Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness-Chapter 72

Chapter 72:

“No—!!!!” At this moment, Elder Qingxue couldn’t contain herself any longer. Tears streamed down her face as she cried out loud:

“Don’t go, please don’t go… I really will kill you, I won’t listen to your explanation—!!!” She couldn’t help but want to reach out towards the direction of the Former Dust Mirror.

But the events in the mirror had happened hundreds of years ago. How could she possibly touch them?

Elder Qingxue, at this moment, was no longer the icy celestial fairy she once was. Her appearance, filled with pain and regret, made Yu Ling’er also start to cry.

She had understood everything now. It was apparent.

Ye Xuan had intentionally let Elder Qingxue kill him, and even Elder Qingxue’s later achievements were purposefully cultivated by Ye Xuan…

But Ye Xuan had thought that Elder Qingxue would see his explanation. Unfortunately, Elder Qingxue did not. That’s what led to the current scene of Elder Qingxue wanting to kill Ye Xuan—!!!

“But that’s not right… Elder Qingxue, if you didn’t see Ye Xuan’s explanation, then how did you know that his past life and his current one are the same person?” Suddenly, Yu Ling’er came to a realization and asked the grieving Elder Qingxue.

“Woo woo…” Elder Qingxue was already in uncontrollable tears and sobs, far from her previous cold, fairy-like demeanor.

She cried, saying: “It was Ye Xuan… he told me before he died… I never gave him a chance to explain, not even before he died—!!!”

Her voice, filled with pain, became somewhat hoarse as she almost roared out these words.

———

Hearing this, Yu Ling’er fell into a silent reflection. Everything became clear…

Ye Xuan was in despair until his death because Mo Qingxue never gave him a chance to explain. Just like Yu Ling’er in her past life, she also did not give him a chance to explain.

Thinking this, Yu Ling’er’s tears began to fall again.

However, the scene in the mirror had not yet ended…

———

“Ah, if my wife sees my explanation, she should understand, right? Hehe, even though I will forget her, we can still continue our previous relationship. It’s also a way. Her gentle and kind nature, she will definitely treat me well. She will surely make me remember her again…”

After completing the memory essence, Ye Xuan spoke these words. A look of longing appeared in his eyes.

———

“No… no… I didn’t, I’m not gentle at all, I’m not kind at all, I’m just a vicious, despicable woman, please… don’t come to find me–!!!” At this moment, Elder Qingxue was no longer concerned about her image.

She knelt on the ground, crying out loud. Ye Xuan had so many expectations for the future, but what did she give back to him? Right before killing Ye Xuan, she crushed the memory essence he gave her. She watched Ye Xuan die with despair in his eyes–!!!

Upon meeting him again, she intended to kill Ye Xuan, even slapping him twice in a moment of indignation. How could she be considered gentle and kind? She was nothing but an ungrateful and vicious woman–!!!

Yu Ling’er looked at Elder Qingxue, wiping the tears from her face. It felt like she was seeing her past self. Back then, she also just learned the truth, realizing how much she had wronged Ye Xuan. She was so heartbroken and guilty that she nearly collapsed.

Sigh…

That’s why she had told Qingxue earlier that there must be a misunderstanding. But Qingxue wouldn’t listen, and now, look at her crying like this. Isn’t it a slap in the face? If she had listened to her earlier…

Compared to that, she was still better off, since Ye Xuan had watched everything from beginning to end, so she didn’t have to explain everything again to him.

She almost got hated by Ye Xuan for wanting to kill him and didn’t even have a chance to explain. If it weren’t for her thick-skinnedness, she might not even be able to speak with Ye Xuan now.

Just when both women thought the story was ending there, the scene in the mirror continued.

———

Holding the memory essence, Ye Xuan hesitated, “Although this way, my wife will understand everything, can she accept it?”

“She is so kind and gentle, knowing that she has been misunderstanding me all along… And she killed me with her own hands, can she bear it? No, absolutely not–!!!” Saying so, Ye Xuan crushed the memory essence in his hand.

