Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness

Chapter 62

Chapter 62

In the scene, Ye Xuan mounted a fast horse and headed towards the Qingyu Temple. Urging his horse to go faster, he soon reached the mountain temple.

“Seeker Ye, why have you returned so soon?” Daoist Qingyu asked Ye Xuan.

“Daoist Master, my wife has been bewitched by an evil spirit!” Ye Xuan exclaimed.

“Oh?!!” Daoist Qingyu urged him to elaborate quickly.

Ye Xuan recounted everything he had witnessed and heard earlier.

“Hiss… I didn’t expect that, despite living a life of good deeds, Seeker Ye would encounter such misfortune. Your esteemed wife, I’m afraid, is entangled with a fox fetus,” Daoist Qingyu said after hearing the story.

“A fox fetus?” Ye Xuan asked. “What is that?”

“It’s a type of lazy fox spirit that prefers shortcuts to diligent cultivation,” Daoist Qingyu explained. “They practice a spell that allows them to reside in a woman’s womb, absorbing her vital energy daily, just like a baby. Eventually, the woman dies, and others only think it’s a case of ‘one corpse, two lives.'”

“Ah?!!” Ye Xuan was shocked. “What should I do? Please help, Daoist Master!”

“I can’t help,” Daoist Qingyu shook his head. “If I show up, the fox spirit will know her deception has been discovered. She will then threaten your wife’s life and refuse to leave.”

“So I can only watch my wife die?!!” Ye Xuan became enraged.

“Not necessarily…” Daoist Qingyu continued. “The fox spirit and the host feel each other’s pain due to the nature of this spell. If you can make it unbearable for her, forcing her to leave voluntarily, that could work.”

“But you must not let her know your intent, or she will refuse to leave. She might even demand you cater to her every need until her cultivation is complete. This will depend on whether you, Seeker Ye, can be ruthless enough.”

“I understand, Daoist Master,” Ye Xuan said after a deep breath. “Luckily, I haven’t explained anything to her yet… Haha, I’m already seen as a villain in her eyes, so doing evil deeds is something I’m quite good at.”

“Also, there’s one more thing I should warn you about,” Daoist Qingyu added. “Such low-level fox spirits can’t harm people easily. If there’s a demon in your house, it must be the doing of someone close to you.”

“Someone close to me? Haha, what an ‘intimate’ person indeed!” Ye Xuan nodded in understanding.

In the scene, Elder Qingxue couldn’t help but slap herself twice on the face. Despite being metaphorically slapped many times before, she was struck hard by reality again.

She had thought Ye Xuan’s cruel behavior towards her was due to his knowledge of the truth, but now it became clear that wasn’t the case. Ye Xuan knew far more than she had realized.

All of his actions towards her were actually attempts to help her, while she mistakenly believed he was a heartless brute, even towards his pregnant wife. Now, all truths were unveiled, and Qingxue sighed deeply.

“So it is… it’s always been me who owed Ye Xuan… How ridiculous that I thought I had any right to hate him for hundreds of years!” Qingxue realized that it was she, Mo Qingxue, who had always been in Ye Xuan’s debt. Ye Xuan had been misunderstood by her all along.

She knew what was going to happen next, but she couldn’t help but continue watching the scene unfold.

“Doctor, how is this wretch?” Ye Xuan’s voice sounded as Mo Qingxue, still drowsy, heard him. She didn’t know when he had returned, only remembering waiting for him late into the night. His words, however, were like needles to her heart.

“Cough… Madam…” the doctor’s awkward voice replied.

“What madam? Doctor, you don’t think I actually consider this wretch my wife, do you? She’s just a slave to me.” Ye Xuan’s cold voice followed.

“Cough, well… Miss Mo… she is pregnant,” the doctor hesitantly informed.

“Congratulations…” he added.

“What congratulations? I only played with this wretch a few times and she got pregnant, damn it!” Ye Xuan exclaimed. “Doctor, get me some abortion pills. This cursed child should be gotten rid of.”

“Ah… Master Ye, you aren’t joking, are you?”

“Do I look like I’m joking? This worthless woman doesn’t deserve to bear my children. I only married her to enjoy a variety of pleasures.”

“Err…”

“Stop erring. Get the medicine or believe me, I’ll wreck your shop.”

“Yes… Master Ye, I’ll get it… Ahh~”

Listening to this conversation in a daze, tears began flowing uncontrollably from Mo Qingxue’s eyes. The reality was too hard to accept.

