Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness

Chapter 221: The Tragedy Begins

“This Taihua Mountain is truly a wonderful place–!” 

Time flies, and several years have already passed. 

At this moment, Ye Xuan looks no different from a few years ago. However, if seen through the eyes of a cultivator, he has already consumed quite a bit of his lifespan. 

Currently, he still appears young in appearance, but his temperament has matured significantly. 

“In just a few short years, I have already cultivated to the Tribulation Stage–!”

(TL: Tribulation Stage is the realm before you come an immortal.)

————

“Hiss–!!!” Ye Xuan’s words immediately shocked everyone. 

“Good heavens, he cultivated to the Tribulation Stage in just a few short years?” 

“Is this something a human can achieve?!!” 

“Too terrifying–!!!” 

For a moment, everyone looked at the sky, utterly astonished. 

Although they had heard that those with Immortal Spiritual Roots had foundations from their past lives, making it easy to re-cultivate to immortality, this did not mean that a banished immortal could so quickly return to being an immortal. 

If it were that easy for Ye Xuan to become immortal, then why was he banished in the first place?!! This was absolutely impossible–!!! 

However, no matter how shocked people were, at this moment, looking at the sky, they had to accept reality. Ye Xuan had indeed reached the Tribulation Realm… 

This cultivation talent was too terrifying. It must be known that Ye Xuan not only needed to cultivate on his own, but he also had to explore and understand the cultivation methods by himself. 

The cultivation world had existed for countless years, and most people’s cultivation methods were passed down from generation to generation. 

Few had the extraordinary talent to create their own methods. 

If not for the current wide-open doors of the cultivation sects, allowing everyone to enter the era of cultivation, it would be even more impossible for ordinary people to cultivate. 

The difficulties involved can be imagined–!!! 

Even if Ye Xuan had the assistance of the Dragon Princess, ultimately, he had to rely on himself more. 

————

“Master, you are amazing–!!!” At this moment, Xiao Cai was looking at Ye Xuan, who had reached the Tribulation Stage, with admiration. 

Now, she no longer looked like the little primitive girl from before. She was wearing a Taoist robe that only immortals could wear. 

“Disciple does not know when I will be able to cultivate to Master’s level.” She said to Ye Xuan. 

“Hehe.” Ye Xuan smiled slightly and touched Xiao Cai, saying to her, “As long as you work hard, you will become immortal one day. By then, the human race will need your support.” 

“Yes.” Xiao Cai nodded. 

Ye Xuan’s gaze turned to the Dragon Princess, and he said to her, “If one does not become immortal, they cannot achieve longevity. I am going.” 

“Husband, be careful.” The Dragon Princess said to Ye Xuan:, “I will always wait for your return.” 

Ye Xuan nodded and then flew up towards the sky. 

The Dragon Princess watched Ye Xuan’s departing figure, and a tear of worry fell from her eye. She then suddenly flew up towards the sky to follow him.

————

“What–!!!” 

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked. 

“Is she crazy?!!” 

“Is she going to shield Ye Xuan from the tribulation?!!” 

“No, absolutely not–!!!” 

Everyone in the cultivation world knew that for a mortal to cultivate to immortality, they must pass the tribulation test. 

This test was meant for the cultivator, and no one else could help. This was common knowledge among cultivators. However, the Dragon Princess followed Ye Xuan up. 

Why was she doing this?!!

“I understand. In that era, no mortal had ever cultivated to immortality on their own. No one knew the rule that no one could help with the tribulation.” 

“The Dragon Princess probably didn’t know this rule and couldn’t help but want to assist Ye Xuan through the tribulation–!!!” 

“No, it cannot be–!!!” 

At this moment, many people couldn’t help but exclaim. After all, they had watched Ye Xuan and the Dragon Princess come together. 

Even though Ye Xuan was a great demon, and the Dragon Princess was a righteous person, at this moment, most people had already forgotten their identities. 

Seeing the Dragon Princess about to do something foolish, many people couldn’t help but shout at the scene. 

However, this event had already happened in the past, and apart from Ye Xuan’s ability to change the script, who else could alter it?

————

Boom–!!! 

With the sound of thunder, Ye Xuan and the Dragon Princess both fell from the sky. 

At this moment, Ye Xuan was covered in blood, looking at the Dragon Princess lying on the ground. 

He was filled with despair, “No–!!! My wife, why did you shield me from the tribulation–!!! Why? I could still have a chance at life if I died, but if you die, how can I live–!!!” 

He crawled to the Dragon Princess’s side and hurriedly supported her up. 

“Cough cough… Husband… I’m sorry… I didn’t expect that by shielding you from the tribulation, it would make the thunder tribulation even stronger.” 

The Dragon Princess slowly regained consciousness and said to Ye Xuan, “However, fortunately, you still safely passed the thunder tribulation.” 

“Why?!” Ye Xuan said to the Dragon Princess, “I passed the tribulation, but what about you?” 

“Cough…” The Dragon Princess shed tears of blood, “I didn’t want… I didn’t want to be forgotten by you, not even for a moment. Husband, I’m sorry, I was too selfish.” 

“Sorry for what?!” Ye Xuan said, “How could you be so foolish? You clearly knew that I would not die… If you die, living for me would be an eternal torment–!!!” 

He spoke while holding the Dragon Princess tightly. 

“I’m sorry… Husband…” The Dragon Princess’s body was slowly dissipating. 

At this moment, a voice suddenly echoed in Ye Xuan’s mind. 

“A lifetime of loneliness is destined for you. The ones you love will leave you, and those you trust will betray you.” The punishment voice of the Heavenly Emperor kept echoing in his mind. 

“No–!!!” Looking at the Dragon Princess, Ye Xuan’s eyes were filled with tears, “Shuang’er, I won’t let you die, I won’t let you die–!!! You are a dragon, not subject to the Heavenly Emperor’s punishment.”

“How dare the Heavenly Emperor use my punishment on you? I will go to Buzhou Mountain to ask for that lord’s help–!!!” 

Saying this, he held the Dragon Princess’s body and flew towards Buzhou Mountain.

————

“This… Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor’s punishment is really so powerful? Even the Dragon Princess, who is of the dragon clan, is affected by Ye Xuan’s fate?!” 

“Isn’t this punishment too harsh for Ye Xuan at that time?!” 

For a moment, seeing Ye Xuan’s sad appearance in the scene, many people showed sympathy. Even those who had deep hatred for Ye Xuan did not say anything to spoil the moment. 

However, some with ulterior motives were gloating over the misfortune.
