Chapter 343: Let’s Go Back and Get Married!
Sheng Xiao thought that he wouldn’t meet Yu Huang again and didn’t take her to heart. However, they met again at the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant.
Facing those who humiliated and slandered her, the little girl said firmly—
“I met Xuanyuan Jing when I was 15 years old. Before I met him, I was already the youngest movie queen in the Divine Moon Empire. What has the trophy, honor, recognition, and praise I received got to do with Xuanyuan Jing?! Even though my looks are ruined and I don’t have Xuanyuan Jing’s protection, how can trash like you who only knows how to curry favor with others humiliate me?”
As Sheng Xiao stood outside the door and listened, he agreed with her. He thought, ‘That’s right, you deserve better. A shallow fool like Xuanyuan Jing isn’t worth it.’
The second time they met, Yu Huang left a deep impression on Sheng Xiao.
Then, they met for the third time.
That day, Sheng Xiao was informed by the school to go to the Purifying Spirit Master branch in the Prosperous Capital to supervise the Beast Tamer Awakening Ceremony that year. He met Yu Huang again during the ceremony.
That day, she firmly supported her friend with her compa.s.sion and impulsiveness. She said—
“Were you asking what was so great about Anna Tao?”
“The trash you spoke of successfully overcame the fear in her heart and awakened her beast form. As for you, you were so frightened by the fear in your heart that you could only kneel on the ground and beg for forgiveness.”
“Just based on that fact, when you see her in the future, you have to lower your head and respectfully call her a Scholar!”
“Just based on the fact that her name can be recorded in the Divine Moon Empire’s Beast Tamer Register system in the future, while your name will forever be a shame to Shengdu High School!”
“Is this enough?”
Sheng Xiao didn’t know if it was enough, but it was enough for Yu Huang to leave a deep impression on him.
It wasn’t that he had never met a smart, brave, and proud girl, but no girl he met was as stubborn and proud as Yu Huang.
She was disfigured, but she exuded an unparalleled sense of charm. She was like a shining body that constantly attracted Sheng Xiao’s attention.
More and more memories were subconsciously recalled by Sheng Xiao. As his memories were recovered, Yu Huang’s image became more vivid.
Sheng Xiao felt warmth in his heart when he looked at Yu Huang.
The memory extended from four years ago to the trip to the Central PaG.o.da months ago.
Sheng Xiao’s memories started to come back intermittently. When he recalled breaking into the Central PaG.o.da with Prince Donor and the others, his vision suddenly darkened.
It was as if an invisible hand had suddenly slashed down from the sky and forcefully cut off Sheng Xiao’s actions.
Sheng Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Lin Jiansheng’s hand. He shouted in horror, “It’s all fake!”
Lin Jiansheng felt as if his bones were about to be broken by Sheng Xiao when Sheng Xiao grabbed his wrist. He frowned and reminded Sheng Xiao, “Let go. I can’t withstand your strength.”
Sheng Xiao quickly let go of Lin Jiansheng’s wrist. He said, “I’m sorry, Mentor. Did I break your wrist?”
“Do you really think I’m a fragile young lady? Do you think my bones will break with a slight twist?” Lin Jiansheng saw that Sheng Xiao’s eyes were wandering. He asked, “Do you remember now?”
Sheng Xiao rubbed his face with his palm and sat up on the stone bed.
He said, “I remember almost everything, but I can’t remember what happened after I entered the Central PaG.o.da.” Sheng Xiao frowned and felt irritated. “I feel that there is a force preventing me from touching that memory.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiansheng said, “If that’s the case, I’m afraid you won’t be able to retrieve this memory for the time being.”
Sheng Xiao quickly said, “The dean said before that if I break through to the Grand Master level, I might be able to retrieve that memory. Can’t I?”
“A Grand Master Beast Tamer can rely on their own strength to stimulate their memory potential. That’s why the dean said that there’s a high chance of you recovering your memory. However, the principle of using your memory potential to recover your memory is the same as what I did just now. Therefore, even if you break through to the Grand Master level, I’m afraid you won’t be able to recover that particular memory.”
“Something must have happened in the Central PaG.o.da.” Sheng Xiao clenched his fists and said, “My memories are getting more and more blurry. I can feel that I’m subconsciously resisting what happened in the Central PaG.o.da. Mentor, what happened in the Central PaG.o.da must be very important.”
“I can’t help you in such a situation.” Lin Jiansheng patted Sheng Xiao’s shoulder and said, “Perhaps, when the opportunity comes, you will remember everything.”
Sheng Xiao’s expression was still ugly.
This feeling of knowing that he had forgotten something important but unable to recall it was terrible.
…
Yu Huang went out to train for five days.
For five days, Sheng Xiao didn’t see Yu Huang. He felt lonely, so he sat in the cave and meditated.
When Sheng Xiao woke up, he found Lin Jiansheng looking at him strangely. Sheng Xiao touched his face. He didn’t feel anything strange. He asked Lin Jiansheng, “Mentor, why are you looking at me like that?”
Lin Jiansheng said, “I saw a golden particle in your mind. What is that? I’ve never seen it in the minds of others.”
“There’s such a thing?” Sheng Xiao was shocked. He thought for a while and said, “It can’t be… a tumor, right?”
Lin Jiansheng sneered. “Have you seen a tumor that looks golden?”
Sheng Xiao stopped talking.
Lin Jiansheng said, “These days, I’ve searched through all the books in my library, but I didn’t find anything like yours. This won’t do, I have to investigate clearly.”
Lin Jiansheng was a man of action. When he encountered something that he didn’t understand, he had to investigate it thoroughly. If he couldn’t find out, he wouldn’t be able to eat or sleep in peace.
“Kong Qing, let’s go. Pack your things and leave with me!”
Kong Qing immediately packed his mother’s skeleton and some trinkets into Lin Jiansheng’s interspatial ring. Lin Jiansheng held Kong Qing in his arms and brought him out of Broken Cliff.
Sheng Xiao was speechless.
In a few minutes, he was alone in the cave.
Sheng Xiao got up and walked out. He searched for two days in the Broken Cliff before he found Yu Huang, who was focused on purifying spirits.
He sighed and sat down on a nearby tree to meditate.
After about half a month, Sheng Xiao was suddenly alarmed by a majestic energy. He opened his eyes and saw a fiery red psychic power spreading out from Yu Huang’s body.
The psychic power was huge. When it spread out, it covered the entire Broken Cliff. Sheng Xiao was shocked. He asked happily, “You’re at Level 4?”
The psychic power slowly returned to Yu Huang. When it was completely in place, Yu Huang opened her eyes. “Yes, I’m at the fourth level.”
At this moment, there were only eight days left until their wedding.
Yu Huang stood up and stretched her body. She looked up at Sheng Xiao and said, “Let’s go back and get married!”