———

“Ah…”

Seeing this scene, Qingxue, who was crying bitterly, was stunned. Yu Ling’er was also taken aback. Both of them watched the scene in the mirror in shock.

But then they saw Ye Xuan forming another memory essence. This time, his expression turned sinister.

———

“Hehe, Mo Qingxue, you wretched woman, I never thought you would one day kill me. Good, but don’t be too proud. I tell you, I am immortal.”

“Even after death, I won’t enter the cycle of reincarnation. When I recall everything in the future, I will come back to properly ‘educate’ you… Hahahaha–!!!”

After finishing, he stopped preserving the memory essence and seemed to age all at once, sitting on the ground powerlessly. “Even though this will make my wife hate me more, even want to kill me when we meet next time… it’s better than making her feel guilty about me from now on.”

As he spoke, tears of frustration flowed from Ye Xuan’s eyes again.

———

If Elder Qingxue felt guilty before for not giving Ye Xuan a chance to explain, now she felt even more so. She had always thought that Ye Xuan didn’t really like her, only realizing through the previous scenes how important she actually was to him.

He was even willing to die for her. But only at this moment did she fully understand that Ye Xuan was not just willing to die for her, he was even willing to risk being chased and killed by her, all to spare her any distress…

His love for her was so profound. But how had she treated him?

“Pfft–!!!” Suddenly, Qingxue spat out blood, overwhelmed by a rush of emotion.

“Elder Qingxue, are you alright–!!!” Seeing her in this state, Yu Ling’er hurriedly wiped her tears and asked with concern.

“Hehe… What kind of person am I… To think I had the audacity to behave like that in front of Ye Xuan, even hitting him… Is there anyone more heartless, ungrateful, and vicious than me in this world?”

At this moment, Qingxue was utterly moved by the story, seemingly losing her ability to think clearly.

Ye Xuan thought to himself. He didn’t intend to make the plot this tragic, but since he needed to clear his villainous image, he had to do it thoroughly.

To cleanse it properly, he had to turn Mo Qingxue into a weeping woman, otherwise, wouldn’t it seem like he really deserved to die? It looked like he had successfully redeemed himself once again.

There was no need to watch the later part of the plot where Qingxue tries to kill him. These events, Qingxue herself was well aware of. Considering all the current scenarios, Mo Qingxue’s worldview had completely collapsed.

“My husband… I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I don’t dare to ask for your forgiveness, but I’m sorry–!!!” Suddenly, Qingxue knelt before Ye Xuan, crying incessantly, begging him for forgiveness.

“It’s my fault, if I had given you a chance to explain, if I had listened to your explanation, you wouldn’t have had to suffer so much, I’m sorry–!!! Punish me, scold me–!!! Please… give me another chance to make it up to you–!!!”

A female immortal kneeling before a newly enlightened minor cultivator was a scene that would have shattered anyone’s worldview had they seen it. Yet, this was happening right in front of Ye Xuan.

He sighed, gently lifted her up, then embraced her, saying, “Don’t be sad, I’m here.”

Qingxue burst into tears again in Ye Xuan’s arms. If the members of Taihua Immortal Gate saw their usually cold and reserved Elder Qingxue weeping in the arms of a young disciple, they would probably be in shock.

“Uh…” Yu Ling’er was stunned by the scene in front of her. Her face twitched…

She hadn’t even had the chance to be embraced by Ye Xuan like this, yet Elder Qingxue was already in his arms. It was infuriating! However, this wasn’t the time to be jealous. Although she was frustrated, she could only watch from the side.

“Ding, congratulations to the host, your script has successfully cleared your villainous image, making the second heroine, Mo Qingxue, so moved that she begs for forgiveness, throws herself into your arms, weeps uncontrollably, and experiences a mental breakdown.

“Host receives a system reward: a One-Tribulation Immortal Realm Spiritual Essence. With this essence, the host can exhibit power beyond the One-Tribulation Immortal Realm when needed.”

If this had been before, Ye Xuan would have been overjoyed to hear such a reward. But now, well…

Ye Xuan had already experienced the sensation of being a One-Tribulation Immortal through the script editor. Now, merely receiving a One-Tribulation Immortal’s spiritual essence as a reward seemed a bit underwhelming.

