For the sake of her so-called mission, she contentedly enjoyed Qu Chiyang's doting affection, but secretly she was using him to get rid of those hypocritical people in the Zhuang family.
From the moment they started fighting in the lake, Xiang Wan knew that the man was Qu Chiyang, but she pretended not to know, just to lay the groundwork for what would happen later.
From the moment she stepped into that room halfway up the mountain, she knew it belonged solely to Qu Chiyang, and she also knew where he went when he wasn't practicing. She just hadn't expected him to leave so quickly that night, and to harbor such hatred towards her. Since he hated her, there must be a reason. Xiang Wan deliberately revealed her methods for dealing with enemies, just to test Qu Chiyang's thoughts.
When Xiang Wan was summoned by Qu Chiyang to serve him in bed, she already guessed that Qu Chiyang was a reincarnation and that his feelings for the original owner were definitely not just hatred. Taking advantage of this feeling, she deliberately pretended to be moved by Qu Chiyang, and deliberately showed that she had fallen in love with him. She also deliberately arranged to meet Zhuang Aoxue, who was coming to see her, in a secluded place, simply because it was a place that Qu Chiyang often passed by alone.
Zhuang Aoxue became Qu Chiyang's tool to deal with the Zhuang family. Xiang Wan pretended to be unaware and allowed them to contact each other in private. She also allowed Qu Chiyang to use the marriage alliance to lure a group of people from the Zhuang family.
Qu Chiyang wanted to deal with the Zhuang family, so Xiang Wan made it happen ahead of time by deliberately vomiting blood at the wedding, just to prove to Qu Chiyang how much she loved him.
By exposing Zhuang Batian's hypocrisy, Xiang Wan had cultivated her own profound inner strength; she had already planned this when she entered the bedchamber. Xiang Wan wasn't surprised at all that Qu Chiyang would deal with Zhuang Batian, but she hadn't expected Zhuang Aoxue to be eliminated prematurely, nor had she anticipated that Shen Meier would want to perish together with Qu Chiyang.
She knew the palm lightning wouldn't kill Qu Chiyang, so she deliberately ran to block it, just to show Qu Chiyang that she was willing to risk her life for him!
The members of the Zhuang family were already dead, and Qu Chiyang would certainly not let the rest go either. She could say that her long-cherished task was complete, but seeing Qu Chiyang constantly urging her to repay her debts, Xiang Wan felt heartbroken and exhausted. She had schemed all of this, but in the end, she felt no joy in her success.
Perhaps, feelings not earned through genuine devotion, even if gained, become a burden on the heart. Because the feelings weren't pure, the better Qu Chiyang treated her, the more guilty she felt. Perhaps, this kind of feeling would ultimately be lost.
At the moment of the explosion, the system promptly separated Xiang Wan's soul. She floated in the air, watching Qu Chi, unable to speak, sobbing uncontrollably, filled with regret as he looked at her corpse.
"Zhuang Xiangwan, I regret it, I really regret it. I shouldn't have used your feelings to force the Zhuang family to show their true colors. I regretted it from the moment you vomited blood. The person I should have married was you. How ridiculous that I kept telling myself that you weren't worth it, not worth it at all!"
I admit that at first I just wanted to take revenge on you, but you said you wanted to let your enemy live, to make him suffer a fate worse than death... In our past life, weren't you the one who cared most about the dealers? Why is it different this time?
Why did you take the lightning for me? Do you hate me? If you die and I'm left to live, spending every day in longing and regret, a life worse than death, are you satisfied?
You can't die, I will never let you die. You must live, only if you live can we start over!
Qu Chiyang frantically channeled his inner energy into Xiang Wan, completely forgetting that Xiang Wan cultivated cold energy, which was naturally incompatible with his inner energy.
A mouthful of blood spurted from her mouth, and Xiang Wan could hardly bear to look. What was Qu Chiyang thinking? If he didn't stop, she might die from his treatment before she even returned to her body.
"Master, if this continues, I'm afraid Young Master Zhuang will truly be beyond saving."
Fortunately, someone knowledgeable came over to remind her, and Xiang Wan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Qu Chiyang, who had been stubbornly going his own way, looked up with delight upon hearing the newcomer's words and stopped what he was doing.
"She's not dead? Save her! If you can't, you'll be executed!"
Finally regaining some composure, the person, with a lump in their throat, began to take Xiang Wan's pulse without saying a word.
Although the external injuries were severe, fortunately, she had internal energy protecting her body beforehand. With proper rest for a year or two, she would be fine. Xiang Wan herself possessed medical skills, so how could she not know her own physical condition? She just didn't want to endure the pain all over her body, nor did she want to feel particularly despicable because of Qu Chiyang's sorrowful expression.
"Master, Young Master Zhuang is just unconscious. We'll use medicine to clean his wounds later, being careful not to let them get infected. Once the wounds heal, he'll be fine."
"Then what are you standing there for? Hurry up and get on it!"
"yes!"
As Qu Chiyang watched Xiang Wan being carried away by several people, he ordered everyone to kill the rest of the Zhuang family. He also issued a notice to the martial arts world, making the Zhuang family's affairs known to the public. Among the sects that were on good terms with the Zhuang family, those who had participated in the siege of the Chiyang Sect in his previous life were also secretly executed and told to the outside world that they were the Zhuang family's lackeys.
Because of the Red Sun Sect's effective propaganda and the strong support of smaller sects, few people questioned its actions this time. Following this incident, the Red Sun Sect rose to become the most powerful sect in the martial arts world, and was praised by everyone.
However, Xiang Wan lived a life of misery within the Chiyang Sect.
"Zhuang Xiangwan, take off your clothes. You haven't applied the medicine yet. Do you want to have a scar for the rest of your life?"
"Leave it, I'll do it myself."
Are you sure you can reach it?
"Then how about we find someone else..."
Who else do you want to send?
Pressed to the bed, unable to move, Xiang Wan silently shed tears. Who would have thought Qu Chiyang would act this way? While she was unconscious, he personally washed and applied medicine to her, seeing her completely naked. After she woke up, Qu Chiyang became even more brazen, demanding she pose in various positions under the guise of applying medicine, his gaze fixed on her, practically devouring her. When she wanted to take a bath, Qu Chiyang turned it into a medicinal pool, dragging her in to massage her scars and promote medicine absorption.
She had never known that Qu Chiyang had this hobby. Fortunately, their internal energies clashed, otherwise Xiang Wan would have seriously suspected that Qu Chiyang would find an excuse to practice dual cultivation, and the thought alone sent chills down her spine.
Fortunately, her body was also male, so being taken advantage of like this seemed like the best outcome compared to dual cultivation.
Xiang Wan wasn't unaware of Qu Chiyang's desire for her, but he always managed to suppress it at crucial moments. Xiang Wan thought about it carefully and concluded it might be related to his martial arts technique. His skills required preserving a man's primordial yang energy; once leaked, his power would be destroyed.
Therefore, Xiang Wan wasn't without the power to retaliate when she was being taken advantage of. She would occasionally tease Qu Chiyang, and only when she watched him, burning with desire, rush into the forbidden lake did Xiang Wan finally relieve the frustration of being constantly groped.
This is probably how their life will be. Although the system was a bit of a rip-off, turning her into a man and a male concubine, the fact that she doesn't have to sleep with him isn't too bad. They can stay together like this for the rest of their lives. It's not so bad, is it?
