Chapter 145

Chapter 145: Have You Ever Regretted?

Thunk—!!!

With a heavy thud, Hu Qianzao was ruthlessly thrown to the ground by Ye Xuan.

“I didn’t expect there to be so many cultivators in Jianghang City. I almost didn’t escape,” he said, looking at Hu Qianzao on the ground with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

“Ye Xuan, what did you do to me—!!!” Hu Qianzao’s pain had eased somewhat by now, but her forehead was covered in cold sweat, her face pale from the agony, devoid of any color.

Her current appearance evoked pity.

However, looking at Hu Qianzao, Ye Xuan showed no mercy. Instead, he wore a disdainful expression. “Nothing much, just cast a curse called the Heart Devouring Gu on you.”

“What is that?” Hu Qianzao asked.

“Didn’t you just experience it?” Ye Xuan said. “It’s a curse that makes you feel like countless fiery insects are gnawing at your heart.”

“Why—!!!” Hearing this, Hu Qianzao couldn’t help but angrily say, “Why would you do this—!!!”

“Once, I pursued you in every way, but you ignored me,” Ye Xuan said. “Now do you know why?”

“!!!” Hu Qianzao widened her eyes in disbelief.

She never imagined that Ye Xuan would do such a thing just because of this reason?! At this moment, she couldn’t help but laugh at herself.

She had previously had a favorable impression of him, even wanted to take things further. But he turned out to be such a despicable person—!!!

Her judgment of character was really poor…

Seeing Hu Qianzao’s shocked expression, Ye Xuan said smugly, “Now, you’ve finally fallen into my hands. Have you ever regretted it?”

“Regret?” Hearing this, Hu Qianzao’s face twisted with anger as she glared at Ye Xuan. “Yes, I regret it. I can’t believe I let my guard down against you and didn’t bring any guards with me—!!!”

“Hahaha—!!!” Hearing this, Ye Xuan burst into laughter. “I don’t like your attitude towards me, so I’ll make you behave.”

With that, Ye Xuan gathered spiritual qi in his hand and chanted an incantation.

“Uh… Ah… Ah—!!!”

As Ye Xuan chanted the spell, Hu Qianzao suddenly felt as if thousands of insects were gnawing at her heart, so much so that she couldn’t even prepare herself, and she began to scream in agony.

Regardless of her usual beauty, temperament, and status as the palace master of the Jade Fox Palace, here, she was just a pitiful person being tortured by someone.

Her former beauty, temperament, and status only made her appear more pitiful and humble at this moment.

“Tsk tsk tsk, the dignified palace master of the Jade Fox Palace actually lacks backbone. Is a little pain like this worth screaming like this?” Watching Hu Qianzao screaming in agony, Ye Xuan mocked.

He even stepped on Hu Qianzao’s hand and pressed down forcefully. And Hu Qianzao, under the torment of the Heart Devouring Heart Gu, had no resistance at all, and could only endure his humiliation.

———

“―!!!”

Looking at the scene, the people of the Jade Fox Palace were instantly enraged. No one expected Ye Xuan to do something so excessive.

Everything was fine earlier, but now…

Although Hu Qianzao had also done something so excessive to Ye Xuan before, and Ye Xuan was very aggrieved, at that time, it was ultimately because of a misunderstanding on Hu Qianzao’s part that she did such a thing to Ye Xuan.

But the current Ye Xuan and Hu Qianzao had no misunderstandings between them. Did he really become furious and attacked her just because the palace master didn’t agree to his pursuit?!

“Could it be that he loved the palace master so much that he became crazy after not receiving a response from her for so long?”

“Pah, can this be considered love for someone?!!”

“Why would this happen… Ye Xuan was clearly a good person before—!!!”

“Could it be that Ye Xuan was already a bad person before he regained his memories?”

“It’s possible, anyway, I don’t believe he could turn bad in such a short time. He must have been bad before…”

“Do you all remember when Ye Xuan wanted to enter the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion when he just came down from the mountain?”

“A decent person, who would go to such a place? Did Ye Xuan already turn bad before that?”

For a moment, everyone was furious.

However, they also didn’t believe that the previous Ye Xuan would suddenly become so bad. So, they were desperately trying to find reasons for what Ye Xuan was doing now.

However, no matter how they reasoned, the ultimate result was just deep hatred towards Ye Xuan.

In their eyes, their palace master was a lofty figure, the master of the Jade Fox Palace. How could they allow someone to humiliate her like this?!!

Growing more and more angry, their gazes towards Ye Xuan were becoming hostile. While they sympathized, the pitiful previous Ye Xuan didn’t mean that the current Ye Xuan could do such things to their palace master—!!!

Facing the angry gazes of everyone, Ye Xuan remained calm and didn’t say much.

Qingxue and Yuling’er exchanged glances. They were both secretly pondering what the current situation was.

Speaking of which, the Ye Xuan in Hu Qianzao’s storyline had experienced completely different things from the Ye Xuan they had seen in the previous storylines.

That Ye Xuan didn’t fall in love with Yuling’er nor was he chased by Qingxue. Could it be that Ye Xuan’s past had actually changed?

This kind of thing was not impossible, after all, both Yuling’er and Hu Qianzao were reincarnators from the future. With reincarnators present, changes in the past were normal.

In other words, before the past changed, the previous Ye Xuan might have really done such a thing?!!

Although they were willing to believe Ye Xuan and believe there was a misunderstanding, at this moment, they had to prepare for the worst.

If this matter wasn’t explained well, the people of the Jade Fox Palace would definitely not let Ye Xuan off.

Because Ye Xuan had not only humiliated Hu Qianzao, but also the reputation of the Jade Fox Palace. Moreover, according to Hu Qianzao, Ye Xuan would later lead evil cultivators to attack the Jade Fox Palace.

This matter couldn’t be easily explained away.

Before, because of a moment of guilt, Hu Qianzao wanted to let Ye Xuan go. But now, she had calmed down, not to mention the people of the Jade Fox Palace…

Seeing their current appearance, they were itching to rush over and tear Ye Xuan apart.
