140: Retrieve memory

"Qingxue is here."

Seeing it was her good friend, Jiang Susu revealed a smile of relief;

A moment later, she quickly explained to Ji Qianyou, "Qian You, you don't need to worry anymore. Qingxue's heavenly phoenix pearl can house soul bodies... It has already received Brother and the others."

The heavenly phoenix pearl?

Ji Qianyou gazed at the elegant figure in the Void Realm.

"..."

Huang Qingxue's expression was complex, her willow-like brows furrowed slightly;

Especially as she watched the Void Fissure gradually heal until it completely vanished... at this moment, her heart was in unprecedented disarray.

Even more so than when she had been forcibly kissed by Chen Qingxuan years ago.

Why?

That evil cultivator... really sacrificed himself to save the world?

In her world, Chen Qingxuan was an unpardonable bastard, but now, she had seen him sacrifice himself for the common people with her own eyes... at this moment, the convictions in her heart wavered.

But it was only for a moment; the shadows rooted deep in her heart since childhood made her unwilling to speculate about Chen Qingxuan's kindness... If he would rather betray the world than her... he would be a good person to her.

So if he would rather betray her than the world... what did that make him to her?

"I haven't even stuffed my foot in your mouth yet... how can you be dead?"

Huang Qingxue stared at the heavenly phoenix pearl with a complicated gaze;

Inside the pearl were three balls of light—the remnant souls of the three—drifting aimlessly within the <heavenly phoenix pearl>.

Thanks to the <heavenly phoenix pearl>'s own power, the three soul bodies that were originally fading away had now stabilized within it.

"Qingxue, I knew you would come."

Jiang Susu flew over excitedly.

Following closely behind were Ji Qianyou, Xuan Ling, and the other women.

Huang Qingxue looked up as Jiang Susu, while staring at the heavenly phoenix pearl, said, "Now do you believe in the existence of the Three Thousand Divine Provinces... and that Brother really was saving the world?"

"..."

Huang Qingxue's lips parted slightly, but she hesitated to speak;

Seeing that her good friend wasn't showing signs of heartbreaking grief, she said in surprise, "Anyway, he only has a wisp of a remnant soul left... As for you, I was worried you'd be foolishly overwhelmed by grief for him. Seeing you like this... I'm relieved."

"Hmm?"

Jiang Susu was stunned for a moment;

Then, she said honestly, "Brother ate the lotus of life... it seems to be a special treasure... He can still be resurrected in the future."

"What?"

Huang Qingxue was instantly shocked.

The next moment, she asked urgently, "What did you say? That bastard... even with only a remnant soul left, he's still lingering? He can still be resurrected?"

"Qingxue, don't get excited." Jiang Susu first comforted her, then pointed to the experts of the Human and Demon Races. "I know he left a psychological shadow on you when you were young that you can't let go of... but listen to the voices of the two races. Does Brother... really seem like an unpardonable villain?"

"..."

Huang Qingxue looked over;

She saw that the experts of the Human and Demon Races, who had been clearly divided before, were now like lifelong friends.

"We succeeded, we actually succeeded."

"I never expected Senior Chen to be him. I used to curse him as an evil cultivator... clearly he had the chance to kill me but didn't... Our misunderstanding of him was too deep. I truly deserve to die!"

"If not for the three of them... we certainly wouldn't have known the Cangyun Continent was going to be destroyed... It was they who saved us with their own lives."

Even the experts of the Human and Demon Races who had rarely interacted with Chen Qingxuan, or had never even spoken a word to him, were now in tears.

Not to mention Lin Ya and Li Yan, the leading figures of the Human and Demon Races... they were now embracing and weeping together.

"My Lord Demon Emperor... this old man hasn't even been able to care for you in your old age... and you've left like this."

"Alliance Master Chen, you suffered too much in the past. What will I do without you!"

"..."

Huang Qingxue looked incredulous;

Hearing the evaluations of the experts from both races regarding Chen Qingxuan, she felt as if she were in an unreal dream.

But she was no fool; she could naturally see that the experts of both races weren't acting.

Instead, having survived a brush with death, they felt genuine guilt, emotion, and admiration for the sacrifice of Chen Qingxuan and the other two.

"Qingxue, perhaps we all misunderstood Brother in the past," Jiang Susu said softly.

"No, how is that possible?"

Huang Qingxue found it hard to accept for a moment;

The experience of being bullied by Chen Qingxuan was so unforgettable... even today, her nightmares were filled with his "jie jie jie" laughter;

Occasionally, she would even dream of... shameful nightmares of being pinned down!

How could she have misunderstood an evil cultivator?

"I want to extract his memories!"

Suddenly, Huang Qingxue remembered an ability of the heavenly phoenix pearl;

Even if the other party was just a wisp of a remnant soul, she could use the heavenly phoenix pearl to... extract their memories from when they were alive.

Jiang Susu was shocked and hurriedly tried to stop her. "Qingxue, don't be impulsive..."

"I am very calm right now!"

Huang Qingxue clenched her small fists and spoke firmly.

Facing her good friend's panicked expression, she said solemnly, "I won't deny that his actions today were indeed beyond my expectations. I originally thought he had cultivated some evil technique and gathered the experts of both races for a sacrifice... that's why I came here."

"Although I misunderstood him on this matter... what he did to me in the past... I am not lying about that!"

"I want to let the people of both races see clearly... exactly what he did in the past."

Huang Qingxue spoke with no room for doubt.

Boom—

As she spoke, Huang Qingxue directly activated the heavenly phoenix pearl;

Without waiting for Jiang Susu to stop her, she directly channeled the power of the heavenly phoenix pearl to connect with Chen Qingxuan's remnant soul and projected a surge of power into the Void Realm—

Manifesting an incorporeal light screen!

So that everyone could see... Chen Qingxuan's past filthy actions.

"What's going on? What is this?"

At this moment, everyone noticed the commotion and looked up one after another.

On the screen appeared a little girl with a pretty face and a thin frame, but unfortunately, no one present except Ren Zixia recognized her as the young Huang Qingxue;

Although she had been a beauty since childhood, at this time... from top to bottom, she looked like a Little Pitiful One.

"This time... seems to be right before I met him?"

Huang Qingxue fell into reminiscence;

If she remembered correctly, after fighting a Beast Creature... she would encounter that evil cultivator.

But vaguely, something felt wrong. Why would she appear in Chen Qingxuan's memories before the two of them had even met?

She didn't have time to think further;

The next moment, the figure of a Beast Creature that had almost faded from her memory appeared in front of the young Huang Qingxue on the screen... "Whoa, that looks like a Spirit Sea Realm exotic beast... that little girl is in danger."

"By the way, who is this little girl? Why is she all alone in such a dangerous place?"

Seeing the images projected by the light screen, many people held their breath and focused their Qi Condensation;

They exclaimed that the little girl was doomed!

Even Huang Qingxue herself was somewhat incredulous. "Back then... I was actually able to kill a Spirit Sea Realm Beast Creature?"
