The chapter begins with a contrast between a cold exterior and a passionate interior. Chen Anlin sensed that something was off with Wu Xixue, and his worry deepened. Now that Wu Xixue had regained her memories, she must know what he had done. Would she be angry?
She shouldn't be, right? After all, she was the one who forced my hand. When you think about it, I'm still the victim here.
Chen Anlin muttered to himself. With this thought, he felt a bit relieved. Although the Empress was unreasonable most of the time, she couldn't possibly blame him for this, could she? Besides, he had saved Wu Xixue; even if he didn't have any credit, he had at least put in some effort. Surely that counted for something?
Lost in thought, he suddenly noticed Wu Xixue approaching with a cold expression on her face. As she entered the room, an intense chill filled the air.
"Xiao Anzi." Wu Xixue's stunning figure stood at the doorway, her tone icy.
The scene was so beautiful that Chen Anlin dared not look too long; he feared that if he did, she might slap him. It was clear now that Wu Xixue had indeed regained her memories. He only had one option left: to play the victim!
"Your Majesty, you've regained your memories?"
"What do you think?" The aura of a Golden Core radiated from Wu Xixue; clearly, what she had obtained was no ordinary Golden Core.
This left Chen Anlin both surprised and delighted. "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Not only have you advanced to Golden Core, but you've also regained your memories."
"Are you really happy about this?" Wu Xixue's face remained cold. "What did you do to me?"
Ah, as expected, the Empress wanted to settle the score now that she remembered everything.
Chen Anlin feigned helplessness and knelt down with a thud. "Your Majesty, since you've regained your memories, you must know I had no choice. With your strength constantly targeting me, I simply couldn't withstand it."
Wu Xixue's expression darkened. "Useless!"
"First of all, my strength is no match for yours. Secondly, Your Majesty, you're so beautiful; I'm just a man after all," Chen Anlin sighed and shook his head in resignation. He decided to close his eyes and spoke solemnly: "Your Majesty, what's done is done; it's all my fault. If you're truly unhappy, then just kill me!"
With that said, he closed his eyes again, adopting a posture of self-sacrifice.
Wu Xixue clenched her fists. "Useless! Why would I kill you now?"
"Your Majesty, you're not going to kill me?" Chen Anlin knew deep down that Wu Xixue wouldn't have the heart to do so, and his spirits lifted immediately.
Wu Xixue said, "What does killing you accomplish? It won't change anything. Also, since we've come this far, there's no need to call me Your Majesty anymore. Just call me Senior Sister from now on."
"Yes, Senior Sister."
"Chen Anlin, I hope you can forget the past." Wu Xixue suddenly looked at Chen Anlin with a complex expression.
At that moment, a gentle breeze blew by, lifting the hem of Wu Xixue's dress, occasionally revealing her delicate foot to the air.
The fabric clung to her exquisite figure in the breeze, and Chen Anlin couldn't help but steal a few glances before quickly lowering his head.
The sight became increasingly thrilling.
He reflected on how he once thought about rejecting Wu Xixue several times. If only he had known back then, he should have taken more chances.
Now, he wondered if he would ever have another opportunity.
"Rest assured, Senior Sister. I will definitely forget," Chen Anlin said.
"But why were you just staring at me?" Wu Xixue instinctively tightened her legs together, her mind flashing back to the moments they had shared.
The memories were so intense that they stirred something within her.
I must hold back; I am an emperor. How can I act this way?
Besides, I am a woman after all.
From now on, we are parting ways, understand? Wu Xixue declared.
"I understand, Senior Sister," Chen Anlin replied.
This day was something Chen Anlin had anticipated for a long time, but he hadn't expected it to come so soon.
Seeing Chen Anlin's expression, Wu Xixue furrowed her brow, feeling a pang of sorrow in her heart.
She couldn't show it outwardly; despite not blaming Chen Anlin, she also recognized him in her heart.
She needed to pretend to be angry and adopt a stance of breaking up with him because she hoped he would feel ashamed and strive to improve himself. He shouldn't take her protection for granted and become complacent.
In essence, when she spoke of parting ways, it was meant to motivate him. Once Chen Anlin's strength improved, she would still be open to accepting him.
Little did Chen Anlin know what the Empress was truly thinking. He hated his own weakness and found himself shedding tears without realizing it.
As he reminisced about the moments shared with the Empress, he wondered if she would be seen less often in the future.
Wu Xixue suddenly turned her head, unable to bear the sight of Chen Anlin in tears. She felt an impulse to cry herself.
I can't help it; after all, you are the Emperor.
Hmph, little Anzi, you really are useless. Why do you cry so easily? Wu Xixue suppressed her own sorrow and said.
Senior Sister, I just think that little Anzi will definitely not see you again in the future.
What nonsense are you talking about? I will still be in the sect.
Can I visit Senior Sister often?
It depends on the situation, Wu Xixue replied indifferently.
Hearing that he could still see her, Chen Anlin finally smiled and said shyly, "As long as Senior Sister isn’t angry."
Don’t smile too happily; I will have to supervise you. You need to reach the Foundation Establishment stage within six months. Is that okay?
Of course! I just need a Foundation Establishment Pill now, Chen Anlin replied.
I’ll give you one, but it’s better to take it once your cultivation is stable. Wu Xixue said.
Understood, Senior Sister. Chen Anlin sighed in relief; he knew his own situation well and realized he only needed one Foundation Establishment Pill to advance.
Alright, then focus on your training! If you need any help, feel free to tell me. Wu Xixue turned her head again, her eyes becoming cold once more.
Speaking of needing help, Chen Anlin looked at Wu Xixue's graceful figure and thought about saying something bold: Could we do it one more time?
But he was afraid of getting hit!
What’s wrong? Don’t you need my help? Wu Xixue seemed to ask with a hint of expectation.
Chen Anlin instinctively nodded but suddenly remembered something and quickly shook his head.
