The assistant obediently tossed the ring into the trash can.
Liu Qiaoqiao's figure walked towards the sunlight, her star-studded brilliance awaiting her.
The scenes of reincarnation gradually concluded.
The two couple rings dissolved into nothingness.
Liu Qiaoqiao's breathing became painful, almost catching.
Without Xiao Ye, she was utterly insignificant.
On Blue Star, she was an undefeated war god.
She had never shed a single tear.
Yet, as she watched Xiao Ye's reincarnated memories, Liu Qiaoqiao felt as though she had shed a lifetime's worth of tears.
The crowds of Blue Star sighed in disbelief. "To think that the final farewell was also a sorrow borne solely by Xiao Ye."
"When the war god Liu learned the truth, she must have been filled with regret."
"It's not very logical for an 'evil' like Xiao Ye to be a devoted lover in both reincarnations!"
Liu Qiaoqiao's beautiful eyes turned towards Xiao Ye on the judgment platform.
She knew that once the memory exposure ended, Xiao Ye's memories would be wiped.
Liu Qiaoqiao's face turned deathly pale.
Her A Ye would never return, would he?
Who could tell her if there was truly any regret medicine in this world?
On the judgment platform.
The elders saw Xiao Ye's body suddenly tremble!
"Xiao Ye's memories are being erased!"
Seeing Liu Qiaoqiao's breakdown, Ye Qingrou found an opportunity to ally.
"Liu Qiaoqiao, let's join forces."
Liu Qiaoqiao was consumed by grief. She lifted her gaze to look at Ye Qingrou.
"Join forces...?"
Her alluring face broke into a boisterous laugh.
"My A Ye is not a traitor to the entire Blue Star!"
Ye Qingrou hadn't expected Liu Qiaoqiao to suddenly laugh so wildly.
The wind rustled through the air.
Liu Qiaoqiao's clothes fluttered. A long ice blade materialized in her hand.
She looked towards Xiao Ye and suddenly slashed at him.
The elders, caught off guard, dodged.
"I'm going to take Xiao Ye's corpse!"
The people of Blue Star watched as Liu Qiaoqiao's ice blade, sharp and dangerous, threatened to sever Xiao Ye's carotid artery with a single touch.
As she neared Xiao Ye, Liu Qiaoqiao whispered softly, "A Ye... it won't hurt much, we'll be together forever soon."
"I haven't had a chance to make amends with you yet, how can I let A Ye forget me!"
"I want to take you to a place where no one knows, and hide you well."
[Ahhh, this deluded woman! After being whitewashed, she still plans to kill him?!]
The system was utterly stunned by Liu Qiaoqiao's actions.
It checked the whitewashing status; Liu Qiaoqiao was listed as 100% whitewashed.
The system's reward had also been issued to Xiao Ye.
[Whitewashing Score: S-Class!]
Soul Strength +2.
Mental Power +2.
Xiao Ye could feel his strength had already broken through to SS-Class.
The most terrifying being on Blue Star, the Left King, was only SSS-Class.
He had slumbered for millennia and was an old monster who had lived for countless years.
The sensation of increased strength was marvelous.
Xiao Ye felt that leaving the judgment platform was just a step away.
Seeing Liu Qiaoqiao's mental power manifest as an ice blade, intent on killing him,
Xiao Ye's eyes were calm. He told the system, [Liu Qiaoqiao cherishes her identity as the War God. She doesn't want to oppose Blue Star. By killing me, she can bring justice to countless people on Blue Star.]
[She can also take my body away. In Liu Qiaoqiao's eyes, I, whose memories are being extracted, am certainly dead.]
The system understood.
In simple terms, this woman deserved to be tormented.
Even after hitting a dead end and learning the truth, Liu Qiaoqiao dared not turn back!
She dared not abandon everything to save Xiao Ye and flee.
However, the memories exposed by Xiao Ye had brought immense torment to Liu Qiaoqiao.
