Chapter 460: Words That Cut to the Heart

Coming to the Forgetful Emotion Sea, I knew the Darkness Origin would set a trap.

But that’s just Lu Ye’s personality; even if he knows it’s a trap, he still has to come and take a look.

After all, his enemies are there, flaunting their power. That’s more unbearable than getting killed!

This time, he gave the Darkness Origin a harsh beating.

One punch and one sword swing should leave the Darkness Origin completely dumbfounded, suffering a loss of about one to nearly two percent.

It doesn’t sound like much, but the Darkness Origin needs a ton of energy to protect those entities hidden within its body.

If the Darkness Origin loses too much energy, those lurking beings will inevitably be exposed, and those strong ones definitely won’t allow that to happen.

These folks clinging to the Darkness Origin also restrict it.

As for the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace’s Saintess, Lu Ye hardly remembers her anymore.

However, he still agreed to meet her.

What then appeared before Lu Ye was a portrait. The woman in the portrait—hmm… from Lu Ye’s perspective, she’s undoubtedly a top-tier beauty.

But Lu Ye didn’t care one bit.

Women are terrifying!

“So, you’ve ascended, Fellow Daoist. It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Lu Ye said calmly.

This method is basically how people from the upper realm contact those in the lower realm. They even have such means in the First Heaven, and in the Sixth Heaven, there are even more.

Some people even use such methods to chat across realms.

With his status in the Seventh Heaven, flirting with a fairy from the Sixth Heaven.

Sure, there are people who get duped—like the fairy from the Sixth Heaven who calls some guy “husband” left and right, even playing around from a distance, naive enough to think that ascending to the Seventh Heaven would mean securing a powerful partner. In reality, those without sense at all have no chance of ever ascending to the Seventh Heaven.

Others fantasize, thinking that even though they’re plain in the Sixth Heaven, there’s some big shot from the Seventh Heaven madly in love with them, even willing to defeat the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens just to come down and take them up.

Toxic positivity really messes people up!

“Husband, do you still remember me?” Yin Qingcheng’s voice was laced with barely suppressed excitement.

It had been so long since she’d seen her husband’s calm demeanor. Wasn’t this progress?

Lu Ye???

Thoughts flashed in an instant.

In that moment, Lu Ye realized who she was.

Yin Qingcheng!

His former wife, whom he had resolutely forgotten. Not that it was unknown what they had; if he had forgotten, then there was absolutely no possibility between them.

“Ah, it’s Fellow Daoist Yin. Please don’t call me like that; I am Lu Ye, and in this life, I have no Dao Companion!” Lu Ye said gravely.

In truth, a faint sense of affection for Yin Qingcheng was creeping into Lu Ye’s heart, but such a feeling was quickly suppressed by his Dao heart and swiftly faded away.

“But husband, I am your Dao Companion from your last life! Your most beloved Dao Companion!” Yin Qingcheng said eagerly.

Lu Ye merely shook his head gently.

“Fellow Daoist, I had seven women in my past life, and you weren’t one of them. Have you perhaps miscalculated your cultivation and caught some kind of mental illness? If needed, I can refine some alchemy pills for you at a low price; they might help,” Lu Ye even had a faint smile on his face.

He truly felt no emotion towards Yin Qingcheng; talking to her felt exactly like conversing with any regular Fellow Daoist.

“Seven women?” Yin Qingcheng froze.

The instant those four words were spoken, she felt her scalp tingle, her heart racing like it was about to leap out of her throat.

Wait, wasn’t Lu Ye supposed to have amnesia?

How did he still know he had seven women in his past life?

Was there something left over in his fragmented memories that allowed him to grasp some basic details?

“Husband, you said you had seven women in your last life—who were they? Do you know?” Yin Qingcheng’s voice started to tremble with panic.

Lu Ye frowned. “Fellow Daoist, that seems like my private matter, and it has nothing to do with you. Asking like that is a bit excessive.”

While Lu Ye was talking with Yin Qingcheng, he was also pondering other matters. This current crisis with his memory had something to do with the Compassionless Sage.

The Compassionless Sage’s power was being manipulated by the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace.

It became clear that the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace wanted him dead.

Lu Ye’s gaze brightened slightly.

He was… quite poor!

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace, however, was a wealthy household!

“Husband, I am also your Dao Companion and your wife! Your most beloved wife, so how can this be private?”

Lu Ye felt cold inside. Sure, a wife that made him want to forget everyone could be a real charmer!

But that was entirely his intention.

If you want me to forget everyone else and only remember you, then I’ll remember everyone but you!

“Then let me tell you about my seven ex-wives.”

“Bai Qiulan, Yue Hongling, Chu Ling!”

These three were the women he had known the longest.

Yin Qingcheng, appearing only as a portrait, couldn’t hide her changing expressions, but in the Seventh Heaven, she had completely drained of color!

Each name that came out of Lu Ye’s mouth made Yin Qingcheng’s face grow more and more pale.

Lu Ye clearly stated all seven names.

Yin Qingcheng felt as if she had fallen into an ice pit.

He… remembered them all…

“So, so…”

Yin Qingcheng was so shocked she couldn’t even speak.

Lu Ye caught on to her unfinished sentence, “So, I only forgot you!”

This one sentence struck Yin Qingcheng’s heart like a bolt of lightning.

The portrait seemed to ignite spontaneously.

Yin Qingcheng was going absolutely mad!

Her Dao wailed at this moment.

Her entire being trembled violently, the energy within her surging like a tsunami.

The Dao was collapsing.

At that moment, Yin Qingcheng found herself in a predicament similar to Yue Hongling’s—her Dao was about to fall apart.

She had one foot in the Dao of Lu Ye and viewed him as her utmost love. Upon receiving Lu Ye, and at their most passionate moment, she had chosen to turn the Dao of Ultimate Emotion into the Dao of Forgetful Emotion. That was the moment she truly formed her Dao, and she expected to soar into the sky like the Compassionless Sage.

For her Dao, from now on, would become whole and unblemished.

She obtained her greatest love, then discarded it—that was her complete Dao.

And now, since Lu Ye had completely forgotten her, she could no longer possess her greatest love; her Dao would never have the chance at completeness again.

“Ding! The host’s current attack power is terrifyingly strong!”

The System couldn’t help but marvel at the Little Heavenly Dao.

In fact, Lu Ye learned this kind of tactic from the System himself.

Striking the snake at its weak point, killing while hitting the heart—that’s the most crushing way to deal damage!

Lu Ye looked at the individuals from the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace and thought, well, his Primordial Force was running low, so he couldn’t take on the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace. He’d wait until his Primordial Force recovered before making a move!
