Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1166 - 226: Restoring Memories

With Ye Lingyue’s consent, Yun Sheng inserted a strand of Divine Sense into Ye Lingyue.

"Remember, my Primordial Soul resides in the Divine Realm, so I can’t remain long in the Ancient Nine Provinces. I can only help you with treatment once, and whether it succeeds or not is unknown. Whether you can use the same method to treat the Old City Lord in the future depends entirely on you."

After speaking, Ye Lingyue’s Primordial Spirit returned to her body.

With Yun Sheng’s strand of Divine Sense in her, Ye Lingyue felt a peculiar sensation in her body.

It seemed as if someone was guiding her every move.

To prevent Yun Sheng’s Divine Sense from dissipating, she immediately began treating Yuan Xing.

Though Ye Lingyue already knew about Divine Doctor Yun’s medical skills, she was very unfamiliar with hypnosis.

The so-called hypnosis was something Ye Lingyue had never heard of, nor seen, even in the Hong Meng Notebook, and she didn’t know how Yun Sheng would use her to treat Yuan Xing.

With a move of Divine Sense, Ye Lingyue only saw herself raise a hand, and a pair of eyes appeared in her mind.

Those were Yun Sheng’s eyes.

Unlike the eyes Ye Lingyue usually saw, Yun Sheng’s eyes at this moment turned golden, brilliant beyond compare, yet carrying a mysterious power.

A strand of Divine Power seeped into Yuan Xing’s mind.

Originally with eyes blazing in anger, like a mad beast, Yuan Xing became dazed upon contact with those golden eyes, then gradually calm.

A gentle female voice fell into Yuan Xing’s ears.

"Yuan Xing, try to relax. I’m here to help you. Tell me, what happened back then? What did you, the Old City Lord, and those novices participating in the project encounter?"

The female voice seemed to possess infinite magic power.

Yuan Xing frowned, struggling to recall, but the more he remembered, the more violently his body trembled.

"No... can’t."

His hands were bound, and in agony, he leapt up, trying to hit the wall with his head, but was held back by Ye Lingyue.

"Goodness, this kid’s willpower is stronger than I imagined. It seems regular hypnosis is of no use to him. We can only try to invade his memory with Primordial Spirit to investigate what happened back then. However, you need to calm him down first so we can invade his Divine Sense and explore the deepest secrets of his memory."

Yun Sheng reminded Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue nodded.

"Yuan Xing, listen, I’m here to help you. Only by telling me what happened can I help you. If you keep this up, you’ll eventually harm your friends and even family. You’ve hurt and killed many in the Underground Arena Competition. The Heroic Society and the families of those fighters won’t let you go. Do you want Granny Su to once again fall into a helpless situation?"

Ye Lingyue shouted sternly.

Yuan Xing’s body tensed.

In that moment when Yuan Xing’s emotions relaxed, Yun Sheng and Ye Lingyue’s Divine Senses moved, and both their Primordial Spirits invaded Yuan Xing’s Divine Sense.

Darkness lay ahead, as if it were the darkness before dawn, so thick that nothing could be seen.

Ye Lingyue and Yun Sheng’s Primordial Spirits immediately entered Yuan Xing’s Divine Sense.

"Where is this place?"

Ye Lingyue looked around.

"This is the depth of Yuan Xing’s Sea of Consciousness, a broken fragment of his memory, the part he most fears being discovered. We’ll take a look inside; maybe we can find something to help him mend this memory fragment," Yun Sheng urged Ye Lingyue to continue forward.

After walking for a while, the two traversed through layers of fog, and several points of light appeared ahead.

Gradually, those points of light became clearer, transforming into several people.

These people, with faces full of dust, walked in the middle of the group, led by a familiar figure.

The man’s face resembled the crazed Yuan Xing, but his features appeared younger and more raw; clearly, he had recently become a novice. Yuan Xing at that time was about sixteen years old, similar to Ye Lingyue’s age now.

In front of Yuan Xing walked a young man about twenty-five or twenty-six, and a dignified man led at the front of the group.

Each bore some degree of injury, appearing as if they had just experienced a fierce battle, with Yuan Xing the most heavily wounded.

At present, they struggled through a rugged mountain pass, each step seeming heavy.

"That’s Yuan Xing; leading the group should be the Old City Lord. The three of them were participants in the novice trial that year, and the man at the back, if I’m correct, is Yuan Xing’s good friend Su Mu. But where are the rest of the group?"

Ye Lingyue hadn’t expected that through Yuan Xing’s deepest memories, she could recall the events from back then.

As Huangquan City Lord said, under the leadership of the Old City Lord, Huangquan City wasn’t the desolate place it is today.

Every year, many novices came to report at Huangquan City.

The novice team Yuan Xing joined to venture out from Huangquan City that year likely consisted of at least seventeen or eighteen people.

Yet before her, only three remained.

Although Yuan Xing also bore injuries, at that time he seemed normal, just weak.

Ye Lingyue was eager to know what they had encountered, but Yuan Xing’s memory started here, evidently indicating that what happened next was the most painful for him.

"Old City Lord, we’ve been trapped in Qiulin Ruins for over ten days, and that demon won’t stop haunting us. Our food and water are exhausted. If we can’t find a way out soon, we’ll die here,"

Su Mu anxiously glanced at Yuan Xing ahead, his face full of guilt.

Earlier, Yuan Xing had been injured rescuing him, losing too much blood. All the Elixir Pills they had had deteriorated and couldn’t be consumed. Without an Alchemist among them, Yuan Xing wouldn’t hold out long.

"There’s still a third of the distance left, requiring at least five more days. I’m worried if this continues, none of us will last. Su Mu, we must act separately to find food and water," the Old City Lord didn’t expect this novice task to turn into a death march.

In Qiulin Ruins, they had become entangled with an unknown demon, leading to the sequential deaths of the novice team members.

Now only the three remained.

Especially now that Yuan Xing was seriously injured.

"No, we don’t know where the demon lurks, and with Yuan Xing injured, if we leave without anyone to care for him, he’ll surely die."

Su Mu firmly rejected the Old City Lord’s proposal.

"How about this: we take turns looking for food and water, leaving someone to care for Yuan Xing."

The Old City Lord contemplated.

Yuan Xing and Su Mu were his most valued rookies; he didn’t want either of them to be sacrificed.

"Alright."

Su Mu finally agreed with the Old City Lord.

The Old City Lord took on the task of searching for food, while Su Mu stayed to care for Yuan Xing.
