Jian Xiuyun felt dazed for a while, “What?”
When Kan Wenxiao heard this, his arms holding him tightened, as if he wanted to become one with him, and his voice was full of irrepressible affection and light intoxication.
He said, “Shizun, whether you are sincere or fake, I will accept you.”
Without waiting for Jian Xiuyun to answer, he continued, “I will not lock you up anymore, Shizun. I want to marry you. San shu liu li, san mei liu pin. If you want to be the Sect Leader, I will marry you in Xuyu Peak. I will not touch Yu Shaozhi again, as long as you treat me well from now on, okay?”
Jian Xiuyun stretched out his hand to push him away and said, “What has gotten into you suddenly?”
But Kan Wenxiao took his hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it lightly. He looked at him with deep eyes, his voice slightly hoarse, “You also have me in your heart, don’t you?”
Jian Xiuyun felt his heart skip a beat, and he averted his eyes, retorting, “No.”
He seemed to hear a helpless chuckle, and then, his chin was gently lifted. He felt Kan Wenxiao’s breath approaching gradually.
“Shizun, why are you always so stubborn?”
The next second, his lips were pressed forcefully.
The faint taste of wine entwined with their breaths, flowing down his mouth and into his heart, giving rise to an intoxicating feeling.
Jian Xiuyun felt dizzy. He stretched out his hand to push him away, but his body felt weak and limp.
When Jian Xiuyun was let go, his usually cold eyes seemed to be filled with mist and were glazed over. The ends of his eyes were slightly red from being bullied, and he glanced at him with anger, showing a different kind of charm.
Kan Wenxiao suppressed the throbbing in his heart and buried his head in the side of his neck, his hot breath spraying on his skin like a long sigh.
“Shizun.” Kan Wenxiao asked as if to convince himself, “You also have me in your heart, right?”
When Jian Xiuyun heard this, his eyelids drooped slightly and his thin lips pressed into a tight line. It seemed that he already had the answer, but could not admit it.
There were so many things between them.
The unforgettable hatred in the previous life, all the blood and slaughter in this life.
After all, he couldn’t do it without grudges.
“Shizun.” Kan Wenxiao lifted his long hair that was scattered on the pillow and wrapped it around his fingertips, “Can’t you let go of Lin Liaoting? Actually…”
“It’s not just him.” Jian Xiuyun calmed down and raised his head to interrupt him.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Kan Wenxiao paused for a moment, hugged him tightly, nodded and said, “Is it about Xuyu Peak? Shizun, I will give you Xuyu Peak, from now on…”

He asked, “Do you believe in rebirth?”
–
The heavy snow fell continuously, and soon a thick layer formed on the ground. When stepped on, it would crunch under their feet.
Kan Wenxiao strode through the courtyard, opened the door and walked out.
Although he was already in the distraction stage, he still felt chills seeping into his body along his skin.
Jian Xiuyun’s words were like a curse. No matter how much he wanted to forget them, they still came back to him over and over again.
“You cut my tendons, shattered my golden core, and inserted the dagger into my body.”
“You killed me.”
“We are natural enemies.”
…
“Natural enemies.”
Kan Wenxiao chewed on these two words and felt weak under his feet. He stopped, looked at the vast sky in front of him, and suddenly burst into laughter.
He laughed so hard that there was a trace of water in the corner of his eyes.
“Natural enemies.” He repeated over and over again with a smile, “I’m supposed to kill him, natural enemies…”
The starfield was vast and lonely, the sky and earth seemed to be merged into one due to the deep night, and he was the only one standing in the middle.
Kan Wenxiao closed his eyes tiredly and let himself fall backwards.
The soft snow gently engulfed him, wrapping the chill with tenderness.
The world was slow and the most ruthless.
Jian Xiuyun said he was the winner.
But what did he win?
–
During the Lantern Festival, a banquet was held in the palace and all officials gathered together.
The palace attendants got busy as early as a month prior because of the banquet.
Xiao Xi’er was a child after all. Seeing such a lively scene, she became more playful.
She supervised him to rest and eat more carefully every day, and the most frequently uttered words were, “Brother Immortal, you must get well before the Lantern Festival, so we can go out and play together.”
Jian Xiuyun deliberately asked her what she would do if he couldn’t get better.
When Xiao Xi’er heard this, her little face wrinkled up, she held her chin in thoughtfulness and pondered for a long time, then she took his hand and said, “Then I will stay here with you.”
Jian Xiuyun smiled happily when he heard this, gently stroking her head as he comforted her, “Don’t worry, I will get better as soon as possible.”
As he said, on the eve of Lantern Festival, Jian Xiuyun’s body really did recover completely.
Xiao Xi’er was about to take him out immediately, but in the end she was stopped by a palace attendant who said, “Just in case, you should go tomorrow.”
Xiao Xi’er had no choice but to suppress her desire to go out immediately and agreed.
Early the next morning, before Jian Xiuyun got up, Xiao Xi’er ran in and shook him awake with excitement glowing on her face, and handed him a set of red robes.
Jian Xiuyun took it with a confused look on his face and asked, “What is this?”
