Chapter 148

The others also looked at Mei Luo expectantly upon hearing that there was a way to recover Xuanyuan Mo’s memory.

Faced with the others’ expectant eyes, Mei Luo said casually, “But no one has seen this treasure by far. Legend has it only the Celestial Maiden of the Wilderness Holy Region is qualified to have this treasure. Other people cannot use it even if they obtain it. And I only know it is a magic weapon.”

Actually, these were the top secrets of the Wilderness Holy Region. As the sacred maiden of the Wilderness Holy Region, she shouldn’t have voiced out the secrets. However, today, she revealed them for the sake of Xi. She believed that the people present wouldn’t leak the secrets.

The people were frustrated to hear that. No one had seen it. All they knew was its name only. No matter how capable they were, they couldn’t find it anyway! Besides, Mei Luo also said that only Celestial Maiden could use the treasure. Even if they found it, it would be of no use.

Duanmu Xi frowned and then thought for a while, “Third Master, do you know where the Celestial Maiden of the Wilderness Holy Region is?” If she knew where the Celestial Maiden was, she could go and beg the Celestial Maiden for help.

Staring at Duanmu Xi, Mei Luo shook her head and said, “As far as I know, currently, there is only a sacred maiden but no Celestial Maiden in the Wilderness Holy Region.”

The others all looked at Mei Luo in confusion again. They knew too little about the Wilderness Holy Region so they had no idea what she was talking about.

Seeing their confused eyes, Mei Luo directly told them about the Celestial Maiden in detail.

“Several centuries ago, the Wilderness Holy Region hadn’t come into being. There was a place called Southern Border on the southwest border. It was situated on the border of the two countries and didn’t belong to which country so it was bullied and suppressed by the two adjacent countries. Given that Southern Border featured a greater number of women than men since ancient times, the people couldn’t fight back at all. Back then, they literally lived in dire suffering.

“Suddenly, one day, a woman arose with Castle in the Sky and taught the Southern Border people the mysterious method. Besides, she also taught the women there how to raise the worms. After more and more people learned about what the worms could do, the worms of the Southern Border gradually made their name. Thereafter, no one else dared to disturb the Southern Border or set foot there. Therefore, the Southern Border also got increasingly mysterious.

“The outsiders all referred to the worm raising skills of the Southern Border as witchcraft. That was the origin of the witch clan. Afterward, the Southern Border became the Wilderness Holy Region. And that woman was hailed as the Celestial Maiden by the people in the Wilderness Holy Region. The Celestial Maiden was like a goddess in the Wilderness Holy Region. All the people there worshipped the Celestial Maiden and believed that she would bring brightness and happiness for them.

“However, when the Wilderness Holy Region was prospering, the Celestial Maiden was gone, together with the Castle in the Sky she brought. No matter how hard the people of the Wilderness Holy Region looked for her or prayed to Heaven, the Celestial Maiden had never shown up again. The descendants picked the woman best at raising worms among them as the sacred maiden in memory of the Celestial Maiden. Thus, currently, there is no Celestial Maiden but sacred maiden in the Wilderness Holy Region.”

After hearing Mei Luo out, everyone realized that the so-called Celestial Maiden was a legend only. Maybe there was no such a being in the world, let alone the Castle in the Sky. It seemed that Xuanyuan Mo’s memory still couldn’t be recovered.

Duanmu Xi was disappointed again. There was no Celestial Maiden or Castle in the Sky. These were legends. Xuanyuan Mo’s memory couldn’t be recovered at all. The pressure was too overwhelming for her.

Seeing the disappointment in Duanmu Xi’s eyes, Mei Luo comforted again, “Xi, don’t lose heart. Celestial Maiden is a legend but the Castle in the Sky does exist.”

The specific functions and usage of the Castle in the Sky were recorded in the ancient classics of the Wilderness Holy Region. She believed that the Castle in the Sky did exist in the world.

“However, rather than find Castle in the Sky and recover his memory, I think you may as well go through what you have done together and make him fall in love again.” Castle in the Sky might exist but it would be something of a fluke to get this kind of treasure. Those who were not destined to meet it might not be able to find it for a whole life. It would be better if they experienced what they had gone through again.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xue nodded and said, “Your third master is right. You should make Mo fall in love with you again rather than look for the illusory Castle in the Sky. You are such a good girl. I believe that he will fall in love with you again.”

Duanmu Xi’s eyelids drooped with a glint of depression flashing across her eyes. Without getting the memory back, even if he fell in love with her again, he was not the same man she loved before.

In Prince Zhan’s mansion late at night. Two figures were talking in a low voice.

“Alas. Old chap, do you know which courtyard Mo lives in or not?” Situ Kong looked back and observed while asking Nalan Xi who was walking ahead.

Hearing that, Nalan Xi rolled his eyes inwardly and said, “I’ve never been here before. How would I know his courtyard?”

Hearing that, Situ Kong flew off the handle at once, “Since you don’t know, why are you leading the way? I’ve walked for such a long distance.”