If it weren’t for his scripted death, he might have become an immortal on his own by now. However, the system wouldn’t allow him to gain too much too quickly.

Otherwise, he could have just set himself up as a superpower from the past, currently unsealing his own powers, and become an immensely powerful being instantly. But the system had already mentioned that it wasn’t particularly powerful, so having these rewards was already quite good.

Moreover, his real reward was in the melodramatic past he shared with Mo Qingxue. Although his main task then was to torment the heroine, he had also devoted himself to cultivation and even reached the Immortal Realm.

The combat techniques he learned in the past were still within him, ready to be used whenever necessary. With such a background, his future cultivation would certainly be more effective, and his true strength was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

“My husband… have you remembered everything?” Mo Qingxue suddenly looked up at Ye Xuan and asked.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan looked down at Mo Qingxue and said, “Yes, I remember everything… our entire past, even how deep you are.”

He was actually trying to come up with a reason to tell Mo Qingxue that he had remembered everything. In reality, he had just died in the past and returned through reincarnation.

“??!!!” Yu Ling’er was somewhat puzzled. What did he mean by ‘how deep’?

Mo Qingxue’s face turned bright red as she realized, “Husband… it really is you…”

Such words had never been spoken in the previous scenes from the Former Dust Mirror. It was something Ye Xuan had joked about with her. This meant that Ye Xuan indeed remembered everything.

Realizing this, Mo Qingxue felt even more guilty. Her face was a mix of embarrassment and remorse as she said, “Husband… I’m sorry… I didn’t know… I’m so sorry for making you suffer so much–!!!”

“It’s okay,” Ye Xuan replied with a smile. “Everything was my choice… But since you owe me, you’ll have to make it up to me later.”

“Of course.” Mo Qingxue nodded earnestly.

Mo Qingxue nodded slightly, her face turning even redder. She understood what Ye Xuan meant. If it had been hundreds of years ago, shortly after she and Ye Xuan got married, such a situation wouldn’t have been a big deal for her.

But now, she felt somewhat shy. Just a moment ago, she was extremely heartbroken, but now, with just a few words from Ye Xuan, she was no longer as sad and had even started to feel happy.

Yu Ling’er, watching the two of them, felt utterly out of place. She wondered what was going on. Why did she feel like an unwanted third wheel?

Just moments ago, she was on Ye Xuan’s side, and now, she seemed superfluous as Mo Qingxue and Ye Xuan embraced. This realization made her incredibly frustrated. When did things start going this way?

“Am I not supposed to be here?” Yu Ling’er blurted out, feeling like an intruder.

Hearing her, Ye Xuan and Mo Qingxue turned their gaze towards her, looking as if they were thinking, “Oh? There’s someone else here?”

Yu Ling’er felt even more dejected, on the verge of tears.

Ye Xuan, noticing her discomfort, said with a smile, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. You’re just in time. Come here.” He extended his hand towards her, “There’s still a place in my arms.”

Hearing this, Yu Ling’er’s mood lifted, but she also felt a bit conflicted. Finally, Ye Xuan was opening his arms to her, but did she really have to share this moment with another woman?

However, her jealousy quickly subsided as she realized that she owed Ye Xuan, not the other way around. Both she and Jiang Ling’er owed Ye Xuan a lifetime of gratitude. She couldn’t let her own feelings get in the way of his happiness.

Realizing that she couldn’t let go of Ye Xuan’s embrace as Jiang Ling’er had in the previous life due to jealousy, Yu Ling’er walked over to him and leaned into his embrace, her cheeks flushed. She thought to herself, “So this is what it feels like to be in the arms of the man you love.”

She noticed Mo Qingxue looking at her with a complex expression. It was clear that no woman would want to share her love with another, and this was even more true for cultivators who had few worldly concerns.

However, at that moment, both of them were content. They owed Ye Xuan so much that they could never repay him in a lifetime. Now, not only were they with the man they loved, but they were also repaying their debt to him.

As long as there was no conflict, they would not fight each other. The atmosphere became unexpectedly warm and harmonious.
