This evening, Su Jinxiu was particularly proactive and passionate.
After a burst of pleasure, a panting Liu Nanfeng lay beside her. He didn't fall asleep immediately but gazed at the dim light on the ceiling, as if entering a state of post-coital clarity.
Su Jinxiu, her hair disheveled, rested her head against Liu Nanfeng's chest, listening to the powerful beat of his heart, feeling an indescribable sense of peace.
Just then, Liu Nanfeng suddenly spoke softly, "You have something to tell me, go ahead..."
Liu Nanfeng distinctly felt Su Jinxiu's body stiffen slightly against his chest, but it quickly recovered.
Su Jinxiu let out a long sigh, then lifted her head slightly and asked, "You know?"
Liu Nanfeng reached out, gently pressing her head back down to his chest. He then said, "I know you. When you came back at noon, something must have happened, right? Did you figure it out yourself later?"
Su Jinxiu was somewhat surprised by Liu Nanfeng's perceptiveness. He could sense that?
However, Liu Nanfeng had always been meticulous, so she didn't find it too strange upon reflection.
But it wasn't over. Liu Nanfeng continued, "It should be related to that old Dragon King, shouldn't it? What did he say to you?"
This time, Su Jinxiu was truly startled. She tried to sit up again but was pressed down by Liu Nanfeng once more.
"How do you know?" Su Jinxiu asked, surprised, but her tone was tinged with apprehension.
Even though she had come to terms with it herself, she still felt a flutter of anxiety just before the moment arrived.
However, she quickly regained her composure, wrapped her arms around Liu Nanfeng's waist, and nuzzled against his chest.
Then, without dwelling on how Liu Nanfeng knew, she slowly began to speak, "That old Dragon King wants to know where you've hidden the Dragon Gate through me."
Liu Nanfeng looked enlightened. To find the Dragon Gate, he would inevitably need to regain Feng Zhirun's memories.
Therefore, the old Dragon King must have given Su Jinxiu a treasure that could restore memories.
As expected, Su Jinxiu continued, "That old Dragon King possesses a book called the Three Lives Chronicle. It's a wondrous book capable of restoring reincarnation memories."
Su Jinxiu then elaborated on the function of the Three Lives Chronicle.
"So, what's your decision? Do you want me to regain Feng Zhirun's memories?" Liu Nanfeng asked, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He couldn't tell if it was disappointment, anxiety, or sadness.
"Whether the memories are restored or not, it doesn't hold much significance for me now. As you said before, you are you," Su Jinxiu said gently, caressing Liu Nanfeng's cheek.
Liu Nanfeng felt a warmth spread through his heart at her words but remained silent.
Su Jinxiu continued, "But I want a child. Our child."
"Sigh~" Liu Nanfeng let out a silent sigh at her words.
"And if you regain Feng Zhirun's memories and find the Dragon Gate, not only will you locate the whereabouts of Feng Zhirun's Mother Grass from back then, but the old Dragon King will also give me the one he treasures. Then we'll have two Mother Grasses, and then you and Huai Mei..."
A hint of bashfulness appeared on Su Jinxiu's face as she became immersed in the joy of her own fantasy.
Outside the room, a shadow quietly got up and left.
Liu Nanfeng remained silent, gently pulling Su Jinxiu closer and caressing her shoulder.
So, her words in the park today were for this reason.
His parents had also always wanted them to have a child, and Liu Nanfeng himself harbored the same desire.
He had always thought it was just bad luck that she hadn't conceived. But now that he knew the reason, Liu Nanfeng felt a sense of loss. Despite his pleasant words about waiting until his strength surpassed Su Jinxiu's, how long would that take? It was an unknown.
Liu Nanfeng fell silent, and Su Jinxiu said no more, her heart pounding with anxiety, unsure of Liu Nanfeng's decision.
However, Su Jinxiu didn't have to wait long. Liu Nanfeng spoke, "Where is the book?"
Su Jinxiu's heart leaped with joy, followed by a faint sense of disappointment.
She tightly hugged Liu Nanfeng's waist and said, "Don't worry, I've learned about the restoration of reincarnation memories. Reincarnation awakening is merely the awakening of memories, not their continuation."
The words sounded a bit convoluted, but they essentially meant that recovering memories would not affect one's current personality.
It was like forgetting past memories and then suddenly recalling them one day.
However, it was merely a recall; the past memories would not influence the present personality.
"And to ensure everything goes smoothly, I've also prepared a Soul Guard Grass beforehand."
As Su Jinxiu spoke, she extended her palm, slowly opening her fingers. A small silver grass appeared in her palm.
"It can protect your soul and maintain its state from before consuming this grass. During this period, it will not be affected by any positive or negative influences."
It turned out Su Jinxiu had considered this beforehand and was not entirely unprepared.
"If that's the case, then what are we waiting for?" Liu Nanfeng released Su Jinxiu and sat up.
"No need to rush so much," Su Jinxiu said.
"I'm afraid I might change my mind later," Liu Nanfeng said, reaching out to pick up the Soul Guard Grass from Su Jinxiu's palm.
"How do you use this thing?" Liu Nanfeng asked, looking at the Soul Guard Grass in his hand, which was continuously emitting silver halos.
"Just place it under your nose and inhale it," Su Jinxiu said, also sitting up and revealing her fair chest.
"Such a large stalk of grass, can you inhale it?" Liu Nanfeng said this, but he had already brought it under his nose and taken a deep breath.
The Soul Guard Grass immediately transformed into a wisp of silver smoke, snaking its way up his nasal cavity.
His eyeballs instantly turned silver, and the shape of the Soul Guard Grass appeared on his forehead, then spread out countless silver threads that reached his entire body, like a vast silver net covering him.
At this moment, Su Jinxiu quickly took out the box containing the Three Lives Chronicle and handed it to Liu Nanfeng.
She dared not delay, as the Soul Guard Grass had a time limit and could not protect the soul permanently. When the pattern of the Soul Guard Grass on his forehead faded, it would signify that its protective ability had completely vanished.
Liu Nanfeng felt something being placed in his hand. He looked down to see a brocade box and opened it without hesitation.
Although his eyeballs had turned silvery-white, his vision was unaffected.
Seeing the worn-out book placed inside the box, Liu Nanfeng was a little surprised. This was the Three Lives Chronicle? It looked rather ordinary.
But just then, it seemed as if rivers were flowing on the surface of the Three Lives Chronicle.
Above the rivers were scrolls, and each scroll felt so familiar. A mere glance seemed to draw one in.
Liu Nanfeng reached out and took it from the box. It was a thin book, seemingly with only a few pages.
Casually flipping it open, Liu Nanfeng's vision blurred. In the void before him, a vast river flowed, winding its way.
And he stood above the river like a deity.
He looked down at the river's surface, which was shrouded in a dense mist, obscuring its details.
Just then, he saw three dazzling lights of varying sizes rising from within the river's mist.
Liu Nanfeng remembered Su Jinxiu's words and, with a thought, flew towards the most dazzling of these lights.
