Chapter 1144: Why Did We Lose Our Memories

“What’s that b-sound?”

The altar suddenly shook for no reason, startling Lin Nuo and Su Kexin.

Is it about to have a zombie uprising?

Out of nowhere, a pop-up to catch you off guard!

“Senior Martial Brother, w-what… what’s going to happen… so… so scary…”

Su Kexin tightly grasped Lin Nuo’s hand, panic-stricken at the slightest hint of trouble, instinctively leaning against him, showing her extreme dependence.

And Lin Nuo was committed to protecting Su Kexin; he certainly didn’t want her to explode.

If she went off here, who knows if she could hold back like she did back then?

Maybe now she would take him totally as a demonic traitor and directly remove him from his youthful life.

The main issue is, this place isn’t easy to escape from! If she wanted to jump out, she’d have to face the intense gravitational field holding her down, making it impossible to run away.

So if she were to explode here, the only outcome would likely be waiting for death.

“Don’t panic, stay close to me, nothing will happen.”

“Mm… with you here, I feel safe.”

Though Su Kexin was somewhat scared, she also felt a hint of anticipation, hoping to face life and death with Lin Nuo together. If so, their relationship would definitely heat up; they might even cultivate a love offspring!

This is truly a great opportunity; the heavens are creating chances for them! Finally, they could face disaster together and create more precious memories that belonged to them.

Thinking this, she couldn’t help but smile.

When Lin Nuo saw Su Kexin, who had just been scared, suddenly showing a smile, he couldn’t help but get chills.

Wait, why did you smile? That smile looks terrifying! Don’t suddenly laugh like that!

“What are you laughing at…”

Now it was Lin Nuo’s turn to be scared; the altar shaking didn’t bother him, but Su Kexin was his lifelong rival.

“Ah? I… I wasn’t laughing…” Su Kexin quickly withdrew her smile.

“You laughed, and you didn’t stop!”

“I-I… I suddenly thought of something happy.”

“Are you playing me for a fool? Did you watch *The Little Mermaid*?”

“Ah? Senior Martial Brother, I don’t understand what you’re saying… I truly just remembered something happy, and it slipped out, I’m sorry if I confused you.”

Su Kexin immediately stopped laughing, not daring to laugh carelessly anymore; it really wasn’t the right setting for that! Quite inappropriate!

Lin Nuo felt like he was in a precarious situation, not because of the altar’s abnormalities but because of Su Kexin.

Oh heavens, please don’t let her pull any stunts.

The altar continued to tremble, and at the very top of the altar, where rituals and soul summonings often took place, a strong light suddenly burst forth.

Is someone transforming?

Maybe shouting “Gaia” would have more flair?

Lin Nuo pulled Su Kexin back, gradually moving away from the altar—who knows what might pop out from within?

Not long after, the tremors of the altar stopped, and the brightness at the top dimmed.

Someone emerged.

It was a person.

To be precise, a demon master.

“So it’s this b, causing such a ruckus; I thought it was some heaven-defying individual.”

Seeing the spirit of that demon master, Lin Nuo finally breathed easy.

A defeated foe isn’t worth worrying about.

He was defeated once before, and he could easily do so again.

Or he could entirely obliterate him right now; it was all a walk in the park for him.

“It’s all good; you’ve been dealt with before; there’s no need to be afraid. He just relies on this little earthquake to regain some face.”

Lin Nuo said, while Su Kexin looked up and, seeing the demon master, still didn’t let her guard down, sticking close to Lin Nuo, terrified something might happen.

“Senior Martial Brother, it wasn’t me who dealt the blow back then… we should be cautious…”

“Fine.”

Lin Nuo scoffed, no matter how strong the demon master was back then, right now he was like that magic wolf, sealed for ages, greatly weakened. Plus, he had already been beaten once by them, so to think he could regain his former glory now was just wishful thinking.

There’s no threat here.

The demon master looked down at Lin Nuo and Su Kexin, his reaction mirroring that of a wolf king—shocked and in disbelief.

After all, he definitely didn’t want to see them return! He almost lost his soul last time!

“Y-you… how… how did you… come back… you had no memories, right… what’s going on…!”

The demon master spoke hesitantly, trembling as he did.

“Nothing much, just passing by to have a look. I didn’t expect you to still be here; I thought you’d completely vanished.”

Lin Nuo sneered,

“Since you’re still around, I’ll lay my cards on the table. You lost to us before, and now you have even less chance of winning. Don’t even think about resisting. We didn’t come here just to kill you; we actually want to confirm something.”

“Confirm? What do you want to confirm? You’ve become a terrifying demon now. Let me tell you, young man, you and the woman beside you can’t coexist, no matter how well you get along, you must face reality.”

“What the heck are you talking about! Why can’t we coexist? What’s your angle?!”

Su Kexin, initially fearful, was instantly furious upon hearing the demon master’s words. She couldn’t allow him to say that she and Lin Nuo couldn’t coexist; they were definitely going to be together from now on!

Her heart was ablaze with anger, and she almost drew her sword to chop this demon master into pieces.

“Don’t be impulsive, we still need to get some information from him.”

Lin Nuo quickly stopped Su Kexin. Don’t act rashly; if she really killed him, how would they proceed from here?

Besides, he wasn’t entirely wrong; it really *is* difficult to coexist. Having experienced it—one a major villain, the other a protagonist; holding hands is already a masterpiece!

“My friend here can be a bit impulsive. So you’d better be cautious with your words; after all, you’ve seen her strength before. Whether or not we can coexist is off the table. You also mentioned we have no memories. Indeed, we don’t, but by chance, we ended up having the same dream and managed to piece things back together. So the question is, why do we have no memories? Surely it’s your doing, right?”

Lin Nuo pressed on the demon master, having already drawn the Sharp Sword; this was a threat through force! If he doesn’t talk, one sword strike could end it all.

Were it not for worrying about Su Kexin’s rash actions, he would have already placed the sword against the demon master’s neck and threatened him, “Say it, or I’ll chop you!”

“This… all these years, you still managed to recall your memories from having the same dream… If you want to leave here, naturally, you’d lose your memories about this place; it’s not that I erased them,” the demon master explained.

“By the looks of you, it seems you’re lying. I advise you not to babble nonsense; with this sword of mine, you won’t be able to keep your soul intact,” Lin Nuo continued threatening.

“I’m not deceiving you; it’s true,” the demon master insisted.

“I did erase your memories.”

At that moment, an old man floated out from the altar.
