Experiences
She first met Ye Chen in the back mountain of Hengyue Sect. Ye Chen mistook her for Chu Ling’er and avoided her. Hearing about the series of bizarre incidents Ye Chen caused in the Outer Sect, Chu Xuan’er became interested in him and invited him to take a test to become a disciple. (Chapter 77: Why are you running?) During the Outer Sect competition, Ye Chen’s persistence moved Chu Xuan’er. After Ye Chen successfully entered the Inner Sect and became Chu Xuan’er’s disciple, she gradually developed feelings for him as he showed his talent. Ye Chen often recalled that night with Chu Ling’er and often fantasized about his master, Chu Xuan’er. On the other hand, Chu Xuan’er also discovered that there was a secret between Ye Chen and Chu Ling’er (Chapter 146: Chu Xuan’er, Chu Ling’er).
Before the Three Sects Competition, she sent Ye Chen away to Zhao State to perform a mission, which resulted in Ye Chen being attacked by Dan Gui and going missing. She regretted this and was worried all day long. (Chapter 185: Ancient Arrow) Until Ye Chen unexpectedly returned before the Three Sects Competition and agreed with Chu Ling’er that if Ye Chen won first place, he would take off his clothes (Chapter 201: One Heaven One Earth). Before the final battle against Ji Ning Shuang in the Three Sects Competition, Ye Chen kissed Chu Xuan’er in front of everyone. (Chapter 239: Outrageous Ye Chen)
On the way back after the Three Sects Competition, they were ambushed by the Zhengyang Sect. During the crisis, she failed to merge with Chu Ling’er and learned that Chu Ling’er’s innocence was taken by Ye Chen. After returning to Hengyue Sect, she hoped to bring Ye Chen and her sister together in marriage, but Chu Xuan’er was also jealous of her sister in her heart. (Chapter 266: Excited Liu Yi) Chu Ling’er believed that Ye Chen actually liked her sister, and Ye Chen said that he wanted Chu Ling’er and Chu Xuan’er to marry him together (Chapter 274: About Marriage). After that, Chu Xuan’er often flirted with Ye Chen. (Chapter 276: Rich or Poor)
In order to increase his lifespan, Ye Chen went to Dancheng and eventually obtained the title of Dan Sheng. During this time, he bought Seven-Colored Immortal Rainbow Clothes, Seven-Colored Phoenix Rainbow Clothes, and Phoenix Jade Hairpins for Chu Xuan’er and Chu Ling’er as wedding dresses. Chu Xuan’er later learned that Ye Chen gave up being the next city lord of Dancheng for his own sect, which made her inner feelings bloom. (Chapter 332: My Disciple?) After receiving Ye Chen’s gift, she unconsciously confirmed a further relationship. Occasionally, Xi Yan’s innocent words also added to this feeling (Chapter 351: About Sleeping).
After Yin Zhicheng became the acting head teacher of Hengyue Sect, she went to the Ninth Branch Hall with Ye Chen to protect him. Yin Zhiping killed Xi Yan in order to plot against Ye Chen, causing him to become demonized. He joined forces with various forces to kill Ye Chen. Before Ye Chen died, he saw Chu Xuan’er wearing the Phoenix Jade Hairpin he had given her. Chu Xuan’er responded with tears in her eyes, “You can’t die, I haven’t become your bride yet!” (Chapter 369: Demon Extermination)
After Ye Chen’s death, Hao Tian Xuan Zhen came to Hengyue Sect to take Ye Chen’s body back to the Hao Tian family. Chu Xuan’er and Chu Ling’er publicly admitted that they were Ye Chen’s wives so they could keep it. (Chapter 376: We are his wives) But later, they were ambushed by Zhengyang Sect outer sect disciples who used a diversion to steal Ye Chen’s body. Chu Xuan’er lost her mind and searched all the way, but was eventually robbed by the Black Mountain Old Man. (Chapter 380: Return My Disciple) Chu Xuan’er later went to North Chu to find Ye Chen. When Ye Chen resurrected and roamed North Chu as Qin Yu, he passed Chu Xuan’er several times (Chapter 471: Consecutive Slashes of Power). Since then, Chu Xuan’er has been missing. Later, she was found in the Panlong Sea area through the Human Emperor’s information (Chapter 748: Late Intelligence).
On the road to finding Ye Chen, Chu Xuan’er naively thought that Ye Chen would be reincarnated as a mortal (Chapter 938: Quasi-Heavenly Gate) and came to the mortal realm of Heavenly Fragrance Country. In Forget Worry City, she taught Liu Ruyan the “Nine Nether Immortal Song Awakening Chapter”, telling her to go to Yunruo Valley to find her if she saw Ye Chen. Later, she was controlled by the Immortal Execution Sword, and her memory was erased during the control.
After Ye Chen gave up the Six Paths Immortal Wheel Eye, Chu Xuan’er returned after three years of separation, and had unified South Chu Nantian Gate. She learned that Ye Chen was looking for her and was sealed by the Taixu Ancient Dragon for three years, then another three years. She met him again after Ye Chen killed his way into the Blood Spirit Family for Liu Ruyan. (Chapter 942: You Can’t Decipher)
Chu Xuan’er and Ye Chen returned to Nanzhao Kingdom, which had changed dynasties, and after reminiscing about Liu Ruyan, they took Ruoxi away. When they returned to Yunruo Valley, Ruoxi was assassinated by Hongchen. Ye Chen was seriously injured and unconscious in order to protect Ruoxi. Then Chu Xuan’er, controlled by the Immortal Execution Sword, took over to save Ruoxi and forced Hongchen back. Finally, the three returned to South Chu hand in hand. (Chapter 952: Talented People)
On Jade Maiden Peak, Ye Chen, Chu Xuan’er, Chu Ling’er, and Ruoxi were like a family of four. Soon, many women who had feelings for Ye Chen came to freeload, like a big family. At the dinner table, Ye Chen asked Ruoxi to call Chu Xuan’er “Auntie”. During the Three Sects Competition, she helped Ye Chen agree to Xi Yan marrying him. Before Ye Chen’s duel with the Holy Son of the Divine Dynasty, Chu Xuan’er was affected by the Immortal Execution Sword’s killing intent towards Ye Chen, and finally remembered everything from the past three years and another three years.