Xiao Xi’er twirled in a circle and said to him, “The sister made these. The two clothes are exactly the same, but yours is bigger.”
Only then did Jian Xiuyun realize that Xiao Xi’er was wearing a red winter coat made of silk, with a small cape and a plush scarf around her neck. It was cute and festive.
Sure enough, it was exactly the same as the clothes in his hand.
Jian Xiuyun looked at the clothes in his hands, a trace of hesitation flashing on his face.
He hadn’t worn such bright colors in years.
Xiao Xi’er saw his reluctance and immediately rushed over and tugged on his sleeve to plead.
After persuading for a long time, Jian Xiuyun finally agreed.
After he finished washing up, changing his clothes and stood in front of the mirror, he almost couldn’t recognize that the person was him.
The red-clothed robes seemed to have melted away the chill on his body.
He led Xiao Xi’er and walked out. One big and one small, they looked very much like father and daughter.
Since Jian Xiuyun was ill, Xiao Xi’er was bored for a long time.
As soon as she went out, she rushed out like a runaway horse.
Jian Xiuyun followed her helplessly, telling her from time to time, “Don’t run, slow down.”
He felt very much like a concerned old mother.
He didn’t know how long he walked, but soon the scenery in front of them changed. Red silk lanterns were hung everywhere, and bursts of beautiful music could be heard in the distance. It was a festive scene, and rows of soldiers were guarding the door.
Jian Xiuyun immediately realized where this place was and hurriedly called Xiao Xi’er to stop.
“Let’s go somewhere else.”
Xiao Xi’er saw the scene and guessed it. She asked, “Is that brother holding a banquet?”
Jian Xiuyun nodded.
He turned around to leave, but his sleeve was grabbed by Xiao Xi’er.
Jian Xiuyun turned around and saw Xiao Xi’er looking inside with curiosity, and heard her say, “Brother Immortal, can we sneak in? The snacks inside must be delicious.”
Jian Xiuyun laughed and said, “If you want to have some snacks, go back and have someone make them for you.”
Xiao Xi’er shook her head reluctantly, “It’s different.”
As she said that, she tugged on Jian Xiuyun’s sleeve and begged.
She had now figured out Jian Xiuyun’s temperament, and knew that he could not stay resolute for long. As expected, Jian Xiuyun compromised after a while.
“Alright.” Jian Xiuyun responded, “But don’t run around after entering.”
“I won’t!” Xiao Xi’er immediately vowed.
Jian Xiuyun walked around, then hugged her and climbed in through the back door.
Naturally, they couldn’t go to the place where the banquet was held. The officials and palace attendants would certainly discover them immediately, so they only took a few distant glances.
Jian Xiuyun glanced at the main seat inadvertently and saw that the seat was empty and Kan Wenxiao was not there.
He was a little surprised, but naturally he wouldn’t show it. After looking at it for a while, he took Xiao Xi’er to the catering department to get something to eat.
The two came out of the catering department, each carrying a plate of snacks, and planned to find a secluded spot to eat.
After walking for a while, Jian Xiuyun realized that he had reached Anxiang Pavilion, where he had picked plum blossoms for Xiao Xi’er.
Jian Xiuyun thought of the plum blossom garden and walked in with Xiao Xi’er.
He walked through the winding corridor to the backyard.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he found that there was already someone there.
A thin man wearing a black robe stood not far away with his hands behind his back. It was unknown whether he was admiring the plum blossoms or the snow.
Hearing the noise, he turned around and saw the two people wearing similar clothing.
Something seemed to flash in his eyes, but he soon calmed down.
But his expression seemed a little helpless.
Jian Xiuyun didn’t expect that he would run into Kan Wenxiao here. No one spoke, they just looked at each other wordlessly, as if they didn’t know what to say at the moment.
In the end, Kan Wenxiao was defeated.
He moved his eyes away and walked towards Jian Xiuyun.
Jian Xiuyun thought he had something to say, but when Kan Wenxiao walked up to him, he only paused briefly before striding out.
Jian Xiuyun was startled by him treating him like a stranger, and unconsciously tightened his hold on Xiao Xi’er’s hand.
But he didn’t say anything, just let him pass by and gradually go away.
This should be the best ending between them.
Knots in the heart always needed to be untied to make progress.
🥺
Thank you for the chapter !
I’m really curious on how the story gonna develop and how there relationship gonna progress
Thanks for the chapter at least Knows something about the other life of JX now they have to see how to manage it
… Their relationship are toxic af but I can’t stop reading argh!
Thank you for the update.
I can understand that Jian Xiuyun might find Kan Wenxiao attractive now that his face has healed, but there’s no reason for him to want a relationship with Wenxiao. In my opinion, it’s certainly not a relationship that can be fixed with only two chapters to go…
The way they ended up together in the last chapter is a bit yeah, not exactly satisfactory, but it also seems to be the only and best course of action for them
I also think this here is the best ending for them. Or another rebirth, where they both don’t remember the past lives and start fresh.
Thank you for the update!
“Jian Xiuyun said he was the winner.
But what did he win?”
