Chapter 68

Watching Ye Xuan in the mirror, Yu Ling’er cast a glance at the Ye Xuan beside her. She thought to herself that Ye Xuan’s cultivation speed was so rapid, but compared to him, she seemed far behind.

“Fortunately, I encountered many fortuitous events in the past; otherwise, I would never have matched up to Ye Xuan…”

Observing the scene, Elder Qingxue also remarked, “I didn’t realize how formidable Ye Xuan was back then. I was somewhat complacent, thinking that cultivating wasn’t that difficult. Looking back, if I had sought revenge on Ye Xuan earlier, I probably would have been captured by him.”

Saying this, she was filled with regret. If she had been caught by Ye Xuan earlier and listened to his explanations, she wouldn’t have made such a big blunder today. Was all of this just fate playing tricks? She had let down and hurt Ye Xuan. Now, it was her turn to be embarrassed…

———

In the mirror, Mo Qingxue finally reached the Spirit Insight Realm. Feeling entirely transformed, she coldly declared, “I’ve finally reached the Spirit Insight Realm, Ye Xuan. Today is the day I take my revenge against you!”

Looking towards Ye Xuan’s residence with a chilling gaze, she proclaimed, “You once treated me like a plaything, but now you’re just an ant I can crush at will!”

———

Elder Qingxue felt awkward as she watched this scene. Ye Xuan had already become an immortal, yet there she was, merely in the Spirit Insight Realm, spouting arrogant words of revenge.

She felt her face burning with embarrassment. “Why did I say such things back then? It’s so shameful!”

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Elder Qingxue… you… hahaha…” His laughter was a mix of genuine amusement and pretense. In truth, while the scene was funny, he had already read the script and knew what was coming.

Yu Ling’er laughed as well, covering her stomach, “Ye Xuan is already an immortal, and you’re just at Spirit Insight, yet you talk about treating him like an ant… hahaha!”

“Stop laughing!” Elder Qingxue’s face, as white as snow, turned crimson, like a white plum blossom tinged with red in winter. She never expected her past words of vengeance, which felt so satisfying at the time, to be so awkward now.

Compared to Ye Xuan’s scene, this was like a dark chapter in her history. The more she reacted, the funnier Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er found it.

———

“Ye Xuan, I’ve come for revenge. I hope you won’t be too surprised. Hehe, now I am a Spirit Insight Realm cultivator!” Mo Qingxue coldly laughed and soared into the air, heading towards Wuyuan Town.

———

Elder Qingxue’s face turned even redder upon hearing her own words and cold laughter in the scene. She felt utterly embarrassed by the detailed portrayal of her past actions by the mirror.

“Stop laughing at me!!!” Elder Qingxue, annoyed and embarrassed, scolded Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er, who were laughing at her past actions.

“Alright, alright… we won’t laugh anymore…” Ye Xuan tried to control his laughter, but couldn’t help bursting out again. “I’m not laughing at you… I just remembered something happy.”

Yu Ling’er, trying to contain her laughter, responded, “I… I also remembered something happy.”

Elder Qingxue, feeling even more embarrassed and irritated, helplessly turned her attention back to the scene unfolding in the mirror.

———

“Ye Xuan, come out and face your death!” Mo Qingxue, having attained proficiency in cultivation, arrived above Ye Mansion, standing in the air with an imposing aura. To the onlookers below, she appeared like a descending female immortal, full of vigor and might.

People below were astounded, looking up at her in the sky. “Is that a immortal?”

“Definitely a immortal!”

“Wait, she looks like… Ye’s wife.”

“Really? Ye Xuan’s wife?”

“Yes, Mo Qingxue. I heard that after Ye Xuan married her, he treated her as a slave and even had her brother killed…”

“What? That’s horrible!”

“I also heard that she was pregnant with Ye Xuan’s child, but he forced her to abort the baby.”

“He’s such a monster!”

“Apparently, Mo Qingxue later followed an immortal and learned skills for revenge.”

“Ye Xuan brought this upon himself. A beautiful woman, treated so poorly, is now his formidable enemy.”

———

Elder Qingxue felt increasingly embarrassed watching these scenes. She remembered her early days of cultivation when she rushed to Ye Mansion for revenge.

“Elder Qingxue, with your power back then, you definitely couldn’t defeat Ye Xuan. Did he capture you? Did he explain everything? Or did you not listen to him?” Yu Ling’er asked.

Elder Qingxue shook her head, “I did seek trouble with Ye Xuan, but unfortunately, he wasn’t there… If he had been, perhaps he could have captured me and explained everything, and all the subsequent events could have been avoided…”

“So it was just fate’s arrangement?” Yu Ling’er sounded regretful.

“No, it was scripted,” Ye Xuan murmured to himself, knowing the truth behind these events.

———

“Ye Xuan, come out and face your death, or I will destroy your mansion!” Mo Qingxue’s voice echoed from the sky.

Inside Ye Xuan’s room, however, he wore a face of helplessness.

———

Seeing Ye Xuan appear in the scene, Elder Qingxue was utterly flustered. “But I just said Ye Xuan wasn’t home… What is this?”

Yu Ling’er, equally puzzled, asked Elder Qingxue, “Elder Qingxue, didn’t you say Ye Xuan wasn’t home?”

