1418 Ive Seen Everything! (1/2)

”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.

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.
