Chapter 342: Regaining His Memory

Sheng Xiao smiled helplessly. He said, “Only people with too many pieces of their soul missing are stupid. I don’t have a lot of pieces missing. It’s not serious.”

“Why did you lose a portion of your soul? Were you injured when you were young?”

Sheng Xiao shook his head. “I was born like this.”

Yu Huang was even more puzzled when she heard this. Why would someone be born with an incomplete soul?

“Alright!” Kong Qing suddenly clapped his hands and said, “I smell an aroma. The rabbit that Daddy roasted is cooked. Hurry up and go back!” Kong Qing, who had just swallowed an entire dragon snake, was still thinking about Lin Jiansheng’s spicy rabbit.

The three of them returned to the cave. As expected, Lin Jiansheng had already prepared the dish.

The pot of spicy rabbit was stored in an iron pot and placed on a temporary bonfire. The four of them sat around the bonfire and ate the rabbit, as if they were eating hotpot.

When they were eating hotpot, Yu Huang complained to Lin Jiansheng, “Mentor, Kong Qing said that your flesh is sweet and delicious. After you die, he will eat you.”

Kong Qing didn’t think that there was anything wrong with his idea, nor did he think that it was immoral. He even nodded and patted his chest to promise, “Don’t worry, Daddy. I won’t waste anything.”

Lin Jiansheng was speechless. He felt that all the bones in his body were hurting.

After eating the spicy rabbit, Yu Huang had to cultivate.

Sheng Xiao wanted to follow her, but Yu Huang rejected him. “You can’t go. You’ll distract me.”

Sheng Xiao raised his eyebrows and obediently stayed in the cave.

After Yu Huang left, Lin Jiansheng threw all the dishes into the pot and said to Sheng Xiao, “There’s a jar with water inside. Go wash the dishes.”

Sheng Xiao stared at the greasy bowl and chopsticks. In the end, he could only roll up his sleeves and wash the dishes without complaints. After he finished washing the dishes, he carried the pot back to the cave. He heard Lin Jiansheng say, “Come over. I’ll try to repair your memory.”

Sheng Xiao was overjoyed. “Mentor, you know how to restore memories?”

Lin Jiansheng said, “No, but I’ll try.”

Sheng Xiao felt resistant. He said hesitantly, “Mentor, will I become mentally retarded if the repair is unsuccessful?”

Lin Jiansheng said, “Don’t worry, I’m more afraid of you becoming mentally retarded than you are. If you become mentally retarded, my disciple will suffer for the rest of her life.”

Sheng Xiao was relieved.

“Go over and lie down.”

Sheng Xiao laid beside Kong Qing’s mother.

When Kong Qing’s mother was alive, she had only slept with one man. After she died, she had “slept” with old men and young men.

Sheng Xiao stared at the skeleton for a moment before closing his eyes.

Lin Jiansheng walked to the stone bed and said, “If you lose your memories, it’s permanent. You can’t forcefully repair them through other means. However, the structure of a person’s brain is magical. Memory is like wisdom. It will continue to grow.”

“What I want to do isn’t to repair your memory, but to stimulate your memory potential and let you dig out that missing memory yourself. How much you can remember depends on your potential.”

“I understand.”

Lin Jiansheng transferred some gentle and pure psychic power into Sheng Xiao’s mind and searched through his mind. He didn’t find Sheng Xiao’s memory, but he found a dark golden particle in Sheng Xiao’s mind.

Although the granule was small, it emitted an incomparably powerful energy.

Lin Jiansheng had never seen such a thing before.

What was this?

Lin Jiansheng calmed down and continued to search. Then, he found Sheng Xiao’s memory.

The memory was like an electric net buried under the city. At first glance, it was chaotic and irregular. If one looked carefully, they would discover that every wire had a beginning and an end.

There was one red line that was slightly dim in the middle.

It was the memory that Sheng Xiao had lost.

Lin Jiansheng summoned his psychic power to approach Sheng Xiao’s memory. He used his gentle psychic power to stimulate the dim memory line.

As Lin Jiansheng moved, Sheng Xiao gradually relaxed.

He felt like he was floating in the clouds, but also like he was soaking in a hot spring. Some familiar and unfamiliar scenes silently appeared in his mind.

His memories from four years ago were slowly recovered.

…

“Recently, several young Beast Tamers have been assassinated in our country. Last night, another young female Beast Tamer was assassinated in Prosperous Capital.”

