Chapter 47 Want to Remember the Humiliation
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, temporarily setting aside the question and stopping thinking about it.
She moved her body carefully, ignoring the slight chill below as much as possible, and walked barefoot on the soft carpet, step by step toward the door.
She reached out, placed her hand on the door, and pushed it hard.
Not moving.
An invisible layer covered the entire door, freezing the door and frame together in an unshakeable state.
Time stood still.
This layer of space froze the door in the moment it closed, preventing any external force from moving it.
Although she had expected it, Qian Renxue's heart still sank.
No matter what her intentions, plans, or backup plans are, if she can't get out, it's all just empty talk.
She stood in front of the door for a moment, her hands gripping the hem of her dress clenching and unclenching repeatedly.
Finally, she took a deep breath, clutching the front of her robe tightly with one hand to prevent it from slipping down further, while the other hand hung at her side. Barefoot on the carpet, she walked step by step to Jiang Ci'an.
She gazed at the unfamiliar young man before her, her blue eyes no longer filled with the shame and indignation of before, but instead revealing a calmness:
What are your conditions?
Jiang Ci'an, who had just attached another piece of angelic divine armor to himself and was pondering how to fuse the last piece of torso bone, paused and turned to look at Qian Renxue:
"What are the conditions?"
Qian Renxue stared at him intently and said seriously:
"What conditions do you want to release me? Wealth? Status? Or something else? As long as you release me, I will satisfy whatever conditions you set."
"You know that I possess the Angelic Armor, so you must also know my identity. I have this ability, and what I'm saying is not an exaggeration."
Qian Renxue spoke with certainty.
If the person in front of you is only here for the angelic divine armor, you could just kill her directly, saving time and effort. After all, if they dare to do this even knowing her identity, they are clearly confident in facing her grandfather.
But he didn't; instead, he spared her life. Therefore, this person must have had some ulterior motive.
As long as the other party still has something to ask for, she has a glimmer of hope.
Wealth, power, resources, connections—as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, she possesses more than enough to satisfy the appetites of most people.
She's not afraid of negotiating terms; what she's afraid of is the other party not wanting anything at all.
Hearing this, Jiang Ci'an understood what the angel meant. He turned his attention back to the torso in front of him and shook his head.
"Don't worry, there are no conditions. I'll stay here for a while and then leave. After I leave, everything will go back to normal."
Qian Renxue paused slightly.
This guy means he'll leave, won't kill her, and won't do anything too drastic to her, but...
"What do you mean by 'back to normal'? And what about my appearance? Are you just going to leave me like this, abandoning me?"
Jiang Ci'an gave Qian Renxue a strange look.
Why do you make it sound like I'm a scumbag who starts a relationship and then abandons it?
He shook his head and explained:
"After I leave, the Angelic Armor will return to you, and you will be restored to your original state, continuing your plan to infiltrate Tiandou and usurp the throne without being affected in any way."
After all, once he leaves the virtual world, everything in the virtual world will be reset, and everything will naturally return to normal.
Qian Renxue paused for a moment.
She instinctively distrusted this explanation; the idea that "everything will be back to normal after you leave" sounded incredibly unbelievable.
But looking at the boy's indifferent demeanor, she was still unsure.
After a moment's hesitation, she tentatively asked:
"real?"
"nature."
Jiang Ci'an nodded. "You won't even remember anything that happened today, as if I had never been here."
Qian Renxue's pupils contracted slightly.
She looked at Jiang Ci'an, immediately becoming wary and alert, her face contorted with apprehension.
"You want to tamper with my mind? Erase my memories?"
While spirit-type Soul Masters capable of altering other people's memories are rare in the Soul Master world, they do exist.
She knew that some spirit-type soul masters liked to arbitrarily alter other people's consciousness, turning them into puppets to be played with at will.
Although most of these people will be wanted by the Spirit Hall and become Fallen Ones, most of those who become human puppets cannot recover and will live a muddled life for the rest of their lives.
If this person in front of her really has the ability to implant something bad into her mind, wouldn't she become his plaything?
The thought of being manipulated like before filled her with uncontrollable resistance.
Those tactile sensations, that feeling of powerlessness, that sense of being stripped naked and being watched...
If even her memories were altered, she wouldn't even know that someone had tampered with her, and she wouldn't even have the will to resist.
If that's really the case, she might as well be dead.
Seeing the angel lady take two steps back in obvious wariness, Jiang Ci'an shook his head.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. It's just that I'm a bit special."
"After I leave, you won't remember what happened today. It won't be altered or deleted; you'll simply forget it."
"Isn't that just tampering with my memories?"
Qian Renxue couldn't help but raise her voice slightly.
Jiang Ci'an blinked, his gaze towards Qian Renxue filled with curiosity.
He looked thoughtfully at the barefoot angel standing on the carpet before him, one hand clutching her clothes, her blue eyes filled with wariness and stubbornness. After a moment of silence, he asked:
"Don't you want to forget everything that happened today?"
Qian Renxue paused slightly.
She did not answer immediately.
She had to admit that everything that happened today was absolutely terrible.
Frozen in time, stripped of disguise, laid bare before this guy, manipulated at will by that hand, soul bone taken away, and then transformed into this state...
humiliation.
Utter humiliation.
but,
"I don't want to."
Qian Renxue looked at Jiang Ci'an, her voice not loud, but firm.
Although these memories are extremely humiliating, they are still her experiences.
She didn't want to forget; in fact, she felt she should remember it even more clearly, to firmly remember this feeling of utter helplessness.
Only by always remembering this will she avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future.
Jiang Ci'an looked at Qian Renxue, his golden eyes flickering slightly, his previously casual gaze becoming quite interested.
He slightly curled the corners of his mouth and nodded.
"You said it."
His tone was relaxed, with a hint of a smile.
"I will make sure you remember everything that happened today."
"..."
Qian Renxue blinked.
Looking at the smile on Jiang Ci'an's face, her throat bobbed slightly, and she suddenly felt something was wrong, so she couldn't help but take another step back.
How dare you!
An ominous premonition?
