Chu Xuan explained sincerely, "What happened in the past is the past, and now is now. I've already let down too many women who have truly loved me, so I don't want to add anymore to the harem."
"Perhaps back in the days, I really said something like 'I like you,' but at that time it was mostly about coveting your beauty and craving your body, not genuine love. Otherwise, I wouldn't be coming to find you now."
It should be known that Chu Xuan first learned about the clues related to the Demon Saint during the Hundred Flowers Banquet, but didn't urgently pursue them.
Even when the proud little phoenix later sent a feather, he prioritized other matters at hand and only came to find her now.
Before Yun Shuang could speak, Chu Xuan continued:
"Moreover, during these long decades, you clearly knew I was likely the Heavenly Evil, yet you never thought to come find me, even when I married other women. What's the reason for this?"