“Xiao’er, you’re not young anymore. It’s time to start taking over my work. There aren’t many things happening in the Divine Realm Academy recently. Take a leave from the academy and help me go to the Prosperous Capital to investigate the truth behind that girl’s death.”

Sheng Lingfeng stood in the office of the Beast Tamer Alliance in Jingdu and said to Sheng Xiao.

It was Sheng Xiao’s first time hearing about this. He was surprised. He asked in confusion, “Father, who killed her? Do you have anyone you suspect?”

“This matter is very complicated. We can’t find out the truth that quickly. Go to the Prosperous Capital first and investigate the death of that girl.”

“Okay, Father.”

It was July, and it was raining in Prosperous Capital. The temperature felt even hotter and humid.

The black shirt clung to Sheng Xiao’s body. The hot and humid weather made him feel troubled.

He walked into the hospital and was supposed to go straight to the morgue in the basement. As he crossed the courtyard, his mind suddenly ached, as if something else was guiding him down another path.

Sheng Xiao stared at the floor tiles under his feet and pondered for a moment. Then, he turned a corner and walked toward the opposite corridor.

The weather was very unpredictable in July. It was still raining lightly a second ago, but in the blink of an eye, the setting sun shone through the clouds and onto the ground.

The drizzle mixed with the sunlight. A rainbow suddenly appeared in the hospital’s garden. Sheng Xiao saw the tail of the rainbow. He walked out from the corner and finally saw the entire rainbow.

The red moon in the garden was blooming beautifully. There were drops of water on the petals. The rainbow was in the middle of the garden and it formed an arched bridge.

This should have been a beautiful painting, but someone had ruined the scenery here—

“Yu Huang, forget about our engagement.”

Sheng Xiao thought to himself, ‘Where did this idiot come from? He broke off the engagement at this time?!’

The scenery here was picturesque. Compared to breaking off an engagement, it was more suitable for a fateful first encounter or reunion.

At that time, Sheng Xiao didn’t know that the girl he met on this rainy day would become the girl he loved forever.

Sheng Xiao looked at the person who spoke. He saw a man in a light gray shirt standing at the bottom of the corridor. He was breaking off the engagement with a woman standing in the garden path with an umbrella.

The man was tall and handsome. His side profile was chiseled, and he looked outstandiing.

The woman standing opposite him was wearing a hospital uniform. Her exquisite figure could be vaguely seen under the wide hospital uniform.

She had a good figure.

Sheng Xiao saw the girl’s face clearly.

It was supposed to be a beautiful face, but because of the burn, the right side of her face was covered in ugly burn scars.

She was disfigured.

Sheng Xiao felt that it was a pity. If such a girl wasn’t disfigured, she would definitely become a peerless beauty after she grew up.

If someone broke off an engagement here, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, it would lose its romantic vibe.

Sheng Xiao was about to leave when he suddenly heard the girl say, “Xuanyuan Jing, when you pursued me back then, the entire city knew about it. At that time, you were very patient. Now, you just want to forget it?”

“It seems like Young Master Xuanyuan’s love is really worthless.”

Sheng Xiao wanted to leave but was stopped by the name ‘Xuanyuan Jing’.

Xuanyuan Jing?

Wasn’t that the Xuanyuan family’s third young master?

Wasn’t Yu Huang the fiancée of the Xuanyuan family’s third young master?

Sheng Xiao felt that Yu Huang’s name was familiar. Wasn’t Yu Huang an actress his mother had been a fan of for many years?

Tsk.

Sheng Xiao decided to stay and watch. If his mother knew that her idol had been dumped by the third young master of the Xuanyuan family, she would be furious.

Sheng Xiao stood quietly at the corner and watched as the two of them made a bet, like children.

However, he didn’t expect that after the bet, the girl would walk towards him and even take the initiative to borrow a pen from him.

A pen?

When he was outside, Sheng Xiao only had one pen with him.

But this pen was in sync with the Divine Realm Academy’s disciplinary hall. Any words written with this pen would be engraved on the wall of the disciplinary hall.

Sheng Xiao hesitated for a moment before lending the pen to Yu Huang.

He wanted Xuanyuan Jing’s name to appear in the Disciplinary Hall and stay there for a few years to help his mother, who was Yu Huang’s fan, relieve her hatred.

But Sheng Xiao didn’t expect that the little girl called Yu Huang would sacrifice so much for the sake of the bet.
