“Xiao...Xiao Rou has lost her memory?”

Xu Que looked shocked. His eyes widened in disbelief.

“How could a perfectly healthy person lose her memory?

“Did she forget everything that had happened that year?”

“Memory loss? I guess you could put it that way,” Zixia Fairy thought a little and nodded as she replied.

“What...what the hell is going on?” Xu Que still looked rather perplexed.

He really couldn’t understand why there would be a sudden case of melodramatic memory loss, like in an episode of a Korean drama.

If this had been a movie or a novel, he might have had to complain to the screenwriter or author that the story was too far-fetched.

“There must be a problem with her soul.”

Zixia Fairy muttered to herself for a while before she said, “I tried to figure her out. She originally had a mortal body and was killed. But you borrowed Five Elements Celestial Spiritual Roots to resurrect her and also achieved the Ancient Five Elemental Arts body. Although this kind of situation was unimaginable, yet you accomplished it. I suppose you used some secret method?”

Zixia Fairy gave Xu Que a strange look and continued, “But your method might have had some defects. Before Xiao Rou was killed, her soul had begun to dissipate. Even though you saved the soul, you may have been a step too late, and some parts of the soul had already dissipated. Failing to collect it all back then is probably the reason she lost that part of her memory.”

“Are you saying that part of her soul has dissipated? It...it seems unlikely,” Xu Que frowned, and he soon became silent.

When Xiao Rou had died in his arms, he had failed to collect all of Xiao Rou’s soul in time. On the one hand, he essentially didn’t know that there was such a resurrection technique. On the other hand, he was also eager to take revenge. It was on the way to take Xiao Rou to the Fallen Spirit Sect that he had received the System prompt to exchange the Soul Pagoda to protect Xiao Rou’s soul.

Only now when he’d heard what Zixia Fairy had said, Xu Que had realized what had happened. He recalled what had happened at the time, and he still felt some heartache now. So it was likely that at that time Xiao Rou’s soul had dissipated a bit. However, his cultivation stage was low at that time, and he couldn’t detect it.

“Is...is there any way to redeem her soul?” Xu Que looked at Zixia Fairy and asked with a grimace.

If Xiao Rou had forgotten the murder case in Pan Shan Village, then it might not be said to be a bad thing. At least she didn’t have that memory and would have a lot less psychological trauma.

It was the fact that she had also forgotten Xu Que that made it difficult for Xu Que to accept.

“The technique...is hard. It’s so difficult that I don’t know where to start explaining. For the most part, it’s some kind of Soul Recall technique,” Zixia Fairy frowned and shook her head as she spoke.

What she meant was that she knew or had heard of some kind of technique, but it didn’t seem too reliable, and its difficulty level was high. It was so high that she was unable to explain it to Xu Que with words.

“I still have to try to do it, even if it’s hard to do,” Xu Que declared.

Zixia Fairy glanced at Xu Que and said, “When I refer to its difficulty, I mean that I also don’t know which technique exactly to use, although I’m sure that there’s a Soul Recall technique in this world. Nevertheless, I don’t know where to find it or how to execute it.”

“I understand. But come what may, I’m going to try to do it,” Xu Que spoke adamantly.

“I didn’t finish speaking just now.”

Zixia Fairy pursed her lips and hesitated before saying, “From my point of view, or from the point of view of the Celestial Emperors, Xiao Rou’s current state is perfect. Her physique is very special. Although she has lost a little bit of her soul, her soul also signified that it was complete after her rebirth. The lost part of her soul has become nonessential.”

“What does that mean?” Xu Que frowned.

“It means that if we retrieve the lost part of her memory, she’ll also face more distracting thoughts. The Ancient Five Elemental Arts body is very special and can easily produce Inner Demons. Once the distracting thoughts increase, it will not be beneficial to her future cultivation,” Zixia Fairy calmly responded.

It was very rational thinking. Even though it was a little unfeeling, it was indeed what was best for Xiao Rou!

