Chapter 1131: Memories Surge

Chapter 1131: Memories Surge

“Have a bit of an impression? Just how much is ‘a bit’?”

Lin Nuo asked, wondering what kind of impression a child your age could possibly have.

Do you still remember that sword strike?

“My impression is that I seemed to climb pretty high back then, and I wasn’t scared at all. It felt like something was pulling me up the mountain.”

“So, what was it that attracted you? Do you remember what you saw in the end?”

“I don’t really remember… It seems like I ran into some trouble and felt I was in mortal danger. I thought I was definitely going to die, but I didn’t. The person who found me later said I was unconscious. Strangely, I didn’t die, and there was also a little boy who didn’t die after being unconscious.”

Su Kexin rubbed her head, straining to recall those times, but it was too far back; she was just a few years old then, how much could she possibly remember?

“Um… I can’t think of anything, I’m really sorry, Senior Martial Brother…”

“If you can’t remember, you can’t remember; after all, you were just a kid back then. Just be grateful you didn’t die,” Lin Nuo remarked.

“Senior Brother, do you think that’s when my other personality started to show up? The woman we saw in the illusion was probably derived from that personality, right? She’s so terrifying!”

“…”

That’s literally you, you ridiculous new personality.

You’re still freaking out, but according to the usual script, you should’ve already begun to feel the harshness of the human world — with all the treachery and danger, the more you experience, the more you turn into that hateful woman.

Didn’t expect you to end up becoming what you despise.

But now, thinking of Da Su, I find Xiao Su much more likable.

If her name weren’t Su Kexin, she would actually be quite adorable.

I hope she can keep it up, even though that’s not realistic.

“Ah, Senior Brother, if you don’t answer, that means you agree! Ugh, I really hate that woman; she’s so arrogant and dismissive. Just thinking about being occupied by someone like her makes my heart ache. You don’t like her either, right? I beg you, Senior Brother, you absolutely must help me get rid of her!”

The more Su Kexin spoke, the more anxious she became, bouncing around Lin Nuo.

“Don’t worry, I’ll help you get rid of her.”

“Really?! That’s fantastic! You’re the best, Senior Brother!”

“So just don’t panic; if you don’t practice cultivation, you can get rid of her, it’s not that hard.”

Lin Nuo said seriously. Yeah, just let her sleep at home; no one would disturb her, and she could choke on her own drool or something.

“No cultivation?… Well, let’s find Ruo’er first. For now, I need to help Senior Brother. Hey, I heard you came here when you were younger too.”

“Where did you hear that?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Hehe, I have to look into your past, right? I just asked the people from the Lin family. You came here when you were young, about the same time as me. So that surviving little boy is you, right?!”

“You heard it, and if I deny it, would you believe me?”

“Then that means you admit it! Hehe, we really are fated! We’re the only two survivors of Mount Cangshan, proof that we are both chosen ones destined to accomplish something together in the future!”

Su Kexin grew more excited, gripping Lin Nuo’s hand, making him feel her warmth.

What a passionate protagonist.

You hit the nail on the head; we really are chosen ones.

One protagonist, one villain — the two lead characters in this script.

To be honest, it wasn’t just us two who survived; there was also a visitor from the Demon Realm.

That would be Mu Yiting.

The very person you were hunting down before.

“Stop, stop. You’re being overly superstitious; there are plenty of coincidences. Anyway, let’s look for clues in the mountains first.”

“Senior Brother, should we split up to search?”

“No need; we stick together.”

“Oh, okay! I’ll follow your lead. Just tell me what to do!”

Su Kexin was filled with fighting spirit; as long as she was with Lin Nuo, she believed no challenge could block their way!

Though separating might have been more efficient, Lin Nuo had carefully considered sticking together.

After all, this was where Su Kexin had severed the Crack of the Demon Realm; over a decade later, it still felt desolate and bleak, as if scarred by that event.

He worried that if Su Kexin acted alone, she might run into something strange again.

Since there was a chance, he needed to keep a close eye on her.

The two first flew around Mount Cangshan on their swords, but they didn’t see a trace of the Fox People. There were hardly any animals, and not a single hunter had ascended.

Nothing but solitude.

“Senior Brother, there’s nothing here… Should we check somewhere else?”

“Keep looking.”

Then Lin Nuo descended on his sword, trying to recall the place where the Crack of the Demon Realm had appeared years ago.

It should be like this.

Soon, they landed on their swords, stirring a slight breeze that made the flowers and grass sway.

“Senior Brother, this place feels so familiar.”

“What are you remembering?” Lin Nuo asked, curious.

“Just some things… It seems like I walked here back then.”

Memories surged in Su Kexin’s mind, the scenes becoming increasingly vivid, confirming she had indeed been here.

“It seems back then, I heard some voices, but I couldn’t see anyone.”

Memories flooded her head, causing a throbbing pain — as if a long-buried recollection was being unearthed.

“Um… They seemed like they wanted to come to the human world… What exactly were they? There was Demon Qi surging, and I felt like I was going to die, but in the end…”

The memories of the past flickered vividly before her eyes, as if observing that moment from her childhood all over again.

“Senior Brother, I, I…”

Su Kexin clutched her head, restlessly agitated, which only made Lin Nuo increasingly uneasy; even he felt the anxiety rising within him.

At this moment, he should have distanced himself from her to avoid being dragged into trouble.

But instead, he immediately decided to help Su Kexin calm down.

“Senior Brother, I… I feel awful… My head really hurts…”

“Take it slow, don’t rush.”

Lin Nuo quickly embraced Su Kexin and used his power to infuse her with spiritual energy, calming her restless feelings.

This move worked quite well; especially the embrace, which quickly soothed Su Kexin’s anxiety.

The pain in her head gradually faded, and she broke out in a light sweat, her body temperature returning to normal.

“Ah, I’m okay now… Thank you, Senior Brother…”

“What happened to you?”

Lin Nuo wanted to release her, but Su Kexin hurriedly stopped him:

“Senior Brother, no, don’t let go. Just, like this. I always feel that once you let go, you will leave me. I’ll have to face those ferocious monsters alone… I’m so scared…”

“Ferocious monsters?”

Upon hearing that, Lin Nuo felt he had discovered something new.
