Xia Qingxue had never imagined, not in her wildest dreams, that a simple cleanup operation would end up like this.
The opponent she had fought with all her might turned out to be the man she cherished with all her heart.
In an instant, Xia Qingxue felt her strength drain away. The imposing Valkyrie Battle Armor she wore, unable to maintain its combat state due to the turmoil in her heart, automatically retracted into her body.
Her body trembled violently before her legs suddenly gave out, and she collapsed in front of Chen Pingchuan.
At that moment, it was as if the world had lost all its color. A sorrowful, deathly silence descended, and all she could hear was the sound of her own ragged breathing.
With trembling hands, Xia Qingxue pulled Chen Pingchuan into her arms, gazing at his familiar yet strangely distant face.
The man she loved so deeply had now become a corpse, never to speak again.
"Why... why did it have to be you? Why were *you* the Black Armored Warrior?"