Everything was false – his kindness towards her, the happiness she thought she had, all of it. He didn’t even want to keep their child…

———

“This… Although I know Ye Xuan doesn’t truly mean those words, isn’t this going a bit too far?” Yu Ling’er looked at Ye Xuan with concern.

“What are you looking at me for?” Ye Xuan asked. “Do you think it’s my fault?”

“No, no… not at all… It’s just that Mo Qingxue is really pitiable…” Yu Ling’er shook her head.

Elder Qingxue also felt a wave of emotion. It made sense why she was so drowsy and couldn’t wake up back then.

Ye Xuan must have deliberately made her unconscious to spare her from heartache. Those words were intended for the fox spirit within her. Sadly, she ended up hearing them anyway.

———

“I’m sorry, Qingxue… If I didn’t do this, you would have died. I’ll explain everything to you later.” Ye Xuan, holding a bowl of chicken soup, muttered to himself as he walked to the room.

Mo Qingxue was already sitting up when he opened the door. Seeing Ye Xuan, she panicked.

“Oh, my wife, you’re awake. Here, I had someone prepare a bowl of chicken soup for you. Come, drink it.” Ye Xuan approached Mo Qingxue with a mischievous look.

Remembering what she had overheard while half-conscious, Mo Qingxue became frantic. “No… don’t come over here—!!!”

“My wife, what are you doing?” Ye Xuan asked as he saw her fear. “I had someone specially prepare this chicken soup for you. You must drink it. It’s a delightful thing, this soup.”

“No, no, Master Ye, I beg you, don’t… This is abortion medicine, isn’t it? Isn’t it—!!!” Mo Qingxue quickly got off the bed and knelt before Ye Xuan. “Husband, I beg you, spare the child in my belly. He… he’s your flesh and blood too.”

“My flesh and blood? The thing in your belly, worthy of being called my flesh and blood?” Ye Xuan sneered. “It seems you’ve guessed it right. Yes, this is abortion medicine. If you don’t drink this soup, I’ll have to harm your family.”

“No… no… please don’t!” Mo Qingxue shook her head. “Please, let my family go. I’ll do anything you ask—!!!”

“Anything, huh? Well then, obediently drink this soup.” Ye Xuan replied.

“No… I won’t drink it… I won’t…” Mo Qingxue refused, overcome with desperation.

Mo Qingxue shook her head. “You harm my family, I still won’t drink. I’d rather die than drink it!” she said desperately. “This is my child—!”

Seeing her like this, Ye Xuan almost showed a look of compassion. However, he steeled himself. “Won’t drink? Then I’ll make you drink!” Ye Xuan said as he forcibly opened Mo Qingxue’s mouth and poured the soup in.

Despite her resistance, she was no match for Ye Xuan and was forced to drink.

“No, don’t… please…” After Ye Xuan released her, Mo Qingxue desperately tried to spit out the soup, causing her throat to ache, but it was to no avail.

“No… How can there be such a heartless and ruthless man in this world—!!!” Even the fox spirit in Mo Qingxue’s belly was getting overwhelmed.

“This Ye Xuan is utterly despicable. Even if he doesn’t like Mo Qingxue and sees her just as a plaything, does he need to go this far? Or is he still holding a grudge because of Miss Jiang? It’s unreasonable.”

She mumbled to herself: “It’s fake, it must be fake… He can’t be this heartless. Oh, I get it. He’s still angry, yet he can’t bear to be kind to Mo Qingxue, so he’s tormenting her on purpose.”

“But in reality, he can’t bring himself to truly harm her. Although he looked fierce just now, he didn’t really harm Mo Dazhuang. Because deep down, he still cares about Mo Qingxue…”

“Ah, what’s the point?” Ye Xuan said, seeing Mo Qingxue in such a state. “I don’t even want this child, and here you are, desperately trying to bear it for me. You’re almost moving me to tears.”

“Indeed… Everyone’s heart is made of flesh… A day as husband and wife means a hundred days of grace. Ye Xuan really can’t be harsh to Mo Qingxue,” the fox spirit inside Mo Qingxue thought gleefully.

“And this chicken soup doesn’t even have any abortion medicine, haha… it actually tastes pretty good. Ye Xuan, oh Ye Xuan, you really can’t be cruel to her—!!!”