Elder Qingxue, embarrassed and at a loss for words, stammered, “If he was home, why didn’t he come out?”

———

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan in the scene looked towards the sky, his face filled with worry. “During my tribulation, the illusion of my inner demon spoke the truth. My wife swore to kill me or be condemned to eternal damnation.”

“If I meet her now and explain everything, she will understand the truth and abandon her intent to kill me, which will seal her fate. I can’t meet her!” As he spoke, Ye Xuan’s expression was one of sorrow. Then, forming a hand seal, he transformed into a beam of immortal light and vanished from the room.

———

“So Ye Xuan avoided meeting Elder Qingxue because of her oath,” Yu Ling’er realized. “And that’s why Elder Qingxue had the chance to grow stronger and even surpass Ye Xuan, right?”

Hearing this, Elder Qingxue, with a face full of embarrassment, replied, “I suppose so…”

She remembered her actions from the past, now feeling utterly mortified. Ye Xuan had been considerate of her vow and avoided explaining himself to her, yet she had acted so rashly.

———

“Ye Xuan, have you become a coward now? Are you afraid of me?! Come out!!!” Mo Qingxue shouted fiercely towards Ye Mansion in the sky. “Fine, if you don’t come out, I have other ways. Listen up, everyone in Ye Mansion, get out now or I will turn this place into ruins with a thunderstorm!”

The people in Ye Mansion panicked. “Run, quickly!” “Oh my, the lady of the house is so powerful now!” “She has become an immortal and wants to kill Master Ye.” “What can we do? This is their family matter, do you want to intervene?!”

As people frantically left the mansion, Mo Qingxue watched with a cold smile, shaking her head. “I never imagined that just by reaching the Spirit Insight Realm, I would make Ye Xuan hide like a turtle. Ye Xuan, did you ever think that one day you would tremble before me?”

———

Elder Qingxue’s face turned even redder. She internally screamed, begging for the scene to end. It was so embarrassing. Despite Ye Xuan being an immortal, here she was, a mere Spirit Insight cultivator, boasting on top of his head.

It was utterly humiliating. The truth was out now, and she wished she had known earlier. Her face felt unbearably hot.

Yu Ling’er watched the scene, barely containing her laughter. “Hahaha… Elder Qingxue is so embarrassing. Thinking she’s all that just because she reached the Spirit Insight Realm, assuming Ye Xuan wouldn’t dare to face her, calling him a coward…”

“If it weren’t for Ye Xuan’s affection for her, she might have been embarrassingly proven wrong back then.”

Elder Qingxue’s face flushed even more as she sensed Yu Ling’er’s amusement. She knew exactly what Yu Ling’er was thinking. What she had thought of as a satisfying act of defiance was nothing but a joke.

———

“Ye Xuan, so you don’t dare to face me? Fine, it seems you don’t understand what it means to be a cultivator in the Spirit Insight Realm. Do you really think this shabby little house can protect you?!” Mo Qingxue, hovering in the sky, continued her tirade, seeing that Ye Xuan still hadn’t appeared.

“After enduring so many years for this revenge, I didn’t expect it to feel this exhilarating. The man who once refused to let me bear his child is now so scared he doesn’t dare to show his face… Hehehe…” She chuckled coldly.

“Pfft—!!!” Ye Xuan, who had sneaked off to Qingye Mountain outside Wuyuan Town, couldn’t help but burst into laughter upon hearing Mo Qingxue’s words. “Hahaha… She says I don’t know what it means to be in the Spirit Insight Realm… My wife is just too adorable.”

———

Elder Qingxue covered her face with her hands in embarrassment. She couldn’t believe how awkward everything she did back then looked now.

She wondered why the Former Dust Mirror was so detailed about her embarrassing moments. She had intended her revenge to be satisfying, but now it had turned into a personal embarrassment…

She wished the content would just skip ahead.

Her face burned with embarrassment, especially with Yu Ling’er giggling at her side, making her feel like she was being pricked by needles all over.

The more she hoped for the scenes to be skipped, the more the Front Dust Mirror seemed to be against her, continuing to play out the storyline.

———

“Ye Xuan, oh Ye Xuan…” Looking down at the many people below, all of whom were curiously gazing at the sky, yet Ye Xuan still did not appear, Mo Qingxue couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh,

“Have you really convinced yourself that you can still escape from me at this point? Well, it’s time for you to witness the power of a Spirit Insight Realm cultivator. Don’t think I’m just here to scare you like last time. Today, you must die!”

With these words, she formed a spell with her hands, and her spiritual Qu began to flow through her fingers. An array pattern rapidly expanded between Mo Qingxue’s fingers.

Suddenly, a pattern appeared in the sky, enveloping the entire Ye Mansion in its radiant light. To the commoners below, Mo Qingxue was like a supreme immortal being, a goddess.

———

However, for those outside the scene…

“Ha! ‘Today, you must die’!!!” Yu Ling’er burst into laughter.

“Hahaha!!!” Ye Xuan joined in, “The methods of the Spirit Insight Realm are indeed formidable… but still far behind compared to a true immortal.”

Hearing their laughter, Elder Qingxue felt a surge of irritation. “These two are too much!” she thought, almost wishing she could pummel them for making fun of her.

She was relieved that this embarrassing part of her past was only known to them. The thought of having to silence witnesses crossed her mind, half in jest.
