Chapter 459: Completely Forgotten

Of course, later on, they all provoked me, and then I had to seal them into the Human Emperor Banner. Can't blame me for that.

The memories of these three women profoundly affected Lu Ye and helped him grow.

He believed that from now on, he would never forcefully alter others' destinies.

Respect others' destinies, let go of the hero complex!

That is the wisest choice for everyone.

Otherwise, you'll be sucked into the abyss, unable to extricate yourself!

There are still five more memories.

"System, can you briefly summarize the situations of the remaining five?" Lu Ye asked.

"Ding! Affirmative!"

The system began recounting the circumstances of the five women.

The first was Yue Hongling. She didn't trust me and remained fixated on a deceased demon clan's *white moonlight*, choosing betrayal and being extremely stubborn. Now, after enduring countless pains, she appears to have truly repented.

The second, Shangguan Huanling. Because I spoiled her too much, her Dao of Affection dissipated. She was too gullible and was manipulated into poisoning. In this life, she's re-cultivating the Dao of Affection, relentlessly pursuing Lu Ye.

The third, An Li. Dissatisfied with a stable life, her aspirations reached beyond the heavens. In both past and present lives, she conspired with the Dark Origin, becoming one of the masterminds behind the betrayal. Even now, she shows no remorse.

The fourth, Vermilion Bird. A false saint, quick to sacrifice others. In her past life, misled, she harbored deep resentment toward Lu Ye. In this life, Lu Ye personally struck her down. After turning into an obsession, the Dark Origin paid a heavy price to revive her. Now, their accounts are settled, with no lingering affection.

The fifth, Yin Qingcheng. Originally cultivated the Dao of Absolute Love, but after her life was saved by the intervention of the Detached Immortal Venerable, she believed it was out of love for her. Even after revival, she remained on the Dao of Absolute Love—until she abruptly shifted to the Dao of Detachment. In this life, she still follows the Dao of Detachment, leveraging Lu Ye for her Dao.

The prime instigator behind the disappearance of these memories.

Lu Ye nodded, understanding the situations of these five.

An Li still shows no remorse and continues to ally with the Dark Origin against me. This means I haven't done enough—she's still alive.

My hatred must be insufficient.

I must retrieve An Li's memories. That way, ending her will be all the sweeter.

When An Li's memories came through, Lu Ye blurted out.

No wonder An Li suffered. No wonder she couldn't accept a peaceful life—she was conditioned into mental distortion!

Hmm, death is her only due. Just don't know where she is now.

Logically, An Li should be closer to the Dark Origin, yet she's nowhere to be seen. Maybe she departed for cultivation training.

Aside from An Li, since there's no debt between me and Vermilion Bird, her memories are irrelevant. But for the sake of memory completeness, I'll restore them anyway.

After reviewing the memories with Vermilion Bird, Lu Ye realized the real issue wasn't her "saintly" behavior but her distrust of him.

Truly no debts mean no interest there.

Then there's Yue Hongling. She has come to repentance?

Fine, may as well review. Lu Ye wanted to see precisely how she erred.

As for Shangguan Huanling...

The Path of Love feels like child's play. Ah, screw it—no point remembering this anyway, because Lu Ye believes there probably aren't any valuable memories worth recalling!

As for Yin Qingcheng, her goal was to make him forget everyone else. Well, then he simply won’t remember her. He remembers everyone else—except… huh, everyone but Shangguan Huanling!

Lu Ye knew forgetting her would cost him some sweet memories.

But while some beauty would fade, he would also lose his troubles and gain satisfaction. Talk about a sweet deal!

"Ding!" "Are you sure you want to forget the memories of Yin Qingcheng and that Shangguan idiot?" Shen Xitong asked repeatedly for confirmation.

Lu Ye wavered.

Then it hit him—if he forgot Shangguan Huanling, what if he encountered her again and ended up falling for her once more?

In his past life, he had already fallen for her, which meant there must be something about Shangguan Huanling that he found appealing.

Just imagining falling for her again gave Lu Ye the creeps.

"Nope, nope—scratch that. Bring back Shangguan Huanling’s memories too. I’m a little worried."

The system exhaled in relief.

Phew. At least the host kept the Shangguan idiot’s memories.

If Lu Ye really erased Shangguan Huanling’s memories, combined with her current terrifying behavior—always yanking him into bed—given that Lu Ye had been reborn without having done anything yet, she’d probably rope him into bed in no time.

So it was better to keep her memories intact.

In truth, both Lu Ye and the system knew that the best way to deal with Shangguan Huanling was for Lu Ye to reunite with her.

Once they were together again, Shangguan Huanling would undoubtedly start some nonsense.

Though it might take a while for her to actually cause any mischief—after all, Lu Ye had been starved for action this long. For someone like him, who thrived on indulgence, he was downright ravenous.

Shangguan Huanling was the same. For someone who actively sought out his bed, going this long without satisfaction had left her brain just one big bedroom at this point.

If these two wolves were left alone now, the system suspected they might not leave the bed for a decade.

And during those ten years, their bond would be inseparable, stuck together like glue.

For Shangguan Huanling to actually cause trouble, it would take a very, very long time.

That kinda setup would cost way too much—the system wasn’t having it!

Hmm… The host was meant to return to the Great Dao. No way could he laze around in some lovey-dovey haze.
