Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness C.125

Chapter 125: Silence Falls

Hu Qian’er, having been a wealthy young lady from birth, had never experienced hunger or cold, not even the slightest bit of discomfort. At this moment, she felt as if her body was freezing solid. Sitting on the icy ground, she couldn’t help but hug her arms, shivering uncontrollably.

Looking at Ye Xuan, a look of uncontrollable hatred appeared in her eyes. She had been trapped in this cold abyss with Ye Xuan for three whole days now. Normally, anyone would have frozen to death here in three days. Even for martial artists like them, it was extremely tough.

To maintain their body temperature using their qi, they had to expend more energy, which needed to be replenished with food. But where could they find food in this cold abyss?

For the first two days, she had remained calm. But now, as her physical strength waned, she could no longer maintain her body temperature. It felt colder by the day, and she was growing increasingly irritable. She was going mad.

Unable to restrain herself, she cursed at Ye Xuan. “You bastard, it’s all your fault–!!! I’ll never forgive you even in death–!!!”

Faced with Hu Qian’er’s curses, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Unexpectedly, all his efforts had led to this outcome. He failed to save Hu Qian’er, Ling’er had sacrificed herself, and now he too was going to die here.

Although Yu Tieshan should have received his retribution by now, even if he was punished, those who were harmed by him won’t come back.

But… Looking up at the sky, Ye Xuan showed a trace of anxiety. Was Hu Qian’er really going to die here?

If those cultivators did arrive in time, they should be able to find out that there are still two people trapped here, right? Or did Lu Gu refuse to confess what he had done? Was he intentionally hiding their whereabouts, hoping that the two of them would die here? It wasn’t impossible.

After all, villains have many methods to deal with good people. Sometimes, good people, concerned about their reputations, dare not use cruel methods to extract confessions. They fear misunderstandings and damaging their reputations. Thus, the interrogation of villains by good people always takes a long time…

Thump–!!!

As Ye Xuan was pondering this, suddenly, there came a noise from one side. Ye Xuan turned his head, only to see Hu Qian’er had fainted on the ground. He furrowed his brows and quickly went to her side, lifting her up.

At that moment, Ye Xuan felt Hu Qian’er’s body was as cold as an ice sculpture. “This is bad… She hasn’t been replenished for a long time, and the loss of qi and temperature is too severe… If this continues, she will die.”

Thinking this, Ye Xuan did not hesitate to bite his own finger, intending to drop his blood on Hu Qian’er’s lips. But, just as his blood flowed from his fingertip, it turned into ice particles. Without his qi to maintain the temperature, even the blood would instantly freeze.

Helplessly, Ye Xuan had to place his finger in Hu Qian’er’s mouth, channel his qi, and force his blood from the fingertip into her mouth.

——–

“—!!!”

Although it was already known that Ye Xuan was a person who did not hold life in high regard, when he unhesitatingly fed his own blood into Hu Qian’er’s mouth, it still shocked everyone watching this scene. The male and female disciples of the Jade Fox Palace all covered their mouths in surprise.

Their eyes widened as they watched the scene unfold. In the eyes of those young girls, tears were already rolling down. “In this world, there really are good people like Ye Xuan–! No matter how much others hate or resent him, he remains unrepentant in his initial resolve. It’s so moving—!!!”

——–

“—” In a daze, Hu Qian’er felt as if she had regained some strength.

She slowly got up from the ice, sensing a fragrance in the air.

She suddenly woke up. “That’s the smell of meat–!!!”

Looking towards the direction from which the aroma was coming, she saw Ye Xuan hiding from her, sneakily eating something.

“What are you eating–!!!”

Hearing Hu Qian’er’s words, Ye Xuan’s figure stiffened. He turned his head and said, “Nothing.”

While speaking, he also hid what was in his hand behind his back.

“No, you must be eating something good. Wow, you’ve made me suffer so much, and you still won’t share any good food with me–!!!” Hu Qian’er, driven by hunger, did not hesitate to run behind Ye Xuan to see for herself.

She saw a piece of meat in Ye Xuan’s hand. The meat appeared to have been cooked with qi, and it was even emitting a warm, aromatic scent.

“Give it here–!!!” Saying this, Hu Qian’er snatched the piece of meat from Ye Xuan’s hand. Without hesitation, she bit into it and finished it in a few bites. After eating, she realized the meat tasted a bit off.

But, at this moment, being able to fill her stomach was all that mattered.

She asked Ye Xuan, “Is there any more?!!”

“Uh…” Ye Xuan looked troubled, then performed a spell and took out a few more pieces of meat.

These pieces were not big, but they were steaming and smelled delicious.

“That’s all I have, I really don’t have any more.” Ye Xuan responded.

“Hmph, you were hiding so much meat, planning to eat it all by yourself quietly, that’s really selfish–!!!” Saying this, Hu Qian’er took a few more pieces of meat from in front of Ye Xuan.

She said to Ye Xuan, “I won’t take all of it, I’ll just take these pieces, you can have the rest.”

“…”

Seeing Hu Qian’er like this, Ye Xuan said guiltily, “Alright… you’re right, I was being too selfish. I’ve actually had enough to eat, and I still have a lot of meat… Take all these pieces.”

“Hmph–!” Hearing this, Hu Qian’er snorted, “That’s more like it. It seems you’re not completely bad, there’s still hope for you.”

Saying that, she unceremoniously took all the remaining meat. Then, with a look of disdain, she sat further away from Ye Xuan.

——–

“Uh… where did Ye Xuan get this meat from?”

Watching the scene unfold, many fell silent.

Yet, those who didn’t understand asked those next to them, “Didn’t he just feed Hu Qian’er his blood earlier? If he had meat, why didn’t he take it out sooner?”

However, no one answered their questions. It seemed that, after asking, they suddenly realized something and immediately fell silent.