With just a little more time to process, despair and pain would erupt to their peak.
Liu Qiaoqiao's complexion was unnaturally pale. Her sole thought was to take Xiao Ye away.
"War God Liu, stop!"
She ignored the elders' pleas. Liu Qiaoqiao's ice blade struck Xiao Ye.
Instantly, a massive surge of energy erupted from Xiao Ye, nullifying the damage from Liu Qiaoqiao's ice blade.
Liu Qiaoqiao's lips curved into a sweet, delusional smile, believing her act of freeing Xiao Ye was a mutual devotion.
However, she was too close to Xiao Ye. A blinding white light flashed before Liu Qiaoqiao's eyes.
Within the white light, Liu Qiaoqiao seemed to see the expression on Xiao Ye's face.
He opened those eyes, not with A Ye's tenderness, but with coldness and darkness.
Xiao Ye stared at Liu Qiaoqiao with icy eyes, watching her fear grow due to his reaction.
"A... A Ye..."
Liu Qiaoqiao reached out, wanting to touch Xiao Ye's face.
But she saw in his dark eyes an aura of malevolence.
Under the powerful impact of Xiao Ye's unleashed force, Liu Qiaoqiao's ice blade suffered a backlash.
Liu Qiaoqiao was flung from the judgment platform, a mouthful of blood spilling from her lips.
Her mind was filled with the image of Xiao Ye's face just now, and Liu Qiaoqiao fell into boundless panic.
"You want to kill Brother Xiao!?"
Ye Qingrou, enraged, approached Liu Qiaoqiao. She hadn't expected this woman to be so twisted.
Not only was she not helping save Brother Xiao, but she wanted to kill him.
The elders saw that Xiao Ye was unharmed.
They exchanged glances, filled with confusion.
"With such a powerful attack, how is Xiao Ye unharmed?"
"Our research into the memory extraction device is not thorough enough. This thing can nullify an attack from War God Liu!"
The crowds of Blue Star, witnessing this strange scene, could only attribute Xiao Ye's unscathed state
entirely to the memory extraction device.
After all, in their eyes, Xiao Ye had no power to retaliate.
Hao Duoyu saw Liu Qiaoqiao slumped on the ground, unable to stand.
He asked with concern, "War God Liu, are you alright?"
Liu Qiaoqiao's body trembled; she couldn't forget Xiao Ye's gaze.
"Has A Ye forgotten me?"
She looked at Xiao Ye on the judgment platform, her heart aching.
"Xiao Ye's aura is weakening. His memories must have been deleted."
Compared to their schadenfreude the first time, the crowds of Blue Star's tone had become somber.
They suddenly began to consider if torturing Xiao Ye to death like this
was perhaps too inhumane.
Liu Qiaoqiao was completely stunned.
"Has my A Ye disappeared?"
Xiao Ye, who had devoted everything to her in reincarnation, only to face execution in the end.
He would never return, would he?
"A Ye, come back, I beg you, come back..."
It was only now that Liu Qiaoqiao realized her grief.
Her earlier frantic actions were entirely a reaction to being unable to bear the stimulation.
"We were going to build a happy little home, and I was going to have two babies for you..."
"I really like the marital home you bought, we should get a kitten."
"I also want to... want to lie in your arms and see A Ye smile gently at Qiaoqiao."
"I like... I like A Ye so much, the best A Ye in the world..."
Liu Qiaoqiao's eyes ached terribly, but she couldn't cry anymore.
Her gaze was fixed on the judgment platform.
Spilt milk cannot be gathered.
Her A Ye was being tortured alive, his memories of her completely erased.
How cruel!
Liu Qiaoqiao's face was etched with despair, and she coughed up a second mouthful of blood.
"Pfft!"
It hurt so much.
"A Ye..."
Liu Qiaoqiao's breathing became labored. She lowered the hand covering her mouth.
Blood trickled down, and her trembling body crawled towards the judgment platform.
