Chapter 129: It’s Time to Start Regretting
“Ye Xuan… he likes me?”
Hearing what the cultivator from Heavenly Mandate Pavilion had said, Hu Qian’er was taken aback. At this moment, all the things Ye Xuan had done for her involuntarily flashed through her mind.
The image of Ye Xuan, whom she had once despised, suddenly didn’t seem so detestable in her memories. After all, Ye Xuan was quite handsome, and knowing about his deep feelings for her, it was natural for her to start feeling some affection for him.
Especially thinking back to what she had done to Ye Xuan, she now realized those were all misunderstandings…
It was her who had Ye Xuan severely beaten when he was helping her; it was her who had ruined Ye Xuan’s legs, leading him to be ridiculed by people on the streets. Yet, it was Ye Xuan who always appeared to rescue her when she was in the greatest danger.
And each time, what she returned to Ye Xuan were looks of disdain, yet Ye Xuan never seemed to resent her. If this isn’t love, what is it? But… wasn’t Ye Xuan supposed to be in love with Yu Ling’er? Yes, he’s a man; it’s normal for him to like two different women.
However, he probably didn’t expect that his actions for her would lead to Yu Ling’er’s death, or such an outcome for himself. Otherwise, had he known, he certainly wouldn’t have done these things.
At this moment, Hu Qian’er felt that although Ye Xuan did all those things for her, because Ye Xuan loved her, those sacrifices seemed less touching. Because when Ye Xuan stepped into Yu Tieshan’s trap, everything was out of his control.
It could end up this way simply due to bad luck, not necessarily because he truly did it all for her. But regardless, Ye Xuan liked her, and because of all the tragedies she faced, she indeed felt she had wronged Ye Xuan.
“Hehe… do you think that although he did a lot for you, many things weren’t actually his intention?”
Seeing Hu Qian’er’s reaction, the cultivator from Heavenly Mandate Pavilion spoke to her: “Honestly, at first, I also didn’t believe that a person could love another to such an extent. I thought that Ye Xuan had just made a mistake and had to end up with this outcome… but, when I saw Ye Xuan’s body, I thought differently!”
“Senior, what about his body?” Hu Qian’er asked, puzzled.
“Can’t you see?” Hearing Hu Qian’er’s question, the cultivator from Heavenly Mandate Pavilion didn’t elaborate further but cast the Mystical Beginnnings Technique towards the direction of Ye Xuan’s body. The scene shifted, showing the moment Ye Xuan and Hu Qian’er were beneath the ice cavern.
“I absolutely won’t die together with this bastard–!!!” At that time, Hu Qian’er was visibly weak but still looked at Ye Xuan with disdain, the only way she could muster some spirit.
However, soon after, Hu Qian’er collapsed to the ground with a thud.
“I remember this place…” Hu Qian’er said, “After I fainted, Ye Xuan was quietly eating meat on his own… Luckily, I woke up because I smelled the meat, otherwise, he would have eaten all the meat himself. He was just watching me starve to death… This proves that although he likes me, it’s not a deep-seated kind of love. What he did was just a mistake…”
Hearing this, the cultivator from Heavenly Mandate Pavilion looked at Hu Qian’er somewhat oddly, then also curiously watched the scene unfold. In the scene, Hu Qian’er collapsed, and upon seeing this, Ye Xuan rushed over in great urgency.
“Qian’er, Qian’er–!!!” He picked up Hu Qian’er, checked her forehead and nose, and his expression changed drastically.
“Not good… she’s severely weakened from the cold, she might not last until help arrives.” He said this and then without hesitation, bit his own finger and started dripping blood onto Hu Qian’er’s lips. Unfortunately, his blood quickly turned to ice crystals.
In the next moment, Ye Xuan directly placed his finger into Hu Qian’er’s mouth, forcing his blood into her with his qi.
“Uh…” Hu Qian’er was stunned by the scene unfolding before her. Ye Xuan was actually feeding her his blood?!
“Not enough, just feeding blood is not enough.” In the scene, Ye Xuan placed Hu Qian’er on the ground and took the sword that Hu Qian’er had been holding. A look of determination flashed in his eyes.
“What is he going to do–!!!” At that moment, Hu Qian’er’s eyes widened, a bad feeling welling up inside her.

Some of the more faint-hearted disciples at the Jade Fox Palace had already covered their eyes. They knew what they had dreaded was about to happen…
——–
“As long as she can live, then everything I have done so far is worth it.” Saying this, Ye Xuan lifted his trouser leg and slashed his own leg with the sword. The blade was so sharp that a light stroke was enough to cut deeply, separating flesh from bone.
“Ah–!!!” Ye Xuan couldn’t help but scream in agony after slicing a large chunk of flesh from his leg. Yet, without pausing, he made another cut, removing flesh from his other leg.
——–
“Sss—!!!” Just watching this horrific scene made some of the gentler-natured disciples at the Jade Fox Palace gasp in shock. They could almost feel the pain themselves just by watching, yet what they saw filled them with a mix of horror and admiration.
It has to be said, the Ye Xuan of the past was truly an extraordinary person. Throughout history, there have been countless tales of self-sacrifice for others. Yet, those who go to such lengths without seeking anything in return are few, and such individuals are often revered by society as people of great virtue. Ye Xuan’s actions certainly qualified him as one of such people.
——–
Watching Ye Xuan slice off pieces of his own flesh, Hu Qian’er had already started crying. “So that’s how it is… that’s how it is… What have I done–!!!” She had previously thought that Ye Xuan was forced by the situation to go to such lengths. But now?
Now, knowing that they would be rescued, he had still cut his own flesh and drawn his own blood to feed her, cooked his flesh with his qi, and tricked her into eating it. And she, not only did she eat his flesh, but she also ridiculed him for being selfish.
“Ha, haha… Hu Qian’er, you truly deserve to die—!!!” At this moment, Hu Qian’er’s heart was filled with endless regret, “Why did it have to be this way, why—!!!”