Xu Que hesitated for a moment and was quiet.

If it was good for Xiao Rou, then he naturally would accept it. Sometimes, a thing like memory loss might not be such a bad thing.

“Let her make her own choice when I see her. No matter what she chooses, I will do as she wishes,” Xu Que eventually said in a low voice.

He didn’t want to make the decision for Xiao Rou. Xiao Rou had to decide for herself whether she wanted to restore her memory.

“Very good then,” Zixia Fairy agreed.

Soon after, they became quiet and stood together in silence.

After a while, Zixia Fairy looked at Xu Que and said, “In the Mystery Land of the South Continent, you have six female confidantes. So, now that you are here, who’s your other female confidante? Is it that woman with the last name, Liu?”

“Huh?”

Xu Que immediately got tense and felt chills running down his back. At the same time, he was at a loss about what to say.

“He had six female confidantes in the Mystery Land of the South Continent?

“That’s incorrect. Where did the number six come from?”

“Hang on a second, you have misunderstood me. Not all the women that I know have a relationship with me,” Xu Que quickly explained.

“For instance?” Zixia Fairy tilted her head to the side and calmly looked at Xu Que.

“You said six people. Are you referring to Xiao Rou, Su Yun Lan, Madam Ya, Su Ling’er, Su Xiao Qi, and Situ Hai Tang?” Xu Que counted with his fingers as he listed the names.

“Who else could it be?” Zixia Fairy asked calmly.

“Ha, ha, ha, of course that’s not the case. Su Xiao Qi is Su Ling’er’s sister, and I also regard her as a sister,” Xu Que said with a laugh.

“You regard Su Xiao Qi as a sister. You can’t even let slip a sister?” Zixia Fairy frowned.

“F*ck!”

Xu Que immediately opened his mouth to ask, “Azi, are you also a comedian?”

“What?” Zixia Fairy looked puzzled, while shaking her head as she stated, “My name is Shi Qingxuan.”

“I know, Xuan’er,” Xu immediately looked at Zixia Fairy with a mischievous smile and even gave her a wink.

However, Zixia Fairy remained unmoved and still calmly looked at Xu Que as she added, “Since you said Su Xiao Qi doesn’t count, then...who are the other two women you have out there?”

“Uh...” Xu Que’s expression froze again.

He thought that he’d had a narrow escape, but he didn’t expect to circle back to this conversation again.

“What a stubborn woman!

“But so what?

I, Xu Que, am not to be trifled with. I have held back for so long, it’s time to man up.”

SWISH!

Xu Que gave a big wave of his hand and pulled out a few amulets from his bosom. One of them inadvertently slipped from his hands and dropped to the ground!

“Eh?”

Xu Que gave a cry of surprise and he suddenly fell on the ground with a BANG. His swiftly picked up the amulets, while he looked up at Zixia Fairy at the same time as if nothing had happened. “There’s one who’s named Liu Jingning, and another called Jiang Hongyan.”

Zixia Fairy looked at Xu Que kneeling in front of her. Soon after, she suddenly reached out to cover her mouth as the sound of a TITTER came out.

“Is this really necessary?” She couldn’t suppress her laughter. This guy was so amusing. He actually pretended to take out stuff and accidentally dropped it on the ground so that he could kneel to pick them up and then talk to her. He had done all this to find an excuse to kneel on the ground in front of her.

Not far away, Duan Jiude, who had originally felt reluctant to face the wall and reflect, also secretly watched Xu Que and Zixia Fairy.

When he saw Xu Que suddenly kneeling in front of Zixia Fairy, his face suddenly looked ecstatic. He was so excited that he clapped.

But the next moment when Zixia Fairy covered her mouth and laughed out loud, Duan Jiude’s excitement instantly died. “Sh*t,” he said.

“I, an old man, have lived for so many years, and this is the first time I’ve realized that my grand master knows how to laugh.

“I’ve really lived long enough to see everything!”