“Old chap, can you keep your voice lower? What if we are found?” Situ Kong’s suddenly raised voice freaked Nalan Xi. The latter instantly looked back and took an angry glance at Situ Kong.

Situ Kong didn’t care at all. He insisted, “I don’t care. We are here for Mo with a justifiable reason. What’s to be afraid of?”

While they were talking, they heard a cold voice, “May I ask why you two are here so late at night?”

The sudden voice freaked Nalan Xi and Situ Kong out at the same time.

After figuring out who it was, Situ Kong grinned at Xuanyuan Mo with embarrassment, “Oh, it’s you. It’s been so late. Why aren’t you sleeping?”

Xuanyuan Mo didn’t answer the question but stared at Situ Kong coldly. He had glimpsed them early and just didn’t want to pay attention to them.

Seeing that, Nalan Xi walked to Xuanyuan Mo and said, “We are here to take your pulse.”

“Take my pulse?” Xuanyuan Mo slightly knitted his eyebrows. He was not sick. Why did they come to take his pulse late at night?

“Yeah. Xi told us that you lost your memory so we are here to take a look at you.” If it were not for Xi, he wouldn’t bother to care whether Xuanyuan Mo had lost his memory or not!

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo frowned again with a shimmer of fierceness flashing across his eyes. He looked at Situ Kong and Nalan Xi, saying coldly, “You’ve overthought. I didn’t lose any memory.”

Situ Kong knew that Xuanyuan Mo had lost his memory so he was not mad at the latter but said patiently, “Yeah, you didn’t lose any memory. You’ve just forgotten Xi. This is a lot more serious than losing memory. Hold out your left hand. Let me take your pulse.”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo was slightly dazed. Since he woke up in that room of the inn, he felt that he seemed to have forgotten something important. However, as long as he tried hard to think, he would feel that his head was splitting. That gut-wrenching pain made him unable to continue thinking. Did the memory he had lost have anything to do with her?

Lost in thought, he suddenly felt that his left hand was grasped. He twisted his left hand quickly and got behind them.

Staring at Situ Kong, Xuanyuan Mo started to give off coldness, his eyes glistening with dark luster. If Situ Kong were not her master, Situ Kong would have been killed by him for attempting to lay a finger on him.

Xuanyuan Mo’s behaviors astounded Situ Kong and Nalan Xi both.

He broke free so easily. After all, Situ Kong had been a medium-level Mysterious Saint now. It was fair enough to say that Situ Kong was the top cultivator in the Hantian Continent. However, Xuanyuan Mo just broke free with such ease.

Xuanyuan Mo acted so fast that even Nalan Xi didn’t see his action. Nalan Xi knew about Situ Kong’s cultivation level best. Since Xuanyuan Mo could act so swiftly and break free from Situ Kong, Xuanyuan Mo’s cultivation must be no ordinary.

“We only want to take your pulse. We mean no harm.” Seeing Xuanyuan Mo’s dangerous eyes, Nalan Xi had to go forward and explain.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo put on a cold face, “I don’t need anyone to take my pulse. Please leave.”

Even if he really lost memory, he didn’t need them to take his pulse.

Looking at Xuanyuan Mo’s distant response, they exchanged glances and both saw the worry in each other’s eyes.

Situ Kong looked at Xuanyuan Mo, took out an elixir from his arms and passed it to him, “This is Memory Recovering Elixir. I don’t know whether it will work on you but it definitely does no harm to you. Just eat it if you want to. Or, you can just throw it away.”

Xuanyuan Mo took a glance at Situ Kong’s elixir, he picked it up and threw it into his mouth without thinking. He had an instinct that they wouldn’t hurt him.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Mo ate his elixir, Situ Kong felt slightly comforted.

Nalan Xi stared at Xuanyuan Mo and said seriously, “You are marrying Xi tomorrow. Believe it or not, you and Xi loved each other very much. Now, for your sake, Xi is willing to stay in Baihu Empire. I only hope that you won’t fail her. Otherwise, you will regret it when you get your memory back one day.”

Situ Kong also went forward and said, “If you dare to make Xi sad, I won’t let go of you.”

Xuanyuan Mo’s amber eyes flickered. Although these two old men were warning him, he didn’t feel angry at all. Perhaps it was because they were doing this for her!

“Please rest assured. I won’t fail her or make her sad.”

Xuanyuan Mo’s voice became a lot softer, no longer as cold as before.

Situ Kong and Nalan Xi both nodded when they heard that.

“Well, we will go back then.” Nalan just dragged Situ Kong back after finishing speaking.

“Hey, old chap, do you know how to go back or not? Don’t get lost again.”

“Shut up! Why don’t you show the way if you can?”

…

Hearing their voices getting farther and farther, Xuanyuan Mo slightly curled his mouth.

“Yu Ying.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Hearing the summon, Yu Ying immediately appeared in front of Xuanyuan Mo.

“Send the two seniors out of the mansion.”

Slightly taken aback, Yu Ying said respectfully, “Yes, Your Highness.”
