes between Ye Xuan and herself, she finally understood that she truly liked Ye Xuan. She owed Ye Xuan too much, so much that only a lifetime could repay. Yet, at this moment, she felt somewhat uneasy.

In her previous life, she had hurt Ye Xuan so much; would the current Ye Xuan really accept her compensation? Even if Ye Xuan really didn’t take to heart what happened in their past lives, seeing what was to come in the future, would he really not mind at all?

Clearly, he was devoted to her, yet she misunderstood him in every way, never listening to his explanations, and even, she had killed him with her own hands, making him bear sins that should not have been his.

“It’s really good that you’ve come to understand.” Ye Xuan had also dropped his previously feigned cold demeanor, smiling as he said to Hu Qianzao, “Actually, I don’t want anything in return from you… You don’t need to repay me anything…”

“–!!!”

Hearing this, Hu Qianzao became anxious, she quickly asked, “You… you really don’t want to forgive me?!!”

“Uh… no…” Ye Xuan said, “Didn’t I say, as long as you’re happy, anything is fine.”

“But, for me now, being able to repay the debt I owe you is the happiest thing–!” Hu Qianzao unconsciously grabbed Ye Xuan’s hand, saying to him, “Please, forgive my ignorance and the harm I did to you in the past life, let me properly repay you in this life, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong–! As long as you agree, let me serve you as a beast of burden or a slave, I am willing.”

“Uh…” Seeing Hu Qianzao like this, Ye Xuan put on a troubled expression. After all, in his script, he loved Hu Qianzao to the extreme, naturally, he wouldn’t want any repayment from her.

At this time, he could only pretend not to want any repayment. As long as she is happy, anything is fine and the like. Thinking this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but feel depressed, speaking to those nearby, “Why are you all just standing there watching? Isn’t this the time for you to come out and persuade me to accept Hu Qianzao’s repayment? If I agree myself, it seems very insincere–!!!”

At this moment, Hu Qianzao already had tears in her eyes, how could she see Ye Xuan’s ulterior motives. The others also felt it was not their place to intervene in their affairs, naturally, no one spoke up.

Qingxue and Yu Ling’er initially wanted to play the villains, but seeing Hu Qianzao so heartbroken and guilty, and recalling how they once begged Ye Xuan for forgiveness, they couldn’t bear it either.

Although in the future, Hu Qianzao did indeed harm Ye Xuan, now, there was still a chance for things to turn around. Being on good terms with the Jade Fox Palace, and moreover, having the Palace Master of the Jade Fox devoted to Ye Xuan, would be beneficial for Ye Xuan later on.

Thinking this, Qingxue spoke up, “Husband, in my opinion, just let her repay you. I want to see if she can really do what she claims, being a beast of burden or a slave, I don’t believe it.”

As she spoke, her lips curved with a slightly malicious smile.

“Right.” Yu Ling’er also added, “She is the esteemed Palace Master of the Jade Fox, lofty and high. Now, she’s just saying nice things for you to hear, just agree and let her try; maybe in a couple of days, she’ll regret it.”

“I will not regret–!!!” Hu Qianzao’s nine tails shook rapidly, as she knelt in front of Ye Xuan, saying to him, “Ye Xuan, if you don’t let me compensate you… I might as well die, after all, without your forgiveness, there’s no meaning in living.”

“You–!” Hearing this, Ye Xuan wore an expression of helplessness, and then, he sighed, “Get up, I agree… I really don’t want your compensation.”

“It’s up to you whether you want it or not, but how can I have the face to appear before you if I don’t repay everything I owe you?!” Hu Qianzao was thrilled, happily saying, “Everyone saw it, he agreed himself to let me compensate him, no matter what I do to repay him, he must not refuse, if he regrets it later, you all must testify for me–!”

Saying this, her gaze swept over the crowd around her.

“Indeed, we all heard.” The members of the Jade Fox Palace quickly said, “Ye Xuan, our palace master is sorry to you, but you have already agreed to give her a chance to make amends to you, you must not refuse to let her make amends because of the past—!”

“We know, you like our palace master, and do not want her to feel guilty about you, but she owes you so much, how can she feel at ease if you do not let her pay off the debt she owes you?!”

“Palace master, hang in there, don’t let those two women look down on you—!”

“We believe you can do it, one day, you will repay what you owe Ye Xuan, and then, you can stand by his side with your head held high.”

“…”

For a moment, the people of the Jade Fox Palace were all speaking up for Hu Qianzao. However, after their words ended, they all started to look a bit strange.

“I feel like what I just said was a bit weird.” Someone said.
