At this moment, all the truth was revealed to the world.

Chu Feng finally understood why the army of the Great Chu Empire couldn't conquer the Imperial Palace, yet the City Protection Array suddenly activated. It blocked the formidable enemies outside the city.

All of this was because Chang'e was doing everything she could to help him.

And she sought no reward. She didn't even plan to let Chu Feng know.

After seeing Chu Feng, she was even more intent on seeking death.

It was evident that her love for Chu Feng was as deep as the ocean.

Being controlled by the Blood Slave Gu, wanting to help Chu Feng was equivalent to defying the Panlong Heavenly Emperor. This process must have been extremely difficult, and the pain she endured was unimaginable.

"It's all because I'm too foolish, too selfish, blinded by hatred. If I had paid a little more attention, I could have realized something was wrong."

Upon learning that the real Chang'e was controlled by the Blood Slave Gu, all of Chu Feng's hatred for Chang'e vanished in an instant.

Replaced by endless guilt and regret.

This is how love is.

One side always gives more.

There's a touching love story: a boy fell in love with a girl. After a long pursuit, they finally loved each other. The boy promised the girl that he would treat her well for a lifetime. If one day, she no longer loved him, he would choose to let go.

The girl also vowed that she would love only him in this lifetime.

The boy was very loyal, valued love and justice, and treated the girl like a treasure.

They spent three happy years together, leaving countless laughter and wonderful memories.

But good times didn't last long. Gradually, the girl changed, becoming increasingly irritable and unreasonable. More often than not, she would deliberately pick on the boy and argue with him.

Remembering his promise, the boy silently endured everything.

Finally, one day, the boy discovered the girl was dating another man, and they were very close. That man had his arm around the girl's waist, and she seemed particularly pleased.

Seeing the woman he loved deeply with another man on a date, the boy's heart shattered.

Seething with immense anger, he rushed over and beat up the man who had come between them. But unexpectedly, the girl protected the man and was determined to break up with the boy.

Ultimately, the boy kept his promise from those years ago and chose to let go, wishing her happiness.

After the breakup, the boy visited the girl several times, only to be coldly turned away each time. He drowned his sorrows in alcohol every day, living in perpetual pain.

Days went by in this manner. One day, the boy went to a bar to drink his sorrows away.

Then, a very beautiful girl approached him, initiated a conversation, and they drank together. The boy poured out his heart, speaking of his distress and hatred. He told this beautiful girl everything about his life.

When parting, the beautiful girl asked for his contact information.

From then on, the two often met up and gradually became a couple. The boy slowly emerged from the pain of heartbreak, finding happiness and confidence again.

Later, this beautiful girl married the boy.

The boy harbored deep resentment towards his ex-girlfriend, thinking of inviting her to their wedding. He wanted her to see that he was living very happily now, married to a wife ten times more beautiful and a hundred times kinder than her.

Who knew that when the boy went to find his ex-girlfriend, he only encountered the man who had taken her away.

After stating his purpose, he left triumphantly. The man who stole her promised to bring the girl to his wedding.

On the wedding day, the boy successfully married the beautiful girl, becoming husband and wife. He was waiting for his ex-girlfriend to show up.

Finally, the man who took her away came, carrying a gift box.

"And her? Why didn't she come?" the boy asked in disappointment.

"She has some matters and might never be able to attend your wedding. This is her gift to you," said the man who took her away indifferently, handing the gift box to the boy.

Suddenly, the boy's new bride started to sob softly.

"Dear, today is our wedding day—a day of joy. Why are you crying?" the boy couldn't help but wonder.

The bride bit her red lips without speaking, her eyes fixed on the gift box in the boy's hands.

The boy instinctively opened the gift box, revealing a delicate card and a ring he had bought for his ex-girlfriend.

At the bottom was a diary.

The boy picked up the card, which read, "Wishing so-and-so and so-and-so a happy wedding."

The boy felt a strange curiosity. It was one thing for the ex-girlfriend to know his name, but how did she know the bride's name? Moreover, the handwriting looked old, with even yellowed water stains on it.

They were marks formed after tears had long dried on the paper.

Beneath the card was a letter addressed to the boy, marked for him to open.

He immediately tore it open and read it.

"Dear, by the time you read this letter, I may no longer be alive. We had three years of happiness together, but fate has a way of playing tricks. I went to the hospital and found out I had liver cancer, and it was terminal. At most, I have three months to live. I know you're someone who values love and loyalty deeply. If I told you the truth, you wouldn't let go."

"So I came up with a plan and asked my cousin to play the role of my new boyfriend. After we broke up, I saw you living in pain, drowning in alcohol day after day. To help you move on and start a new life, I asked my best friend to marry you..."

Upon reading this, the boy understood everything, and he broke down in tears right there and then.

The diary chronicled the girl's daily battle with illness. In her most painful moments, she didn't think of herself but of when the boy and her best friend's wedding would be held.

...

After learning of Chang'e's ordeal, Chu Feng, like the boy in the story above, found his eyes filled with tears. It turned out the person most deserving of cherishing was the woman he had always hated.

As it turned out, she had not betrayed him.

Chu Feng recalled the verses he saw once on Changbai Immortal Mountain, and the deep imprints left in the places where Chang'e often stayed.

He could imagine her, every time the Blood Slave Gu erupted, enduring immense pain alone, silently retreating to that place, bearing it all. To resist the inhuman pain, countless claw marks were left on the hard rocks.

Bang!

Chu Feng knelt with a heavy thud in front of the unconscious Chang'e; his tears could not be stopped from falling, and his heart ached to the extreme.

"I will definitely cure you! I will help eliminate the Blood Slave Gu inside you," Chu Feng said painfully.

He held Chang'e's frail body tightly in his arms.

"Protect me, I need to do my utmost to eliminate the Blood Slave Gu in Chang'e's body!" Chu Feng shouted to the Beixie National Master and others.

With the Nine Yang Strange Fire within him, eliminating the Blood Slave Gu shouldn't be difficult.

Suddenly, golden blood flowed out from Chang'e's seven orifices; her body trembled violently, and a look of extreme pain was etched on her face.
